I have so many ideas! Is it alright if I post more than one character for this?

Oh, fun. Can you add in the LW Samurai class? That one is great fun!

Either way I'll post a character submission tomorrow. I have to ponder what i want to go with.

@Mephansteras
I will take a look at that. Answer will likely be yes.

Sure, go nuts.

It's reasonably balanced. Very powerful in melee but sucks with guns. The trick is to survive long enough to get promoted to the levels where you start getting survival bonuses.

I also enjoy the LW2 The Axe Mod and LW2 Katana pack reloaded. Lots of fun melee weapons in there. The Ninjato in particular is wonderful for Shinobi.


I think I'll grab a random favorite from my character pool:

Name: Vanya Grave
Nickname: Graverobber
Nationality: Irish
Gender: Female
Class: Samurai (If not, Shinobi or Assault)
Style: Aggressive, but not suicidal. Wears the most armor available so she can take risks getting up close.
Customization options:
Um...I have a ton of mods installed, so not quite sure where all these came from. But as close as you can get to this:

@Mephansteras
You can export your character. Would be easier than me trying to remake it (and probably more accurate). It would be within the XCOM2 folder in Documents somewhere.
And if you can show me your mod list I'll just grab everything I see to solve any incompatibility issues.

I'm game, although I'd say that veteran difficulty is better than difficulty. I'm not too great and haven't had too much trouble on veteran.


Name: Blase Svenson
Nickname: Brass
Nationality: American
Gender: Male
Class: Specialist
Style: Shotgun toting specialist. Probably requires a high mobility.

Name: Adam Rojas
Nickname: Ensign Redshirt

Customization Options: Red armor. Otherwise, anything works.

Name: Eto Shuzaka
Nickname: Shock and Awe
Nationality: Japanese
Gender: Female
Class: Technical
Style: Violent. Loves fire and explosions to a very unhealthy degree
Customization Options: Jet black hair and blood red armor

Name: Mirihero Sakurai

I guess I'll use my standard XCOM character submission.

Name: King George IX
Nickname: King George IX
Nationality: Thinks he is British
Gender: Male
Class: Shinobi
Style: In keeping with his kingly delusions, he likes others to do things for him, especially shoot. Of course, he doesn't mind slicing aliens in half from time to time. [George can also be used as a meatshield for actually useful members of the team as long as you don't tell him :P]
Customization options: I don't know what options there are, but I would prefer something that resembles a crown. And maybe red/blue/white armor to match the colors of the British flag. Anything to make him either look like an insane asylum escapee or like the King of England would be fine, really.

Ok, I now have a Collection set up for my Mods. They all seem to be compatible with LW2. Or at least I haven't found any issues yet.


And here should be an importable version of the character

Name: Anja Galena
Nickname: Silver
Nationality: Brit
Gender: Female
Class: Assault
Style: Slowly and steadily works around the edges of the engagement, ideally only sprinting into the fray once other scouts (usually a sneaky shinobi) have ensured she won't find herself in a bad position. Will take potshots with whatever weapons or skills (Slug Shot) she has until that point.
Customization options: Pale skin, black hair in one of the longer loose hairstyles, red and grey armour, red weapon. Favours whole body armour.

The first batch of missions featuring game-given rookies are done.
Start Point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuvkP6zu7MM&index=1&list=PL3DU-AFaZHocqbhSDq9inWvtInA5emo0W
This is mission zero of the playlist. All the videos are about 20 minutes long, which is definitely nice.

Summary of Mission Zero - Gatecrasher
As told badly
1. We bought a warehouse
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But there were people outside being rude with their loud music, so we decided to calmly stop them from playing music with our guns.

2. Their loudspeakers could float.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
As you can see our aim was affected.

3. Our friend suffered a tragic accident.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
She still had her right to bear arms, though.

4. Some of the other guys didn't like us, so we decided to burn their eyes out.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The one dude in the container was ok.

5. Our friend stops a loud music player.
6. The loud music player in question.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It was a good day for peace and quiet.

7. They got mad.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But since we blew their eyes out everything was ok.

8. We had to get madder.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

9. The face of mercy (.jpeg)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Does this look like one?

10. Lesson about spacing
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Good thing they didn't learn it.

11. Our friends look for the rest of their guys.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They weren't inside.

12. Our friend eventually finds one of their guys.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I think our powers of friendship needs a little work.

13. Their music was so bad it woke the dead.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And the dead suffers despite not having any eardrums.

14. Goku saves the day
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

15. Finish!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It was a good day.

In the future I think I'll cut each mission down to three to five highlights, because doing a long update for each mission is going to get...erm. Bad.
