CHAPTER 1: STITCHES AND SPACE JETS
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
X-COM, they called it. A defense program set up by the nations of the Earth to fend off some sort of alien invasion. They feared that, worst-case scenario, a full-scale invasion could devastate the planet and end up with everybody enslaved under a new regime. Lucky them.

My name is Gendo Ikari. I'm not supposed to be here. But apparently someone decided these idiots couldn't run the show themselves, so they plucked me from beyond to have me try and corral this bunch of headless chickens into a cohesive unit. I don't quite understand how they stitched my legs back on, but I'm grateful.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They asked me what my skill level was, as far as military command went. Apparently I was in need of a grade-school level refresher course. I picked Superhuman, more out of spite for these thickheaded idiots than confidence in my own abilities. Not that I'm lacking.

After they were finished with the briefing a couple of techies took me up in a jet to orbit the planet. They told me to pick a good spot for a base.


: Now, I'm not trying to question your judgment or anything, but is there any reason we had to take a jet trip up here instead of using Google Earth? Or, you know, a map?

: Mr. Ikari, X-COM is the most scientifically advanced group in mankind's history! Take advantage of it! Why look at a map when you could fly a jet into space?

: I'm not going to answer that. It would just encourage you.


So here I am, staring at the Earth from on high, trying to find a suitable base. I'm open to suggestions.

Spoiler: Why yes (click to show/hide)I AM tired, delirious, and just through reading a particular Princess Maker 2 LP!

I was curious, regardless, of who would be the best person to lead a Redshirt Army against an alien invasion, and this seemed like the best choice, barely edging out Kamina on who would get the most soldiers murdered. So here we are!

Please suggest a base location, and if you want submit a sheet for a soldier. I'll need

Name+Profile pic: (Name should be obvious, and provide a picture you'd like to represent your character. I can handle re-sizing, though pre-shrunk status is appreciated.)
Gender: (Least likely to be attended to based on the random draw of soldiers)
Preferred Equipment: (Obvious, I'd think)
Bio: (Any other info you'd like to share, I'll try and work it into character interactions)

Keep in mind this will be a somewhat comedic LP, simply because I am by far the most incompetent X-COM player to ever attempt an LP on this forum, so bear with my insanity.

Phantom:
Must, somehow, finish, TFTD, LP...


MEANWHILE:
Name: Ikari Gendo
Gender: Female
Preferred Equipment: Heavy Plasma, Alien Grenades. Medkit.
Bio: Gendo Ikari's illegitimate sister trying to subtlety kill him so she can collect his skull/

sonerohi:
Name: Uriel Sohryu
Gender: Male
Equipment: Laser Rifle

Might I suggest the west tip of northern Africa? Good coverage for Africa, Europe, and a sliver of South America.

breadbocks:
Name: Codecimal the Prolonged
Gender: Male
Preferred Equipment: (Rotate between these each incarnation) Most accurate, incendiary, Pistol x2.
Preferred Class: (Again, rotate) Sniper, Pyro, Scout
Important Stats: (;s separate incarnations) FA, Reactions, bravery, strength; FA, Strength; Reactions, TU, bravery
Bio: Due to an accident involving a model railgun, a jet engine, and some concentrated Carbon, Codecimal regenerates extremely quickly after death, resulting in what was first called "Jesus Syndrome", but now "Carbon Curse", due to the extreme morbidity of it all, which makes him in effect revive shortly after death. At first, the recovery was all over the place, making some lives extremely retarded, and others positively genius, but around the 37th time, it fell into a standard rotation of three mindsets. Currently, he has reached his 53rd life, and is in the first of his states, nicknamed "Dead Eye" by his monitoring physicians, where he has the most common sense, and also extreme muscular control, which lets him be very precise with his otherwise shoddy rifle. The next in the set is "Firestar" which translates to a paranoid schizophrenic who has a taste for pyromania. Last, is "Guido", characterized by utter douchebaggery, a fake Italian accent, slicked back hair, and an overblown sense of his own abilities, so he is usually the first to barge into a party.

Cerej:
Huh.  I'm actually seeing one of these starting.  Anyway, I think Gendo would go with what he knows.  Since he doesn't have ancient prophetic scrolls telling him where to build his base, he'll build it in Tokyo because it worked last time.

Also, since he's a bastard one of the first eight soldiers has to be Shinji.  Let's see how quickly the abusive parenting leads to tragedy.
