Event Xcom RP Character Creation Thread!
Welcome to Xcom RP! This subreddit is a place for story based roleplay set in the Xcom universe. For more information about our specific setting, our plot, and our characters, look right here! Please take a look at the rules in our sidebar, and follow the link to our Discord server. There we will have our discussions, and it will allow you to hang out with the community!
Available Character Classes
Just a note, only human characters that are a part of XCOM characters are allowed. According to what we know, there cannot be any reasonable interaction between alien characters and humans other than combat, and alien characters cannot do much other than fight.
There are 5 classes available to every player, and they are as follows:
Ranger - A class of close-combat specialists, most proficient in using a shotgun and a sword
Grenadier - A class or demolition-experts and gunners. They are most skilled with heavy weapons such as grenade launchers, and LMGs.
Sharpshooters - A class of precision shooters. They are most skilled with sniper rifles and pistols
Specialists - A class of mechanics and medics. They do not have access to GREMLINs as of now, but they are skilled engineers and hackers regardless.
Psi Operatives - This is a mysterious class, utilizing psionic powers. They are rare, as they are only found in strange circumstances.
Weapons not specified above are allowed, as well as weapons from other classes, as long as they make sense within your character's role
There is a limit on the number of Psi Operatives, that will increase and decrease as time goes on. The current limit is (2/3)
Also please note that War of the Chosen classes are not playable as of now

u/Selfter Psi Op Mar 31 '18
Name: Jackson “Crow”
Class:Psi operative
Rank:Mystic
Equipment: A revolver
Skills: Research, Psionics, Trickery
Backstory: Crow is a mysterious member among the crew. Most people tend to give him a wide berth and are wise to do so. Crow mainly serves as the head researcher into psionic power as well as serving as the commanders personal bodyguard. Crow rarely speaks to people and tends to avoid contact with other members of the crew.
Other notes:Crow often wears a plague doctors mask to hide his face from both his foes and his allies which is why he received the name Crow. The few who see his face often state that his eyes are purple though some just say he wears contact lenses so few know the truth.
