I don't like it when the robots start giggling in glee while killing things.

I'm not working on that robot.
 
*Grumble mumble*

We'll see who works on the robot after it has its targeting systems recalibrated.
 
Name: Alfonsi Aleksei
Nickname/callsign: Superticus
Age: 30
Gender: Male/Female. Whatever there is space for.

Appearance: Brown scalp hair. No facial hair.
Personality: Rather excited about killing the aliens. Likes guns, and is in the habit of closing his eyes just before he pulls the trigger ("It's more fun that way").

History: Was abducted by aliens when he was 12. Totally not crazy then, nor now.

Name: Alergo Moreno
Callsing: Overlord
Age: 48
Nationality: Peruvian/Argentinian

Likes: MOAR Dakka, his family and meat
Dislikes: XENOS, death metal, people asking why is he the skyraner pilot and people that just don't shut up

Personality: Introvert, Perfectionist and Sarcastic

History: Normal dude from Peru, joined the FAP and distinguished himself in the Cenepa War where he went against a Ecuadorian Kfir jet in his Mi-17 and somehow survived. After the war he retired and moved to Argentina where he met his wife. When XCOM was formed his achievement was discovered and he was assigned the skyranger.

Appearance: Shor messy dark brown hair, brown eyes. His Casual clothes are a black t-shirt, with camo pants and boots. He has a daily exersice routine that keeps him in good form.
Relationships: Both his parents live in Lima, Peru but his wife, son and daughter live in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 
Name: Rufus
Nickname/Call Sign: That one guy
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Appearance: Long, scruffy black hair, usually seen with a different plushie every day on his desk, had the last official X-COM sweater before the quartermaster had to order cheap knock-offs.

Personality: Just as eccentric as the rest. Born-troubleshooter who cannot shoot, attracts problems and somehow manages to solve them with some paperwork-fu.

Likes: Plushies, laundering money to buy plushies, solving problems caused by the ways plushies were acquired, saving the world to have more plushies.

Dislikes: Aliens who cause problems to his favourite craftsmen, bosses who either micromanage him or try to understand how exactly the problem was solved, people seeking revenge for his overkill bureaucracy or his money acquisition schemes.

History: ''Problem-solver'' on indefinite loan from the French bureaucracy fed up with That One Guy. Doesn't care for being put on the sidelines like that as the kind of administrative privileges linked to X-COM offer a whole new range of solutions to the problems of importing-exporting plushies. And money is just yet another administrative problem waiting to be solved, isn't it? This EXALT group seems to have way too much money on its hands, right?

Hell, maybe there will actually be some of that barely-legally-acquired money left to give to X-COM after the really important stuff is bought? Maybe.

Nope. Spas. French spas, Greek spas, Roman baths. There's more marble in XCOM HQ then 0 AD Rome.
 
Name: Max Uristwell (formerly Hugh Murphy)
Nickname/Call Sign: Boom-Boom, Psycho, Hey You
Age: 23
Gender: Male

Appearance: When on leave, shows a preference with casual suits. Otherwise, wears regulation attire at all times, citing "the uniform actually fits me properly and if I ever take it off except to wash or wash it, someone might steal it". "For physical appearance see the bloody picture" - Max

Personality: Unhealthy obsession with explosions, face-based carnage or combinations of the two. Otherwise quiet and reserved, but has a nasty sense of humour when confronted with stupidity (XCom's financial department has a restraining order out on him for this reason). Dislikes ostentatiousness when not part of intimidation tactics (eg. "Skulls on armour yes, gold chains no"), the only exception being this tie, which he joined XCom for. Obsessively cleans and irons tie twice a week (Tuesday and Friday).

History: No other personal history forthcoming. Initially sceptical of XCom's existence and/or apathetic towards alien threat until offered the previously mentioned tie, at which point he joined XCom with no further questions asked or answered.

Relationships: Generally quiet around colleagues and support staff, but easily angered by incompetence (real or imagined) or damage (real or imagined) to his tie. Has a crush on Stana Katic.

Name:James Clarke
Nicknames: You're No Fun, How On Earth Did You Get Behind Me Without Anyone Noticing
Age:20
Gender:Male

Appearance: XCOM Uniform(Non-combat)
Personality: Only Sane Man. If you discount treating the alien invasion as completely normal.
Likes: People not being stupid, being under Budget, aiming abilities of soldiers.
Dislikes: Stupidity, Rufus people wasting money, whoever installed all those jacuzzis and spas, even if they are rather nice.
History: [Redacted to avoid blackmail]
Relationships:Is Head Of Finance and Person Who Keeps Rufus From Spending All Our Money.
Supports the Finance Department's restraining order on Max.
Trying to find a therapist for XCOM.
 
Name: Minato Futoba
Nickname/Call Sign: Peeper, Raven 1
Age: 43
Gender: Male

Appearance: Keeps himself clean, shaven, and looking like the military fighter pilot he is. Otherwise the only distinction is the fact that he always seems to be wearing oversized aviator sunglasses not matter where he is or what time of day it might be.

Personality: He seems to take everything in stride. Even an alien invasion didn't cause him much pause. His colleagues think that it's because he's from Japan, and thus already used to alien invasions.
Likes: Kenny Loggin's 'Danger Zone', new weapons on his Interceptor, anime night ("What? Oh I get it, ha ha Japanese guy likes anime he must be a pervert who loves tentacle monsters. You guys need to grow up.")
Dislikes: Anyone who refers to him by his callsign ("I do not do that! like you could even tell if it was a woman under that flight suit anyway...")

History: Minato spent most of his years before the invasion as a pilot for the JASDF. He couldn't say he had that thrilling of a career; most of his missions involved playing chicken with Chinese aircraft over contested airspace. He got his nickname for his habit of getting as close as possible to his target, enough that his fellow pilots assumed that he was trying to get a look at any women inside.

XCOM offered him a change of pace. Instead of playing chicken with the Chinese he could play chicken with aliens, with the added bonus of being able to shoot at them. He jumped at the chance and became an Interceptor pilot.

Relationships: Is at constant odds with Rufus for trying to get canards installed on all the Interceptors.
Family lives in Tokyo. He worries that his wife will forget about him, being in a secret underground base and all, but then again considering how little they saw of one another to begin with he realizes it's probably unfounded.

Name: Hassan Amin
Nickname/Call Sign: Mortifer, 'Damn it.'
Age: 21
Gender: Male (?)

Likes: Trolling, living, his hair.

Dislikes: Dying, four-armed psychics.

Personality: Trollish. He'll always try to troll people. Except for around four-armed psychics, then he actually takes things seriously.

Appearance: Curly brown hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Wears black clothes/armour. Occasionally wears a Trollface mask.

History: Hasan tells a different story every time someone asks about him. These range from 'I was conscripted because I trolled the Council,' to 'I killed the former commander with my left big toe.' He then gives a huge-shit eating grin and walks off. No-one knows if he's just making stuff up or not, but he probably is.

Relationships: Most XCOM personnel don't like him. The Commander thinks he's funny, but 'In Small Amounts.' Doctor Vahlen thinks the same, although in her case, 'In Small Amounts' means 'Scattered body parts.'

According to him, his worst enemy is a four-armed psychic that stole his dog a week before Aliens started attacking. No-one takes him seriously on this, though.
 
Finance would like to inform the employees of XCOM that all external purchases must be run through Finance first.
On an unrelated note, if anyone has ideas on extracting money out of the former Finance employees, plase send them to James Clarke.
 
I'm planning to have slice of life sections in between scanning for aliens. For example, if it takes one week of in game time to find a new alien, I will have seven interludes detailing day to day life at the XCOM base. What do you guys think?

As long as we don't have to wait several weekends for a game post.
You also owe us an update.

I know. It is just that I have been worked too hard by my teachers. Just finished my Research Paper and now I have to do Finals. I'll open up XCOM right now and do some promotions if it makes everyone feel better.

Fine by me.

Want me to redo my old profile to be more fitting with the usual schtick?

What if the money for the purchase has been... liberated... from unrelated sources of funding?

Do you want the rest of the accounting information of that Columbian drug lord, BTW? There's only seven pesos left after the plushies order, but given our financial situation, I guess that everything helps.
