UFO: Abandonia Unknown: The Resurrection
 

Most of you are familiar of the game Ufo: Enemy Unknown. And some of you might even remember SupSuper's topic Ufo: Abandonia Unknown, or the more recent Abandonia Apocalypse: Strikes Back! by Fifth Horseman.
As Fifth Horseman has succumbed to his sickness called "real life" (:p), I've decided to run a game of my own, only with the older game.

Proloque:

In AD 2101, war was beginning-
No, wait, that's the wrong script.
Ahem.

It is the beginning of the year 1998. In the past year, a contact was made with alien life... and it wasn't a nice one. They have been abducting cattle, and while there are no confirmed reports, the rumor is that they're doing it to people too...

While the aliens have not made an outright attack, there's little use denying their existence. The sighting of an UFO is not a daily thing, but reports are saying that approximately 36 % of the population of USA have positively witnessed an UFO at least once.

The countries of the world united, and decided to form a group to study and repel this menace.
The group's name is X-Com.
And you're in it.

So the premise of this game is that I'm playing UFO: Enemy Unknown, with the soldiers being named after you forumgoers. I'll post screenshots and reports of the battles your characters go through. Naturally, you are free to roleplay your character as you wish in the meantime. So how do I sign up? Just post the following information in this topic:

Name
Gender
Backstory of character (optional)
Character's specialization (Is he a heavy weapons dude, medic etc.? )

The game will start when we have at least 8 applicants. I'll try to update the game at least once a week.

Gender: Male
Battle role: sniper, grenade thrower

cut and paste

It will take a long time before we get any psi-abilities, but when we get them, you'll get to be the first in line.

1 more soldier needed. Come on girls, this is really near of being an all-male squad!

Can I just say "yay!" to being first in line!

I wonder what the male:female ratio is on abandonia anyways? I suspect the female of the species may be underepresented.
