I'd first like to point out that this will be my first time GMing an RP. Any suggestions you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
-------------------------
Have you ever thought, 'Wow, I really wish there was an RP based on the hit 1990's game X-Com'? If so then I may have the RP for you. I am writing up the OP of... [HEADING=1]X-Com: Fight for Earth[/HEADING] I'd like to know how many people would be interested.
For those of you who have not heard if the game this RP is based on here is the Wiki link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Enemy_Unknown
It shall be a retro-futurist, mission based, free-form Rp (if that makes sense), based around a squad of X-Com recruits fighting against the advanced alien menace invading Earth.
Here is the Character-sheet template for you to peruse at your leisure, tell me what you think. What can I add or take away?
Please don't submit any sheets on this thread, just tell me what you think and if you'll be interested please. If I get a good enough reception I'll start a thread for it, if not then at least I tried.
Edit: Drop me a PM and I'll message you when the thread is up.

You will be sent on missions, given objectives and left to complete them as you see fit (within the bounds of realism), players will also get the opportunity to be placed on the teams chain of command, an extra incentive for completing objectives and going beyond the call of duty. BUT! Before you decide to go Rambo heed these words of caution, your actions have consequences. You can be fired, cause international incidents, abducted and even killed, so you will need to consider the possible ramifications that your actions may cause.

Name: If you are at a loss as to what this means then this Rp is not for you.
Age: Read above
Sex: (stop snickering!)
Nationality: This is an international effort to combat the alien menace, try to vary where you come from please.
Appearance: Nothing to grueling. Simply a description of your characters features, like a kick-ass beard or physique of an Olympian god.
Specialization: Can you throw a grenade like a Yankee pitcher? Can you run like a Kentucky derby winner? Can you shoot the wings off a fly? Whatever makes your character worthy of joining X-Com is put in here. A maximum of two please.
Vices: None of us are perfect and we each have our own baggage or 'demons' to lug around with us. Whats yours? Are you a coward? Do you drink heavily? Tell me your flaws.
Background: How have YOU gotten to where you are today? Tell me a little about yourself, what army was your character a part of before you were recruited? A Paragraph will do.
