Well, unless you happen to be Ellen Ripley, being alone is almost never a good thing...which reminds me.  This should probably be an NPC, but the group should probably have some weaselly, greasy Corp guy along with the group - a Burke, someone Everyone Loves To Hate.

Lol, I'm hoping that this will be a 'systemless' sytem game for you guys :D, also I'm very much interested in being a fair but firm GM so i'm not going to let you all get squashed by a huge horde of beasties

and don't worry I've got lots of interesting NPCs planned for you guys.

I was gonna say that synthetics can't have Combat skills, but then remembered that later on they did give them those skills.

*drops frag grenade in the officers bunk*

Right, that's done. Let's go.

Urbanzorro

Lol, I'm considering playing the Lt, any one have an objection to the Alien Queen also being the one giving them orders?

Giving them orders how?  Like, the Queen has hijacked the system, or something?

Urbanzorro

Like the fact that I'll be playing the alien menace and potentally playing the marine lt. so they'd both be me lol

Heheh, Lt "Alien Queen" Gorman would be a sight to behold.

I'll PM my Alpha Male playing buddies and see if anyone wants to be the Lt. Gimme a day or so.

Urbanzorro

kk, Lol though I'm still debaiting and if there aren't any objections I may just play him

Wait what? Lookw e know somebody's gotta bite the dust so do an NPC LT and kill the sucker. :D

Haibane

Well I sent 1 PM but if you want to NPC him Urban, go for it, it's like, your game dude.

In the meantime you could set up a character thread for us all to repost our chars in - or you could take them all and post them in one monster post. And maybe an OOC thread so we can start foaming without clogging up the players wanted board.

Urbanzorro

That it is, tough I just want to see if anyone dislikes the idea lol, And I suppose I should clarify this a Platoon isn't just one squad, there are normally at least 3, the other 2 squads are going to be npcs that go to seperate parts of the planet than 1st squad so there will be alot of ppl biting the dust.

In some ways I would prefer a player to lead us because it would seem more genuine, you know?

On the other hand a real player could right royally screw us all up, while your NPC guy wouldn't.

I suppose I'm 65/35 in favour of a live player.

ReijiTabibito

Plus, we're going to have NPCs with us...trust us, there's going to be no shortage of people to die.

Haibane

I've got several other guys I can PM, Urban. Shall I?

If more than one is interested perhaps the extra could play a company man or a scientist or something?

Urbanzorro

Go ahead and P.M. some people. I'm about to start working on the threads I should have them up in a few minutes.

If we get more than the 1, the group could use a xenobiologist - someone who knows something about the Xenos themselves.  A WY man...unless he breaks from the mold, WY employees have been downright awful.

Haibane

I've rattled a few cages, lets see what happens.

I know a guy who always plays weird twisted versions of everything, sometimes obscurely dark. He could play both a xenobiologist with a twist or a fresh take on a WY man who would surprise you. I've PMd him though I have no idea if AvP is his bag.

Urbanzorro

At this point I'd be accepting of a WY man/woman if we manage to fill up the Lt slot and someone else wants to play. that having been said I'm not feeling a xenobiologist at this point, simply because I've got a few suprises lined up for you guys and I want the xenos to be a bit of a mystery. That having been said the Platoon Leader has a piece of equpment he/she can get that will tell them all about any aliens/robots they encounter (for a price of course)

The Great Triangle

I would be up to play a squad leader, although the idea of a xenobiologist or company man also excites me! 

My character idea for a squad leader would be a Japanese-American military scholar who mostly acts as a tactical advisor, though when the chips are down, he gets his sword out and starts charging the enemy like it's WW2.  I must admit I am a little lacking in knowledge about the USMC officer corps though; the enlisted men are a lot more famous, after all.

Mad scientist is one of my favorite schticks though, especially if there's some kind of human/xenomorph hybrid action going on.

It may be at least partially my fault for mentioning Gorman in the first place.  This is not to say that anyone who plays him is automatically going to be considered as him.
