X-COM Alpha Squad

[Name: Marit Silje

Age: 39 years old

Code Name: Dozer

Class: Heavy Assault Unit

Rank: Colonel

Nationality: Norwegian

Appearance: She has greying hair and sunken eyes due to her late nights staying on call for missions. She’s 6’1” tall with a bulkier build due to her constantly carrying heavy weapons. She has plasma burns on her stomach and arms from where her armor was melted through.

Personality: Marit is the only person on the Alpha Team that has military experience. Originally she was a member of the Royal Norwegian Army as a large arms repairwoman. She loves explosives and heavy ordinance so when she was given a position at X-COM she joined immediately. It was all fun and games for her until her fourth mission.

While she was still a squaddie rank soldier she went on a mission and was one of the first people in X-COM to encounter Mutons. Her squad was heavily under geared for the mission since most of them were rookies. They were only able to save a dozen civilians before the first Muton squad dropped in and mauled through and shot three of her squad mates killing them. She was the only survivor of Gamma Squad that day and still carries survivors guilt over the deaths. That’s when she became the much more serious and tactical leader of the Alpha Squad.

Gear: Heavy plasma LMG, titan armor, RPG, and a plasma grenade.]

[Name: Wendy Smith

Age: 28 years old

Code Name: Gunner

Class: Assault Unit

Rank: Corporal

Nationality: American

Appearance: She’s a 5’5” woman with blue eyes, short brown hair, and slightly pouty lips. She has six pack abs and toned thighs due to lugging her plasma rifle around in the battlefield.

Personality: She’s the stereotypical marine who chews on crayons. She’s a goofy and bubbly making her the team’s unofficial moral support. Before she joined X-COM she was a farm hand on her dad’s ranch. She’s a natural at taming and taking care of animals. Except for chickens, she doesn’t know why but chickens fucking HATE her. Other than that she’s able to be friends with any animal. When her two brothers decided to join the X-COM program she enlisted to keep them safe, somehow they’re dumber than her so she has to play big sister to keep them from getting killed or god forbid probed by aliens.

Although she does have a talent for music, she can play almost any instrument like an amateur. It won’t sound very good but she can “kind of” play and sing she hears.

Gear: Plasma rifle, titan armor, plasma pistol, and a plasma grenade.]

[Name: Bärbel Carry

Age: 32 years old

Code Name: Mute

Class: Sniper Unit

Rank: Sergeant

Nationality: German

Appearance: She’s a blonde woman with her hair cut in a short bob cut, her body is thin but muscular with a focus on her leg muscles due to her skiing. She’s also pale due to low sun exposure but has freckles across her face. She’s 5’10” tall.

Personality: Bärbel

She lost her voice when the first drop pods came down in her home town. She tried evacuating the city with her deaf bother but they were separated when a pod dropped too close by and took them by surprise, Bärbel was able to hide behind a bus stop but her brother was encased in a green slime. Every person hit with the green stasis gel had looks of terror as their petrified forms were still alive, all Bärbel could do was try and rip the gel off her brother but when a car exploded nearby and knocked her out the subsequent smoke damaged her voice box so much she could no longer speak. It’s the main reason she joined X-COM to avenge her brother.

Since she already knew sign language because of her brother she can speak with her hands. It’s her main form of communication now. The entirety of Alpha Team can understand her sign language.

When she was in college she took up ski-shooting and became an Olympic level athlete, she would have been in the Olympics had it not been for the aliens invading Earth. She keeps her old metals in her bunk and still practices her aim, although her plasma sniper rifle is a lot different from her competition rifle that’s for sure.

She’s friendly but tends to hate small talk. The reason being is that it hurts her fingers to try and keep up with the conversation so she would rather have deeper and slower conversations.

Gear: Plasma sniper rifle, skeleton suit armor (including grappling hook and speed boost), plasma pistol, and an arc thrower.]

[Name: Duyên Mai

Age: 24 years old

Code Name: Sheriff

Class: Support Unit

Rank: Captain

Nationality: Vietnamese

Appearance: Duyên is a 5’3” Vietnamese woman with long silky black hair that goes down her back and she personally cuts it herself. She has a slightly chubby body due to her stress eating.

Personality: Duyên lived in Vietnam with her single mother Liên who runs a small town family barber and hair stylist. When Duyên was a child she was known as the town gossip since she worked with her mom and would listen in on all the stories and things people would say. When she got older she learned to cut men’s beards first since most men in her town wanted full shaves or trims and then moved onto haircuts when she became fully certified. She still keeps the certificate in her locker in the X-COM locker room.

During her time in college she took nursing classes to follow her dreams. Her mother fully supported her and even bought Duyên her first pair of scrubs and embroidered a small message inside the collar which reads, “Mang lại sức khỏe bằng tình yêu thương.”

When the aliens first attacked Germany she enlisted to defend the people of her country and humanity. She still sends letters and emails to her mother from time to time to make sure she’s doing okay.

Gear: Smoke grenades, titan armor, plasma pistol, and a plasma rifle.]
