Hey, I got something "original". I'm going to be doing a rimworld USCM thing for Rimworld.
Some backdrop of the rimworld story:
The USS Almayer had deployed to an outer colony distress beacon on RIW-1077. There they discovered a threat unlike any other: Xenomorphs which they fought throughout the planet for several days before calling a retreat. Throughout this fight, they obtained intel of lost USCM patrols such as the USS Royce and other such parties that were scattered around the planet. The xenomorph threat was too great and lead to an attack inside the Almayer, leading to the inevitable Self Destruct and the demise of the Almayer. As the Almayer Self Destruct activated, she launched remaining pods and detached the cryopod bay toward RIW-1077. Now the remaining crew of the USS Almayer have to survive the threats this planet had made with xenomorph threat on the rise, CLF bandits all over the world, and insane monsters from whence it came.
So I got bored and wanted a reason to make a USCM group on rimworld. The stranded crew will have to survive on a planet reveling with monsters and crazy things. This is going to be a roster of 20 people, 10 starting, 10 lost (The lost will most likely just be randomly picked characters that I know of or secondary characters that you want, they won't have much stat changes compared to the starting).
Mods include the USCM stuff, AVP, and Xenomorphs. Several cosmetics mods (This does not come with facial hair however), Genetics, Robots, Androids, Rimsenal Stuff, Clucker's Military mods, and really that's it. No major mods to make note of.
The game will be already set up with a somewhat average made base with average equipment in it, and equipment will be dropped along with the starters depending on roles.

FORMAT FOR ENTRY This will make the process of making a character easier.Spoiler:
1-5=low 6-9=below average 11-14 above average 15-20 high PASSIONS can be any skill of your choice.
There is a list of primary roles and their subroles. Each role has their own skillsets and personal build that your characters may focus on which is varied on your skill of choice and passion distribution.
ROLES:Spoiler:
CHARACTERS CURRENTLY ADDED TO THE GAME:Spoiler:
Roles: Marines will get skill points relative to their most preferred role. I.E if you picked medic marine, you'd choose the medical skill, etc. etc.
I'll be clear on this, this is not a regular rimworld experience, this will be debugged with a bunch of admin spawned things on start of map and will kinda work like a WO map where you defend the base until the inevitable. We will be working with a Rough difficulty using a storyteller that will constantly throws raids at us.
IMPORTANT: While this is a not a regular experience, I will hopefully compile a story from the mayhem that would ensue, characters in the game are the characters and events will be based on the things that happen in the game. It'll just be shortstories, nothing too big like on the arts & stories.
If this works out, I'll start to make this a regular thing, possibly making it more multiplayer friendly (I.E taking out the QoL mods) and possibly doing a Savage Setting with a storyteller that raids and we can have a game there.
NOTES: I will generally make responses when I see new updates to this, but in the mean time, it will be much easier to get your character descriptions if you have image that you have or if you have the game, the list of stats and backstory. This is to make my time easier, but if you don't have any clue, just give me a brief description of your character. Game moments will either be displayed here-where I'll probably only do the introduction of the marines or upcoming massive shenanigans that transpired between players-or in the Discord "Other-games" channel.
