XCOM: Remnant Rising (XCOM/RWBY Crossover Quest)

[Mad Oracle]

You had fought on the beaches, in the forests, and in the cities. Yet whatever Remnant could throw at the Aliens was worthless, as they brought some of the worst fighting Remnant has seen in years. Grimm overran some of the outside villages as the fighting went on, and soon ADVENT's flag flew over the Huntsman Academies. Ozpin disappeared in the fighting, some cynical folk say he died in the Battle of Beacon, others say he's in hiding. As for Ironwood, Qrow, Glynda, and the rest, they went underground to create the Remnant Resistance. But it was fractured, barely standing on its own two feet.

It's been five years since then, ADVENT having rebuilt and made themselves appear as gods to the people. Now that the years have passed, you were captured and imprisoned in one of ADVENT's citadels, your 'relocation' scheduled for tomorrow. A shame really, you wished to keep fighting till your last breath. But now...Now you're just rotting in a cell, waiting for your eventual demise.

Ain't life a bitch?

But it isn't all bad, at least you didn't kneel before ADVENT like most of the people of Remnant. Thinking back on it all, where did you build the Resistance? The fires of war had turned your men into something better than they once were.

Leader: Arslan Altan

Bonus: Decrease Recovery Time by 15%
