Valkyria Chronicles Character Pool

Description
Adds 70 characters from the first Valkyria Chronicles game, including;

*All of Squad 7 (including all hidden characters, the Drill Instructor, and the two engineers [the Engineers are VIP-only])

*Maximillian and the Drei Stern (Selvaria, Gregor and Jaeger)

*Irene Ellet

*The Aged Gentleman (Roald Kakkunen)



All of the characters have unique bios. Their backstories are based on their canon VC stories, but with details changed to fit within the XCOM 2 universe.

The fictional country of Gallia was based on a mix and match of various countries, including Fance, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Finland. So I mixed and matched the nationalities to be from those countries. They are mostly from Finland, though, because apparently it is the country that resembles Gallia the most.

Similarly, Maximillian and the Drei Stern are mostly from Germany, except for Jaeger, who is from Austria.


Instead of a single uniform, I tried to change their gear slightly from person to person. A few characters also have backstories that claim they don't like to use armor at all, so I made them shirtless. I also took some liberties, since "anime face" is not an option XCOM gives us. Some characters with darker skin, I made into afro-descendants, for example. Some hairstyles couldn't be replicated well enough, so I changed to the less ridiculous alternative. (Edy is the only character in pigtails, for example, and that is just because with silver hair they don't look so ridiculous.)


UPDATE:

Added a second pool with the same characters, but with the propper Gallian and Imperial flags. It's named "ValkyriaChronicles2(GallianFlag)". Many thanks to Valk for his Valkyria Chronicles Country Pack -- he's awesome and so are all of you fellow modders out there.

I'll add his mod to the requirement list, but, AS FAR AS I KNOW, it's not actually required, same as the more nationalities mod is not required. Not having them will just have your characters default to some other nationality.

@leman42x Sorry man, I sort of gave up on XCOM. Not that the game is bad, just the opposite in that I played it so much I'm kind of sick of it.

I don't think I'd have the patience to re-create all the Gallian characters over one by one.

Could you up date for War of the Chosen please?

This CP would go very well with this mod

@BrickMcLargeHuge

I didn't get the dlc yet (short on cash) but it's just a character pool with no mods in it. I sort of assumed it would still work just fine?

Will there be updates for WOTC? <3

Sorry guys, but I've no plans for making voice packs to compliment this.

Not that it'd be a bad idea, but making voicepacks is just so, so, soooooo *boring*. Endless hours of dragging files and re-listening them and testing and repeating and repeating and repeating, and that's just for a single voice.

If I were to make a voice for each of the different characters, then by the gods I'd lose my mind.

So ya, I take my hat off for people who do voicepacks on a regular basis, but it's just not for me, y'know.

Oh yeah, with a voice pack, this mood will pass from super awsome to extra-super-extrem-2000 awsome ;)

I want a voice pack with some of the Japanese voicovers from the game so I can have my Japanese soldiers speak Nipponese!

Took me three days. Not full days, of course, but, huh, about 6 hours total I think.
