Ultramodern 5e - Xcom meets Pacific rim and agents of shield. Looking for 4 players this Sunday.

Setting info. Hi everyone, my name is Mario and I'm a 5 year old D&D 5E DM/Player. The campaign im planing now (Even though it is a bit in a rush creating the listing, but the world is done as i have been planing this campaign for over a year but my irl friends are pathfinder oriented) is a mix between the tv show agents of shield, game xcom and movie pacific rim. In the year 2025 the higgs boson was discovered and then 20 years later technology evolved, landscapes were destroyed, leaving alien life, sentient machinery and raiders scattered across the world.  The players would play a special squad that intervenes in dangerous rifts, technology and serves as the sentinels that protect the world from those events, at the same time develop new technology, use gathered info and tech for there own purpose and ever expand. (And yes, the game would be on Earth, just a bit in the future). The games would be more episodic in nature where serveral sessions would serve as one hook, then after that some new thing comes. Characters The character creation is preety basic, 4d6, drop lowest, though if you get 6 times a score of 8, il allow reroll's, dont want you playing something you hate. Even though there are alien races, if you do decide to play as one of them, just go over with me on them as i will need to explain how i perviced them in my world and settle that with you.  One notable thing in the ultramodern book, there are no archtypes, you take what you like in the book.  Style of running the game. I like to run on the rule of cool, if it sounds logical i will allow it, if not i wont, end of story. What i DON'T want/wont do in a game is over-sexualise things or  describe scenes of torture (it all fades to black for me). Don't attack other players (unless mind control is in effect) or instult them. We are here to have fun and all deserve a spot in the spotlight and have fun when you roll a nat 20 or laugh when you get a nat 1. It's a game and we should treat it as one.    Final words If you're interested in this kind of game, leave your name, age and experience with D&D below (New players are also welcomed and i would gladly introduce them to the limitless world of D&D). Also, if you have an idea for a character, go ahead and share what kind of char would you be. The campaign would take place every second Sunday (Unless agreed diferently) at 6PM-10PM GMT+2 (the time isn't set in stone). I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you! (Important note. Im not a native english speaker so i will try my best to DM and try bring you as much fun as i can.) 
Hello there! :) My name is Dietmar, i am 33 years old, and i have basically next to zero practical experience. I did have one "introductionary" game and did some thorough reading on character creation, the basics of the game, and how to fill out a Roll20 character sheet (for D&D5e at least). Why i am replying to your thread is (ofc) because i would be very much interested in a SciFi version of this wonderful game, especially now that you cannot go LARPing anymore, with the whole "you know what" business going on.
That is excelent, i will contact you in messages. 
Good day! 34 years old from Nova Scotia here. I am familiar with 5e and have roughly 15 years of ttrpg experience, but never had an opportunity to play ultramodern 5e. I certainly would be interested in this game, if you'd like to have me! You can shoot me a message here on roll20 or give me a holler at QDust#6925 on Discord, if you'd like to discuss more! Cheers
Dont mind if i do. 
I'd like to join too if possible.
Sending a message right away. 
Hey! Just wanted to ask if this is still going to happen...?
Yes it will, though we could use a final player, still a open spot on the listing. 
Hey there. People call me Gerry, i'm 19 and have around 2-3 years of experience with 5e, and i'm interested in what you're offering. If you want to shoot me a message, i go by Dragonspare#7057 on Discord, this sounds like a bunch of fun with the ultra-modern stuff and all! About characters idea, i have a vague idea of playing a scientist/engineer that could help making equipment for the team and test it out on the field (besides going on missions with them, of course).
Adding you on discord right away.
