[Alpha] Re-add the alien flavor text.

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Aliens should be able to set flavor texts and set poses. So the player who is playing said alien can either pre-set the text in flavor text, or set a current "pose" of what she si doing.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Aliens will be able to list there warscars and marines will gloat at getting the best war-torn alium

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Add the feature of marines that were able to set there flavor text and put it on aliens

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

I can't see a reason not to asides from the obvious snowflakery that you see anyways in marine flavor text.

I doubt the marines had the time to examine the alien flavor text... And.. Who the hell reads them anyways?

I make an appoint to read everyone's flavor text I see.
But I wouldn't care to review the Xeno's
80% of them would just be about how strong and fearsome they look and how they have a scar somewhere from an incident some time ago.

I don't think this would make sense for Aliens.

Humans at least have 20+ years of experience to build up a character profile for flavor text. Almost every single alien in the game was born within a few hours/days (depending on how long you think the average mission goes) and would not have enough time to accrue anything unique that's not some scars.

Also I find many flavour texts cringe worthy, but that's just me.

Oh, tell me about it.
I love the ones that talk about about their past as if you can literally see it.

My favourite classics are the one's that painfully try and explain how THIS guy/gal is different or unique.

In fact many of these text's are just trying to explain their life story. It should just be their physical appearance if at all.

I liked the one description that simply said 'A Marine'.

Xenos arent ment to be unique,they are ment to be mindless drones,most look the same sometimes.
And no one examines a xeno apart from knowing its health i belive

Denied. Aliens aren't unique.
