Mass Effect: Truth (OOC)

[Barakna]

Mass Effect: Truth



The Story:

The year is 2185 CE. Two years had passed since Commander Shepard and his team had repelled Saren and his Geth army from the Citadel.
The Commander had been killed in action a few months later by an unknown enemy attack. During a mission near Geth territory.

Something was causing turmoil in the Terminus systems. Several human colonies had disappeared without a trace. Other colonies, belonging
to Asari, Turian, Salarian, etc. had also been attacked. Though the inhabitants there had been mercilessly butchered.
Alliance and Citadel military had no jurisdiction in the Terminus Systems and could not afford causing an all out war between Council space and
the Terminus. If they were to enter lawless Terminus space with their fleets.
Not only that, but there were rumors of commander Shepards return from the dead. And his allegiance with Cerberus, a pro-humanity terrorist
orginization, whos most recent activities revovled in an attack on the Migrant Fleet.

To make matters worse in the Terminus Systems. A previously unknown mercenary group called "The Black Claw" had risen to power. And is causing
all sorts of trouble. No one knew anything about the Black Claw. Where they got their numbers and weapons from was also a mystery.
The three, previous, largest mercenary groups: The Blue Suns, The Blood Pack and The Eclipse were but a shadow compared to this new orginization.

The Black Claw had set up a small base upon Omega. The capital of the lawless Terminus. Where they, seemingly, handles most of their operations from.
As much as the oher mercenary groups disliked the newcomers. They dared not fight them. They were using advanced technology and their troops were
more disciplined than the other mercenaries. They fought almosth with military efficiency.

The Council could no longer afford sitting in the Citadel doing nothing. They commanded one of the highest ranking officers of the Citadel military
to form a secret group to handle troubles outside Citadel space. A group much resembling the Spectres in their work. The officer were to find
people who would be assets to the team and mission. He had free reins to choose womever he saw fit.

And thus "Aspects" were formed.


The Plot:

You are one of the few chosen to join the Aspects. You will either be chosen because you are invovled with the ongoings of the Terminus systems,
for your sense of justice or because you're an ass kicking genius. The RP will start out with you being the head of this group contacting
you and asking for your assistance in a secret mission.

The mission is to uncover the truth behind the events of ther Terminus systems. Why are colonies being either abducted or butchered. And where did this
new, and powerful, mercenary group come from.


The Leader:

The leader of the group will be played by both me and Sigma. He will not be the commander of the ship which the Aspects will serve on. That privilege
will be given to anyone interested in being the captain/commander of the ship. (If no one wants the post either I or Sigma will take it with our
characters)

The Captain/Commander will answer to the Leader. Give him mission updates and recieving orders on their next move.


General Rules:

1. First and foremost, follow all the site and forum rules. Obviously.

2. Sigma and I are gods. We were the first to discover the Citadel. We created the Reapers. What we say is law.

3. There is no minimum post length or literacy level. Try to keep your posts neat, but other than that, if we can all understand it, it should be ok.

4. The RP will have a max of 9 players. Therefor you're only allowed one character. You are, however, able to create NPC's for you and/or the rest of us to interact with.

5. Love and Romance is not required, but encouraged. Just keep it Pg-13.

6. If at any time you want to leave, just post the reason for leaving here, as well as how you would like the GMs to handle your characters' absense/death.

7. Last and most importantly, have fun!


Character:

Your characters race must be one of the Citadel Space species. (Human, Asari, Quarian, Salarian, Turian, Krogan, Drell, Volus, Elcor(Yes, even Volus and Elcor if anyone would like it) if you have a really good reason. You could also be a Batarian)

You will also have to choose one of the 6 classes:


Adept: Adepts are the ultimate biotic, able to affect the physical world with the power of the mind. Adepts are durable and powerful manipulators of mass effect fields; they can use biotics to violently manipulate objects in the environment, including nearby enemy targets. Adepts only wear light armor.

Soldier: Soldiers are tough individuals capable of using any type of armor and any type of weapon. They are combat specialists and are able to handle any situation.

Engineer: Engineers are tech specialists, able to quickly and easily manipulate the environment with specific talents, and repair or modify technical equipment. They are also capable hackers. Engineers can only use light armor.

Vanguard: Vanguards are a combination of Adepts and Soldiers. They are frontline warriors capable of utilizing most weapons and they have an array of biotic powers at their disposal. They usually wear medium armor.

Sentinel: Sentinels are a combination of Adepts and Engineers. They use their powers to support the team by controlling the battlefield. Disabling enemies and hacking drones. The sentinel uses light weapons and armor.

Infiltrator: Infiltrators are a combination of the Soldiers and the Engineers. These tech warriors excel at recon and fighting off enemies from a distance. They specialize in long distance weaponry and usually wears light armor. Though they can also use medium.


In addition. You can also choose a specialization class. They can fit together or be complete opposites of eachother (Example of two fitting together: Engineer and Machinist. Example of the opposite: Soldier and Agent):

Medic: Trained in all species physiology and healing.

Agent: Masters of reconnaissance and gathering information.

Machinist: Understanding of ships, mechs and synthetics.

Scientist: Understanding of electronics and medicine.

Commando: Trained in using lethal efficiency and precision strikes rather than brute force to take out an enemy.

Shock Trooper: Highly trained killing machines, Shock Troopers excel in all combat situations.

Operative: Operatives are masters at manipulating their environment to maximum advantage.

Battle Master (Krogan only): Tough, disciplined, well-armed, and biotically gifted. Battle Masters regard killing as a science and focus on developing economy of motion which allow them to maximise the advantage gained from their incredible strength in battle.

Ability wise. You can use the abilities in game and make some up. As long as they aren't ungodly powerful ofcourse.

[StormWolf]

I'll be playing for sure! Expect a human soldier tonight.

Question: can characters have genetic/mechanical enhancements like Miranda? I was planning on having my character be a veteran with some bionic replacments for lost limbs.

On another note, I would like to submit my application to be the Commanding officer of this crucial mission.

[Barakna]

That's allowed. Can't see why not. Eager to see your character Storm!

[Atrum Daemon]

I'll be having a character up shortly as well.

[Ushima]

Name: Zach Smith

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Class: Vanguard
Specialization: Shocktrooper

Strengths/Abilities:

Charge
Shockwave
Warp
Throw
Barrier

Personality: Paul is a very defensive soldier with slight anger issues. He doesn't like someone messing with his allies. It is born from his years of service. On the battlefield he is a calculating stone-cold killer. Despite his anger problems he is able to keep it in check and follow orders. Fighting is the perfect outlet for him.

Bio: Paul was born on the colonies. Grew up in a nice family, good education. Too boring for him. Being a biotic he quickly put his skills to work in the millitary. He was quickly received promotions and status. He isn't the most famous figure in the millitary, but he isn't one you'd forget if you met him.

About a year after the incident at the citadel he left the military, honorable discharge. He became a mercenary and is often working with a group of Krogan. It wasn't easy for him to get the Krogan to let him work with them, and he has a scar through his eyes to prove it.

Appearance: Zach has the standard millitary buzzed hair cut. Brown hair and red eyes. He has scar lines vertical through both eyes, due to a battle with a Krogan battlemaster and is lucky to be alive. He has a barcode tattoo on his neck and tripple sevens above his right eyebrow. His armor is solid black with a red stripe down his arms and his millitary serial number in white down his right leg. A red x on the back.

[Cleopatra]

I'd like to preserve a spot, if possible. I'll try to have my character up by tonight.

[Atrum Daemon]

Username: Atrum Daemon

Name of Character: Kane Gauss

Race: Human (or cyborg at this point if you wanna get really technical)

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Class: Soldier
specialization: Commando

Strengths/Abilities:
Kane’s cybernetics give him enhanced strength and endurance and allow his body to take much more punishment than a normal human.
Incendiary Ammo
Cryo Ammo
Disruptor Ammo
Overkill
Concussive Shot

Personality: Kane is cool-headed, analytical, and ruthless. Along with those traits, he is also generally cheery-minded and surprisingly approachable, though getting his trust is a near impossible feat.

Bio: Kane was born on a human colony world, but spent his childhood growing up on various ships as his family moved around. For most of his adult life, Kane served in the Alliance military. His faithful service was rewarded with numerous battle wounds that resulted in about fifty percent of his body being replaced and augmented with cybernetics (Examples: All his limbs, left eye, a few organs plus cyber-plating on his torso, etc). Once his service was complete, Kane found that the only good work for him was the mercenary business, where he built a strong reputation as a soldier-for-hire available for any job no matter how dirty.

Appearance: http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm213/Daemon_010/BB.jpg
The eye patch is part of his prosthetic eye that also serves as a precision laser when needed.

Gear:
M-15 Vindicator Assault Rifle
X-98e Widow Anti-Material Rifle
M-6 Carniflex Hand Cannon

If I need to change/add anything, don't hesitate to tell me.

[Lord Tully]

I'd like to reserve a spot, if that's OK.

[Barakna]

Sports reserved. I'll look over the current characters when I wake up later. But it's 1.am in Denmark riht now and I'm going to bed :3

If you ave any questions. Fling em at Sigma! He can take it!

[Gsarge]

Username:Gsarge

Name of Character:Soldonus Tarn [But friends can call him Sol, it's easier to remember when you're being shot at.]

Race:Turian

Gender:Male

Age:25 [they never talk about Turian aging rates so I'm assuming human.]

Class:Infiltrator
specialization:Medic

Strengths/Abilities: Assassination, Overload, Sabotage, First Aid

Personality:Soldonus is far too laid back as far as Turians are concerned which means he fits in swimmingly around the lawless sectors of space. He's a man of business but also outgoing towards anyone he feels he can trust. Sadly, he doesn't feel like he can trust that many people.

Bio:The youngest of a large number of siblings, Sol did everything he could to stand out from the crowd, a very un-Turian trait, and it usually just ended up getting him into trouble with everyone. Once into young adulthood, he joined the much less glorious, but much more stimulating, reconnaissance corps, for the Turian military where he filled the role as the squad medic. After a few years of service he was discharged for assaulting an officer and ended up in the Terminus Systems as a free-lancer and bounty hunter.

Appearance: Pretty normal-looking Turian, the disgrace of being dishonorably discharged means he can't wear face paint modeled after his home insignia so he wears red face paint in a design of his own creation made up of three lines along his cheeks and a crude Greek Alpha on his forehead. As far as armor goes it's military-grade but he's modified it so he doesn't stand out too much from any other Turian tough. However his sniper and assault rifles are custom made for him and so don't seem to match any known make or producer. Though on very close inspection, it can be identified as being made using human production techniques.

[StormWolf]

Character sheet:
Username: Stormwolf

Name of Character: Commander Nathaniel Wolfe

Race: Human (enhanced)

Gender: male

Age: somewhere around 30

Class: Soldier
specialization: Commando

Strengths/Abilities: has enhanced strength, reflexes, durability, and survivability due to his various biotic implants and genetic enhancments.
Incendiary ammo
Cryo Ammo
Concussive Shot
Disruptor Ammo
Incendiary Grenade
Hardened Adrenaline Rush
Charismatic Leadership
Intimidation
Adept in psychology and torture
Lung filter that allows him to extract enough oxygen and nitrogen from slightly toxic air.

Personality: Nathaniel Wolfe was never an easy person to read. He is ruthlessly determined, willing to get the job done, even if it meant sacrificing his own life. Holding little self-worth, Nathan makes a near-perfect soldier; putting his team, his mission, and the rest of the greater good before himself. Nathan has a hardened and remorseless sense of justice, his superiors saying that he usually does the right thing, but doing it in the wrong way. Very cynnical towards issues of government and religeon.

Bio: Born and raised on a backwater planet with harsh conditions and ruthless indiginous wildlife, Nathan grew up knowing how to use a knife and a wide array of guns. The planet was besieged by batarian and vorchan raiders. Those who were not killed were taken as slaves for sale or worse.

Nathan was fifteen at the time. He was able to elude and outsmart the raiders for the better part of three months, but he couldn't keep running forever. He got caught. In slavery, Nathan learned the harder and darker side of life, as well as getting some sense of selflessness drilled into him by rod and lash.

When Nathan was eighteen, an Alliance patrol picked him up after boarding the slaver ship and killed the raiders. Nathan wished to sign up immediately in the Alliance Military.

From then on, Nathan devoted himself fully to what was now his job, becoming a decorated hero of the Skyllian Blitz, even if he is surrounded by controvercy on his actions that lead to victory. Wolfe was a candidate for becoming a Spectre, but the position was given to Shapherd due to his less-bloody record and more-agreeable attitude.

In the battle of the Citadel, Nathan suffered several severe injuries. His spine was severed due to being thrown into a wall by an explosion that also took his eyes, right arm, and left leg. He also suffered great deal of trauma and fractures to his skull. The splintering done to his bones by the wreckage caused many organs to become lacerated, the most severe was his heart. From time to time, he still has small fits in his chest, leaving him short of breath and lightheaded. Thankfully, this is a side-effect of his adreanaline boosts, and so these fits do not (usually) happen in combat.

The Alliance and the Citadel chipped in enough credits to have Nathan repaired with the best doctors and tools credits can buy. Now returning to Active Duty, Commander Wolfe has been given charge of this crucial mission. To further improve his combat effectiveness, Nathan was subject to intense genetic alteration and therapy, making him something more than human.

Stands around 6'6"

Commander Wolfe's new eyes, being completely cybernetic, have false lenses that resemble his old eyes. A faint red glow shines through his pupils, but when in a combat situation, times of extreme stress, and in the dark, the glow is easily seen. He has a scar the stretches from his right temple to his chin, lights from his mechanically rebuilt skull can be seen through the scar when in the dark. Also has a scar that splits his right eyebrow and another on his jaw that stretches to his cheek. The scar on the right side of his face is the deepest.

He also has many scars on his back and chest from being a slave. More scars are on his arms and legs due to various surgeries, the most recent being his reconstruction.

Commander Wolfe wears a Titan IV class battle amror with a urban (black and grey) camoflauge pattern on the thick armor plates. The armor is customized and syncronized with his body to optimize performance. He has increaced capacity medi-gel canisters as well as a prototype hardened shell on the armor. There is also a shield amplifier built into the suit and adrenal amplifiers. The built-in servo-motors in his suit increses his performance as well.

Wargear:
Custom Titan IV armor

[Lord Tully]

Tell me if I've gotten anything wrong.
Username:Sir Hatless

Name of Character: Rana

Race: Asari

Gender: Female? (Aren't Asari sort of their own gender?)

Age: 242

Class: Vanguard
specialization: Shock Trooper

Strengths/Abilities: Warp, Throw, Lift, Carnage

Personality: Slightly unpredictable, Rana is the type who can be fairly cheery and smiley one day (Or at least as cheery as someone who shots people in the face for a living can be), but try and launch you into the upper atmosphere the next. But it's very easy to tell her mood most of the time, so most people who know her know when to stay out of her way.

Bio: Rana was born in a small city on an Asari colony planet, but quickly got the attention of the Turian military when she started to exhibit extraordinary biotic powers. She was trained as a warrior by strict Turian drill sergeants and Asari biotics and was often tested by being dropped in live fire zone with nothing but a pistol and her biotics for defence. Time and time again she impressed her teachers and eventually broke free from all the rules of military life and became a mercenary.

Appearance: Rana is like most Asari, she has dark blue skin color and facial markings that run in long straight lines from the edges of her face to the back of her head. She also has two lines that go down from her eyebrow level, going over her eye lids down ("All the way down" she claims, but that's mostly just a rumor to make young Human Ensigns she meets blush [it's quite funny], in reality they stop just below her collar bone)

[Atrum Daemon]

Due to being distracted while typing up my CS, I've just had to add in a couple details I forgot.

((have to finish, but I will have it done later tom. almost done, just have to look up a few details and the such.))

Username:Spirits Breath

Name of Character: Krypt Alandmir

Race: Krogan

Gender: Male

Age: 776

Class: Vanguard

specialization: Krogan Battlemaster

Strengths/Abilities: Shockwave, barrier, lift, push, and some cryo ammunitions.

Personality: Keeps an eye out for himself, above his group. Holds a high regard for his people, looking down on weaker beings. Slightly-selfish, and blunt.

Bio: Young survivor of the genophage, he was put through a rite of passage as a child, surviving his time with the thrasher maw as his initiation to being a man. His company lead him to other homeworlds as they invaded for a colony for food and population. He was later brought onto the citadel for some resuply, make a couple of bucks and leave. Only the money was good.
He worked as a bouncer for some time, only having to take it outside a few times. others left when he stepped up to them and told them to back away. After, some man came up to him, somehow his little group decided to take him in. It wasn't until he caught word of mouth that it was Zach Smith , a former soldier in the military. Meaning he could look out for himself.

Appearance:http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/mass-effect/urdnot-wrex.jpg ((wish i could find a good picture that wasn't wrex. ))

Other: Keeps a dead grenade, diffused and unable to detonate, with him. A grenade that almost killed him, but he keeps as a reminder.

[StormWolf]

we need to have at least one quarian!

[Lord Tully]

Yes we do, also I'd like to ask, this won't have any events from ME2 right? Cause I haven't played it, and I have neither the time nor the money to do so.

[StormWolf]

by the sound of it, no. we are not doing any plot spoilers. more like a Mass Effect meets The Kingdom thing. Sci fi anti terrorism. GM's correct me if i am wrong.

[Cheshire]

I'd totally be into this, but I haven't played 2 yet, so I'm sure I'd just fail and have everyone laugh at me for my lack of lore knowledge xD

[Ushima]

by the sound of it, no. we are not doing any plot spoilers. more like a Mass Effect meets The Kingdom thing. Sci fi anti terrorism. GM's correct me if i am wrong.

thats the feeling i got when reading the plot

[StormWolf]

did i mention that we needed a Quarian?

*looks to Cheshire*

[Atrum Daemon]

Yea. What he said.

[Lord Tully]

I haven't played it either Cheshire, but they tell me there won't be much ME2 stuff that you need to know.

[StormWolf]

Yea. What he said.

great minds think alike

[Sigma]

by the sound of it, no. we are not doing any plot spoilers. more like a Mass Effect meets The Kingdom thing. Sci fi anti terrorism. GM's correct me if i am wrong.

You know. that didn't really crossed my mind. but Now that you say it. it is sorta like that.

[StormWolf]

yay! I'm perceptive! I am so stoked for this!!!

[Stream]

I may join if I'm able to make a character out of the loop of combat hardened soldiers that have already filled up that niche. Say, for example, is it possible for me to make an extremely charismatic Turian male with ties all over the galaxy, from The Citadel to The Migrant Fleet?

I'd rather not be a combat type character, honestly. I'd rather just give him proficiency in tech abilities and a silver tongue.

He'll be based off this guy. (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Lorik_Qui%27in)

[Greatak]

Username: Greatak

Name of Character: Captain Marlo'Xen vas Destiny's Shadow

Race: Quarian

Gender: Male

Age: Human-scale aging was suggested, 24 or so, though I wonder how they keep time.

Class: Infiltrator
Specialization: Scientist

Strengths/Abilities: Overload, Incendiary Ammo, Hacking, Tac-Cloak

Personality: Quite opposed to the quarian norm, Marlo is at home in isolation. He doesn't dislike crowds, but would chose seclusion in most cases. His mind works on a level a few steps ahead of most individuals and his broken speech can demonstrate this. He is easily bored if he's not actively doing something, and generally, that involves his research. In a fight, he'll stay back as far as he can, dissecting the battlefield like a surgeon, and regarding the whole endeavor similar to how a surgeon regards lost patients, with remorse, but acceptance.

Bio: A scientific prodigy from a young age, this was recognized and he was cultivated as best the Flotilla could manage. He showed little interest in the traditional quarian trades as an engineer, but his aptitude in the fields of biology and physics astounded any instructor they managed to find for him. When time came for his pilgrimage, he was left on a turian mining colony, quite a bit younger than the usual quarian on Pilgrimage. He quickly picked up how life in the galaxy beyond the Flotilla worked and spent years away, he was assumed dead before he returned. His gift was a luxury yacht, though he did not present it to any captain. He requested an immediate audience with the Admiralty upon his return and there he filled them in on his adventures since his departures, including the state of affairs aboard the ship he'd brought. He'd been doing medical research for a salarian company and with the help of the results from that, made it his life's work to find a solution to the quarian immuno-deficiencies. After that meeting, his ship was given special classification and became Marlo's private vessel for his research. He is permitted to complete his work in peace, and the Admiralty has a useful testing ground for any medical research of interest to the Flotilla.

Appearance: Well, I'm pretty lazy, and since I'm a quarian, I get to skip the facial features part, score! I'll have a picture soon, he's of average build for a quarian, though wears a considerable amount of clothing over his suit.

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/035/2/7/Marlo__Xen__Quarian_Doctor_by_Greatak.jpg

Other: I'll probably retcon this as I get better ideas for a backstory, it won't change the circumstances of his existence though. He's definitely got his own ship for research, and is sort of a loner.

Oh ya... If anyone's got plans for a salarian, please contact me, I've got an idea I'd like to pitch.

[Sigma]

To Stream: sure thing, we could use that type of character. go ahead.

And awesome. looks like we got our Quarian!

[Greatak]

Stream, what if your guy was a salarian instead? So my plans for a super salarian could be realized, and it'd make plenty of sense if you weren't interested in combat, and had a vast network of contacts. I'll forward some of this to you, so it's not as cryptic, I suppose I'll fill the brass in if you accept.

[StormWolf]

Yay space russians!!!
how is the gender balance?

[Cleopatra]

I've actually made a female quarian, so that solves that problem lol


Username: Cleopatra VIII

Name of Character: Ulyya’nah vas Temara

Race: Quarian

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Class: Sentinal

Specialization: Machinist

Strengths/Abilities: Ulyya is very good at hacking and creating computer programs, and has attempted to create weapons with auto fire capacities and the like, though some are called superfluous. However, she has been trying, along with her family, to create a robotic battle suit not unlike the human version of a tank, although much improved on the design.

Personality: Ulyya is a brilliant, albeit absentminded person. She’s quite friendly around those who gain her trust, but very reserved around those she doesn’t know well. She takes orders wonderfully, always obeying to the letter, unless something goes wrong, in which case she tries to keep to the orders as much as she can. Being somewhat reclusive, she tends to appear almost anti-social at times, and awkward in conversation with those who are not of her race. However, she is extremely loyal and the crew can count on her to do her duty at all times.

Bio: Ulyya comes from a long line of influential members of the flotilla. Her father’s side of the family has always had a member in a leadership position of some kind, and her mother’s side of the family prides itself on being one of the only families with a modern ship, the funds for which they all earned by doing odd jobs. Some of these were less reputable. However, Ulyya’s mother died when she was young, and when her father remarried, he was allowed to have one more child, a son, and so the expectation of success is eased a bit on her.

Her pilgrimage began a little sooner than most, as she felt it was time to go what with the new step-mother and half brother around. But it also ended sooner, as she was able to bring back a large amount of resources to the Flotilla, in thanks for her help in rescuing an influential Asari Matriarch. When asked about the details, she only says “It’s a long and complicated story,” and leaves it at that. With this gift, she could have joined any ship in the fleet that she wanted, but shortly after joining one of the more prestigious ships, began taking on odd jobs with mercenary and military groups as a machinist and engineer, from which her reputation grew.

Appearance: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3999365759_f6fef9cba3.jpg

Other: Although her skills in biotics and engineering abilities, she usually only uses these when her pistol isn’t sufficient to do the job. She prefers to prove herself through her own physical prowess rather than be thought of as strong simply because of her abilities.

Weapons: Pistol and shotgun, however good she can get them.
Armor: Basic Quarian armor, light but effective.

[Stream]

Two Quarians, and one mechanical expert! Neat!

My character has someone he keeps close to him for certain things. Is it possible to bring the supportive Salarian on board, but keep him as a smaller supporting character?

[Gsarge]

It is talked about that you can interact with NPC's so I think he would fall under that umbrella.

[Stream]

Well, I would be controlling him, but he'd be...

He's tying into one of the unique factors about my character and into his past, as ell as being the counter balance to his personality.

"4. The RP will have a max of 9 players. Therefor you're only allowed one character. You are, however, able to create NPC's for you and/or the rest of us to interact with."

Stream, I think he is covered by this. He's an NPC that's important to your character's background. Whether he's well thought out and made almost like a PC doesn't make him any more or less an NPC unless you end up rping more as him than the character to set to be your PC.

[Stream]

Gotcha.

It was just a bit weird; I was going to treat him as a PC but he would be classified under NPC. Ah well, no matter. Expect my sheet tomorrow.

[Gsarge]

Well then you'd have to find someone willing to play the character for you if you want him to be a PC that you have no control over.

[Stream]

No, it's fine; he can basically be our Mordin but I will have a strong preexisting relationship with him, and I'll get what I need from him. This is not sexual in any way, I assure you.

[Gsarge]

Wha? ... ... ... Gay Turian on Salarian action? Why would any of us have thought that until you brought up the "no homo"? I mean I get this is Bioware we're talking about but... really? I just figured relationship=platonic friendship.

[Stream]

Everyone could take it a different way, just being sure everyone takes it the correct way.

[Cleopatra]

:XD: Great, Stream. Now I have strange images in my head. Thank you.

[Gsarge]

Nice to know you have such little faith in the maturity level of the other players.

[Stream]

It's what I do. What's even more weird is, Salarians lay eggs and Turians are dextro-amino creatures.

Picture that.

Now picture Garrus and Mordin.

Edit: I think this comment is response enough to your own, Gsarge.

[Ushima]

oh gee thanks dude. thats the last thing we all need

[Cleopatra]

Excuse me while I go be violently ill.

[StormWolf]

good thing I have a built in Stream filter. I am completely oblivious and immune to the recent images.

[Cleopatra]

You lucky punk.

[Gsarge]

If I'm lucky, I should have one after this rp with him.

[Cleopatra]

Me too. I really need one now.

Ugh... If only I could wash my mind...

[Gsarge]

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd319/mailcmw/getalookatthis/cwglt080607-delete-cookies.jpg

[Cleopatra]

LOL That's hilarious.

[StormWolf]

anyways.... so... ship name!

GM's, do I choose a ship name or do you guys choose one? I am also willing to have an open discussion over the name of our ship. And what model? Will it be a SV like the Normandy? Or a different kind of ship?

[Cleopatra]

I don't have any particular idea for a name, so you guys can pick it.

[StormWolf]

these were the names I had so far:
Paragon
Gettysberg
Thunderhawk
Apollo
Crusader
Guardian
Sword
Utah
Serenity (couldn't resist a trubute)

any takers/ suggestions? again, I am assuming that the ship is un-named and I must name it, being the Commander. I don't want to name the ship something I thought was shiny but no one else did. If the GM's have a name in mind, feel free to shut me up.

[Cleopatra]

If I had to take any of those, I would take the Guardian, or the Crusader, maybe the Crusader more because they're going into enemy territory like the Crusaders did.

[Sigma]

Cusader is a pretty good name for the situation. we'll discuss over the class though. we'll probably use something not of mass effect or something.

[MidKnight]

Anybody playing Krogan?

[StormWolf]

Cusader is a pretty good name for the situation. we'll discuss over the class though. we'll probably use something not of mass effect or something.

do you have anything specific in mind? I don't have anything else to do atm other than work on one of my upcoming Sci Fi's. need me to do some image hunting?

@ Hell Knight: Yes, we have one Krogan.

[Sigma]

Well I haven't thought of it yet. so go ahead if you want to.

[StormWolf]

here was one i thought could work
The first page only. (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Tau/Manta/mantap7.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/40kmanta2.htm&usg=__x_VOlhYx-b6upQC2uoZ5_Cthxvc=&h=504&w=650&sz=28&hl=en&start=32&sig2=NHdxZyOk21-jofCvBTHnmg&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=o24d0Wd_7Gc0pM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtau%2Bmanta%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26s afe%3Doff%26rlz%3D1T4ADFA_enUS351US351%26sa%3DN%26 start%3D21%26um%3D1&ei=PnZqS4ikFYuJnQe85c2LBg)

[Sigma]

I think it's good. but I'll have to come to agreement with Barakna first.

[Barakna]

I've read all the characters so far and I'm McDonald'ing em.

Regarding the ship. I've already got a name for it. (expect pun) Though we're not sure what type of ship it should be. We're thinking some experiment vessel made in a conjuncion between the various races of the citadel.

Though I do believe it should be of the Frigate class. Small and fast.

I'll have my own character, and the Leader, up later today.

EDIT: I kinda like the looks of that ship, mate :3

Edit Edit: I'm also really happy, and surprised, by the number of players who actually want to be human. I thought most would be like "Aliens WOO!" Also glad to see so many interested in the RP <3

Edit Edit EDIT: I'm forgetting things lol. Regarding the time of the story. It's actually the same time as the start of ME2 (the return of Commander Shepard) but the only similarities are that we'll visit many of the planets from the game. We'll have little to no interaction with the main story of ME2. Subtle hints here and there. But nothing to give away the plot/story for those who haven't played it yet.

[MidKnight]

@Stormwolf: Need another?

[StormWolf]

Why have one nuke when you can have two? It's up to you and the GM's. I may be the commanding officer, but Baranka and Sigma are the gods here.

[Barakna]

My name haven't been miss-spelled as "Baranka" since the previous forum so long ago. *feeling nostalgic*

Anyhow. Hell Knight. If you want to join then we'll say that the RP is officially full. All the people who have posted their profiles, and those whom is about to. Are in. So we should have a total around 9-10. Including Sigma and myself.

If all goes well, we should be able to get this going sometime this evening (Danish time C: )

EDIT: Added the current charactes to the front page. Seems like we could use a couple more female characters. That said. We don't have any Drell or Salarians (Not because we need them. Just if anyone would be interested)

I'll probably go as a female of some sort. To balance it a bit. The rest of you (Who haven't created their characters yet) can go with whatever they want.

[Lord Tully]

It's what I do. What's even more weird is, Salarians lay eggs and Turians are dextro-amino creatures.

Picture that.

Now picture Garrus and Mordin.

Edit: I think this comment is response enough to your own, Gsarge.

I think you just made my brain explode. What a lovely conversation to read first thing in the morning.

[Barakna]

Could be worse. What if it was a Krogan and a Salarian?

I wonder if those Salarians and their frail bodies could handle such "stress"

[Lord Tully]

Gaghenbagbuaufjl;hf ::Sound of me projectile vomiting while my mind shatters:: WTF Barakna? What is this a Japanese fetish thread?

[Cleopatra]

And you people wonder why there are no girls in this RP. :XD:

[Stream]

Our ship name shall be the USS Colbert!!

[Cleopatra]

Why Colbert?

[Lord Tully]

Our ship name shall be the USS Colbert!!

I'd vote for Crusader myself, or at least something that sounds more threatening the Colbert. Before I say that show I thought Colbert was a kind of cheese.

[Stream]

Stephen Colbert is the epitome of a true Amurkan.

[Cleopatra]

Yeeeeaaaahhh, I still want Crusader.

[Lord Tully]

What the hell is an Amurkan? Either way it still doesn't sound threatening, I mean imagine you see a ship chaging at you, what sounds cooler The Colbert or something like, "The Deathhawk," well?

[Barakna]

You can find a naughty magazine in the game with a Hanar on the cover. *cough* tentacles *cough* *cough*

[Cleopatra]

Yeah, I heard about that too.

And the Asari... *shudder*

[Lord Tully]

You can find a naughty magazine in the game with a Hanar on the cover. *cough* tentacles *cough* *cough*

::More projectice vomiting:: Why Bioware, WHY!?!?!?!

[Cleopatra]

It's a bit... disturbing. But highly amusing.

[Lord Tully]

Well moving quickly on, when are we starting the IC? I'd say we have enough players to make it work.

[Atrum Daemon]

I vote we take a step backward a moment and ponder the possibility of a five-some featuring a Salarian, an Asari, a Krogan, an Elchor, and a Hanar.

Yea, you'll be thinkin of that when you try to sleep at night. I guarantee it.

Why bring this up? It amuses me.

[Stream]

Username: Stream

Name of Character: Quintinus Caligulus, usually called "Q".

Race: Turian

Gender: Male

Age: Actual age is 39, though he appears to be near his seventies based on Turian aging.

Class: Infiltrator
specialization: Agent

Strengths/Abilities:

Silver tongue, determination, deceiving, tactician, intimidation, and his connections.

Beyond that he is adept with the use of a pistol and with AI Hacking.

Personality: Somewhat socially outgoing but emotionally and mentally reserved. Doesn't mind flaunting his intelligence over other people, or his credits.

Bio: Originally grew up Palaven, He took an administration job mostly sorting licenses and permits, enough to help put him in a place of opportunity and interest among several mercenary groups and criminal organizations. Not one to turn down a few thousand credits to "misplace" licenses, his first contacts were made through the Palaven hierarchy, the Blue Suns, and the Migrant Fleet.

Once of age Quintinus travelled to the Citadel to pursue a job as a C-Sec Agent, though really only wanted to abuse his position even further for wealth, influence, and connections. From here he made connections wit the Shadow Broker and countless small-time criminals, cementing his status as a high-value target. After a botched assassination attempt from an unknown group, he fled away to the Terminus system, able to use his wealth and connections to successfully build a safe environment for a cretin.

Appearance: With small light blue markings along his jaw. (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/f/f8/Lililarge.JPG)

Other: Is a dextro-amino creature, and is drugged with a rapid aging agent.

[Lord Tully]

I vote we take a step backward a moment and ponder the possibility of a five-some featuring a Salarian, an Asari, a Krogan, an Elchor, and a Hanar.

Yea, you'll be thinkin of that when you try to sleep at night. I guarantee it.

Why bring this up? It amuses me.

Sweet Jesus, and exactly how much time did you take thinking about that?

[Atrum Daemon]

Too much to be considered healthy, hatless.

[Lord Tully]

So any amount of time at all then?? {Joking} So really let's stop talking about that stuff and get one with the RP, now that Steam has posted we've reached maximum capacity and can start thinking about the IC.

[Atrum Daemon]

Agreed.

[Barakna]

I'm almost done with the Leader and my character. Still waiting for Sigma to approve of my idea on how we start the LC though.

Nice character Stream. It be approved. I'll add it to the list and expect my char up within an hour. Maybe two if I need to go out and get dinner...

[Stream]

I only put my character archetype to what it was because I didn't think of anything fitting for what I was going for with my character.

[Barakna]

Now for something so rare. Not even the Reapers can fathom it!
Turian Female!

Username: Barakna

Name of Character: Tiri Zindel

Race: Turian

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Class: Adept
specialization: Agent

Strengths/Abilities: Warp, Throw, Pull, Shockwave, Biotic Barrier, Stasis and Warp Ammo

Personality: Usually bright and cheery. Tiri is very easy-going and likes to play with words. Sarcasm is one of her favourite weapons to use when interacting with people.

Bio: Tiri was born on one of the Turian colonies. Galatana to be exact. It was discovered she had a large biotic potential at the age of eight and
was removed from her family to be raised as a Cabal. (Turian specialist teams)
Tiri was trained in the use of biotics. She was one of the most potential Turians to possess biotic powers in several centuries. Her superiors had high hopes for her when she would turn fifteen and enter turian boot camp. It was unusual for a Cabal to enter boot camp. Since they were generally mistrusted by the other soldiers. But the officers had plans for Tiri.

When she turned fifteen she entered boot camp as any other Turian lad or lass. The Cabal training had left her gloomy. She had less freedom than the average Turian soldier. The turians were a very disciplined race. But their people had many freedoms. As long as it didn't interfere with their duty. Even drug use was accepted.
Tiri didn't have such luxuries. Cabal training was harsh, even for Turian standards. Since a biotic whose unable to control his/her power could accedentially hurt another person without intending it. She could handle the harsh conditions. She had grown accustomed to them over the years. But when she entered boot camp she was shunned by all the other recruits. They would only work with her if given a direct order to do so.

After a years training, Tiri was asigned to a squard of soldiers lead by Captain Arctu Varen.
At first she was distrusted for being a Cabal. (Nothing new there) But after she had saved her squard from certain death by the hands of Batarian pirates. Tiri had earned the trust of her comrades.

Several years later, serving under Captain Varen. Tiri had become more optimistic and cheerful. She was trusted by her squard and leader. And she felt as an important part of the team rather than an outcast.


Appearance: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/Draachan/ME__Turian_Female_Concept_by_Terral.png
Tiri stand around 6'2. The clothes she is wearing is an experimental lightweight armor with increased kinetic shields.

Other: Tiri carries a M-3 Predator Heavy Hand Cannon. Which is standard use in the military.

------------------------------------------------------

Also, everyone. I'm going to have dinner at a mates house. When I get back I should have the Leader ready.

While I'm gone I'd like to hear your views on two ideas regarding how to start this RP. I'd like to know which one of the two options sounds the most interesting. If you have an idea yourself. Don't hesitate to share it!

Idea #1: Everyone will start with an introduction post. Stating their current asignment/duty/whatever. After all have posted. There will be a GM post where the Leader will visit everyone and telling each one to meet with him and "the others" at some <specified location> for further briefing.

This will give people the opportunity to present their characters and how they "work".

Idea #2: Everyone has recieved a message from the Leader. Telling them they were needed for a crucial mission and they were requested to show up at <specified location>.

This would leave everyone to start out meeting eachother. And then start with their first mission right after.

To infinity and beyond!

[Lord Tully]

I didn't know Turians had females in their military.
Edit* Oh and I vote for the first option

[Ushima]

i'm down for the first one

[Greatak]

First one gives everyone a chance to demonstrate their characters unhindered by the impending mission. I'll cast my lot in with the first option, as it forces us to all get in character without a set goal in mind yet.

Just wondering, I've got a ship in my possession, I was planning to leave it with the Flotilla under the charge of someone trustworthy, but if anyone's got better ideas for what to do with a luxury yacht turned bleeding edge laboratory with a plethora of deadly pathogens onboard, lemme know.

[StormWolf]

I vote on option 1

[Barakna]

Looks like people favour the first option. So I dare say we'll leave it at that.

@Sir Hatless: Regarding Turian females and the military: "Every citizen from age 15 to 30 serves the state in some capacity, as anything from a soldier to an administrator, from a construction engineer to a sanitation worker."

Also. I've posted the Leader on the first page. Not much information is given about him. Which could open up for a side mission. (If anyone wanted to find out more about this mysterious individual)

As a last note. I do believe we can start the RP now. Since everyone will make an "introduction" post before we're having our characters band together for the mission.

At the end of your post. There should be a note about someone approaching. How you want to phrase that is up to you.

[Yoruyonaka]

would you mind a female engineer?

[Barakna]

I'm sorry Yoru. We're currently full. If Hell Knight doesn't get a character up within a few days I'll let you take his spot. I'll send you a message if so. (Since HK is the only one who hasn't posted a char(Besides the Co-GM Sigma C: ))

On a side note. I'll go post the IC after I've found some grub. Kinda hungry here!

[Yoruyonaka]

its all good. Just wanted to try out this sort of RPG

[Greatak]

Okay, I've got a picture of Marlo.

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/035/2/7/Marlo__Xen__Quarian_Doctor_by_Greatak.jpg

I'll update my CS with it.

[Barakna]

I'm loving that picture mate !

Behold the IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?p=137716#post137716) !

I'll start working on my introduction. You can fling yours in whenever you have time. After all have posted their introduction. We'll have the GM post occur and then get on with the real show!

[Greatak]

Thank you. It took some effort to get just the right mix of doctor and badassitude as well as fold it all into the quarian dynamic. I took a bad picture, so it's distorted, but you get the idea. And that's a lab coat, not a trench coat.

Side note: Nihlus!

[Barakna]

I'm glad you noticed! Nihlus needs some love too <3

[spirits breath]

O got my character finished. hopefully it is suitable for you all. And bioware put the stuff in because they set it up in other games, the fan art, and it helps answer some questions people may have.

[Barakna]

Updated the front page with you characters name in it Spirit.

'Tis be late in Denmark. So I'll go to bed now. I'll get my introduction in sometime tomorrow. You guys can just post yours whenever! Looking forward to reading it all :3

[Barakna]

Got my post in now. And read everyones. I'm liking it so far!

Looking forward to seeing the rest of you post your introduction.

[spirits breath]

sorry everyone, but got a two day tournament, so i wont be able to get my introduction up until saturday or sunday. I will try to get one up, but not sure how much time I got for it.

[Barakna]

Take your time. We still need a bunch of people to post anyhow.

[Ushima]

good luck in your matches dude. win one for west

[Greatak]

Methinks I may have missed a superb opportunity with a hanar... Oh well. I'll probably never get the chance to say "This one forgets if it passed its heat sink capacity and wonders if the criminal scum is feeling fortunate?"

[Cleopatra]

Sorry my post was so short, but I always have a time getting things to start in the beginning.

[Greatak]

It's no shorter than mine. No need to apologize for keeping it to the point.

[Cleopatra]

lol I just couldn't think of a good thing to really kick it off with. I'll probably be able to write more when the RP really gets rolling.

[Stream]

Substance should come before length, and you had substance.

[Cleopatra]

Yaaaaaay.

[Stream]

My consideration;

everyone wants it.

[Cleopatra]

lol Maybe.

Perhaps.

Could be.

[Stream]

You probably just wanted consideration in general. My consideration is just a perk. Regardless, hopefully that blow to your skull won't have any adverse affects.

[Cleopatra]

lol Nah, it was just to further the plot. :P

[Stream]

Sorry, any *more* adverse affects. You're already mentally unstable in my book.

[Cleopatra]

XD I'm mentally unstable in a lot of people's books apparently.

[Greatak]

The steps some take for plot... I just threw some recombinant DNA cells at other cells... No cranial trauma, no risk of concussion. So much cleaner too. Imagine what the janitors went through after your little skirmish. All they had to do in my case is sanitize the petri dish... Blood from humans is hard enough to clean up, imagine mopping up the blood of at least 3 different species... And all those little bits of charred machine... *shudders*

[Stream]

Gotta say Greatak, I understood nothing of what your character was talking about. Are you premed or something?

[Greatak]

No... That looked premed? I didn't think it was that bad, quite tame for me actually.

[Cleopatra]

XD I had the best idea to make my character not like yours Greatek. Still tempted to use that when they meet up.

How big is your yacht/ship thing?

[Stream]

Aww. The two Quarians are going to hit it off so well.

[Greatak]

Umm... I left it inspecific cuz I have no idea. Apparently small enough to be effectively crewed by one and a VI. Big enough to have a lab the size of Mordin's space I think, and a genebank somewhere along with his private quarters which is probably a bedroom with a desk and a fridge.

[Cleopatra]

Really? I thought that having a luxury yacht would be able to house like 200-300 or so. Otherwise it'd be tiny for a ship.

[Greatak]

It was supposed to be small, no one wants to hang out with this crazy guy, so it can't be larger than he can handle himself... Though maybe it's bigger, I left it vague, intentionally.

Stream, I can tell you're burning to know what was going on...

Marlo collected some turian blood samples and extracted lymphocytes, b-type specifically, Lymphocytes are just immune system cells, b-type ones make antibodies to fight off stuff. In their natural state they are called naive, which means they don't know anything and fight everything once they notice it. B-cells specialize and learn how to sniff out and attack specific antigens (something bad) and that's part of why your immune system gets better with minor infections. He sequenced some DNA and mixed it with some analogous cells in the quarian system, trying to make quarian cells attack antigens instead of adapt to them as they're used to. Most pathogens on the quarian homeworld are apparently beneficial and their immune systems didn't evolve to attack things like human ones, a lack of insect life is noted for this. Anyway, he cultured a cell-line, which is just a sample that you let grow for awhile and then use those new cells for stuff, so you always have a backup. And was testing to see how the new cells would be treated in a sample of normal quarian blood. Since that went well, I picked a virus that I was familiar with, happens to be the generic form of what causes the common cold, and used that to see if the new cells were useful, which they were. Where we left off is the VI collecting samples from that culture to see if there were any unexpected mutations or whatever.

And to any doctors-to-be or whatever in the house, I apologize for the mockery of science I committed.

[Cleopatra]

lol I can't think it'd be a luxury ship then. But then again, I think way too much about these things, so you can just feel free to ignore me. XD

[Greatak]

Please... Think too much about an RP? You don't have any idea what thinking too much about an RP involves.

[Stream]

Now I sort of see why you wanted a scientist salarian I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian I'm quite good at genetics as a subset of Biology! Because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology) My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian. I am the very model of a scientist Salarian!

In all seriousness, now I see why you were interested in a Salarian. Quintinus will be dragging him along onto the ship, and you two can have special night studying Quarian and Turian immune systems together. I also plan on coming to you for advice and treatment on my rapid aging, if you respect doctor/patient confidentiality.

[Cleopatra]

Well I'm just thinking that if it's supposed to be a luxury yacht, then it should probably be a LOT bigger than one bedroom and one desk. Especially in space, I mean how far can such a small ship go? Not very I should think. Even the small ships on the game were a lot larger than what you're describing.

But I'm a real nit-picker about these things, so if you don't agree with that then you know, just blow me off, I'm fine with it lol

[Greatak]

Well, being a doctor, I'm sorta bound to it. But turians were notable for their protein similarities. Turians and quarians proteins are spun the opposite way than the rest of the galaxy, at least that we know of. It would be easier to mix their biologies than recode the genetic material to spin stuff the other direction, then tweak the quarian code. That should've been directly covered in the game, I don't remember if the function of quarian immune systems was, Tali mentions something about it, but I don't remember how specific she gets.

Well, a ship of the size I'm describing couldn't get very far. It would need the pull of a fleet to get anywhere. Stupid drive core volume to charge capacity. I don't know, if you'd like me to actually design the ship, I could. I might need to retcon in a few crew though.

Another side note: Typical conventions are to not capitalize species names. You wouldn't capitalize dolphin, so you don't capitalize asari. But then again, there's the nationality thing to consider, you do capitalize German even if human is lower case.

[Stream]

All I know is that Quarians and Turians both have dextro-amino acids that makes our tissue toxic to many other races, besides each other. Regardless of that, Quarians can't have anyone touching them anyways, because of aforementioned immune system.

Cleo, why are you so hellbent on a luxury yacht?

[Cleopatra]

That's what he said! I told you I was a nit-picker! T_T

[Cleopatra]

Stream cheated. XD

[Stream]

Why did you double post?

All we need is Spirit and Gsarge!

[Cleopatra]

Oh, you cheater! lol

[Stream]

It was good, admit it.

Again, why are you hell bent on a luxury yacht? He's a doctor damnit, not a soldier!

[Cleopatra]

I dunno, when someone says Luxury Yacht, you don't think one bedroom plus kitchen and bathroom! You think like mini cruise ship! I can't help that my mind works this way! XP

[Stream]

I would think a luxury yacht would be the equivalent of a luxury home on a ship. The way he describes it, it's a research vessel.

Then again, I would call having a yacht a luxury regardless.

[Greatak]

Quarians can have others touch them, they just need to take precautions, drugs and immuno-boosters. Though when they have to do suit repair or whatever, they can remove it then as well. They have immune systems, just poor ones, made worse by being in a nearly sterile environment most of the time.

And the dextro-amino acid thing means they're exactly opposite. The laymen's term for it is handedness, left or right handed molecules. Mass Effect deviates from real science as you can just metabolize the molecules all the same and use those components to make useful ones for you. The worst that might happen is that you fail to gain nutrients, as it may not fit into an enzyme. Perhaps the actual worst case is that it messes up the enzymes that try to mess with it and you trash your digestive system, but there's plenty of pathogens that can do the same thing. But people generally eat both sorts all the time. D-form acids are generally sweet while L-form acids tend to not have flavor. Spearmint for example contains the L and D forms of caravone, and that gives it a distinct flavor and smell, as the two forms of that compound react differently with the receptors. Spearmint gum rarely kills people.

And it's converted, clearly. Most ships don't have genebanks or cloning facilities... Like I said, if you want a schematic, let me know, I'll work something out, but then I expect my ship to be useful in the plot.

[Cleopatra]

Yeah, you sound like a pre-med student. XD

[Greatak]

Well, I suppose a thank you is in order, but I have a feeling if there were a pre-med student here, he'd be facepalming at my mockeries of science.

Side note, most of the space in smaller ships is taken up by the drive core, keep that in mind. I think you can use the relays without a drive core, but getting anywhere between them would be trouble, I'm sure. Since the charge they're capable of holding is dependent on how big the core is, and you need high-mass objects to drain the charge to, like a gas giant or something of that nature. If you can't hold a charge to get between those, you're probably out of luck.

[Stream]

I was exaggerating about not touching them, but they still get sick very easily from it, as evidenced to Tali getting a cold/sinus infection after her and Shepard's romance climaxes. That or her supplements and Shepard has some sort of intergalactic super STD.

Wait, what?

Edit: I can't really get on you as much as I want to, because I only know about anesthesiology.

[Cleopatra]

*facepalm*

I wouldn't be surprised though since he seems like the kind to go after aliens after all we've seen.

[Greatak]

Perhaps. Tali did get lucky though. If you recall, she says something about the norm being put down for a few days. Either way, Mass Effect's science falls apart under too much scrutiny, like the quantum communication system. I seriously thought it was a joke at first, but then I realized, they were serious.

Background, that system, if you could control the state that you put it in, would only ever be good for 1 bit, ever. It's kinda like you put two different colored marbles in a bag. If you pull out the red one, you know the blue one is the only one left. The idea that you can keep mixing the marbles around and somehow talk to someone with it doesn't make any sense.

Edit: What a coincidence, I know an anesthesiologist. He's in Antarctica right now.

[Stream]

What a coincidence, I've been to Antarctica.

[Greatak]

That's some crazy random happenstance right there... Assuming neither one of us is fabricating truth.

Cleo, did you want me to design the ship or what?

[Stream]

I'm not an anesthesiologist and I've only been to Antarctica on a freighter. Still, it's a bit odd.

[Cleopatra]

Antarctica. On a freighter. Yeah, I should imagine it's cold.

And Greatek... it really doesn't matter, I'm just thinking too much and it's annoying, so no, you don't have to unless you suddenly have the burning desire as a result of my picky-ness.

[Greatak]

Well, now I sorta want to. But it's on you to make sure it's plot-relevant now.

[Stream]

*Cough*

You all know in a few posts we're just going to be on the same ship, right?

[Cleopatra]

lol It was just a little idea that could come in handy eventually if it came up, not important. But since you seem to want to actually design it, why not.

And it was an idea for later in the game, Stream.

[Greatak]

I know we're gonna end up on the same ship... But a star-faring bioweapon platform seems like it could have significance.

[Cleopatra]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Stream]

Don't mind me, I'm just being a spoil-sport as usual. Trying to get in character for Q. I'm a method writer.

...

No, that doesn't mean I've taken up dealing blow.

[Cleopatra]

lol Always good to know.

[Greatak]

I avoid the issue by just always RPing as myself, wearing a different hat.

[Stream]

Hats? Sir, I have a very extensive collection of fancy and silly hats.

[Greatak]

Yes, but you suggested you RP as different characters. I was just stating that all my characters are more or less me, though they have quite the variation I think. Probably a sign of my impending psychotic breakdown.

[Cleopatra]

Or a sign that you have many different aspects of you like everyone else does, and you just capitalize on one of them at a time.

[Stream]

I always interject part of myself into my characters. Most commonly it's charisma.

[Greatak]

You flatter me too much, I'm not multi-faceted, just insane.

[Cleopatra]

As it says in Mass Effect, Madness and Genius are two sides of the same coin.

[Stream]

I once honestly doubted if you were a human with emotion, Greatak. Only until I realized you played video games did I realize you had a desire to be a human being.

[Greatak]

The former is the effect I go for. Though games are generally just an excuse to think about something new, or in a different way. It's all in the pursuit of knowledge, I assure you.

EDIT: A buddy and I are working on the ship design currently and making up a bunch of Mass Effect universe ship concerns, scaling of technology, rough size estimates, maneuverability, probable tactics and limitations, etc. Looks like the Destiny's Shadow is going to be about 2/3 the size of the SR1 and with a drive core like 300 times smaller. Based on our extremely rough calculations, that should still work. Bioware oughta give us more numbers to play with, scaling size based on crew count seems like a bad idea.

[Barakna]

Looks like Sir Hatless got banned for a month.

We'll throw his character to the Lions and let there be an open spot for whomever might want to join. I'm moving right now so I'll go offline for a few hours. I'll make an upate when I return.

[Gsarge]

Oh snap! And yes I'm working on my post.

[Barakna]

Now that was bloody strenuous.

Well, now I've moved. And ready to deal with any "real life" issues again.

Also Greatak. Looking forward to seeing your ship design C:

[Cleopatra]

lol Nice Greatek. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[katosu]

Wouldn't mind playing an Engineer, but I'm not sure I could pull off the technical jargon that great characters like Tali have. Any thoughts?

Edit-In: Quarians seem to make the most sense on that one, but I had a thought cross my mind. His parents could be one of the ones exiled from the Frotilla. It's said in ME2 that, children of those who are exiled are welcomed back onto the Flotilla, so I could use that as part of a backstory/buildup. Could also use the aspect of the Pilgrimage, since that's why most of 'em are off the Flotilla.

[Barakna]

Sounds like a nifty idea Katosu. Looking forward to seeing your character.

Hmm.. Just noticed we've lost out only Asari when Hatless got banned. Cricket.

[Greatak]

I can't pull off the technical jargon either, but that didn't stop me from playing a doctor and looking the part. However, I'd be tempted to say, all quarians are engineers. If I were you, I'd pick a species with skillset different than the stereotype. After all, a race full of fighters isn't very useful if no one knows how to make weapons or find food. A salarian engineer would make enough sense, as they're technologically inclined, though I may just be saying that because I want a salarian on the team. If we didn't have enough warriors already, I would suggest an elcor, just load you up with armor and let you march down the killing field, but we've enough soldiers already. I'm a doctor, Ulyya is a machinist, the mystic role I don't think has been filled; someone with ridiculous biotic power and some sort of detached philosophy. "I'm doing this to maintain the balance of the universe" mentality or something. But of course, we could always use another engineer, perhaps talk to Cleo and find out just how her character is specialized, machines or hacking and pick the opposite? Or do whatever suits your fancy, we'll pick up the slack somehow, I'm sure.

[katosu]

Yea, I'm trying to look up information on Quarians, but am meeting some... difficulty, finding their average lifespan. I've gotten mixed results. -_-

Asari are awesome, though the fact that it's a female-only race makes it hard to play out.

Edit-In: Damn, thought I had read through the profiles to avoid that. I was only looking at the classes, though.

[Greatak]

Quarians are suggested to have evolved convergently with humans, as they're pretty much mammals. We can assume similar lifespans for humans, quarians, volus and turians. Elcor are probably a little longer, maybe double human lifespan, as they've got a slower moving society and so probably a less active metabolism, allowing for longer lives. Krogan and asari have also been suggested to have similar lifespans at about a millennium, with krogan falling a little short of asari. Nothing solid has been offered for drell or hanar, though drell are probably around human lifespans, or just under, based on reptilian life cycles.

Any other concerns?

[katosu]

Hah. You're pretty helpful, but now you've got me trying to come up with a unique character, which will take a bit more time.

I'd play Asari Scientist, but the female-only thing is an intimidation. Salarian Engineer sounds interesting, too.

Edit-In: Issue with Asari Scientist is that it strikes me too much as being like Liara.

[Greatak]

Either would work, though we do have quite the male bias and salarian females may be easier to play, as they're not quite traditionally female, but they also don't leave salarian space very often, being too busy running things back home. They hold considerable power, but make up 10% of the total population.

Also, here's the rough work up of the Shadow.

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/037/1/b/Destiny__s_Shadow_by_Greatak.jpg

I took luxury yacht to mean it was designed for comfortably cruising the stars, as opposed to a racing yacht or something. All the windows are to provide panoramic views of space as you travel to your next destination, the original owner was quite the romantic when it came to space travel. Many of the windows have since been plated over internally. Middle box thing has the bridge on top, with the crazy shaped window, and Marlo's quarters are below that.

[katosu]

Either would work, though we do have quite the male bias and salarian females may be easier to play, as they're not quite traditionally female, but they also don't leave salarian space very often, being too busy running things back home. They hold considerable power, but make up 10% of the total population.

Yes, but that runs the risk of Redundancy as you mentioned before. *Scatches head* It seems the more technical classes are that way for a reason.

[Greatak]

An engineer will be specialized towards analog or digital work. Calling herself a machinist, Ulyya is probably more analog specialized, knowing about vehicles and their maintainance, etc. You could be a digital systems expert, with some experience with VI/AI programming, hacking, those sorts of tasks. Though that's just if you want to make sure we don't overlap.

As I said before, we don't have the crazy awesome biotic yet. You could fly around and throw people through walls and stuff, vaporize faces... It seems like it could be a lot of fun.

[katosu]

Asari Pureblood Adapt/Scientist. Thoughts?

Edit: Trying to picture how that would work out. It just seems too drastically different. Could say that it is medium-advanced knowledge of science, but might just be easier to choose something else.

[Gsarge]

Gre, it's been figured that Korgan have no max lifespan and don't die of old age, this is because of the fact they fight so much and die in combat that their population is kept low. Along with the genophage which keeps their population growth to industrial levels. I mean the shaman on the Korgan home world was well over 1000 where as the Asari do seem to have a max age of roughly 1200 years.

Also Bar's character seems to be an urber biotic.

[Barakna]

The lifespan of turians is described as "not particularly longer or shorter than humans".

Aye. My character is a biotic. Not uber. She's powerful compared to most turians. But all asari have biotic powers. So whats called "powerfull" by turian standards might only be a little above average for an asari.

Greatak. I'm liking that ship ye drew. Also the description of it being made by humans. Was exactly what I thought when I saw it :3

Oh, and asari aren't techincally female. Male and Female has no meaning to them.

[Greatak]

Very well, it would make sense, as krogan physiology is ruggedized in every other manner. Krogan probably have a max age somewhere, even if they have no Hayflick limit, junk molecules would inevitably build up, and copying copies will eventually begin to fail. I imagined this is how the asari live so long, a robust immune system and some way of avoiding the Hayflick limit, or at least a very high limit.

And very well, I stand corrected, I apologize. I was imagining a Samara level of power, asari are traditionally said to be the only ones who can be that powerful. Though I see no reason why we can't make artificial biotic implants. It's just a chunk of eezo that uses signals from the brain to power itself, we could just cover a suit in strategically placed chunks of eezo and some sort of neural interface and do the same thing.

And asari are female in a biological sense. Females are the ones who actually give birth, and the asari do that. They also have the same maternal instincts that females of other species have. They, culturally, realize they resemble females of other species and play to that advantage. If there were absolutely no gender, they'd be asexual, which they're not. Mono-gendered is a good way to explain it.

And I should hope that it looked human, I based it off of other human ships from the series.

[Barakna]

Oh and by the way. Everyone with a character have currently posted. If Katosu could get his char, and a post, up soon we will advance the plot.

I'll talk to Sigma on how he's going to join in with his char. Once he re-appears from wherever he is.

[Greatak]

Oh ya... My other idea for a character... A loose cannon hanar cop on the edge. "This one forgets if it passed its heat sink capacity and wonders if the criminal scum is feeling fortunate?" I mentioned it awhile back, but if Katosu was still fishing for ideas, it's there.

[Barakna]

I lol'd.

Like seriously lol'd. That would be totally awesome in so many ways.

[Greatak]

You didn't notice the adverts in-game? There's supposed to be a movie coming out called Blasto, the Jellyfish Stings. He's supposed to be the first hanar spectre, spouting off other catchphrases such as "This one does not have time for your solid waste excrement" and "Enkindle this!"

The hanar themselves are generally opposed to the film, as the term jellyfish is used as an ethnic slur to refer to their people, so anti-defamation groups are upset.

[Barakna]

I'll have to open up my game now and lol some more then.

I also remember the advertisements for a certain Hamlet play with a cast made up of only Elcor (http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=73950).

[Greatak]

That was a good one. It's in the second one, the idle loudspeakers in the corridors, I noticed it on the Citadel. It's totally worth it to hear those lines said in the hanar voice, completely monotonous.

[katosu]

I'm working pretty hard on it, but it's still very... rough.

[Barakna]

Katosu... You can do it!

[katosu]

Hahah, I like a challenge, anyways. I'd better focus. Starting up some Ar Torcelico as I work, so that should help. <_<

[StormWolf]

i'd say either do an asari or a drell.

Be a drell cook!

[Greatak]

And he could go into combat with a cleaver! I've got nothing beyond that. Cept all the chicks would hit on him, since the drell were designed as a romance option.

[StormWolf]

he'd be really good at sneaking and using knives. a space frog ninja assassin cook

[Greatak]

Sounds epic. I'm going to draw everyone's characters... Cuz I'm bored.

[katosu]

Well, I've got a running concept and PM'd it to the admin, but until I hear back I'll keep modifying. It still feels.. lacking.

[StormWolf]

awesome idea, Greatak!

[spirits breath]

oh by the way. about aging. it is from your dna. rna polymerase goes from the 5' to 3' end. one side goes 5' to 3' other side is 3' to 5'. so when the copied dna is being made, ozaki fragments are made, so dna ligase can go. but it causes parts of dna to be lost each time. we have plenty of secondary dna, so yea. after a while the body cant make what it needs and it dies. so krogan have a lot of dna.

[Barakna]

Krogans. The cockroach of the galaxy.

Anyhow. I'll be going to bed now, 2 am in Denmark, I've looked at Katosu's character. And I think it looks mighty fine.

Hope you'll get her posted and then throw in a post in the IC. So we can get this train moving C:

[Greatak]

Telomere degradation is the primary aging mechanism on a cellular level. They give the chromosomes structure when they come together to replicate. Every time they replicate, a little bit of the telomere is consumed, eventually they are insufficient to hold itself together and the cell reaches crisis. It will either enter a senescence state or continue to try to replicate, usually with disasterous results, because the DNA strands will prematurely unravel and DNA repair mechanisms will do stuff like randomly stick different chromosomes together so they hold up for replication, but then when the cell actually divides, it just randomly breaks the chained together chromosomes, rarely resulting in a beneficial cell. Stuff like immune cells that need to replicate a lot have a nifty protein, telomerase, to rebuild the telomeres so they can extend their hayflick limits pretty much indefinitely. On a systemic level, aging occurs as all the little problems over a lifespan add up, such as leftover metabolism junk like free radicals that go around and do nothing useful, at worst damaging stuff. It sounds like you're referring to periodic mutations within the organism. These are usually taken care of by the immune system and the loss of a cell here or there is taken care of because there's a bunch of cells in a given organ. Krogan and asari very probably have a method to extend the hayflick limit for their cells and robust immune systems to clean up the waste material from their metabolisms. Krogan however have redundant organs, so their longevity might be thanks to just using the back ups as the new ones fade and aren't really as biologically long-lived as the asari.

Elcor on the other hand just feel like turtles to me, so they probably have slower metabolisms and live longer because of that.

And what a coincidence, I'm starting with you Storm. Is it okay with you if he's left-eye dominant? I use myself for referencing human anatomy and that's how I am, so it's just easier for me to draw him that way.

[katosu]

Username: Katosu

Name of Character: Sozia

Race: Asari

Gender: Female

Age: 150

Class:
specialization: Adept [Bastion] / Scientist

Strengths/Abilities: Has a mastery of the basic Biotic abilities, but has developed a small-scale biotic barrier that can temporarily protect allies. It is very short-lived, but it can grant a reprieve for a small time. She is particularly more defensive about her abilities – shifting cover to an exposed ally in the environment, or forcing an enemy out of hiding as her allies shoot it down.

Personality: She is constantly putting herself in the way of harm to make sure others are safe. She does not mind being on the front line, though being a biotic makes this harder and the light armor also makes it more difficult to survive, she has managed herself with surprising resilience and shown she is formidable in combat by herself.

Due to the nature of her powers, she has gained a large amount of confidence – but does not allow it to grow on the side of arrogance. Instead, she is very humble and merely speaks from experience.

Bio: Born of two pureblood Asari, Sozia grew up ridiculed by her peers. She was often insulted, but this never stopped her from seeking the acceptance of those around her and pushed her to work harder until it finally bore fruit in the field of Biotics.

At first, she trained rigorously in Biotics. She wanted to use her given ability – whether it was born of pureblood or of her own natural talent – to help people. She joined the military at a young age, undergoing intensive biotic training for over 50 years and undertaking multiple dangerous missions.

From her military life, she gained a fascination of the world around her. She began researching planets – why they were suitable for life, what sort of conditions would kill certain species, how to make an environment suitable for habitation. Her interests slowly spread, and she studied more and more while never relenting in her biotics.

As she was studying, she began to work in a small team for a short time. They worked planet side, investigating the atmosphere of a planet in the terminus system that humans were considering populating. She learned much from the teams during this time, and earned some particularly good friendships.

This time, however, was cut short. The Geth invaded the research team's base, attacking during the night while they were unaware. They hacked the terminals and dropped their defenses before they even knew what was happening. Quickly, the research team found itself panicking and evacuating. Sozia was forced to hold the line with a small number of troops, viciously outnumbered while the colony was evacuated. Thanks to her actions, many people escaped with their lives.

Appearance: Due to being pure-blood, she does not have any markings on her face that you might find on many of the other Asari. Outside of that, she looks like a typical Asari.

well, that's all I got so far. Wasn't able to make any improvements since I sent it, but I'll be sure to document it if I add anything.

[Cleopatra]

I swear, I've learned more about biology in this one thread then I have from an entire textbook. There is no escape from the science! D:

[spirits breath]

sombody else is educated I see. But wouldn't the cells just activate the P53 gene? It would make the cell explode. A.K.A the bomb I am thinking of making, activated the gene, and then you die. not sure how, but it will work.

And I think that is how krogan live longer. one goes out, shuts down, other is used, while primary is being repaired. Makes you wonder if you can give a krogan diabeties? what a sight that would be. or a biotic with a bad headache, push/warp that.

Well, least you have sources for some other questions. though I am only in ap bio

[Cleopatra]

Oh good grief, I'm in class again.

XD But I don't mind so much since it's all for Mass Effect.

[Greatak]

Well, in the case of krogan, switching to a secondary organ initiates their blood rage, so as they age, they'd periodically go through even more aggressive phases if that's how they live longer. But that explanation may make sense, as the krogan are said to have more robust repair mechanisms than the average creature, so this theory may hold up well enough.

Cleo, that's what I'm here for.

And Katosu, looks good. Remember, you can always retcon stuff if it comes up.

EDIT: Not to be too critical here, but I never got the feeling there's a physical object that is a credit. I assumed it was a natural evolution of the financial systems developing on Earth. With the growth of economies, banks will also grow, inevitably consolidating into mega-corps with control over vast sections of the economy. Banks operate on debt and seek to make everyone as in debt as possible. I assumed that credits were literally what the term suggests, an extension of good faith from a bank to buy stuff. It's just so widespread no one minds and in fact, most deals are done by exchanging this debt between people. Or if there is a hard currency, it at least is all transferred electronically. The volus feel enough like the Swiss that criminal activities could be funded with minimal eyebrows raised. But maybe that's just me.

[Barakna]

Preparing the GM post. Expect it up sometime this evening.

[katosu]

I'll keep an eye out. Will be off work @7:00 tonight (10: 30 now)

[Barakna]

It's a very long post. So It'll take a while before I'm done. But I'm working as fast as I can. :3

[Cleopatra]

Can't rush perfection! I can't wait to see what you've got, Barakna.

[Greatak]

I drew Cmdr Wolfe now... Uploading it, any requests for who next?

[katosu]

@Cleopatra;

[Barakna]

Almost done. Need to reply the last three people. Then I'll post it.
Also updated the Accepted Characters with Katosu's char.

Aiit, I'm on it, as soon as I upload Wolfe.

[StormWolf]

can't wait to see him!

[Barakna]

Neither can I!

Oh and everyone. There has been posted! *applaude*

I took a few liberties with some of the characters.
I left some space in there so, if, you want to fill them out with you characters reactions and whatnot. You can do it.

Edit: Also. That was one bloody long post.

[Greatak]

Pish posh, you've clearly never RPed with me. That's not a long post. Happy to see it nonetheless.

[Barakna]

I had fun writing it though.

But I think thats the longest I've ever written in an RP. I'm a tad proud over here. Like the child who discovered a particular large bug, and then decided he/she had to show it to someone.

[StormWolf]

haha. good analogy! I'm writing a post right now

[Greatak]

Very well, personal bests are always something to strive for. Though I can't say I would be maintaining character if Marlo accepted this invitation. He views his work as being of paramount importance, some cryptic invitation is probably not going to get him to abandon it. However, perhaps with a short discussion with Dest he'll be intrigued how his defenses were breached in such a manner to warrant enough curiosity to attend. However, there is the matter that the last time a turian was interested in his talents, he was kidnapped and held hostage and forced to work for nearly a decade.

Unless you wanna do this Trojan war style, and you have to round up a few hold-outs before you head off. It would probably allow me to maintain my character far better if he didn't attend the initial meeting, and you had to send someone after him. His ego would likely be fed to the degree that he'd accept out of sheer pride.

[Cleopatra]

haha. good analogy! I'm writing a post right now

I... am doing homework right now. T_T And procrastinating, but who doesn't procrastinate when doing homework? XD

[Stream]

"However, there is the matter that the last time a turian was interested in his talents, he was kidnapped and held hostage and forced to work for nearly a decade."

*cough*

[Greatak]

What's that Stream?

[Barakna]

I think it's a cough.

But I actually think it's an interesting idea.

[Greatak]

That I say no? Works for me, I can get a post together then.

[Stream]

Remember what I explained to you what I did to the Salarian about my "condition"?

[Barakna]

It still haunts my dreams Stream.

Anyways. Looking forward to seeing some posts. I'll get Tiris in sometime tomorrow.

[katosu]

Goal is to end up at the Warehouses, or will we be interacting with eachother's characters before that?

[Barakna]

I'm guessing we'll meet at the warehouse. Though if you have something plannet out with someone, you could go with that before heading there.

[katosu]

An interesting idea, but outside of concept, I don't know if there'd be anyone I'd know.

[StormWolf]

Greatak! I wanna see da drawings!!!

[Greatak]

They're on the PC now, I actually have to upload it. You can see after I post.

I hope I didn't take too many liberties with my post.

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/038/5/0/Commander_Wolfe_by_Greatak.jpg

Here you are, I don't like the face in the end, but I'm not redoing it again.

[StormWolf]

you got the scars perfect! very well done!

That sexy devil is single, ladies ;) lol

[Barakna]

Nah, Greatak. It's just about fine C:

Nice picture dude!
If I had to give some critique. It looks a bit odd that the right arm goes as far down as the left. Since his shoulders looks slanted.

Else it's a mighty fine drawing mate.

I'll get my own post in later today. Everything looks nice so far. :3

[Greatak]

I think in general, his arms are too long, but his left arm is also unnaturally posed, it should have some bend in the elbow if it's totally relaxed, which I think it shoudl've been.

[Cleopatra]

Sorry I haven't been able to get my post up, but with the Superbowl and work I've had some things to do. I'll try to have one up today.

[Barakna]

Yes! Internet again!

I'm back in business.
The net died on college yesterday. So wasn't able to post anything.

[MidKnight]

Dude, I hate when things like that happens, last year I was at the college library and the internet was down, I had no car or a ride home, apparently the buses don't leave at a specific time, lol.

[Barakna]

Marvelous. Got a post in before bed time.

@Hell Knight: Sounds like an interesting place to live mate. A place where busses don't follow a particular schedule C:

Anyhow, I'll see ya'll later. Bed time for lill Barakna now.

[Greatak]

Bus schedules make life boring... When you have to go hunting for a bus, that's when it gets interesting.

Nice post... Would anyone mind if I added some filler junk with my character? To alleviate some restless fingers?

[spirits breath]

I don't mind, kinda working something out with Ushima. and we both are busy this week. But I will have all next week off to enjoy.

[MidKnight]

Username: Hell Knight

Name of Character: Jax

Race: Krogan

Gender: Male

Age: 822

Class Specialization: Battle Master

Strength/abilities: Throw, Lift, Barrier, Overload, Carnage.

Personality: Jax was once known to be cruel, harsh and disobedient. If someone tries to match him for strength, he likely throw the first punch, and is very short tempered.

Bio: Jax was once with a small group, at least 3 other Krogan members, they were to overtake a shuttle freighter. But what they didn’t know was that the shuttle was a Military supply shuttle, but they invaded the shuttle anyways. Equipped with the best supplies, and best weapons and armor, Jax and his team mates raided the vessel.

Fighting against the best elite soldiers and forces on the shuttle, the battle lasted than 3 minutes. Jax was the last to survive the battle, his clan found him in the cargo hold, right in the middle of the area, surrounded with dead bodies, and empty shell cases. Surprised by his efforts, he was known as the strongest out of the clan.

Appearance: http://masseffected.pbworks.com/f/1199994085/mass-effect-20070620020613672.jpg

Others: He’ll ponder in a corner by himself, thinking of a nice plan to kill his enemy, and how many shells he’ll end up wasting.

[Barakna]

Filler junk is accepted.

And so is Hell Knight.

[Stream]

Posted.

My next post I will have arrived in the Citadel. I'm always fashionably late.
