The galaxy is a troubled and chaotic place. The various governments that exist across this vast expanse of stars and planets can lay claim to their territories and secure law and order with their military forces, but in those pockets of space where the grasp of civilisation is not so firm, such as the station of Omega or the planet Korlus, law and order is kept by mercenary groups and gangs less interested in maintaining safety for the inhabitants of their territory and more interested in keeping their power and wealth. For those who have the misfortune of calling these stations or planets home, every day can be a brush with death, every moment could be your last.

There are those who resign themselves to a life of misery and hardship in these conditions--others, seeing no other way to go on, or hungry for power themselves, join the villainous mercenaries and gangs themselves. There are those few, however, who have felt the pain and terror inflicted by the selfish and destructive gangs and will not stand for it to go on.

This is the tale of a band of these people: men and women, whether human, Krogan, quarian, or turian, who know what it is like to be oppressed under the cruel boot of mercenaries and gangsters, and will not stand to see others feel this pain any further. Bonded by friendship, mutual hardship, and a shared hatred of the mercenary groups and gangs that infest the lonelier parts of the galaxy, they take any job they can get as long as it keeps their ship going, keeps them nourished, and above all, cleanses just one more innocent life of the oppressive choke they once felt.


The Main Storyline of Mass Effect


But that is a story that takes place far from this one; it is unlikely this storyline and the main storyline of Mass Effect will be involved at all.

A Couple of Rules

"It's like the universe screams in your face, 'Do you know what I am? Do you know how grand I am, how old I am? Can you even comprehend what I am? What are you compared to me?' And when you've realised the truth and abandoned the fantasies, you can calmly smile back to the universe and say, 'Dude, I am you.'"

I love Mass Effect. It is an amazing game and I can't wait for number three! Also, shouldn't there be some limit on the biotics and stuff so people don't go overboard?

Well, it has been (somewhat) improved. If anyone has any suggestions (this being, after all, my first RP that I created XD) I would be happy to hear 'em.

Also, this may or may not be the place to ask this, but does anyone know if the Steam version of ME1 works on Windows 7? XD

Name: Maiko Miralla

Race: Human

Age: 27

Class: Soldier. She is a heavy hitter who excels in gunfighting and physical combat.

Biotic/Tech Abilities (if any): None

Appearance


((Blargh, if I'd found a better pic I wouldn't have used this one XD So yeah...no flowers >_>))

Personality: Growing up in a world where any indication of weakness, physical or mental, could be exploited and used against you, Maiko quickly learned to place a barrier between the image she projected and her actual personality. Maiko utilises sarcasm and wit as a way of drawing attention away from her self-perceived weaknesses, and she attempts to maintain an image of toughness and strength. She has few people she trusts, and even fewer people she considers her friends; those few people would be the members of the ragtag group she travels with. In reality, despite her projected personality, Maiko feels very lonely in the galaxy.

History: Maiko Miralla was born and raised on the 'metropolis' city of Atana. Atana was considered a jewel of the galaxy--at least, the parts of it tourists and tralevers saw. In the lower levels of Atana was a slum controlled by Eclipse mercenaries who made a considerable profit in Atana's slums via a large-scale drug trade; it was also not unusual for Eclipse mercs to kill people who attempted to interfere in the drug trade, or who were unable to pay debts for this. Maiko's own father became caught up in the drug scene of Atana's slums when she was still at a very young age; as a result her mother had to bring Maiko up mostly on her own. Maiko learned in her youth to become tough and hard-skinned, and given that fights were common in Atana's slums, she learned to become a skilled fighter as well.

When Maiko was a teenager, her father was killed in an accident while using one of the Eclipse's drugs, leaving to his child and wife a considerable debt. When Eclipse came to collect, they were not very understanding when her mother attempted to explain they did not have any money whatsoever left, let alone enough to pay the debt left over.

Now left alone, Maiko struggled to make her way out of Atana's slum world and away from the grasp of Eclipse. The only option when she did so was to either become a manual worker somewhere, join the Eclipse herself, or try to make her way as a private bounty hunter, a highly prolific profession in Atana's underworld. She chose the third option, and quickly built a reputation for being skilled in bringing down high profile criminals, taking contracts from law enforcement who were unwilling or unable to delve into the mercenary and gang underworlds. Initially, she worked with a partner, but this partner, unfortunately, did not share Maiko's virtues. He grew angry with her over her selectiveness with which contracts she would take, and ultimately attempted to backstab her and take the profits they had gained for himself. His attempt failed, to say the least, and since then she had determined it would be best to operate on her own.

Maiko was tracking a high-profile Blood Pack leader when she encountered the group she would later join. Though skeptical at first of working with others after years of solo work, Maiko grew to regard them as friends rather than partners.


I agree that this is a pretty crappy character and I'm rather ashamed of it. But at this moment, what with finals and projects, it's the best I could come up with. I apologise, please bear with it.

Also, I'mma add rules n such.

Name:
Suri Walkanen

Race:
Turian

Age:
26

Class:
Vanguard

Biotic/Tech Abilities:
Pull and Biotic Charge

Appearance


Personality:
Suri has a rather blunt personality. He speaks his mind, but he knows when to stay quiet. He is loyal and likes to joke around, but his humor is typically perverted or dry. To him, the worst thing you could do is lie or turn on your allies.

History:
Suri was one of a few turians instructed with biotics. Instead of the normal view his people have of the amps, Suri was eager for one. What a better way to take down enemies? He was raised on the planet Invictus where many people died from the climate that was not good for their biology. He made it through, but was kidnapped by Eclipse mercs a few years after training with his biotics. He was patient. He acted like a good prisoner for a year or so before breaking out. The mercs wanted him on their side, but Suri was having none of that. After taking care of the small group that was watching him, he pirated their ship and made it back to his home world. After a few more years of training and serving his people, he reflected on his kidnapping during his younger days. Suri hated the punishments and tortures they made him endure. It led him to believe that him becoming a bounty hunter and removing the "bad guys" was the best way to serve his fellow turians. After hearing of a small group of bounty hunters forming, he had to join their group.


((I don't think it is that good, but I never have been good with characters...))

Haha, yours is good, for sure. I'd be a hypocrite if I said it wasn't well written XD

Anyway, accepted. We're gonna need someone to act as sort of a 'leader' though.

So we are starting after that?
Do you have a plan for the things that will happen or is it sort of a "think-of-it-as-we-go" type deal?

Yeah, I think we will be good to go after Wackman joins. I don't think we will get any more people, really.

I'm thinking that when the story begins, the group will have accepted a contract to sabotage an Eclipse drug delivery to Ilium. From there on we can think of it as we go, or if anyone has suggestions I would definitely take 'em.

This sounds like an awesome idea. Although I'm probably ill-prepared, with the fact that I never did rp before. I'll just watch and be amazed :>>
