Mass Effect: Chronicles (OOC)

What? We cannot run a train
with Atina? I dare say sir! Ye'
of little faith! XD

Sex with a Quarian would be interesting. However it would be hard for a character to convince Atina to get in such a situation. Quarians don`t remove their suits often. The only time a Quarian will engage in sexual or intimate interactions, would be if they trust that person, are in a safe and sterile enviroment, and have taken some herbal supplements or other medicines to boost there immune systems.
 
-throws a temper tantrum-
I want to post! XD I kid. This
is just fun. Getting to play our
own characters in an ME thread.
It's nice. ^^
 
Alright guys. I think we have enough stuff to start, even if it is at a slower pace. Dizzy and I have worked out some of the starting points, so we can go from there.

Here is where we are starting from.

Atina seeks out Alec on Illium for information and a possible job. Alec had worked for her brother some years before, and was the last person she knows who saw him. This will lead to her funding an expedition to the last Prothean Ruins her brother and Alec went to. It is going to be on THIS planet. It won't be an easy assignment and Alec has no ship of his own. Alec will want to get a team together to handle this. The planet is right on the edge of the Terminus Systems and Geth Space, so it will be a rough neighborhood.

I would imagine that Alec would know Kaito by reputation. Vincent (in my opinion) should be a friend of Kaito. Possibly a protege? Sidekick? Young Ward? Or just a friend connected to Kaito somehow. Maybe Kaito knew Vincent's dad or something. (You guys can work that out.) Alec would probably just go with a pilot he knew could handle the trip and isn't likely to just sell his passengers off to slavers. Dante wouldn't have as much of a problem if it was a cute quarian girl hiring him, right?

You guys may want to plan to be somewhere on Illium at the beginning, just for simplicity. Of course Dante has a ship, so he can get hired via an extranet message or something and then fly to Illium to pick everyone up.

As for Shadow...I'm not sure how to get him in before we get to the ruins. But if we don't run in to him until we get to the planet, that would give LeoHawk35 more freedom with how Shadow chooses to fit in with the group.

So I am going to go and update the IC thread. I will post everyone's profiles in there in a little while. If you want to change anything that is in the profile, do so before you start your IC posting. Unless it is something minor, I don't think we should change characters around once they've been started. The IC thread will also have a small list of rules for posting. Nothing major, honestly it will just be a repost of a few of the important standard RP thread rules.
 
-claps- That was well written
Professor Nid. Very well indeed.
I am very excited. :3
 
ANNOUNCEMENT

I left out the "personal belongings" line on the profile template. I have added it to the previous post and here it is again. When your character is finalized to the point you are ready, let me know. Make sure it is in the template format.

Oh hush, hun. I'll tell you how much I appreciate your praise and worship later. I thought you'd be happy that I'm getting the game started so you don't have to keep juggling the kitties.
 
>.> Everyone likes my all
infamous CAT JUGGLING!!!
Muhahahahahahahahahaha!
 
Name: Atina'Evna nar Io
Age: Twenty
Species: Quarian
Gender: XX Chromosome
Height:Five feet-two inches
Weight:One-hundred and twenty pounds without the suit. One-hundred and thirty with the suit.

Defining Features: Like most Qurians, Atina will live her entire life inside of a protective suit, which serves as not only her lifeline but her main wardrobe. The suit's coloring is in much lighter shades, mostly white with minute shades of gray, contrasting the usual preference of dimmed color schemes. Her head piece consists of a mild crimson face shield, a light purple head-wrap with a unique and intricate geometrical design and two very distinct ribbons now dangle about her head. Around her mid section, a loose fitting wrap, that hangs just below her knees.
Birthplace: Amongst the Migrant Fleet, aboard a family ship called: "Io."


Primary Skill Set:Engineering, eidetic memory and a memory bank full of documented history from many races.
Secondary Skill Set:Hacking, Decryption, First Aid and some Medicine.
Tertiary Skill Set:Weapon and armor knowledge, cooking.

Background: At the young age of six, Atina and her older brother Khail lost both of their parents after a microscopic breach in their shared environment allowed a virus to take them both in a matter of a few days after infection. Khail took the role of sole provider and parent for the younger of the two. Atina attended school for Engineering, near the top of her class. Graduating after Khail returned home from his Pilgrimage. Shortly after his return, he was found guilty of treason by the Admiralty Board against the Migrant Fleet, for tampering and operating live Geth specimens he picked up on his travels. Atina was again left behind to finish her schooling and began her own Pilgrimage two years after her older sibling's banishment. To further her brother's studies and continue research on the Geth with no intentions of returning to the Migrant Fleet, she has been on her Pilgrimage for but a single month.
Personal Belongings:A plethora of data discs filled with information regarding Prothean data and intelligence both her and Khail have gathered, random bits of tech that either don't work or serve no real purpose, omnitool, medi-gel and a small assortment of medical supplies and herbs.
Other: Atina is very smart when it comes to the books, so the real world comes at a much bigger shock than it would to most. Naturally curious and eager to know all that lays beyond the protective clutches of the Migrant Fleet, she is both easy to please and even quicker to astound. However young and naive, her level of intelligence should never be called into question for her seemingly infinite memory and endless bank of intel provides insight to a lot of information pertinent to the group's cause.

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

My Final Draft. There.

^ I'm here to sleep with your wife. ^

Name: Kaito Foley
Age: Fifty Two
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 6 Foot 2
Weight: Two hundred and ten pounds.

Defining Features: A long scar than runs from his neck to the bottom of his chin.
Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan

Primary Skill Set: Biotic Vanguard, expert in Shockwave, Pull and Charge. Expert fighter.
Secondary Skill Set: Decent Strategist. Can plot out decent tactics for taking down groups/large enemies.
Tertiary Skill Set: Survival. Don't eat yellow snow. Don't eat out Turians etc. etc.

Background:Almost like a marauding warrior, Kaito wandered from planet to planet earning chips as he went. No job was too dirty or too difficult for him. His hair has thinned as he wandered, it’s tricky to try and put his age down. Some say he’s in his forties while others claim he’s nearer his seventies. He had training in some form of military, his trigger finger is very disciplined and without his weapons he’s just as lethal. Has an outright hatred for Vorcha though, people theorized it was something to do with his past.
Personal Belongings: A shotgun, a heavy pistol and a data disk that contained something from his mysterious past. No one has seen said data disk, but he can be heard playing the disk with a far away glance on his face.
Other: Can have a trust worthy gut, depends on his diet.

Well, I'm good to go. I was inclined to have Kaito to be a lone wanderer but if Vincent wants to work a story together, then that's cool too.

Vessel Registry: MSV Exodus
Vessel Class: Civilian luxury craft - B
VI name: Exodus

Armament: Three anti-personal/small craft Turrets, automated. One top mounted heavy turret, gunner required. One bottom mounted, military grade ion cannon, used for disabling craft.
Armor: 3 centimeters dura-steel hardened in Mass-Effect event horizon, 3 sub-layers of shielding, plus an additional "over" shield.
Engine specifications: Capable of FTL travel at a little under 4 minute warm-up, making her one of the fastest ships in the galaxy. Impulse engines capable of .4 light speed. Emergency thrusters.
Ship size: 40 meters. 4 Cabins, Cock pit, mess area, bathing area, Reactor/engineering bay, meditation chamber. Each cabin comes equipped with extranet terminals, plus bunk. No Cryogenic facilities.
Apperance: A gleaming ship, her dark blue stripes dignify her as a rich man's vehicle. Which it was, before stolen. Her kinetic barriers seem to make the ship appear hazy, almost as if coming from a dream.

Short Description: The Exodus had belonged to a particularly powerful Mercenary, who had hired Dante for some work. Being the eternal opportunist, Dante scrubbed the ship of any tracking devices, and stole it. Since then, he's been hunted by this Mercenary and his band of bandits, causing Dante to stay on the move. He's souped up the engine, beating almost any ship in a "foot-race" to light speed.

The craft is overly-shielded, and overly-gunned, thus causing constant problems with the Reactor. Power outages are common, often at the worst times. The VI is restricted to the cock-pit, and only assists with point defense and piloting. All personality was stripped by Dante due to it's human qualities.

As for Shadow...I'm not sure how to get him in before we get to the ruins. But if we don't run in to him until we get to the planet, that would give LeoHawk35 more freedom with how Shadow chooses to fit in with the group.

Do not worry.

Shadow always has his bases covered.

Like me!

Oh, and I'm sure that would be an interesting conversation with tech suppport, Dizzy. Hmm, that reminds me. I suppose there is no realistic way to bring Shadow into the sexual mix.

Maybe as a beta for the synthetic genital technology? Haha.

Perhaps he gets a crush on the Exodus?

If Bender could have sex with the Planet Express Ship a Geth could totally tap that luxury craft. She might not be voiced by Sigourny Weaver...but you have to take what you can get.
 
On the ship? No, I don't think so.

And never pair Shadow in a group with that poor excuse of an A.I.
 
Fine fine. Ruin our plan to have some hot steamy Geth or ship action. We can still have some fun, though. Just need to find a way for Shadow to build some tentacles...

@pimpmar

You might want to scale the ship back a little. I like it, but possibly too nice. It seems a little strong for civilian luxury class ship that is operated by just one man. That is just my thoughts on it though, so if anyone else has any feedback please post it.

Now, aside from what the ship is, the description is great. It has just enough technical information without bogging down the description. Describing ships can be pretty hard but I got a solid idea about what you were going for with it.

One thing I'd like is possibly a shape? I know that is the hardest part to do without just taking some picture from another source, but I find the best way to go is to allude to what the ship brings to mind when seeing it. Like what does the silhouette or outline look like from the profile and from top-down.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Right now there are 3 finalized profiles on the IC thread.

Please check the IC profile to see if I made a mistake when I copied it over.
 
I knew that the top-mounted turret was over the top (no pun intended). We're going to scrap that. As for the ship's appearance, picture the Normandy's three pronged appearance. Scrap the back two prongs, and elongate the central section. Replace the dual engine cores with one, and add a long turret barrel for the ion cannon. That's really the best I can do. :p
 
NAME: Vincent Anastasio
AGE: 19
SPECIES: Human
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 5'11"
WEIGHT: 144 lbs
APPEARENCE: Thin and gangly, light blue eyes, straight black hair about 3" in length, pale skin, thin jawline and slightly angular face. Wears light, full body armor with camo design and coloring.
BIRTHPLACE: Shinxa

PRIMARY SKILLS: Tech and Biotic Sentinal: Tech Armor, Overload and Reave
SECONDARY SKILLS: Stealth, Close Combat (Guerrilla Tactics) and Trapmaking (Making and setting up traps)
TERTIARY SKILLS: Medicine and Socialization (Interrogation and Torture)

BACKGROUND: Born on Shinxa, Vincent was just a baby when the First Contact War began. His parents were killed during the invasion and he would have died as well if a resistance fighter hadn`t saved him. He grew up with a hatred towards the Turians, along with the council races (Asari and Salarians) for there bigotry and indifference towards humanity. Vincent joined the Alliance for a while, but grew displeased with them as well. He became a loner and took up mercenary work for awhile. He eventually fled to an isolated planet in the area between the Terminus System and Geth Space, to seek solitude and improve his skills.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS: Light full body armor, SMG, Shotgun, Pistol, Survival pack containing survival gear, omni tool, money, knife, and a journal to keep a log of his adventures.
OTHER: Vincent is loyal to any companions and friends he makes. He`s very shy and reserved. Doesn`t talk much around strangers.

The pun may not have been intended, but I still like it. I think just removing that turret fixes the whole thing. The appearance is nice, too. Turian and human designs certainly seem to lean towards a delta shaped ship. Since they have the majority of the "badass" military ships, anyone who wants to make an allusion or capture that intimidation feeling would design a ship along those lines.

When you get your character profile done, I will add your ship's info right under your character. So just make sure you have it finalized to a point where you are happy with it.

@Avellan13

When I was putting your profile up I noticed that you'd been spelling the planet "Shanxi" as "Shinxa." I hadn't even noticed that before, and probably wouldn't if I hadn't typed it in to the ME wikia. For some reason I thought it was "Shinxa" too. Ah well. I fixed it on the profile in the IC thread.
