Omega, often described as the answer that the Terminus Systems dreamed up as a dark, twisted counterpart to the Citadel station that lies within Council space, has known countless criminal empires rise and fall upon its streets. Rulers change hands on occassion, the most current being Aria T'Loak, former lieutenant of the former ruler of Omega. Such blood is spilt on a regular basis to maintain rule over the dark heart of Terminus, had been dealing with the three largest Gangs on Omega since her take over. The Blue Suns, Blood Pact, and Eclipse were the three biggest besides Aria’s own syndicate organization that, in her own word’s, ‘Was Omega’. Then a legend came back from the dead, Commander Shepard, and in one fell swoop he wiped out the main strength of all three organizations in saving one individual known to Omega as Archangel, leaving a power vacuum. One that Aria was eager to fill.
So, discreetly, she founded a new mercenary organization to take over. The new mercenary company would not overtly work for Aria, although their leader would indeed have a direct link to Aria for anything that would do her good to know about. The Regulators, a simple name hiding a complex design and process. They would only be one small team, patterned after another rather unusual success. A small team of some of the best available specialists, soldiers, and technicians would be Aria’s personal hit team when called upon, otherwise working on bringing in extra currency for her coffers while being paid and having gear covered by the head of Omega itself.

So this is planned to be a small group of players, no more than 6-8 at the absolute maximum, playing the roles of various members of Aria’s newly formed Regulators. This is going to be kicking off shortly after, as that little bit of fluff above showed, just after Shepard left after completing the mission to rescue Archangel. So, ME2 level tech and equipment, anything introduced after ME2 won’t be showing up, not initially at any rate. A few rules and guidelines before we get into better stuff.
1. My, and the Co-GM’s, word is law, first and foremost. We will be reasonable, certainly, and aren’t here to make this a miserable chore, but if we deny something or nudge things in one direction or another, we have a reason for what we do.
2. Should go without saying, but godmodding, metagaming, stuff like that, not cool.
3. Yes, this team forms some of the best that Aria can find, and a lot of casual mooks won’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving. But some enemies are above any one of us taking on, keep that in mind, no one is invulnerable to all harm.
4. There will only be 6-8 for the RP, tops. There are a few people who have spots reserved, so it is going to be a first come, first serve basis beyond that.
5. Real life happens, it sucks, we all know this. Give either me or the Co-GM a heads up when you can, and there is no problem holding your spot. Don’t do that after a couple days of no posting or activity period, we reserve the right to feed your character to the Krogan.
6. I don’t expect whole books of content for posts, but try to keep at least one paragraph per post, and while frequent posting is encouraged, don’t trample someone and ignore them in the process if at all possible.
7. Oh, and romance is fine and all, certainly, but keep the steamier stuff past kissing out in the PM's, yea? We don't need to see your Krogan on Hanar action.
Alright, now onto a CS for folks who want to get started ASAP.
Name:
Species:
Gender:
Age:
Physical Description: Image or Written is fine, but at least a paragraph for this, two is recommended if possible.
Psychological Profile: Who are they as a person, under fire, off the job, waiting for the inevitable to happen, what defines them as a unique being, from a psychological point of view.
Class: Kind of a general defining direction here, what is their job?
Skills: What talents and ‘powers’ do they usually have and use?
Equipment: Remember, this is ME2, nothing from ME3 will be accepted right now. And be reasonable, you are no Shepard, walking armory extraordinaire. Some people will be able to carry more than others, for various reasons.
History: Two paragraphs here, describe their past, what they’ve done that would have gotten them selected for the Regulators, how they came to be the kind of sort that would even be employed in such a group.
