Do Turians even have butts? :o

@Rithy

Well, they're tiny and bony probably but...

@Leos Klien

I'll make a note to not question your habits ^^

[Leos Klien]

@Rithy Only when it comes to the bae that is Garrus :3

[DarkFey]

@BlackSam3091 What about my second group of questions? About the current legal standing of AIs in general, and Geth specifically.

[An Outsider]

@DarkFey They’ve been the Galaxies boogeymen for almost three hundred years, and that kind of fear and suspicion doesn’t go away overnight. While the other species recognize and appreciate the help the Geth offered during the war, and there's no laws against them traversing Council space, they can’t help but still treat them like pariahs. They do not have an embassy, but neither have they applies for one. The Quarian’s have, and are awaiting confirmation over whether they will get it. Council law still technically forbids the creation of AIs. Supporters of the Geth decry this, and are fighting to get the law appealed, while the opposition say that in the face of the Reaper invasion, and the destruction that those particular AI caused, that this law is just prudence. It's a hot button topic at the moment, and one we will eventually be dealing with in the RP.

[Leos Klien]

@BlackSam3091Hey Sam, can I pm you my CS? it's still under construction but I'd like to know if you're fine with its direction.

[An Outsider]

@Leos Klien Go for it.

I actually decided to run Humanmetric Jung's personality test for my character, and ended up with ESFP :D

@Silver Fox I was just heading for bed for the night, but gave your sheet a cursory glance. The only issue I spotted was that there's no reason supplied in your backstory for why she would be on the Spectre's radar. What got our attention and made us say "We need Phalanx on our team!" I'll have another, more indepth look sometime this weekend, and if MrDidact pops on before me hopefully he'll get a chance too.

@BlackSam3091

For some reason, I wasn't thinking we were applying for Spectre positions unless stated (especially a Geth considering it took even humans forever to get 1) and that Phalanx was just a traveling Geth that is studying organic life peacefully (but is still good with a sniper rifle and electronics)

But I can make it so it entered the Reaper war and was a bit impressive during the time

[An Outsider]

@Silver Fox Nobody is applying for Spectre status. Your character would be a member of a Spectre led task force that has been given the mission of protecting peace in the post-war galaxy. However despite the fact they aren't Spectres themselves, they would still need to have shown themselves to be worthy joining the team.

@Silver Fox

It was actually a big part of the original game that humanity was basically being treated like the golden child that other species were being resentful of. It only took them roughly two or three decades to get their own embassy on the citadel (the elcor and volus have to share) and the only Spectres were from Council species, namely salarians, asari, and turians, all of whom have been a part of galactic civilization for hundreds if not thousands of years.

The fact it only took 3 decades for humans to become the 4th Council race and appoint a Spectre is basically unheard of in galaxtic civilization.

@Dervish

Point taken. Forgot that little tidbit xD

Edit: though I doubt the Geth would get the same treatment

@Silver Fox

I'd imagine it would take most of the galaxy a while to really have anything other than an uneasy truce with the geth, particularly humanity after Eden Prime. It's hard to get over 300 years of being galactic boogymen that make ships that go into the Perseus Veil disappear to invading the Citadel and turning people into husks as well as willingly siding with the Reapers twice and going to a universally accepted race, fear of AI notwithstanding.

Hell, I'm pretty sure even the batarians have a better reputation and they're notorious for invading human colonies and taking slaves while cutting ties with galactic civilization.

[Mao Mao]

I am just waiting for my character to be accepted before I post it on the character sheet.

[Rithy]

@Dervish

Let's not mention the fact that the Geth were affected by the Reapers, even worked by them.

How long would it take for your normie citizen to A) Realize the Geth and the Reapers were not the same and B) Realize that the geth were not killing machines out to replicate themselves across the galaxy? ^_^

[Dervish]

@Rithy It's a good point, although I'm not sure how many people knew what the Reapers were trying to accomplish outside of the Normandy gang. I think most people would just see angry space cuttlefish that want to turn you all into robozombies and rule the galaxy.
