@Dervish Curses, seems I'm not quite the shadow I thought I was.

I've been considering it. I might have a sheet up before the 12th.


I may or may not be the Shadow Broker. I know all. ;D

No pressure!

@Lauder I loved that you could either make Ryder miss their dad or not give a singular fuck

It was male dominate last time (in the spiritual predecessor), which makes me actually laugh to see the opposite.

Alright, fixed the ranking kerfluffle and the mention of the suit he is wearing. I also threw in a few lines here and there about why Sofia's grandparents didn't mind that she was put into cryo, and just a few minor things.

Thanks again for bringing that to my attention. I thought it was a wiki where I read that military ranks were different than Alliance navy ranks and were 1=1. I tried to find it, but I couldn't. That possibly makes me an insane person.

Also, thanks for being so welcoming! I really appreciate it. A lot of RP sites require me to have receipts that I'm not a newb. So, thanks for the acceptance! And yeah, I loved Iwaku, but a lot of good RPs died. There were too many trash RPs. And honestly a little too much drama.

And thanks for the comments! I am so glad that my humor gets across. Sometimes I feel like I'm not-really funny, me standing in the shower going "huehuehuehue" at something that I just thought of is what I do constantly. In a DnD session, recently, I asked everyone to roll for intiative. I then said: "things are about to get dicey." I got a lot of blank stares. So, I appreciate it!

Well. I want you guys to know that "Clyfford the Big Red Dog" was something I didn't see immediately. But upon rechecking the list, I saw that. I actually started laughing in a public place. Much humiliation. But it was very worth it. And honestly, I never thought about this while making the character. But the character is literally "Clyfford the Big Red Dog." He's a big guy. He has red hair. He's also about as gung-ho and growly as a dog, but also just about as dense and adorable. I added a paragraph into the bio about how someone gave him that nickname and he doesn't know why. Someday...

Anyway, thank you for the wonderful critique! I appreciate it. I was REALLY needing help on those ranks, and I am glad that I fudged it up and you showed me what was correct. Damn you random internet wiki.

Oh and here's a link back to the CS so I don't seem like a jerk that leaves you to fish for it

So I'm kinda new here. And I'm kinda terrified about this. Thing is though, I'm kinda sucker for Mass Effect and Mass Effect RPs. So I figured nothing ventured, nothing gained right? Anyway look a conveniently placed distraction!

Thanks for the prompt edits! I'll get to reading them over the next few days. The Alliance ranks I actually found on the Systems Alliance page on the Mass Effect Wiki, which is a really useful resource for that kind of stuff!

And of course! I know some sites out there can be kind of elitist or require proof that you're good enough, but honestly? That just scares people off and fosters a rather toxic atmosphere to a game. Way I see it, as long as somebody reads the OOC, has a good attitude and puts forth a great sheet, what's the difference between six days and six years?

A problem I had with Iwaku was how it subdivided every single RP by subgenre, so you had a really fragmented community and it was hard to get a game noticed. I also found the community was really bad at keeping games going. Stuff I would do on this site that last for years was lucky to make it six months on that site, and I have no idea why. Ultimately I came back here after RPG became stable and I haven't looked back.

And man, I make myself laugh all the time; it's both awkward and great. Your humour definitely translates over, it's something I definitely appreciated on your sheet! Your D&D friends clearly don't appreciate puns. They should be thrown out the airlock.

Oh shit, I totally wasn't thinking about the red hair when I wrote that, but that's excellent. ;D I'm glad you appreciate the nickname.

I'll get to re-reading everything that's been posted over the next little while, I need a mental break to collect myself before hitting this again. I don't want to half-ass it.

@Xanadu I'm so glad someone applied with an angaran, and from the looks of things, you know your stuff! It occurred to me that I probably should have made an admenium that angaran characters can, of course, start off with angaran equipment. If you wish to use Initiative equipment as you specified, that's also fine! But feel free to switch it up, it was an oversight on my part because it's one of those things that are unique to the setting I failed to consider.

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply! And don't worry about it, that's why I figured I'd put the prompt up and ask! Evidently I ended up switching out the M-5 Phalanx for the Ushior and the Omni-Blade for a Firaan. Figured him brining his own gear would evidently in the end make more sense, probably, though honestly I could see it going either way. Would of switched out the Mattock as well, but from what I remeber and double checking on the wiki, we aren't introduced to an angara variant so the Mattock should do. (Could of just traded it out for an Isharay, but I don't really picture Anjor as a sniper rifle guy in my head for some reason...)

And yeah well the long and the short of it was that I sort of stumbled into a Jaal romance in my first play through without really intending to. Evidently, I ended up sort of falling for the angara after that primarily because of all the stupid adorable emails he sends you. That and from the admittedly little glimpse we get at their culture throughout the game, they are kinda fascinating. Biologically engineered by a race of mysterious precursors that peaced out and never returned, fighting a desperate war of survival. That and I mean their social hierarchies and dynamics actually reflect that of real life lions really well. So they aren't just giant talking space cats... they are giant talking space lions! And that I at least think is hella cool.

But of course! It's half my job to check up on this thing frequently. ;D The Mattock is fine; it's easy to consider a part of the liasion program, our opening bit has a training component so we can actually have him learning how to use the weapon there.

I'm doing my run as FemRyder ATM and I think I might go for Jaal, a lot for the reasons you mentioned. The angara are really fascinating and Jaal was just a great character altogether, I loved that scene where he takes you to his ridiculously large family to show you him childhood room like he's an excited kid again. It kind of gave me the impression he was forced to grow up way too quickly because of the kett and he lost a lot of the experiences we tend to grow out of. It was up there with movie night for me lol.

I didn't actually catch the lion dynamics! I'm going to have to play with that in mind to see what I pick up.

OH YEAH, EVERYBODY!

Don't forget your deadline is midnight MST (-7GMT) on Friday the 12th. That gives you a bit under 2 days, depending where you live!

No problem! It was an easy fix! And the flavor text I added is just pure flavor. A bit of reasoning behind things. A few emotional responses. And that ole "locket of your daughter and wife" trope. I love you trope.

Yeah. Some sites I've been on were more elitist that I would like. I mean, I love the written word in easy, digestible bites, but I do not want to read someone's literary novel. We got RP to make! Yeah, Iwaku's RPs didn't last long unless you were in the few that lasted forever. I was in one REALLY long one, but the GM got banned. So, like a year was the max I made it. Also, the GM was banned for totally understandable reasons. But yeah. Iwaku has HARD cliques. VERY HARD. Which was weird, because I love all genres.

Anyway, thank you for giving me the chance. This RP is super interesting, and I love scifi RPs. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls are the only fan Rps I love to join. But I do so with the fervor of a million suns. MILLION SUNS. So, like a universe ending event. That's cool.

My DnD group is hilarious. But sometimes so many things are happening that they ignore the puns. We did have a long conversation, once, but a character that had embedded her axes into a floating Grell. She was flying along with it. Yet, when she spoke about that, she always was like: "I'm IN the monster." Which led to a million jokes. Anyway, glad to see that my humor translates. Yas.

I LOVE the nickname. I made the nickname canon. "Red Dog" is on his armor. He doesn't know yet. And when he does... salt for days.

And, yeah, I totally understand creativity fatigue. Let your brain rest!
And thanks again.

PS: I found the wiki article that listed it. It's the Mass Effect Wiki, but not as prominent as the others. So, I'm NOT crazy. Also, I think it might be someone's opinions. >_>

I got to pull my interest out, suffering a case of writer's block when it comes to trying to make a background story for my character, wish you all luck in this great roleplay though!
