Mass Effect: Underworld

@POOHEAD189 I'm not sure if that was explicitly mentioned, just that they were too weak to resist human expansion. But they've had a very long time to establish an intergalactic society, should have had a population akin to one of the Council races.

@BlackSam3091 And Blackjack. Also, seems you might be able to create a Salarian biotic after all.

@SgtEasy We'll have a closer look at the Batarian race, but they're an old enough species that they should be somewhat diverse religiously and culturally, and anything you come up with for your own character doesn't necessarily contradict any of our own stuff.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@SgtEasy Right now the situation is very chaotic. Lots of husks and indoctrinated still prowl their space and their homeworlds are still in ruins after the Reaper attack. About half of the home population was killed in battle or processed and the Hegemony has basically stopped operating as a political entity outside of a surviving politician or two or odd military officer. Their entire way of life is in a state of flux and the race is being pulled into a dozen directions, whether it's toward returning to the old system, a complete reform, and everything in between. This will be elaborated upon further in the RP, but I'd love to see what you come up with for a Batarian character.

@Silver Fox Hmm interesting idea to make Phalanx a merc, though what would it do with credits?

Mass Effect: Underworld

@Silver Fox Being in the war and distinguishing itself would be enough, but it should be explicit in the sheet that Phalanx gained recognition for it and stood out uniquely for the Spectres to notice it.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@PrivateVentures I believe everything is in order with regards to our previous concerns and I see nothing majorly in need of an edit. Unless Sam has further words, I think you might be done with rewriting.

@The Spectre Shouldn't take too long for that.

@MechonRaptor You did a good job with the sheet, it was very in-depth and I really got a feel for the character. My one issue is that from what we understand, indentured servitude does not work that way. IIRC, indentured servants voluntarily sell themselves into servitude and are released after their contracts are up, and contract holders are barred from abusing them. A dubious practice to be sure, but it it's not quite as horrific as the ordeal your PC went through. Pure uncut slavery would be more common in other Terminus locations however, and Omega might be a good substitute for Illium. You could keep the exact same backstory otherwise. Sam might have more to say on the matter.

@Silver Fox The sheet looks mostly fine to me, I would just say a snippet should be added on how Phalanx would have come to the attention of the Spectres or any Citadel agency, it should have some kind of reputation or interaction for the Spectres to be motivated to tap Phalanx as an operative. Is it on Earth, helping with reconstruction? Is it part of some Geth contingent on the Citadel? If your intention was for Phalanx to be recognized for being helpful in the fighting, then it should be clear it gained recognition for that.

@AquaAzura I think you pretty much addressed everything we brought up. Sam has final word on accepting the sheet but you're definitely close if not already there.

I will ask no more Quarian characters are made, and I think having one more Krogan might be overkill.

@Mercenary Lord It's fine, if you ever change your mind, I will be here.

@Greenie Long weekends are the best.

@Abefroeman Ah yes, with the no backsies addendum and the losers weepers clause.

@Celeste Back from your trip yet?

@agentmanatee How's your post coming along?

@Catchphrase Almost finished with your sheet?

@Asura I imagine any child of Aurane's would be quite adventurous.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@Rithy Yeah your character looks good to go with me.

@BurningCold We know omni-tools can flash produce smart grenades and other projectiles but it would be very inefficient to try and use it as a substitute for a gun, since the tool would have to fabricate every round, fire it, and somehow balance the heating with a fire rate that would even approach useful. It is theoretically possible but it would be inefficient and impractical.

@Arcarius You can drop a hint or two about his vendetta, and you can just put that he has demons hanging over him and he has unfinished business. You can save the biggest surprise for the game.

@PrivateVentures Hmm I believe most of our reservations were addressed but I still saw a few references to nanites. I also think it should be further explained if he had biotics as a child and how he was able to train while he was bedridden. Other than that you look very well on track. Sam may have further words.

@The Spectre Your sheet seems A-OK to me, just keep in mind that having strategic skill on paper won't automatically make him a good strategist. Sam might have more to say.

Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

@Asura Plus I imagine any child of Aurane's would be the more adventurous type than one born to a proper highborn lord like Monterys.

@Abefroeman What is this thing you call law?

Mass Effect: Underworld

Overall, I think we want to see more characters who are either tech based or who are muscle. My own Turian will be a Soldier. A Jetpack-using, dual omni-blade wielding Soldier, but a soldier. Just because you're not a biotic doesn't mean you can't be useful and interesting.

Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

@Asura Fair enough.

I had Monterys marry Princess Daenyra in the backstory in order to tie House Velaryon to House Targaryen as is the long-standing tradition. Ergo any child of Monterys' is a grandchild of Jon and Dany, unless she is a bastard.

If you want to avoid the familial relation, she could be the daughter of Aurane and the whole swashbuckling adventurer concept would work just as well. More so even, if you consider how untamed the Stepstones would still be.

@Masterkeun Ah alright, no rush.

Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

@Nightwing95 No worries. Whenever you reply, I think your post should be of our collab so we can get things moving. Though perhaps you might want to wait until after manatee posts, because I believe he's the only other PC in the melee right now.
