I've created this crossover universe that I'd really like to roleplay with some people (see links up top).

I have a story outline for how I'd like this story to play out. STORY SPOILER HERE:



Something important to know is that the story will follow through to course several years. The first year starting at 2537, the missions around this time is to give a basic understanding of the universe we'll be playing with. 2546 will have a few missions meant to introduce your REAL MAIN characters (unless you plan on using a character that can stay in good shape after a lot of years). While 2549 the main stories from the original video games will take place.

Make up your own character if you'd like, but here are some "Main" characters you can reserve for the second arc:



It's alright if you haven't played all the games on this list (because I sure haven't). But you probably do need to have a good understanding of the Halo and Mass Effect universe, the rest can be understood by the lore guide that I created.

I just skimmed it, but there are a few problems with it. For example, at one point it say that in 2525 the human population reached 30 billion, but at another it says that the population of Earth is 5 billion and the population of it colonies is 1 billion. Wouldn't that mean that 5/6 of the human population doesn't live on Earth or its colonies?

Also:

"Conduits are oppressed by the Mars Alliance and Helghast empire. By 2525, however, earth and E.D.N. hold large conduit populations. On E.D.N. III, forty percent of the population outside the Helghast territory is conduit. Sixty percent of earth's total population is Conduit. The number is high probably due to the fact that interracial marriage is highly romanticized by artists and story writers." and "2525: Human-Covenant war. Covenant discovers and claims war on the Council. All ties between the Council and the Mars Alliance are broken. (HALO/KILLZONE/MASS EFFECT/)"

So, humans go to war with the Covenant, but they use no conduits or Helgast troops?

Whoops, I guess I should elaborate a bit more. I'll be sure to edit the original content:

Mars Alliance Population is 30 billion, not all of humanity itself. Planet Earth population is 5 billion, Earth is a part of the Systems alliance, not the Mars Alliance.

The 2525 event is written poorly. The Mars alliance and Systems alliance claim war against the Covenant, and the Helghast and Mars Alliance never use conduits within their ranks. I'll be sure to fix that, sorry about that.

Babylon 5 can be written in this multiverse since Mars is so important.

You could also add Half Life, Portal, and Assassin's Creed. Black Mesa develops inter-dimensional portal tech, which Apature gets hold of and turns into the portal gun tech. This research, after the events of Fallout, gets used with the Mothership Zeta ship to reverse engineer Hyperdrive tech.
Also, in the present, Abstergo is studying ancient alien tech (Prothean/Pomethean/Progenitor/etc), and some of their tech gets incorporated into the starship research.

Apature's AI tech evolves into the Fallout robotic tech (Mr. House, President Eden, etc.), which eventually evolves into Cortana and the EDI.

@ActRaiserTheReturned

Sorry dude, but I strictly limit this universe to video game scenarios. Opening up to movie/show franchises would overwhelm the gaming aspects to this. I only included AVP because the video games don't overwhelm the rest of the timeline.

@TheUnknowable I'd like to add Portal and Half-life too but I'm never sure which date to put those events in. I also haven't played the games, so I'm a bit unaware what they'll add to the universe.

Assassins creed is vaguely included in the timeline, I think I need to add abstergo/Templars to the miscellaneous factions (or did Mass Effect's Cerberus descend from Abstergo?)

As for how I planned to play this, I was thinking that each player have complete control of a single government faction. (Systems alliance, UNSC, Citadel Council, Helghast Empire, Covenant.) Each person with their faction uses characters to move the story in a certain direction. We can all have several characters as well as control over as many mercenaries or unaligned characters as we'd like. PMing each other to add our own twists and alliances is encouraged.

I just see them as adding depth by describing the tech history of the planet. I would say that Cerberus is the Templar reborn. Maybe they are an offshoot. Maybe John Sheppard or John 117 is a descendant of Desmond or the Lone Wanderer?

I'm also wondering if maybe Halo should predate Mass Effect, as humans don't have energy weapons until the end of Halo (when suddenly the Spartan Laser shows up, working like a mix of the Tesla cannon and laser rifle from Fallout), but have them routinely is Mass Effect. Also, the portal thing from Halo 3 could be an earlier version of the Mass Relay, and humans find a new one after that one stops working. It would also explain why cybernetics are so much more advanced in Mass Effect, and everyone has personal shields, unlike in Halo where only the Chief and the Arbiter had them. Human Tech + Covenant Tech would make a pretty accurate version of the Normandy's tech.

I kinda don't want Halo to predate Mass Effect. Half the fun is seeing the Mass Effect factions interact with the UNSC and Covenant. Plus, several sources have told me that Covenant/Forerunner technology surpasses Mass Effect/Reaper warfare technology.

Reapers rely heavily on fighting species that rely on Mass Effect technology, something that they exclusively adapt themselves with. Kinetic barriers which the Reapers use aren't adapted against plasma technology which the Covenant have. The UNSC even had MAC canons. If you remember in mass effect 2 we find the derelict reaper that had been disabled by a " mass accelerator round of incredible speed and power " some 37 million years earlier. Now when I hear "mass accelerator round of incredible speed " my mind goes straight to the UNSC Orbital defense grids. So even Halo UNSC technology outpaces Mass Effect technology.

Slipspace technology is like Mass Relay technology without the need of Mass Relays.

I can also go into detail how UNSC and Covenant ships are bigger and have better defenses than all the ships in Mass Effect. The Victory Fleet in ME3 had about 120 dreadnoughts and was able to keep the Reaper Armada at least occupied. Every single frigate in the UNSC outguns an ME dreadnought by a factor of 2-3. And every Covenant frigate outguns a UNSC frigate by another factor of 2-3. Halo technology far outpaces Mass Effect technology.
