May I assume I don't need extensive knowledge about the later stages of the story of the video game? I never even came close to finishing the Andromeda game (didn't like it), but I've played the main series and like the world to the extent that I've participated in fandom RP's before. That being said, if I do need to know that stuff I'm willing to read up on it.

I'd also like to ask about the powers; how will they work IC? How gamey are they compared to the actual games? Especially the soldier and tech abilities like concussive blast or barricade.
