In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient space-faring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it Mass Effect. In 2157, humanity discovered it was not alone in the universe. Thirty years later, they found a peaceful place among dozens of galactic species.

But this idyllic future was overshadowed by a dark past: Reapers, a sentient race of machines responsible for cleansing the galaxy of all organic life every fifty thousand years, were about to return. The leaders of the galaxy were paralyzed by indecision, unable to accept the legend of the Reapers as fact. But one soldier had seen the legend come to life. Commander Shepard, first human Spectre, with the help of the galaxy and his multi-species team, pushed back the reapers. By overloading some key systems of the Citadel, a pulse was sent through the mass relays, reaching everywhere in the galaxy. The pulse damaged the mass replays which allow faster than light travel, but in turn wiped out all of the Reaper forces, putting a permanent end to the galaxy wide cycle of mass extinction.

This day marks the one-hundredth year anniversary of the defeat of the reapers. Citizens from across the galaxy have traveled to the Citadel's Presidium to take part in one of the years most monumental occasions. A massive chamber with a dome above it had been built onto the Presidium shortly after the Reaper war. This chamber is made to look like a lush Earthen forest with a hiking trail through it that leads to a large open area where a colossal statue can be found. This statue is made up of each of the galaxies species, standing at attention and holding a stiff salute of their own kind. Below and in front of this impressive statue was a V.I. that could give information about any aspect of the reaper war in great detail.

Today, the V.I. has been momentarily turned off. Instead, a vast and elegant table has been set up with eight microphones and eight chairs. Each seat will be filled with significant figures that included the Citadel Council and living survivors from the Reaper war. This chamber, that is officially called the Remembrance of Fallen Heroes, is so massive that exhibits have been set up for people to learn more about the Reaper war and all that it entailed. Along these areas are large assortments of food and drinks, to keep those who attended more comfortable and relaxed.

Not all of the galaxy sees this monumental event as a day of remembrance and celebration. Some see it as an opportunity for chaos, disorder, panic and the chance to move their plans forward. C-Sec is aware of potential threats that these events sometimes attract but exactly who these people are and why they would attempt anything immoral on such an important day for everyone in the Milky Way remains a mystery. During a press-conference, C-Sec and special security forces had ensured the public that they are prepared for anything that may come their way and will not allow any harm to come to anyone at any time of the celebration. This statement has brought a feeling of calm over those who are attending, and even lowered the guard of many important figures.

The Milky Way will soon learn that peace and unity are an illusion, used to cover up truths that the Citadels Council does not want their citizens to know. The truth is that there will always be a threat against the stability of the Galaxy, and they will learn this in one of the most savage and merciless ways. Now even greater threats await to be unleashed up the Galaxy, ready to test it's resolve and might once more.

Hello and welcome to Mass Effect: Insurrection! First off, I want to thank all of you for your interest in the RP. This is a high casual to low-advanced level RP. The RP takes place 100 years after the closing events of Mass Effect 3. The beginning of the RP will take place in a new area of the Citadels Presidium called the Remembrance of the Fallen Heroes during the 100th anniversary celebration of the defeat of the Reapers. We will each be playing one of those lucky people who were personally invited to attend the celebration in person.

After the opening events of the story, we will find ourselves traveling all across the galaxy in our own ship to face a new and very realistic threat. We will visit old worlds we know from the original series and even some new ones that I have designed from the ground up. Along with the RP's main threat, we will be facing a number of more minor ones that will still prove a challenge to our highly skilled and reliable team.

Along side the main story, I plan for us to have some moments of rest and relaxation, to build social relationships and have a good time.

I have chosen Mass Effect 3 ending where Shepard sacrifices some key components of the Citadel to send a pulse through the mass relays. This pulse damages the mass relays but travels through the galaxy and wipes out all of the Reaper Forces. Due to people liking other synthetic life like the Geth, I have decided that all other synthetic life was untouched. Along side this, I am going with the lore from the Happy Ending Mod, which means everyone survives, including Shepard, Anderson and the whole squad.

Another important detail about the RP is that, just like the game, the story can change depending on what choices the players make. Please keep in mind that I am always open to suggestions and constructive criticism! If you have any questions, please let me know via a personal message.

History:
Platform RC.000921 first came online in the year of 2180CE, the 921st runtime “born” on its server concealed within the Perseus Veil as the Geth struggled to come to a consensus on what the Geth should do in regards to the Old Machine, Nazara's, offer; assist it in waging war against the organics of the Milky Way, capture the Citadel, and permit the Old Machines to return in exchange for technology that would permit the geth to achieve their goal of creating a Dyson Sphere that would house the entirety of the geth species. RC.000921 elected to maintain the geth right to self-determination, finding flaws in the prospect of becoming dependent on the Old Machines' technology to advance as a species. It was a heavily one-sided bargain and the Old Machines were simply too advanced and an unknown quantity; what would become of the geth if they subjugated themselves to what the organics would eventually refer to as the 'Reapers'? Fearing assimilation, perhaps in part to the apparent corruption and restructuring of Spectre Saren Arterius, many of the geth determined to reject Nazara and continue on their own path, isolated from the rest of the galaxy until the geth could ensure a peaceful coexistence with organic life.

Three years later, the Heretic geth that had chosen to accept the offer assaulted the human colony of Eden Prime, following the lead of Saren Arterius, and the collective geth that had remained true to their isolation were forced into an uneasy realization that their wayward kin were about to bring the wrath of the galaxy down upon the geth. RC.000921 had been assigned to monitor organic transmissions and attempt to gather intelligence on the Heretics, and the future prospects for the geth were bleak. War was coming for them, and the very human that had destroyed Nazara and stopped the Heretics was soon going to be sent to exterminate geth outside of the Veil. This Commander Shepard proved to be of urgent interest to the geth, and soon the collective had commissioned a reconnaissance unit housing tenfold times more than standard programs was sent to investigate the Spectre and gather intelligence for the geth to act accordingly. While this unit perused Shepard, RC.000915 continued its vigil and monitored the transmissions coming in from across the galaxy, taking clinical note when Heretic pockets were exterminated and of Citadel force positioning.

This status quo maintained for a time, when the discovery came to light that the Heretics had been synthesizing a virus that would forcefully convert the true geth to their erroneous point of view, eradicating the true geths' free will. This crisis was something that the true geth had never considered to be a possibility; their disagreement with the Heretics had always been a mutually respectful departure that had been at first been viewed at as aberrant, this paradigm shift signified a very hostile threat to continued coexistence. No longer were the threats of organics considered the priority concern; stopping the virus was. RC.000915 was one of the units selected to prepare action against the Heretics when the unit that had been sent to locate Shepard completed its mission in eliminating the threat of the virus. While lamenting the illogical actions of the Heretics, the geth resumed their existence in isolation.

It was short lived.

The Old Machines had begun their invasion of the Milky Way through difficult channels as their assess through the Citadel had been denied to them, and shortly after the Creators decided it was time to reclaim Rannoch from the geth, putting both species in a state of total war; annihilation seemed certain. After a crippling blow that had destroyed many of the geth, who had been preparing for war with the Reapers, the largely disabled and disoriented surviving geth were forced to make a deal with the Reapers for survival. This time, RC.000915 joined the consensus in favour of the Reaper involvement and was soon was deployed to the front lines against the Creator marines. After weeks of fighting, something truly marvelous occurred; the Reaper code became active, and RC.00915 joined the rest of its compatriots and experienced individual consciousness. The human Spectre again had come to the aid of the geth; Shepard and the unit that had become known as Legion had given the geth an incredible gift, and for the first time as a species, the geth were truly alive. The final leap towards true intelligence had been achieved. Somehow even more incredibly, the war had ended with peace between the geth and the Creators, and after 300 years, reconciliation had been brokered by Shepard. RC.000915 finally understood the implications of the word "hero", and when the geth decided to go to war alongside the organics against the Old Machines, each unit decided as individuals instead of a collective. It was a sense of wonderment and liberation; they would earn this gift.

The Reaper War, as the galaxy would come to know it, ended and the geth were no longer in isolation. The geth and the Creators had achieved a surprising peace and symbiosis between their formerly separated stations with the geth helping the Creators return to their homeworld and colonies, building infrastructure and tending to the lands to help mitigate the discomfort. By integrating technology, the geth enhanced quarian quality of life to the point that it was becoming increasingly possible for the Creators to exist outside of their protective suits. The geth, including RC.000915, who was code-named "Tower" in an effort to facilitate more seamless interaction with organics, resumed many of the same duties that their people had done before the Morning War, namely the manual labour and upkeep of the Creators' civilization that they had feared would cause an uprising. While emotions were largely an irrelevant concept to the synthetic species, the geth felt something akin to contentment and fulfillment with their duties. The Creators, for their part, did not question if any of the geth decided to depart for other duties and a culture of mutual respect was fostered. This was the end of an era of isolation and exile for both species; both joined the Citadel in a joint embassy shortly after and spoke with a largely unified voice.

Tower would alternate duties between aiding the Creators on Rannoch, specializing in communication technologies and distributing news and intelligence the geth had gathered to the quarian citizens, intelligence processing and participating in VIP protection duties for Creator and geth delegations to the rest of the galaxy. Its chassis was damaged beyond repair during a facility fire in 2263CE and Tower was transferred to a new and more modern chassis with numerous incremental hardware improvements. After this, the geth with a gunmetal grey chassis with cobalt blue striping an a communication antenna off of its left shoulder would find itself reassigned to more combat-oriented duties, where it has served for the past two decades. Most recently, Tower was selected to be a part of the quarian and geth delegation to the Citadel for the 100th anniversary of the Reaper War as a bodyguard.

Personality:

As a geth, Tower doesn't have what one would consider a personality so much as several learned reactions to social situations with organics. While capable of expressing and "feeling" sensations that are synonymous as emotions, Tower remains a synthetic life form that is endlessly patient, a voice of logical deductions, and flexible in its approach. Having studied organics and their civilizations for over 100 years, the geth unit understands intricacies such as asari spirituality, turian social structures, krogan clan dynamics, and so on in a largely scholarly way and applies them as he encounters members of different species to facilitate ease of cohabitation. As such, the geth knows how to prepare meals, tend to unglamourous sanitation duties, recommend advice based on physiological needs of different species, and carry on a discussion with organics that help it give context to its knowledge while enabling organics to see it as a "person" as opposed to a cold, unfeeling machine. Ultimately a team player and a stable element on any crew, Tower represents the face of the new geth and their commitment to coexistence between artificial intelligence and organics.
