"The B Team. That's what they would come to know us as. The team that did alright, but never quite as good as the Normandy did. Maybe we picked up a squadron of bombers here and there, sure. But that obviously paled in comparison to Shepard going around getting entire planets to fight for Earth. But I'm getting ahead of myself... see, we started as just, Ambassador Team 7, or just, AT-7 for short. N7's finest..."

THE B TEAM




"Welcome to AT-7, a team of specially picked individuals for the job of getting Earth the aid it needs. Armies, Fleets, Supplies, anything and everything, that's your job. You need to get these things so that the Alliance can take back Earth from those damn flying robot Squids. That means finding people in need, doing what they want you to do for them, and gaining their support. Now don't worry, the Normandy is out there doing the heavy lifting, we're not expecting you to get the entire Krogan Armada... Armada? Do they have ships? Nevermind, point being we don't expect you to do all the work. You're not alone soldier, so get out there and bring more into the fold!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it's a band of misfits who have absolutely no business being where they are, or doing what they are doing. Alliance Command really screwed this one up, and in the chaos of Earth being attacked, they accidentally got orders tossed around and people ended up in the wrong place. Now you, a group of nobodies have been essentially drafted into N7 whether you are human or not, given a frigate (Similar to the Normandy but by far less experimental and not as advanced), and told to go get support for Earth. Simple right? Yeah, definitely.

This is taking place during the Reaper invasion. It has been about a week since Earth 'fell', so people have just barely shaken off the shock that this is really happening. The different species are scattered, trying to defend their own worlds and desperately just trying to hold onto anything they have left. The Citadel is pretty peaceful all things considered, except for the flood of refugees. This itself is a bit concerning to people... why hasn't the Citadel been attacked, it's like the central Command for... everyone.

Well none of that matters now. You're heroes now, get to it.

You may be asking yourself... none of these people are that dumb right? Surely they have enough sense to sit down, and think "Alright, the Commander was a Medic, so maybe she should move to be our Medical Officer. Our cook is an Engineer, so maybe move them to Engineering." So on and so forth, right? Well, for comedic reasons, that won't happen. Our characters will keep the positions assigned to them, even if they help out on occasion in fields they are more suited for.

Allowed Species:

Human
Turian
Quarian
Asari
Krogan
Drell
Volus (Because why not)

Your origin can be literally anything you want within the confines of the rules, however you have to have SOME connection to a military, be it the Alliance, or your own species' military. However, you are NOT allowed to play any sort of veteran soldier. Even slightly experienced soldiers are not allowed. The entire idea is your character SHOULD NOT BE HERE. Whether that means a fresh recruit fresh out of basic, or Tom from accounting down the hall. You've been drafted, but even Command doesn't realize the mistake they made, and so you just have to live with it. For the Galaxy, right?

This also means you'll need a pretty good reason to have any sort of biotic abilities. An Asari for example would naturally have biotic abilities, it's just that they may not have chosen to develop this ability and may be lost for how to actually use it. Don't get me wrong, make a character who has no idea how to use biotics but tries their damndest all you want. Just no Adepts or anything.

Classes are as follows:

Soldier
Infiltrator
Engineer
Medic

No, your class doesn't need to match your abilities. That's half the point here.

Character Sheet:

Name:

Age: (18+, No Elders, No need to be species specific, age can be 'human equivalent')

Species: (Listed species are found above)

Gender:

Class: (Also found above)

Image Reference:

Bio/Backstory:

Original 'Position': (Like Janitor, Engineer, Doctor, Whatever. Again, must be at least SOMEHOW tied to the military.)

New 'Position': (Like head of research, logistics, quartermaster, so on. Once more, does not need to match your skills or class, old or new.)

Equipment: (Keep it basic, no N7 special weapons or anything like that. That means no Black Widow. At the start. You can have one primary weapon, and one secondary weapon. So a Rifle, Shotgun, or Sniper or something, then a Pistol or SMG. HUMAN Andromeda weapons are also allowed, since they will be the same tech level as Reaper-War Milky Way.)

Other: (Anything else you feel is missing.)

Character Sheet:

Name: Detective Maximum "Max Rampage" Rampage

Age: 24

Species: Human

Class: Infiltrator (Martial Artist)

Image Reference:


Bio/Backstory: Before coming to the citadel, Det. Detective Maximum "Max Rampage" Rampage was a no-nonsense detective working in the crime and vice-ridden city of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. He did his job and he did his job damn well. Detective knew that corruption ran deep in his city but it didn't stop him from doing what he knew to be right law be damned. After beating up the mayor's son for smoking marijuana, he was given a one-way transfer to C-Sec where he wouldn't be able to step on anybody's toes and where nobody would have to deal with his maverick ways.

The transfer didn't stop or even discouraged Detective and he went to work in a one-man crusade against crime especially in the sin-filled slums of the silver slum strip. His work to rid silversun of crime must have been working too well because it wasn't a few months later the C-Sec chief brought Detective Detective into his office telling him how much of a loose cannon Detective was. Detective was then told he was going to be boarding a ship away from here otherwise the chief would have his badge and gun. He refused to listen to his chief and instead turned in his badge and gun, going out on his own terms as he signed up for the military to fight space crime with his fists.

Original 'Position': C-Sec Detective

New 'Position': Researcher

Equipment: Hardlight Knunchucks, Carnifex Heavy Pistol, Non-Hardlight fists!.

Other: Themesong per request.

I'll accept it if you do 3 things:

Change class to Infiltrator. Yes, you can put: Infiltrator "Detective"

Fill out the Equipment section. Even if it's just fists.

Add this as his theme song.

Hopefully sitting around and building stuff all day doesn't count as a little experience, right? Well if so I'll change her, sorry if the character is too military. Wanted to keep her with a very generic turian military lifestyle but find a way to keep her inexperienced with weapons, combat and all that. And a good way to have prideful hothead who talks shit and gets aggressive thinking they deserve more, because every misfit team needs one.
------------------------------------------
Character Sheet:

Name: Nalryn Algra

Age: 20

Species: Turian

Class: Engineer

Image Reference:


Bio/Backstory: Boot camp was the standard for Turian life, 15th birthday and off you go to basic. Nalyrn's life was no different, having grown up on Palaven and was a fervent patriot to the Turian Hierarchy, desperately trying to prove herself to be put with the best unit as possible, to be adequately used to further the causes of her people, to handle the stress and pressure of combat while being able to think and plan, forming solutions on the fly....

Aaand she was a complete failure, an over-emotional, ignorant, easily angered and dreadfully shameful failure. And as such, assigned furthest from any frontline, skirmish, or dangerous area of space as possible.

All that physical effort and thinking however dropped her right into the position of being a combat engineer! Heavy emphasis on combat, command didn't need her near any areas of contention, maybe construct a field base if the situation demanded. But shooting? Never. Nalyrn grew bitter as the years went on and her teen years of service were spent learning better ways to shovel foxholes and set up sandbags and makeshift cover, all while groaning in boredom. She had reached the age of twenty, the reaper invasion was swiftly confirmed and the fear settled in, she had found herself wanting, desperate to fight, desperate to find a enemy and shoot them up in a blaze of bloodlust-driven glory! Despite the fact war was far from such, but inexperience keeps her ignorant.

However, suddenly, work had been filed and the orders came through- she had been selected to join a vessel as one of the crew, to be enlisted in the help against the Reapers on missions specifically meant to really, seemingly, effect something in the galaxy. With all her pride and confidence, she packed her stuff with her and went on her way to join this frigate's recently added and haphazard crew.

But something seemed wrong, this wasn't a turian vessel nor any normal crew. Needing answers, she checked the information again, then the dread and realization had settled in. She was to be the ship's cook. Mess sergeant, chef, what have you, preparing the providing food, this hectic mess of a war had screwed up all the paperwork, right? How could all that effort assign her even farther from her dream of combat? Well, hopefully the complete lack of cooking experience wont cause any poisoning, or worse.

Original 'Position': Combat Engineer

New 'Position': Cook

Equipment: M-8 Predator

Looks good to me. It's fine that she has no actual combat experience, and seems to not know how actually horrible war is, at least, when you're the one fighting it especially.

I'm going to add a section I forgot, gender. Put it right between Species and Class, just

Gender:

@Dumb1And1Lazy@SpaceMan

Taking from another RP I'm in, would you two like to start a sort of downtime part of the RP where you can post as you wish around the Citadel while we wait on everything to be set up?

SpaceMan, I only just noticed this but in equipment, did you mean the M-3 Predator, or the M-8 Avenger? Cause you put a mix of the two, M-8 Predator.

I was thinking it would be a 4 person squad, and it ended up as a 5 person squad which is fine but beyond that we'll see about more in the future maybe xD

For now I'll set up an initial post.

By the way SpaceMan, your avatar and title basically sum up my thoughts on how combat is going to play out in this RP almost every single time.

Looks fine so far. Just let me know when you get the bio done and I'll give it another look. It doesn't need to be super in depth or anything. Or even super serious for that matter. Not that it shouldn't make sense, just you know, don't need to know everything about her.
