[color=white][indent][indent][indent][b]Mass Effect: Harpocrates[/b] is a series of stories set in the Mass Effect universe starting in 2183, three years before the devastating invasion of the Milky Way by the threat that will come to be known as the Reapers. Optimistically, the storylines presented will gradually take us through and past the events of the Reaper Invasion. 

Players will create individuals who have been recruited as part of a response team tasked with operations that range from search and rescue, investigation, subterfuge, and more.

[color=white][indent][indent][indent]This is the question that all six members of the Harpocrates Initiative will be asking themselves sooner or later.

Your character is a [b]specialist[/b]. A person who has spent their life trying to figure things out and as a byproduct obtained an assortment of skills that make them one of the very best at what they do and generally being the best at what they do gets guns pointed at them. Often. For one reason or another, your character is either in dire straits or consistently unhappy in whatever that current situation they are in and are receptive to getting a job offer–a discreet, low information job offer in their inbox from the ExoGeni Corporation, a interstellar company headquartered on Eden Prime. It is a curious one, given the peculiarities of the offer to meet with the chief CEO of the company as soon as possible. It doesn’t take long for them to be on route to Eden Prime within days of the message.

The offer, as it turns out, is on a “need-to-know” basis. NDA’s are signed. ExoGeni has a dire situation about an attacked facility of theirs. They need a response team that goes beyond their current operatives and one that is away from the eyes of accountability of both the Systems Alliance and any other governing body. Your character, being an independent contractor, is offered the job of a lifetime but it is also riskier than anything they’ve ever encountered before. Something about the job compels them to say yes beyond the pay. It isn’t long before they are suiting up for a job with seven other people. Seven other specialists.

And so it begins. [/indent][/indent][/indent][/color][indent][color=807F7F][b][h3]Operations Log[/h3][/b][/color][/indent]
[color=white][indent][indent][indent]To Be Determined![/indent][/indent][/indent][/color][indent][color=807F7F][b][h3]Character Sheet[/h3][/b][/color][/indent]
[color=white][indent][indent][indent]The [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4249796/raw]Character Sheet[/url] should be pretty straightforward. Only change the [code][color=yellow][/code] tag with your corresponding character color when creating your character application. [color=ed1c24]When posted in here for review, post in the [b]OOC[/b] in a [b]hider[/b] or it will be [b]automatically[/b] rejected.[/color]

Characters should be skilled individuals with flaws. I am [i]not[/i] looking for complete amoral psychopaths but well-rounded characters who have the ability to grow with the role-play and the decided cast of characters. if you have any questions regarding the content of the sections of the sheet please post the question here in the OOC or send me a message privately if needed. Additionally, characters will be limited to the following races for story convienances: [color=39b54a]Human[/color], [color=39b54a]Asari[/color], [color=39b54a]Turian[/color], [color=39b54a]Salarian[/color], [color=39b54a]Quarian[/color], [color=39b54a]Drell[/color], and [color=39b54a]Krogan[/color]. ExoGeni is not a “Humanity First” organization, but they are a human corporation so keep that in mind if you want. It won't effect acceptance.
