MASS EFFECT: KINGSLAYER


OPENING
In the year 2183, the Citadel Council revokes the Spectre status of their prized agent after evidence surfaced of his assault against a human colony. The first human Spectre is ordered to either eliminate or capture the rogue agent—no matter the cost. However, during a race against time, C-Sec unearths a major leak within the Council that reveals an old contact of the rogue Spectre was intercepting reports filed by the human Spectre. Realizing that someone managed to infiltrate the governing body causes the councilors to act immediately.

In a classified location, the councilors (along with the human ambassador) meet with Venari Pallin, executor of C-Sec, to initialize Operation Kingslayer. Further digging reveals that the rogue agent was using his resources within the Citadel and C-Sec to undermine both the human Spectre and the Council. Kingslayer's purpose is to eradicate Saren's remaining influence upon Citadel space. But, it needs individuals capable of fighting tooth and nail to complete the objective and stand firm against a rogue Spectre.

Individuals that are willing to become kingslayers...


INFORMATION
With the release of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and replaying the trilogy again, I am reminded once more that I love the series so much. So, I decided to focus my energy on Kingslayer (an idea that I had in my head for a year). Influenced mainly by Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Narcos, I want to tell a story of the Citadel Council being forced to get their hands dirty. And create a task force (fireteam?) to respond to Saren's transactions within Citadel Space. Of course, Commander Shepard is still around and hunting down the rogue Spectre.

But, a different type of individual is required to deal with accountants, financial backers, and bookkeepers, along with the occasional corrupt C-Sec officers and mercenaries. In this case, several are needed.

A team will be assembled that isn't tied directly to the Citadel Council and easily discarded if they end up failing. The species doesn't matter as long as their record is near perfection in order to ruin Saren's empire (Of course, though, you won't see geth or yahg within the group. If you want to play hanar, volus, or elcor, you need to consider their limitations and work extra hard on your sheet). But still, they need to be mindful of their actions and decisions or face the wrath of the Council themselves (and C-Sec, if you fuck around with them).


GUILDLINES
– Forum rules apply
– No godmodding, meta-gaming, mary/gary sues, etc.
– Romance with other character and NPCs are allowed
– Your characters can die if they aren't careful and do something foolish
– Equipment must be limited to the first game (no M-96 Mattock, for example). No high level weapons.
– Powers, on the other hand, aren't limited.
– Approved species only. No geth, collectors, etc. Hanar, volus, or elcor are allowed as long you have considered their limitations and the sheet is excellent.
– Your characters aren't technically working for the Council and C-Sec. Basically, if you are gonna committee crimes in the name of the Citadel Council, just know that the Council will easily discredit your words.
– And that means no access to Spectre gear, status, and privileges. But, you're being paid.
– If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

I have been craving something Mass Effect-related and might even have something of an idea for a character for this.

So I'll put down my interest.

Yes, yes, yes! I've been itching for a Mass Effect RP. I've been wanting to play a Quarian for a bit, so I'm definitely interested.

Cool, I will start working on the character sheets and hopefully finish them soon.

Quick question: how would you feel if the roleplay was moved to advanced (chances of this actually happening are very low though, just wanna know)?

I'm pretty confident in my writing abilities, so I don't have any problems with it moving to Advanced.

Rtron has sent this to me and I might be interested. Kicking doors in sounds like a lot of fun.

Well, it's good to see people interested! I will have the ooc, along with the character sheet, up tomorrow. As for the number of people that I'm accepting, it's going to be 5-6 characters (might be one more but that depends on a lot of things).

And the roleplay will remain casual.

I'd prefer it to be Casual, but I supposed I'd be alright with Advanced. Happy that it's remaining Casual.

I'm excited. :P

Well, I hate to say it but the OOC won't be posted today. I have to rework the characters' place of living and my character isn't done. However, I did manage to finish the character sheet. So, if you wish to start working on your character, go ahead! Just be sure to read the guidelines. Just make sure not to use anime pictures for your character.

I should note a couple of things:
1. All abilities are hard-locked to the class you selected.

2. Some of the weapons from the second game are allowed (like the M-12 Locust) but I will decide which weapons would've been around during the events of the first game.

3. I should mention this detail before I forget. All of the characters will be living in a former C-Sec safehouse (aka a three bedroom middle-class income apartment) within a district (still deciding what name to use) on Bachjret Ward. There will be a ship for us to travel to other worlds with, but it's a standard freighter that isn't designed for long-term living.

Any idea if we'll see a Discord server being made for this, or recognized if one of us did it?

I'd prefer there be no discord server since they could be distracting. Unless a majority of you guys think otherwise.
