Greetings! Should you receive this message, it means that you have been selected from many a skilled individual across the terminus systems, for a operation that I, Saris Fen, plan to put together.

You have seen the terminus systems, the horrendous mess that they have become since the end of the reaper war. My, when Commander Shepard turned those bastards into scrap, i honestly expected things to improve around here. Instead, they have only gotten worse. Plenty of veterans of that war have turned pirate, probably due to the fact they don't have anything to shoot anymore. The damned hegemony (no offense intended to any Batarians this has been sent to) continues their slavery habit. Not even losing Khar'Shan and fighting alongside every race in the galaxy can make them kick that...

I'm getting off topic, to put it bluntly, i plan to do something about all this. Myself, you, and many other extremely skilled individuals will roam the terminus systems, bringing justice to anyone to attempts to exploit the innocent.

If you don't want to fight for justice, fair enough. You can fight for the astronomical sum I plan to pay you when this is finished. I care not for your background, race, ideals, only that you are willing to do this job.

Should you wish to join this endeavor, in exactly three weeks from receiving this message, please make your way to docking bay 26 on Omega, in the upper section.

I eagerly await your answer. I sincerely hope you make the right choice.

Saris Fen- CEO of Fen Futuristics


_______________________________
Mass Effect Seraphim is an RP revolving around a group of individuals, hired by a incredibly wealthy Volus to bring peace to the terminus systems, by any means necessary. It is set six years after Mass Effect's 3 story, with the ending being a slight modification of the destroy ending (which will be explained below)

Though the RP will start on Omega, the team will get a ship, and travel all across the terminus systems, ranging from Illium to Rannoch, and maybe even a few places outside the systems, including places even Shepard never went.

Though you cant use any canon characters (obviously) they can be in your character backstory if you so wish. Otherwise, i want to leave character creation as open as i possibly can, with almost any race or abilities (within canon) being allowed, though some of the more...powerful, will need a good explanation. They would also need a good reason to be part of this group, even if that reason is just "Get Paid or die trying"

I have a story line and antagonistic characters in mind, but i am open to suggestions, and characters can have their own sub-plots if they so wish. Id like the RP to go a certain direction, but i don't really mind players being independent if they like.

@Vulkan Are there going to be any guidelines with Powers? Which Powers we can use, and how much we can use them, etc? I feel like things could get a little out of hand without some guidelines to follow.

I am more interested at this point, though.

Well, no ones Shepard, so you cant fire warps every second if you only have a pistol. Biotics will drain you immensely if you use them a lot, and omni tools have to cool down when it comes to tech powers.

You can have around eight powers, and they can be anything from the main ME single player. Powers belonging to bonus powers and multiplayer in the games, are a bit rarer, and may need explanation (e.g. this human needs an explanation why they use Batarian blade armor). Doesn't have to be a intricate excuse, but it would be helpful if you had one.

And obviously, powers have to kind of fit your class. I can forgive soldiers packing incinerate or adepts with special ammo, but you cant have this engineer fire singularities. You need to at least be a sentinel for that.

Name: Ashton Andrews

Race: Human

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Artwork Originally of Jason Levasseur from Moonlight Apparition, a webcomic made by one Darkhalo4321; all credit given to her.


Personality: Ashton is brave to the point of foolishness, smart to the point of smugness. Raised with the values of a middle-class human teenager, the boy was taught the basic elements of 'right' and 'wrong' but has since learned of the existence of moral grey. But despite learning of moral greys, Ashton is still innocent and naive, and knows it; he knows that he is unprepared to tackle Omega without help. But nevertheless, he is determined to survive and even thrive if given the chance, and eventually pursue his personal objectives...

Backstory: Ashton can remember a life back on Earth, a happy and privileged life with friends and videogames and school. It was uneventful until the Reapers came, and the boy was torn from his roots as he and his parents fled the planet in a hasty evacuation. The next few years were a whirlwind of privations and movements in a refugee convoy, where the boy quickly eluded his parents' attempts to shield him from hardship and found an apprenticeship as a locksmith and programmer, helping make facilities more secure. In time, his mentor, a Batarian outcast nicknamed 'Rigger', began giving him more concrete lessons not just on cyber-security, but security in general.

When the Reaper Invasion ended, Ashton and his parents went back to Earth to rebuild their lives, but he never forgot Rigger. As the young man continued his lessons in security and cybersecurity over the Extranet, he also realized that what can be used to keep intruders and hackers out can be used to let them in. This lesson, though basic, was irrelevant for a time... Until news reached him that Rigger had disappeared into Omega itself. Knowing that his parents, or most of Humanity, would not allow a child to go off alone to rescue a Batarian, Ashton knew he had to arrange his departure from Earth as discreetly as possible.

He then began taking on cyber-security and security jobs over the Extranet, using an anonymous identity: Aegis. As Aegis, he protected several business establishments from hackers and thieves, and even managed to receive a payment from a mid-level bank in exchange for preventing a major heist even before it began. But even as he pocketed the money from these jobs, he was researching Omega, looking for an opportunity to go on a trip to the 'heart of the Terminus Systems'.

Opportunity arrived when one of his uncles who had been seperated from the rest of his family by the Reaper War and subsequent population displacements was reported to have turned up in Illium, and Ashton's father decided to visit his brother and take Ashton with him. Ashton saw it as his chance to slip away and rescue his old mentor. So upon arrival in Illum's spaceport, Ashton carefully slipped away just as his father was distracted by a toilet break, although he did leave behind a moderately-encrypted note saying where he was going and what he was doing.

Evading both police and criminals by a mix of lying, bribery, and taking calculated risks, Ashton slowly made his way towards the Terminus Systems, doing more security and cyber-security jobs as Aegis as he did so. His last operation was to do some work for a PMC Company working in Omega, in the hopes that he can get their services as 'security' in return.

But then his luck ran out. The PMC that he had done work for, and planned to hire, found out that not only was he Aegis himself, but also working alone. And as they were the unscrupulous type of PMC, they planned to enslave him and sell him off to the highest bidder in response. But Ashton, in a fit of justified paranoia, managed to plant a bot in their closed network that notified him that he was going to be kidnapped, and so the young man managed to give his would-be captiors the slip... Only to find himself in Omega and without any way to survive, much less rescue Rigger. Was this the end for him?

Specialty: Infilitrator

Powers/Skills: Ashton is an expert in security and cyber-security, which translates to hacking, infilitration, and preventing the same things from happening to his side. Although not a good pistol shot or knife user like actual professional infilitrators, Ashton has the brains to compensate for that, and is able to act as mission control or a direct agent. He is also reasonably athletic.

Equipment: Civilian attire including a knife-proof vest underneath his clothes, a backpack containing food and water rations, a miniature flashlight that can be used to blind enemies or as a club, meta-material rope, omni-tool and miniature personal computer, and a stolen pistol from the PMC he ran away from.

Misc:

"I've never seen a hacker I can't keep away," - Personal Quote.

I added a personality "Bit" to the template, so you might want to fill that in before it goes in the char tab. Otherwise though, accepted.

Accepted, though the academy in Cicero's backstory sounds a bit...competent, by hegemony standards.

@Starlance

Accepted. The platform itself sounds like a spare body for legion. xD

Either that, or maybe the Geth wanted one (well, one thousand and change) of theirs in Andromeda? Maybe a "diplomatic" platform built after Shepard brokered the peace? Guess we'll never know :D

Geth 1: We finished the body designed to go to Andromeda.

Geth 2: Yeah...about that, do you really think that operation is going to work? It seems rather...desperate.

Geth 1: Oh thank the creators, i thought i was the only one that thought that. Dump the chassis in the basement, i'm sure we can use it later.

I haven't seen any claims that the Hegemony is lacking technologically, and they even have some of their own armor/weapon designs on the market in the citadel, and I don't recall anything similar from the Hanar, Elcor, or Drell. They're just insular, tyranically so, citizens aren't allowed to leave and everything is censored, meaning the majority of Batarians we meet are outlaws, pirates, slavers, generally just rule-breakers, or they're Hegemony agents or spokesmen- sometimes they're both. I'm not claiming they're actually good and decent brainiacs behind their wall of censorship, but I don't think it's fair to depict an entire species at the epitome of evil and ineptitude as Bioware have done either.

That said, the Academy is a very exclusive private upper caste school :P, not exactly a standard representation of what the Hegemony makes available to everyone, and the staff went like two whole years without discovering one of their slaves had a baby, and have you ever tried to hide a baby? I haven't, because those things be loud and smelly and needy, iow; difficult to hide.

I get what you mean though, I make no assumptions that Cicero's education will be nearly as good as someone from one of the Council species. All that censorship, xenophobia, and isolationism would definitely have left him at a handicap education-wise, but he's had two years in the Terminus to beef up his repertoire with some on hands experience working with xeno-biology and the free extranet, so hopefully that's good enough to compensate!

And ye, I missed the personality addition but I'll edit it now. o7

@Vulkan I'm working on an Asari who used to be one of the clones that came from the Thorian, but survived her encounter with Shepard. RN I'm researching the lore on the Thorian, Shiala, the clones and Zhu's Hope to see if I can make it work out. Are you cool with the idea?

@AWACS
Zhu's hope is a bit of a blind spot in my ME knowledge, but that sounds somewhat plausable.

@Rune_Alchemist

I have to go offline soon, but send me what you like and I'll take a look when I can.
