A Mass Effect Roleplay with a Horror Twist.

2184CE
Location: Milky Way / Exodus Cluster / Asgard System / Loki

- You have enlisted to join a freelance Asari captain on her ship, the Caelestis, to investigate a distress signal.

- You and a small group are travelling towards the strange planet, when things begin to run afoul...

- You may suspect that something is wrong, and you may try to convince the Captain to turn the ship around...

- Maybe you are the kind of person who will run toward the danger...

- Whoever you are, you must fight to keep your wits about you and survive.







Welcome to Caelestis!


How to Apply:


See in the hider my Character Sheet. Feel free to make this your own, as long as the things I've listed are included in your character application, you're golden.

Applications are not first come first served. I will be setting a timeframe for interested players to make their character sheet, and at the end of it I'll review and pick the players based on strength of application. If you're joining us and you see a lot of applications, do not be put off!

I try to make my sheets as simple as possible, and I'm not asking for essays. I like to come away from a sheet believing that you understand your character and what makes them tick, what they want, where they came from, and where they're heading. What I want to see are characters with rich history and personality, so I tend to extend a hand of trust to you, the writer, to create that. I don't want to see overpowered Billy and Barbara Badasses, and a general rule of thumb that I hold my players to is if you want an ability or a skill - back it up in your history section. Make me believe it.

Show Consideration: This will be a small group roleplay. I'm talking 5-6, possibly 7. If you are someone who is likely to get tangled in outside commitments, if you have a limited schedule, please take that into consideration when you apply for this roleplay. I completely understand that shit happens to us all from time to time, but I will remove players for inactivity.

So Who Am I?
This roleplay will be centred around characters who are freelancers. So, if you're planning on applying for a character who is an N7/Spectre/Blood Pack etc etc then you're going to be shit out of luck. You must be a character who has the capacity to take on a freelance contract for an *extended* period of time. That's not to say your character couldn't have once been in a gang, or military - they just can't be anymore.

I'm also extremely interested in seeing applications from Utility Style characters. Chefs, Cleaners, Mechanics, Doctors. If playing a combat character is not your bag, you're still 100% welcome here.







Rules:

  • No Godmodding or Powerplaying. This is a story, not a competition. Keep your characters balanced. I don't want to enforce strict rules that stifle your creativity in creating a character, I will always be reasonable and work with you to create a compelling character with the skills that you want but you have to be prepared to tone things down if necessary.
  • This is advanced level, so I'm looking for people who can commit not only to advanced standards, but to the roleplay long term. Posting expectations are a post every 2 weeks. If we can have a faster pace then great, but I want all selected players to be on board together.
  • Be considerate, communicate. If you can't post for whatever reason, just let me know. If you're working on collabs with other players, let them know too.
  • Be kind. I really, really, really don't want dick behaviour in the OOC, it doesn't foster the kind of atmosphere I like to create. So be nice to each other, respectful, and helpful. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I will remove people who start ruining the groove.
  • Keep it PG-13. You know the rules of the guild. No naughty posts in the IC. If you really have to, take it to PM.


Noteworthy:

  • Due to the setting of this game, please be aware that your characters will be exposed to perilous situations from time-to-time. They can get hurt, they can get very hurt. Please be mindful when engaging in combat of your skills and setbacks, and who is around to help you should you get very hurt.
  • Please no prior relationships with canonical characters from any of Mass Effect games. If you wish to write up prior relationships with other player characters within the game, then by all means please do so as it can be fun. But it's also just as fun to be ~total strangers~...

From what a brief google shows me, it's kind of a mix. So it's a tech ability, but then you'd need the correct equipment to use it. But for the sake of a roleplay, you can be a Vorcha with a flamethrower without taking away an ability if you'd like. That's not farfetched to me, in purely narrative setting.

Presumably between the times of the First Contact War and Reapers exterminating the galaxy. Presumably.

Hmmm, though previously I wanted to do an epic sadist vorcha biotic I'm also thinking of an old human or drell janitor who's too old for this shit. Flip of the coin

Okay I'll probably stick with the vorcha because I already had an idea of backstory and stuff and it'll the first time in a while I've got to play someone who's genuinely a pretty bad person

@The Ghost Note Bearing in mind I'm not the GM so take this as more of a friendly observation, Maya's 34 and would have been born in 2150CE; humanity wouldn't begin colonizing other planets until 2152CE, where it would be Demeter, Eden Prime, or Terra Nova as potential birthplaces. Not a huge discrepancy or anything, but Maya would realistically have to be a couple years younger and it might make a bit more sense to her run in with pirates/ slavers being on a ship rather than a colony at this juncture.
