The Spirits Within

A little late to announce. now but my post is up to

The Spirits Within

Aaron took Freddy's insult in stride and in some ways took it more as a compliment. He understood that Freddy was one of those people that operated under the mindset of 'if I didn't like ya' I would scream at ya'. As the others began to file out of the admin office Aaron began to leave himself when he witnessed what would be by far the most hilarious thing he would most likely see in a long while. Thael being the kind hearted person that he was walked over to Freddy and gave him a hug in the most sincere and loving fashion, the funny part was Freddy's reaction. If anyone else was to come around the corner and see the exact same thing that Aaron was witnessing, he thought, it would look like someone was stabbing Fred with a rusty screw-driver and twisting it. Aaron stayed and watched the inner struggle rage in Freddy's head trying his hardest not to fall on the floor laughing. That was something that he would have to screw with Fred about later.

Remembering that he was on a deadline, Aaron quickly made his way back to his room and and changed into his official military attire. The room itself was stark and bland since he had no roommate and tended to keep his focus on what he had to do. As he folded his beret onto his belt and began to make his way out the door he paused in front of the mirror hanging on the door. The over all attire was something that made Aaron swell with pride, he had finally achieved his goal of becoming a WARG operative and he was one step closer to getting his revenge on the aliens that had stripped him and his friends of the most precious thing to them.

'I'm almost there Sam. One day soon I will be able destroy all of those damned monsters that took you from us, and I will do it so that none of our friends will have to suffer. Even if I have to kill them all on my own.'

As if on cue, a voice rose in the back of Aaron's mind and without even having to think about it he knew exactly who it was.

'You know that's not a healthy way to live Aaron.'

'I know...but its not fair that Liv and the others should have to fight and suffer. If I can fight for them and save them from all of the pain and suffering then why shouldn't I bear that weight for them?'

'Its not just about you Aaron. I know that you have been angry since that day but you have to learn to let go of that anger and let your friends bear some of that weight with you.'

Aaron let out a loud audible sigh because he knew that 'Sam' was right. All of the things that his friends were going to have to go through now that they were soldiers made him anxious and scared for them. Aaron had to grow up quickly since he never had parents and had to do things for himself. While some like Freddy, Puck and Fuzzy he wasn't worried about, Thael and Olivia he believed were not ready for actual combat.
Suddenly realizing that he was still on a schedule, Aaron quickly ran to the weapons store room and retrieved his two favorite short blades, then turned on a dime then bolted towards the main entrance of the campus. Once again Aaron silently fell in line with the others hoping that it would go unnoticed that he wasn't always there.

'Damn it! I have got to stop running late like this.'

As Aaron continued to berate himself he was reminded of where he was when Field Marshal Sawyer came in barking the details of their assignment. While he went through his speech Aaron kept himself at perfect parade rest doing everything that he could to not bring attention to himself. As Sawyer became more and more insulting and berating it was everything that Aaron could do not jump out of line and defend his friends from the overbearing asshole in front of them. Just as before a voice rang in his head,

'That would be a very bad idea Aaron and you know that. Curb your tongue for just a minute longer and you can be done with him.'

Taking "Sam's" advice he held his tongue and let him finish. When Sawyer was done with going over the details with them he let them loose and sent them on their way. Aaron's eyes narrowed on the door as it slowly opened up showing the grey stormy skies above them, he couldn't wait to get started.
====================================================================================================================
[c]Ch. 2: Departure[/c]

The skies above them showed signs that a storm was right around the corner which made their trek through the Doral farmland even more urgent that the group make haste. Aaron continued lost in his thoughts as the group began traversing up and down the rolling hills of the farmland, and as they crested the top of a particularly large hill Aaron took a moment to eye what was to be their destination. In the distance a small antenna could be seen which was some sort of radio transmitter (or so Aaron believed), that was Doral. As time progressed Aaron continued to watch his new Captain slowly degrade into the lazy youth that they all deep in their hearts knew they were, although Aaron believed that it was a bit more than the hike that was beginning to wear down Olivia. As Aaron started to walk up and try to talk to Olivia Freddy made the same move and began to carry on his own conversation with her.

'I guess I'll talk to her later. God knows that Freddy will talk enough for the both of us.'

Not much time had passed before Olivia finally succumbed to the attitude of her age and plopped herself down on the dirt road, loudly signaling that it was time to take a rest. As the rest of the group began to find comfortable places to sit and wait for their Captain to signal the march again Aaron looked out over the distance towards Doral.

'At this rate it will take forever to get there, and if the skies decide to unload a storm on top of us then I'd imagine Olivia and the others will be even unhappier.'

Aaron thought as he looked around at the group of friends. Freddy began 'shouting' at Olivia about this forced break and Aaron could see Olivia become more and more agitated with him. The sight brought an uncontrollable smile to Aaron's lips, something just wouldn't change. As Olivia sent Freddy on a BS assignment to climb a tree to get a better idea of their position Aaron finally saw his chance for a little bit of privacy with Olivia. As Freddy took off towards the Birch tree some thirty meters away, shouting new and imaginative curses as he went, Aaron slowly walked up to Olivia who was still laying on her side trying to nod off to sleep.

As he made his way over to her he could feel his heart begin to race, his palms start pouring sweat and his throat begin to dry out. He hoped that it wouldn't impede his conversation.

"I will never understand where he comes up with these creative curses, eh Liv?"

Mass Effect: Wanted

I just might...at this point I'm just spitballing ideas at the moment cause this is one of my favorite games ever

Mass Effect: Wanted

Would it be possible to almost make a new class depending on the character? I know thatthere is a class of tech/biotics but I have an idea to merge the agent subclass with the vanguard

Mass Effect: Wanted

As a question Echo would a vanguard be better suited to be an assassin or soldier? I've been pondering it since I made Roku and his story and thought process (to me) feels like an infiltrator or an agent and I'm trying to decide if I should retool him a bit.

Mass Effect: Wanted

I noticed...I'm starting to wonder if I should either change races or classes. I do have ideas for a quarian or salarian bur I fear that my ideas are to "vanilla" since they would similar to what the races are already known for

The Spirits Within

Ador I think that reference just made everything about my basis on inspiration worth it. Icouldn't stop laughing

Mass Effect: Wanted

Yeh I went back and looked and realized there was. Although I also found that there also three other drell. I think I'm going to have a hard run with getting my app through lol

Mass Effect: Wanted

Appearance:

Background:

Roku was born on Kahje in the year 2143 CE. From the time he was born he was groomed to be a political assassin for key hanar representatives on the Citadel, since he was born with biotic abilities. For the better half of his childhood he was trained by the very best that the hanar could buy; combat training from asari commandos and turian soldiers, schooling and the latest Bio-Amp and Omni-tool developed by salarians, and in-depth knowledge of the ins and outs of the galactic economy by volus traders. By the time he reached the age of eighteen Roku had become a well oiled tool for the hanar to use.

On the day after he turned eighteen he was immediately sent to the Citadel where he quickly began carrying out orders of major hanar members, protecting them at key conferences and speaking arrangements, silently eliminating threats to hanar legislature, even taking part in coups on and off the Citadel. For five years Roku lived the life of a dutiful drell living up to his end of the Compact serving the needs of the hanar and for those few years he was happy. One day while taking a routine assassination of a local "street-gang" leader under the control of a volus councilman, Roku walked into a trap which was designed to be the death of him. Unaware that the councilman had hired a group of krogan mercenaries who's soul purpose was to eliminate Roku.

Roku barely escaped having to rely on very taxing biotics which brought a great deal attention to himself which brought C-SEC into a full fledged investigation into the activities of the hanar council-members that employed Roku. When he returned to his apartment at the Citadel a message was waiting for him informing him that he was no longer in the employ of the hanar government and that he was to return all of his equipment including his Omni-tool and Bio-amp and that failure to comply would bring the fullest diplomatic and criminal sanctions upon him.

Now facing something that he had never had to face before, Roku quickly boarded a ship and left the Citadel in search of a life beyond that which had been laid out for him. Roku soon found his way to Omega and into the employ of Aria as a low level enforcer, however he quickly rose through the ranks as he became a better assassin. Over the next six years as he more and more proficient in his craft and he actually began earning his own money through Aria and her contacts Roku began to revel in the life of an assassin for hire and soon after his thirtieth birthday Roku disappeared from Aria's radar.

Soon after tales began to surface around of a mysterious group of assassins that were taking the underworld of Omega one crimelord at a time. This group with no name and led by a shadowy figure who's only name was Avatar began working their way up the ranks of Omega, although it wasn't until one of Aria's lieutenants showed up dead at her doorstep that she began to take notice. For four and a half years Avatar and Aria traded kills which left the streets of Omega in a state of constant war. With his confidence, as well as his arrogance, at an all time high Roku gathered his best combatants and stormed Afterlife in the hopes to finally put an end to Aria's reign. As Roku and Aria squared off it was clear that Roku was no match and was quickly subdued, but before Aria could finish Roku off he escaped and quickly made it off world.
Roku was left beaten and bruised charted a course to the last place he could think that would harbor someone with his set of skills, Cartagena Station, where he has spent the last six months. While his contacts are not as encompassing as they were on Omega, Roku has been able to scrounge up a few contacts although he has not gone back into assassinations.
