@PrivateVentures You might wanna slow down between posts a bit, you're replying every 2-3 posts when others haven't even had a chance to get their intros done. I know it's not a set posting schedule, but you should give people a chance to reply, especially where dialog is concerned. Picturing the scene, it doesn't really make sense for someone to say something, and then have everyone else cut off by the same character before they get a chance to pipe up.

This is why one should never spend more than 15-20min on a postie from my experience xD

@Rithy

Thing will slow down, they always do.

I'm used to games going like a week or more between posts because Advanced is usually where slow farts like myself like to congregate so we have time to write things out without a care in the world.

Now I've found myself in a paradoxical world where people pop out Advanced quality and length posts at a Free pace.

Captain's log, what even is this planet.

I am very confused. Is everyone entering through the entrance downwards leading to the station? Or through the tunnels? My character is entering through the tunnels but I may be wrong in assuming that Ellis is reacting to people coming from the Station entrance?

Otherwise, I might need to rewrite my whole entry post XD

@SgtEasy

Rykarn is going to become a ninja turtle and go through the tunnels, partially because the front entrance seems too obvious and a good place for a choke point, and also that he's relatively familiar with the tunnels from prior experiences, namely taking part in security sweeps.

@Silver Fox

Me too, I tend to read my finished post outloud before I post it, and with that said I'm currently wait for my Dragon that should arrive in the mail in the next few days.

@Arcarius

You can get dragons in the mail?

Daenerys was going about this all wrong.

@Silver Fox

1-2 hours on a postie is a concept that is entirely alien to me xD

I try to keep mine relatively short! That way more people can react to my shenanigans! :>

@Rithy

It took me about ~3 hours to write up my character sheet, not counting editing, and I usually take a few hours to pump out one of my usual posts, mostly because I tend to take breaks and come back with fresh minds.

Also, I notice you tend to use exclamation points like they give you money. I'm going to pretend you're suuuuper caffeinated and excited.

A'right, I'm starting on my post now. Hopefully I don't get ninja'd too hard in the process.

6 IC posts?

Egads. They're breeding.

The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

<Snipped quote by Peik>

Fruits of Contention is just Gcold's outlet for his hatred of Eskimos and Canadians.

@Frizan

But he is le Canadien.

A fake one living in BC, but Canadian nevertheless.

I'm going to work on the next part of the ship shenanigans soonish.

Sorry about that. I made a human because I'm pretty unfamiliar with most of the species in the ME universe, at least unfamiliar to the finer points of their culture. I'll learn as Ellis learns.

I'm glad you like my idea. Could also prove interesting on the battlefield, as they learn to work together, one another's strengths and weaknesses and such.

Is this side arc @BlackSam3091 approved?

@PrivateVentures

No worries! I just noticed a Sam was calling him by his clan name, thought I'd get that back on track before it became a running gag haha.

And learning with a character is a pretty fun way of doing it! Sometimes I learn something new even about stuff in settings I love because of passion others have for it. :D

Mass Effect: Underworld

@DarkFey

Yup although he has quickly severed any ties to family and such. He does not consider him his brother and Balak does not consider him family either.

I will explore his family past and such plus current relations as I develop the character further through roleplaying :)

@PrivateVentures

I always viewed the Batarians as that. Straight to the point.

By the way, I'm a huge nerd when it comes to making up religions, history and culture inspired by others in our history. So you'll see more of the deep inner beliefs of Ja'Far as we roleplay

@SgtEasy

Remind me to notify you whenever I relaunch one of my cosmic horror filled fantasy RPs that is filled to the brim with real world influenced cultures and races. I'm a sucker for that kinda stuff >.>

Mass Effect: Underworld

Rykarn. Ravanor is his clan name, e.g Urdnot Wrex.

Techy meet and greets could prove to be amusing between mission interludes. ;D

Mass Effect: Underworld

Oh geez. I guess I might join but I'm sooooo rusty and busy. I'll write up a character and look over my schedule so that I have more time to relax and write and finally do some RP.

I hope y'all will accept an old Guilder soul <3

EDIT: By the way, I'm a bit fuzzy on ME lore at the moment (probably because it's 1 am in the morning here meaning I'm sleeping soon XD). I don't remember but did the Batarian Hegemony reborn into a new thing after the Reapers defeat?

And yeah, I'm really wanting to try a Batarian somehow though exploring the religion, culture and caste system of their species will be pretty darn interesting.

@SgtEasy

If I remember correctly, the batarians are arguably the species hit hardest by the Reapers. Their isolation from galactic civilization plus being the first systems hit left them with no allies or means to escape. The ultimate fate of the batarian worlds isn't really clear how many, if anyone, survived in Hegemony space. The survivors are largely the pockets of batarians living in the Terminus Systems and Citadel refugees and what was left of their fleet.

I'd pretty much put money on their government having utterly collapsed and surviving batarians either integrating with other colonies and species like the drell did or trying to resettle a planet that still had decent infrastructure and asking for help rebuilding and resettling at the cost of a new government. Their rigid caste system might take a huge hit from either Citadel pressure or that their lack of numbers forces a change because the power vacuum pretty much gives lower castes a chance to take power or cripple the influence of the high castes.

I'm not sure what the GMs had planned for post Reaper batarians, but that's what I remember/ speculate. I'm handy with the lore but I'm not an authority by any means.

@POOHEAD189

I had a geth Juggernaut named Optimus because he was a Geth Prime. I had him painted red and blue, too.

...I really need to replay ME3's multiplayer.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@Rithy It's a good point, although I'm not sure how many people knew what the Reapers were trying to accomplish outside of the Normandy gang. I think most people would just see angry space cuttlefish that want to turn you all into robozombies and rule the galaxy.
