Yeah, I feel as if there are too many simple mistakes (that I somehow miss). Once I wake up, I will re-read my post and edit it heavily. Until then, enjoy!

Mass Effect: Underworld

Well, I just posted and it's almost my bedtime.

EDIT: Also, I feel like there are somehow mistakes that I normally don't make. However, I am too tired to read my post several times.

Rol'Naaris was peacefully on his onmi-tool for a good ten seconds before the human said something ridiculous that caused him to look away from the device. Then he found the human had indeed gone mad as he pointed his pistol at him. He turned towards the group and said quietly, "If I do not receive an explanation, I will be more inclined to shoot this fellow. I do not want to, but I am extremely uncomfortable with the current state of affairs."

Rol'Naaris was now questioning the man's mental health state and how two Spectres agents thought it was okay to allow a crazed man to join. Still sitting down, he looked at the man and his pistol while demanding that the batarian answer his question. While he was speaking towards the group, Rol'Naaris could not help but hear a faint beeping sound nearby him. He looked around for the source but could not find it anywhere and resumed looking at the human.

"I want to be peaceful. I really do."

"If you really want to be 'peaceful,' then you should put down the gun before you get killed." Rol'Naaris said towards the human as he stood up and grabbed his shotgun before he could do anything. He slowly walked towards the human while trying to defuse the situation (or piss him off even more), "If you shoot me, how are you going to explain it to the Spectre agents—the ones that took allow you to be a part of the task force despite your issues. But, you are not going to do it because you are scared of the consequences. I'd suggest that you pull your gun down before you cause more trouble. Please listen-."

Rol'Naaris was interrupted by a sudden explosion that caused one of the water pipes to break and the tunnel to shake up. The fire alarm and sprinkler system came on at the meeting site, which was most likely ruined now. Was this our first test? How will each of us react to a random explosion? Have they been watching this entire time?! Rol'Naaris looked around and then at the human as he slowly back away while holding his shotgun. He said in disappointment from himself and the human, "This is getting us nowhere. Just... just leave me alone."

The quarian made sure to get out of that heated situation before it turned into a bloodbath. He sat against the wall and looked at the group for afar until he saw something that looked like a geth. It can't be one of them.... right? Rol'Naaris thought before he came closer towards the group and spoke. Oh no, it is one of them This day just got a whole lot worse from a human—that wanted him dead—to a geth. He had wished that the human shot him than to discover that a geth is in the group. Then, another addition to the group soon joined and found the meeting location in a state of chaos. Maybe he could hit the human in the head to shut him up before he shoots someone on accident.

When the krogan mentioned the explosion, Rol'Naaris looked at the damage and thought about his theory for minutes. What if it was all a test for someone within the group to show off their leadership skills and have a good first impression? Rol'Naaris didn't have leaderships skills within him, but he was a good strategist. That had to count for something, right? He stood back up and went towards the krogan before he spoke up. "Maybe the explosion is our first test? Who is naturally the better leader? Who else could of set off that explosion besides two Spectre agents? Plus, there are some tensions within this group. Maybe that our potential leader could temporary fix them? Then again, it could just be a random explosion."

The quarian stood next to the krogan in case the human tried something again and waited for a response of any kind.

The sidewalks of Baker Street in London were full of people of all races and species, getting to their destination. A lone quarian turned the corner of Baker and Marylebone and kept on walking passing several homeless people. Baker Street was full of people that wanted to check out the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Rol'Naaris went to the grand re-opening of the museum a couple of days ago and loved it. The tan-colored armor made him stood out of place, not to mention the right shoulder pad being taller than the left one. Strangers took a quick glance at Rol'Naaris during his time at the museum. Normally, people would question why a quarian is outside of their fleet; since the Battle of Earth, however, people just smiled or mind their own business. It felt good to not get looks of confused and disgusted for once.

Instead of going to the museum (again), Rol'Naaris was looking for some shuttle port station. He walked forward and used his omni-tool for directions towards the place. London was a new place that Rol'Naaris visited during his time at Earth since the battle. He was too busy rebuilding at Alexandria and traveling all over to go to London. In fact, he had no plans on stopping there at the moment until the Spectre agents decided to set the meeting location there. The city was still healing for the Reapers and several skyscrapers were still under construction. He had dreamed of going to Earth during his youth. He just wished that they were under different circumstances.

The shuttle port was still under construction as tools and hard hats were on a table near the stairs to the old underground station. Rol'Naaris looked at the darkness and heard some noises. He decided to stay above ground and looked for anyone else that were a part of the meeting. Plus, he knew that there might be a shit ton of rodents. And he despised them since they were carrying diseases that could easily kill someone in the matter of days. It only lasted a few minutes until he heard more noises. He got off of the table and walked towards the stairs. While going downstairs, he pulled out his shotgun and carefully carried it. He wanted extra protection if things went south or it turned out to be a trap. Of course, it was not a trap, but he wanted to plan ahead.

Just in case...

It was until Rol'Naaris got half way down before he heard shouting that sounded like a man's voice. It loud enough that it could draw attention from remaining husk. He continued down the stairs and stopped as soon as he saw the tunnel and the 'elite group.' Rol'Naaris listened to the batarian trying to reason with the crazed human. It was odd to see a batarian since most of their people were killed before Earth was invaded, but Rol'Naaris was thankful that someone was calming the human down. With his shotgun, he slowly walked towards the ground and said something before someone else could speak.

"I agree with the batarian, you should calm down before you get us all killed. We are all here to make the galaxy more safe; but in order to achieve that, we need to work together and have a clear mindset." Rol'Naaris spoke up towards the hostile human with his roboticized voice as he lifted up his shotgun and held it near him. Then, he walked towards one of the old seats and sat on it as he was still holding on to his weapon if the human were to do something stupid. Plus, he wanted to use it to scare off any rodents that dare come near Rol'Naaris vas Vaepal. He looked at the group and saw another quarian. It has been months since he last talked to his crew mates aboard the Vaepal and his family as well. Both are still being repaired and modified due to the damage for the Reapers.

After a few seconds, he placed the shotgun nearby him and started to use his omni-tool.

Rol'Naaris was not planning to stop by the museum today instead he was looking for some shuttle port station. He walked forward and used his omni-tool for directions towards the place. London was a new place that Rol'Naaris visited during his time at Earth since the battle. He was too busy rebuilding at Alexanderia and traveling all over to go to London. In fact, he had no plans on stopping there at the moment until the Spectre agents decided to set the meeting location there. The city was still healing for the Reapers and several skyscrapers were still under construction. He had dreamed of going to Earth during his youth.

Just in case...

It was until Rol'Naaris got half way down before he heard something happening below. For his safety, he decided to stay at the winder rather than get caught in the middle. And he could serve as the guard and stop normal citizens from entering the underground. He leaned against the ceramic tile wall and played around with his omni-tool while his shotgun was placed near him. As soon as everyone got into place, he would go down and meet the others. For now, this was the perfect spot to be and it was near the entrance.

@SgtEasy, I think that it doesn't matter where your character enters as long as they meet at the same there.

@Dervish, indeed they are. I am reloading the IC page just in case there's another post.

Mass Effect: Underworld

Rol'Naaris vas Vaepal

Name:

Rol'Naaris nar Taazzor; Rol'Naaris vas Vaepal; Rol

Race:

Quarian

Class

Infiltrator

Age:

Twenty-nine years old

Sex:

Male

Appearance:

With their weak immune system, Rol'Naaris rarely takes off any part of his armor unless he is fixing up his wounds. No-one beyond the Migrant Fleet knows what he looks like without that mask. Rol tried his best to get armor that made him stand out for the other Quarian on their pilgrimage. That's why he got Devlon Industries' Light Explorer Armor VII for a store in the Citadel during his pilgrimage. Despite being an outdated model, Rol made sure to update its' shields and protection of weapons and biotics. Even before he returned to the fleet, he managed to raise one of the shoulder pads up and changed it from a navy blue to a tan color. After the Reaper War, he still kept the same old armor on him and refused to change it for a better model. It had survived this war, it will survive for a long time.

Even when he joined the Spectres, he refused to use their Quarian armor since it was not better compared to the other armors on sale in places like Omega or Illium.

Backstory:

Rol'Naaris was born on board the Taazzor in the year 2157 on the day that Relay 314 Incident (or the First Contact War coined by the humans) happened. Rol spent his childhood aboard on the Taazzor with his mother and father. His mother worked in the technical division, while his father was in the Marines. When he was old enough, his mother took him to places like the Citadel to gather parts no possible to obtain within the fleet. This was Rol's first time that he had been outside of the Taazzor and saw other species in person. It was breathtaking and amazing. He often wandered off before his mother chased after him and took him back home. When he learned of the pilgrimage, Rol was ready to venture beyond the fleet and live in the Citadel.

The truth was that life as a quarian was harsher than he expected.

His father, however, was in the Marines that was born on a military ship and taught about warfare by his father. Rol took interest in the Marines because of his father and grandpa. He taught his son everything he knew about military strategy that he was taught by the Marines. A couple of Marines aboard the Taazzor told him bits of other warfare strategies that krogans and humans use. During his early teens, Rol studied as much as he could on the history of warfare for several races and he also took a look at the Geth War. He soon took interest in history, politics, and the Marines. Years of reading into Sun-Tzu and the Krogan Rebellions were useful facts to learn and he developed a love for planning out tactics.

When it was time for Rol to take part in the pilgrimage, his family and friends gathered around to give gifts before Rol left. His mother managed to get a book about what foods and drinks Quarian can and cannot eat and drink. While his father gave him a Kassa Fabrication Nexus omni tool and a Haliat Armory Stiletto pistol. Shortly after, he left behind his family and friends and headed to the Citadel. Despite facing prejudice for other races, he liked his pilgrimage. He found out so much about the history of Humanity and their culture that he planned a trip to visit Earth. And he made his credits by working at a repair store. While he was trying to gather the credits, Citadel was under attack by the Reapers.

Rol managed to survive the battle by following C-Sec into one of their police stations. As the pieces of Sovereign and the Geth fleet rain down onto the Citadel, his apartment was completely destroyed—his things were destroyed and his roommate was killed. All of the credits, that he had earned, were gone into repairing the damages and trying to move on. But he could not move forward and left the Citadel to complete his pilgrimage two years later. It took him six months to find some worthy to return to the fleet. It was some pieces for one of the Geth ships that he brought off of some scavengers.

He was accepted by into the fleet with open arms, joined Vaepal, and began working in both the Marines as a strategist. When the Admiralty Board was talking about a possible war with the Geth, Rol supported the war and pushed other crew members to realize that war was the answer to their problems. A year after the talks, the Special Projects arm finally found a way to weaken the Geth. While the Board was voting on war, Rol was a vocal advocate for the war. After hours of debating, the Board had declared war on the Geth and Rol got to work. Despite not having enough time to be taught everything in the Marines.

Quarians on their pilgrimage had to return to the fleet to prepare for war. Rol was responsible for placing the returning into positions suitable to the Vaepal and planning ways to attack the Geth fleet. The Migrant Fleet had updated with include weapons on-board civilian ships, an action that he strongly agreed with. They began their assault as the Reapers invaded Earth and burned Palaven. Things were going well for the fleet until the Geth accepted the Reaper's help, destroying any chance of an easy victory. Vaepal didn't need weapons since it was a military ship.

Everyone was too busy to deal with the Reapers that the Fleet suffered huge losses. Vaepal was attacked during one of many ambushes that nearly got Rol killed. He still believed that the fleet could win, especially since Commander Shepard came to their aid. After several victories (with the help of the Commander), the fleet managed to push the Geth back towards their old homeworld, Rannoch. That was when the Battle for Rannoch began. Hours of fighting brought a major victory for the quarian, earning their homeworld back. Surprisingly, the Geth suddenly supported the Quarian conquest and joined Humanity in the battle for Earth.

Rol didn't support peaceful co-existence with the machines and requested that a Geth not board the Vaepal; however, he wanted to help with the fight against the Reapers. So, he joined other strategists to come up with plans on how to defeat the Reapers (if the Battle of Earth was a massive defeat) as soon as the Admiralty Board finally declared war on the Reapers. When the time came to fight on Earth, he was selected to join a group of attackers that planned on landing in North Africa. Several attacks were planned all over the world so the Reapers could be spread out thin. He was a part of the attack on Earth; however, he didn't go to London at all. The battle itself was more difficult than the Battle for Rannoch. People were dying left and right as Rol helped hold the line.

Then, the energy vaporized the Reapers and the Reaper ships stopped working. The war was finally over.

Afterwards, Rol was treated in the city of Alexandria and spent time there before returning to the fleet. Around that time, Tali’Zorah Vas Normandy had also returned to the fleet and began her work with Rannoch. Her influence and actions during the Reaper War grant her command of the newly built Diplomacy Fleet. He was offered a spot aboard Tali'Zorah's body guard. He refused and focused on rebuilding Earth with the others. He has traveled all over the Middle East, the Great Basin and the Mojave and Sonoran Desert. Rol went back to Alexandria to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Battle of Earth.

Psyche Profile:

Rol'Naaris is just like any normal quarian: strategic mind, judgmental, hard-working, decisive, and overly analytical. Those traits have been useful and useless to him throughout his life. Rol tends to make only a few friends that like to have discussions about stuff and hang out often. He has no trouble relaxing and enjoying himself with his friends, but he doesn't share his emotions with them. And he cannot be able to provide emotional support towards others. Plus, he can often be too honest to deal with. Romantic relationships are also his weakness as he doesn't know anything other than warfare. Rol also has a thing for organizing.

He is also judgmental towards Geths because of their actions during the last few years. And the fact that Rol despises artificial intelligence and labels them as 'a threat to the galaxy.' Besides Geth, he is willing to have a healthy discussion with different ideals and opinions. And he likes human movies that have anything to do with humans destroying AI; but, he favors The Matrix and Inception. He also likes reading novels, writing essays, watching documentaries, and listening to classical music. And he always wanted to have plants along with trained dogs and go to famous landmarks.

And he also always wanted to start up a museum since he loved other species’ histories. He dislikes narrow-minded people, gossip circles, people who can't handle dark humor, metal music, alcohol, and dirty/messy places.

Specialty:

Rol'Naaris was most likely picked to be in the Spectre-led task force because of his involvement with the Marines and they noted him as a great strategist during the Battle for Rannoch and he also helped his commander during the Battle of Earth. He was also one of the few Quarian that went to Earth during the battle, which gives his experience in the heat of a firefight.

And Rol also knows how to use both a shotgun and a sniper unlike other quarians. He likes the sniper rifle better than the shotgun, but he would use it if he's in the front lines. In short, he's the sniper of the team.

Powers/Skills:

Sabotage, Tactical Cloak, Assassination, Agent (Operative), and Fitness

Equipment and Resources:

Devlon Industries' Light Explorer Armor VII (it includes a modified version of Asymmetric Defense Layer that fits perfectly into the look of the armor), Haliat Armory's Equalizer IX, Kassa Fabrication's Polaris VIII, Elanus Risk Control Services's Hurricane V, and Haliat Armory's Stiletto VI

Rol'Naaris waited patiently for his shuttle to finally land at their location. It felt like they have been flying for hours since they left one of the human ships. Everyone aboard the shuttle could hear explosions all around them. Once in awhile, they could hear a shuttle getting hit and most likely crash landing onto Earth: human's homeworld. Rol felt sick whenever he heard the explosions getting closer towards this shuttle. And it did not help that he was the only quarian on this shuttle and surrounded by krogan, turians, and humans. A human sitting by Rol was looking at a datapad. Rol only noticed when he was checking on his sniper rifle and decided to take a peek at the datapad. It was a very old picture of a group of people with weapons, standing next to horses. It could of been from World War I or some other minor war fought during the time period.

He kept on checking out his weapons while some of the turians and humans started to pray as they felt the shuttle going down. Everyone gathered their weapons and readied themselves for the drop off. Before they left, one of the Alliance captains told everyone to get into cover as soon as possible and open fire. Sounds of a firefight got louder as the shuttle began to land while it was taking fire from marauders and brutes Soon enough, everyone stood up and waited for the doors to open up. Rol held his sniper rifle tightly and ready for a dash towards the nearest cover.

Before they opened, everyone heard the pilot's voice through the comms as he gave instructions on where the base is located.

"Alright, you are about to be fired at. Remember to fight carefully and remain calm; however, don't forget your main objective. Reach the command base. Your omni-tool should have the location marked. Once you reach the location, the commander of the base will issue you with a task to do and communicate with you. Good luck soldiers. May God be with you."

After that brief speech, the doors slowly opened as bullets could be heard hitting against the shuttle. Everyone carefully stepped out and dashed towards cover. Some of them were immediately shot and cried out in pain or died because of a well placed shot. Once Rol exited out of the shuttle and ran towards cover, it took off rather quickly and left the areas. Other shuttles began to land as soldiers exited out of it while one was shot down while leaving the areas. Rol went to a different cover and pulled out his omni-tool while soldiers left and right were getting shot at. The omni-tool revealed that the location was somewhere west and saw that a couple of soldiers were already heading there.

The night was still rather young and it was difficult to see anything. Suddenly, he heard screaming and a struggle as Rol went for his pistol. He ran towards the sound and saw that the human for the shuttle was pinned by a husk. Rol shoved the gun against the husk's head and opened fire, killing the creature for sure. It felt as the human pushed it away from him and processed to kick it several times. "Motherfucker!" he said angrily towards the husk.

"Are you alright?" Rol asked while grabbing the human's assault rifle and offering it to him.

"Yeah... Just took me by surprise." he pointed at the dead husk and grabbed his gun.

"Thanks.."

"Call me Rol." Rol just said while he was grabbing his sniper rifle.

"Rol... I am Hamdaan." Hamdann said while reloading his assault rifle. Both men began their walk on the abandoned street while other soldiers walked pass them. It was rather peaceful, even know explosions and gunshots could be heard all around. They were nearby the base because of the M35 Makos could be seen from afar, firing towards the Reapers. They have started to talk about being on Earth since the invasion. It turned out that his aunt and brother were on Earth during the invasion. They were traveling to Dubai just as the Reaper began their attack. Their ride took a detour towards the airport and they managed to get on a transport ship before the transmission died out.

Hamdaan knew that they were dead and mourned their deaths. Afterwards, he joined the Alliance and waited for this day to come since joining. Rol felt bad that the quarian were fighting the geth. He saw the footage of Earth while he was planning for the upcoming war with them. It was truly disgusting for him to hear the news then Palaven was hit as well. The breaking news made him stop working for the entire day and he wanted to throw up. Shepard was right the whole time and no-one—not even Rol himself—believed his warnings.

Rol said that the news made him work harder than ever to finish up with the geth; but, things never go according to plan. Gunfire got louder as both of the men rushed towards the base and saw the husk heading towards the Makos. Some of them got on top of them and Rol used his sniper rifle to pick them off. With one knee on the ground, he aimed and fired at the husks. Hamdaan charged towards the base ready for anything while others followed his lead. Rol got off of the ground and rushed towards the firefight.

It was going to be one hell of a battle. The one that he was going to tell stories about for years to come. If he survives the ordeal.

Notes

Rol hasn't have the chance to be in a romantic relationship, but he is sure that he could most likely be either gay or straight. However, it doesn't bug him at all.

He made some friends during the Battle of Earth and talks to them often. And he also still talks to people from the fleet as well. And he also has met Tali’Zorah after the Reaper War for a brief moment. Plus, he is more than willing to provide his services to rebuilding the Earth.
