I also like to do pre-collapse. So much stuff I can write about as the world falls apart (in-game and in real life!).
I am interested too.



𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁: 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿



Synopsis
In 2183, evidence of Saren Arterius' contribution to the attack on the human colony of Eden Prime was brought forward by Commander Shepard to the Citadel Council. The councilors voted unanimously to revoke Arterius' Spectre status (along with its benefits) and issue an arrest warrant across Citadel Space. And when it became clear that he wasn't going to give himself up, the council made Shepard the first human Spectre in its history. Yet, it soon became apparent that Saren had been prepared.

After Shepard's visit to the colony world of Feros, the Network Division of C-Sec stumbled upon one of Saren's former contacts mentioning the planet and Shepard several times. Further digging revealed that insiders within the Council and C-Sec were giving them access to all of Shepard's reports. Additionally, there were two more former contacts still working for the rogue Spectre. The realization that there was a leak within both the law enforcement and governing body of the Citadel terrified the councilors, which made them desperate for a solution.

In a classified location, the councilors met up with Venari Pallin, executor of C-Sec, to initialize Operation Kingslayer. It became clear that Saren was using his resources within the Citadel and C-Sec to undermine them and Shepard. Kingslayer's purpose was to eradicate Saren's remaining influence for the space station by taking care of the two contacts. However, it needed a leader. That was when the Council suggested a former CIA agent, Elliot Emerson. Emerson agreed, but only if he personally handpicked the group for the operation. He understood that a group of questionable individuals capable of fighting tooth and nail to complete the objective was required to defeat a former Spectre.

With his supervisors' approval, Emerson sent out a cryptic message to four different specialists offering tons of credits for their aid and left for the Citadel.

Information
It has been a while since I was in a Mass Effect roleplay. And instead of waiting for one to show, I told myself to make one while I am stuck at home. So, Kingslayer was born. Influenced mainly by Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Narcos. I will admit that it has been forever since I played the Mass Effect trilogy, but I have the basics down. One of the things that bothered me was how the Council behaved in the games specifically the first one. They are supposed to wise and intelligent but instead, they sat on their hands and let Saren read all of Shepard's reports.

Kingslayer helps fix that by making small changes to the Council that make sense and act like the ultimate authority they are. And it allows the Council to get their hands dirty when no other options are available. Of course,

As for what I am looking for, as a GM, I want to keep things small. Only four characters will be accepted. The story will be rather short. And almost everything will take place in the Citadel. The reason why is because I tend to notice that roleplays die when there's too much everything. Plus, I don't trust myself as GM to keep up with everything spread out.

Rules
I am making some species off-limits because I don't want to see a Hanar or Elcor soldier raining hell. Or a Geth turned good boy. Or a Collector.

Follow all of the Guild’s rules and don’t metagame or powergame. Be kind to others. You know, standard stuff that one should know by now.



"Take care of them, Steven."



stuff you need to know
⨯ I tend to play male characters more than female characters, but I don't mind playing the opposite sex. I don't care much about romances, but I lean more towards male and male romantic relationships.

⨯ I will write secondary and side characters because (to me, anyhow) it makes the roleplay more fun. I don't expect you to do the same, but I would be grateful if you did.

⨯ I usually write at least a few paragraphs or more per post. I don't want to deal with one-line and one-paragraph posts.

⨯ I will be occupied with college, meaning I might be somewhat quiet for a day or two. Of course, I will let you know whenever that happens via discord, private messages, or thread.

⨯ I like my partners to be over the age of eighteen especially if there's going to be romance (and it will always lead to fade-in-black). There's the chance of graphic content in my writing that isn't family-friendly.

⨯ Communication is awesome, so please tell me if you are honestly bored or having writer's block. I won't be mad with you for being honest. I would also like to post our roleplay in the thread than using the private message system because it's more organized.

⨯ If you have a discord, you can message me there since I am on it often. And please don't post on this thread!

The Final Frontier
In the near future, Earth entered a state of emergency with its climate drastically changing at an alarming rate. And with the collapse of the European Union, everyone was on edge for a possible world-ending war for remaining resources. However, it didn't come. Instead, it only prolonged a new Cold War between both powers. This war was shifted towards the new frontier: space. One of humanity's first targets was the Moon. The United States of America established the first-ever colony with the aid of several European countries with Russia and China developing their own shortly after.

Now with six years passing since the founding of the Luna colonies, the superpowers were eager to expand further into the Solar System. Both America and Russia had their sights on the red planet, Mars.

Mass Effect: Kingslayer
In 2183, evidence of Saren Arterius' contribution to the attack on the human colony of Eden Prime was brought forward by Commander Shepard. His Spectre status was revoked and became a wanted man on Citadel Space. But, it wasn't enough. C-Sec found out that an old contact of Saren's managed to intercept all of Shepard's reports. Further digging revealed that eight additional contacts were still working for the rogue Spectre. The realization that there was a leak within the Council terrified the councilors. That made them desperate.

In a classified location, the councilors met up with Venari Pallin, executor of C-Sec, to initialize Operation Kingslayer. It became clear that Saren was using his resources within the Citadel and C-Sec to undermine them and Shepard. The goal of Kingslayer was to ensure that both Saren's presence in the space station and the nine contacts' lives were terminated. However, it needed a lead contact. That was when the Council suggested a former CIA agent, Elliot Emerson.

The Age of Machines
Since the twentieth century, mankind has always made advancements in medicine and media to the internet and nuclear weaponry. In 1964, the great minds of our planet met up in Paris to discuss the possibility of human augmentation. Plastic surgery and implants were becoming more common as the century was ending. The conference discussed the ethical and moral quandaries of human augmentation only being made available to wealthy, developed countries. It also talked about the "need" and "want" in human augmentation, and the potential for human augmentation over the next century. After the discussions, The Code of Ethics on Human Augmentation was shown to the world.

The world didn't take it seriously since it created standards for a form of technology that is still in its infancy. And soon after, world leaders at the time were too forced on the second significant period of globalization and scientist began their shift towards global warming. The world soon forgot about the code until the year 2025. The Digital Revolution was still going strong as holograms shifted into popularity as a form of entertainment. The Middle East finally saw peace for the first time in decades with the end of the civil war; however, ISIL remained on their minds. NATO-Russian relations became more strained than ever with the annexation and puppet of Ukraine. The gap between rich and poor nations got worse with third world countries being affected the most. And the European Union grew stronger after becoming independent from America.

However, the world has advanced technologically, and more countries are adopting liberal social politics. And suddenly, augmentation started to become popular in the world. It began with elf ears and then advanced into prosthesis. And the world witnessed cyberware growing into a fashion statement overnight. Transhumanism started to become popular with the youth. In response, Russia (along with several Central and Eastern European countries) made all of them illegal, citing concerns those things went against human nature. The augmented citizens are facing discrimination and brutality from both citizens and police every single day while living in separate districts. At the moment, several European countries are requesting a United Nations investigation into the law and whether they are violating human rights or not.

Isolate
Humanity has been living their comfortable lifestyle in a world that has become overly dependent on technology for decades. As bacterias and viruses are adapting to antibiotics at an alarming rate, some people began to question this dependency. Then, a deadly virus infected millions of Africans and killed thousands in a matter of months. A few foreigners were affected but were contained before they could spread. It caused widespread panic among the population of the world. After developing a treatment for the virus, the CDC designed and released a preparedness guide for combating outbreaks. It was adopted by the governments of the world shortly after the release.

The United States of America was worried about a possible outbreak hitting America, resulting in the collapse of their government. That was when a presidential directive was quietly signed into law as a response to the entire situation. It's known as Directive 18, a directive that puts forth several plans from the US government and military in case of an outbreak in the country. The public didn't know of the directive's existence and their plans for tomorrow. However, the CDC and the American government partnered up to issue preparedness messages to watch for the warning signs of any virus outbreak. And they also started a massive nationwide health campaign that is making positive changes to personal health and personal hygiene in America. Meanwhile, the United States Military also launched several programs of their own about health and maintaining control during an outbreak, becoming more strict as a result.

It had been seven years since the last major outbreak to occur in the world. The world handled itself during minor epidemics and illnesses, but what if the world was introduced to a different kind of virus? A new type of infection capable of killing its victims and reviving them within hours. No one has the answers or the cure to this question, but it will happen. Either in a small town or a large metropolis, the virus will spread and slowly wipe out its target. In doing so, the virus will cause fear and selfish intentions to take over the average person. Will the government be able to deal with the most potent virus that mankind has ever faced? Or will it be another chapter of mass extinction of man? Can people manage to save civilization?

Or will it be too late?

Spectrum of Beauty
Saint Fayettemos is a sprawling town, known for its nightlife and world-famous bakery goods. Life is simple for the citizens of the ideal town. Everyone is perfect for their friends, loved ones, and even themselves. And everything is in black and white, a world where color is virtually nonexistent. To them, it's a fact. But, only a few individuals know the truth and decide to hide it for good. The idea that there could be colors would cause unforeseen consequences to society; however, nobody can control colors easily. And for the first time in Saint Fayettemos, the trees within Clifworth Meadows bloomed into a strange tone, and a young man witnessed the entire thing.

Hallway // Stockbridge Academy
Jaden cursed themselves when Fitz reminded them of the locked doors and unbreakable windows throughout the school. Yet, there had to be a way out. Because staying at school wasn't an option for them at all. Even if it was for a few nights. They listened to the cheerleader insinuating that the cafeteria was ideal. And then, most of the classmates in the lounge began to leave for the location. Jaden watched and reflected on their next decision: go on their own or catch up with the others. It was oblivious that staying any longer here would result in their death or worse. So, they headed for the door and left the lounge.

There was an immediate breeze of cold for the silent hallways that felt uncomfortable. Earlier, it was the scene of pure chaos and disorder. But now, there was a strange sense of tranquility that quickly got to Jaden. Then, there was the group heading for the cafeteria in the hope of surviving the day. Jaden knew that the food that he had in his bag wasn't going to be enough. However, it meant staying in this nightmare. Looking ahead at one of the main doors, they huffed at the fact that Fitz was most likely right. The only exits were locked for now. So, they quickly made their way towards the others, who were arguing over what to do.

Jaden was close enough to hear Xan suggesting to gather as much water as possible. They didn't know much about the new kid, but he seemed alright. That was until it was ruined the moment when he proposed killing their classmates. Surviving was one thing, but killing somebody was different. Even if they were zombies. That was when Jaden decided to make their presence known to everyone.

"Look, I am not going to murder someone to answer your hypothesis." Jaden responded to Xan's suggestion with disgust but then sighed and looked at the water fountain nearby. "However, getting water isn't a bad idea. Especially if we are planning on staying here."

They dug around their bag, pulled out the steel water bottle, and headed for the fountain. While Jaden was filling up the container with cold water, there was an awkward silence waiting for them to say something. Since they were opposed going to the cafeteria moments ago, it felt fair for Jaden to state their case even if it was unnecessary. "Before anyone says anything, I still plan on getting to my car and leaving when the opportunity. I... I have seen enough to know that being by myself right now is stupid."

<Snipped quote by Mao Mao>

Did you get this from a random gang name generator? lol

oof. I only use name generators 98% of the time. these names were made by my creative and bright mind. As for your little problem...

Two brothers were running for the law and found themselves to be surrounded in or near Los Angeles. The LAPD accidentally shot and killed one of the brothers, the nonpowered one. And he was so grief-stricken that he unleashed a strong enough earthquake to trigger the San Andreas fault line, resulting in an 8.7, then a 9.0, and finally, a 7.8 earthquake. The resulting earthquakes caused massive destruction throughout California, especially in the south and the Los Angeles county. Due to the cost of repairs, the US government decided to declare Southern California (including Los Angeles) an exclusion zone with the hope of rebuilding what was taken. For now, Congress is debating on the plans while local governments still deal with evacuations.

As for Los Angeles, it remains a lawless city with the military (and national guard) picking up desperate citizens once a month. But with the hope of one day retaking the city from the gangs and criminals currently occupying it.
