Mass Effect: The B Team

WIP

Name: Linalla 'Lin' T'sado

Age: 27

Species: Asari

Gender: Female

Class: Medic

Image Reference:

Bio/Backstory: Lin wasn't ever someone too special. She didn't come from a line of Matriarchs, she wasn't someone who had a mass following, she was just, an Asari. Get her education, become a nurse, eventually rise up to full doctor status, work 9-5 as the humans would say. Simple life right?

At some point she decided the military could use her help. Things were pretty peaceful, but there always seemed to be a need for doctors nonetheless, and so she became a Military Doctor in the Asari Navy. She never knew it would take the turn it did. When working on the Citadel, at some point she was approached by an officer... not someone she would ever normally speak with. The kind of person who walks into a room and everything goes quiet. And this person actually walked straight up to her, and SALUTED her. After a few moments of stunned silence, she was simply handed a paper, and congratulated. He even called her 'Ma'am'. The strange thing was, the officer was a Human.

She opened the paper, and needless to say was completely confused to find that she was being promoted to Commander, and was to be given her own ship and was being given a very special mission. She knew the Reapers had come, and Earth had fallen, but this didn't make any sense. She would have suggested there was a mistake, but the letter was addressed, in hand writing, directly to her.

Why was a doctor, and not even a special doctor, promoted to COMMANDER of a ship? That wasn't even the same line of progression! The top title she was supposed to be able to earn was Head Surgeon or something, or Medical Director. Not, Commander of a Warship. But it was happening, and here she was, Commander Linalla freaking T'sado, Captain of the SSV Minotaur.

Fuck.

Original 'Position': Doctor

New 'Position': Commander (Yes, of the whole ship. Yes, I said Doctor.)

Equipment:

M-8 Avenger
M-25 Hornet
Pack of Medi-gel

Other: (Anything else you feel is missing.)

Gundam OO - Celestial Intervention

Meister of Virtue

Name: Viraa Lye

Nicknames: She prefers to just be called Viraa

Operational/Code Name: Viraa Lye

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Biology Type: Innovade

Appearance:

Biography/History: As an Innovade, she was pretty much created by Celestial Being. She feels like her entire existence is to 'serve the plan' so to speak. As such, no matter what, the mission comes first, and her place in it all. She never really experienced a normal life, having friends, or anything that comes with such things. Because of this she can be rather, difficult.

From the moment she woke up she acted as an assistant to Veda, as most of her kind did. She was the one who approached many people who Veda had chosen to become part of Celestial Being. If a Scientist, or Engineer, or even a Doctor was chosen to join Celestial Being, it was likely Viraa who approached them, and made them the offer and convinced them to accept it. She was also ultimately the one who approached the Gundam Meisters to inform them of their place within Celestial Being, and if necessary, convince them to join as she had done with others.

It was for this reason that Viraa was given a female body. While many Innovades are at least somewhat male or female, it wasn't often that they were fully given a gender by Veda. The exception, was Innovades such as Viraa who needed to fit in with Humanity, and not be too off putting when she approached the people she was intended to recruit.

When recruitment died down, she typically would act as a personal escort to any VIPs within Celestial Being should it be needed. It was rarely needed, but still, just to be safe she was often put into the company of any VIPs who were going to largely public places. To her, it felt odd as they had not yet made their presence known so it wouldn't be as if they had enemies who were looking to shut them down. Yet. She was a combat Innovade, but she didn't expect that meant protecting VIPs from threats that didn't exist... was she supposed to keep them from tripping over their own shoelaces or something? It baffled her to no end.

Imagine her surprise however, when Veda informed her that she would be a Meister herself, one of the forefront tools of the whole plan. She felt honored, and special, and it honestly did little to help her 'mightier than thou' complex when it came to others who she felt were less important to the plan, or didn't understand it as well as she did.

At least she finally understood why she was a Combat Innovade.

Skill Set: As an Innovade she can use Quantum Brainwaves to connect to Veda, and view any data she has access to. This means reviewing mission plans without needing to see them, information on the enemy. Beyond this she is considered a 'combat Innovade', so she specializes in piloting Mobile Suits.

Gundam OO - Celestial Intervention

I think 3 is enough to start at least, I just hope it doesn't turn into a '1 post a week from one of the players' sort of deal.

I'm fine with whatever really.

Gundam OO - Celestial Intervention

Alright added more to it.

Mass Effect: The B Team

OOC is up here

@SpaceMan@XAnth@Dumb1And1Lazy@tal0n

Mass Effect: The B Team

"The B Team. That's what they would come to know us as. The team that did alright, but never quite as good as the Normandy did. Maybe we picked up a squadron of bombers here and there, sure. But that obviously paled in comparison to Shepard going around getting entire planets to fight for Earth. But I'm getting ahead of myself... see, we started as just, Ambassador Team 7, or just, AT-7 for short. N7's finest..."

THE B TEAM

"Welcome to AT-7, a team of specially picked individuals for the job of getting Earth the aid it needs. Armies, Fleets, Supplies, anything and everything, that's your job. You need to get these things so that the Alliance can take back Earth from those damn flying robot Squids. That means finding people in need, doing what they want you to do for them, and gaining their support. Now don't worry, the Normandy is out there doing the heavy lifting, we're not expecting you to get the entire Krogan Armada... Armada? Do they have ships? Nevermind, point being we don't expect you to do all the work. You're not alone soldier, so get out there and bring more into the fold!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it's a band of misfits who have absolutely no business being where they are, or doing what they are doing. Alliance Command really screwed this one up, and in the chaos of Earth being attacked, they accidentally got orders tossed around and people ended up in the wrong place. Now you, a group of nobodies have been essentially drafted into N7 whether you are human or not, given a frigate (Similar to the Normandy but by far less experimental and not as advanced), and told to go get support for Earth. Simple right? Yeah, definitely.

This is taking place during the Reaper invasion. It has been about a week since Earth 'fell', so people have just barely shaken off the shock that this is really happening. The different species are scattered, trying to defend their own worlds and desperately just trying to hold onto anything they have left. The Citadel is pretty peaceful all things considered, except for the flood of refugees. This itself is a bit concerning to people... why hasn't the Citadel been attacked, it's like the central Command for... everyone.

Well none of that matters now. You're heroes now, get to it.

You may be asking yourself... none of these people are that dumb right? Surely they have enough sense to sit down, and think "Alright, the Commander was a Medic, so maybe she should move to be our Medical Officer. Our cook is an Engineer, so maybe move them to Engineering." So on and so forth, right? Well, for comedic reasons, that won't happen. Our characters will keep the positions assigned to them, even if they help out on occasion in fields they are more suited for.

Allowed Species:

Human
Turian
Quarian
Asari
Krogan
Drell
Volus (Because why not)

Your origin can be literally anything you want within the confines of the rules, however you have to have SOME connection to a military, be it the Alliance, or your own species' military. However, you are NOT allowed to play any sort of veteran soldier. Even slightly experienced soldiers are not allowed. The entire idea is your character SHOULD NOT BE HERE. Whether that means a fresh recruit fresh out of basic, or Tom from accounting down the hall. You've been drafted, but even Command doesn't realize the mistake they made, and so you just have to live with it. For the Galaxy, right?

This also means you'll need a pretty good reason to have any sort of biotic abilities. An Asari for example would naturally have biotic abilities, it's just that they may not have chosen to develop this ability and may be lost for how to actually use it. Don't get me wrong, make a character who has no idea how to use biotics but tries their damndest all you want. Just no Adepts or anything.

Classes are as follows:

Soldier
Infiltrator
Engineer
Medic

No, your class doesn't need to match your abilities. That's half the point here.

Character Sheet:

Name:

Age: (18+, No Elders, No need to be species specific, age can be 'human equivalent')

Species: (Listed species are found above)

Gender:

Class: (Also found above)

Image Reference:

Bio/Backstory:

Original 'Position': (Like Janitor, Engineer, Doctor, Whatever. Again, must be at least SOMEHOW tied to the military.)

New 'Position': (Like head of research, logistics, quartermaster, so on. Once more, does not need to match your skills or class, old or new.)

Equipment: (Keep it basic, no N7 special weapons or anything like that. That means no Black Widow. At the start. You can have one primary weapon, and one secondary weapon. So a Rifle, Shotgun, or Sniper or something, then a Pistol or SMG. HUMAN Andromeda weapons are also allowed, since they will be the same tech level as Reaper-War Milky Way.)

Other: (Anything else you feel is missing.)

Mass Effect: The B Team

Sounds good, I'll work on the OOC right now.

Mass Effect: The B Team

Yeah, that's fine xD Although as I'll detail in the OOC, people were chosen, not volunteered. After all probably anyone would volunteer for what they think is getting away from the action and going on a 'vacation' from world to world being a negotiator.

I'll probably keep this to 4-5 people including myself, just to keep it with that feeling of a squad like Mass Effect always had.

I'm thinking a lot of things with this team would be lost in translation so to speak, as the Alliance Command is having a hell of a time coordinating things, so people end up where they weren't meant to be... like, I don't know, an actual doctor being the Commander.
