There is of course room for more people to apply.
Just remember that only eight characters (not including mine, Dervish, Mosis and Voltaire) will be accepted.
For all those folks wandering whether your character will be accepted or not - do not loose heart! It is no contest for the most exotic ideas, simply the most believable. Nor is it a contest of length, rather, quality is considered.
As long as you are willing to do a bit of research and show enthusiasm for making the best character you can, you have just as much chance as anyone else.
That being said, don't be afraid to ask questions about lore and character possibilities on this thread! Mosis, Dervish and myself all know quite a bit about Mass Effect, and we are happy to put our long hours of wiki trawling to use for you! In fact we all enjoy such lore related things, so again, if you have questions, ask them.

I know quite a bit about the Tremere, but thats the extent of my knowledge. I'm also rather rusty on even that, and too busy GMing other things anyway.
Though perhaps this discussion ought to move off this thread now? It is technically dead now and we're keeping the corpse visible, so to speak.

Alright folks, briefing is over, go and chat amongst yourselves for a bit.
If not much of that happens, we'll most likely timeskip straight to next episode start.

After dropping the Al’kesh at the nearest world with a Stargate and gating to the Langford, Ariadne quickly made her way to the briefing room. She was already late and had simply handed the bulky Tau’ri vest to a member of personnel in the gateroom rather than go and change into non combat clothing. Thus, when she arrived, just in time to hear about ‘departing when she and a probe arrived’ she was still in the typical soft brown leather Tok’ra uniform. With a slight grin she marked her entry by speaking “Well one of your criteria is fulfilled then.”
She took one of the empty seats then, and after a pause to collect herself, relayed her own part of the mission, what little there was to relay. “After I ringed onboard the ship, I eliminated the few native crew aboard and took control. Following that I took the ship to the nearest world with a stargate. It should be on its way to Earth already with a team of Tau’ri. The Tolians were familiar with their weapons but poorly co-ordinated. They were not a particularly challenging foe.” As she finished she looked to Captain Black to continue the debrief, wondering if the Tau’ri would have questions for her or want a more detailed recount.
"Well, if it didn't come from our stock, it means there is a mole on Earth with clearance good enough to steal a nuke. I'll notify SGC of the find." Black sighed. For a bunch of ragtag ambitious overlords, the alliance certainly beat them at the intelligence game. They didn't have too much success planting their own people inside LA operations. Hopefully the Tok'Ra were having a better luck, but judging from the lack of fresh reports on her desk, the alliance might be tougher than it appeared.
It was then when Mr. Williams interrupted with the rather grim news. She was disgusted he found a way to sneak powerplay into it though. "No objections." Catherine shot back, not willing to let him get away easily for that. Reading through the report quickly, she was pleased with the probe. With the R-302 not meeting her expectations, she wouldn't have sent another pilot out there, especially since now she had an idea of what would be there waiting for him. "The Hammond?" she asked, although it was more rhetorical as she could guess the answer.
None the less, seizing a planet took troops, and to transport those required ships, as a gate wouldn't have nearly enough throughput. They were heading into the fight. "Very well," Kat tapped her earpiece, "Black to C&C, set course to Langara system. Drop us out at the outskirts." she ordered and the ship sunk into an hyperspace window a few seconds after. "I believe this is concluded then. Go and get some rest people, we're heading into a volatile situation and I'll need you at your best. Dismissed. Ariadne, Mr. Williams, if you would please stay for a moment..."
Kat gathered her composure as she was to ask for something she wasn't sure wouldn't be rejected by the IOA rep right away. "If you recall," she said to Williams, "You said to tell you when I find a suitable person for the XO. I'm looking at one." she said, her eyes set on the Tok'ra. "You have more experience than anyone from Earth ever will and you're uniquely qualified for the job. During the last engagement I found your insight very helpful and frankly sending you out to the field would most of the time be a mismanagement of resources. Would you accept the position?" she said, unsure herself whether she needed to convince Ariadne or Williams more.
"Now, I realize this might cause some political stir for you," she said, turning back to the IOA rep, "And I am ready to give a Jaffa a command position provided they find a suitable person for the right job. With their tactics, I regret to say that ground forces command is out of the question, however our 302 pilots are inexperienced in space combat and seasoned commander might be just what is needed." she offered.

Enjoy the trip Derv!
I expect many stories of defeated Bears and death defying battles with the elements when you return!

I should note that under the terms of the compact, all Biotic Drell (and there aren't all that many) that are born on Hanar worlds are required to serve the Hanar, and are not given nearly as much freedom as their non-biotic families. They serve generally either as Assassins or Bodyguards, but they do serve. Thane is only capable of following Shepard because he is old and has retired from the assassin business. Kosso went to great lengths to get out from under the thumb of the Hanar and Daryna was spared from the Compact by being born on Omega. Kolyat was not Biotic and so free to do largely as he pleased.
Thats not to say you cant make a Drell vanguard, but if you do a good reason for why he is not serving the Hanar should be prominent in your bio.

Thats true, though there will be a few more than eight characters. I believe Derv said earlier that returning players wont count to the eight, which mean Mosis, Voltaire and myself (and Derv himself of course.) Still, your character is entirely up to you.
Well with classes, there are going be a couple of duplicates no matter what as there are only six major classes and more than six characters.
I was originally going with infiltrator, but since my characters powers and modus operandi are only a little infiltrator-like I swapped out to engineer. I was already not taking Tactical cloak so it was no great loss.

We have a Batarian already, they are very rarely played in ME RPs. And a Quarian. Oh and two Drell, which while more council affiliated than the others, are still not technically council as they lack an embassy. So there are non council races, its just not a Krogan spam.
