Let's do a FATE game

...you mean here, right?

Out of curiosity, what kind of things would you guys like to focus on here? Action and investigation go without saying, but how big the emphasis is on either would be up to you. Also, do you like exploration? Interacting with NPCs? Politics? I plan to include all of those, but the degree to which they would appear would also depend on your preferences.

A volus soldier is... an odd choice, but I suppose they must exist. :P The system isn't really very strict about what kind of abilities are available to you; it is reasonable to assume that a Soldier has access to special ammo and grenades, and so he does. Or you could specify it additionally if you consider it that big a part of your character (Special Ammo Expert? Experimental Weapons Contract?).

In the meantime, I've been adjusting and refining the premise that I have in mind. I think it really may be better if you are working for a top secret organisation, in contrast to the somewhat more public and overt Spectres, recruited in exchange for both money and the erasure of any past criminal records on Citadel worlds, reporting not to the Council directly but to your project's Director, and carrying out missions on the fringes of and beyond Citadel Space. At least, that's how you start...

So, any news?

...I guess it isn't possible to delete posts yet?

Volus is... hmm. Kind of a questionable choice for this, since they are either power brokers or comic relief in the games (or both). That being said I'd allow it if you insist, and if you make him sufficiently competent. Tech specialist or biotic god?

As you prefer. I really hope some of the people who expressed interest earlier would come back, so we could know their preferences as well. :P

It looks like we already have an aspiring krogan, so a turian it (probably) is.

This is getting increasingly Renegade. I think I'm getting a more clear idea of what sort of group this might be: a top secret op whose participants are pardoned for their previous crimes, established to do things that the more Paragon-ish of Spectres or C-Sec agents would not have the guts to do in areas where the Citadel's authority is limited - and to watch the watchmen themselves as it were, since one of the factions in the Citadel has grown increasingly distrustful of the Spectres and the publicity they attract.

Also wondering if anyone is going to be a puny human.

Mass Effect Heroquest 2E - A Galaxy Without Shepard

Sure thing. I'll probably end up starting with six players if I could. And even then, experience has taught me that it never hurts to have people you could switch in if someone disappears - so even I get six more reservations on top of this, chances are I'll find something I could do with them eventually.

I think a character like that would probably work better with a covert, non-Spectre team. Either that or a team led by a Spectre who is reasonably far on the Renegade end of the... spectrum. Hopefully no one minds that too strongly.

Welcome aboard!

Post here & I'll tell you which Game of Thrones House you will lead into battle.

Here and hoping for krakens.
