This is the thread for the character sheets and intro. The RP is here :<br/>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=60384 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=60384)<br/><br/><strong>Mass Effect RP - Rules and all that deathmetal.<br/></strong>Well maybe it didn't exactly explode but the interest check still got quite a few people interested so here it is  (http://elliquiy.com/forums/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)  The Mass Effect (well, -A- Mass Effect) RP. There's no specific system or rules here (Elliquiy rules apply, duh), but a few warnings : Swearing is allowed (though I'd rather it was kept down a little), so if 4 letter words beginning with F (such as "Free") makes you die inside, turn away now  (http://elliquiy.com/forums/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) , and yeah I won't be filtering out sex if it's appropriate. Now for the story, etc<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Introduction (pretty much the start of Mass Effect 2)</strong><br/>It's been 2 years since the Reaper attack on the Citadel. What was once considered by some "The capital of the galaxy", home to the council and many different species, is now rebuilding itself, it's community, and it's security. Meanwhile, the rest of the galaxy runs pretty much normally. Companies carry on with their business, people get on with their lives, and crime, piracy, and intolerance is still widely known.<br/><br/><strong>My character</strong><br/><em>try and use this is a sort of guideline, like for what you should include in your character, but it's up to you...</em><br/><br/><br/><strong>Picture : </strong>http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2752/shot01240.jpg (http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2752/shot01240.jpg)<br/><strong>Name :</strong>Commander Jenny Shephard<br/><strong>Gender and Race : </strong>Female Human<br/><strong>Age : </strong>31, looks somewhere in her twenties.<br/><strong>Role/occupation : </strong>Ex-Alliance Military, commander of SSV Normandy and crew.<br/><strong>Alignment : </strong>Paragon.<br/><strong>Background/history : </strong>From childhood, Shephard was a slave. While the memories still remain somewhere deep in her mind, she also learned strong discipline from this. In her late teens, she escaped the slave facility, and joined the Alliance Military. Quickly, she worked her way up the ranks and ended up on the SSV Normandy, first as part of the sqaud, later working her way up to Commander. Her old crew were very loyal to her, and she was always close to them. Some time after the war with the Reapers, her original ship and crew were attacked, and the crew escaped. Shephard was found dead in space, but brought back to life by a terrorist organisation who planned to recruit her. Her crew had split up and scattered across the galaxy, now walking their own paths.<br/><strong>Bio : </strong>Shephard is extremely effective in her missions, and very professional. She can often resolve matters peacefully, but won't hesitate to open fire if shots are fired at her.<br/><strong>Combat strengths/weaknesses : </strong>In combat, Shephard's agility, tactics, and accuracy are top-grade. She's flexible with weapons, able to use any weapon in combat, but her best weapons are pistols and assault rifles. Her weaknesses are that she has no biotic powers and is very weak to them, and can be easily beaten in a melee fight. Fear rarely or never seems to be even a slight problem, but sometimes she will retreat to save her crew.<br/><strong>Personal strengths/weaknesses : </strong>Shephard is friendly and accepting of everyone, not holding any sort of noticeable hatred inside for any specific group. She has been known to be very close with her crew, stopping to talk with them informally before and after every mission. Her personal weakness isn't very visible but those who know her closely can tell, because of her life of fighting and working, she has barely any time to just go out and socialise. This makes her lonely, sometimes noticeable when she tries to hold on to people she originally only spoke to for information.<br/><strong>Sexuality : </strong>Unknown - Shephard hasn't been known to flirt noticeably with anyone, or have any sort of relationship apart from the sqaud/commander relationship.
