To all the Mass Effect fans out there, and anyone else who just likes good sci-fi, @Catbert and I are planning to do a Diverse RP set in the Mass Effect universe and are looking for other interested players. We don't have a concrete concept ready just yet, but the plan is to have it set in the Milky Way, most likely in the two years between the first two games. Depending on how many people want to take part, we could potentially have a plot with multiple opposing groups. Or just a small crew. The ME universe is very expansive and fleshed out, so we could play anywhere in Citadel space, the Attican Traverse or the Terminus systems, with characters from any type of background. Right now we're just looking to get a head count, so if the idea interests you say so. Afterwards we can discuss the specifics of what we'll be doing.

@Catbert @Minuteman75 @Charndley While we're still waiting I'd just like to get an idea of what sorts of characters you're interested in playing. So we can tailor a plot that will make sense to include everyone. Species and profession most importantly. Are they military or ex-military? C-Sec? Current or former Spectre? Remember timeline is a few weeks to months after the end of Mass Effect 1.

Let’s see. I thinking either a Qurian exile(former fleet marine) that working as a scavenger or a Turian special forces operative who posing as a freelance mercenary.

Not sure, depends on what kind of story/place we go for, but I was thinking a vanilla-ass human. Maybe ex-military colony-type who has to leave for Reasons.

For myself I was also thinking of playing a Quarian. And though he hasn't come to a decision yet I know Catbert was considering a Krogan. We could potentially be a small team of scavengers that ends up finding something important and getting wrapped up in the middle of something bigger. Maybe a Prothean artifact or something along those lines.

A Quarian on a Pilgrimage (@Reyn) coming to a Quarian exile (@Minuteman75) for help in acquiring "something of value"... Now, where have I heard that before? That "something of value" could be valuable to someone else (@Charndley) for one reason or another... And to another someone else (@Catbert). It doesn't have to be "4 vs the NPCs" PVE, after all ;) Could as well be 2vs2 or 2vs1vs1 with some PVP thrown into the mix. At least at first.

As for the characters, I'm currently torn between a Krogan merc and an Asari C-Sec/Spectre. I can adapt my characters for any story you come up with (and naturally, I can pitch some story ideas too, when I have them).

I do like the idea of a Quarian on pilgrimage seeking out an old friend or mentor that had been exiled, both to catch up with them as well as ask for help. But I'm open to making my character an exile as well and they could be a disgraced duo if @Minuteman75 is up for that. I'm open to a PVP thread as well if we don't want to all work together as a group, although a Spectre might be too much for us to handle.

If we go the PVP route I can see us all competing with each other over this McGuffin. Minuteman's Quarian needs it to get back in the good graces of the Migrant Fleet, or just to make money. My Quarian wants it for their Pilgrimage, @Catbert your Spectre could be tasked with retrieving it by the Council, and if @Charndley is playing a human... I don't know, maybe a Cerberus agent or some N7 operative?

In regards of PvPing do you mean our characters can get killed in this story?

I was thinking along the lines of "friendly competition" and/or cPVP, not "trying to outwrite an opponent and force them to do something they wouldn't have done". Basically, whatever works best for the story, makes more sense, or keeps it interesting. Any way works for me.

Depends on what everyone wants. We could make it death-disabled PVP or enabled. If we just want this to be a one-off thread I'm up for either.

Yo if there's room for one more I'm tempted to join in on this simply because I'm ashamed of the complete lack of Turian love in this thread lol.

Certainly room for more! As stated above we're still hashing out what kind of story we'll be doing. What kind of character were you thinking of playing?

I was thinking some type of stealth character maybe with a bit of tech going on. Essentially and infiltrator if you're looking at the classes from the game.

I meant more along the lines of what faction you'd want to be a part of. Turian military, C-Sec, Merc, that sort of thing.

Ooooh. Was thinking of him as an ex-criminal turned c-sec operative. Possibly with a military background from his younger days to explain where he first got his skills. Then after getting tired of military life he fell in with the Blue Sun's. I'm thinking he got caught and was offered a choice, put his skills to use for c-sec or rot in prison.

Ok, if we go with PVP teams then you'd probably be with @Catbert . We still don't know what Charndley wants to do.

To be honest, I don't think I personally would be interested in anything that was heavily PvP focused. Please don't let that stop you if you'd prefer to run it that way, but I probably wouldn't take part if that was the case.
