    Story


    In 2183 CE the Battle of the Citadel had ended with heavy losses sustained by Citadel and human fleets, after the battle the Alliance Fifth Fleet is awarded the Palladium Star by the Citadel Council for their involvement in that pivotal battle as well as offering humanity a seat on the council. Commander Shepard had quickly become a legend after the battle, the Alliance sending Shepard to root out any remaining Geth resistances and holdouts. A move that brought the Normandy into a sector where three ships were reported to have gone missing in the space of one month. After just four days of fruitlessly searching for signs of Geth activity, the Normandy was attacked by an unidentified ship of unknown origin. Most of the crew managed to escape however Shepard himself became MIA and later, after countless search teams are sent, is reported to have been killed in the attack. The news is devastating to many who had looked up to the visibly immortal human specter as a hero. The various Council races themselves are are still stunned at the attack on the Citadel and further by the news of Shepard's death—the official report however describes the battle as an attack by a rogue Specter leading an army of Geth, with no mention of Sovereign or the Reapers, in a bid to lessen fears of a possible "Reaper" invasion, and further casting off of such talks as mere rumors. Even when human settlements began to vanish one after the next, they were downplayed and shockingly seemingly ignored by the alliance.

    This move angered some within the alliance, primarily those who had taken part in the Battle of the Citadel many voicing their concern and need for preparation should these rumors be true. One such voice was Donald Armstrong, a legendary veteran of both the The First Contact War and Skyllian Blitz as well as a high ranking naval officer. However his warnings and protest for further protection for human colonies fell on deaf ears and just two months after Shepard's death, Donald Armstrong left the alliance going into 'retirement' receiving an honorable discharge. However despite having left the alliance, Donald still felt the threat of the Reapers to be ever present, and if the council and Alliance would do nothing he decided he would take actions to prepare for them himself. Donald Armstrong acquired the help of his younger brother, Michel Armstrong, who was currently head of the Aurora corporation having inherited it from their wealthy father Randolph Armstrong. With the help of his brother and varies contacts he had gained over the years of service, Donald Armstrong began the to build the foundations of a private security firm. At first many of Armstrong's recruits were ex-Alliance vets and soldiers, many having served under Donald before and agreed with him others disgruntled by the complacency of the Alliance in regards to the many targeted colony worlds, and not wishing to join the radical Cerberus group. The Blades Of Aurora had been born and many of it's first clients lived and worked within the lawless Terminus system.

    Their contracts often lead them into conflict with the Terminus system's many gangs and pirate bands, earning Donald Armstrong many enemies however despite his best efforts he could find few leads to the disappearances of the many colonist. Resigning to the fact it was a problem currently beyond his resources, Armstrong turned his attention to building the Blades Of Aurora's wealth and influence. Under Donald Armstrong's leadership the Blades of Aurora's fame quickly spread through the Skyllian verge and Terminus system as a disciplined, elite, and well equipped, albeit small, mercenary group. However, unlike larger such groups like the Blue Suns or Eclipse, Aurora never took part in drug running, smuggling, racketeering and piracy. Because of this they become known as trust worthy and loyal until the contract was fulfilled, even refusing jobs of illegal or questionable nature. This earned the less then friendly attention of larger established groups, and the Aurora's shift to protecting the interest of every innocent sapient being, in a bid to expand their clientele, only caused them to further step on the toes of other mercenary gangs.

    Two years have since passed and the remote and seemingly random attacks on human colonies still continue, though the Blades of Aurora has grown now expanding it's recruitment to trustworthy Sapient Aliens and it's wealth and influence undeniable. But at long last one of Armstrong's most ambitious projects has been completed, "The Polaris". Thanks to his contacts within the alliance combined with the latest in ship building technology by the Aurora Corporation, Armstrong was able to obtain the resources and technology to craft an advanced starcraft, partly based on a prototype of the early Normandy. The Polaris was stat-of-the-art, expansive, and incredibly efficient, built for speed and rapid deployment with tougher armor and shields of even the former Normandy at roughly larger size and of greatly different design. With a lead in the missing colonist a network of agents at his disposal, Armstrong has yet to pull together a squad that will help uncover this mystery. What roles they will play and how is yet to be seen though Armstrong does not yet know he is not the only one seeking answers.

    The Setting

    This is a relatively simple RP, set in the Mass Effect universe, a quest that will take PC's all across the Milky Way, on the way they may find hardship, war, love, loyalty, betrayal, and more. Just about any role, position, class, or character type that you may want to play will be accepted if you can create believable reasons and a good enough history to make it believable. Almost any race you may want to play and is feasible can be played, this still however excludes certain races like Hanar, Elcor, Vorcha, Prothean, Collectors, Geth(as much as I would like one), and Rachni. Most of these should be rather obvious however. Each PC will be a member of the Blades Of Aurora, either a member from the start of its founding two years ago (in which case you would most likely be human), or more recently. Majority of the RP will be set taking missions and slowly discovering what is attacking colonies in the Terminus Systems. Events will mostly take place as the did in the story, but with a varying changes and surprises.

    The following are key Points that will most likely effect our RP.


    Key Points:
    - The council was Saved in this story Arch
    - Udina was chosen to take the council Seat
    - The Rachni were allowed to live

    There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love.

    Name: "Dr." Aston Lee
    Age: 28
    Class: Adept
    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Personality: Aston is aggressive and prone to macho posturing, knowing full well that his biotic powers make him a 'bigger man' than a hundred muscleheads and relishing in the opportunity to show off his powers. You can think of him as being something like a nerd taking revenge, relishing in the status as a self-described 'evil genius' and tossing out cruel barbed comments left and right. His bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired; while he does display the expected levels of medical practice and knowledge, he tends to belittle his patients for being stupid enough to get injured.
    Appearance: Aston clearly has something of a little man syndrome, standing at around five foot six and a hundred pounds soaking wet, but trying to make up the difference by standing out with facial piercings, leather clothes and spiked up black hair.
    Unique Marks: Aston's eyes glow blue with eezo. Surgical scars at base of the skull for bio-amp implant.
    Gear: M-4 Shuriken SMG, Personal Kinetic Barrier, Freedom Light Armor VII, Medi-Gel
    Biotic/Tech talents: Barrier, Throw, Shockwave, Lash, Warp, Slam, Reave
    Known History:
    Place of Birth:: Benning, Euler System, Arcturus Stream
    Family Status: Low Income, Below Poverty Line. Records indicate chronic subscription to Alliance welfare income support programs.
    Criminal Record: Extensive, beginning at a young age. Several misdemeanors noted for petty theft, vandalism and public disturbances.
    Confirmed biotic age 14. Initially considered for Ascension Project candidacy due to high standardized test scores, rejected due to criminal past, perception of psychological instability.
    Family receives large financial injection from Haribon Military Industries, Aston taken off-world to unknown location.
    -SPECULATION: during this period, unconfirmed rumours claimed Haribon conducting human trials of experimental biotic amps allegedly able to allow human user to equal Asari or Krogan in output.
    Possible Aston participated in trial. However, no such amplifier ever hit the market.
    Name appears in graduate registry for Del Toro Memorial Medical Academy, accepted diploma in absentia. No other evidence of his study beyond an academic transcript has been found.
    Next confirmed appearance on Ilium five years ago, intercepting red sand shipment as part of merc band. Security footage shows considerable biotic power displayed.
    -NOTE: Red sand is legal on Ilium to traders with proper licenses. Lee's band came under fire from Ilium security as a result.
    Over next several years, seems to drift from one mercenary group to another. Biotic talents only seem to grow.
    -NOTE: Seen habitually taking biotic enhancing drugs including red sand and Minagen X3, though no signs of chronic use or addiction turned up in Aurora medical examination.
    Violently severed ties with former employers two years ago, in Citadel. Seventeen confirmed dead in subsequent firefight through wards, including two major gang leaders.
    Consequences of subsequent power vacuum still being felt in Citadel underworld.
    Last known activity: name added to employee register of Aurora Corporation stationed aboard Polaris as medical officer.

    Unknown History:
    Spoiler

    He still requires editing. I'm not too happy with the actual writing of his history but I'll edit it when I get the chance. It won't differ much.

    I read Catherine's CS, hell, it would make me happy if Tornak was one of those slavers who killed all those colonists. Any of her other family die in the attack? That was Tornak ok? Ahahha.

    That's good. He'll probably tear her to bits but it's still good.
