@SgtEasy Strangely I always considered Balak to be Shepard's true rival. Sure Shepard fights villains, but they never seem to last more than a single game. Saren, The Collectors, Harbinger. But Balak lasts the entire series.

And the best part is that Balak is not some big evil force to be defeated. He's just a soldier fighting for his people like Shepard. Balak, for me at least, is like the anti-Shepard.

Edit: Even when they meet again in ME:3 "Shepard!" "Balak!"
It was a very "We meet again... FOR THE LAST TIME!!!" moment.

@DarkFey

Yup although he has quickly severed any ties to family and such. He does not consider him his brother and Balak does not consider him family either.

I will explore his family past and such plus current relations as I develop the character further through roleplaying :)

@PrivateVentures

I always viewed the Batarians as that. Straight to the point.

By the way, I'm a huge nerd when it comes to making up religions, history and culture inspired by others in our history. So you'll see more of the deep inner beliefs of Ja'Far as we roleplay

@Dervish

I'd love ta help <3 I just like history I guess XD. I'm one of those weird people who pays attention in history class. I'd definitely be interested in an RP of that type

@Silver Fox

I'm sure Ja'Far would love to work with an unfeeling Geth mostly due to the fact that such an artificial being wouldn't be able to ascend to the afterlife like him because their eyes are not compatible with the scriptures.

Which, if they will be working together frequently, he will be quoting and lecturing Phalanx on. It'll definitely create an interesting bond between him and the Geth.

Also, badass snipers for the win!!

<Snipped quote by Dervish>

Sorry about that. I made a human because I'm pretty unfamiliar with most of the species in the ME universe, at least unfamiliar to the finer points of their culture. I'll learn as Ellis learns.

I'm glad you like my idea. Could also prove interesting on the battlefield, as they learn to work together, one another's strengths and weaknesses and such.

Is this side arc @BlackSam3091 approved?

@SgtEasy I really liked the sheet, was an a great read and as good an insight into Batarian culture as I've ever seen in fanon. Really nothing I see that needs fixing.

@Silver Fox Feel free to slide on into the CS tab.
