Have you ever thought to yourself, man, that Commander Shepard person sure was great... but there was no way he did everything alone, right? Or even just his crew! Stories tell of the Normandy, and the heroes aboard it that aided the Commander in saving the Galaxy from the Reapers. But... there were other soldiers, right? Other groups? It couldn't have been JUST Shepard out there... right?

And that was where the B Team came in, a smaller group in a Not-So-Experimental Frigate of their own. They had a similar job to the crew of the Normandy. Go out, meet allies, help them against the Reapers, earn their trust and support to take back Earth. Simple right? Well, it's not quite as simple when you're not the Man...Woman? The Myth, the Legend Him/Herself, Commander Shepard.

Things are tougher when your Commander's first words are "Me? A Commander? But, why me? No like, literally, why specifically ME."

------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is basically just a RP taking place during Mass Effect 3. The Reaper invasion is in full swing, Earth is all but gone with little more than a resistance on the surface, and the Alliance is trying to pull together support for an all out assault to take it back.

Our team is literally just a second team doing the same thing as the Normandy, but without being all that special, at least, that's the description that would be given in official reports. Obviously our characters will be more special than you'd be lead to believe, rather skilled in their own rights, even if they make... mistakes.

This is intended to be a more light hearted side to the Reaper Invasion, with a team of misfits strung together from 'Whatever the Alliance could get their hands on', so you can imagine they're not entirely cut out for the mission they're put on. But hopefully, they'll get it done, with as little screaming and panicking as possible.

I'd like to focus on characters that aren't just 'They've been a soldier for years, they're a great shot and can easily keep their cool in a fight'. I'm more looking for people to play "Jim from accounting was given a gun and told to go save the world. This is working as intended. Welcome to N7 Bucko."

Comedy would be a good description, but we'll have plenty of serious moments too.

All the 'normal' races are acceptable. This means:

Human
Asari
Turian
Krogan
Quarian

And yes, Salarian is acceptable as long as you understand the race. It has been stated in lore that Salarian aren't just smarter and socially different because they are raised differently, or because they have a different mindset. They LITERALLY have a different perception of the world around them, and don't think like other races, especially humans do.

Potentially Drell and Volus too?

Basically Humanoid Citadel races, and Normandy races only. No Elcor, no Hanar, No Geth (They're still all at war.), No Vorcha or Batarians, no Threshers, and no Pyjaks. I think you get the point. If they serve on the Normandy at any point, they're acceptable. And Volus because you gotta love the little bastards.

So anyone interested?

@Shandria I am interested in this, would a fresh-faced graduate of the Asari training schools be on-track for the right type of character?

Yeah seems about right to me. Basically anyone is fine as long as they aren't someone who is both trained, and experienced in the field. Fresh out of training is fine, because they lack the actual knowledge of what it's like to be out in the field.

Would a loose cannon detective on the edge fired from C-Sec for his maverick ways and decided to join the crew be acceptable? Skills include Punching, Shooting, and Driving. Skills do not include investigation, any form of paperwork or playing by the book.

Yeah, that's fine xD Although as I'll detail in the OOC, people were chosen, not volunteered. After all probably anyone would volunteer for what they think is getting away from the action and going on a 'vacation' from world to world being a negotiator.

I'll probably keep this to 4-5 people including myself, just to keep it with that feeling of a squad like Mass Effect always had.

I'm thinking a lot of things with this team would be lost in translation so to speak, as the Alliance Command is having a hell of a time coordinating things, so people end up where they weren't meant to be... like, I don't know, an actual doctor being the Commander.

100% DTR (Down to Roleplay) Hopefully I can tag along, maybe some kind of engineer or gunsmith that has never seen real combat before?

Sounds good, I'll work on the OOC right now.

Consider me interested as well! Always nice to have something Mass Effect related, especially during the Reaper War and all it's apocalyptic finality.

OOC is up here
