The Overhead

Mass Effect: Harpocrates is a series of stories set in the Mass Effect universe starting in 2183, three years before the devastating invasion of the Milky Way by the threat that will come to be known as the Reapers. Optimistically, the storylines presented will gradually take us through and past the events of the Reaper Invasion.

Players will create individuals who have been recruited as part of a response team tasked with operations that range from search and rescue, investigation, subterfuge, and more.
How Did We Get Involved In This?

This is the question that all six members of the Harpocrates Initiative will be asking themselves sooner or later.

Your character is a specialist. A person who has spent their life trying to figure things out and as a byproduct obtained an assortment of skills that make them one of the very best at what they do and generally being the best at what they do gets guns pointed at them. Often. For one reason or another, your character is either in dire straits or consistently unhappy in whatever that current situation they are in and are receptive to getting a job offer–a discreet, low information job offer in their inbox from the ExoGeni Corporation, a interstellar company headquartered on Eden Prime. It is a curious one, given the peculiarities of the offer to meet with the chief CEO of the company as soon as possible. It doesn’t take long for them to be on route to Eden Prime within days of the message.

The offer, as it turns out, is on a “need-to-know” basis. NDA’s are signed. ExoGeni has a dire situation about an attacked facility of theirs. They need a response team that goes beyond their current operatives and one that is away from the eyes of accountability of both the Systems Alliance and any other governing body. Your character, being an independent contractor, is offered the job of a lifetime but it is also riskier than anything they’ve ever encountered before. Something about the job compels them to say yes beyond the pay. It isn’t long before they are suiting up for a job with seven other people. Seven other specialists.

And so it begins.

Character Sheet

The Character Sheet should be pretty straightforward. Only change the [color=yellow] tag with your corresponding character color when creating your character application. When posted in here for review, post in the OOC in a hider or it will be automatically rejected.

Characters should be skilled individuals with flaws. I am not looking for complete amoral psychopaths but well-rounded characters who have the ability to grow with the role-play and the decided cast of characters. if you have any questions regarding the content of the sections of the sheet please post the question here in the OOC or send me a message privately if needed. Additionally, characters will be limited to the following races for story convienances: Human, Asari, Turian, Salarian, Quarian, Drell, and Krogan. ExoGeni is not a “Humanity First” organization, but they are a human corporation so keep that in mind if you want. It won't effect acceptance.

Some useful resources include the wiki's summarization of the timeline, classifications, and weapons.

I think the Character Sheet link isn't working.

When I clicked on it, it takes me to another page that says "Not Found".

Should be fixed now. Apparently I linked to the one in my PMs and not the one in my public testing thread because I am a transcendent dumbass.

I've pitched my concept to the boss and got the go-ahead to continue my creation process; I'll be crafting a veteran human soldier. Can't wait to see what everyone has going on.

My concept is quite simply a youngster (he thinks that 27 is still young) human infiltrator.

@Mao Mao @Fading Memory I've read over the notes both of you have (or well, Mao's WIP CS in their testing thread and FM's discord thoughts) and the characters you make have a obscene amount of overlap. Torfan participant, soldier/infilitrator, etc. Might be worth it to diversify these a little so that both characters don't conveniently cover the same ground. Assuming you both make sheets that are capable of getting into the RP, someone will probably have to make slight changes or I'll have to pick and choose.

It's open application. Nobody has a reserved slot.

Two questions regarding the timeline:
Given the starting year, Tech Armor isn't a thing yet, is it?
Is this before or after the switch to thermal clips?

Thermal Clips were not actively introduced to mainstream weapons until the Geth Invasion of the Citadel which has not happened. The attack on Eden Prime hasn't even happened yet. As for armor, I don't recall but probably.
