Sadly due to @Lord Wraiths curse, if he doesn't do any excessively complicated code in a thread he shrivels up into an old man.

Any late-comers who haven't posted yet, let me know if you would rather arrive at a different location

@Havoccultist plenty of franchises have A.I. ships, hell even a Halo ship could theoretically just be ran by an A.I.

True. On that note I have a bit of an unorthodox idea that's been stewing, so just hear me out. I was thinking of playing a Sovereign/Capital-class Reaper, but one from an alternate Mass Effect universe in which Shepard chose the Synthesis ending. That way there's no harvesting or husking going on, and the Reaper itself can be individualized enough to be playable--on account of the organic perspective it had beamed into it--while still being a semi-effective death machine when needed.

And I only say semi-effective cause almost every other sci-fi universe outdoes Mass Effect in terms of firepower.

Also I had considered going with a Forerunner ship, be that ancilla controlled or not, but that led me to come up with a whole fanfic idea that involves Bungie's original humans are descended from Forerunners lore and a contender class metarch being sent a hundred thousand years into the future to the events of Halo 2 thanks to a slipspace drive malfunction...

And I'm saving the copious amounts of lore I outlined for that at 3 AM for a solo project. So no Forerunner constructs this time around I'm afraid.

@Havoccultist you know its a good time where you go 'I have an idea' then go down a rabbit hole of self exploration

Yes. And as much as I'd love to bring Confrontational Bias into this, three Sojourner-class dreadnoughts (which are just his core vessels by the way) is a bit much. So once again, friendly neighborhood Reaper idea it is, assuming that's alright with you of course.

I'd need someone more familiar with ME to fill me in, including yourself potentially. I know we have some... questionable characters (Who possibly have their own Agenda) but I thought that the Reapers were basically the Anti-Life equation in ship form?




My PERSONAL post stuff is up. I'll do the GM stuff tomorrow if work goes well.

They are machines designed by an AI who was designed by the Leviathans to find a means by which synthetics and organics could stop killing each other for good. Cause the Leviathans kept thrall races thanks to their biotics and telepathy, but these species kept making artificial life that rebelled and killed them. So ME Reapers are an attempt to solve what I like to call the AM or Skynet Dilemma. The Synthesis ending just does the following to the galaxy:

Synthesis (Green) - Shepard leaps into the Crucible's energy beam, and the Crucible emits an energy pulse that converts all life in the galaxy on the molecular level, causing all organic life to have partially synthetic traits and vice versa.


It gives them both understanding of one another and magically fixes the whole synthetics and organics cannot understand one another problem that leads to AI uprisings, like the Reapers/Catalyst (their governing AI), who offed their Leviathan makers once they saw them as part of the problem too.

As far as capabilities go, a standard Reaper is kinda weaksauce weapon wise. Like its main gun only gets up to 450 kilotons of TNT, which is about on par with the bomb dropped on Hiroshima for reference. Powerful, for the setting it's in and our own universe. Weak compared to literally everything else, including what the Star Wars universe can dish out. And indoctrination is something I imagine they've stopped doing in the Synthesis timeline. Cause they have no reason to harvest anymore and aren't all: "WE ARE THE FINAL SOLUTION."

@Sep I feel like you forgot that Tails responded to Hammond's message. I didn't see anything in your response to the Blue Typhoon. I could've missed something though.

I re-read your posts and can't see where they addressed the Hammond, can you quote it to show me where? I see you replied to the Malevolence, but no the Hammond

I see it now, but it's all good as Mitchell and Vala are now on the planet, so they can see them.
