Well depending on what the general consensus will be I think I can work up on a vanguard character idea I have, although it only got as far as an idea mind you lol. God I remember the good days of gun with no thermal clips. it was all about controlling your weapon well enough to avoid overheating it, I see from other character powers and skills that powers and skills are quite open for as long as it not Mary sue like for example. 

Thanks for answering my concerns though and looks like if the green light is given, then I would sort out powers and skills/abilities. small weapon load out as a vanguard mostly concentrate on their biotics which also give me the first weakness being long range combat and possibly sticking to light armour. One other idea I had which i would like to put up to find out if it a no no or not is weather it is aloud to be a former N7 operative as those do exist in the 2176CE time frame.
