Mass Effect: Downfall

The year is 2186 CE. The Reapers have broken through the Alliance Navy’s Defence lines and have made a beeline straight for Earth which now lays under siege. Other systems will soon follow. However – the galaxy’s only hope is dead. Shepard, along with the rest of the Normandy Crew are dead. – Killed whilst assaulting the Collector Base beyond the Omega 4 relay.

Now the galaxy is sure to be harvested, and the cycle will continue. Unless you can stop them!
Before communication was cut off from Admiral Hackett, he had ordered any Alliance Personnel available to investigate the human colony on Arcadia. What will be discovered there is unknown, but it may be key in finding a way to defeat the Reapers.

For those who are unable to are advised to retreat to the Citadel as soon as they are able, here a galactic conference is taking place. It is here that an official plan to deal with the Reapers will be produced.

@Kurai Assassin

Accepted.

Also I forgot to add the Starting Assets on the character Apps. Players can choose up to two, but greed may come with a price. ^^

[Kurai Assassin]

@Legion-114

well i guess i took the stealth ship and the heavy warship. (guessing you can still have a fireteam, except you just get a bunch of noobs)

@Kurai Assassin

Choosing the either the Warship or the Stealth Ship gives you the crew that goes along with them, however most of them are Red Shirts.

[Legion-114]

@Kurai Assassin

Also did you have any names in mind for the ships?

[Kurai Assassin]

The stealth ship: The Ghost of Praven/Vakarian (Ghost of Praven to the rest of the Turian military. Ghost of Vakarian to everyone else)
The Warship: Ad Victoriam

[The Fated Fallen]

Thanks for telling me this RP is up, I'll get to work on a character promptly

[Legion-114]

Name: Chimera
Race: Reaper
Age: 315 Cycles
Class: Sovereign

Hider

Appearance:

Military Rank: Vanguard

Personality: Chimera is a bit of an outlier when compared to other Reapers, he was jealous of Sovereign been chosen as the Vanguard of this cycle, believing that had ‘he’ been chosen, the Reapers would have already harvested the sentient races.

Background: Chimera was created 315-6 Cycles ago. Chimera was chosen to be the Vanguard of one hundred cycles throughout his ‘career’ as a Reaper, all which resulted in successful harvest without any abnormal levels of resistance.

Within his 30th Cycle, Chimera had decided it best to create a new ‘Staging Station’, the design was modified from the Citadel, focusing more on production and harvesting facilities where he would keep an army which he used when he was appointed as Vanguard. Each Cycle added more to the facility, making it more effective.

However, when Sovereign was chosen to be the Vanguard, Chimera grew jealous. He had been denied several Vanguard Cycles. Once word got out that Sovereign had been defeated. Chimera made it known that had he been picked, the failure would not have happened.

@Legion-114

@Kurai Assassin

Good, your assets have been added. You currently have 300 Military Strength. 2000 is needed for a Head to Head battle with a Reaper. But there's always another way.

[Kurai Assassin]

@Legion-114 ok cool. when we starting

[Legion-114]

@Kurai Assassin

Would like at least 3 more players.

[Kurai Assassin]

ok

[The Fated Fallen]

Name: Kaelyn Lansing
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 29
Class: Soldier
Appearance: Heavy armour among the standards of the finest in alliance technology, allowing for freedom of movement and optimal protection. It is painted dark red, though this coat has peeled and come away in places due to advanced wear to reveal a dark grey underlay. It also has a decayed kinetic barrier generator, due to long operation without advanced repair, making it far weaker in the shield department than most other special forces, but most of her work in the Blue Suns was without a kinetic barrier, so she relies much more heavily on raw protection, injury response systems and flat-out toughness to stay in any fight
Shoulder length black hair and blue eyes. She has a scar under her right eye and across her nose, as well as burn mark across her neck

Military Rank: Alliance Privateer
Personality: Out for her crew first, anything is not even secondary in comparison. Short of that, she is often jokey and flirtatious, rarely using her considerable force to achieve what she wants

Background: Colony born in the terminus systems, Kaelyn learnt how to defend herself at an early age from pirates and raiders (or pirate raiders). At the age of 14 her family and her left to return back to safer citadel space, where her parents retired on Illum.
To earn a living, Kaelyn and her brother, Benjamin worked as intel operatives for a local crime lord. Long story short, they got on the wrong side of The Eclipse, which is not a good idea. To escape Illum, an Eclipse stronghold, Kaelyn and Benjamin shipped off to Omega. They worked oddjobs for The Blue Suns before being enrolled as fully fledged mercenaries 2 years later. From the ages of 18 to 23 Kaelyn operated in the Blue Suns, while her brother left to join the Alliance she stayed on. Eventually she was headhunted after a reccomendation by her brother, and was assigned to a privateer vessel due to her contacts in the mercenary underworld and extensive knowledge of the fringe worlds
Since then she has served as head of security aboard the 'Every Dawn' under Captain Maurrinus (a male Turian), paid by the alliance to hit various targets of importance to smuggling operations and pirates, off the records of course

Captain Maurrinus often accompanies her and her team on away missions, but relies wholly on her judgement. As the crew says, "On the ship, salute whoever sits in the chair. On the ground, salute whoever has the guns. Not the bloody enemy though."

Starting War Asset:
Stealth Ship: The Every Dawn, a Turian frigate with a crew of 35 (8 combat personel), based strongly off technology used in the Normandy SR1. Has a far smaller budget than the Normandy, it lacks heavy ship-to-ship weaponry and is more focused on ground deployment and support
Veteran Fireteam: A motley crew of mercenaries, The Every Dawn also holds a sizable compartment to hold heavy weapons and MAKO, that can be deployed directly in atmosphere

@The Fated Fallen

Accepted.
