Unironically read that guy's book, but that's a discussion for the discord later on haha

Wait a minute, you wrote a book?

@AWACS

Ye lmao links on my profile. Spent like 3 years on it or some shit and published it proper in July this year. Still very small in recognition but it is what it is

Don't worry I won't bring it up at every opportunity during the RP lmao

[ Mass Effect ] - Intervention | Small/Large group RP

Alrighty, I'll make some early drafts of the OOC post soonish but I'll try to save it until the end of the week to see if we can save time for those who might be interested but not seen it yet.

Also, just to confirm, I'll most likely put an OOC discord channel on the server I use that hosts OOCs, just cause it's easier to talk on the fly, but I will still have the actual thread OOC be in place for discussion. Are you all okay with this?

Oh no worries! I'm just curious to see what other kinds of races were playable. I didn't have a specific idea in mind yet. Well except for blasto 2.0 but that's more a fun meme type character to play as.

@Moon Man

I promise at some point I will let you write an entire post where you play out a Blasto Reboot screening

Gotcha, how about some of the more less desirable races like the Vorcha or Yahg (Like the shadow broker)?

@Moon Man

Hmm, maybe, if there's a strong reason for the Council to choose them to be on the SSV-Intervention then there's a very slight chance one could end up on it. What I'd say is that the Security Fleet would mostly be open to most council and ambassador based Citadel races that are fit for service. Volus I'll probably allow, but otherwise suspect the usual headliners (Krogan, Human, Salarian, Turian, Asari, Quarian) + batarians + drell. Those outside basically I'd like to introduce overtime, start simple with that "formal setting" for story purposes and have the wider galaxy open up as they head out. Keep in mind the galactic connectivity has only recently reached appropriate levels.

Hoping the wild stuff will come after things have been established so we don't blow our fuses on the more crazy aspects in one go haha

Sorry if it seems like I'm shutting down ideas though : (

Wrong answer. You were supposed to say, "Buying my book is already more research than i'd probably require"

@Yam I Am

based and shillpilled

[ Mass Effect ] - Intervention | Small/Large group RP

I've only played ME1, but I bought Stuff's book.

What happens if I bump the thread?

@Yam I Am

You win. That's it. You've done it. You've won.

Honestly playing ME1 all the way through is already more research than I'd probably require lmao

[ Mass Effect ] - Intervention | Small/Large group RP

I gotta throw my interest in. I’m out right now but I’ll get some preemptive ideas thought up

@PrankFox

Incredible incredible incredible

<Snipped quote by LetMeDoStuff>

I'm gonna be basic and go with a human, a survivor from the final assault on the transporter to the Citadel on Earth. I'm also thinking of having him be an engineer so there's someone to help out with the technical stuff in the field. Plus, someone's gotta keep the ship and equipment in working order!

@Daxam

Someone's gotta be the human at some point. Could imagine at least one being the 'Alliance Liaison' set to the ship, seeing as it's technically on lease.

Hmmm, I always like MAss effect, and a MAss effect RP would be a good comeback after my years away from this site...

I just have to ask... Is there room for 'logical deviation'? >3>

As the first example I can think of, the whole galaxy basically shut down for several years, no grand empires, no great alliances, no active galaxy wide force... not to mention the crashed technology everywhere, reapers or otherwise, on all kinds of worlds... what if a new, or several new species, who would've been part of the 'next' cycle, made their leaps to the space-age, or may have already been so for a bit but well hidden, or simply small enough not to matter, fringe world, etc. etc. XD

Basically, is there room for new species to appear on the galactic stage, or even just starting to appear among the populations.

@Shoryu

For now, I'd say "it's unknown". I've toyed with the idea of that coming into the story later on with other planned story beats, but for characters I'd say we should stick to what we have. It's only been four years since the reaper invasion was squashed, so maybe on a colony or two some new smaller races may remain undiscovered however as for the starting characters of the SSV-Intervention, we'll keep it as is for now. If it does come up as a plot point, I'd be happy to allow a second character to join a new species' ranks though, kind of like the lads and lasses you bring aboard the Normandy throughout ME1.

I'd like to do a Biotic character.
