BATIA DISTRICT

---

_Information

Located in the often disregarded Bachjret Ward, Batia District is home to one of the remaining and largest communities of batarians in the Citadel. While often seen around the ward, they are self-isolated from the general public. There are several theories among the residents, but the most popular one is that the Hegemony surveils them without the Council's knowledge. But, it's most likely that they choose to be with their own since the Citadel species disregard them as ignorable. However, the batarians have been rather outspoken of human residence within both the district and ward.

Humans, meanwhile, began moving into Bachjret Ward shortly after investors from Bekenstein started to finance the ward. Batia District was renamed to Sabina District as a signal to the Citadel species that humanity had big plans in place. The name change was so widely disliked by the residents that a petition was released, demanding that the original name remained. Currently, the petition is expected to be heard by the Council in six months due to it being a low priority. But, for the most part, humans are somewhat respected and treated decently by the residents except for the batarians.

Strangely, the district also features a sizable krogan population that resides within the lower levels due to their disdain for the Citadel species and constant profiling by C-Sec officers. The persecution got terrible enough that they assigned Trok Strigora to be their spokesperson regarding krogan matters. Strigora might be the only krogan able to tolerate other species long enough to hear them out. As a result, clan Strigora often finds themselves having to deal with C-Sec captain, Marcetis Caelcus, over complex issues that have existed for centuries.

_{Bachjret Ward}

Bachjret Ward is the fourth arm of the Citadel and home to a recent influx of humans. Originally, there was a solid batarian population in the ward before the Hegemony closed their embassy and severed diplomatic and economic relations with Citadel. Most gathered their belongings and left for batarian space, but some chose to stay behind. Those that remained weren't making enough noise for the Citadel species and C-Sec to noticed. That was until humans began moving to Bachjret at record numbers. And the recent influx hasn't helped calm both sides down.

Plenty of humans are suspicious of the batarians believing that they are working for the Hegemony to sabotage their chances in the ward. While the batarians are concerned that the humans are working with the Council to evict one of the remaining batarian communities on the Citadel from the exodus that happened twelve years ago. There are now concerns that tensions between humans and batarians could escalate into something consequential. In response, C-Sec increased patrols and assigned more officers into the ward to maintain peace and stability.

Bachjret is ranked one of the poorest wards in the Citadel due to an economic depression occurring shortly after the batarian withdrawal. Although the influx of humans is reviving the local economy, its turbulent history causes investors to focus on the other wards instead. But with the success of the nearby Alliance planet of Bekenstein, human investors began to look for opportunity at the Citadel itself and found out about Bachjret Ward. With pressure from Ambassador Udina and the human embassy on the Presidium, the Council eventually granted humans the rights to develop from the already existing districts within the ward.

However, the Council requires that any modification to said districts respect other species living there. To ensure that they had as much freedom as possible, the humans selected Batia District due to the low population of Citadel species. But, they didn't realize about the batarians until the paperwork was filed. Nowadays, relations between both species are strained at best and openly hostile at worst. But so far, neither side has caused violence to the other.

MASS EFFECT: KINGSLAYER

_OPENING

In the year 2183, the Citadel Council revokes the Spectre status of their prized agent after evidence surfaced of his assault against a human colony. The first human Spectre is ordered to either eliminate or capture the rogue agent—no matter the cost. However, during a race against time, C-Sec unearths a major leak within the Council that reveals an old contact of the rogue Spectre was intercepting reports filed by the human Spectre. Realizing that someone managed to infiltrate the governing body causes the councilors to act immediately.

In a classified location, the councilors (along with the human ambassador) meet with Venari Pallin, executor of C-Sec, to initialize Operation Kingslayer. Further digging reveals that the rogue agent was using his resources within the Citadel and C-Sec to undermine both the human Spectre and the Council. Kingslayer's purpose is to eradicate Saren's remaining influence upon Citadel space. But, it needs individuals capable of fighting tooth and nail to complete the objective and stand firm against a rogue Spectre.

Individuals that are willing to become kingslayers...

_INFORMATION

With the release of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and replaying the trilogy again, I am reminded once more that I love the series so much. So, I decided to focus my energy on Kingslayer (an idea that I had in my head for a year). Influenced mainly by Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Narcos, I want to tell a story of the Citadel Council being forced to get their hands dirty. And create a task force (fireteam?) to respond to Saren's transactions within Citadel Space. Of course, Commander Shepard is still around and hunting down the rogue Spectre.

But, a different type of individual is required to deal with accountants, financial backers, and bookkeepers, along with the occasional corrupt C-Sec officers and mercenaries. In this case, several are needed.

A team will be assembled that isn't tied directly to the Citadel Council and easily discarded if they end up failing. The species doesn't matter as long as their record is near perfection in order to ruin Saren's empire (Of course, though, you won't see geth or yahg within the group. If you want to play hanar, volus, or elcor, you need to consider their limitations and work extra hard on your sheet). But still, they need to be mindful of their actions and decisions or face the wrath of the Council themselves (and C-Sec, if you fuck around with them).

_GUILDLINES

– Forum rules apply
– No godmodding, meta-gaming, mary/gary sues, etc.
– Romance with other character and NPCs are allowed
– Your characters can die if they aren't careful and do something foolish
– Equipment must be limited to the first game (no M-96 Mattock, for example). No high level weapons.
– Powers, on the other hand, aren't limited.
– Approved species only. No geth, collectors, etc. Hanar, volus, or elcor are allowed as long you have considered their limitations and the sheet is excellent.
– Your characters aren't technically working for the Council and C-Sec. Basically, if you are gonna committee crimes in the name of the Citadel Council, just know that the Council will easily discredit your words.

– If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Mass Effect: Kingslayer

Since the majority wants a discord server, I made one for anyone to join (even those that are on the fence).

Hope you enjoy it!

Mass Effect: Kingslayer

I'd prefer there be no discord server since they could be distracting. Unless a majority of you guys think otherwise.

Mass Effect: Kingslayer

I should note a couple of things:
1. All abilities are hard-locked to the class you selected.

2. Some of the weapons from the second game are allowed (like the M-12 Locust) but I will decide which weapons would've been around during the events of the first game.

3. I should mention this detail before I forget. All of the characters will be living in a former C-Sec safehouse (aka a three bedroom middle-class income apartment) within a district (still deciding what name to use) on Bachjret Ward. There will be a ship for us to travel to other worlds with, but it's a standard freighter that isn't designed for long-term living.

Mass Effect: Kingslayer

Well, I hate to say it but the OOC won't be posted today. I have to rework the characters' place of living and my character isn't done. However, I did manage to finish the character sheet. So, if you wish to start working on your character, go ahead! Just be sure to read the guidelines. Just make sure not to use anime pictures for your character.

Well, it's good to see people interested! I will have the ooc, along with the character sheet, up tomorrow. As for the number of people that I'm accepting, it's going to be 5-6 characters (might be one more but that depends on a lot of things).

And the roleplay will remain casual.

QUOTE "I can't be in here. I'm not who I feel. It's now change or die. I need this to be."

PROFILE Full Name: Jorge Vaz Henriques Date of Birth: 2154, August 8th Species: Human Gender: Male Age: 29 Occupation: Former SIED Agent & Alliance Marines / Hired Gun Service Rank: Staff Lieutenant Profile: Infiltrator Powers: Sabotage Tactical Cloak Decryption Damping Belongings: Medium Skirmish Armor – III Equalizer Sniper Rifle - V Stiletto Pistol - III Nexus Omni Tool - IV Pocket Knife Role: Lead contact of Kingslayer

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

WIP

DETAILED HISTORY

Four years old. That was how old Jorge Henriques was when humanity made contact with life beyond the Sol System. He didn't remember much of it besides his parents getting concerned. And given that they were living in Benning, their concerns were rightfully justified with Shanxi being captured by the turians. It wasn't until peace prevailed that there was a sense of normality. But, something in his father changed after that event. He started to resent turians and distrust aliens so much to the point that his wife began to worry. Before she had the chance to confront him about it, tragedy struck.

A major element zero leak occurred near their apartment and exposed the entire block, giving some of the children biotics. Unfortunately, it also resulted in sudden cardiac arrest with several older individuals. She was among the victims in what officials declared a "terrible accident." But, with the loss of his lover, Jorge's father went deeper into his hatred for aliens as a coping mechanism. Jorge was forced to watch, at a young age, his father's slow decline into conspiracies and other nonsense. His grandparents realized this and fought for custody of their grandson at court.

Thankfully, the court ruled in favor of them and Jorge moved to Earth at the start of high school. He lost contact with his father after leaving Benning and never made any attempts. On Earth, he lived a better life in his grandparent's villa in Lisbon and attended the best schools in the country. But instead of going to university, Jorge joined the country's foreign intelligence service and rose through the positions. It wasn't until tensions with the batarians rose that he was transferred over to the Alliance. There he started to develop a talent with the sniper rifle.

Then, the Skyllian Blitz happened. And a few years later, the Alliance launched a major offensive against Torfan
in retaliation for Elysium. Jorge witnessed first hand the unmerciful Butcher of Torfan at work, commanding that he and other marines wipe the batarians out. He refused to talk about what took place on that moon and retired from the Alliance shortly after. However, his thirst for warfare and combat never truly left him. Jorge understood that C-Sec wasn't ever going to be enough to be satisfied. So instead, he became a hired gun for the various mercenary groups.

But, it was the Blue Suns that provided Jorge with a sturdy source of credits and work. Hell, he was starting to like it. Then, he vanished shortly after being contracted out of the blue from an anonymous source. Nobody understood why he ran into hiding, but that wasn't the truth. Jorge knew that the source was legitimate after it mentioned his work during SIED on Earth. So, he gathered his things and departed for the location that the contract gave out. It was at the Citadel and inside the luxurious Presidium which was rather unusual to meet someone until he saw both Executor Pallin and Ambassador Udina in the same room.

Then, everything began to make sense.

Pallin explained that the Council...

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

_{Treasure Island Navy Base, San Francisco}

Connected to Yerba Buena Island and Interstate 80, Treasure Island stood proudly as one of the country's first artificial islands. Previously the nearby island, Yerba Buena, was used as a training station during the Great War. Then, it closed down and left abandoned for decades. That was until millionaire Lewis Harrison proposed plans of a "miniature city" as a solution to San Francisco's recent population boom. Initially, there were only a handful of backers due to the rise of the Marincello development project. However, the McWilliams administration took notice of the proposal and invited Harrison to the White House.

After private talks on the matter, an agreement was reached between both parties, with the government assisting in constructing the artificial island. But then, the administration ended abruptly with President McWilliams' assassination in 1939. With the new Lindbergh administration, the agreement ended up being void, and the government straight-up took up the land. Lewis sued the government for taking his privately owned land without cause, but the lawsuit was tossed out in a year. Meanwhile, the United States Navy moved in to secure the land and build a naval testing facility for submarines. It still functioned like any other naval base, but with the Japanese threat growing, the Pacific Fleet needed to prepare for possible war.

Thus, Treasure Island Naval Base was born.

Officials began moving to the artificial island almost two years, but testing didn't start until a year ago. One of those people was General Patrick Noel. Patrick joined the military right after his own father, a Great War veteran, was arrested during the Great Cleansing. He had a lot to prove to his superiors, who feared that he was like his traitorous father. And that hard work and determination earned him the rank of General. Now, his services were needed to protect their only colony in Asia: the Philippines. Governor-General Norman Merino-Lowe requested reinforcements after Japanese forces took the Dutch city of Soerabaja.

Patrick honestly didn't give two shit about some backwater colony; however, the American government cared enough to approve the Governor-General's request. The former Spanish colony was still rich with mineral resources essential to the "continued development of the United States." Of course, it was also valuable to keep an eye on both China and Japan in case they were planning something sinister against America. Losing the colony island would put the country at a severe disadvantage, leaving only Hawaii as the significant naval base in the Pacific.

However, high command didn't care about how Patrick felt about the assignment. They expected him to follow through or face the consequences. And based on what happened to his own father after being punished, Patrick understood it was stupid to resist. But it meant telling his wife the bad news. She assumed that the naval base was going to be easy sailings until his retirement. And now, her husband was a heartfelt letter instead of telling her in person. While finishing off the letter, Patrick got a knock on the door.

"The ship is ready to depart in a few minutes, sir." the voice on the other side announced.

"I will be there in a few." Patrick responded and then waited a second before sighing. He processed to finish the letter and sealed it up in an envelope. Then, he departed for the post office located near the docks. The USS Benham was waiting nearby when the general entered inside. There weren't a ton of people inside besides the workers. He made his way to the PO box and then processed to drop the envelope before leaving without saying anything to the clerk. Outside, he took in a deep breath and then marched his way towards the destroyer.
