This is the place I would like to discuss ways to adapt the game mechanics of mass effect to our roleplay in some way. I believe this will enrich our story in a wonderful way as well as making it really feel like we are playing in the unique style of mass effect.
The first idea is a simple one, to add a dossier to to the top of our applications in the style of mass effect 2. This would be the file of information which the corsair have on us in order to determine if we are suitable for recruitment. Keep in mind these are very brief and would only be the information that would be somewhat public. This is what other players would know about you before meeting you. First we would title our application and the dossier with a simple title. This is a sort of nickname, usually not one you are actually called, but rather your role or profession. Examples from the game include, Archangel, The Justicar, The Master Thief, The Veteran, The Warlord, The Professor, The Convict, and The Assassin. For my character I've chosen The Cybernetic Paramedic. Here are those from the game.
Dossier: The Assassin
Thane Krios
-Quick-kill biotic specialist
-Expert sniper
Thane Krios is a drell trained from childhood as an elite assassin, proficient in both long-range sniping kills and close infiltration. He has slowed his activities in recent years but is rumored to have a target on Illium.
Dossier: The Convict
Jack (no last name known)
- Exceptional biotic ability
- Note: Criminal background, currently in custody
Jack is rumored to be the most powerful human biotic ever encountered. Very little additional data regarding Jack is available, except that the subject has a history of violence and should be approached carefully. Currently, Jack is being held on the turian prison ship Purgatory. Cerberus has negotiated for the prisoner's release.
Dossier: The Justicar
Justicar Samara
-Biotics strength near that of an asari matriarch
-Extensive weapons training
Samara is a justicar, a rare member of an asari monoastic group trained in enhanced combat biotics alongside standard weapons. Samara was recently sighted on Illium, outside of normal asari space.
Dossier: The Professor
Dr. Mordin Solus
- Biological weapons expert
- Light weapons training with Salarian Special Tasks Group
Dr. Mordin Solus is a salarian biological weapons expert whose technology may hold the key to countering Collector attacks. He is currently operating a medical clinic in the slums of Omega.
Dossier: The Warlord
Dr. Okeer
- Millennia of combat and strategic experience
- Rumored familiarity with Collector technology
A brilliant and brutal krogan warlord who fought in the Krogan Rebellions, Dr. Okeer has become obsessed with saving the krogan people from the genophage and is believed to have contacted the Collectors in an attempt to gain technology to that end. He is currently in a Blue Suns camp on Korlus, though the nature of his relationship with the mercenary group is unknown.
Dossier: Archangel
Archangel
- Small-unit tactical expertise
- Omni-tool expert and noted sniper
Archangel is a mercenary commander whose operations are noted for their technical expertise and strategic brilliance. He is responsible for high-profile attacks on gang leaders on Omega and can likely be found there.
Dossier: Tali
Tali'Zorah vas Neema
-Expert in combat tech, systems hacking
-Strong engineering background, familiar with Normandy
Formerly listed as Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, the quarian engineer earned her adult name after helping Shepard defeat Saren two years ago. Tali is currently on a classified assignment for the Migrant Fleet Admiralty Board on Haestrom, deep in geth-controlled space.
Dossier: The Veteran
Zaeed Massani
- Expert in both personal and small unit combat
- Unparalleled mercenary solider and bounty hunter
- Known for a willingness to get the job done, no matter the cost
Zaeed Massani is, without a doubt, the most feared mercenary and bounty hunter in the galaxy. His services have been retained by Cerberus at extremely high cost. He is currently awaiting pickup on Omega.
So the guideline is...
Title
- Primary skill
- Secondary skill
Brief background with information on their current location and status.
Keep it very brief. In other words don't make it any longer than those from the game. The real in depth information will be in your application, this should be rather simplistic. Basically make this the description of why the Corsair would want to recruit you and what role you would fill. I know it's hard to condense your character like this, but really just hit on the most major points that you want others to know about you.
