Full view plz~


They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)
Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
There's nothing left
So save your breath
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown
No where to go
Holding your fate
(Loaded I will walk alone)
Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
Wanted it back
(Don't fight me now)
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

- Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin



From Left to Right~

Medes Calas - A Salarian rogue. Her whole family was slaughtered by humans in the settlement they shared. Only Medes and her cousin survived. They escaped and found a cult of outcast Salarians and joined with them. Medes is gifted in mechanics (and she's pretty young so she hasn't had any old-timer moments yet). She could build a ship by memory.
Medes was genetically altered when she was young, giving her human characteristics. Her emotions run deeper and she acts on impulse rather than logic... She rescued a survivor Rachni, who she then befriended.

Kimnor Eno - A Quarian assassin. He doesn't belong to any particular ship, and travels around as more of a nomad. He keeps to himself mostly, living by the money he earns. (he needs a girlfriend)

Willow Shepard (my Fem!Shep that i play as) - A Ruthless, Earth born Renegader. She gets the job done. In ME2 (i don't have the first game) she had a romantic relationship with Thane. (and i like to pretend she was close friends with Garrus, Tali and Mordin) She doesn't put up with Miranda or Jacob or Jack. She thinks Grunt is the cutest thing that ever walked.

Cusam Kraus - A Turian nomad. He travels with his sister and mate, exploring. He doesn't get violent unless he has to. He's mated to a Quarian named Jeelah. Cusam doesn't like getting drunk, because he gets "vicious". Cusam was captured by Blood Pack and tortured because they believed he had something that he didn't, which is why he has a lack of fingers. He only has 3 remaining. It also took away most of his pride, and he isn't as lively anymore.

Csere Culkin - A Drell bounty hunter. Csere was born in a small colony far, far away from any major planets. Her parents died when she was five years old, and when she was around twelve, she left the colony and settled in Omega. Shes been imprisoned multiple times for theft. She was a prisoner on the Purgatory for murder when she met her future mate, a guard there named Bailey. She escaped when Shepard released all the prisoners to get Jack and took the wounded Bailey also. Not long after, she started showing signs of Kepral's Syndrome and the sickness accelerated faster than normal. Bailey brought her to the Hanar to be helped. They gave her a mostly unfinished genetic adaption that seemed to take well with her, and so far she has been getting better. The Hanar who offered to help also offered her a lifetime contract as a hired gun. She accepted after making Bailey promise to "rescue" her and claimed she wouldn't survive as a "slave". Soon after the unfinished adaption was given to her, Bailey took Csere and Ezrom to Illium to live for a while as Csere recovers.

Wenah Rast - Wenahs parents died of a sickness that plagued where she was born. An old alien cook found her while he was restocking, and took her back to the cargo ship he worked on and raised her like his own. She has no memories of her biological parents. While docked, a Salarian named Ysern boarded her ship. He rescued her when pirates attacked the ship, searching for her, and brought her back to the Normandy where he stays with his uncle Mordin. Wenah is mated to Ysern now (or so she likes to think. It can't really happen since shes a mammal and he isn't) and has a halfling tube-baby named Tiloji (long story).

Ezrom Arren - A Drell doctor. Ezroms parents gave him to the Hanar to train as a doctor when he was five. He's now 24 and works hard. Ezrom was part of the team that helped with Csere. He's a kind, soft-hearted drell who also needs a girlfriend~




Anyways. Most of the things involving the Normandy and Shepard happened in my imagination, obviously.. So no one get onto my back about it. I'll be very upset.

AND a HUGE thank you to *Meken for the inspiration i got. Without your amazing gallery, i don't think i would've been able to even finish, especially with Cusam..

Oh and some of their stories take place in the future.. Like Csere's. They obviously don't have a cure for Kepral's yet. :/

The image?  Mass Effect.  The image/song title and the lyrics in the description?  Breaking Benjamin, for use in Halo 2, although, the in-game usage had the vocals at a near-mute level.  I've heard it said that that version was NOT instrumental, even though it sounds like it is.

Cool! Kimnor's my favorite.  

Do you plan to do another post Mass Effect 3 story with the team? It'd be cool if you made the antagonists former followers of the Illusive Man (like, a group of ex-Cerberus people who survived the organization's collapse at the end of the last game). Just an idea; I think Cerberus is the best/most evil faction in the history of video games. 

P.S: Great song from my all time favorite band. It's so sad they broke up

NamikazeMika [2011-08-09 23:47:15 +0000 UTC]

...Wow. Lots of parental issues.
Interesting ideas for some of them, but others severely clash with the way the Mass Effect universe works. Some can be overlooked, but not Medas Calas.
The salarian race is governed by Dalatresses, which are female. And that is all the females do. Consequently, they are not taught to do "grunt work" jobs like the males do. Also, to have her "family" slaughtered, you would have to make it on the level of genocide; salarians have biiiiiig families. Not to mention that the humans to do it would have to be the lowest scum of the earth to have been able to pull it off.
Oh, and salarians don't have sex drives. They don't reproduce that way.
Just something to keep in mind.
I DO like the concept of the Quarian, Kimnor'Eno, removing the 'nar' or 'vas' off his name to distance himself from the flotilla as much as possible. Adds an aura of mystery to him. Now, all he needs is some kind of long-term goal, and he's pretty much set.
Csere Culkin was... confusing to follow, at best. Though the part about the alleged cure to Kepral's Syndrome is pushing it a little bit.
Wenah Rast is a concept that I find amusing. Yes, there are the parental issues, but they can be excused here, seeing as she doesn't even remember them. No love lost there. But why pirates would attack a ship just to get her is beyond me. (But don't tell me. You do need secrets.)
Shepard is Shepard. Anything goes there. (Personally, I also prefer Hale's voice.)
Your turian nomad, Cusam Kraus, is controversial. Doesn't get violent unless he has no alternative I can get, but throw in torture via mercenaries, and I find it hard to believe that there's no reaction when he sees the Blood Pack logo. Though I do admit that the loss of a finger does give him character. (The pants are a tad distracting, though. Silly me, staring down there instead of making eye contact...^^)
The drell Ezrom Arren is the one I like the most. And it's not because of the lack of a tragic past; it's because he's the character with the most room to grow.

RedInksHeart In reply to NamikazeMika [2011-08-10 00:09:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for this very long comment. (not sarcasm, i promise)

I know some of the things are unusual, like Medes' "sex drive" (which it really isn't even that because obviously nothing could truly happen), but it's just my own spin on things. It's a side effect from her genetic splicing. Her family wasn't that large because they had been seperated from the main stream of other salarians and they bred differently. The humans they lived with were more or less, escaped criminals. thus the scum you mentioned.
Kimnor and Ezrom are my newest additions, which is why they don't have all that much information.
Wenah's family were the keepers of a valuable earth gem, (i'll leave it at that so i still have secrets. (; )
When Cusam was captured, he didn't really have any time to react. But trust me, he did when he found out where he was.
And about Csere's "cure". She takes place further into the future after the Hanar had been researching for an adaption for the Drell. Its incomplete still, and it doesn't terminate Kepral's Syndrome completely, just slows the sickness.


i think i covered everything.. maybe.

NamikazeMika In reply to RedInksHeart [2011-08-10 01:32:51 +0000 UTC]

Alright. That does clear things up.
I still am a bit hesitant regarding Medas' ability of ship building expertise. In order for that to happen, she would have to be very young. As in little kid young.
Having most of them from the future does help immensely, though I would recommend that you add that little detail to their bios BEFORE listing their backgrounds.
And as for the long comment (Sorry about that) I just started solely on Medas, but then I felt like I should give some imput on the others as well.
To be fair, I am also one for complex bios, which is why I no longer roleplay in chatrooms. Far too much history to squeeze into 200 words or less. ^^
