"Renewal's Rait Vek Recruitment

Zytex composed himself and spoke formally through his communicator," Hello Mr. Rait Vek, my name is General Zytex Gyrandros of the Turian Hierarchy. If I understand correctly, you're looking for work. Luckily for you, I happen to have some. It has to deal with a massive threat to galactic peace and security and is of great importance. You may decline me at any time, but I highly recommend you hear me out.". Zytex awaited a response from the Krogan.

(some of the details you put into that description were gold)"

"Vek lowered his drink to the bartop with a soft clink. The flanged harmonics of a turian voice coming through was hardly a surprise—in a galaxy this big, every race had its renegades, turians included—but an introduction that elaborate certainly was. Every mercenary knew that governments had their pragmatic sides, and Vek himself had received sizable paychecks from hefty government contracts a time or two over his career, but still... A general in the Hierarchy? Desperate times indeed.

"I've never been one to turn down a contract out of hand, General," he rumbled. "I'm listening."

"Renewal's Rait Vek Recruitment

Zytex heard the slight noises Vek had made in the background and said with formality,"Is something wrong, Mr. Vek? Anyways, the reason I contacted you. As you have no doubt heard, Saren's attack on the Citadel has left Citadel space and the galaxy going haywire. The Geth's defeat at the Citadel seemed to barely phase them. Instead, they seem resurgent and more powerful than before, attacking both Citadel aligned and non Citadel things alike. Also, the chaos created in the wake of the Citadel's attack has given rise to reports of new factions springing up, their motives, locations, resources, and so on unknown. To combat this and more, the Citadel Council has made a new black ops task force. They have made me their de facto leader and and we currently recruiting skilled people of all races and professions to help out. Your battle hardenedness stands out to me as useful. Also, I'm interested in your abilities as a Krogan infiltrator. Such a profession is rare amongst Krogan and I hope your unorthodox methods will give us an edge. If you decide to join, you will be provided access to top of the line equipment, some even extralegal. Also, we plan on compensating everyone in the task force, including you. So Mr. Vek, are you interested in joining us, knowing all this?". Zytex patiently awaited a response."

"Rait Vek's Recruitment

Vek tapped through his omnitool and authorized a transaction to the bar, settling his tab, before exiting the joint. "Nothing's wrong General. Just a little surprised is all." A deep chuckle rumbled through him. "Not everyday a turian general calls a krogan mercenary for work." He hummed in thought for a brief moment, before an explosive sigh snapped past his lips. "You had me at 'compensation' General. Everything else is just extra. For what you're offering, I'll gladly show you the best this krogan infiltrator can offer."

Saving the galaxy on the Council's behalf... Funny, this story sounded pretty familiar. "So what needs to be done on my end?"

"Renewal's Rait Vek Recruitment

Zytex sounded less concerned and responded confidently and formally,"Well, Mr. Vek, I am sending you a file that will serve authorization to get in the Citadel Council Chambers. You will need that file to get in at that time. Please meet us at the Council Chambers for our first meeting at the given time and date. If you have any other questions, please contact my people. Good day, Mr. Vek.". Zytex cut communications and then continued his usual thing of browsing for interesting people to recruit into the task force.

(respond and we are done. I love how quick that was. Once I hear back from Heroic and we have no other pending characters, we can start this thing.)"

"Rait Vek's Recruitment

Vek took a deep breath in the crowded thoroughfare outside the bar. Even now, weeks after Sovereign and the geth's attack, a faint taste of soot and smoke remained in the air—life support across the station remained functional, of course, but at far from full capacity. The damage to the Wards both from the attack itself and Sovereign's destruction had been extensive.

Still, it was a fair margin sweeter than Tuchanka's blasted atmosphere.

He called up the authorization file and smirked. To think, a krogan mercenary from a dead clan and no particular influence, called up to the hallowed chambers of the Citadel Council itself... "Clan Rait really is going places," he muttered to himself. "Heh, time for the krogan to bail out the Council's asses once again." Vek closed down his omnitool and went to prepare his gear.

(And done ^_^.)"

"[up][up] His SIGNATURE LINE had a link to a Rp site, which plot involved stealing dragon eggs and hatching them, and besides that I don't know what else the game was about. The link it self was to a dragon egg. about 2 days after his first post in the signup the egg died, so he might be trying to steal and hatch a different egg in that game.

Also, will you mention the Dragons teeth from ME 1, because and ME 3 Didn't reference those at all and in ME 2 they only showed up for one level. Anyway what I'm asking is, what did the council do to them did they order them to be destroyed or to be studied, or did they just go and say " Well lets just leave the giant eye swore's that bring corpse to life just sitting there out in the open."

"[up]Oh yeah, Dragon's Teeth are making reappearances. IRP, they're Reaper tech again despite never being said so in ME 1, just heavily implied. About what the Council did with them? It'd be the smart thing to study them, though honestly, I haven't made up what would happen to them. You gave me an idea for Zytex to want to study them though, especially as he's interested in the Geth."

"((I assure you, I'm well aware of that. He wants a monomolecular blade for other reasons. I don't think that the monomolecular blade shoots anything. It's just an insanely sharp weapon.

As for my posts taking time, I wasn't aware this thread was particularly time sensitive. I'll be quicker when we get to R Ping. That said, it is to some extent illustrative of how much free time. That said, I should be able to get out at least three or four posts a day if need be. That said, should this be unacceptable, I will completely understand if you would like me to relinguish my position. I could probably make this character a human that's simply not Commander Shepard.

Also, Renewal, do I know you from somewhere else? I was good friends with a dude named Renewal on a different forum.))

Shepard looked around the room. Now that he thought of it, this was the only time he'd ever been in the council chamber completely alone. He'd spent plenty of time there, sure, but now that it was just him, he could take in the significance of the room. He stood there for a few minutes, not sure what to do. He had always wanted to sit in one of the council chairs, but he didn't think that would be good for PR if someone caught him.

Shepard approached the center podium, placing a hand on it. He wondered how many different species had passed through the Citadel. It definitely put things into perspective. He took a moment, thinking about how small he was compared to the rest of the universe. But he could be a part of a greater whole. He slowly released the podium, turned, and left the Council Chambers."

"I see that applications currently aren't being accepted, but if it's alright, I'd like to leave this here and do whatever work on it you think needs to be done so that when you are accepting, it'll be in a good shape.


Name: Naa'Miyaa vas Nedas
Race: Quarian
Gender:Female
Age: Fleetborn; adult
Physical description: A suitdweller like the others. Underneath, her face is gaunt and tired. She is taller then most, with a strong if slender build toned from her mixture of mercenary and 'business' work.
Skillset:

• Master of Small Arms, esp. pistols: From years of defending clintele and making sure other former clints don't wake up, Naa has a mastery over a vast variety of pistols and similar weaponry. She can hold her own in all but the most intense of fire fights with these, though she is less skilled with larger weaponry.
• Projectile weapon engineer: Although most have abandoned them entirely, years of mercenary work have led Naa to appreciate much more primitive styles of weaponry. She knows how to construct, maintain and improve on projectile weaponry (such as modern day pistols or guns).
• Techslayer: Not exactly a skill, but an earned reputation. Naa cannot get tech to work for her past a basic level, and given time she is sure to destroy any high tech she gets her hands on.

Occupation: It varies with where she ends up. She spent the majority of her time after abandoning her pilgrimage at Omega working as a mercenary under Aria's Gang, until her services were purchased by a Turian merchant. She worked as a bodyguard and assassin for a decade under his name, but with the end of her contract to him and the reappearance of the Geth as a credible threat, she has headed to Council space and attempted to join the military.
Personality: Although she prefers the school of Shock and Awe, Naa works just as well in stealthy positions. This describes her personality as much as it does her fighting style; she will try to make connections and friendships with others, but if she is given the cold shoulder, it doesn't take long for her to adapt and give that same response to others.
Homeship: Rayya.
Biography: Born on the Rayya, Naa spent most of her life preparing for an eventual career in the Quarian military. When it came time for her Pilgrimage, she lost the rest of her company and found herself on the edge of Council space with little options. She managed to subcontract with a mercenary group in the area, helping protect a farmer and his crops from some of the planet's hostile native life, before using her cut to catch a ride with them back to Omega. On Omega, she spent some time attempting to get the money needed to head on and continue with what she had planned for her Pilgrimage, but nothing was coming together. She joined with the mercenaries under Aria T'loak, and when they had nothing for her she headed to The Patriarch for jobs he needed done. She got by and moved up in Omega, surviving and getting herself a nice apartment. She kept working like this for years, abandoning her plans to continue on with her pilgrimage.
Eventually, a merchant on Omega's mercenary bodyguards were slaughtered by some other mercenaries on Omega. The merchant offered a price to any merchants willing to protect him as he returned to his supplies. Most refused, because the merchant made clear he could only pay them after the task was completed, and to every informed mercenary that meant they weren't getting paid. Naa was one of the few who signed on with him anyway, protecting him for a relatively safe journey back to the Citadel. There, she signed a contract with him to serve as one of his bodyguards as he attempted to reform his bodyguard corporation. She worked like this as a decade, over which her duties expanded from protection to taking out enemy businessmen and failing associates. When the decade past, her contract was up, and though she wanted to renew it—the attack on human space and on the Citadel had shaken her, and she decided not to. Instead, she headed to the Citadel and attempted to join with the Council's military.

Plans: Naa will portray some of the more brutal and 'human' aspects of the Quarians, as opposed to the highly foreign aspects Tali has portrayed. Though she has given up hope on Rannoch, her hatred for AIs and Geth still runs strong and she will be a vocal opponent to all cooperation or collaboration with them. In the short run, she'd provide a good shock troop and mercenary liason, developing more nuanced ideas of those around her than her sheltered or mercenary views of them. In the long run, she'll struggle against new knowledge and realizations that her ancestors may have been at fault, try to fix her view of the Geth before trying to distract herself from abstract hatreds and personal connections to throw her entire being into raging against the Reaper machine."

"[up]Immediate things I will critique so that we can change it before I open up back recruitment:

• Omega, Aria, Patriarch, and more do not necessarily exist in my Rewrite. ME 1 never mentions any of it so it doesn't need to necessarily exist. I'd assume a crime haven like Omega would be mentioned if it existed in ME 1. This reminds me, I need to ask the group about Omega's existence. As it stands though, it doesn't exist and I want to control what's brought into the RP (to make it ME 1 lore friendly). For now, I'd change anything that has to do with Omega in the signup sheet.
• Being born on the Rayya is a bit contrived, don't you think? Unless you want your character to have interaction and a history with Tali, I'd change it.
• Racism is high against Quarians. Not many are allowed on the Citadel or in Citadel space, why would they be able to join the Citadel military except being recruited by a high ranking official.
• More if I feel like it.

I'm sorry if I'm being harsh, but I'm being cautious about what I want to bring in. Avoiding plotholes and overextending myself in ways that do not matter is a concern for me. You got time though to fix it. I'll add you to my "Interested players" list."

"Added an "interested players" list.

Also, if you're interested in playing right now, I am not accepting new characters at the moment; but if you want to play Tali, Garrus, Liara, Kaidan; they are up for grabs and you can jump in with them as soon as I get you squared away. As in you can join us right now with these characters."

"on my phone atm, I'll do bigger changes later but I don't believe coming from Rayya is that contrived for a fleetborn Quarian. Iirc, Rayya is one of the three main liveships of the fleet. I can change that with no hesitation, but I'm not sure it's nessecary. But if Omega is really an element you don't want included, I might scrap this idea and go back to the drawing board."

"[up]Where in ME 1 does it say that the Rayya is one of the main ships (remember, we're bound only by ME 1 here. ME 2 and 3 did not happen and are only pools for ideas). And the reason I find it contrived is because we already have an important character born on it: Tali. Not all Quarians are born on the same ship/space station (ME 1's Codex last time I checked said the Migrant Fleet has beaten up space stations) and I'd like to reflect that. Also, having all our Quarians born on the ship may raise some eyebrows. If you can find ME 1 lore to refute me, feel free to present it. And you can change references to Omega and the like to generic criminal groups.

As I said, I'm sorry, but sometimes the foot must come down."

"Okay, promoting a one off character I made in the Main Thread to a full OC, because I need more.

• Name: Odis (face name), Unknown soul name
• Race: Hanar
• Gender: None, referred to as male (Hanar are going to be asexual IRP)
• Skillset: Good with people, can deal with many problems at once, terrible at front line combat, very good with computers and hacking, Prothean expert
• Occupation: computer specialist and partial sapient resources for the task force
• Personality: Very calm and collected, able to keep his cool easily under pressure, very polite and laid back, quite intelligent
• Homeworld: Kahje
• Biography: Odis started his life being born on Kahje. Growing up, he did not share in his peers' worship of the "Enkindlers" (Protheans as we know), though he still had high respect for them and was interested in learning more. He was also interested in interacting with a variety of the Citadel races. To do both of these and more, Odis took classes, joined groups, and more where he learned how to deal with a variety of races, keep calm under presure, and on the side use computers to high degree. The Hanar joined Prothean expedition groups and served well as several groups' computer expert and confidant. This history attracted the attention of General Zytex, who thought the Hanar would serve well in all the areas mentioned before. Odis was grateful to join the Council's task force and hopes to learn more about the Protheans and more.
• Plans for the character: Not a major OC. Mostly just a support guy who can be used as a computer person, Prothean expert, and confidant. I came with this fast, which explains the poor writing and how short it is. Odis may die IRP, unlike Zytex."
