Mass Effect RPG - Part 1

[Naked Crook]

This RPG takes place in the year 2183 In The Mass Effect Universe. (This post is subject to undergo changes as the RP goes on). ================================================================================== Rules: 1. This RPG will take place in the Mass Effect universe in the year 2183. 2. Useable species include: Human, Turian, Asari, Salarian, Batarian, Volus, Drell, Vorcha, Yahg, Krogan, Quarian, and AIs (Such as the EDI Infiltration Unit). 3. Use of the following races is prohibited: Collector, Prothean, Reaper, Hannar, Elcor, Rachni, Leviathans, and Keepers. 3. Your arsenal of weapons and armor can only be weapons and armor from the Mass Effect franchise. Weapons can be customized to the extent possible in Mass Effect 3. 4. Controlling of other characters to a major degree is prohibited. Exceptions are granted in the event of a pre-planned event between two people. 5. Direct and deliberate interference with the current direction of the RP or the story is prohibited. 6. All Characters must be grounded in the reality of the lore. Soldier classes cannot have access to biotic abilities, while Biotic characters must be limited in the amount of weapons they are proficient with. Physical abilities of characters must also maintain a large degree of grounding in the established lore. Humans are incapable of physically outmatching a Krogan or a Yahg. 7. Try and participate in the story. 8. No overt sexual themes. Affection is fine, but over-the-top sexual themes are not permitted. Let's try and keep it clean. 9. Do not stall the story. Your character will be RPed as necessary to avoid the RPG from being put on hold. 10. Characters must stick to their affiliation, with rare exceptions being granted for plot devices. In general, a Systems Alliance Admiral will not arbitrarily turn coat on his fellow officers and soldiers without a VERY good reason (typically provided by a plot device). 11. Characters who become indoctrinated have VERY little recourse to escape indoctrination. Long term indoctrination is universally accepted as being permanent. SHort term, or mild exposure to indoctrination can be escaped and rehabilitated. As a result of this, Indoctrination CANNOT be forced on other characters without either their consent or the understanding that the situation can be evaded and escaped from. 12. All Character sheets must be your first post in this thread, done in a single post, for reference purposes. Please do this ASAP. 13. If you are unsure about the technical or chronological accuracy of your post or your ideas, please ask the community for input. There is no such thing as a dumb question. 14. Have fun. ================================================================================== ================================================================================== Character Template: All fields must be filled out or the character will NOT be approved. Back story must be DETAILED enough to paint a good picture of who we would be dealing with..
