Welcome to Gaia! ::

All that have played Mass Effect 2 know this quote well and had prepared for the day to use it back.

But what if this wasn't the truth? The truth of the matter is that the Councial has no faith in Shepard due to his/her connection to Cerburus and has built a team to study all reports of activity to these "Reapers" and you have joined them.

You work for them because you've wronged them and this is your chance for freedom. But soon you will see your freedom means nothing if the Reapers come.

Rules
1. I have executive power over the rp unless lesser executive power is given.
2. Events of ME1 you will know: Wrex(Shepard) survived, Kaiden Alenko dies on Virmire, Anderson is on the council, the Rachni Queen survived, the Thorian's Asari thrall was killed by Shepard, and the Councial was saved.
3. Shepard is a presence but will not appear directly. A vote will happen later for more specifics on who exactly Shepard is if you wish it.

6. If you wish to kill a character you created please inform me beforehand to get the okay.

8. Will allow romance between character but please don't loose focus on the plot and informing before hand if you wish to do so with another player and not write your own love interesting. LGBT love interests are accpeted.
9. I will be known in character as Alan Smithy. All you are classified to know of him at this time is that he is your plotical liason on the Citidal and a human.

Backstory:

Palaves Victus was born on Palaven in a major city. His father was an Captain in the Turian Navy, and his mother the Primearch of Palaven. He grew up himself to command a ship known as the "Sword of Palaven." By this time Palaves' father became an Admiral of the Turian 3rd fleet, while he himself was part of the 1st fleet. As his record of won battles continued to increase, there would be one battle he could not win, the battle against his own mother, the Primearch. On his way to the Citadel to be considered for Spectre status, Palaves' ship recieved a distress call; it was his father. He reported this signal to the Admiral of 1st fleet, but was denied to go and assist. Against orders, Palaves went to try to rescue his father and instead got 17% of his own crew killed and also lost his father. He was later denied Spectre status, stripped of his rank, and imprisoned for treason.

Gaia Username: Apocalyptic Mercenary
Character Name: Kel 'Atar vas Neema
Race: Quarian
Age: 23 years
Sex: Male
Your Crime: Stole food and other supplies from C-sec, also smuggled individuals in and out of the Citadel
Class: Engineer
Powers: Sentry Turret, AI Hacking, Combat Drone
Weapon preference: Black Widow and Geth Plasma SMG
Design: Red and Black Quarian light armor
Backstory: Although being born among the Migrant Fleet, Kel spent most of his time aboard the Citadel, getting into trouble among the surplus of Mercenary factions, before being recruited into the Blue Suns. He proceeded to build a "career" out of thievery and smuggling. He would eventually be caught, though, leading to his forced integration into the Counsels new team.

Kel struggled to process the new question being posed to himself and the Turian beside him. "Some dormant, advanced synthetic armada... Had something to do with the Geth attack on the Citadel, according to rumors I've heard from an old Salarian friend."

Palaves considered the proposal. It angered him that he had to become a mercenary in order to be released, but he had to do it.

"I guess I'll have to take you up on that offer." He said.

"You won't be supplied with anything from the military or C-sec for the matter vas Neema what we are giving you is equipment we have taken from merc groups. Though if you say take a weapon from a Cerburus operative or merc we will look the other way as long as it isn't mission important. Now you will be escorted out of the room and given omi-tools which you can use to contact me for misson updates. I excpect updates every 24 hours and if you don't send them I will believe you have gone rouge. once you are equiped the guards will inform me and I will give you your mission."

Just then two heavly armored Turians and a Asari commando entered to escort the two out of the room. The omni-tools they were given only listed Alan as the Director so his name would not be compromissed.

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He had asked for a team to investigate these threats but they gave him two criminals. Alan leaned back. Well if Shepard can make Turian and a Krogan get along than I can make this work. I just hope these to don't go rouge on their first mission or my a** is grass.
