The Story

Again, I'm brainless. Maybe I'll come up with something after I finish my language arts final.

Hey Spinny, you're more than welcome to join the No Rest for the Wicked topic, Im going to post there in just a few.

Artemis, that would be great if you want to make a secondary character. Preferably Human or Turian, with a James Bond feel to'em. However, feel free to go in whatever direction you want.

And this stagnation is killing me. I think we're just going wing it from here on in. The squad will just be described in snippets of posts, doing whatever on the planet.

So basically I'll be posting in both topics here shortly.

How about a salarian sniper? I've had this idea bouncing around for a salarian character and seeing as I don't see any in the approved character section we probably could do with one. This is an ISIS mission and I would assume that any Intelligence agency would make heavy use of salarians.

And I agree with getting the ball rolling on the RP again, but I personally wouldn't skip ahead too far. I think we should finish the briefing and then hit fleet prep (or perhaps make that a another subject, so that we can cover both the main fleet and the infiltration squad at the same time) before actually making it planet side. The more holes we leave now, the more filler we'll have to fill later. On a slight tangent, have you decided which species was going to provide the dreadnought for the fleet?

If it's alright with you, I'll have Ionara be one of the Krogan's bodyguards.

I've got a basic outline for a TSF character worked up, but I'm a tad confused as to what exactly his role will be in the mission. Since I plan on killing him off (or at least permanently removing him from duty) during the course of the mission, I'd like to make him fairly powerful and tailor him to the mission. From what I gather one TSF will be going with Spectre Sariel and the other with a group of NPCs, so which group will my character belong to?

Hi I'm new just wondering what to do next because I have a character ready to roleplay with

Right now, not much. It seems this site was down for a while and is only just getting back up and running. There's 2 topics going in the RP section right now (although both are still stalled) and you can decide which one of those you want to join. I'd recommend going back and at least skimming the topic you chose from the beginning so you understand how the characters have been interacting. The Story seems to be picking up again though, so it shouldn't be too long before it really gets going at a good pace.

Well, I cannot presently jump into the story with the character I have in mind without it being painfully awkward and having a 'forced' feeling. To avoid this, I am going to wait to join until a better time.

I'll still be following the story, of course, in the meantime. Oh, and by the way, just so I know before I start fine-tuning the character, will there be much use for a C-Sec customs officer in this story? If not, I can simply tweak him accordingly.

Well, you can always make a topic to discuss another story and then one of us could create a NPC for it. As far as how a C-sec officer can fit into the story, well, I'm not quite sure. I haven't been keeping myself updated on the "Coming to a Head" topic. It is however based on the Presidium, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult to pass by whatever is happening.

As for the other one, it's on another planet entirely and you're C-sec, so you'd have to be very creative to come up with a reason to be there.

I get the feeling this will start getting out of hand down the track, with people making NPC's like its going out of fashion.

I believe a system where a maximum of x number of NPC's can be active at one time, but if you kill off an NPC you may create another in its place, would be effective in keeping things under control.

I just think its gonna get really hard to control things like godmodding and making sure people follow rules.

Kinda maybe sorta... right now it's nto a problem as the only people that have created NPC's are Jordan, Dante and Durge. Durge is inactive, Dante was here, but didn't post so I'll consider him inactive as well. And then Jordan can do whatever the hell he wants to. Know what I'm sayin' foo?

But yeah, I see where you're coming from. People should only make NPC's if they handle them. And I don't think godmodding is a big issue. I have rarely ever seen anybody do it and even if it did happen, more than likely someone would report it and we would deal with it accordingly.

I know this is a stupid question but I thought I better asked before I did it and get booted of the forum, anyway I saw thinking of having a sub-story in the hades gamma cluster section but I'm not sure if its ok with people

Yeah, that'd be absolutely fine. You don't have to ask us to make your own story.

It was the thought that counts :)

Oh, snap! I did not realize we could do that. I shall begin planning as well...

So the site is finally back up. What the heck happened? I also noticed that the current RP thread seems to have disappeared. Are we going to try and get it up and running again or is this thing dead in the water?

Hey I managed to make it back, I got rid of my old email account so didn't get the call to return and since I got a new laptop I'd lost my old book marks. I had all but forgotten this place until I started playing Mass Effect again, but I've come back and I hope you all are out there too.

Welcome back Stynier

Thanks
