Ok so I've been outta this for quite some time but this looks great so far. I like the brainstorming ideas aspect. If you're still open to new characters then I should be able to get a CC up by tomorrow.

Thanks!

Go ahead and put up a CC and we'll go from there!

How familiar are you with the Mass Effect Universe?

 

[Andre Marek]

Ok sorry about the short Bio, it's been awhile. I'm quite familiar with the ME universe. Played the games multiple times as well as read a few of the books.


Name - Kristina MacDonald
Gender - Female
Age - 28
Race - Human
Class - Soldier
Birthplace - Halifax, NS, Canada
Height - 5'11"
Weight - 163lbs
BMI - 14.6
Sexuality - Bi Sexual
Marital Status - Single
Health - Excellent
Affiliations - Earth Systems Alliance, N7 Program
Afflictions - None
Religion - Atheist
Dialog Color - White

(Yes she looks like the default Shepard but obviously I don't intend her to BE Shepard.)

Personality: Kristina is generally a very agreeable person who is hard to offend. When she is on duty, she takes her job very seriously but not to the point of being blinded by 'duty'. She has been known to occasionally bend the rules for close friends although her superiors have always overlooked this due to her stellar performance. Although she isn't a very animated person, Kristina likes to meet with her closest friends to catch up, drink, play poker, and have a good time.

Positive Traits - Intelligent, Self Confident, Witty
Negative Traits - Sarcastic, Callous, Unpredictable, Self Indulgent
Likes: Weapons of any kind, good liquor, fine clothes, fine food, fast women
Dislikes: Intentional ignorance, dishonesty, assholes, AIs
Fears - Space, 'Normal' Life
Quirks - Snaps fingers when agitated. Cleans fingernails with her dagger when bored.
Alignment - Chaotic Good

Casual Clothes - Brown leather jacket over a black tank top and olive green cargo pants.
Armor:

She wears a set of N7 Demolitions armor which is dark grey in color with dark orange N7 badges on the shoulder and back. Kristina also has implants that give her eidetic photographic memory as part of her induction into N7.

Weapons: M55 Argus modified for semi automatic fire and equipped with an advanced optical scope. She also carries an M77 Paladin pistol in a thigh holster or in a shoulder holster when not in armor. On her back she carries a 24" carbon ceramic machete with a saw on one side and a straight 'tanto' style blade on the other with a gut hook at the tip. Strapped to her right calf she has a 7.5" double sided dagger in the same carbon ceramic with her initials stamped into the grip. She also is equipped with L5n implants which allow her to perform most basic biotic functions. Kristina is also a very proficient Hand to Hand specialist, having completed every level of N7 CQB training.

Background: Born to a military family, Kristina grew up just outside Halifax on the east coast of Canada and joined the Alliance as soon as she turned 18. Having enrolled in Officers training she quickly gained the rank of Lieutenant by the start of the Reaper invasion. By the end of the war she held the rank of Captain and had been inducted into the N7 program, going on to lead her squad in several covert missions behind Reaper lines. Although the activation of the Crucible marked the end of major conflict and wiped out the Reapers, Kristina continued to see action clearing out the remaining Cerberus forces in the outer rim.

Now, after a recently completed assignment, Kristina is on shore leave, enjoying Illiums still recovering night life as she awaits new orders.

I say yes. Welcome aboard!

I like the CQC focus on your character very much. Plus, I know you are a good writer (I read the Atherium Wars).

As far as intro goes, I'm not sure if we should modify the first post, or simply get suspicious of a character and follow them.

Either way, welcome aboard!

Well I don't wanna hassle anyone but that would probably make the most sense. If not then I'm sure I can come up with something.

I'll see if I can get a hold of Keidivh.

If you want to go a different route, talk to me and I may be able to give you some ideas.

 

[Andre Marek]

Well it might be easier for everyone if I somehow wrote Kristina in without a bunch of editing. Perhaps someone in the Alliance notices the encrypted messages going through their servers and contacts her to go investigate. Being a spec-ops captain it would kind of fit.

I like that, she could also gain their tracking frequencies and follow them into the abandoned part of Nos Astra or something like that.

 

[Andre Marek]

Ok sounds like a plan to me. I'll start writing and hopefully have something up in a couple hours

 

[Archer Drake]

Sorry it took me so long to respond.

Anyway, great job with your post Andre! Well done! I have a feeling that this is going to get really interesting.

 

[EpicVakarian]

We haven't heard from @Orien Terrik in a long time, huh?

PS: Nice post, Marek!

No, we haven't. I've already sent him and Keidivh a PM. Hopefully, we'll get a response soon.

 

[Andre Marek]

I'm thinking that Kristina stays hidden until after the others are in the safehouse and makes herself known after she realizes whats going on. Right now she thinks the others are criminals or something but it wouldn't make sense for her to try to take them all on at the same time. Once she realizes they aren't enemies then she'd more likely expose herself

 

[EpicVakarian]

Nice post, Orien! I'll get to work on a response from Rosie tonight, unless anyone has anything else to add?

 

[Zweihander]

Hey guys, just a heads up but I'm not gonna be able to post until around Monday or Tuesday, my computer's crapping out on me

Actually, Epic, we're still waiting on Keidivh to intro his character.

However, I appreciate the enthusiasm!

Great job on your post, Orien! Well done!

Oh, and Zweihander, it's no big deal, just make sure you come back

 

[EpicVakarian]

Ah, okay, I'll leave off on my post for now then. Just in case Keidivh wants his character to come into the warehouse too.

 

[Archer Drake]

Hey, Epic, I'm not sure if the messages are working yet, so I'll post it here.

I have not seen or heard from Keidivh as of late, so go ahead and post. I'd rather keep this going than risk it dying.

 

[EpicVakarian]

I guess the messages were slightly broken then, didn't get a message like that. I'm busy tonight, but I'll hopefully get to work on it tomorrow morning.
