PRELUDE
In the year 2189 ARC the battle tested galactic community once again found itself pressured by racially driven conflict. Just three years after the ultimate sentient beings known as the Reapers tried wiping out all organic life in the galaxy, the Batarians infuriated by their lack of standing in the Citadel following the invasion announced a full retraction from Citadel space.


In exchange for absolute solitude the Batarians intended to cut off all contact. With the entire galaxy still healing the scars left by the Reapers, the council had no choice but to accept their conditions and allow a peaceful recession. The Batarians true to their word, disappeared.

Now 2212 ARC, it has been nearly twenty-three years since direct contact was made with the Batarians. The Council in direct violation to the treaty sent STG cells into Batarian space and they've recently returned with disturbing results. Not only had the Batarians strengthened their fleet but they also managed to also uplift Yahg and develop a way to control them. With resentful ties towards the Council and now a large army bolstered with thousands of the incredibly violent and improved Yahg, the Batarians are now a threat to galactic peace and the creation of the TIGER SQUAD, the Council's first and -- if things go accordingly -- last response.


TIGER SQUAD & THEIR SHIP

Tiger Squad is the call sign assigned to the elite infiltration team formed by the Council following the revelation of the Batarian race's activities over the past two decades. One of the driving forces behind the Council's decision to break the treaty's obligations and consequent discovery of the Yahg's upliftment was the insistence and pressure shown by the sixth human Spectre Aleksandr Markovich. Because of this dedication and bravado Commander Markovich has been appointed to spearhead all Tiger Squad operations.

Commander Markovich has been given full clearance in regards to recruiting procedures and has his eyes on individuals of varying races and rank. The team he will lead as well as the amount of crew aboard the Tempest will be smaller than average but they will have to be the best in the business in order to complete the tasks at hand.

Determine the likeliness of an invasion and deal with the matter accordingly.
Hello everyone, Bear here! So the way it's going to work is quite simple, YOUR playable character will be one of the talented individuals that Commander Marko has chosen for the mission. All races are viable choices aside from Batarians, Yahgs, Hanar and the Elcor (though aboard the Tempest is an Elcor Requistion Officer by the name of Randy -- long story).

Shizuochan and I have done away with the traditional class system of the series in favor of the writer having each character flesh out specific strengths and weaknesses of their character. You are free to optimize your character as you please, modelling them after an engineer or adept if that's you want, or going for something in between!

If there are any questions don't be afraid to either post down below or PM me or Shiz!

SSV TEMPEST

The Tempest is designed to be small, stealthy and fast, trading off heavy armor and a main gun to excel in these. It is capable of covering 13 lightyears per day in FTL. The Tempest's size allows it to land on planets with little trouble, much like the SSV Normandy and unlike the larger Normandy SR-2.

Four main thrusters provide its propulsion and it has four additional downward thrusters to stabilize its descent: two below the frontal wings and two below the main wings. It is equipped with an array of scanners for determining groundside conditions.
GENERAL HOUSE RULES (ALL IWAKU RULES APPLY)
I. Each member of the RP should be comfortable with communicating. With some of the people we already have, there's going to be a lot of chatting in between posts in the Discord. Don't be afraid to join in! We don't bite well, except maybe Shiz.

II.While I may not have a specific length requirement for posts I expect those who join to be capable of giving the other writers enough to work with while replying. We will be working with a courtesy system rather then a posting order. You'll need to be able to post every few days but if you join but life comes and hits you up, just PM me or Shiz and we will figure something out!



WORD FROM THE GMs [SIZE=2]BearEnthusiast[/SIZE] & [SIZE=2]Shizuochan[/SIZE]

"I'd like to thank everyone who shows interest in this RP! I'm a pretty avid fan of the series and will do my best to make sure that this universe holds up to the ME universe we all love while at the same time making it something new and fun.

Also thanks to The Philosoraptor because the timeline I'm using is originally from his ME: CONTINGENCY RP that was made around June last year." -- BearEnthusiast

@Sir Salty, that's good! Consider me a bit jealous to be honest.

The pocket wifi I've been using all this time has been acting odd for the past few days. It only works for the first minute I plug it into my laptop so its not difficult to see how that's gotten annoying real quick. :-)

Still, it's manageable and ultimately better than nothing. I'm reaching out to the providers for a fix today, so here's hoping.

Sweet. Posted. Kinda bereft of description, but wanted to keep it simple.
 
Hey everyone just a quick note! Seeing as I forgot to mention it in the post itself, currently, most of the members of Tiger Squad do not know each other prior to the meet up that is happening in the IC. At most they are aware of Commander Markovich's reputation and were notified of their recruitment two weeks ago. They were given the opportunity to decline joining TS but obviously in this situation they did not.

The exception to this are the characters who Marko met during his time in the Terminus System, who he chose to bring along on the Tempest even after returning to the Citadel. This 'Terminus Group' includes: Mora, Druin, Shar, and Chacho.


***

With that said, you are also able (and encouraged) to brainstorm previous relationships between your character and the others aboard the SSV Tempest. All I ask is to make sure that me and Shiz are aware of whatever plotting occurs between you and other writers in order to avoid confusion on our part! I am also personally open to plotting previous relationships for Marko and maybe Mora so don't be afraid to hit me up with a PM if you have an idea.
 
Meet Osar, and her complete lack of understanding for social etiquette.

Her and Chacho are in competition for a completely different social etiquette.
 
The SSV Tempest has one hell of a diverse crew that's for sure.

ALSO tagging @Dovahkiin to confirm that V'Nasava is apart of said crew because I just realized that Shiz forgot to @ her when the IC first came up.

Don't give any credit or acknowledgement to @Grumpy. It just goes to his fat head >:[
 
hey can you make the machine stop faltering
 
Herro fam! As a heads up, looking to progress to the next round of posting March 6/7th ish.
 
I wanna post again, but not really much to post off of besides maybe an interaction with @Grumpy's douchebag lovely character.
 
Feel free, if you decide you want to - length is not so much a concern to me, but interaction is certainly encouraged. As far as posting orders and such go, we'll likely go with an honor/courtesy system (ie. "don't drown out everyone else").
 
Hmmm...Might just hit the old man up then for a collab post. WHAT DO YOU THINK @Grumpy

I don't care what we do.
 
You're welcome to have Druin respond to the strange Salarian grill who just popped up and started making painfully accurate observations about him, if you wanna. I can rattle off a response to that pretty quick.
