In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient space-faring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time.
They called it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of the galaxy call it... MASS EFFECT.

The Story, So Far...
In the ruined Asteroid of Omega, a certain band of unlikely comrades finds themselves in a peculiar struggle amongst the darker, twisted counter-part to the Citadel, nestled within the Terminus Systems. A land ruled by villainy, strife, and the lawless - Omega provides a home for many a criminal and mercenary alike, bringing a few odd characters together to battle against overwhelming odds, crazed fanatics, blood thirsty Vorcha, and grimy street gangs.. How they've found themselves on this desolate rock is a tale all in it's own, how they get off is the problem.

How to Participate...
Mass Effect Roleplay will be run through a series of scenarios hosted on the forums, and in Steam-Friends. Following one fluid tale, and various side stories, ME:RP plans to integrate a peculiar bands of individuals in one emotionally rich story. Members are encouraged to have their usual passive role plays with one another, on the forums, and out - and are allowed to do so as they please; however, they must follow the tales of others, and be attentive to the story and their environment - So that we may create one big tale to tell, without the concrete support of a server.
The Rules...
ME:RP follows the standard rules of the community. However, malicious intent and immaturity will be handled very rash, and swift. Second chances to participate will not be common - but it's safe to say individuals shouldn't arise as a problem. Olden's Standard Rules
ME:RP's Staff... While ME:RP doesn't have a concrete staff, there are a few invidiuals who should be regarded;
Zaku350, Founder of the ME:RP Project, and lead 'administrator' - Helps run the story along, and organize events and scenarios amongst the party.
Jacque, Close friend of Zaku350, and ME:RP administrator. Jacque is quick to run a few scenarios here and there, and aid the ongoing story between our band of unlikely associates - Feel free to ask him for advice, help, or assistance.
Your Character and You... Players participating in ME:RP are encouraged to make emotionally deep, and rich characters so that they may better the experience for those around them, and thoroughly enjoy what Mass Effect's universe has to offer, though, a few things should be noted;
Players are allowed to play any race of their choosing, however, they are to abide to the race's respective culture, limits, physical nature, and the like. Elcor are to force their emotions through speech, and Volus are expected to suffer from the high gravitational pull of their planet, for example.
Characters are to get the basic 'Approval' when their pages are submitted, which may be proposed in anyway their author should fine fit. There is no limit, and no minimum to your pages - And you're free to post the most basic of information, as long as there are some records of your character and their basic well-being.
- Note; Characters are to be approved by those participating as a whole, and the general consensus determines their playability.
Take into account the setting, and your characters backstory, it's unlikely they're pocketing a couple million credits so think through what you're tossing into their profile right off the bat. You're welcome to include anything you see fit, but be assured that these too are to go through the short approval process.

Ok, I'm back. Been spending the last few days with my Girlfriend, non-stop, and when I've been home - I've been busy talking with her, so. Apologies, hate to sound like your usual, egotistical douche, but I hate to make priorities.
Checking the pages now, I should be adding people's characters shortly, I'm sorry for the wait guys. And if anyone's interested in taking the helm with me, and Jacque - Help manage the pages, look over characters, and etc - Basically, join the team, for whatever you may want to help or contribute, give me a ring.

I've been busy, sorry. I'll either get up Zaku by the end of today, or tomorrow. And I can't talk for Narran, but if she's busy she can always join later - I added her to the list after getting confirmation she wanted to join, for the sake of. So.
Worry not.
And Jerry just needs to be looked over more.

So, tomorrow makes tomorrow a week ago...
How's that character coming?
P.S. We're all going to disown you if it gets delayed again. ]:
Yeah...Zaku.
And it won't be the kind of disown that involves paperwork...

I'm sorry, I know I've had time here and there. But as far as yesterday and today, I was in the hospital with my Girlfriend keeping her company. SO. I'm working on it, it should be done soon. The character's done, just needs a page, and I should be here saturday, though the next day is our anniversary so it's not set in stone yet.
IF I AM NOT HERE; JACQUE CAN RUN THE CAMPAIGN WITHOUT ME, OR YOU CAN BEGIN THE RP, SO THAT THE PARTY MAY BE FORMED.
You guys can always start some random bar RP, or some RP amongst the streets of Omega. You can always take the initiative to start something, that was one of the initial goals of ME:RP, an RP run by it's members for it's members.
But as far as Saturday is concerned, I'll see, I think so, I'm almost positive, but I can't say for sure.

Life's got the best of me, to put it kindly, I've been getting wrapped up in a lot of things. I'm sorry, folks. It's time for someone else to take the helm,
Give Krug and Jack some permissions and all that. It's best they take over.
