Introduction
This role play will have nothing to do with Shepard, Cerberus, Reapers or most anything dealing with the Mass Effect story line. I am just borrowing the universe, the technology, and the aliens (excluding my surprise to all of you wonderful role players) for the role play. So if you want to play a game where you fight Cerberus, or fight against the reaper hordes then I apologize but this isn't that type of game. The story will be of my own creation taking hopefully minimally from the actual story of the Mass Effect games, yes that stuff will have happened and will probably be happening and if the rp goes on long enough may even effect my story but otherwise we probably wont touch the game. Also the time will be right around the end of Mass Effect 2 where reapers haven't attacked yet. Tech is the same with the cooling clips and such.
Ok for the character submissions I require a try out post and a character application. You can PM me both and if you get accepted then you can just copy and paste the character skeleton and submit it. For your try out post you will be writing with your character. Your character will enter one room where the walls are lined with every weapon imaginable from sniper rifles to high tech swords. You will then enter the virtual reality room where a training program of your choice comes on. Be creative and make the training program whatever shows your characters skills as well as your writing skills. I will be judging you on your writing abilities, character profile, as well as your past history. I understand that sometimes you get stuck into crappy rp's and can't post much into them but I'm tired of getting players that will drop out in 10 seconds flat so I'm going to do my research and make sure people I accept don't have a bad history of not sticking with role plays. You can write me the best intro post in the history of man but if you've got a bad attitude or have dropped out of your last 20 role-plays after only one post then your chances of being accepted are very slim.
Here is the outline for your characters job application.
Name:
Species:
Gender:
Age:
Birth date (every member of Colossus Corp is allowed their birthday off):
Height:
Weight:
Appearance (Please attach a picture here so the security personnel may have a reference to allow you access to our facility. If you have no picture then please provide a detailed description.):
Experience with weaponry (if applying for medical or engineering position then what equipment do you have experience with?):
Personality (We here at Colossus Corp wish our members to be able to work well together and co-exist peacefully):
Past work experience: ( you can write this live your character is being interviewed, you list past jobs, you can write a short work history. Whatever you want. Be creative.
You can check out my co-gm's application for her character. it doesn't have to be long and can be humorous if you want.
In order of importance of how I will be determining if I will accept you into the rp or not is
1. Past history with role plays and personality
2. Writing skill
3. Character profile
4. Time. If two people are of equal standing in my eyes and I can only choose one then I will have to go with the person who submitted their profile first.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors

"Welcome to the CMC Head quarters. I was told that I was taking a new squad out to break them in and I'm assuming that would be you three" He said with a bit of distaste. "I am Urdnot Draith your squad leader, call me Draith, and this" he gestured to Ava behind him "is Avaline Walsh. Before you start asking questions I have a few things to say. I don't put up with back talk, you can disagree with me but if you disrespect me then I will not hesitate to put you in your proper place." He eyed all the new recruits for a few seconds before continuing "I am supposed to take you out on a mission to Arvuna, the water world, to recover a damn rock that one of our customers want. All I know is that it's a meteor comprised of various amounts of unknown metal, besides that I'm in the dark. So there's your mission briefing. We leave in two hours. Got anything else to add Ava?" he asked looking down to his companion

Their new recruits soon came into view and Ava couldn't help but raise an amused brow at the amount of diversity of the small group. It was like a fucking after school special or something, be sensitive to all races. The thought made her grin as they came to stand in front of the table and Draith began his usual, I give zero fucks about all of you and all I want is for you to listen and don't cause me trouble speech. He rambled through the brief of the mission in record time before addressing her. "I think you about summed it up my fearless leader. Any questions you got while Draith isn't around, come to me, got it? Good. So, follow along my dear lambs and rattle off any questions you have while we walk." As long as these three could stand Kyvar then they'd more than likely be able to stick around for the simple retrieval mission. The grungy batarian had a way of running everyone away though, which is exactly why he wasn't allowed to come on their first meeting trips.

His body became tense and he didn't know what to do, but he couldn't let this "thing" just walk there like he was one of them. He needed to do something. Clouded by anger Varal'zhan's biotics flared up and surrounded him in the usual blue field and he said in a slow and threatening voice, "Give me a good reason why there is a geth or by the homeworld I will crush it with my powers."

" That so? And why should I even come along with you? I could kill both of you right here and leave. I don't know much that can survive a couple shots to the face."
The quarian and the geth had started bickering, and surprisingly enough, the quarian was a biotic. " And you two shut up, especially you flashlight head."

"What the hell do any of you think you're doing?! We're in the middle of a crowded, and I repeat crowded, casino with bystanders ALL AROUND! You can't even hold in your raging hormones until we get to our station below? You're all soldiers to some degree so act like it for god sakes! Jesus, mercenary doesn't mean a moron who will fight and bitch at any chance they get! And you" She faced the turian Kyril and folded her arms. "You really wanna pop one off in my head and end back in Purgatory then fine, by all means do so because that's exactly where you'll end up if you off me in front of, and once again I emphasize, this crowd you all have attracted. Be part of our team and earn wages you can spend how you want or go back to being a slave at that hell hole of a prison because frankly I don't care where you go. Now once again." She slapped an elevator button on the wall to emphasize her anger as she spoke and angrily gestured for them to enter the small box when it opened. "you can kick the shit out of each other AFTER we're out of the public eye." Damn, for once there was a huge fight and Kyvar hadn't been the source of it. He'd be sorely disappointed.

" So you're saying that if I work for you, I'll get paid, and I won't ever need to worry about retuning back to the hellhole the Blue Sun's run?"
He felt the statsis field wear off and he holstered his gun, but all the same looked cautiously at the geth.

Arvuna ↪ Jiwa Island Owner: RolePlayGateway
Beautiful beaches, lush forests, blue sky, and an even bluer sea make this island a beautiful vacation spot. The abundance of carnivorous wild life, and poisonous insects on the other hand make it a bit less inviting.
