The Bridge: A Mass Effect AC

Eh, can't think of a reason not to hold it on Monday.
 
Well, we have eleven registered and six votes for Monday. Best Friday can do is five, so I'd assume that settles it.
 
Can do Monday.
 
Name: Fiera Blaspiri
Race: Asari
Biotic: Yes
Background: Born on Cyone to a Salarian father almost 200 years ago, Fiera is now roughly half-way through her maiden stage. Although Fiera was adept with the technical theories that her father taught her as she grew up, in truth she dreamed of her mothers tales of Commando and mercenary work. As such she sought throughout her youth to hone her biotic abilities, intending to join the commandos as a huntress. However, when she finally reached a position in the Commando units, Fiera was disheartened by the relative quiet of the galaxy leaving them few opportunities for deployment. Instead, she began a tour through a variety of mercenary bands, delighting in the experience of combat. Rapidly coming to prefer a role as a sniper, Fiera moved across the galaxy, fighting a wide variety of enemies alongside a wide variety of allies. Filling both these roles at various times was a Krogan by the name of Nakmor Kudack, who alternated between a friend and a rival to Fiera depending on which side they happened to be on at the time. Both have nearly killed the other several times, but always some twist of fate has kept them alive to laugh about it together whenever they next fight on the same side. Fiera's first meeting with the Bridge was an adversarial one, with their operatives attempting to deal with her then-current organisations client in one of the slums of Omega. Watching the bitter fire-fight from a distance with her sniper rifle, Fiera was impressed by the numerous Bridge operatives attempting to minimise collateral damage in their attacks, and resolved to find out more about them. Soon after, once more teamed up with Kudack, she found herself fighting them again, and this time the two of them struggled to escape with their lives. However, apparently one of the operatives she fought had also been impressed, and when she found an offer of employment with them in her inbox, Fiera took it.

Can't actually do Monday now. Go on without me.
 
Everyone try to be ready to go by 6pm.
 
A link to the chatroom would be highly appreciated.
 
Player list is up. I only put in players with back stories; this doesn't mean that you're out of the game, I just wanted to chalk up everyone's skills that I could. Check the front page for some extra stuff your character has.
 
Name: Nista
Race: Krogan
Background: Like most Krogan warriors, Nista was born on the irradated landscape of Tuchanka. That is where her similarities end. The genophage, leaving most Krogan females unable to successfully have children, made any that could into a prized commodity. Nista grew up in one of the various female clans, being taught how to serve whatever warlord they would be sold to and make oneself valuable on the market. Nista, however, had no interest in becoming a babymaker. Mesmerized by tales of the Rachni Wars and the Krogan Rebellion, she dreamed of one day going up into the stars and fighting like her ancestors.

One day, a lost young Krogan sniper wandered into the camp. Hungry and tired, he introduced himself as Khel Fortack, before passing out of exhaustion. Realizing he probably would be killed if he was discovered inside a female clan, Nista snuck his body to her home and helped him recover, while simultaneously hiding from the rest of the camp. Fortack in gratitude for her help, offered to teach Nista how to use a rifle after she confessed her aspirations to him.

The two started to bond during their training sessions, and they started to share their life stories with each other. Fortack was exiled from his clan due to being on the losing side of internal politics, and he was planning on leaving Tuchanka and becoming a mercenary. Near the end of their training, the two shared the night together, before he headed off to find a spaceport.

A week after he left, Nistra missed her period.

She didn't say anything to anyone. She knew what would happen if she did; she'd be forced to join a clan immediately and become a prize to fight over for the males. She didn't want this fate; to live her life as a sex slave and have no freedom or self-respect. She simply got up and left. Packing whatever belongings she could muster, she hitchhiked on the next merchant ship she could find, eventually finding herself on the Citadel.

After repeatedly slamming her stomach into hard objects to (hopefully) force a miscarriage, she decided to follow Fortack's planned path and offer herself as a mercenary. While krogans are almost always in demand, and snipers tend to also be on demand, a krogan sniper was not. What's the point of having a krogan if all its going to do is stay away from the action? She almost decided to dejectingly walk away, until she recieved an offer from a group called the Bridge.

Whilst we were setting up the groups for the first mission, it took us a while to get everyone's abilities sorted out, so I figured I 'd make this list to make the process easier in the future. Below are all the proper sign-ups, showing which combat and damage styles each person uses. Note this is limited to primary damage-dealers, it doesn't mention side-arms and low-damage powers like singularity.

Red: Elcor Heavy, Physical Damage
Arya: Yahg Tech/Heavy, Physical Damage
DoubleA: Krogan Combat, Physical/Energy Damage
Mech: Turian Biotic/Combat, Biotic/Energy Damage
Kinich: Vorcha Combat, Physical/Energy+Biotic Damage
Kaiser: Drell Tech/Sniper, Physical/Energy Damage
Sniped: Human Combat, Energy Damage
Patchy: Quarian Tech, Physical Damage
Daird: Human Tech, Physical/Slashing Damage
Dem: Asari Biotic/Sniper, Energy Damage
Megs: Krogan Sniper, Physical Damage

A couple of these are debatable, so feel free to give reasons for any changes you think should be made. Also note that 'Combat' means 'close-mid range weapons', and that many powers have been discounted as they don't appear to be significant parts of the char build. Enjoy.

Hey guys. When are the people that still have to start the first mission able to be around?
 
I'll be unavailable during typical mission hours Thursday, and I believe Saturday.
 
Imma be out of town from the 3rd to, at most, 15th, but I'll still have Internets.
 
I am around at mission-able hours every day except Thursdays, although I cannot guarantee I will have access to mission-capable internet.
DT
 
Uhh. I think I'm missing timetables for at least two people.

In case things go weird for the third team, when can everyone else AC?
 
Protip: Setting a regular date for an AC (like every Thursday) is so far the best way of getting people together for one.
