History Characters / MassEffectAndromedaPartyMembers

* BadassBeard: Has one made of ''spikes'' no less! He is the first krogan in the franchise to possess this feature, though a few minor NPC's in ''Andromeda'' also have one, and the small plate-like structures on [[Characters/MassEffect2EarlyPartyMembers Grunt's]] chin could be taken as a sort of peach-fuzz equivalent.

* NotSoDifferent: She's pretty upset by Jaal noting how the asari reproduction method isn't too far removed from the kett's. It doesn't help that the Archon himself also notes that in his ruminations on what he learned from captured asari.

* CantTakeCriticism: One of Liam's flaws is that while he'll frequently criticize his teammates for things, the minute anyone criticizes him ''back'', he gets angry.

The Tempest's Crisis Response specialist. A former police officer who arrives in Andromeda aboard the Hyperion. Liam Kosta is part of the Pathfinder team and helps with security. He is a romance option for a female Ryder.

The second-in-command of the human Pathfinder team. Lieutenant Cora Harper is a former Alliance officer, a human biotic and an ally of Ryder. Cora's biotics are exceptionally strong for a human, so the Alliance arranged for her to receive asari huntress training so she could better control them. She is a romance option for a male Ryder.

An asari who came to Andromeda aboard the Nexus. Peebee is an adventurer who quickly set off on her own after the Nexus' arrival in order to study alien technologies, and her role is to help Ryder find out more about these technologies. She is a romance option for a Ryder of either gender.

A krogan ally of Ryder who joined his clan on the voyage to Andromeda. Nakmor Drack is a krogan who has spent over 1,400 years fighting as a soldier, a mercenary and as a pirate. He joined with the Andromeda Initiative in order to remain with his clan and because the Andromeda galaxy presented to him an opportunity to find new things to shoot. He's also the grandfather of Nakmor Kesh, the Nexus Superintendent for the Andromeda Initiative.

* MaleGaze: Her eventual sex scene focuses quite a bit on her butt.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: One of his main problems is he thinks with his heart... and pretty much ONLY with his heart. He doesn't follow through his ideas and plans with logic, but just by what seems moral and right at the time. This often blows up in his face when RealityEnsues.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Almost gets Ryder and another crewmember killed during her loyalty mission. Also, one of the ''Tempest'''s escape pods is lost on this mission. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Ryder can force her to pay it off]].

* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: In general Liam is more hotheaded than most of the previous male love interests in the franchise but like Garrus, Liam is an ex-cop who left because he felt stifled by regulations who becomes a love interest to the main character. However, Liam was actually a ''failed'' cop who got ejected from the force into Crisis Response, while general consensus was that Garrus was actually an excellent policeman, who left to found a vigilante squad because procedures were holding him back. While Garrus become an officer of the law after his father prevented him from being a Spectre, Liam become an officer of the law to honor his because he could not follow in his father's footsteps. Both have hot-blooded tendencies that land them in trouble or earn the ire of their crewmates, but the more brooding Garrus balances this out with thoughtful stoicism, while Liam often rushes in without thinking, whether out of anger or enthusiasm. This carries over to their fighting styles, where both are tech-savvy warriors who start out with the Overload power, but while Garrus tends to keep things at a distance with his SniperRifle, Liam prefers to get up close with his dual-wielded omniblades.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Liam is this with Garrus. While Garrus become an officer of the law after his father prevented him from being a Spectre. Liam become an officer of the law to honor his because he could not follow in his fathers footsteps. Both have hot-blooded tendencies that land them in trouble or earn the ire of their crewmates, but Garrus balances his out with stoicism, while Liam is rather passionate all the time. Garrus is a potential love interest of the main character who prefers long distance tactics. Liam is a possible love interest who prefers close combat.
%%** He also contrasts Jacob Taylor. Whereas Jacob was a pretty chill guy who didn't like to talk about his feelings and tended to be very by the book (to the point of being TheGenericGuy), Liam is a hotblooded, highly emotional, very extroverted guy with the tendency to be highly reckless and borderline insubordinate.

** To Garrus in many ways. Like Garrus, Liam is an ex-cop who left because he felt stifled by regulations. Just like Garrus, but probably even more so, Liam has a tendency to ask inappropriate cultural questions. Like Garrus, Liam uses Overload. However, Liam was actually a ''failed'' cop who got ejected from the force into Crisis Response, while general consensus was that Garrus was actually an excellent policeman, who left to found a vigilante squad because procedures were holding him back. Also, Garrus prefers to keep things at a distance with his SniperRifle, while Liam prefers close quarters combat with his dual wielding omniblades.

* ScarsAreForever: During the climax with Akksul, if Ryder doesn't interfere, he'll allow Akksul to fire his gun at him, which will graze his cheek and ear. The scar remains for the rest of the game.

* ScarsAreForever: During the climax with Aksuul, if Ryder doesn't interfere, he'll allow Aksuul to fire his gun at him, which will graze his cheek and ear. The scar remains for the rest of the game.

* {{Foil}}: To Garrus in many ways. Like Garrus, Liam is an ex-cop who left because he felt stifled by regulations. Just like Garrus, but probably even more so, Liam has a tendency to ask inappropriate cultural questions. Like Garrus, Liam uses Overload. However, Liam was actually a ''failed'' cop who got ejected from the force into Crisis Response, while general consensus was that Garrus was actually an excellent policeman, who left to found a vigilante squad because procedures were holding him back. Also, Garrus prefers to keep things at a distance with his SniperRifle, while Liam prefers close quarters combat with his dual wielding omniblades.
** To Cora as well. Cora is a professional, by the book, military type, who willingly performs morally dubious actions ForTheGreaterGood, and has very little agency of her own, preferring to follow the examples and orders of others instead of forging her own path, and tends to be a woman of few words. Liam is much more chaotic, and goes off and does his own thing without even checking with others to see if its a good idea or not, is extremely critical of anything that even falls into a morally grey area, and was never in the military leading to a far more loose and relaxed personality and style, and possessing a nitrous oxide boosted motor mouth. Besides being human and good people, they are as about as opposite as you can get.
** In many ways, to Ryder himself/herself. Both of them start out as junior members of Alec’s team, both of them fall out of the same shuttle on Habitat 7 and both of them start out cut off from the rest of the team and need to find their way to them. Ryder rises to the challenge, navigating the environmental hazard, keeping cool during an initial firefight with the Kett and rally over to where Cora is stranded, and optionally can even rescue a captured teammate, find some crucial intel about the Kett, find a quirk in the planet’s ecosystem and even discover some initial intel about the Remnant. Liam falls to pieces, only able to follow along with an air of exasperation, then loses control by emptying an entire clip into a corpse in anger. Ryder engages in actual diplomatic efforts with the Angaara, even working with ambassadors on both sides to resolve diplomatic flare ups, while Liam clumsily attempts to move diplomatic efforts along, then freaks out when stymied. Ryder carefully works with Angaara to establish two outposts, obtain seeds and nutrient paste processing procedures and an Exponential Growth Rate Factor mutation to aid in food cultivation and even scours multiple planets to find edible plants to tangibly help the Nexus’s food situation, while Liam almost commits industrial espionage to fix a food shortage and when that fails, freaks out and engages in a blatantly risky and uneven trade with an improperly vetted Angaara contact that balloons into a security problem. Ryder can smoothly execute raids on at least one and three more well fortified enemy outposts, while Liam’s one plan of attack literally goes sideways and needs a lot of external help to salvage. In short, Liam is an examination of someone who attempts the tasks Ryder attempts - and fails.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: One of his main problems is he thinks with his heart... and pretty much ONLY with his heart. He doesn't follow through his ideas and plans with logic, but just by what seems moral and right at the time. This often blows up in his face when RealityEnsues.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: During her LoyaltyMission, [[spoiler:she tricks Ryder and a third squadmate into entering her escape pod, and then ejects it onto the surface of a volcanic planet. Once they crash, they see to their horror that if Peebee hadn't been ''extremely'' lucky, she would have dunked them all in hot lava. SAM then tells them that Kallo has no way of safely landing the ''Tempest'' and thus the team has no way off the planet]]. Peebee's only response is ''"Oops."''. You can choose how Ryder reacts -- they can enjoy the spontaneity or be angry beyond the words to express it.

->'''Voiced by:''' Christine Lakin

* ObliviousToHerOwnDescription: Peebee finds Syd too much, and when Vetra describes her as "bouncy, chatty, annoying", she agrees, and claims not to know anyone else like that.

** Even moreso with Vetra. Despite a very rocky start between them, as well as numerous misunderstanding because of their opposite upbringings and personalities, Vetra and Peebee eventually get along [[LikeBrotherAndSister like sisters]] and, at one point, Peebee even admits that Vetra is her favorite--even over Ryder.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Peebee" is apparently a nickname derived from her initials - her actual name is Pelessaria B’Sayle. When first encountered, she says that she finds her full name to be too long, so she just goes by Peebee instead.

* OpportunisticBastard: Liam's opinion of Peebee is that she's a "user"--someone who comes behind after a disaster and takes or does what she wants. Peebee's attempts to deny it only end up convincing Liam more.

* StoneWall: As strange as it may seem for an asari (and quite in contrast to what we got used to in the trilogy), a levelled Peebee's extremely high health and shield strength mean you'll almost never see her go down in a fight on normal difficulties. Her damage output is meagre, but that's not her job anyway - she's a great support character adept at weakening entire enemy squads in one go and setting up primers for combo detonations. Only Drack is more resilient than her, but since she tends to stick to cover instead of charging into the fray, that only means she'll stay battle-ready that much longer.

* ZeroGSpot: If she and Ryder make out in the Zero-G chamber, 'no strings attached'. Apparently, both have a real blast trying to figure out how to actually get it to work under these conditions. We don't get to see anything of it, but it can be repeated indefinitely until her loyalty mission has been completed.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Peebee is the foolish sibling to her older sister's responsible, though Peebee's statements about her suggest the later being so serious was what prompted her to be foolish in the first place.

-->'''Drack:''' Mess with me, I wear your spine as a hat.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Liam is this with Garrus and Ashley. While Garrus become an officer of the law after his father prevented him from being a Spectre. Liam become an officer of the law to honor his because he could not follow in his fathers footsteps. Ashley is rigid and military with a strong distrust of Aliens due to her [[OldShame grand father surrender affecting her career.]] Liam is more loose and easy going who believes in co-operation after his years working with a multi-species response team. Garrus is a potential love interest of the main character who prefers long distance tactics . Liam is a possible love interest who prefers close combat.

* FatalFlaw: His self-righteous Idealism causes him to be very blunt and confrontational with most of the crew, leading to most of them disliking him and wanting to keep their distance. His loyalty mission begins because of his Idealism.

* BadassBeard: Has one made of ''spikes'' no less! He is the first krogan in the franchise to possess this feature, though a few minor NPC's in ''Andromeda'' also have one, and the small plate-like structures on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/MassEffect2EarlyPartyMembers Grunt's]] chin could be taken as a sort of peach-fuzz equivalent.

* BadassBeard: Has one made of ''spikes'' no less! He is the first krogan in the franchise to possess this feature, though a few minor NPC's in ''Andromeda'' also have one.

* NowWhat: After the end credits, in her conversations with Ryder she considers between sticking with them or settling down somewhere to look after Sid, as had been her initial plan. She decides to stick with Ryder for the foreseeable.

* {{Adorkable}}: Very sweet towards everyone, sometimes prone to messing things up and babbling.

* {{Adorkable}}: She comes across as very adorkable, and she's ''extremely'' bubbly.
--> '''Drack:''' What's with the smudge over your eyes? Trying to be some kind of super hero?
--> '''Peebee:''' Why all the bones? Trying to be some kind of super villain?
--> '''Drack:''' [[BluntYes Yes.]]
--> '''Peebee:''' ''Cool.''
** Also shows when she tries asking Ryder if they want to go all the way with her. Rather than ask to their face, Peebee records a message on Poc, leaves Ryder with her and runs for it.

* GenkiGirl: She's quite energetic when she gets excited.

* {{Adorkable}}: Has a few instances of this, most notably if Ryder agrees to a relationship. His reaction is similar to that of an excited teenager who just successfully asked their crush out on a date. The fact that the conversation takes place in Jaal's bedroom at his family home completely sells it and makes it that much more endearing.
--> '''Jaal''': My mother is going to love you. ({{beat}}) I'm sorry.

* NeverMyFault: A consistent character flaw. The closest he gets to accepting actual responsibility for a screw up is at the end of his loyalty mission, where he does admit the situation was ''in part'' his fault. However, if Ryder calls him out on all the ways he screwed up, instead of taking responsibility, he just gets defensive.
