History Roleplay / MassEffectRelinquish

* AnythingThatMoves: Rolfe, and to a lesser extent Varian.

** ''Communist Androids'' too.

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: Kyri says this of the galaxy when bumping into Grore again.

* AffectionateNickname: Lemon.
** Also doubles as EmbarrassingNickname. James hates it. [[spoiler: Or at least he says he does.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: Averted: Artificial Intelligences, namely the Geth, have become more accepted in the galactic community since the end of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.
** Played straight when you consider the Council still curtails the developments of AIs, just to a lesser extent than before.

* TheChick: Kyri, Cerri and Kiara are the only female characters aboard the Ragtag.
** And remember, Cerri and Kiara are Asari, an all-female race.

* DisproportionateRetribution: The thug that insults James at the beginning gets gunned down.
** Then again, they likely had plans to murder him, so...

** ''"Maybe we should pin [Kyri] down and give her a Glasgow smile!"''

*** Think that's bad? Half of Varian's face was torn off by [[spoiler: a ''raging moose!'']] It's been artificially repaired, but it's still noticeable.

** '''Kyri:''' I hate you, Lemon.
** '''James:''' The feeling's mutual.

** '''James:''' I have a shotgun.
** '''Kyri:''' Hmm, maybe we'll talk later.

** Let's see, we have a snarky, Ex-Cerberus HumanPopsicle, a Turian OldSoldier who's done mercenary work in every corner of the galaxy, an alcoholic, Quarian adrenaline junkie, a GentleGiant in Toreg, a {{Jerkass}} in Garz, a Geth RobotBuddy in Trojan, Rakil the Batarian and TheQuietOne, and TheComicallySerious Cerri, all headed by TheCaptain who doesn't realize that DrugsAreBad.
*** [[spoiler: Actually he does, in fact he ''enjoys'' the thought of them eventually crippling his costumers.]]

* PrecisionFStrike:
** ''"Keelah se'lai, motherfuckers!"''

* RedOniBlueOni: Kyri is red, James is blue.
** Definitely not ColorCodedForYourConvenience; Kyri wears black/green, James wears white/yellow/black.

** How could we forget [[spoiler: Blue Suns defector]] Robert?

** '''Varian:''' It's too bad you (Kyri) got your pretty little face all cut up. Now you're gonna start lookin' like me!

* SuperDoc: Doc. [[spoiler: Shocking right?]]

** '''James:''' "How'd you like it if I started calling you "annoying bitch"? ''It fits.'''''

** ''"It seems trouble follows you around."''

* TheChick: Kyri and Cerri are the only female characters aboard the Ragtag.

* RememberTheAlamo: Everyone over the age of 45 or so (excluding James, being frozen and all that) has a history with the Reaper War.

** "I hate you, Lemon."
** "The feeling's mutual."

* MythologyGag: James unwittingly copies Tali's "I've got a shotgun" line from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''.
** Kyri even responds with Garrus' "Maybe we'll talk later" line.

* TheXenophile: Rolfe, particularly towards Turians, and Cerri, mainly towards females outside of her own species.

* ShipTease: [[Spoiler: ''Confederated Southern States'' is doing a pretty good job with James and Kyri.]]

* IllBeInMyBunk: Subverted and {{lampshaded}} by Varian and James. Varian, after a trip to Omega, uses this trope word for word. James then says "the tissues are by the stairs". Varian didn't actually have a DateWithRosiePalms, but it's still funny.

* MythologyGag: James unwittingly copies Tali's "I've got a shotgun" line from MassEffect2.

* AppliedPhelbotinum: Doc uses medical nanites to treat severe wounds, and most characters posses medi-gel which nearly instantaneously heals minor wounds.

** Played straight when you consider the Council still curtails the developments of AIs, just to a lesser extent than before.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Toreg suffers from one which seems to have severely impeded his mental maturation.

* AppliedPhelbotinum: Doc uses medical nanites to treat and severe wounds, and most characters posses medi-gel which nearly instantaneously heals minor wounds.

** Teronus has those classic villain scars. Badass.
