Added DiffLines:

The third fic is summarized thusly: "A house divided cannot stand. Following an explosive first contact, and the cementation of their place as a galactic superpower, the Systems Alliance must now deal with the consequences of their choices and the aftermath of their wars. Earth is set ablaze, Sparta is torn apart, and below it all simmers an ancient, apocalyptic plot."

* AdaptationalVillainy: Councilor Sparatus, in canon, is simply an ObstructiveBureaucrat who eventually comes to his senses and becomes openly helpful during the Reaper War. Here, he's a bullheaded, arrogant BloodKnight who is perhaps the main reason the war got so bad.



* BlackAndGreyMorality: An idealistic example. The Humans resort to utterly ruthless tactics to defend Earth, but most Turians realize full well they're being dragged into a war purely to nurse Sparatus' wounded ego, and the rest of the Council spends the entire fic trying desperately to slap some sense into him.



** Inverted for [[spoiler:"nuking" Palavren-that was a bluff after the Quarians convinced the humans to not use the PlanetKiller, which did have the effect of finally breaking Sparatus' spirit.]]



* LizardFolk: The Saltorians

* LizardFolk: The SaltoriansSaltorians.


Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: It doesn't help, but the Citadel Councilors not named Sparatus tries desperately to deescalate the First Contact War upon realizing what kind of bee's nest the Turians kicked and repeatedly remind him he provoked Humanity in the first place.


Added DiffLines:

* StupidEvil: A plot point; Sparatus' own inability to swallow his pride and admit he was reckless and made a mistake escalates the First Contact War far beyond what either his own species or Humanity wanted.


Added DiffLines:

* WarIsHell: The first fic depicts the First Contact War as a completely avoidable tragedy which absolutely nobody on either side wanted.

The Warverse is a ''Franchise/MassEffect'' AlternateUniverse FanFic series by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4414294/ProfFartBurger ProfFartBurger ]] And yes, that is indeed his name. As of September 2015, there are two fics in it; [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8949791/1/Mass-Effect-The-First-War The First War]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10056566/1/Mass-Effect-The-New-Face-of-War The New Face of War]].

The Premise behind the fics is that the Protheans, while they certainly left a base behind on Mars, have emptied it out when they left; there wasn't anything in it when the Humans came 'round. This led to the Humans evolving along a very "{{Franchise/Halo}}" path. (Though the Author acknowledges the similarities between Warverse Humanity and Halo's Humanity, he claims that they are separate. He's not entirely wrong... )

[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButWaitTheresMore However, it doesn't stop there. ]] After developing a mode of FTL Travel, and weaponry that blindsides the galaxy, the Humans of the Systems Alliance make contact with the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceNomads Quarians]] instead, and summarily enters war with the Turian Hierarchy, due to previous circumstances the Humans and even the Quarians, to some extent, didn't know about.

The second fic starts right afterwards, although the main action starts a couple years later. Humanity is on decent enough terms with the Council without being a part of it. However, there are some internal rebellions, a war with Batarians, some geniuses are plotting... And in the background, a new generation of super soldiers is being trained. Orphans raised in TheSpartanWay since six. And the best of them is John 2-15. Born as John Shepard.

[[WordOfGod The author]] says he's working on improving the 'sub par' beginning.

!!Examples of Tropes Found In Warverse:

* ArcNumber: The wrier seems to really love 612.
* ArtEvolution: The quality of writing improves after the first few chapters. [[WordOfGod The Author Says]] that the Grammar/Tense mistakes in the beginning were because he was switching from a First Person Present tense to the Third Person omnipotent tense.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:The Humans' defense of Earth, and subsequent invasion of Palaven.]] Is a perfect example.
* DeflectorShields: [[spoiler:Seeing that Quarian Kinetic Barriers are largely useless against Magnetic Accelerator weaponry, the Humans make it better.]] It works better than expected, but doesn't really make an appearance until the end of the story.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Subverted, [[spoiler:The Human Ambassador tricks the Galaxy into thinking they utilized the [[NuclearOption Nuclear Option]] to end the war.]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a war fic, so it's light on plot and heavy on action, though that's not to say the plot itself is weak.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:The Turians hit Earth, Humanity hits back.]]
* ImprobablyHighIQ: up to 1000, though that requires artificial enhancements.
* LizardFolk: The Saltorians
* PluckyComicRelief:
** Christopher Mcgraw. [[WordOfGod Word of God]] Calls him a 'mix between Stephen Hawking, Einstein, Myself, and George Carlin all in one'.
** Doubles as [[DeusExMachina Deus Ex Machina]] [[spoiler:The guy either directly or is indirectly responsible for making Humanity the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Warrior Race]] The Author so desperately wants it to be.]] Though, kind of subverted, [[spoiler: [[NanoMachines Given the origins for his intellect]]. ]]
* RockBeatsLaser:
** [[spoiler:Because the Human bullet-based weaponry is so 'archaic', due to its chemical propellant, the projectiles move too slow to be detected by Turian Shields, meaning that their shields are useless against Human Weapons. Which is strange because in-canon shields activate for melee attacks, which are much slower than a bullet.]]
** [[spoiler:Same goes for all Human Tech, really. Human armor is designed to protect against bullets, so the miniscule Turian slugs can't penetrate it. Human Naval Weaponry is designed to pierce through, and their armor is designed to protect against that, as opposed to Turian Naval weapons, which are designed to flatten and expand, meaning their armor and weapons are more or less useless against Human rail guns unless used en masse.]]
* TheSpartanWay: SIGMA II Program.
* SuperSoldiers: The Sigmas.
* YourHeadASplode: A real TearJerker moment with [[spoiler:Tali's mother. Her daughter went into shock, trying to push the remains back into the helmet.]]
