I kind of like the idea of Fade as a power. It reminds me of the Cloak and Dagger watch in TF 2 (I think I've got it right: it's the cloaking device that recharges if you stand still, even when it's on)
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."You don't have to list your custom power as one of your class abilities, unless you can't think of a fourth power.
The rest of it i have no problem with. Heck, he sounds like someone who could kinda make friends easily with Rach'an. (Not to mention scare the living daylights out of him whenever he wants.)
"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillFour stun grenades sound okay? I guess even the most ninja-like infiltrator needs something for when he gets seen.
That sounds wonderful. Does that mean the engineering area—or wherever Rach'an is supposed to work—is the driest part of the ship? In any case, how much of a prankster Syven is remains to be seen; probably not much, but an occasional prank does relieve boredom.
EDIT: Or flashbangs.

Three flashbangs sounds all right. Editing character sheet.
If Syven should be assigned a position on the ship while he's not on the ground, he should probably work with the ship's electronics hardware. Be advised, though, that I'm not tech-savvy enough about electronics to describe anything in detail. For his living quarters, feel free to assign any spot that isn't usually full of people; personally, I prefer anywhere somewhat out of the way that is not a cargo hold.
EDIT: If the ship is too small to warrant the assignment of individual living spaces, feel free to give him a bunk. "Hot Bunking" is also acceptable if space is limited.

After some debate, a second character.
- Name: Kardan M'Kret
- Race: Batarian
- Age: 43
- Class: Soldier
- Class Abilities: Concussive Shot, Incendiary Ammo, Armor-Piercing Ammo, Heavy Weapons Training
- Class Weapons: M-3 Predator Heavy Pistol, Modified Batarian State Arms Terminator Assault Rifle (With Akelah carved into the side), Modified Batarian State Arms Executioner Shotgun, M-97 Viper Sniper Rifle, M-451 Firestorm Flamethrower
- Appearance: Very swarthy for a Batarian, large gash running down his permanently closed top left eye. Usually seen wearing heavy armor even when off of the field, but occasionally can be seen wearing a set of dull green clothing when out of armor. Due to hypersensitivity to light inflicted from a chemical weapons attack, always wears a four-eyed set of goggles, or in some instances off-field strange-looking four-lensed reflective sunglasses.
- Backstory: Former Special Intervention Unit agent. Deserted the Hegemony after being blamed for a fouled-up mission, and has been hiring himself out as a freelancer ever since. Was once contracted by the Blue Suns for training their personnel, but quit after perceived instances of mismanagement. Still on relatively friendly terms with the Blue Suns. Negotiated his way into the outfit.
- Personality: Gruff but not unapproachably so. Occasionally tells war stories. Looks down on perceived physical weaknesses and unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Personal Power: Smoke/Gas Grenades (4 grenades overall per deployment). Kardan receives smoke grenades for creating temporary cover during missions, or to mark locations for various purposes. He occasionally replaces the smoke grenades for gas grenades designed to incapacitate the enemy.
Might remove one of my characters if I think I've over-committed.
EDIT: Added minor detail in class weapons section.

Okay, one issue i'm spotting: Personal powers are unlocked after completion of a characters Personal Mission. There is no upgrade to them, they are the upgrade.
The powers for both of your characters are fine, though, the upgrade bit just needs to be removed.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank Hill![]()
Hmmm... I like the name, although i have no clue about Slowzombie or Plumbum.
Actually, BERT 1 (wait, we got into this before)
I like it.
Also: Your batarian will not get on with my salarian.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.I haven't been on Tv Tropes in a long time. Almost forgot how to format. Ooops.
- Name: Deimos Braxis
- Race: Drell
- Age: 26
- Class: Vanguard
- Class Abilities: Charge, Shockwave, Pull, Incendiary Ammo
- Weapons: M-12 Locust,M-6 Carnifex, M-23 Katana
- Appearance: Deimos is a drell of greenish blue tone (think Koylat, but maybe a little greener) and a muscular build. Not very short, but not too tall, either. Wears medium Titan armor on the field, and can usually be seen in his Ozzy uniform or grey blue casual clothes when off.
- Backstory: Born on Kahje, did "private bodyguard work" for a wealthy hanar(details of position uncertain) and left for unknown reasons to the Citadel. Lived a high stakes lifestyle with ships, guns, gangs and drugs, before finally settling down on the Ozzy. Well, tried to settle. It seems trouble follows him there, too.
- Personality: Deimos is a a friendly guy,and the first one to crack a joke, even in the most insane and/or of times - such as gunfire raining down from above. Is very loyal and can be at times a bit sarcastic.
- Personal Power: Decimate. Akin to the opposite of a biotic singularity- instead of drawing things to a single area, it creates a reverse field that repels everything around it. Such as individual bodyparts, etc.. Cannot be used often, as it's very mentally and physically exhausting on the user, not to mention the effects are... gruesome.
- Miscellaneous: Gunnery Sergeant; handles the big guns. Gets along with pretty much everyone on the ship. Probably closer to Marik and Jordan than anyone else. Is slightly addicted to Tupari.

Nothing to see here. Move along.![]()
Are you referring to Paragon's character or mine? If it's mine, I can almost see the reason. For one, Adenn doesn't seem the most sociable of the lot.
Kardan's views on management: enough to guarantee streamlined operations. No more, no less. Given his freelancer career, however, he probably leans toward "less".
Two drell in one ship sounds interesting. Your character would be the heavy hitter, of course.
Come to think of it, he sounds like a Foil to my character in almost every respect. This will be fun.

Thanks.
And, I've been horrifically busy in the past couple of months. I'm not as busy nowadays, but I won't be able to post round the clock like I used to in the summer. So, I'll be active, but not anywhere near the level I was a couple months ago.

I was imagining something like Feron's skin tone but a bit darker.
Skin tone's not that important, anyhow; his most distinct characteristic is the scar.
