The Emperor's Will Made Manifest
Mass Effect Andromeda - Retaliation
The Archon is dead. The Nexus, the outcasts, and the Angara have made planet fall on Meridian. The pioneers that braved the journey from the Milky Way to Andromeda and Angara celebrate and mourn alike. Despite the legendary acts executed by Ryder’s pathfinder team, danger still encroaches upon the Nexus.
The Kett and the mysteries behind the Remnant still persist.
But not all can be a legend like Ryder or hold the office of a pathfinder. Some are ordinary individuals pressed into extraordinary circumstances. Disregarding the protests from those within the Initiative leadership that sued for scientific progress over the militarism movement ignited by the encounter with the Kett, Kandros and various others have taken the first steps to building a professional army of the Initiative.
Several years have passed since the conflict with the Heleus Archon. The Initiative has built up its military might with the help of the Angara. On the outskirts of Initiative-Angara controlled space, the Kett have returned to finish what the Archon couldn’t. To exalt the species who overcame one of their own.
Part of the Initiative-Angaran Alliance Unified Military Branches (IAA-UMB), we are a Pinnacle cell: operatives primarily recruited from APEX. Our mission is to be the vanguard against any dangers to, enemies within and without, the Initiative-Angaran Alliance (IAA). Based off the spectres, it is our job to eradicate the threat in its nascent form or, if that should fail, pave the way for IAA retaliation.
The Initiative didn’t come as conquerors.
Those who desire conquest found us.

- First and foremost, have fun! As your GM, I'm hoping to provide some level of immersion in the MEA world. There will be NPCs and supporting characters, which I will help track on the OOC page for your reference and reading pleasure.
- I will
assume controlnot control or god mod your characters. However, I will write things that may impact your characters. Similarly, I expect folks to exercise good judgement and not godify their characters. - To address the linear nature of the roleplay, there are set story points already plotted that we probably will not stray from. However, I have included some parts in the roleplay where y'all can voice your opinion on which branch we all want it go.
- As a response to point 3, feel free to talk to me! Suggest things! I'd like to foster a collaborative open forum type environment!
- While hostile, neutral, and friendly NPCs may be interacted with as you wish, the 'boss' enemies will be controlled by yours truly and be more involved in how to confront them. Hopefully, I can rely on folks' discretion to write appropriately when we encounter these figures.
- As expected, we will follow the rules of RPN. I also ask that if any concerns arise, be civil in resolving them.
- For post length, I don't want to mandate a post requirement. In my opinion, that kills the fun of writing. What I will say is minimize one liners as much as possible. Seldom is that enough for others to respond to. If you have concerns with this, ask me.
- On the topic of activity, I'm pretty sure the majority of us have lives outside of RPing. However, to prevent things from going full stop, I'd like to aim for ONE post per WEEK. I hope that's doable.
- If you need to take a leave of absence, that's fine. Let me know, and I will AUTO your character out of respect for everyone else.
- If you ghost/disappear and fail to respond to my messages or communicate with me, I will auto your character for TWO WEEKS in case you return. However, past that time, I will either find a way to dismiss your character or kill them off. Please know that I will not exercise this point on a whim. I'm trying to balance both individual and group interest.
- I will modify these as needed, and I will COMMUNICATE changes with you. Again, I am open to discussion. Please let me know if you have any concerns, and let's have fun!
Hello everyone!
Welcome to the Mass Effect Andromeda - Retaliation roleplay interest check. Since MEA is not being continued, I thought why not write a fan fiction or create a roleplay to fill the void? So here’s an interest check to see if anyone would like to join me on this adventure. I figured it’d be good to see if there’s any interest before starting an OOC, CS, Discord, or a IC thread (the roleplay will be conducted on the site. Discord is an option for OOC only, if folks are interested!)
Anyway, if you’re interested or have any questions about this roleplay, just post it here. This will be a linear roleplay (in that, we’ll follow specific story points; however, I’ve planned for character autonomy and shared decision making in between these story points) with a heavy emphasis on character development and such. At the end of the day, this should be a fun experience as opposed to feeling like work (that would suck :[ ).
I’d like to aim for 5-7 other individuals who’d be interested before starting things up. Given the perspective we’d be writing from, it doesn’t make sense for a Pinnacle cell to be large. I haven’t decided how to deal with character selection if interest exceeds 5-7 individuals. I’ll cross that bridge when it comes I suppose!
Anyways, that’s all I have for now! Ask questions, suggest, or throw in your interest. If you’d be so inclined!
