My first fanfic. I'm very nervous about this and excited also but mostly nervous. Be easy on me on the review I'm very bad at grammars and I don't have any confidence with it. I mostly use the dialogue in the game on this chapter but don't worry the next chapters will have only the iconic dialogue and dialogues that are needed in the story, I think.
Prologue:
Well, what about Shepard?
Which one? John or Jane?
Hmm… What are their backgrounds?
John grew up in the colonies. He knows how tough life can be out there. His family were killed when slavers attacked Mindoir. While Jane also grew up with John in the colonies but due to her parents being in the navy, she moved away before the attack in Mindoir. Military service runs in her family and due to being close with the Shepards, John is adopted by Jane's parents.
Both of them have great military records.
They both proved themselves as a team during the Blitz. Both of them manage to hold off enemy forces until reinforcements arrived. They're the only reason Elysium is still standing. We can't question their courage.
John's psych profile may be a problem.
John saw his whole unit die on Akuze. He also participated on Torfan with Jane but due to John's attitude to get the job done he got most of his unit killed while Jane tried to save rest of the unit. His actions tend to get most of his unit killed, he could have some serious emotional scars.
Every soldier has scars. John is a survivor and we need that kind of attitude.
While Jane has no problem with her Psych profile, her lack of "scars" may show her inexperience when scars began to show.
Jane is a soldier by blood and we need her ability to do what is right. Humanity needs a hero. And Jane is the best we've got.
What about both of them? Together?
Are they the kind of persons we want protecting the galaxy?
They're the only kind of persons who can protect the galaxy. "As individuals they're both dangerous but together their unstoppable".
I'll make the call.
In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time.
They called it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of the galaxy called it… MASS EFFECT.
A/N - Well there's the prologue.
