Aphin Protretho (The Sarcastic Salarian)

A middle-aged salarian who's lived most of his life behind a badge or a rank, Aphin is an atypical salarian with a combat resume as long as your arm. Despite his skills and experience, he nonetheless seems to get (unwillingly) drawn into one dangerous or hilarious situation after another. Aphin is a former STG infiltrator, C-SEC officer and Troubleshooter, and has (very) recently retired, working now as a barkeep at the aptly-named "Aphin's Place" on the Citadel.

  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's a clutz, and generally a nice guy, but ask Goph what happens if you piss him off.

  • Butt Monkey: Attempted muggings, a failing relationship, slipping into depression, and feels no one really cares about him.

  • Genius Ditz: Really quite smart when he wants to be, but this tends to be offset by his general goofiness and innocence.
  • Hot-Blooded
  • Ho Yay: Most everyone via Accidental Innuendo.
  • Literal-Minded
  • Nice Guy: Honestly does try to be the nicest person he can be to his friends. This has taken a toll on him emotionally, however.

  • The Movie Buff: Owns every single Dirk Black movie ever made. Along with about threee hundred and fifty movies of dubious quality.
  • Took a Level In Badass
  • Unfortunate Names: His ship is called the Luvshakh. Think on that for a moment.

Irene Anna Taylor (Irene T 8765309)

A normal Teenage girl that just moved to the Citadel, and that's pretty much it. Her father is a financial consultant, but he also is an information broker on the side, although she's ignorant of this.

Alex Parker (Alex the Supercop)

A 21-year-old man from Earth that gave up a future career in the police force to come live with his family on the Citadel. Dreams of joining C-Sec to continue his career in law enforcement. Near-incapable of being serious, yet nothing is more dear to him than his sister. Heaven help you if you touch her.

Alex: You know, I think you won the lottery, boyo. Sure wish I had biotics right now. Might help with a couple of things. Am I annoying you? Might be the blood loss. Just a possibility. I am just bleeding everywhere... Could someone get me a towel?

Alex: What about the time I took down a mercenary company with a single C-Sec armed response team, maps covering the Citadel wards, a pot of coffee, twelve doughnuts and a fez?

  • Dark Is Not Evil: Neil likes wearing black. Is there a problem with that?
  • Hallucinations: Neil has been diagnosed with paraphrenia which is exasperated if he drinks, in which case he sees dead people. (Along with people he had connections with in the past and present.)
  • I Know Karate: Neil has been training in martial arts since he was a child. Specifically self-defense classes. He used what he learned to fend off against a beserking turian serial killer. It served him well.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: When cultists attacked his little sister, he didn't just find the men who hurt her. He systematically dismantled the cult and forced a confession out of the cult leader.

A twenty-odd year old Drell, Sanjin became an air traffic controller after being rejected for the compact. She attempted to join a independent drell colony but was forced to return to the Citadel-with a thirteen year old orphan in tow. Generally outgoing, but reluctant so show weakness, even in her closest relationships.


Kira Aganorisis

A nine year old salarian attending a college on the Citadel's outer Kithoi ward, he is currently studying to become a history major.

  • Apologises a Lot: His highly critical view of his own work leads this to often occur alongside It's All My Fault.
  • Asexuality: Naturally for a salarian, save for the asari, something that disturbs him. He tries to suppress this as much as possible.
  • The Gadfly: Sometimes tries to be the Socratic flavor in debates when bored, but often just ends up making arguments for inherently ridiculous ideas for the hell of it.
  • Ditzy Genius
  • Muggles: Compared to a good number of the board's other members.
  • Nakama: Considers his close friends this, and his desire for this is one of the integral aspects of his personality.
  • Neutral Good
  • Omniglot: Kira's familiarity with different languages required for his work sometimes leads others to see him as this.
  • Renaissance Man: Kira has a wide range of interests, though he would claim that he's not very proficient in any of them.
  • Terse Talker: Kira's writing style is this, but his actual speech is more fluid.
  • We Are as Mayflies: Again, naturally for a salarian. The prospect of this scares him at times.

After putting her time as a merc and a tech expert behind her, Salandria now resides on the Citadel, running a small antiques shop which is a front for a respectable information buying-and-selling business.

Joel Newman

A human film director taking up residence within the Citadel's Kithoi Ward.

Aaron Wilts (Human C-Sec Officer)

A human, originally from Earth, who came to the Citadel for a vacation. After meeting an upper-ranked officer in C-Sec and having a few drinks he decided to remain on the station and become an officer of the law. Currently living by himself in Tayseri Ward.

  • Author Avatar: Aaron shares not only some of the same beliefs, preferences and hobbies as his player, but even bears a passing resmemblance and shares the same name! However, this is because the player originally belonged to another Mass Effect roleplaying group, where he essentially "played himself" (as his own character). When Aaron (the player) found the CDN, he decided to use Aaron (the character) as the character didn't conflict with any parts of established canon in any way. Aware of the risks of the character becoming a Mary Sue or a mouthpiece, the player takes special care to seperate himself from his character.
  • Always Second Best: Played semi-straight; Aaron perceives himself as second best in comparison to his fellow officers, which is technically true. However, this has developed into something resembling an inferiority complex, wherein, in order to compensate for his perceived "weakness" he works himself longer, and harder, than his comrades. This is often to the detriment of his physical and mental health.
  • Badass Normal: Came into C-Sec with just a college degree and an extremely basic understanding of the use of pistols. After a grueling series of months in the Academy and over a year or so of work as an officer, he is now a competant and reliable cop.
  • By-The-Book Cop: He follows former Executor Pallin's example of maintaining an adherence to the letter (and spirit) of the law.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: Aaron doesn't hide the fact that he's attracted to (older) men, and turians in-particular, but doesn't flaunt it either. His flirtations usually remain tactful and he prefers to be friends first. Still, he doesn't mind the occasional bit of eye-candy and oogling, when he can get away with it.
  • Interspecies Romance: Was dating Davril. A discussion regarding their relationship resulted in a mutual break-up which Aaron refuses to go into detail to, even if pressed. Currently has a profile site up. Got a hit from a Krogan, which didn't pan out. Is still on the open market at the moment though his interesting is passing at best.
  • Jack of All Trades: Has a fairly decent set of skills as an officer: marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and some minor expertise with electronics and hacking. While not as skilled as any of the more seasoned or experienced officers, his well-roundness earns him respect in the office. Sadly, this does little to take away from his feelings of inferiority
  • Lawful Good
  • Nice Guy
  • Ridiculously Average Guy: Compared to a fair bit of the cast, Aaron is remarkably average in almost every way. Even his childhood is average. Of course, he's aware of this and takes full advantage of it, especially when working in the field. Was also designed this way by the player to alleviate some of the Author Avatar status.
  • Took a Level In Badass: Aaron's progression from ordinary human to C-Sec officer can basically be described as this.

David Lawrence (Meshakhad)

A human marine-turned-CSEC. Lives and works in the Zakera Ward.

Emon Spiza

Very neurotic salarian engineer. Lived on Illium for three years as an indentured servant before transferring over to the Citadel's Kithoi Ward. Currently works as a technician and secretary for the equally odd raloi Grackel.

  • Amusing Alien
  • Back Stab: Proceeds to do this to Asharia at the GWO Ball, while under the possession of an Overmind from the Who Goes There story arc. It doesn't end well for him.
  • Body Horror: Becomes one during Who Goes There, Chapter 3. He got better.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Cosmic Plaything: Exacerbated by his being able to hear the Lemony Narrator.
  • Character Tic: Half of his mouth is perpetually contorted into a pseudo-smile; it often begins twitching when he's under stress.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
  • Gadgeteer Genius
  • Made An Indentured Servant
  • Momma's Boy: To the point that his Inner Child, "The Spizzlet," takes over when in close proximity to her.
  • No Fourth Wall: To the point where Spiza actually manages to break the monitor with one of the forum's Quote boxes.
  • Noodle Incident: How he became an indentured servant, though he has made passing remarks about "a meal that changed his life".
  • Ridiculously Successful Future Self: In an Elseworlds thread, he's finally made it big as a movie star after turning his misadventures into television gold. Too bad it ends in death by piano.
  • Strange Syntax Speaker: Dropped articles, possessives, prepositions, conjunctions in speech frequently. Lampshaded constantly, and abandoned after his involvement in the Who Goes There story arc. It's Handwaved as a translation issue.
  • True Neutral: He just wants to be left alone, in a cozy job that uses his expertise. Instead, he's a perpetually-unemployed, temp-seeking momma's boy.
  • Wham Line

The Overmind: We shall be controlling the narrative now, we think.

Goph (Just An Author)

A salarian childrens' author, his books have been cherished by children galaxy-wide. Good qualities aside, Goph is a cynical, clinically depressed and otherwise jerkish person. Suicidal to an almost comical level, his attempts to end it all never seem to work.

Kyr (Kyman201)

An elcor ex-mercenary and former soldier. Has recently joined up with C-Sec

  • Badass: He took on a krogan battlemaster, and won.
    • In addition to that 'got into a fistfight with a krogan battlemaster' thing, he accentuated his punches with blasts from gauntlet-mounted shotguns.
  • Berserk Button: Despite being rather even-tempered, Kyr seems to get annoyed when things go poorly, and when people mess with his guns. Not so much due to personal attachment, but because recalibration and repair can be tough.
  • Big Freaking Gun: He's mentioned with pride that one of his favorite weapons is a scavanged forward cannon from a turian fighter.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: Kyr, to date, has been a part of three minor plotlines that have involved combat. And every single one has involved him punching a krogan.
  • Mighty Glacier: He's an elcor. It comes with the territory.
  • Nice Guy: He may be able to break you in half with a gesture, but he's a laid back and relaxed sort out of combat.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Despite being able to fight off a krogan battlemaster, Kyr has mentioned that he collects plushies.
  • Remember When You Took On A Krogan Battlemaster?: Even joining C-Sec hasn't let this event fade, as apparently some of the other officers heard about it, and one asked Kyr point-blank about it.
  • That Makes Me Feel Angry
  • The Big Guy: Class 2. A generally friendly guy, but he IS a cop

Lokkor (LKOR)

An elcor...disc jockey. Has a predilection for electronica until his attempted assassination, after which he turns to black metal.

A thirteen-year-old human duct rat. Also a biotic.

Sicues Nyenax

Mekan (Depressed Batarian)

An extremely friendly and nerdy batarian hacker who was raised on Omega, and has since moved to the Citadel. He runs a one-man cybersecurity business out of his home on the Citadel but occasionally abandons the business to go on wacky and/or awesome adventures.

  • Action Survivor: He's not trained in combat, and as of the time of this writing, has survived two major combat situations where he contributed to the team's overall victory.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Despite being friendly and generally non-prejudiced, he has a breaking point. When you reach it, you'll know.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: This is his primary reason for ever getting involved in something related to being shot at, or shooting at people. Plus, he's just so gosh-darn helpful in normal situations.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: He tackled and temporarily pinned a teammate that was possessed and strength-boosted by an Eldritch Abomination after nearly getting shot to death. His opponent had managed to resist a krogan's efforts to disarm him just moments beforehand.
  • Heroic BSOD: Had a pretty serious one following Operation Down With Discord. He was never psychologically prepared for combat, but participated in the assault on Discord's base anyway.
  • Large Ham: When Mekan was fighting on the Pequod in the endgame of Who Goes There 2, he had some pretty serious emotional reactions to the fighting. This manifested as Mekan breaking out the ham. He attributes this to adrenaline rushes in combat.
  • Made of Iron: During the boarding action on the Pequod at the end of Who Goes There 2, he manages to get near-fatally shot and then almost crushed to death on top of that by the local cosmic horror. He keeps going for the rest of the mission, only realizing he'd been shot by the time the boarding party's gotten away from danger.
  • No Last Name Given: He's never mentioned his last name for some reason.
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Mekan hates the batarian trade and tradition of slavery. He happens to be batarian.
  • Non-Action Guy: Started out as this, but has grown to be prefer being on crazy adventures.
  • Playful Hacker: Mekan generally doesn't go out of his way to cause real damage or harm with his hacking talents, unless someone really pisses him off.
  • Sitcom Arch Nemesis: Has possibly acquired one in the form of the Volus hacker Terrorbyte.
  • The Engineer: Takes on this role during combat.
  • Took a Level In Badass: With the conclusion of Who Goes There 2, he's shown he can be pretty badass.

Halley Lacaille (Celestial Palette)

A 27-year-old human biotic artist/bartender who recently moved to the Citadel from Amaterasu.

Kolya Wright (Human Quarian)

A 'culturally confused' twenty year old human who grew up on the Citadel and has now returned after spending two years travelling around human colonies in a effort to get to know his species better.

  • Gene Hunting: Subverted in that while he's currently trying to track down his Missing Mom, he isn't hoping for a family reunion and just wants to know why she sent him away when he was six.
  • Had Two Daddies: Technically it was more like 'one daddy and one uncle and it was only for four years of his life, but it still counts.
  • Interspecies Adoption: His uncle may not have offically adopted him but to all intents and purposes it still qualifies.
  • Mr. Fixit : His uncle was a quarian. Said quarian regarded the ability to repair pretty much anything as a life essential and ensured that Kolya had it.
  • Pardon My Quarian: He was mostly raised by his father's quarian flatmate. This has had a number of effects, the most obvious one being that the words 'bosh'tet' and 'keelah' have become permenantly embeded in his vocabulary.
  • Parental Abandonment: His mother handed him over to his dad when he was six and he hasn't heard from her since then. His dad went off to play merc when he was ten and never came back. Thankfully he had an Honorary Uncle to act as a Parental Substitute.
  • The Nondescript: Is actually described as such, a fact which he's used to his advantage at least once.

Vohkaidin Knox (Vohkaidin)

A former human slave that has started a new life on the Citadel. After being liberated by a turian assault squad, he spent nearly four years in an Alliance ward, being educated and otherwise prepared for the galaxy at large. He's out now, taking one step at a time in the greater universe.

  • Badass: Proved to be this in WGT 2, where he killed a group of Qoro Q infested quarian infants trying to kill Aphin Protretho with his bare hands. Unfortunetly, this lead to him being Demonically Possessed ...
  • Black Eyes: Along with his scars, they make him look rather intense.
  • Berserk Button: Slavery, and and slavers in general. Also, don't threaten Helena Mathioudakis, or anyone else he cares about.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Vohkaidin's a very friendly guy, but he's had some minor training in self defense, and when he's in a dangerous situation, he's proven he can be lethal.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: His past as a slave clearly. Recently, he's revealed a bit more of his time in bondage. Up until he was fourteen, he lived on Camala, one of the industrialized batarian colonies. Then he spent six years on Logasiri, a world with the highest known death toll for slaves in the Hegemony, to the point that one of overlords there used the burned up remains of several hundred slaves as compost for his private gardens. Vohkaidin does not like to speak of his time there.
  • Dead Guy, Junior: A sort of self-inflicted version of the trope. He didn't have a name prior to being liberated (he found out his surname via a gene scan) and later named himself 'Vohkaidin' in honour of a turian who'd been part of the assult squad and befriended him, only to die when the Citadel was attacked.
  • Demonically Possessed: Was briefly infected by QoroQ during the endgame of WGT 2. During this, he exhibited superhuman strength, and managed to physically send a batarian, human, and krogan, all in hardsuits, flying off of him. He was able to briefly break the possession when Helena Mathioudakis, his lover, broke through QoroQ's domination. This gave the others the opportunity to inject the vaccine.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: He bears a distincive group of scars running across his right eye. Has yet to reveal how he recieved them, except that it was during his time on Logasiri.
  • Missing Mom: Was taken from his mother and sold when he was two. He hasn't seen her since but he still wonders about her.
  • Neutral Good: Help C-Sec stop a terrorist attack? Yep. Help your girlfriend uncover a government conspiracy? Yeah, he qualifies for this trope.
  • Shoot the Dog: His Demonic Possession via QoroQ's infection gave him first hand knowledge of its plans to consume all organic life. So when its primary intelligence held a hundred quarian infants hostage to force the heroes to leave, he was the one who stepped up and said that allowing it to live would simply doom the galaxy to a worse fate. The children were killed as result. Vohkaidin himself believes he's a Complete Monster because of this, but saw no other way around the issue.

Sergeant Alexis Thorpe (Protect_and_Serve)

A C-SEC Special Response Unit officer (Think SWAT IN SPACE) who's based on Zakera Ward. She's a biotic and served a few tours in the Alliance Marine Corps, with the training and experience to match.

  • Badass Abnormal: She's just a biotic with Marine training, yet she pulped a terrorist's skull with her fist once.
  • Bi the Way: Is Happily Bonded to an asari named Leana who she met on the job for quite some time now, and isn't shy about her preferences either.

  • Fair Cop: She's no fashion model cum Supercop, but she's still got her lovely charms.
  • Humble Hero: Hilariously enough, she's incredibly shy when it comes to praise. It's not uncommon to hear her say "Think Nothing of It" when she's being praised.
  • Lawful Good: She joined C-Sec to protect and help the innocent, not that she's soft and indecisive about it either.
  • Police Are Useless: Takes steps to avoid this sort of thing, and considers it a Berserk Button when people imply it about C-SEC.
  • Semper Fi: She did Force Recon in the Alliance Marine Corps, and retains her healthy respect of the corps.
  • Sergeant Rock: She's tough as nails in a fight, but she genuinely cares for her comrades and civvies alike.
  • The Ladette: Partially Subverted, she's usually one of the guys but isn't part of the Real Women Never Wear Dresses crowd per say.

Juhani Alavirta (hammers-sickles)

Earthborn university student, who later moved onto Citadel after getting a job as paid intern at Systems Alliance embassy (and got fired from it after attempting a defection t othe Hierarchy). Likes aliens. A lot. Enough so to woo Veneta Ragum, turian Hot Librarian into a relationship and move in with her back to Hierarchy proper.

  • Anything That Moves: Slept with Thel'Adean once, as well as a turian and a krogan. (Long Story)
  • Bi the Way: His new girlfriend hasn't slowed down his adventures with krogan and turians at all. In fact, she encourages Juhani to do it!

  • The Reveal: He revealed his Soul Name to Allison Drew.

Recently moved to the Citadel to start her own transport business.

  • Action Girl: Is capable of holding her own in a fight, if the raid on Prometheus Pharma was any indication.
