Forum:Create your own squadmate

Hey, everybody! This is my first ever forum topic so I figured I'd ask a question that I thought might be cool to consider. If you could be a squadmate for Commander Shepard, who would you be? What species and class? What would be your backstory? What makes you unique? What is your personality? What is your loyalty mission? I'll start to help you all along. Please refrain from bashing other peoples' ideas. Thanks.

My character would be a human mercenary/bounty hunter named Marcus Sarroni. He is a soldier class. He values honor and justice above all else. He tends to be serious while on the job, but he will crack a joke or a one-liner every now and then and he is curious about other species' cultures, which he studies in his spare time (which isn't often). He was born of a alliance soldier and his wife, who died in childbirth. Since he was old enough to hold a gun properly, his father told him how to fight. By the time he was fourteen he was a master in hand-to-hand combat, assault rifles, shotguns, and hand guns. He was five years old when his father remarried to an asari. She home-schooled him, feeling she needed to earn trust he already gave her. He never felt she was an intruder, despite the looks and comments people would make about the match, which even at that young age he understood. At seven, his sister, Liandra, was born. When she was older, kids would pick on her because she was asari and Marcus, who had never before fought other people before, began to fight constantly to protect his sister. When they were old enough to leave their home, Marcus left to become a bounty hunter, knowing that his sister would be able to handle herself since she recently got her biotics. He remembers the values that his father and step-mother instilled in him and only goes after criminals. He does a lot of research both on his target and his employer to make certain he is not being led astray, like one time a gang leader tried to hire him in order to kill a witness with evidence against him (the leader), a witness that the leader said was a murderer. Instead, Marcus found out the truth and killed all of his men and delivered the leader to the authorities, with a bullet in each kneecap and his shooting hand. He would be found by Shepard on a supposedly uninhabited planet that the Eclipse are using as a base of operations. With Shepard's help, he finishes his mission by completely wiping out the gang members and blowing up the base. He then joins his crew. On the ship, he is friendly with many of the ship's crew, he comes to respect Garrus as a brother-in-arms more than anyone else due to their parallel career choice, he's on friendly terms with Legion and attempting to teach him ways to "loosen up" that might make people more comfortable around him, like teaching him to use slang (which he never gets used to) and how to dance, even Jack finds him "alright for glorified cop." He doesn't trust Zaeed, however, believing that he would still be with that "band of murderers" if he hadn't been betrayed first. His loyalty mission will start when he receives a message from his sister. Leandra, who over the years has become somewhat of a wild child and now works as a stripper in a club on the Citadel, has asked him come and see her, saying that she doesn't feel safe saying much more. When Shepard and Marcus arrive, she explains that the club was recently brought under new management and that a lot of the dancers have, one-by-one, been sent to the new owner's office and those same girls started showing symptoms of Red Sand, which Leandra knows they never took before. When they confront the new manager, they are surrounded by Blue Suns. They defeat the guards and the owner tells them where the supply is. Then, Shepard can either leave him for the authorities or kill him. They then go to the warehouse and kill the Blue Sons there. When they get back to the club, Shepard can decide to give the deed he took from the owner (dead or alive) and make either Leandra (Paragon) or himself (Renegade) the new owner. Marcus then thanks the Commander no matter his choice because he knows Leandra will be better off than she was before.TheSavage 21:38, April 21, 2011 (UTC)TheSavageTheSavage 21:38, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
