Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega



| |

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Reapers are dead. We’ve won the war. The galaxy is safe again.

This is what victory looks like.

Half of humanity is dead. Earth and Thessia lie in ruins, and Palaven isn’t much better. The Citadel is a heap of scrap metal barely maintaining orbit. The geth collapsed when the Reapers did, and the krogans are breeding out of control. Commander Shepard is dead.

We’ve lost so much.

On Omega, it doesn’t matter. You lose only what you aren’t strong enough to hold or rich enough to buy, and there are entire worlds for sale. It’s a land of opportunity, where no one looks too hard at where you came from or what you lost -- or what you’ve gained.

It’s the perfect place to start over.

On Omega, merchants traffic in weaponry and drugs, delicacies and slaves and everything in between. Dancers and musicians and actors make a name for themselves in front of the hardest-to-please crowds in the galaxy. Refugees huddle in the depths of Fumi District, desperate for any job that will give them the credits to climb higher. Quiet groups of researchers explore technology and medicine of questionable legal and ethical status. A cell of displaced quarians and allies seek to right a great wrong. Mercenaries vie for power in the space left by the collapse of two of the most notorious organizations to roam the galaxy.

And everyone is careful to never, ever **** with Aria.

Opportunity is waiting; Alpha Phoenix is hiring.

Are you ready to join?

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega

This is a really great theme for a mud.

The Mass Effect world has a great backstory.

Best of luck with this!

Thanks! We opened about two weeks ago and have been very pleased with the response so far. Very excited to see where story takes us in the next few months!

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega




Refugees are packed into the space station’s lower districts like sardines, and shortages make important imports like coffee obscenely expensive, but there’s always work to be done, and there’s always someone hiring.

For Alpha Phoenix, life is good. The new mercenary company survived its first scuffle with a rival and gained no small amount of notoriety when it delivered the turian head of Chimaera to Aria T’Loak herself. Recruitment is high and the jobs are rolling in - even if their last did end in a surprise encounter with a yahg. They’ve gained a ship, expanded their space, and are even building a clinic complete with quarian clean-room.

What could possibly go wrong?

Not everyone is pleased with Alpha Phoenix’s expanding power. There are other fledgling groups looking to make a name for themselves, and the fact that certain members of Alpha Phoenix seem inclined to stir up trouble with local slavers has fueled the fire of discontent. It doesn’t help that they’re run by a human - one of those upstart, greedy newcomers to the galactic stage who think they know everything.

They aren’t going to let Alpha Phoenix have Kenzo District - and Aria’s favor - without a fight. Nothing is ever that easy.

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega

I didn't look too deeply on the site but I did search for it and I didn't find anything showing permission from the IP holders (bioware?) about you guys being able to do a Mass Effect mud. Any word on this?

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega

Sorry for the late reply. We don't have official permission from Bioware. It is our belief that most RP, including the RP that we do, is quite legal without it under fair use for a number of reasons, the most compelling of which is its transformative nature.

Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega is set in the Mass Effect universe a year after the end of the Reaper War. The Reapers were destroyed, and the galaxy is slowly rebuilding. A growing mercenary group called Alpha Phoenix finds itself ever-more-involved in galactic events beyond their home turf of Omega, leading many of them to wonder just what they've gotten themselves into.

Here's what we're like:


Roleplay-only gaming: our emphasis is on story and character, and all code supports those ends. We have no levels, no stats, and no classes, which means no grinding, saving, or earning XP to play the awesome character you imagine!

Stellar writing quality: no, really. We've got some amazing writers who create dynamic, fascinating characters through RP and other IC writing.

Diverse characters: the Mass Effect setting gives us a dozen playable species and over fifty combat powers - no two characters look alike! Sound daunting? No worries - play something familiar, like a human who shoots guns, or ask staff to walk you through a concept to end up with something that fits you!

Staff-run plot plot arcs combined with player-run plots: we have several ongoing story arcs that are starting to really pick up steam, including recurring villains and galactic mysteries. We also encourage players to fill in the downtime with adventures ranging from wild skycar chases on Illium to killing pirates on Invictus to dealing with a fuel shortage (and the subsequent cold) on the home turf of Omega. There's always something to RP about.

Tight setting, open world: we tie all our characters together through a common setting, but they exist in a wide-open galaxy, and we take full advantage of this! Plots can take us to space stations, secret labs, frozen planets or planets overtaken by vicious wildlife, the lights of the big city or the abandoned stretch of once-great ruins. It means that there's always an excuse to RP together - and never a chance of getting bored with where you are.

Small, but active and friendly community: there's almost always someone on to chat with, with RP happening through the day (though it's heaviest in the US evenings). RP is a constant, but we also like to chatter about the newest Marvel movie or what video games we're playing lately - and specific channels for each means you only get the chatter you're interested in!

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega

We've just wrapped our first big story arc, which ran about nine months in the making, and it was glorious. Now we're settling in for a summer filled with player-run-plots and thinking about what comes next - it's a great time to hop on board!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a tough year and a half for Alpha Phoenix. One of Omega's newest mercenary companies, they've seen combat well above their paygrade for months now. They've brushed elbows with Spectres, saved the Citadel from a newly-wakened VI, had Prothean tech invade their dreams, and found themselves missing months of memories after running a job for a Shadow Broker agent.

And they've been beaten and broken by yahg. We can't forget the yahg, who keep appearing even now that the Alphas have managed to kill the rogue STG agent who seemed to be attempting to learn to indoctrinate them. Now it looks like he was a part of something much larger, something known as SKY - and it looks like he was successful.

Now the Alphas are starting to question everything. If they're caught in a web of dangerous people and half-known truths, who's sitting at the center of it? And how does their taciturn boss, turian Verus Augur, fit in?

They're about to find out.

"It has suited my purposes to appear as an ordinary mercenary group," Verus says very mildly. "Indeed, it has suited both of your own purposes to appear as an ordinary mercenary group. Mercenaries are disposable. Mercenaries disappear."

Verus smiles, the pull of his mandibles wide with a brief flash of pointed teeth. He emerges from behind the desk in fluid strides of sartorial excellence, and comes around to the other side to lean against the front of his desk, boots angled wide as he settles himself with a particularly casual air against its edge.

"You are my stakes, and as you have been investigating SKY, you also know that the galaxy will suffer if I lose. Being mercenaries has guarded you from more than you know. It may have outlived some of its usefulness with respect to SKY. But the information you are asking for is not a door you can close, once opened. Are you sure you want it?"

Sound interesting? Stop by Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega today to join up. The galaxy's secrets are waiting.

Re: Mass Effect: Alpha & Omega

--------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been two years since the Reaper War ended. The galaxy has changed.

Omega, once the edge of uncivilized space, has become an economic powerhouse in the wake of the Reapers' destruction. Council space is slowly rebuilding. The volus have joined the Council, the krogan have gained a planet, and the Citadel is in ongoing repairs.

And there are AI in the galaxy again.

EDI and the geth are dead and gone, but in the two years since the war's end, others have appeared. One, Sai, even has many of EDI's memories. She and Jeff Moreau have become a public spectacle since they announced her creation and took off on a galactic public relations tour.

But what tolerance existed for an almost-war-hero has fractured since Sai made a public slip suggesting that she's not the only AI in the universe. She's been forced to call in a favor from Aria t'Loak, who has declared Omega a safe haven for Artificial Intelligences - so long as they behave themselves.

Now the few AI in the galaxy are flocking to Omega, and most of them are converging on Alpha Phoenix, the mercenary group that birthed this new strain of AI in a quarian programmer's quest to preserve some sort of legacy in honor of the fallen geth. They come seeking refuge, and a connection to those they consider the creators of their race. Most of Alpha Phoenix seems ready to welcome them with open arms.

As if finding themselves on the Shadow Broker's payroll hunting a secret organization intent on controlling and manipulating yagh for unknown purposes isn't complicated enough.
