See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna
We played our first session of Mass Effect last night. It was awkward. I’m contemplating exiting the game XD Which is sad considering I created two different characters (in FATE no less) plus art. But that was miserable session…
No estimates on porn....

We played our first session of Mass Effect last night. It was awkward. I’m contemplating exiting the game XD Which is sad considering I created two different characters (in FATE no less) plus art. But that was miserable session…

No estimates on porn. I feel like I’m forcing it and it isn’t fun anymore.

Massive backstory for thems that care below

Holt

Origins

Holt was born on Cyrene on 7 December 2164. He showed biotic potential at a young age. Because of that he trained at the Jon Grissom Academy. His mother Diana moved with him to Elysium while his his father Gary worked in the Systems Alliance fleet to support them.

Holt was accepted into the Ascension Project at the academy at the age of 13 and mentored by Dr. Jiro Toshiwa. His tuition was sponsored by the Seattle Sorcerers who scouted him earlier that year. Holt had began playing biotiball as a young student on the school team, Elysium Youth, and a year later he was a planetary cup finalist in 2178 and winner in 2179.

Professional Career

He made his professional debut on 26 April 2180. He made his league debut on 6 August 2180 as a substitute against the Serrice Suns where he goaded Durge into a throwing a penalty and shocked the galaxy with an incredible one-on-one goal. Durge has never forgiven the slight by some human juvenile.

Holt became a regular starter for the Seattle Sorcerers in 2182 and delivered fantastic results as a regular on the team. He quickly became one of biotiball’s great young talents and was the top scorer for the Sorcerer.

The Sorcerers went on to win three Series A league titles in a row from 2182 to 2185, one Galactic Cup, and two Coppa Asaria titles during Holt’s three pro years.

Military Service

A promotional game on Earth between the Washington Hackers and the Seattle Sorcerers was interrupted by the Reaper assault on Earth. Holt and his teammates mobilized to protect the audience. For a brief time they defended several safe-zones long enough to help evacuate non-combatants off world.

Holt signed up for military service with the Systems Alliance. Not wanting to squander positive media, his induction was heavily publicized and he was placed in a glam unit with no intention of deployment. He found himself drawn into action when he caught wind of a Cerberus ploy to co-opt the implants of other biotics on the Citadel.

Using the dirt Vala found on the Council, Holt blackmailed them into activating his unit for field duty. They would take an active role in many conflicts around the Sol system.

He encountered Vala again on board the Troves of Joy where Holt and his unit were cashing in on his fame for some R&R. Holt was happy to return a favor to a friend. His involvement helped her find a vital connection, but his recognizable face blew their cover. 

Spectre

The activation of the Catalyst threw the galaxy off balance. The blow was most heavily felt by humanity. By merit of simply not being on Earth and not being in the fleet active around the planet, Holt skyrocketed through the ranks.

Rather than let such a young officer into the higher command structure, the Systems Alliance and the new human Councillor Goyle push for the Council to make him a Spectre.

As the conflict between Geth and Suran goes from cold to hot, Holt undertakes an incredibly ill-advised mission to get citizens off the outpost at the center of the conflict. His ship is damaged while fleeing and drifts aimlessly in space for two weeks.

Private life and public image

A controversial and provocative figure in biotiball, he was known for his very physical and aggressive style of play as a defender, as well as tight markings and strong, harsh tackling, which lead him to receive more than 30 yellow cards, and 25 red cards throughout his career.

For every penalty he received Holt donated substantially to his favorite charity: a fund for victims of the First Contact War.

Was reputedly dating a member of the Usaru Maestros team, T’racha, for six months which the media hyper-analyzed during matches in where the two faced each other as opponents.

Following the disappearances of his home colony on Cyrene days after his first Series A cup, Holt made several statements accusing the Alliance Systems of betraying humanity by joining the galactic community and advocating Earth revoking its status as a Citadel species.

Holt again drew media attention when he replaced his L4 implant with a vintage L2. When asked about the decision in an interview he explained that it was a sign of solidarity with biotic veterans who had been misused and cast aside by the Alliance. He skirted the fact that the implant could potentially give him an edge in biotiball.

In March 2184, Holt became engaged to wed his partner, Syrina Cardassian. They split up a week later.

Holt no longer drinks alcohol.

An iconic video of Holt throwing children from the stadium seating in Washington towards evacuation transports and then catching them himself [biotic charge] proved that even in an age of war he could make headlines.

Aspects

Biotiball Superstar turned Spectre [High Concept]

Mr. Self-Destruct [Trouble]

Invoke: Ah the immortality of youth. Holt’s life shielded him from consequences. This enables him to indulge in actions that sane folk would avoid. He doesn’t have a death-wish; he just assume he won’t die.

Compel: Whether intentionally or not, Holt is drawn to impulsive extreme behaviors. “Get a vulgar volus word tattooed on your butt, snort that line of red sand, start a fight with those vorcha.”

Humanity First! [Racial Background]

Invoke: Humans are resourceful, resilient, and scrappy.

Compel: They’re also insular, slightly xenophobic, and prone to nepotism. They’re new guys on the galactic scene, and everyone perceives them as too big for their britches. Now that the Earth has been taken down a peg, those britches seem to fit even worse. Britches.

Another Red Card (ie, Foul)

Invoke: Holt is a bit of a bad boy. Trashing hotel rooms, rejecting orders, circumventing bureaucracy, indulging in illicit activities, and waking up with unexpected tattoos. He fights dirty. He’s kind of famous for it.

Compel: Ditto.

Bonsai Tree Gardener

Vintage L2 Implant

Invoke: The L2 implant allows for overpowered spikes of biotic power. It also is synonymous with early biotic veterans - many of whom opted to have their’s removed. 

Compel: Unfortunately, the L2 is notorious for causing severe medical complications such as insanity, mental disability, and crippling pain. But I’m sure that will be fine.

Educated at Grissom Academy

Invoke: “Jon Grissom Academy serve a student population demonstrating excellence and passion for math, science, and the liberal arts.” It’s also the Alliance’s premier school for young human biotics.

Can’t Say No To A Pretty Face (Asari Hookers)

Media Darling (Adventure 2)

Invoke: Holt is very photogenic. He’s savvy to using media coverage to further his agenda.

Compel: Everyone’s got a camera and many of them have sex tapes of Holt. He’s a B-list celebrity, so folks to recognize him on the street (And then want to pose for selfies with him).
