Focus: Games » Mass Effect, Since: 11-11-10
The community for stories focusing on original characters in the Mass Effect universe, or for stories focusing on minor characters (i.e., Admiral Hackett, Captain Bailey, Haron, Balak, Anaya, Conrad Verner, etc.). Must have little to no cameos from the main cast, little to nothing of Commander Shepard, and must not be a self-insert. All ratings considered. See NaturalBornParagon's profile for more details. |
