Mass Effect au where instead of the Starchild, Shepard finally gets indoctrinated by the Reapers at the very end and you have to play as the squadmate with highest relationship points or their LI to stop them.
If your ems is high enough, you can break through the indoctrination and bring Shepard back to stop the cycle.

Serrice, Armali, Usaru, Ulee, and New Arara (arbitrarily changed to Alara since it rolls off the tongue better) are all locations mentioned in the game and on CDN. The Southern Republics is another region on Thessia that I’m worldbuilding.
Benezia in the last image has tattoos based on her concept art. Nef (purple asari) belongs to me. Apparently Aethyta dislikes having deal with smalltalk in galas so she’s the backup.

Thanks to the fantastic @skyllianhamster we get to meet Thaia’s fam! Her father, mother, and three sisters.
First up, Thaia, the character most people are familiar with:
Full Name: Althaia Kallistrate
Other Names: Dash (callsign), Waterbug, Karyote
Born: 1882 CE, Kunoura, Republic of Armali, Thessia
Occupation: commando, shipwright, astrophysicist
Distinguishing Features: partial set of white commando tattoos around her eyes, small scar on her crest line from head butting a bully as a child, notch scar on her left jaw from falling on a rock, matching scars below her ribcage and on her back from metal debris
Personality: Thaia is the youngest of four, an unabashed flirt, swears a lot, and gregarious. She does have somewhat of a temper, but she’s usually good at keeping control of it, save for a few extenuating circumstances. She also has a not-so-hidden tendency to turn into a six-two ball of anxiety when people she loves are in danger.
POV: you are an asari child gathering eggs for next week’s dinner
More Thessian fauna, this time with the *gurpopatos. Looks menacing but can only chase for short distances on land (with biotics) before flopping around. A good source of rich fatty meat for asari living in the polar regions, with eggs that are tasty too.
(Based on the original sketch I did while the server was brainstorming, which is hilariously a lot funnier looking than what I imagined)
*edit: reposted; I have been advised by folks on the server that the original name I created for this critter contained a slur that I didn’t know about, so the name has been changed.
painting practice because something something new year’s resolution
special thanks to @rackofages for brainstorming the blurb pun and especially for making my made-up asari alphabet glyphs into a font so I don’t have to suffer through my own handwriting
