END OF THE FIRST ARC

  Okay, with Samael leaving Earth, we are officially ending the first small arc of the fanfic. The next 30 or so chapters will pave the way toward the first game, with Samael traveling across the gaxy to meet his family and loved ones.

  Well, with that out of the way, I wanted to say a few things and expin a few others.

  First things first, if you're reading the FIC, you probably pyed the games or in some way or another, know about the Mass Effect franchise.

  But, if you don't, there might be some terms and nuances about that universe that you might not know about, hell, even I who pyed the games so many times, might not know or remember a few details.

  So, because I don't want to fill the future chapters with too much information about things unreted to the plot, I decided to put those things in this chapter, to expin and try to show what they are. With that out of the way...

  The Asari:

  Blue-skinned alien, for pretty much everyone who knows the game, is the known race when speaking about Mass Effect. They are the most powerful species in their cycle.

  Can meld, a process where the Asari and their partner connect on an almost spiritual level, through their nervous system, allowing the Asaria to map the genome of their partner, to have kids if they want. It's an all-female race, so they could only use the meld to reproduce.

  Also, allows them to feel the feelings, and see the memories of their partners.

  All Asari are biotic since birth, but some of them choose not to develop those powers.

  Could live up to 1000 + years.

  Krogan:

  A species focused on war/battle. Also is the meat shield of the gaxy, so much so that when there's a problem the Council cannot handle, like the Rachini, the Krogan are enlisted to fight.

  But, as they were made for war, they grew ambitious and powerful enough that it made the Council act. They used their intelligence and made something that made all Krogan unable to have children.

  They called it the Genophage.

  Stronger than most races, can bend steel with bare hands.

  Most of them are living in Tuchanka, the homeworld of the species, or working as a mercenary.

  Can live up to 500+ years;

  Turians:

  Also known as the sword and shield of the Council, this race is known for its tactical and military powers. They come close second in regarding fighting powers, losing only to the Krogans.

  Also known for their militarist and disciplined culture.

  Thye look a little like a mixture of a bird and a human.

  They have a cloaca ( I find this very funny tbh, so I will probably write about this in the upcoming chapters, where the turians were introduced)

  Can live up to 200+ years;

  Reapers:

  The main vilin of the Mass Effect trilogy.

  They are a race made of killing machines, that exterminate all intelligent life in the gaxy every 50.000, for unknown reasons.

  Are kilometers long and very difficult to kill.

  Can sve other species in a process called indoctrination, making the others do their bind. A single scrap of their 'flesh' can cause huge damage to society, so it's advised to completely destroy all remains of a Reaper.

  Also, can transform species into something called Husks, which are their ground troops.

  Essentially, using the Husks, they use the popution of the gaxy to fight the popution of the gaxy, all while waiting for the right time to exterminate all intelligent life.

  Can be cunning and are very dangerous.

  Doesn't have a lifespan, but can be killed.

  Sarians:

  The brain of the council and probably the most intelligent species on this cycle.

  Very intelligent race, also responsible for creating the virus that made Krogan unable to have children,

  Can also be very sketchy if necessary and are very scheming by nature.

  Don't live long, 40 years at most.

  Protheans:

  Masters of the st cycle, were exterminated by the Reapers after a century-long war.

  Also view everyone in this cycle as primitive, as in their time, most species are at the beginning of development.

  The Protheans are the reason the Asari became the master of the actual cycle, as they had chosen the blue-skinned alien as the master of the future cycle.

  Very good fighters, managing to st decades fighting the Reapers.

  Can live up to 100+ years.

  Quarians:

  A species that made an AI, which turned out to be extremely intelligent.

  That made the quarians act out in fear, resulting in them being thrown out of their pnets by the AI ( the Geth) and forcing them to survive in the Migrant Fleet, a huge spaceship housing millions of quarians.

  The quarians , with no pnet to return to, now wander the gaxy, waiting for a chance to strike the Geth down and recover their lives.

  Don't have much respect from the gaxy, who view them as a scavenger at best and a worst, creators of the Geth, which had become a problem to the gaxy.

  Can't live outside their suits, but our MC is going to take care of that.

  Can live up to 100+ years, but that number is normally way shorter, as they don't really have a good immunity system.

  Clusters:

  Clusters are rge areas within the Gaxy, that contain one or more star systems.

  There are a lot of clusters in the gaxy, but I won't be mentioning them that much. I'll mostly say ' They used this rey to arrive close to this pnet'. Only if necessary, will I go into more detail.

  There will be some plot points around the Clusters but not too big.

  Mass Reys:

  Consider this a fast travel device. Without this device, interspace travel would be practically impossible.

  Can make a trip that normally would take years into a few minutes 'drive'.

  Thermal Clips;

  Basically a way to make your gun have infinite ammo. If you don't overheat the clip, you can, supposedly, shoot for a very long time. Of couse, if it overheats, you have to change clips.

  Inside those clips can also have moddifications, like armor piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, etc.

  I also don't pn on going in to much detail on this, but know this is a thing.

  Gaxy Systems:

  Basically, a way to show who has powers in that part of the gaxy. The names are self-expnatory, as in the Earth alliance system, you have to follow the humans ws.

  Inner Space Council has to follow the ws the Council made.

  You get the idea.

  I will probably go into more detail about this in the future, as the pnets Samael brought were not in the Alliance Space, so I can make a plot point around that. Maybe a conflict with a species or something along those lines.

  Anyway, that was it. It was short, but I think I showed enough, for now.

  I don't pn on introducing most races across the gaxy, as I don't think I could do them justice, so I'll only mention their characters briefly in the chapters. The main ones in my Fic will be the ones I mentioned above. The rest will be an afterthought.

  If I do find a plot point in the future, regarding another race not mentioned here, I'll update this chapter.

  Thanks for the support!
