Greetings everyone,
We are happy to announce that the Alpha will be released early 2011 and respectively the Alpha sign ups will open in December;
These may be subject to change if there are any major RL interferences or Reaper invasions and the like, but we are hopeful to keep the dates ;)
This DevBlog will focus on some of the characters you will encounter on the Citadel when playing the Alpha.
Some of them are optional, though some just can't be avoided, so if you would like to go into the Alpha unspoiled, you might want to stop reading now

okey, here we go...
C-Sec :
Carlos Miller
Carlos Miller was one of many humans who joined C-Sec after the Battle of the Citadel. He comes from a family of cops back on Earth, where he himself had worked in law enforcement. After some additional training he was recently accepted into the ranks of C-Sec.While he's doing his best to work with aliens, he's still a bit awkward around them and might accidentially insult them.
T'Nevis
T'Nevis
If there are any questions you have for C-Sec, T'Nevis is the one to go to. She'll relay you to her respective colleagues for specific questions or if someone could use a hand with something. She's a very helpful and open-minded individual and will attempt to convince you to 'do the right thing'.
Vanerus
Vanerus
Vanerus joined C-Sec after finishing service in the turian military. Seriousness and doing things by the book are the traits that first come to mind when his colleagues describe him, though there are exceptions. He's strongly opposing the rise of humans after the Battle of the Citadel and clinging to the thought of turians as galactic peacekeepers as it had been since the times of the Krogan Rebellions.
merchants :
Dwayne Haller
sells : omni-tools & bio-amps
Dwayne Haller has his own ways to combine being a member of Terra Firma with being a merchant in the Dupree Market on the Citadel. Sweet-talking some customers and harassing others. The latter often causes friction with the other merchants in the Dupree Market as they fear his behaviour upsets their own customers, on top of being the target of his anit-alien rants themselves.
Gaxyera
sells : weapons
Gaxyera is an expert when it comes to weapons, owing to the fact that she had worked as a mercenary for over two centuries. She makes it a point to test all the weapons she's selling. It may be her approaching matron stage, but she tends to point out safety rules and tipps for combat on occasion.
Nan Bolan
sells : ships & shuttles
Nan Bolan is what some might consider a typical volus merchant. Though it would be unfair to reduce him to that, as there's more than meets the eye, both good and bad. He's very knowledgable when it comes to the ships he's selling. While their shops aren't in the same area, he often clashes with Dwayne Haller, who enjoys insulting the volus on the way to work.
Vento Zil

Vento Zil
sells : armor
Vento Zil had a well-running enterprise on Omega until a few months ago. After some 'complications' he decided it would be better to leave the station before ending up dead. Eventually he decided it's best to leave the Terminus alltogether and move to the Citadel. Since he never did anything illegal in Citadel space he can now live here as a respected citizen – protected by C-Sec from any mercs who might venture here and try to settle some old scores. However, old habits die hard and it's only a matter of time before he'll run into trouble again.
Volaen
sells : mines & maps
Volaen comes from a family of miners, however he's neither technically savy enough to handle the mining equipment, nor does he have any sense for management. By chance Volaen displayed some talent for business though and it was decided he should handle the acquisition of new equipment. Soon people came for him to get tips where to get the best equipment for the lowest price and eventually Volaen opened a shop for mining equipment on the Citadel.
Best wishes

I'm sure that this has already been brought to your attention, but just in case it hasn't you say that Dwayne Haller is a member of Terra Nova. Terra Nova is a colony, whereas I THINK you meant Terra Firma, the xenophobic political party.
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up Strigoi!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, while we did consider Terry Nova his origin for a wee bit, what was meant here is his affiliation with Terra Firma;
it has been corrected :)
