#Keri T'Vessa

[canonqueercharacters]

The canon queer character of the day is:

Keri T’Vessa from Mass Effect: Andromeda, who is bisexual.

[dirtybiowareconfessions]

Confession: Ryder presses Keri T'Vessa's face and tits against the transparent wall of his quarters on Site Ditaeon so that she can see the pretty blue waters of Kadara while he fucks her senseless. That's one way to get over homesickness: making new memories.

Sara Ryder Master Post

✧ BASICS ✧ Full Name: Sara Elizabeth Ryder Pronouns: She/her Date of Birth: 28 Mar 2154 Place of Birth: The Citadel (Widow System in the Milky Way) Height: 5'11" (180 cm) Weight: ~160 lbs Body Type: Absolutely shredded Eye Color: Light blue Hair Color: Dark bronze brown

✧ PERSONALITY & SKILLS ✧ MBTI: ISTP Training: Operative Combat Profile: Infiltrator

✧ RELATIONSHIPS ✧ Father: Alec Ryder Mother: Ellen Ryder Brother: Scott Ryder (born 2157) Closet Friends: - Vetra Nyx - Jaal Ama Darav - Nakmor Drack Partners: - Jonathan Barrett (ex-fiance; remained in the Milky Way) - Keri T'Vessa (ex; fling) - Reyes Vidal (ex; fling) - Dr. Harry Carlyle

✧ NOTES ✧ - This is an updated version of the Sara Ryder I created in 2017/2018. Her personality and pre-Andromeda history hasn't changed too much, but she is older during the events of the game (about 31). - She and Scott are not twins; she's the eldest sibling by about 3 years. However, he has his shit together way more than she does, lmao. They have a great relationship, and Sara considers him one of her best friends. - Sara is very much Alec's daughter--Smart, curious to a fault, tough, ambitious, and does not like being told what to do. (Don't tell her that, though.) - She met the basic requirements for N7 training back in the Milky Way, but was denied officially due to her pattern of insubordination in the Alliance. The real reason was political--aka because of her pariah of a father. She still holds a grudge about it. - Sara and Harry met about a month before leaving for Andromeda--Alec invited (well, insisted, really) Harry to join them at the Ryder family compound for some pre-launch training and SAM assessments.

I wish the off-ship romances had at least some dialogue about stuff Ryder gets up to once the romance is locked in. Or even just emails where it turns out that the Tempest crew are keeping them updated, so you get back to the Tempest and find emails like:

‘Hey Ryder, why the fuck am I hearing from your doctor that you died???’

Tiran Kandros characterisation rant

Tiran Kandros is one of those minor characters where we know just enough about him to be fascinated and want to know more. I don’t recommend paying money for the Discovery comic, because the plot makes no sense and the artist can’t draw turians, but I definitely recommend reading the plot summary on the Mass Effect wiki and mining it for fanfic purposes (HIS MUM hell yeah!), and I definitely recommend reading Nexus Uprising because it’s a good book. So it's perfectly reasonable for his characterisation to vary wildly in fanfiction.

But there’s one thing I keep seeing, that definitely isn’t right:

He’s not morally pure. He’s not some shining beacon of morality and justice amid the dark.

He was willing to exile Nilken Rensus without a proper investigation. The circumstances made it pretty damn hard to get a proper investigation, but still?

His reaction to idiots holding a peaceful protest in Hydroponics was to volunteer to march them out at gunpoint. I can see why he’s paranoid about civil disobedience, but that’s hardly justifiable, and it’s certainly not going to reduce tensions!

He was fine with jailing Keri T’Vessa for telling the uncensored truth. Sure, telling too much truth apparently caused a few riots, and I can see why he’s paranoid about civil disobedience, and I can see why he really doesn’t want to disobey orders from Tann, and he does sound like he feels guilty about it, but he did it.

I’m not calling him a bad person. He’s clearly doing his absolute best, and it’s an astonishingly good best under the circumstances. He’s thirty and his resume reads “good at shooting bad guys, also good at going undercover and then shooting bad guys” and he didn’t sign up to build and lead an army, any more than Ryder signed up to be Pathfinder. He’s been through a variety of truly horrific shit lately and he could probably do with more mental health care than he’s getting. I’m wondering if his overreaction to the hydroponics protest was related to cultural confusion? “What the fuck are these aliens doing, this would never happen in the culture I’m from, I need to stop them before they do something much worse!!” And he’s certainly more competent than Tann or Addison, more moral than Tann, and less prone to inappropriately being a complete dick than Addison. Those two aren’t demons either, and I empathise with them most of the time, but I hope they get demoted to jobs they’re competent at and replaced with democratically elected officials ASAP.

But Kandros is a flawed man. Incredibly cool? Heroic? Does his best to be kind? Sure! Boyfriend material for pathfinder!Sara? Sure, if you like, and I’d also like to nominate him as potential boyfriend material for pathfinder!Scott, coma-twin, Avitus, Vetra, Addison, Sloane Kelly, or Evfra. Perfect? Nah. You want a morally pure spiky boyfriend for Sara, then write an OC.

(I could also do without the frequent “velociraptor-shaped blow-up doll for Sara!” characterisation, er, lack of characterisation. Nothing against porn, but I like everyone involved to have a personality - more of this sort of thing, please:

Confession: I had a wild sex dream involving Keri T'Vessa filled with biotics, strapons, taking her clothes off with my teeth. I'm going to be so distracted today.

[inoshatrynn]

I feel like you want to get closer to me than an interview.

[mass-effect-anonymous]

Confession:  I hope that, whether or not you romanced them, we get to see more of Avela Kjar and Keri T'Vessa in Mass Effect Andromeda 2. They're both treasures.
