Cast & Crew
Logain
Perplexing front man of the group, Logain is the tallest Turian ever, most likely. A thing which does not stop him from rolling more 2’s than anyone else. Nonetheless he is unknown and mysterious, no-one knows anything about him because there is nothing to know.
Teala
Teala D’Avo, a blue alien woman named after the colour teal if you add a letter, was an elite Asari Commando trainee, top of her class, and easily better than anyone else, even her own sisters. This has generated some resentment amongst them. Especially when the favourite daughter was found guilty of treason and went on the run, an exile from Asari space, with a Justicar ready to drop anything to hunt her down if one blue toe crosses that border. Teala became a bounty hunter, a mercenary, and was eventually captured by the Void Wraith, a group of space pirates who are all willing to chew on suicide teeth rather than be caught. So very ordinary gang. They also have a stupid name. Void Wraith? Two things with no substance. A thing of appearance with nothing in it. Teala escaped with the help of the other captives on the ship with her. Those people formed a group called the Sidewinders. Clustered around her massive charisma, that is almost never on display.
During their adventures the Sidewinders proved her innocence and brought an end to the activities of the evil scientist who caused her wrongful traitor status. Then a Justicar swooped in and did fuck all and got all the credit. Where’s the honour in that, hmm?
Now free, Teala is free to come and go as she pleases, and is the part owner of a beach resort, having been awarded millions of credits in compensation by the Asari Government… your tax dollars at work. Life is hard for Teala, with her powerful biotics, infinite money, public adulation and sexy girlfriend.
Ator
Oh look, everyone, a Quarian Tech. How novel, everyone look what happens when a player wants to maximise the rolls they will make when they choose a race. Ator’Nazri nar Shadaa is a yellow suited Quarian, inventor of the ‘Ator Disc’ powerful temporary range extending devices which allow someone to use computer equipment from really quite far away. Heaven forbid Wizards not be safely nestled in the back of the party, very far from danger. Ator is a rare biotic Quarian, and was kidnapped by the somehow omniscient Void Wraith, a gang with perfect maps of everything they want. Who somehow never run afoul of law enforcement. He was a member of the Sidewinders, but had to take a leave of absence to complete the dangerous Quarian biotic training.
Ator was very nearly unbeatable with technology.
Zaalo
Zaalo’Mal vas Sentinel, Hey look, another quarian Tech. Wow we’re original, aren’t we. Mal, meaning bad from the Latin he sure is. Drinking, Gambling, blowing shit up. These are his skills. I would add Racing, but a small Asari girl who lives in a duct beats him at that every time. Zaalo has a dark past, because everyone does. He enjoys being loud and blowing things up, because that is the perfect addition to a stealth based combat avoidance style of play. But his armour is a nice purplish blue. Snazzy! On the plays side he as research skills and has tortured a sea cucumber for science! He still wants to do right by his people, but can not go back right now… Sound familiar? Zaalo was a later addition to the group.
Rosa
Rosarita Rodriguez Santiago is a human. A hairy oily goo wrapped in a tank top. Rosa has fought elite Asari Commando teams to a standstill and defeated them in objective based training scenarios. It’s hard to keep track of exactly Which N-rank training programme she was in, but her friends are all easily better at whatever you want to do than you are. Trust me bro, they look well cool, and people that cool are all in the top 1%. Rosa was amongst the first humans to try to join C-Sec, because humans have to shove themselves into everything, don’t they. She proved capable but soon the lure of personal business forced her to join the Sidewinders. Rosa is seeking her brothers who for some reason have all been kidnapped by the Void Wraith, a gang of pirates who seem to be able to operate seamlessly all over the galaxy with absolutely no difficulty whatsoever. Rosa specialises in shooting and blowing things up. you know, the coolest of specialties. We’ll add driving to that list. She does this in a rules system with a personal hatred for Soldier classes. She is one of the newest members of the Sidewinders. You know, Ken should be writing these…
Guld
Jeltak Guld is a big Krogan who shoots things and hits things. And the Originality keeps on coming. He enjoys eating and hitting. Guld is capable of fathering children. That’s about it. He hasn’t been with the group since his player flipped a shit.
Krayne
Drell. Swoirdsman. Stat twink. Cleaning. Biotic. High Charisma. No evidence in Roleplay. Insists on Perfect Maps of all potential missions. Brother of Hirokin.
Hirokin
He’s an assassin. There I said it, no-one ever wants to admit this, but he is. He just fucking is. He’s Wannabe Thane Krios. Wake up, sheeple. “Diplomatic Courier” you people believe that shit? Oh yes, his player eloquently navigates these conversations with the skill of a seasoned diplomat, the charm of a Breakfast Show Host and the intellect of Jordan Peterson. But think about it for a few moments. What kind of COURIER has a wrist knife? WHat kind of couriser sneaks like a shadow, and carefully assassinates their enemies with a grenade pistol, nearly destroying the mission objective in the process. Only a master assassin. That’s who.
Anyway he’s dead. Tried to go one on one with a Krogan Battlemaster.
Sergeant T’Dami
Sergeant T’Dami is tall for an Asari, fit and serious. She needs to fix her broken personality and the only person willing to help her is Logain. Whom she finds irresistibly fun. Despite her protests she walks the path of joy.
Ok, Ok… So she’s a C-Sec Sergeant, half-sister of Teala, and probably one of the few she isn’t better than. It was she and Captain Dentes who employed the Sidewinders, needing a group of badasses to take care of things the Law wouldn’t, or couldn’t. She works too hard, and seems to have a web of contacts and informants.
Tes
Tiny little duct rat Tessaliana… fuck is that how you spell that? Who knows. She has more money than you would think, and donates to clinics and orphanages. Viewed as a kid sister by some Sidewinders, she is older than almost all of them. Constantly greasy, and dubiously legal. Meaning she might steal stuff. Tes usually dresses like Chel, sans the longfall boots. She is the default engineer and refueling technician.
Captain Dentes
It means Teeth.
Captain Dentes is the technical Superior of Sergeant T’Dami, but we all know who wears the penis in that relationship. He collaborated on the Sidewinders Project. One can only wonder how many other such less public groups he has under him. Or where he gets the money from.
Nezina
Nezina’Sana nar Iktomi is a Quarian… wait for it… Techie! You never see these. This one is … wait for it… making AIs. Never happens these days. She carries her plush quarian suited harp seal “Blinky” probably the blue box. She keeps calling the Sidewinders to clean up the Geth she makes. Oh and one time it was Robot Dinosaurs. That were AIs I have no doubt.
