(Haha, thanks. Honestly I just selected his face and any other skin and then did a hue/saturation/brightness change. The selection wasn't perfect though, there are a lot of pixels out of place on the edges. Then I just did as much touch-up as I could as well as coloring in the eyes and the lines on the face. Crying a lot is also true.)
(Also I love your avatar, startail23. And Legion was one of my favorites. D;)

(I really liked Jennifer Hale's performance in that game but I kind-of had to play male Shepard, just since I'm a guy. Can't wait for Andromeda to come out so I can get back in the action, but I hope the male VA is a little better.)

Art is a very painful process lol. Lots of tears, lots of scribbling, many hours spent obsessessing over one small detail that no one but you will ever notice but it has to look absolutely perfect or the whole thing is ruined
Is it bad if I've never played mass effect lol I always meant to but it just... never happened

Retoruna hadn't slept very well the past few days, being away from home had bothered her. She lived all the way back on Vasakaya so General Howe - or the UNA or the military or whoever was putting this together - had provided her a temporary apartment. It was much closer to the point she'd be meeting the rest of the crew, which she supposed was nice. You wouldn't expect someone who spent their whole life an orphan to worry so much about staying in a new place, but Runa did, for whatever reason.
In getting ready for the big day, she had also needed to put on her brand new uniform, which was extremely foreign-looking to her. Not only that, but unlike her Vasakayan uniform, it had no spot for her wings to come out of the fabric in the back. Not wanting to be late while also not wanting to have to tuck her wings into her clothes, she had sloppily cut two holes in the back that probably looked absolutely horrible. Oh well, at least she was partially comfortable.
It had been a weird feeling, to leave her apartment ready for a big mission with nothing but a ponytail around her wrist, but they had already collected all of her belongings. Up until then, as she was on her way to the hangar, she hadn't felt very nervous. Throughout the whole process, there was only this empty feeling of duty, her soldier coming through as she pushed her emotions to the side. Now, as she sat silently in the small transit that was taking her to the hangar, she finally had let herself think, really think. All of a sudden, it was as if she had opened a gate, a nervous horror flooding her. Runa closed her eyes tightly, forcing her shaking hands to tie up her hair whilst taking deep breaths. Eventually, she had managed to calm herself down, and that was when she opened her eyes. It was only a few seconds later that she realized the vehicle had stopped, that she was there. Quickly, she ran her palms down her uniform, hoping her hands weren't incredibly clammy. Then, securing her hands at her sides, she stepped out into the hangar.
White flashed against her eyes, and she had to quickly squint to see a thing. Once her pupils were properly dilated, she managed to see the two giant ships - Andromeda and Cassiopeia - and a small crowd of people. After looking over their uniforms, she could tell that these people were the crew of both teams. There weren't any commander uniforms in the onlookers - thank the gods - which made her a lot less nervous. Right now, all she had to do was meet the rest of her crew, and the sister team's crew. That shouldn't be so hard - right?
Walking over with a quick pace, she blinked around the rest of the crew, feeling the need to scratch her wings but deciding against it. For one, scratching something as obvious as wings was bound to draw attention - and second, her nails were shiny, very much so, meaning it would be even more conspicuous. Not that standing out was bad as an average person - but it wasn't always as a soldier. After looking over the ships one last time, she looked over at everyone who had glanced at her arrival and gave them a smile and a nod. "Retoruna Hernuom," she said simply, not sure if she should add a rank to her name or not.
--------- Ethan was a very extreme mixture of excited and nervous - and the extra coffee he'd had that morning wasn't helping. The entirety of the day before all he could do was imagine the cockpit of the Andromeda, or just imagine the size of the thing. He was going to get to pilot a giant ship. Sure, co-pilot, but it still pretty much counted. Man, he wished he could fly that thing for the rest of his life! Although, he might, this mission was probably the most dangerous one he'd go on. It was very possible it would be the one he didn't come back from. And that was where that nervousness came in. Not necessarily that he'd die - but the fact that if the pilots were dead, the rest of the crew probably was, too. He had tried to push away all of the more horrible thoughts on the ride to the hangar, but sometimes it just wasn't possible.
When he finally landed, he was hardly able to wait for the doors to open, jumping into the bright light of the hangar the first chance he got. This caused him to stumble a second, rubbing his eyes and adjusting to the new room. There was a group of people just ahead - some of whom were staring at him now - and ahead of them were the two ships. He immediately forgot about everyone else in the hangar, his eyes scanning the ships intently. Him, little Ethan Eu-Jeong, was going to get to fly that thing. His face split into a grin as he looked back over at the rest of the group, giving a big wave to the confused stares. And that's when he started to notice the ages of all the people around him. Young, young, young, young, young, young. Just like him, at least aside from one or two people. Why would anyone pick such an inexperienced crew - sure, skilled, but very, very inexperienced. The only conclusion that he could come to was that they were expandable - you'd rather loose some rookies than some amazing and very experienced soldiers - meaning that this really was most likely a suicide mission. Maybe he was wrong, just assuming things, but it got him to stop waving and shove his hands in his pockets nonetheless.

Corporal Athka had arrived at the hangar somewhat early, if only to get a peek at the ship he'd be living on for the the duration of the mission. It seemed nice enough, certainly durable and well-equipped. His environment suit was on, as always, but he wasn't wearing most of the armor pieces. The shoulder plates, knee pads, leg plates, and a lot of the other heavy armor could be taken off and put back on with ease due to magnetic locks, a feature he appreciated. Even though he was used to being sealed in the water-filled suit, the extra weight was sometimes a burden, and it was quite uncomfortable to sit with big metal plates strapped to your butt and thighs. His face couldn't be seen through his reflective visor, but his relaxed posture and lazy observance of the room conveyed his boredom. The commanders would arrive any minute now, and then things would get interesting. But for now he was just bored and anxious to get started. The mission held next-to-no fear for him. Space travel was kind of his thing, and so was being in the unknown. Once they were up in orbit, he would be in his element, with a ship full of people to meet and fight alongside. Speaking of which, he still had no clue which of the other people in the room were on his team. Syl supposed he'd find out momentarily- the door lifted and he looked up at the commanders, waiting to hear what would happen next.
