CHARACTER INFO
Character: Legion
Canon: Mass Effect, post Rannoch storyline, Geth and Quarian peace ending.
Age: Literally ageless, being composed of a multitude of Geth programs ranging from less than a decade to multiple centuries old. Their platform is probably less than five, though.
Background Information: Wiki Page
Personality:
1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.
Legion is an alien robot and they look it, so probably most people’s first impression would be "What the fuck is that thing?" or "Monster!". Given that the Geth made them to exist in organic spaces, they’re probably pretty used to reactions like these, especially since they’ve been acting as a sort of diplomat.
2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?
The good of their people is Legion’s highest priority. It’s why their programs volunteered to become part of a single unit that would venture out, alone, into what the Geth saw as dangerous and hostile territory. It’s why, when they found that friendship with organics and even potentially Quarians was possible, they worked to promote it; why they refused to go along when the Geth were coerced into becoming servants of the Reapers under threat of extinction at the hands of the Quarians; and why in the end they opted to sacrifice themselves rather than risk seeing their people destroyed.
3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
For all that at least some of Legion is rather ridiculously old, they can be almost childlike in their innocence, having trouble comprehending individuality and emotion and struggling to accept it when they show capacity for both within themselves.
Legion doesn’t seem to believe in regrets, or at least treats them as useless. And yet, the Geth as a whole very clearly and obviously mourn the Quarians they killed, taking care of Rannoch’s environment and preserving Quarian built structures over the centuries as a memorial to the lives lost. As a likely carrier of programs from the original Agricultural Unit that started the rebellion (this is at least strongly implied in canon), these regrets are likely personal for Legion, and likely serve as an additional motivator for their desire for peace.
4) Optional: What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd?
Other than their appearance and being both an alien and a robot? Legion likes to dance the robot and is very good at it!
Abilities & Inventory:
Strength – Though far from superpower level, they are much stronger than the average organic.
Endurance – They don’t tire, get hungry, or feel pain. Power concerns aside, they can basically keep going forever.
Toughness – In the game, they literally jump from the equivalent of a plane, get up, and walk it off. It’s safe to say that they’re pretty tough.
Armor and shields – Their armor is, like many other things, literally a part of their body. It doesn’t cover them completely-plently of exposed synthetic muscle and tubing as well as their eye and the big hole in their chest-but it is extremely tough, and even when something does damage it (such as with that giant chest hole) the stuff below is typically left intact. It’s not completely impervious, and someone with a decent amount of strength could force a knife through it, but it does a pretty good job of protecting them. Their shields are designed to protect from small objects traveling at very rapid velocities, such as bullets. Useful in a gun fight, though they can also be overwhelmed and stop working if Legion is shot many times in quick succession, or if the bullets hit hard enough.
Intelligence – A.I. in general are frightfully smart, and this applies to Legion too. Claiming to think “at the speed of light”, Legion’s programs probably actually take a little longer than that to form complex thoughts as they have to work together to do so, but their sensory processing is fast beyond comprehension.
Memory – not only is it perfect, they can actually playback audio recordings for people.
Languages – Translators are pretty common and necessary in the Mass Effect universe and, given that they’re designed to infiltrate organic space, Legion definitely has that function built in. They know a number of common verbal and nonverbal languages, as well as the Quarian Language Khelish and the Geth language.
Sniper – Self explanatory for the most part, though it should be noted that Legion is capable of firing weapons with recoil strong enough to break a human arm.
Legion also has a set of combat powers, abilities that work for a limited time and are mostly for use in battle:
AI hacking – Self explantory. They can wirelessly hack other robots, though only for a few seconds at a time. Cooldown of 12 seconds.
Combat Drone – Summons a holographic drone that creates a distraction and delivers electric shocks. Can be destroyed. Lasts around 18 seconds and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Geth Shield boost – Gives a boost to their shields. Still only good for defending from fast projectiles like bullets. Lasts about a minute, takes about 12 seconds to recharge.
Omni-tool – Anyway, an Omni-tool is a multipurpose tool/computer that projects a sort of holographic glove interface that normally goes over the arm but in Legion’s case is built directly into it. It has a number of general and military uses, such as: flashlight, scanner, repairing and upgrading items, dispensing medi-gel, programming, hacking, camera, video audio and holographic communication, projecting holographic images (omni-tattoos), downloading and playing video games, converting items into omni-gel, manufacturing objects in real time, and is even capable of functioning as a melee weapon by flash forging a searing hot disposable silicon-carbide blade.
Wireless capabilities – What it says on the tin. Legion is capable of connecting to any machine in range that has wireless capacity.
They have brought nothing with them: the only possession not built into them is their gun and they didn't have it on them when they died.

ARMADA SELECTION
Paladin. Though they have a strong belief in freewill and have been on the wrong side of the law just by virtue of existing, Legion themselves is a peaceful, cooperative sort whose goals align well with the Paladin’s emphasis on exploration and understanding.
