(Not a fan-fic, just me being incredibly lazy.)
(Basically, a little DND-ish campaign based off of Mass Effect. Character creation and play is based off of DND, but most in-game things you can find right in the Galactic Codex.)
You do NOT have to have played any Mass Effect titles, nor is Mass Effect experience going to make you any better at this.
Project Phantom. Never heard of by civilian, Turian, or Alliance ears who aren't of a higher pay grade than Spectres. But there has only been one Human Spectre, and he/she wouldn't be born for a long time. Everyone knew that. Unless, of course, they knew about Project Phantom. Project Phantom was a small team of Human Spectres in the year 2165. They were set aside for only the most dire situations.
ADEPT: Through the manipulation of Mass Effect fields known as biotics, they are ultimate killing machines. Trained to rip apart enemies and destroy objects with their mind, they are feared, and nobody wants one in their face.
Starting Skills:
Basic Armor: Every level slightly increases your armor and shields. Can Unlock Medium and Heavy armor.
Starting Powers:
Warp: Using a small Mass Effect field, you can tear enemies and items apart at the atomic level.
Singularity: By increasing the mass of one small point exponentially, you can create a singularity to suck in and throw enemies.
Weapon Training:
Shotgun, Heavy Pistol.
ENGINEER: With advanced skills in technology, Engineers use Combat drones and powerful tech attacks to incapacitate their enemies.
Starting Skills:
Pistols: With every level, you get increased damage with Heavy Pistols. Unlocks Sniper specialization.
Decryption: With every level, decryption becomes quicker and has less of a chance of failing.
First Aid: With every level, first aid becomes more effective.
Starting Powers:
Combat Drone: Summon a drone that can seek out and stun enemies. Every level increases the drone's health and damage.
Overload: Use to do large damage to synthetic enemies and to items. Unlocks Incinerate and Cryo Blast.
Weapon Training:
Heavy Pistol, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle.
INFILTRATOR: Infiltrators are trained with a variety of weapons and have the ability to make themselves invisible. They are well trained with equipment, and are deadly at any range.
Starting Skills:
Pistols: With every level, you get increased damage with Heavy Pistols. Unlocks Sniper specialization.
Tactical Armor: Every level increases mobility and strength of your armor. Unlocks Medium Armor.
Starting Powers:
Tactical Cloak: Go invisible to radar and the naked eye for a small amount of time.
Disruptor Ammo: Equip this to have your bullets do extra damage against shields and synthetic enemies.
Weapon Training
Sniper Rifle, Heavy Pistol, Submachine Gun, Shotgun.
SENTINEL: Using both tech and biotic abilities, they are incredible versatile and use a "Juggernaut" shield system that will stun nearby enemies if destroyed.
Starting Skills:
Decryption: With every level, decryption becomes quicker and has less of a chance of failing.
First Aid: With every level, first aid becomes more effective.
Tech Armor: With every level, shield strength greatly increases.
Starting Powers:
Throw: Send enemies flying through the air with a biotic throw.
Barrier: Add extra strength to your shield with a biotic barrier.
Weapon Training:
Heavy Pistol, Heavy Weapons, Submachine Guns.
SOLDIER: Soldiers are pure combat specialists who use only the power of their body and their guns to fight. Can use medium armor at start.
Starting Skills:
Assault Rifles: Every level increases Assault Rifle damage.
Assault Training: Every level increases Health, Mobility, and Weapon damage.
Combat Armor: Every level increases Armor. Unlocks Heavy Armor.
Starting Powers:
Adrenaline Rush: Use to gain a temporary increase in Speed and Health.

All types.
VANGUARD: Vanguards are well-trained soldiers and biotics, with combat and biotic abilities. They are known for up-close powerhouse combat, and can do a full on biotic charge against the enemy.
Starting Skills:
Shotguns: Every level increases Shotgun Damage.
Assault Training: Every level increases Health, Mobility, and Weapon damage.
Starting Powers:
Warp: Using a small Mass Effect field, you can tear enemies and items apart at the atomic level.
Charge: Using your biotics, you can increase your barriers exponentially and run at your enemy with an insane amount of force.
Pull: Like a biotic throw, only a pull.
Weapon Training:
Shotgun, Heavy Pistol, and Heavy Weapons.
You get 4 points to start the game, use them for your skills and powers, but you can only get one rank in your power choices to start. (You can save up rank points). Ranking works as follows: First rank is 1 point, second rank is 2 points, 3 rank is 3 points, all the way up to rank six. NOTE: Additional Powers and Abilities can be unlocked by leveling up abilities and powers.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
In terms easier than reading the entire Codex, in the year 2157, Humans found artifacts on Mars that uncovered an ancient race known as the Protheans and revealed that Pluto's "moon" was actually a mass relay, a sort of inter-galactic transit system. The mass relay operates off of the "Mass Effect", a process by which the mass of an object is lowered or increased.
There were aliens such as the Turians, Asari, Salarians, and Krogan, just to name a few. The Turians declared war on the Humans after they set up the colony of Shanxi, which the Turians invaded. This war was called the "First Contact War" and ended five years later. The Council is a council of three representatives, an Asari, Turian, and Salarian, who live on the Citadel, a giant Space Station which is the seat of Council Government. The Council has a special organization of Spectres: soldiers of the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance squad and elite peacekeepers. They work without any rules, and their power is only limited by the firepower they can muster.
Other groups in the Galaxy are The Alliance, basically a human space navy, the Turian Hierarchy, and the Batarian Hegemony. Pretty much everything not claimed by a group is labeled as the Traverse. The species I have bee naming off are the important ones, but you can look them up in the codex as we go along. Handy that.
