Mass Effect Legion X Oc

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

The unbroken legion (A testament for the twelfth of June)

In a world scarred by war and oppressive regimes, the once-proud Twelfth Legion lies shattered. Disarmed and humiliated under the tyrannical General Besa, General Mervin Kapapi ("The Iron Resolve") and his remaining soldiers plot to reclaim their honor and weapons, offering their services to a treacherous Governor in a desperate gambit. Meanwhile, the Legion's spirit endures through its scattered remnants. Survivors Kael and Lira, escaping a massacre by the fanatical Void Sect, are entrusted by enigmatic forest tribes with a dangerous weapon: a mysterious obsidian seed pulsating with latent power. Simultaneously, Captain Elias Varek is blackmailed by the Governor into a mission to the cursed Deadzone, where he uncovers a horrifying plot: the Governor is excavating the Twelfth Legion's own fallen soldiers to weaponize them into an undead army. Branded traitors and relentlessly pursued, Elias and allies like the fierce Kaela navigate treacherous landscapes—from the Citadel's hidden passages to war-torn battlefields. They face betrayals like the turncoat warlord Veymar, deadly assassins like the aether-wielding Chameleon (whose actions hint at a conspiracy linked to the Legion's fall on the Twelfth of June), and terrifying forces like the Unseen Hand cabal of void mages. Each encounter reveals fragments of a larger, darker threat, symbolized by the cryptic message "Eclipsed." As the exiled remnants of the Twelfth, now led by figures like Kael Veyne, battle usurpers and unearth ancient secrets within a buried Aetherian ship, Elias and his comrades fight desperate last stands against overwhelming enemies like the warlord Garrik. Their survival hinges on resilience, unexpected alliances (including the formidable Witch of the Wilds), and timely reinforcements, most crucially the Seventh Legion. The Unbroken Legion is a gritty epic of resilience against annihilation. It follows soldiers stripped of everything but their resolve as they fight to reclaim their honor, expose necromantic plots, confront ancient powers, and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that shattered them, proving that even a broken legion can be reforged in the fires of defiance.

Massé Life

I used to be disenchanted of my own hands. Not in some weird psychological way—though maybe it was psychological, who knows. I mean literally afraid that my hands would betray me at the worst possible moment. Which they did. Constantly. Job interviews, presentations, first dates. Anytime people were watching and waiting for me to perform, my fingers would go numb and my brain would just... shut off. Like someone pulled the power cord. I called it ATSM—Anxiety That Stiffens Muscles. Stupid name, but I'm a programmer. I like labeling things, even when I can't fix them. The worst part? It killed my one real passion. I used to love billiards. Was actually decent at it, back in college. But after... well, after something happened that I don't really want to get into right now, I couldn't hold a cue stick without falling apart. So I did what any rational person would do: I gave up. Got a safe job, worked long hours, convinced myself I didn't need hobbies anyway. That plan worked great for about fifteen years. Then I made the mistake of running my mouth on TikTok, challenging the Queen of Nine-Ball to a match. Because apparently when you're having a midlife crisis, the smart move is to embarrass yourself in front of the best billiards player in Southeast Asia. This plot is about what happened after that. It's about meeting people who refused to let me quit, learning to fail in public without dying, and discovering that sometimes the only way forward is to go back and face the thing that broke you in the first place. It's also about billiards, obviously. But mostly it's about being brave enough to suck at something you love, in front of people who matter.
