#it was fun trying to come up with a quarian outfit that looked distinctive but also ordinary enough to blend in with a crowd

some art related to this ask! Another Mass Effect OC? Yes.


Siwa Rusk (volus, she/her) and Kesh’Vataar (quarian, they/them) have been friends for years. They met while Kesh was on their pilgrimage and Siwa was working at her dad’s exosuit repair and refurbishment shop on the Citadel. After discovering a shared love of coding, they wrote some pieces of dual-platform software together that Kesh took back to the Fleet as a pilgrimage gift. The experience, along with her new friend’s quarian cultural sensibilities, gave Siwa an appreciation for free and open-source software that persists to this day, in contrast to her people’s typical preference for strict copyright licensing.


(these drawings are them in the present day! Maybe at this point they have a whole secret handshake routine? Kesh picking up Siwa is absolutely not a mutually-agreed-upon step though.)
