Character History: Born Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, the daughter of a member of the quarian Admiralty Board has had an exciting life for her young age. She was raised on the flotilla by her mother until her death when Tali was seventeen -- infection from an airborne virus. While Tali was upset, it was an unfortunately common occurrence on the flotilla. When she first met up with the crew of the original Normandy, she was participating in her Pilgrimage - a quarian tradition where young members of the fleet go out into the rest of the universe seeking information or technology that will help the fleet to advance. Whilst on the Normandy, Tali proved herself a capable machinist with technical skills to rival few others outside of the Migrant Fleet. Commander Shepard helped Tali to recover important data on the early years of the geth, a machine race that the quarians themselves created (which then went rogue and attempted to destroy all organic life). Returning the data to the Migrant Fleet and joining the ranks of the ship Neema, she gained the name Tali'Zorah vas Neema.
Over the next two years, Tali gained great reputation with the Migrant Fleet. She headed a rescue mission to Freedom's Progress, the location where an entire human colony disappeared with no visible struggle, to rescue a quarian named Veetor who was on his Pilgrimage. Here she encountered Commander Shepard again (despite greatly exaggerated rumours that she was dead), and she aided her in the rescue of Veetor. Tali was then sent on an important and mostly-classified mission to the planet of Haestrom. Tali and a group of quarian marines were eventually spotted on the planet's surface by the geth; they began dropping troops onto the ground and only Tali and a marine named Kal'Reegar survived. Commander Shepard rescued them both after arriving on the planet in hopes of recruiting Tali to his latest cause against a group called the Collectors. She revealed to Shepard that she was on the planet collecting information about Haestrom's sun. Hurt and angry over the death of so many quarians on the planet, and still feeling as if she owed Shepard a debt for helping her with her pilgrimage, Tali joined the crew of the Normandy SR-2.
While posted on the Normandy, Tali received a distressing message from the Migrant Fleet telling her that she had been charged with treason. Commander Shepard accompanied her to the deck of the Rayya, where Tali discovered her charges were smuggling active geth into the fleet. She also found that her name had been changed by the fleet to vas Normandy, effectively stripping her of any ties to the Migrant Fleet. Tali had been sending her father deactivated geth samples that she was sure had not been dangerous. At the hearing, she was told that her father's research ship, the Alarei, had been overrun by geth and her father was assumed dead.
Along with Commander Shepard, Tali reclaimed the Alarei and wiped it of any remaining geth ... but Tali was also bombarded with the fact that her father was in fact committing crimes against the Migrant Fleet in an attempt to reactivate the geth neural networks and use them against the geth. He had promised her a house on a new home world when she was young, and was preparing to help the Fleet go to war against the geth to do so. The Migrant Fleet had been divided on this issue for years. His body was found on the ship with a datapad instructing Tali to destroy the geth hub on the Alarei and take his research to the rest of the fleet.
It was at this point, stepping off of the Alarei and to the shuttle toward the Migrant Fleet, that Tali realized she was no longer with the rest of the crew.
Character Personality: Being born into the Migrant Fleet means that Tali'Zorah is more comfortable in bustling, loud environments than she is in a quiet household. In fact, she finds it rather distressing to be anywhere that the machinery runs quietly -- in the Migrant Fleet, this usually means that life support is failing or worse. She enjoys crowds and being around large groups of people because it reminds her of home. Being incarcerated is going to be particularly difficult for Tali during lock-down, as the stress of being so close to alone will impact her quickly. The threat of being sent to solidarity will probably keep Tali in line as much as possible unless she feels that the risk of being punished is less than what she might gain.
Having found little time for the nurturing of relationships in her ambitious life, Tali is notoriously awkward with expressing her feelings toward anyone and is prone to fits of rambling around people that she cares about. Although she is cautious around people until she finds out their true beliefs about quarians, she is friendly enough and tries to offer up information to others that she believes is helpful. She adapts quickly to situations normally, but is probably going to have a hard time with the prison life and being uprooted into another universe entirely. Although she was not close to her father, his death and finding out that he was lying to her about the reasons she needed to send him geth has upset her greatly. The safety of the group she is affiliated with is Tali's prime concern; she will put herself at risk for the 'greater good' without a second thought.
Physical Description: Tali is of average height for a quarian, shorter and slighter of build than most humans. Like all quarians, she has three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot, and her legs are bowed backward. Oh, and don't ask about her ears, if you've heard the rumours -- they are a topic of some great sensitivity. Features of Tali's face (and even whether she is blushing or making any sort of facial expression) are greatly obstructed by the screen of her suit. The only thing visible through the screen is the faint glow of her eyes. Her voice is modified slightly as it moves through her breathing apparatus, but she still comes across as soft-spoken and even quiet. Few people see the faces of quarians because it is so dangerous to their health to be exposed to the outside environment.
Like all quarians, Tali wears her enviro-suit constantly. It is a close-fitting, compartmentalized and extremely sophisticated cover that protects her from having severe allergic reactions to ... almost everything, really. Her particular suit is embellished with a violet headdress covered in swirling designs; this particular style of headdress signifies her as a full adult of the Migrant Fleet. All enviro-suits are also equipped with nerve stimulators for the adventurous quarian who wants to experience pleasure and sensation without risking their health.
Magical powers or special skills: All of Tali's powers are a product of her omini-tool and various other tech upgrades attached to her suit (they are easily removable). Unfortunately for her, this means she is pretty useless without them! Tali is skilled both technically and mechanically. She is proficient with pistols and has some aptitude with a shotgun; with her omni-tool, Tali is able to both hack and overload machines. She is also excellent at the decryption safes and locked doors if they are electronically controlled. Her omni-tool summons a combat drone named Chiktikka vas Paus that can draw enemy fire and electronically stun certain enemies.
Any crimes committed in canon: Assaults, various murders, bank terminal thefts (as an accomplice)
Crime incarcerated into Glaxcin for: Treason against the Migrant Fleet
Is there any particular direction you would like to see your character go? Anything you would like to explore?: Since Tali is coming fresh off the death of her father and her probable exile out of the Migrant Fleet, she's going to have some issues to deal with - to say the least. She's also a technical genius, so I'm sure that there are some things she could be useful for (and some naughty things that she can get into, depending on who she ends up befriending) in Glaxcin. She's already used to being treated like a second-class citizen (quarians are looked down upon for being the race to have unleashed the geth on the rest of the universe), but that doesn't mean she's going to like it.
Have we missed anything? Tali is from the ME2 that has a female Paragon Shepard, for the simple fact that this is the Shepard I had in my latest playthrough.
