Description
This character was done for the Mass Effect Club's "New Generation" Challenge.

Edit: Adjusted her skin color, did more work on her armor, fixed her gun handles, and did a little bit of touch up.

Below is a brief on her character. A more involved story about the Gorgons can be found here. : [link]

Name: Sabine Taylor
Parents: Jacob Taylor & Miranda Lawson (yeah, I went there)
Age: 28
Class: Infiltrator

Who She Is:

Sabine is the youngest of Miranda and Jacob's two daughters, and growing up she was the most troublesome as well. She is a (sometimes volatile) mix of her father's emotional constipation and her mother's savvy for problem solving. Due to her mixed heritage and decorated parents, Sabine can be very proud. She believes she is the best of the both worlds, and her tastes in hairstyle, clothing, and music tend to reflect that. Sabine takes herself seriously and has a high level of accountability. She hates batarians, liars, and cowards. She loves kids, opera, and going new places. She admires turian discipline and their respect for history.

What She Is:

Finding the Alliance military too strict and broad in their goals, Sabine left home in search of a better way to apply her combat skills, and eventually encountered Gorgon - an all-female anti-trafficking group known for heavy border-patrol and the occasional blitz attack into batarian territory to recover kidnapped slaves. Such events are called "emancipation missions" and are not Council-sanctioned.

How Gorgon Operates:

During these runs, one or two Gorgon cells will team up and send forth a solo operative responsible for infiltrating the targeted slave compound. Once the operative is inside, she will determine the compound's layout and relay pertinent information to her comrades. The operative then has the option of distributing a nerve toxin to disable enemies, but only if she can guarantee the captives will not be harmed. In either case, the remaining cell members will descend on the base, collect their human cargo with as little bloodshed as possible, and return to their ships to bee-line back to Citadel space.

Gorgon is small but growing, and their appeal amongst asari communities is spreading fastest. When considering ships, they prefer speed to size and stealth to firepower, for obvious reasons. Run-ins with turian military patrols are not uncommon, as they make up the bulk of the Citadel's security in outlying space where Gorgons normally operate. Though Gorgon is not recognized in any official capacity, the two parties generally respect one another's mission priorities and go their ways peaceably after a brief report of the incident is logged.

Trivia:

Gorgons sometimes refer to the targets of their missions by the codeword "statue(s)" - a dual reference to the creature of myth whose gaze turned men to stone (or the target the Gorgon is searching for) and to the fact rescued slaves are often transported back to safety in cyro (and thus appear inanimate).

Final Word:

Sabine's cell consists of fourteen operatives, including four asari commandos. She has completed eight missions outside Citadel space and is the go-to solo operative for initial contact. When space combat is inevitable, Sabine has the training necessary to man a gunnery station.
