The Krogan, on the other hand, might react with a sense of novelty. Given their rough and war - like nature, human music could either be a source of amusement or something they find too soft. They might be more attracted to the louder, more energetic human music like rock or heavy metal, seeing it as a reflection of a kind of warrior spirit in a different way.
For the Turians, they would likely analyze human music from a more structured and military - like perspective. They might try to find patterns and meanings within the music that align with their own values of discipline and order. In fanfiction, a Turian might be initially dismissive of human music as being too chaotic, but as they learn more about it, they could start to appreciate the emotional depth that it can convey.
If we consider a fanfiction where Mass Effect characters react to human music, the Salarians would be intrigued. Their highly intelligent minds would try to dissect the musical patterns. They might see it as a form of communication or a new area of study. For the Quarians, human music could be a source of both wonder and sadness. Wonder because it's so different from what they are used to in their isolated suits, and sadness because they might long for the kind of communal experience that music often brings. The Geth, if they had the capacity to 'feel' in the fanfiction, might be confused at first but then find the mathematical precision in some forms of music appealing.
The Turians might be initially confused by human music. They have their own military - inspired music which is very different in rhythm and style. But they could grow to appreciate the variety in human music. For instance, they might like military marches in human music that have a similar structured feel to their own.
Some characters might be in awe of the power and grandeur of the human galactic empire. They could see it as a symbol of human achievement and a new era of dominance in the galaxy. Others might be fearful, especially if the empire has a reputation for being aggressive or imperialistic. They would worry about the loss of their own independence or the way the empire might treat their race.
Well, in some of these fanfictions, human music can act as a bridge. For example, if a human plays a guitar on a Citadel bar, an alien might be drawn to the unique sound. This initial attraction can lead to conversations and the start of a relationship, whether it's a friendship or something more. It shows that music can transcend the differences between species.
One great example of Mass Effect human music fanfiction could be a story where a human character uses music to connect with an alien species in the Mass Effect universe. Maybe a human singer performs a song that has a profound impact on the krogan, forging a new bond between the two races.
One idea could be a story where a human musician tries to introduce their music to a group of Mass Effect species on the Citadel. The reactions could range from confusion to enthusiasm, and it could lead to a cross - cultural musical exchange. For example, the Salarians might be interested in the scientific aspects of how human music affects the human brain.
It gives more perspectives. By reading the fanfiction, we can see the game from different angles. Different writers have different views on the events and characters in Mass Effect, and this diversity of thought enriches our understanding of the game world.
The Illusive Man would likely try to use the human rebellion to his own advantage. He could be secretly funding and arming the rebels while also trying to manipulate the situation to gain more power for Cerberus. The Asari, Turians, and Salarians on the Council would be forced to reevaluate their relationships with humans. They might initially see the rebellion as a threat and respond with military force, but as the situation unfolds, they could start to see the reasons behind the human discontent. And for the ordinary citizens of different species, they would be watching with a mix of fear, curiosity, and hope, depending on how the rebellion affects their own lives and the stability of the galaxy.
You should also focus on the relationships. In Mass Effect, relationships between characters are crucial. If it's a human - Asari relationship in your fanfic, show how their different life spans and cultures affect it. And don't forget about the plot. A good plot can keep readers engaged. It could be a human trying to solve a mystery on an alien planet or something similar.
Commander Shepard is quite popular. Fanfictions often explore different versions of Shepard's story, like what if Shepard made different choices during the main game's events. Liara T'Soni also features a lot as she has a strong connection with humans, especially Shepard. Her unique abilities and her relationship with Shepard make her a great character to include in human - centric fanfictions.
