Survival is also a big theme. Andromeda is full of threats, from hostile alien species to the harsh environments of new planets. Fanfictions often show how the OC overcomes these challenges. It could be through combat skills or using their wits to find resources.
One common theme is self - discovery. The original characters often find themselves in a new and strange galaxy, and they have to figure out who they are and what their place is. For example, an OC might start as a loner but learn to be part of a team.
One common theme is adaptation. The male OC often has to adapt to the new and strange environment of Andromeda. This could involve dealing with new alien species, different technologies, and the challenges of starting over in a new galaxy.
Character redemption is also popular. Maybe a character from Harry Potter who was a villain or had some dark past finds a new start in the Mass Effect Andromeda universe. Or vice versa, a character from Mass Effect Andromeda gets a chance to make up for their mistakes in the world of Harry Potter. It adds an interesting layer of depth to the characters and the story.
A common theme is the struggle for survival against the Reapers. The OCs often find themselves in the middle of the chaos of the Reaper invasion and have to fight to stay alive. It's a very intense and action - packed theme.
One common theme is the struggle for identity. Quarian OCs often have to figure out who they are outside of the traditional Quarian roles. Another theme is the search for a home. Since Quarians are a nomadic species, their OCs in fanfictions usually long for a true place to belong.
I really liked 'The OC's Andromeda Adventure'. This fanfiction dives deep into the exploration side of Mass Effect Andromeda. The oc teams up with some of the well - known characters from the game. It shows their interactions in a very believable way, and as the story progresses, you see the oc grow and adapt to the challenges of the new galaxy.
One aspect of Mass Effect Andromeda x Halo fanfiction could be the crossover of characters. Imagine Shepard from Mass Effect meeting Master Chief from Halo. Their leadership styles are different but both are highly respected in their respective universes. In fanfiction, they could team up to face a common threat that combines the enemies from both games, like a new type of alien that uses both the Reaper and Covenant technology. This would create a really exciting and unique story.
There's also 'Andromeda's Hope'. This fanfiction features an OC who is a scientist. It dives deep into the scientific aspects of the Andromeda setting, like exploring new planets and understanding the Remnant technology in a unique way. The interactions between the OC and the canon characters are really well - written.
One common theme is self - discovery. Since the character is reincarnated, they often have to figure out who they are in this new life as an asari. Another theme is the struggle with memories from the past life. It can be confusing and sometimes even a hindrance to their new existence.
Well, a typical theme is self - discovery. The reincarnated OC in these fanfictions tries to figure out who they are in this new world. They might have a sense of purpose from their past life that they're trying to fulfill in the Mass Effect setting. Also, power dynamics can be a theme. As they reincarnate, they may gain new abilities or have to deal with different power levels compared to others in the universe. For example, they could be a super - powerful biotic but have to hide it at first.
One common theme is the exploration of cultural differences. Since Tali is a Quarian and the OC is, well, an original creation, their different cultures can lead to interesting interactions. Another theme is adventure. They might go on quests together across the galaxy.
