I do believe this Jaal will be a squadmate, and male. And I'm guessing he'll be a romance only because I doubt Drack will be an option (not only because he's Krogan, but also because I'm getting a badass crazy Grandpa vibe from his design). But all our female squadmates look like they may well be, so having him in addition to Liam will balance things out a bit. As for species, I suppose it could be an Andromedan, but I voted quarian BECAUSE I CAN. And here's the thing about us quarian fans who keeping hoping any mysterious character might be one... All the other major races have already been confirmed to be present. So everyone else's favorite races are in the game and have representation among our squad or as major characters in our crew. We're the only ones who've been left hanging here... So as we brace for potential disappointment that we might not see our favorite species at all, much less have them as major characters or (dare we even hope?) a romance... Yeah, we'll take any hint we can get and gleefully run with it. Everyone knows Space Gypsies can't be trusted. If they bump into you (or you into them) it was obviously to pick your pocket. They might steal the Tempest and we can't have that. 600 years isn't too long to bring a new ship back to the flotilla.

I predict a new, one gender race, and it's happen to be male this time ! This race could be the REAL "genetic destiny" for the asari, making them into something new. I think the protheans were already one gendered ? It never made a big deal because there's only one of them living so the characters probably didn't realise that fact ( and players don't care ) but it's hinted, like when Javik doesn't understand what's up with the men and women bathrooms, or something like that. ( Haven't played the campaign in a while. ) That's a theory - or a fact - I've seen around, don't know how deep it goes though. And honestly, I remember it because it made the asaris thinking the protheans were their goddess funny.

I thought the profile is leonine, more like some of the Cathar. I don't think it's fur though. Bone or cartilage again, I suppose? Andromeda needs a furry race. We need a Wookie analogue. I hope Ryder gets to call someone Chewy. I don't know about Chewy, but definitely we need to some some furry races. They can't all be leathery or boney

Jaal will be our Angaran janitor on the Tempest, after the previous janitor, one over-eager Mr. Jenkins, blew himself up in a curious workplace accident that also permanently disabled the Tempest's single experimental gun turret.
He will be involved in a mystery solving side quest, where a hundred graffitis stating "Milky people go the house" appear all over the Tempest.

I want female Quarian, because dem hips.
If you don't like Quarian ladies hips, you're either gay man or straight woman. I don't think there is a third option.
...meanwhile, I'll be lucky if it's a male Quarian, and we all know I'm busting my luck reserves raw on the exam period.

He's earned the title because he's the estranged brother of Zaeed MOTHERFUCKING Massani, and son of Chuck MOTHERFUCKING Norris. That's right. Chuck Norris once had a relationship with a Quarian, and Kal'Reegar is the result of this relationship. He also counts Garrus MOTHERFUCKING Vakarian and Wrex MOTHERFUCKING Urdnot among his family.

This is really mean, but as Tom Taylorson had previously confirmed Drack and Cora by twitter, responding to sneaky tweeters, all it could take is a 'what do you think about Jaal?' tweet

I stick by my original post that Jaal is a Quarian male based of the name.
"Kal, Kar, Rael, Kenn, Veetor, Hilo, Golo, Lemm, Zaal, Seeto, Ysin
Jaal
Quarian male names are often one-syllable and likely to end in L or N. They may also be two-syllable and when this is the case a vowel ending of "o" is common"

As much as I would love for it to be a Quarian male, it is most likely an Angaran male. I don't mind. I want more new species. I just would have preferred having Quarians over Krogans, who I also like, but not as much as I like Quarians.

I'd bet on Angaran, they seem pretty friendly with MW compared to Kett, so one traveling with Ryder wouldn't be far-fetched. Somehow I completely missed any mention of the word "angaran" on the forums, and also didn't see anyone talk about them after being shown in the gameplay video for some reason. Well, now I know. The gameplay video appeared to showcase part of main mission 4: Hunting the Archon (which is already a cooler name than "Priority: Blah blah blah). I would assume that this Archon is an Andromedan, since we haven't seen that title used for any MW species, and I'd bet it's an important angaran, namely the "Ven Tarev" (spelling?) that Ryder mentioned while talking to Sloane. He's probably needed to secure a peaceful relationship between angarans and MWers, even if they already seem to be getting along. I predict a new, one gender race, and it's happen to be male this time! P.S. I wonder how people would react if he would be available to both genders as romance option, just like Liara, but this would cause shit storm I'm guessing... Well... I'm not saying I'd mind that, to balance things out and all, but an all-male species wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, depending on your definitions. If they bear children, they'd either be considered hermaphroditic or female by current Earth standards. Still, regardless of all that, they could appear and sound "male" when compared to humans. You might even be on to something, since they're different shades of blue and sort of tentacled. It's honestly a bit odd to choose that design when we already have asari. I'd be okay with them replacing asari though.
Ok. Somehow I missed this along the way and can't find any information. What's an Angaran? Go ahead, it's okay. Laugh. Angarans are one of the Andromedan species. I think we've had a few references to them so far, but the one that I remember for sure is the scene in one of the gameplay demos where Ryder is walking around a crime scene scanning items, Reyes says to her that the blood sample that she scanned is 100% Angaran blood. Oh, is that what was said? I couldn't quite catch it and it sounded like "vangaran" to me, which I suppose is close.

If they bear children, they'd either be considered hermaphroditic or female by current Earth standards. Still, regardless of all that, they could appear and sound "male" when compared to humans. Yeah, when someone says one-gendered, but male this time, I'm pretty sure we all mean that they look like males, given that asaris are supposedly... hermaphroditic ? Frankly ,I never listen when they start talking about their gender and reproduction system. ( Super awkward to talk about that with a stranger, really. ) Even though they look 90% like human women. They're just blue with tentacles. (。・_・。) Everyone considers them female. Actually, now I can see our last teammate being a male andromedan and the gay or bi romance. He would be intriguing brand new and I'm pretty sure it would be much less frown upon than with a human or an alien we're already used to, for players that think a gay dude is less cool than a straight one. He would be introduced that way. ( Well, I say that, but I don't know if people still have a problem with gay men in video games. I didn't hear anything when DA:I came out. )

Maybe Jaal is her (she doesn't strike me as male - her slender build, movement and voice has a more female tone to me): Edit: Maybe it is time to talk about the people who are a bit hostile towards us...

Don't you think she looks kett ? Especially the weird shaped armor, the glowing blue parts ( that seem to be part of their body ? ) the shoulders... She's a little different, but that could be the female version of their appereance, with less bone plates and a more elegant figure, turian females change a lot from males too. We haven't seen her face and that's a lot of similarity to be a different race :

I believe that's a Kett as well. And I would certainly guess that Jaal could be a Kett, but, we also have 'The Kett' as a figure. Which I don't think they would do if there were also a named one as well. Just seems like it'd be kind of redundant. So if Jaal is an Andromedan, I'm betting he (she?) is some other species.

Like you I was wondering why she was not mentioned much/ disscussed in the forums after her appearance in the trailer. She was pretty fast dismissed as "Queen Bee of the Kett" and that was it. Like fialka pointed out she could be another species as well. If she is one of our main atagonists I think it is time for BW to reveal a bit more - there is not that much information about antagonists and the waring factions in Andromeda atm.

Here is another pic of that species -- from the outpost where Sloane is set up. Two of them, both blue but in different hues, and pretty stocky builds. Back bending legs with three thick toes. I'll say this about them, I'm kind of digging their clothes. Bright colors, interesting shapes. I'm not mad at them. So, yeah, my guess is that Jaal is one of these guys and a major plot-based squaddie (hence why he's getting his own figure). I don't know... They look weird. Like from modelling clay or something.
