Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

I wouldn't be surprised if all the LIs were no older than their 30s (well, relative to their race's lifespan). After all, Ryder is only 22.

I'm totally on board with Garrus + Javik = Jaal. Garrus I adored for obvious reasons; badass, supportive best friend turned cavity sweet boyfriend. His sarcasm was in par with my Shep's humor, and his character arc was brilliant. I also loved Javik in ME3; he took his time warming up to my Shep, and understandably so. He had a certain unapproachable/distinguished air to him too, so when he finally started treating my Shep as a friend I honestly felt so proud. Also, he was goddamn funny.

Dr. Liara T'Soni: I've written over a dozen studies on your species. I've published in several journals...

Javik: Amusing. Asari have finally mastered writing.
--
Javik: I told Liara that Protheans invented electricity. Heh heh. Asari will believe anything.
--
Javik: Your "Joker" pilot insists I call myself "Prothy the Prothean." I insisted he allow me to throw him out the airlock.

Also, they both had amazing voice actors. If Jaal is anything like either of them I'll be a happy Ryder (no pun intended....kinda).

Funny thing, ME:A releases on my 22nd birthday!

I have only one thing to say about Jaal.
He's my new favorite kittybunny space boyfriend...


Oh, and when I googled for Jaal, I learned that Jaal is Hindi/Urdu for trap or forgery... This worries me a great deal...

Damn it I KNEW it!

For future reference: if you ever see me in the early thread for a BioWare game character in the future, RUN. 

Ajna :-*
I'll come by the chat again this week, have to visit it more often again. I miss you guys.

Oh and where else would I end up XD I'm pretty predictable when it comes to my fictional boyfriends. Hhrhrhrhr

Regarding 'trap'... It could be a coincidence but BW researches their names so they do know what it means. And they've still chosen the name for him. It could be his job, you know, like he is a spy or something. Or he is a trap for poor Sara. I guess I better prepare for broken hearts and tears.

I fear so yes... What did we do to deserve this?
But... Even knowing this I'll go in and do all the banging with him. What's wrong with me? XD

Opposite might happen too. Salarians had shorter lifespans than humans, only 40 years in human age. Wouldn't that suck if you found out that Jaal was actually near end of his life?

EDIT: Also something to wonder if we have Salarian LI.

There are a few names that mean something in my native language (kallo = skull, kosta = revenge) so maybe it's just a coincidence... Surely...
Or maybe those names aren't coincidences either... 

What was about Solas that has gotten so many people scared of uttering his name?

*says Solas*

But oh god, BioWare don't make Jaal's name have a hidden meaning This whole oh the romances have to be like real life so expect rejection and heartbreak thing is really starting to grind my beef. You want realism in your games? Go make The Sims. Don't make Jaal be a trap or forgery or anything that will break my heart

I don't really think we're getting something like Solas romance in ME, it's not ME style, their stories are usually much more straightforward, no? When they screw you with a romance it seems is more out of carelessness (see Jacob) than anything else And Jaal, as the exotic andromedian squadmate, probably will have a big enough rol to play for something like that to happen, if I had to guess.

There's a first time for everything though And I have to say that I don't totally hate the idea, even if I usually prefer a happy ending, because IMO it almost guarantees at least an interesting story

I'm just a teeny bit concerned since in ME females are more likely to get screwed in the romance section than males(except with Garrus who is just ). Thane and Jacob come to mind in this, really disappointed how they were handled in ME3. Even tho stuff of the past it still kinda stings, really really liked Thane.
