Dr. Lexi T'Perro (Official Thread)

Vigil says otherwise.

I love friendship stories and I'm pretty intrigued by Lexi's character. She has big shoes to fill (it's that the correct Human English expresion?) because Chakwas was a great character (although she had very limited dialogue in three games). If Lexi interacts way more than Chakwas with the rest of the crew, Lexi will be memorable pretty quickly.
I picture Lexi as a very patient and nurturing character. 

I'm really, really hoping we don't have a female character who's like a "mother figure." These characters are adults, for goodness sake. Even if they're young, I don't think we need a female character to act as their surrogate mother.

I don't feel like Aveline was really a motherly figure. She was there for you like you would expect a close friend to be and called you out when you fucked up like you would expect from a colleague.

I just don't want a "motherly figure" especially since female characters often get relegated to being the "motherly, nurturing" figure in fiction.

I'm bored waiting for Mass Effect: Andromeda, so I am writing fan fiction revolving around Dr. Lexi.

Hypothetically, it takes place in the game during a time where Ryder and the Tempest are busy in a colonization/exploration effort of one of the seven potential habitat worlds.

Everyone is busy in helping set up an initial base camp near the sort of rocky valley we've seen a few times, most recently in the gameplay trailer where Ryder, Cora and Liam fight with those enemies and Ryder uses tactical cloak and stuff.

Anyway, whilst everyone else is busy setting up the base camp, Drack is eager to explore and kill some stuff. Peebee is also eager to explore, thinking there could be some ruins or such in the valley.

Dr. Lexi advises against it, but naturally isn't able to stop Drack or Peebee once their minds have been made up. At the very least, Dr. Lexi makes sure Drack and Peebee are well supplied with water so they don't get dehydrated on the arid planet. She also secretly puts a tracker in their packs so they don't get lost, or she knows where they are if the don't come back later on.

Unfortunately, Ryder and the rest of the squad are preoccupied with a bandit raid on the base camp, just as Drack and Peebee request aide as well from the valley.

To get a very long synopsis short, its a kinda fanfic where Dr. Lexi is forced to rescue Drack and Peebee, but instead of fighting, she relies on her instincts and intelligence to navigate a section of the valley crawling with enemies to safely rescue Drack and Peebee. She also discovers water weakens an hostile alien species they encounter, and uses water as her defense of choice

So how late I am with Dr. Sexi joke?

I would love any situation where the crew has to save the protag and squad   love me unsung heroes

And haha yes I just realized that lol just thought it would be cute if Dr. Lexi is very on everyone about staying well hydrated, and is always stocked with water bottles, and uses them as her weapon of choice, and the moment she realizes that water harms the aliens, it could be a sorta funny meta humorous reference to that infamous twist from Signs   

I actually like that movie though

Yeah I love Nostalgia Critics videos, and I definitely find it hilarious the lack of logic in the film.

I've been wondering the first bit myself, especially Lexi and Kallo, who I think are going to be my two new fave crewmembers
