Thinking about Miranda's line that she's not the first one her father made, just the first one that he kept.
Thinking about how she describes herself as having been tailor-made: looks, biotics, the whole deal.
Thinking about her age and how humans were just barely learning about biotics when her father began his tinkering.
Thinking about how biotics requires in-utero exposure to eezo and how many of those infants developed cancer and birth defects instead of biotics. Thinking about how few actually developed usable biotic potential.
Thinking about how many older sisters Miranda never even knew about.

My first finished comm this year
This was a challenging artwork for me due to the amount of detail and complex lighting, but I really enjoyed experimenting in the process and found cool features for myself

My Shepard sucks at biotics. In many ways.
BUUUT I recently re-played that one mission on Illium where you get exposed to Minagen X3 ((thanks @mallaidhsomo for reminding me of its name)) and thought I could make something out of it.
Quick recap for those who don't know what it is ; it's an illegal chemical that boosts biotics, but a large quantity can be lethal to the user.
#I'm a sucker for ME2's biotic effects#I need to draw the silly comic in medbay with Shepard and Jack wheezing their lungs out after that while getting lectured by Chakwas#garrus was just standing there for the whole mission like ''you guys know it's toxic right ?''#and Jack'd be like ''YEAH BUT LOOK AT THIS'' and explode half the building#mass effect#commander shepard#mass effect fanart#mass effect 2#marcus shepard#custom shepard#biotics#IT'S DONE#I'M DONE#MY ENERGY IS GONE#IT'S 6 AM#GOODNIGHT PEOPLE#orange and blue hell yeah

It's almost criminal we didn't see any quarian biotics. They'd make perfect Sentinels.

how do you guys think do biotics affect human physiology? other than possible implant side effects like migraines, increased appetite, and obviously being able to manipulate dark energy. there must be more differences? being exposed to such an element changes the way one’s brain is wired, so there must be more than just that..

N7 Month 2022 - Day 7: Free Space - Biotics
"The leader of these mercenaries is in the next room.
I shall toss Wasea about like a rag doll!
I will tear her apart. My biotics are unstoppable!"

Biotic Flora and Fauna of Thessia**
TW: Arachnids
Thessia, the homeworld of the Asari, is so rich in Element Zero that it permeates all living beings that evolved there. This has resulted in many of the flora and fauna of Thessia exhibiting low-level biotic capabilities that are used for defense and hunting. There is some evidence to support the idea that very early Asari may have discovered the most basic uses of biotics through observing other Fauna affected by the high Eezo content of Thessia’s environment. The predominant theory, with the recent discovery of Prothean involvement in Asari evolution, is that the Protheans actively instructed the Asari in the use of biotics when they began to develop.
Biotic capabilities appear to occur more frequently in the fauna of Thessia, but there are also several notable examples of specific capabilities in the flora, and all life on Thessia seems to have some level of dependence on the presence of Eezo and biotic fields.
Examples of Biotic Fauna*:
Felis Acantho
While there are several subspecies of Felis Acantho—commonly known as Spined Panthers—they have enough biological similarity to group them together for the purposes of this article. In addition to short fur that helps these mid-sized wild cats thermoregulate, most of their bodies are also covered in sharp quills that provide protection from larger predators. Adult Spined Panthers range in size, typically weighing between 30 and 45 pounds, growing to 1-1.5 feet tall, with an average length from nose to tail of 30 inches. These wild cats are typically found in temperate or tropical grasslands, with the larger subspecies tending toward grasslands in which the average height of the grass is at least 24 inches.
In addition to the hunting methods more typical of Earth’s wild cats, Felis Acantho have a limited ability to create and manipulate biotic fields. Studies of their hunting patterns and behavior indicate that they locate and identify their favored prey—Rattus Maculosus—through a unique interaction of biotic fields. Unfortunately for the Spined Panther, this interaction of biotic fields also alerts the prey to their presence. To counteract this, they are able to produce small biotic fields similar to stasis fields. These fields do not completely halt the movement of the prey, but manipulate the mass of the air around the prey in such a way that they are slowed significantly. In order for this to work effectively, the Panther must react quickly to the presence of their prey, producing this slowing field before the prey has time to escape its range or use its own biotic defenses.
Rattus Maculosus
Rattus Maculosus—the Spotted Rat—is a species of large rat, with an average length of 11 inches (including their tails, which are typically the longest part of their bodies), and weighing up to 2 pounds. They are easily distinguished by their colorful spots, which are frequently deep purples or blues against varying shades of grey. Thessian rats, like those of Earth, are adaptable creatures that can survive in nearly any environment, and as such, these rats can be found in almost any biome capable of sustaining plant life and water. Spotted rats live in shallow burrows and are omnivorous scavengers, primarily subsisting on carrion and edible flora.
The biotic capabilities of Rattus Maculosus appear to be entirely defensive in nature. They have the ability to detect biotic fields and identify whether those fields belong to a predator. Upon detecting the presence of a predator, Spotted Rats have the ability to produce a surprisingly strong barrier field. If done quickly enough, it can prevent the predator from using its own biotic abilities effectively. Additionally, like many other prey animals on Thessia, Rattus Maculosus have the ability to manipulate their own mass to increase their own speed, allowing them to move at nearly double their normal velocity and making them much more difficult to catch.
Hoplites Pedetes, Hyphantes Erythros, and Indagator Polypictus
Thessia is home to several hundred species of spider with biotic capabilities that tend to be similar across jumping, weaver, and ground spiders. As such, three primary common species are covered here.
Hoplites Pedetes—Armored Jumping Spiders—are large spiders, with bodies that tend to be disproportionately small in comparison to the length of their legs. The largest of these has grown to nearly 10 inches, with its legs being roughly 7 inches long and its body roughly 3 inches. These spiders vary in color, usually depending on their environment, and can be anything from dull browns and greys to vibrant blues and greens. Armored Jumping Spiders are named as such for the protruding growths on their legs that seem to imitate bracers or greaves. They are capable of manipulating biotic fields to increase the distance they are able to jump by nearly three times.
Hyphantes Erythros—Red Weavers—are small in comparison to Hoplites Pedetes, but perhaps more terrifying. Growing to a maximum size of 2 inches, with their legs comprising over half that size, Red Weavers are typically found in dense forest or jungle biomes. While most spiders tend to be solitary, Red Weavers live in communal webs and hunt in packs. Their biotic fields are so in tune with other members of their hunting packs that it allows them to work in concert so precisely that escape is impossible once caught in a web.
Indagator Polypictus—Many Painted Hunters—are solitary ground spiders, larger than Red Weavers and smaller than Armored Jumping Spiders at an average of 5 inches, with 3 inches of that being their legs. They come in a variety of colors, and much like Earth’s chameleon, are capable of adapting their coloration to their surroundings in order to camouflage themselves. When hunting, they are capable of producing small stasis fields to immobilize their prey for consumption.
Examples of Biotic Flora*:
Orchis Chortinos
Orchis Chortinos—Grass Orchids—are a species of Orchid that is most common in Tropical Grasslands, but can occasionally be found in other environments. They are called Grass Orchids not for the locations in which they are most common, but because their coloration tends toward similarity to the pale greens and blues of the majority of Thessia’s grass species. These orchids use low-level biotic fields to propagate, rather than relying on the planet’s fauna to pollinate. These low-level fields lift and carry pollen across great distances, and as such, Orchis Chortinos is one of the most common flowers on Thessia
Cephalotus Brevis
Cephalotus Brevis—Small-Headed Pitcher Plant—is a small pitcher plant which is primarily found in the jungle. They typically grow in triplets, and often several triplets will form a small community near ponds and other relatively stagnant bodies of water where there is a high population of insects. In addition to the beautiful variety of colors, these pitcher plants use extremely low-level biotic fields to create something that has been described as an inaudible hum that attracts the local insects to it.
Lilium Infectus
Lilium Infectus—Dyed Lilies—are a beautiful variety of Thessian lilies whose petals, no matter their color, have a tie-dyed appearance. While they do not exhibit any active biotic capabilities, Lilium Infectus have, for several centuries, been commercially cultivated for their high eezo content. Consumption of these lilies can provide slight boosts in biotic abilities, and as such, is common among the Asari. In non-Asari species, Dyed Lilies have been discovered to have some intoxicating effects, though it is possible to build a tolerance over time that negates these effects. Lilium Infectus is generally safe for consumption, and is most frequently sold in the form of a tea. It is, however, also a base ingredient necessary for the production of Red Sand, and is highly regulated commercially.
This is, of course, not a comprehensive list of Thessia’s biotic flora and fauna. It is simply meant to give a few broad stroke ideas as to the nature of the effects of Eezo on Thessia’s rich wildlife.
*Please note all common and scientific names are translated to Alliance Standard for the purposes of this article and are not necessarily a perfect reflection of what these species may be called by the Asari
**Brought to you by my inability to have a singular thought about biotics without immediately jumping down a rabbit hole

Ok question for the mass effect fans out there, it's pretty much cannon that biotics make your metabolism faster right? Jack makes a comment about how she's never hung over because her biotics burn the alcohol away so fast. So my question is, would that also apply to things like medications? Say someone had a condition that required a certain dosage, would they need more to see the same results? And does anyone know if it's based on like, how often someone used their biotics or is it just a background effect?
Biotics is the one topic in mass effect I know almost nothing about since I've only ever played half of me1 using them 😅 and I don't currently have space for the games to boot it up and talk to Kaiden and Jack lmao. Atp even just widely accepted fannon cause ya girl is struggling 😭.
#pls help#i am in need of mass effect wisdom#mass effect#biotics#i love how i pick the one thing i cant just readily look up as like a main plot point#mass effect lore#i need to use biotics more#and maybe at least try and pay attention to kaiden 😅#i promise i actually do like him

Started as a speed painting with a limited color palette, but I definitely spent way too much time on it to call it that anymore. Anyway, have a Kaidan! ^^

Biotic Headcanons
Everyone has a distinct signature which can be felt and interacted with, more so if they’re deeply tied emotionally.
2176: Shenko
Inside his cramped cabin, Kaidan sat hunched over, his hands covering his face. He could feel her moving through the ship like some tremendous force; his foot tapped rapidly on the floor, attempting to battle the fucking awful physical ache of having her in close quarters.
How could he feel this, but she felt nothing?
When Eris inevitably entered his room, he didn't lift his gaze. It wasn’t a surprise when she slurred her way through six words. “I want…. My stuff… And things…”
2179: Shenko
Three months of messages go unread, and he gives up. Fifteen months later, Eris finally broke her silence three days ago with a one-line email containing a hotel name, date, and time. The audacity of the woman who burned through his life like a comet never failed to astound him.
The storm raging outside was oddly soothing as Kaidan leaned on the balcony door frame, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. He’d been in pause mode for years, just killing time waiting for her. He did not respond, and he did not go. Through the mix of desolation and doubt, he feels her tumultuous force rushing towards him.
Of course, she would come here.
Longing rose sharply with fury riding on its back. It’s an unfamiliar, unpleasant mix, and it feels dangerous. The door bangs open and shut. Eris isn’t trying to hide that she’s broken in, which isn’t a good sign. There’s no click of heels on his expensive oak floor, no boots thudding. Her footsteps are softly padding, which means she’s barefoot.
He thinks she stops somewhere behind the couch and opposite the fridge, around six feet away from him. But he’s running on empty and tells himself he doesn’t care, keeps his back to her; he cannot trust himself to so much as glance at her. “A locked door means the person on the other side would rather be left alone.”
2186: Shrios
But for a Goddess who dealt death and considered every life including her own expendable, saving him was markedly out of character. Thane surreptitiously observed her from the corner of his eye, the brass lamp on the balcony illuminating the look of a too-heavy life on her face.
Eris squeezed her eyes shut, steadying herself against the glass. Her fingers tapped the window in the same manner as when she sleepwalked, making him realise his mistake.
In an act of sheer desperation, she ignored the waves of wrongness, the screeching of their biotics grinding as she took one step, then another, in his direction. “Is that truly how you think I see you?”
