I don't know if there's been a similar thread before.
I just thought I'd post a ridiculous idea here:

I'd love to have a male asari for quadmate in ME3. I know, there are no male asari. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen once in a trillion birth or something. Genetic error, whatever.
This male asari might live hidden somewhere because he's seen as a monster. There he's nurtured some fury and hatred for the world. Shepard finds him by accident and gets him to channel his anger and fight the reapers. He could replace Jack as the psychotic one on board.
Or different scenario: his uniqueness has made him famous. He's a celebrity. Very handsome, too, of course, as are all asari. Just need to think of a plausible story to explain him joining the mission... he'd need some skills, of course.

Is this an insane idea?!

I think it could be kind of cool to see a male Asari but at the same time the possibility of such a thing happening is very unlikely given that the way Asari are essentially means a male Asari being born would be like a tree frog sprouting feathers.



Still they could claim something along the lines of him being born by inheriting too much of the male genes from his father or even being made in a lab. It would be interesting and cool to see a male version of the Asari.

Some asked this on the old forums.



I feel better equipped to react to this post because of it.

[Kronner]

There is no male or female asari, so yeah, it is insane idea.

[Kid_SixXx]

Asari are neither male nor female.

That being said, I am not sure I want to trade one psycho for another.

I think I'd rather see a female Turian squadmate.

Asari are monogendered.... so there are no male or female genders. Asari take no genetic information from their partners... they just use their partners to randomize their own. Read the codex and it will explain this to you in better detail. So it is not possible to have a male asari. They are all "female".

Perhaps “male” asari do exist. Perhaps they are a one in a trillion fluke now, but in millennia past they were more common, and those who lived became abominable monsters that eclipsed even ardat yakshi in sheer unfathomable horror.

Hybrid creatures able to mate with a subject with just a look, able to gain complete dominance over the subject's mind in a terrifying parallel to Reaper indoctrination, these abominations of buried asari history mated at random,
indiscriminately, turning thousands into mindless drones and pitting the asari's ancient tribal society against itself in a series of devastating wars that left millions dead.

Each one as strong in biotics as the most seasoned Matriarch, they were seemingly unstoppable. It was this
cataclysmic conflict that united the disparate peoples of the asari for a brief time, the matriarchs gathering under a common banner to exterminate these horrors. Once they were finally defeated and killed, any “male” asari henceforth was murdered at birth, lest the abominations should rise again. And now, thanks to highly advanced technology and a more complete understanding of the melding process itself, such hybrid creatures are nearly nonexistent, without a documented case in over six thousand years.

Any and all records of the abominations were destroyed in later civil wars when the tribes broke apart, and their existence in any shape or form is denied by every accepted authority on asari history, the memory of those ancient times buried far, far deeper even than the origins of the ardat yakshi.

….......Yeah, I think this idea is pretty far-fetched.

Yeah yeah, I get that the asari just look female. So let me rephrase it: "male LOOKING asari"...

Anyway, nature has produced so many weird mutations, why not a "male" asari? Just because the asari mate without mixing genetic matrial, doesn't mean it couldn't happen somehow. It's a game, you can explain anything! Doesn't really need to make sense. Shepard was brought back from the dead, for Christ's sake! ;0)

Who knows what else Cerberus or some other crazy organization can do!

I want my "male" asari *g*



How about cross-breeds?? Insane idea again? Would have to happen via artificially insemination, I suppose. But that would make for some creative approaches for a ME3 squadmate. If BW wants to provide new characters again.



Yes, female turians please!! But not as a replacement for Garrus.

But most of all I want a male quarian. But since Tali is so popular and will probably stay, I doubt we'll have two of the same species on the team. Damn.

[Kid_SixXx]

Not to shoot down your idea, but breeding with an Asari always produces an Asari.  I don't think you can really "cross-breed" to get a "male" asari because they will always turn out monogendered with a female appearance.

Also, Asari reproduce by parthenogenesis.  They sample DNA and reproduce asexually so I don't think that you could artificially inseminate an Asari.

i'd rather a female krogan.

that would be.........interesting.

[Siansonea]

Maybe Cerberus has a secret scientific facility somewhere that experiments on aliens, and they created a "male" asari, but somehow things went awry and Commander Shepard/Captain Anderson/Kahlee Sanders or somebody has to come along and save the day.



By the way, asari grow babies in their tummies. They are FEMALE, or at the very least quasi-hermaphroditic. Mono-gendered does not mean genderless. DEAL.

[Dinkamus_Littlelog]

asari are all *female* They are mono-gendered, and that "mono-gender" is female. Its not hard to understand. That is what the codex in the game will tell you.

Also, asari basically "clone" themselves, but just shake up their own genetic information by linking nervous systems with another person. The game also explains this numerous times - no hybrids, just another asari with a slightly randomised genetic code compared to her mother.

Liara does say she isn't exactly female in ME1. However a species that has "female" characteristics would suddenly have "male" characteristics would seem odd. Asari are Asari... single gendered. Closest would be what you implied... hermaphroditic (between Asari)... "single gendered" to non-Asari. So there are no female and no male Asari.... Asari just have female characteristics.

[Siansonea]

Well, to be precise, Liara says she 'isn't exactly a woman'. Which is true. A 'woman' is a female human. But she IS female. Here's the breakdown:

Female organism: Has egg cells, lays eggs or bears live young grown inside the body.
Male organism: Contributes to reproduction by providing genetic material to the daughter organism, sometimes facilitates reproduction in other ways.
Neuter/non-gendered organism: Does not possess functional reproductive structures. Does not contribute to reproduction, which is accomplished by other subtypes of the species.
Hermaphroditic organism: Possesses working reproductive structures of male and female organisms.

All advanced organisms MUST have some type of female, to grow new individuals to replace those that die out. Males and neuter subtypes are optional, depending on the specifics of the species in question. Even species that reproduce by asexual reproduction fulfill the requirements of being classified as female.

Making babies is the defining trait of female organisms. We know asari make babies, so they are female. Of course, they can also 'father' babies, but so can organisms of other species and genders. A human female can father an asari baby. But that doesn't make the human female a hermaphrodite. So asari can't even really be classified as hermaphrodites, since there is no specifically male structure in their biology that we know of or can infer.

[tmk]

Hermaphroditic organisms can make babies. That is, those that are naturally hermaphroditic, not the ones that are deviations of normally heterosexual species (like human "hermaphrodites" that really are misdeveloped males/females - those of course can't). Physiologically, asari essentially make themselves pregnant, so they must have both "female" organ[s] (which produce eggs) and "male" organ[s] (which produce whatever "activates" the eggs). Unless of course they activate the eggs directly with biotics during melding.

A Geth Salarian? 

Idk...for once I'd rather FIND my squadmates like in ME1 than have Dossier, Picture

Some Idiot talking smack in a bar, and then this female krogan walks up to him, tells him to chill or shes gonna have her way with him, he doesnt stand down and she just picks him up and throws him out the bar, shepard stops infront of the whole thing, and your have just been introduced to your future companion, Glenda The Female Krogan Bouncer.... it would also be somewhat of a alusion to those of us that meet Wrex down the Club in the Original game...

A male Asasi would probably be an omen or a chosen one. Asari traits point to there being male Asari at some point in the distant past. Something happened...



Would Shepard be such a macho, super badass that he could knock up Liara with the first male Asari in 10,000+ years?



I say... hell yeah.Make it so...
