I tend to be one of the following:
The TrooperNever speaks, and rarely spoken to. There is no need for that, as he is always there. If bunkering down somewhere, he is there to back the rest of the squad up, and if someone runs for an objective, he is the one that follows to help clear the way and provide cover. Generally performs averagely on killing things, but a popular guy because he causes no problems.
The HealerVariation of the Trooper. Having played World of Warcraft as a Disc Priest scince its release, unlocking the Geth Engeneer was where he found his true calling. He ignored hunter vision, and is specced for max survival - his turret restores shields faster than Michael Moore can eat a strip of bacon. He is bunkered behind the squad, and you wonder what he actually does. This becomes apparent as you start start noticing that the enemy seems to have no shields them selves, and noone in the squad is on the floor longer than it takes for him to revive them. He finishes 4th on the score board and has 2 awards: +75 assists and +25 revives. You have none in the same category, but that doesn't matter becaue your ego is so big that you have to walk sideways out the door. Deep down inside though, you know that you should be sucking his dick, at least on a weekly basis, for the effort that he makes.
The Eccentric MasterIf Mass Effect was a movie, this guy would be played by John Cleese. He has some sort of hideously bizarre combination of class, mods, and weapons that you would never possibly allow in a normal game, but you were desperate to get going so you let him join. He then proceeds to clean up the entire map and make you all look like chumps despite being armed with a combination that no sane, rational individual would ever choose. You later try his build and do predictably terrible with it, then spend the next half hour wondering how he was able to pull it off.
The SniperYou see him in the lobby, and you know that he entered the game because the combat log shows it. From there on noone sees him - enemy included. You can hear him once in a while - distant gunfire and his game score, which rests comfortably 10.000 above your own are proof of his presence. When you are about to be extracted, you continue wonder where he is, as only 3 guys are in the zone. Despite of this, you still get the "Full Extraction" ward. Rushing to the lobby to see what he was playing and with what gun is futile - he is gone, and now you can't remember his name.
The One Mand Wolf PackAt some point an Asari Adept got frisky with a Krogan Soldier. This was their unholy offspring. When you see him defiling the sactity of your Gold lobby, it is only of your good heart that you allow him to join the game. You immediately regret this as he sprints off on his own at the start of wave 1, and you damn him to the far reaches of hell when his is never around to revive your sorry ass. On the other hand he is never in need of a revive, so why bother raging? It is not untill wave 9 when you and the 2 other campers are trying to fight off a Phantom in the tower of FB:Dagger that you understand what is going on. While you were 1 guitar short of of singing Kumbaya in your camp, wondering why no targets appeared, he was doing unspeakable things to the enemy on the level below you.
