EDIT 2/26/2013: Been four months since I posted this, and it looks like Bioware was listening; the new Reckoning DLC includes the Awakened Collector Adept as a playable character! He seems to have some unique powers, including Seeker Swarms... unfortunately, he's also an Ultra-Rare, which means I can't even play as my dream character until I get lucky enough. Darn it.

This is a proposal for a playable Collector character; the Leviathan DLC makes this viable, since the Leviathans have the power to indoctrinate Reaper forces. Thus, it isn't lore breaking.

Collector Thrall (Adept)

-
Dominate
Singularity
Throw
-
Enthralled
Fitness

Description:

The Collectors are an enigmatic race from beyond the unmapped Omega 4 Relay that possess bizarre and highly advanced organic technology, including chitinous armor and weapons unlike anything see anywhere else in the galaxy. They were recently discovered to be agents of the Reapers, husks created from the extinct Prothean race, and are infamous for their part on the abduction of dozens of human colonies in the Attican Traverse in 2185.

The Collector Thrall is a Collector Captain indoctrinated by the Leviathans, the Reaper's mysterious creators. With the power to enslave Reaper forces, the Leviathans have made several Collectors into disposable soldiers who wield powerful biotics, as well as the ability to indoctrinate other organic beings, including other Reaper troops.

Biotic Dash (Dodge)
A biotic fueled dodge that drains a small amount of barriers when used. Also used by Asari characters.

Collector Blade (Light Melee)
This is the same chitinous blade that you see normal Collector Troopers and captains using, and serves as the Thrall's light melee.

Barrier Pulse (Heavy Melee)
Similar to the Geth's Shield Pulse heavy melee; when you hold down the Melee button, the Collector Thrall rears back, sending out pulses of biotic energy that disintigrate enemies within range while draining your barriers. The disintigration effect is the same as the Collector Sniper Rifle.

Regeneration (Character Trait)
The Collector Thrall has the ability to fully regenerate health, though not as quickly as Vorcha.

Ancient Technology
(Character Trait)
The 'Enthralled' passive skill grants the Collector Thrall a bonus to weapon damage for Collector and Prothean weapons, much like the Geth's unique weapon damage bonus.

Leviathan's Wrath (Voice Set)
As one of it's thralls, Leviathan comunicates through the Collector Thrall Adept much like Harbinger did with his possessed drones in Mass Effect 2. His dialogue is somewhat similar to Harbinger's but he also has unique lines specific to Leviathan himself. Potential dialogue listed below; just afew examples:

"Assuming direct control" (Use Dominate)

"Our vengeance is at hand"
(Start of match)

"Fulfill your purpose"
(Revive teamate)

"They pay their tribute in blood"
(Wave cleared)

"Protect this vessel"
(Enable/Disable objective)

"Witness our power"
(Use any power)

Post you thoughts.

Seriously Mister?

Magnificient work. The link to leviathan is pretty much the best idea to implement those darn bugs.

It's more plausible than cloned Protheans.

Funny, a friend of mine wanted to have a collector as playable. While, I'm not against the idea, I always kept saying thats like wanting to have a reaper unit as playable.

That said, I haven't bothered with the Leviathan DLC but after reading that description I do have to say I'm intrigued. Might have to invest in that DLC after all...

I like this. This would be a nice addition to the game. I like the one for reviving, "Fulfill your purpose." That sounds almost like an eerie and threatening way to get someone back up. +1

I doubt this will ever happen, but I like it! :D
It's bending the lore a teensy bit, but Bioware managed to pull the Volus off well, I'm sure they could do this.

It is really not lorebreaking, the Leviathans clearly have the power to control Reaper forces.

So why couldn't they control a group of Collectors to help with the war? I would love to see a playable Collector character.

I don't get these naysayers. Why not? It would only be more fun. It's not like MP cares much about lore anyway.

I suppose if Bioware were to come out and say "MP doesnt have anything to do with SP" , then cut all ties they share (GaW, War assets, etc) then I'd be okay with them adding anything.


Actually, I dont even know why I still care about the lore.

You are aware that there are two playable Volus characters right now, right? Along with two more to arrive in the future?

Yes please LOL. It looks like fun and its more constructive than most classes now. Singularity is great now, and Throw is universally amazing for the low cool down, and Dominate is just added benefit.

It would be great if we could get a Bioware comment, but I don't think that will happen...

I would really love to play such a character though.
