Author has written 4 stories for Mass Effect.

Feel free to call me by any variation of the name "Hyperbali," though I go by waaay too many names. Too much time on the internet, I suppose.

Mostly into video games, comics, movies, and the occasional anime. I can typically be found drawing, so I'll try to keep my stories illustrated with a picture or two.
