-- Human with Biotics born on Gagarin Station.
Biotics is the ability of some lifeforms to create mass effect fields using element zero nodules embedded in body tissues. These powers are accessed and augmented by using bio-amps. Biotic individuals can knock enemies over from a distance, lift them into the air, generate gravitational vortices to tear obstacles or enemies apart, or create protective barriers.
Most modern human biotics use the Alliance's L3 implant, which are not particularly powerful but are safe to use. However, some older biotics are stuck with L2 implants, which allow abilities to spike higher—Kaidan Alenko's abilities are reportedly comparable to an asari's—but at a significant cost. L2 implants are notorious for causing severe medical complications such as insanity, mental disability, and crippling pain. It is possible to "upgrade" from an L2 to an L3 implant, but the procedure is rarely performed because it carries a very high risk of brain damage. Many L2s feel the Alliance has not provided them with sufficient medical or financial support and want reparations for their suffering. In some cases, extreme physical or psychological stress can cause even normally stable L2s to experience similar health problems.
All biotics seeking to wield their abilities on a usable level are fitted with an electronic brain implant during puberty. Once the implant is installed, it can only be replaced or altered through extremely dangerous brain surgery, so most individuals keep the same implant their entire lives. Biotics are classed according to their implant model and the strength of their ability:
L1 - These biotics can manipulate small objects, but their abilities are not strong enough to be offensively viable, because the L1s were implanted after puberty.
L2 - The L2 implants were first implemented in 2167. The results vary wildly - some L2s are hardly stronger than an L1, others are strong but unstable, while a few are powerful and stable enough for combat, though they usually suffer some discomfort from their implants. L2s are all around the same age.
L3 - In 2170, the L3 implant was developed. L3 biotics are consistently stable with moderate ability; while their upper limit is less than an L2, L3s are safe from dangerous side effects. Because of the implementation date, most L3s are 25 or younger. Some are older, having been implanted later in life.
L3-R - Short for 'L3-retrofit', this is an L1 or L2 who has undergone extremely dangerous brain surgery to replace their implant with a newer model.
L3-X - Implants installed in an unsuitable candidate.
L3-X1 - Experimental implants tested at Grissom Academy in 2186.
L4 - A new implant used on the children in the Ascension Project; these implants use biotic amplifiers with built-in VI interfaces to enable external monitoring and enhance the user's abilities. L4 implants give a 10-15% increase in power over L3s in 90% of subjects with no currently known side effects.
L5x - In 2185, Adepts are outfitted with L5x implants.
L5n - In 2185, Vanguards are outfitted with L5n implants.
GENERAL FACTS
Name: Caspian Seneca
Nickname: Cas
Birthday: December 3rd
Age: Twenty-Nine
Race/Species: Human
Sex/Gender: Male
Sexual Preference Females
Abilities: -
Biotics------
♦Nova - Nova inflicts a high amount of damage to surrounding enemies, pushing them back and sending them soaring into the air.
♦Barrier - Barrier surrounds the user with a high-gravity mass effect field essentially strengthening the person's shields for a certain period of time Barriers do not protect against physical damage like melee attacks, debris or environmental hazards.
♦Reave - The power employs mass effect fields to biotically attack the target's nervous or synthetic systems and prevent healing.
♦Stasis - Stasis causes an enemy to be temporarily locked in a mass effect field, freezing the target in place and making them unable to attack. Enemies in Stasis also become impervious to damage.
Other-------
♦ Deadly accuracy with Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles.
♦ A knack for hacking and programming

History
Caspian was born on Gagarin Station to two human cadets in training for biotics. After the two were sent away for breaking the terms and conditions (Preventing pregnancy- Celibacy), Caspian was kept on the station as repercussion against the couple. The boy grew up without parents, and became known as The Gagarin Project from day one. Before he was even at legal age, scientists gave Caspian Biotics; replacing them whenever he grew. He became an experiment, and lived as one until Gagarin Station was shut down for malpractice. It was intended that he would be killed so that the project would remain a secret, but the now- seventeen year old escaped on a trade ship as cargo. He was discovered, of course, and taken into custody by The Alliance. Given an ultimatum, Caspian chose to undergo training in the military over death. With time, Caspian became a capable asset to The Alliance, and promotions came naturally. It was not long before the man earned the title of Commander, along with his own crew and ship: The Colossus.
