Character name: Kasumi Goto
Fandom: Mass Effect
Timeline: End of her mission in Mass Effect 3 where she goes to steal things work on the crucible.
Age: 36ish, never stated.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Kasumi has no magical abilities but her agility and flexibility are greatly above standard for the average human. She’s trained as a thief, able to hack into computer mainframes, bypass DNA scanners, guards and the most advanced security monitoring software to steal whatever it is she’s been assigned to collect. She’s excellent in close quarters combat and hand to hand, knowing how to fight and kill with the least amount of notice drawn to herself. She’s never been caught and very few people can put a name to her face because it’s always hidden behind a hood. This makes spotting her in a crowd more difficult where she’s likely to be mistaken as a quarian before she can be caught. She also has the ability to disappear as soon as she appeared both physically and in record, there are no electronic files of a criminal record for her and knows how to operate completely off of the grid.
How would they use their abilities?: Kasumi uses her abilities to steal things. It can be anything from information to the head of the statue of liberty, but she prefers to take smaller objects that don’t require a crane. Generally, Kasumi uses her abilities to the highest bidder along with what piques her interest. If the job is a challenge, Kasumi will likely take it on merely for the entertainment value. She’s always amused by the shock the galactic community has once they realize that one tiny thief managed to outsmart them once again. She does have morals and certain jobs or objectives she’ll decline from for the sake of her own sanity.
Appearance: Kasumi is a slight japanese woman, standing at 5’2” and always wearing a dark coloured armoured bodysuit with an attached hood. Most of her face is always obscured by her hood, her only distinct facial features are the purple tattoos she had on her lip and chin. Her eyes seem to be a dark colour, either black or a dark brown but are, again, obscured by her hood.

Background/Personality: Kasumi is a vibrant person, impatient at times but she enjoys teasing and getting a rise out of others. Being the master thief of the galaxy, Kasumi has a cocky attitude when it comes to her skills and often enjoys flaunting it. She often ignores authority, following along only if it’s a mutually beneficial kind of authority, outside of that she’ll make her own decisions for her course of actions.
When Kasumi is first met, this disrespect of authority can be seen in how she addresses Commander Shepard. Shepard is looking for Kasumi to assist in taking down the Collectors (a group of mutant aliens abducting human colonies) with Kasumi’s skilling in hacking, infiltration and general ability to sneak around undetected she’s a wanted asset to Shepard’s team. Kasumi addresses Shepard from an advert board, her tone cheerful and teasing, never taking the Commander’s authority terribly seriously until Shepard offers to assist her on a heist.
When asked about the heist Kasumi explains that it’s into the vault of an elitist billionaire Donovan Hock that has something that is rightfully hers. The item in question is her partner and lover, Keji Okuda’s, Greybox. The Greybox is a storage system of her lover’s memories and Kasumi suspects that he left something there for her that he discovered and was killed for by Donovan Hock. Fortunately, Hock was unsuccessful in accessing the Greybox and had it locked in his vault.
Kasumi’s skills are really shown here and the fact that she is not all fun and games. When it comes to her work Kasumi is serious, plotting every possible angle that could go wrong in the heist and making amendments as Shepard progresses through Hock’s party and into his vault. Kasumi even plans far enough ahead to smuggle in weapons and armor for Shepard, as well as sneak herself in undetected. Once in the vault though Kasumi grabs Keji’s Greybox and she and Shepard are forced to fight their way out through a long series of Eclipse mercenaries. At the end, Kasumi and Shepard are faced with Hock in a gunship, and after taking down the gunship’s barriers Kasumi, through a series of astounding acrobatics, lands on the gunship and disables it’s shields to which allows Shepard to take down the gunship and Hock himself.
The death of Hock allows Kasumi some closure to Keiji’s death, the retrieval of the Greybox as well. But when she activates it to listen to Keiji and his hologram it’s very obvious that despite as cocky and effervescent as she is, it’s very obvious that she hasn’t allowed herself the time to move on or properly grieve for Keiji. Even telling Shepard that if he wanted her to know such things then he shouldn’t have died in the first place. The information that is given to her is a large secret that would potentially put the Alliance (The human military force) in jeopardy. Shepard convinces Kasumi to delete Keiji’s memories and to go off the grid if they come back from the Collector’s base.
Talking with Kasumi it can be seen that she’s a romantic at heart, holding a love for art and culture, reading old antique paperback novels as well as having old statues of Greek philosophers and paintings in her space. She even keeps roses which she admits to being her calling cards when she first started her career as a thief, which was silly but she enjoyed the old-world notion of a rose’s meaning. She does have a case of kleptomania, enjoying stealing almost anything and everything she can, including that of information on the ship’s crew and their personal lives.
Meeting up with Kasumi during the Reaper invasion, she’s tipped off a salarian spectre, Jordum Bau, to the fact that a hanar on the Citadel might be indoctrinated and plotting on taking down the hanar homeworld. Bau requests assistance from Shepard and admitting that he was tipped off by Kasumi whom he had been tracking and trying to arrest for several years to no avail. He also extends how much he respects her and how she amazes him to avoid detection from even the spectres. Kasumi also extends the similar feelings about Bau, while hiding nearby Shepard under her tactical cloak. Kasumi assists Bau and Shepard in tracking down the indoctrinated Hanar and when a computer virus is unleashed, Kasumi attempts to stop it. Although the computer is rigged to explode and Bau presumes it killed Kasumi.
After Bau has left, Kasumi reveals herself and agrees that while she won’t help Shepard on another suicide mission she will go an assist on the crucible, hinting that she might also steal a few things in the process. She’s grateful for Shepard helping her fake her death and getting Bau to leave her case so she can once again operate without too many issues if they survive the invasion.
Have you read up on how the game works?: Yes, the guide runs on Flaming ferrets, and she can either work, mooch, or steal.
1st person sample: [The feed is slightly static filled and the figure that seems to be talking has her face mostly hidden behind a large hood, showing only full lips with a purple line tattoo on them and a straight nose. She’s talking to someone off screen for a moment before fixating on the guide.]
Good it’s working. I find this might be a bit of an odd situation but to believe that the galaxy was blown up is a bit far stretched and these...vogon, are about as helpful as tits on a hanar, let’s be honest. I haven’t had anyone respond on any of the closed signals or old contacts I have so maybe one of you out there can help me.
I’m sure that we can come to some kind of agreement for information, or at least, good information that I won’t be throwing out if it’s common knowledge. I’d say impress me, but it’s been a long time since anyone’s been able to do that. [There’s a muffled response to her right and she’ll look over that way for a moment.] I could do that, but it’s not as fun just walking up to people and slapping them with questions, you never know if you’re getting proper information.
[Really, this was a cue for anyone who even remotely knew of her to respond with some kind of information for her. She was getting a little desperate with how badly they wanted her to believe the asari and reaper theory.]
For those who care you can find me at this bar, I’m sure you’ll all know where it is.
3rd person sample: Kasumi wasn’t sure how she felt about being told of the imminent destruction of the galaxy. Nor was she as upset about it as she could’ve been, she was still alive, albeit in a very strange place, with even stranger aliens dictating that she should fill out forms A10 through to B3 and make sure to check all the right hand boxes, not the left. It wasn’t the paperwork that had her miffed, she never really filled those out with her actual information, that would be negligent on her behalf and of her own interests. It was the lack of information she had on anything, including her own location and how she ended here.
Still, she couldn’t help but feel slightly ill at ease now that she was given a towel, guide and set to wandering the station she had found herself on. Was there anyone else here that she would know? Hopefully no one that wanted her head on a platter, not after she’d gone to all the trouble of faking her death back on the Citadel.
There were so many questions she had, and none of the vogon were helpful, giving her round about answers and asking for more forms for inquisitions. Personally she was about to sneak around back and just find the information herself, but she decided against it and turned the guide over in her hands several times. None of it made sense, not logically, certainly not with what she remembered she was doing on the crucible.
She made up her mind, right then, she would get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing she did.
This would require some sneaking and hacking, but first she needed to try to get in contact with anyone she could. Anyone that might know something more than she did that was a reliable source. It would be tricky, but she wasn’t known as a master thief for nothing, the thought brought a smile to her face. She hadn’t even made it out of the arrival’s office before she activated her tactical cloak and slipped away, undetected, into the Thor’s corridors.
Questions?: How many salarians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
