On my introduction thread, I mentioned I would write a fanfic detailing two simultaneous plots (Memento style). One would focus on Garrus's days as a C-Sec officer, and the other chronicling his rise to infamy as Space Batman- I mean, Archangel. The story would take heavy influence and pay homage to classic thrillers, cop movies, crime flicks and Film Noir, with Garrus even providing some classic private eye-style monologues.
The main influences are Taxi Driver, Dirty Harry, Yojimbo (not a crime movie or a Film Noir, obviously, but the basic plot element will be taken from this film), Chinatown, The French Connection Death Wish, and a good many others.
Not sure how to start it off, but I will promise the following. Sex, drugs, violence, a descent into madness, seedy streets, shady characters, imposing prison-like cities (classic trademark), gunfights and Garrus being awesome.

Terrible idea. Horrible idea. So bad an idea I wish superman would turn the world back in time so you never thought of it.
This is the Omega meets Jersey Shore thread, right?

No, this is the Mr. Rogers thread.

Garrus is more of a forehead-touch-machine to all the chicks, but sure.
Good idea. I like it. Now, when you say you're promising sex and drugs...

They're staples of the genre, so druggies, prostitutes, a one night with the resident Femme Fatale are gonna be a part of the story, certainly.

I'm actually fairly excited about this. Like I said earlier, if I ever got off my lazy ass and contributed something to this site, it was going to be a similar story (I actually did chart it out once).
However, like usual, I never get anything done that I start. So it's good to see someone is not letting the idea (general idea, that is, the archangel plot) go to waste. Bravo, sir!
Maybe I'll actually shape up and make one of my own (fat chance), but if not, I eagerly anticipate yours!
