in character information.
series: Mass Effect
name: Javik
age: 50,000 if we go by his stasis period.
sex: Male
race: Prothean
weight: Based on height and the human BMI scale, estimate is at 182 lbs.
height: No canon height is given, though based on comparisons to other crew members it's estimated at about 6'2''
canon point: Mass Effect 3 | Post Priority: Thessia
previous cr: N/A
history: Mass Effect | From Ashes | Personal history
personality:
In their time, Protheans adopted many “Avatars”, members of their society that embodied a single virtue. Javik is the Avatar of Vengence. As such, once can come to expect many things from his character—first and foremost being a burning anger and hatred toward the Reapers. While no one favors them outside of those that are indoctrinated, the passion Javik holds for their destruction is borderline obsessive. In fact, for awhile, bringing about the destruction of the Reapers is all that Javik will discuss in any sincerity—he vowed to not rest until the very last Reaper is dead.
Javik’s obsessive drive for vengeance often causes him to have a view of disappointment and frustration with the members of the current cycle. His people had laid the ground work for the next cycle to be warned and to do something to prepare for the Reaper invasion and yet he wakes 50,000 years later on the precipice of the current cycle’s destruction, all because no one had headed said warnings. That’s a lot to be frustrated about. Javik is also rather cynical about the current cycle in general, mostly due to the fact that his people had worked to raise them up to what they are now and to him they are still very much “primitive” species. In fact he makes note of the fact that he is “surrounded by primitives.” His cynicism is nothing to hide either, causing him to be abrasively and brutally honest about what he thinks of them.
This brutal honesty can sometimes have the effect of making his comments seem more like epic trolling than anything. He makes comments about how salarians were nothing more than a delicacy and a bunch of eye-lickers in his time, one such comment taking place right in front of a bunch of salarians. All cynicism and criticism aside, however, Javik can be quite the troll as well. For example, in a conversation with Vega, he’s asked if Protheans had jokes and he makes one up on the spot—when Vega forces a laugh and says it’s funny Javik chuckles and says that he had made it up and that humans will believe anything.
Javik is not all negativity, though. As his time in this cycle goes on he expresses belief that they may be the ones to break the cycle and end the Reapers once and for all. For example, during his first visit to the Citadel, he is approached by a curious hanar who identifies him as a Prothean—an identification that an asari and turian overhear. The trio asks Javik what hope there can be for the present cycle if the Reapers had destroyed his. While he initially answers with his usual blunt honesty saying that little hope exists, he is eventually prompted by Shepard to give them hope. This small change also extends to his treatment of the crew later on and is most readily seen in his interaction with Liara post Thessia. When Liara questions why he and his people didn’t do more to impede the Reapers Javik mentions how the Protheans thought the asari would, seeing the potential in her people. He goes on to tell her to not give into the despair, the Reapers greatest weapon, because so long as there is one asari the fight can go on. When questioned if he meant what he said by Shepard, Javik asks if it matters—showing that his pressing interest was more in giving Liara hope than in resorting to his usually bluntness.
abilities/powers:
Javik is of the Vengeful Ancient class, allowing him to have a minor boost in biotic abilities. One of Javik’s biotic abilities is Slam, an ability that lifts a target and slams them into the ground. It is upgraded to Rank 5. This ability has a recharge speed of 3.2 seconds and a force of 1620 N that affects a 2m radius. He also possesses the unique Dark Channel biotic ability which hits a targeted enemy with a biotic field that does constant damage over an extended period of time. This ability has been upgraded to Rank 4, has recharge speed of 8 seconds, and deals 30 points of damage per second over a 30 second duration. Finally, Javik possesses the Pull ability, which generates a mass-lowering field that causes enemies to levitate in the air. This ability is upgraded to Rank 4 and has a recharge speed of 4.67 seconds, duration of 5.60 seconds, and a radius of 2m. All damage done by this ability is a result of the target(s) dropping to the ground from the height they were lifted to.
Javik is also a soldier, a well trained one—there is a reason he is the Avatar of Vengeance; he has the military prowess to exhibit this virtue. He was also a military leader in his day, spearheading missions against the Reapers and ultimately taking on the task of entering stasis with his people to guide them in the next cycle. From this we can assume that he has leadership capabilities and problem solving skills typical of those in leading military roles.
Outside of his individual skills, Javik is also a Prothean, and Protheans have the ability to “read” people. This ability allows Javik to pick up memories, language skills, and…pretty much any other mental faculty that one would have simply by touch. He was able to sense Grunt’s residual memories and personality by touching the floor in his room, and he was able to learn the human language and the basic information about this cycle just from having Shepard touch him. The information is not just a one way road however, he is also able to project his own memories and thoughts to people from that same touch. Of course should this need to be dulled somehow, it can be.
Note: Since he has several biotic abilities as well as weaponry, I have chosen to limit out the ability of lift grenades. While he still has the ability to use this power, he will be coming in without access to any grenades to make use of it.

third person sample:
Javik was not one for sentimentality. Growing up in the time of war, a time where your very people were torn asunder before your very eyes, left little room for sentiments to grow. He did not know peace. He knew anger, the hot pumping of blood in his veins as he pulled a blade through the throats of his own men—good men turned against him by corrupted whispers and false promises.
He was not one for sentimentality, no, but as his time in this new cycle carried on he began to wonder if it might have taken some hold without him realizing it. He valued this crew, that much was certain, and he was sure the commander’s penchant for uplifting words was rubbing off on him as well. He was certain he had given more uplifting words to others in this cycle than he had in his entire previous lifetime.
Yes, that habit of hers was one he was quickly growing accustomed to, if his brief words to the asari were anything to go by. He had told her that her people had purpose—potential, and that she had that same potential his people had seen millennia ago. They were not words he would have given her when he had first come to on Eden Prime.
So did you actually mean what you said? The commander had asked, always concerned with how true such sentiments were.
“Does it matter?” Did it really? He doubted it did, so long as the words served their purpose. He believed them, he had meant them. But Javik was not (at least outwardly) a sentimental man, and he was not going to give others a reason to think otherwise. “I will tell you what you wish to hear: I meant what I said.”
It was unlikely the commander would be able to tell that he was admitting the truth rather than simply giving her the answer she wanted anyway.
