a kesh while i'm still in hibernation.

I think Drack is the best-written character in Mass Effect Andromeda. He comes along as another cliche role model, here the cranky old warrior, a fossil who doesn't know that his time is over and is boring everyone else with endless stories of his glory days.

But no. That's not his arc. Drack is a wreck, has been for centuries now. One idiot with a belt of explosives ended the old Drack. What was left was a pile of flesh, prostheses rejected by his body, and endless pain. He had already given up on himself when a shaman dropped a baby into his lap, Kesh. "Here, she is weak and worthless; she will die". That was Drack, too.

That sparked his defiance. He pushed through the pain and became a better version of himself to be the father Kesh needed. Drack survived, Kesh survived.

Now Andromeda. It is clear that Drack only undertook this madness for one reason: Kesh. She is now someone, part of the leadership of the Initiative. In fact, she is more important than Drack. He had put her on the starting line, and she won the race.

Couldn’t decide on a background so variant under the cut
