For those of you not familiar with the history, the First Contact War was between the Systems Alliance and the Turian Empire around the time humanity first discovered the Mass Relays. I wished there was already a good film about Archangel he says, but there isnt, so I take matters into my own handsto give Archangel the great recognition and story that he deserves. Thinking ahead, ACAVYOS already plans on creating two more feature-length fan-filmscalled First Contact War and Elysium, taking very significant moments in Mass Effects history. He talks about the mentor and apprentice relationship between Shepard and him, and how hes always your back, becoming one of the greatest bromances in sci-fi history (or romance, if you played as Femshep).



There is definitely no doubt that Garrus also had a big effect on ACAVYOS throughout his own journey. So, why the specific interest in Garrus? Well, apart from being part of the Mass Effect franchise from the beginning, ACAVYOS said he especially liked when his character developed from a disillusioned C-Sec detective to a brave and resolute vigilante who fights injustice on lawless Omega. Personally, Garrus came into his own in ME2 and when he takes off his helmet for the first time, I couldn't help but smile at his return. He has no desire for Archangel to become part of the canon, yet considering how amazing the trailer looks at the Alpha stage, there should be no reason why it shouldn't be considered. ACAVYOS also makes a note that his fan-film will be set before the ME: Homeworlds comic, which covers Garrus story when hes running around with the alias Archangel, in order to avoid clashing, or even altering, with the canon chronology. But these are just speculations - I guess well just have to wait and find out. For obvious reasons, ACAVYOS hasn't revealed any spoilers however he has let us know that there will be some familiar faces and encounters that will make the audience smile. It therefore could be easily speculated that we will be seeing some cameo roles from some of Commander Shepards ME1 squadmates, perhaps even the queen of Omega herself, Aria TLoak, or the Turian traitor, Sidonis. However, according to ACAVYOS, the Blue Suns Turian, named Vazar, will have an important impact on the story so its safe to say well be seeing a lot of him, yet he also adds that Vazar will not be the main antagonist, which leaves us the question who is? The feature fan-film will show Garrus exact motivations for finally leaving the Citadel after the Normandys destruction at the beginning of Mass Effect 2, detailing the events up to the point when he becomes the infamous Archangel as we know him.

Garrus is the young disillusioned C-Sec detective who turns away from the restrictions of law and order to become an infamous vigilante to fight injustice on Omega. Yet I have it confirmed from the fan-films creator himself, ACAVYOS, that the film will indeed be focused on Garrus Vakarian and whats more, there is even the possibility that Brandon Keener himself (the original voice actor for Garrus) may be getting involved, but this remains unconfirmed. Preliminary predictions from the teaser trailer suggest that the film would be from the perspective of a mysterious Blue Suns Turian who was featured heavily.
