While canon characters exist on Mass Effect and are indeed playable, the real plot stuff lies in the Canon Roles. The Canon Roles are simply roles that can be grabbed by most anyone and bam, something's planned for them. Very simple, just apply for the role by way of putting up a bio. Once it's accepted, just post here saying which role you are taking. Very easy.
This likely won't be the final list because as things arise, more canon roles may appear, so check back often!
Note: When picking a second role, try to avoid one that would conflict with your other characters. Someone taking say, Sovereign's Vanguard and a Council Member, would face problems.
Note 2: You CAN reserve a role here for a week while you make the character. But you have only a week!
Savior of Elysium: Celeste Shepard
In 2176, a massive band of pirates, slavers, and batarians, all grouped together and launched a major offensive into the Skyllian Verge. Their intent? The total destruction of Elysium. The Savior of Elysium, facing insurmountable odds, managed to rally the colony, and hold the attackers off until help finally arrived. For their bravery, they were awarded the Star of Terra and hailed as a true hero.
Requirements: Must be human and Alliance.
Note: None
Survivor of Akuze: Open
In 2177, Akuze was in the early stages of being colonized when Systems Alliance lost all contact with the initial settlers.

During that night, the unit of Marines would be ambushed by Thresher maws, slaughtering the entire unit save one survivor.
Requirements: Must be human and Alliance.
Note: None
Butcher of Torfan: Alexander Hawke
In 2178, a counterattack was launched on Torfan by the Alliance in retaliation for the Skyllian Blitz back in 2176. Leading this assault was the Butcher of Torfan, who, at the cost of many men in a long, extended bloodbath, managed to slaughter nearly the entire Batarian presence. It is still a sore point amongst the two races to this day, and what the Butcher did has earned the undying hatred of the Batarians.
