So I went nuts about three super unimportant NPCs hanging out in Tartarus and I'm now releasing my headcanons into the wild. Only Derc has a name and dialogue in-game, so I guess the asari are my OCs.
Some fun headcanons:
Sophri's dad was a hanar diplomat, mom is an ambassador
Iyenna's dad was a vorcha who cleaned streets, mom was a dancer
Sophri taught Iyenna how to swim when they were students at the same university on Thessia. That's when they fell in love!
Derc has been kicked out of three separate communities for embezzlement (his clan's company, the Nexus, and Kadara Port)
He had hardly met any aliens prior to joining the Initiative, and is still dreadful at reading non-salarian social cues
Iyenna will lie about anything for fun (did you know Sophri is the secret princess of Kahje? And that she came to Andromeda to escape an arranged marriage?)
Derc falls for Iyenna's lies 50% of the time, Sophri never does (she knows her too well)
Iyenna is a big fan of batarian metal (the other two... are not)
BACKSTORY SUMMARY: The asari were a pre-established couple even before Andromeda. They met Derc during the Nexus uprising when Sophri got wounded and Derc (reluctantly) let the ladies use the medical supplies he'd hoarded in a storage closet. On Kadara the three discovered they were safer and could get more stuff done if they stuck together, and that dynamic evolved into them straight-up living in the same shipping container (hehe shipping) and who knows what else!!
More detailed backstory beneath the readmore.
