Welcome to the Garrus Love and Adoration thread, where you can feel free to voice your love (and adoration and general appreciation) for Garrus! I try to keep this OP updated on a daily-basis, so keep checking back for more Garrus Goodies! Also, don't be afraid, we don't bite. :3 We welcome any and all discussion regarding Garrus and Turians in general.
Who is Garrus Vakarian? He is a "veteran officer of Citadel Security who quit to lead his own elite military
group within the Terminus Systems to combat crime at its source. He has gathered a wealth of experience in underworld investigation, sabotage, and guerrilla-style assaults on criminal holdings."
Archangel

~Omni-tool expert and noted sniper
"Archangel is a mercenary commander whose operations are noted for their technical expertise and strategic brilliance.
He is responsible for high-profile attacks on gang leaders on Omega."

Garrus' Writers
Mac Walters wrote Garrus in Mass Effect 1
Patrick Weekes wrote Garrus' Normandy conversations in Mass Effect 2
Patrick Weekes on Garrus’ Renegade Personality:
I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I really love Garrus as an example of the difference between Renegade and Evil. He's like the ideal of the compassionate renegade -- going in hot to take down the guys threatening Dr. Michel, for example. He wants to help people, wants to stop the big bad guy and save the galaxy and protect the innocent, and he doesn't have time for rules and regulations that slow him down.

Garrus' Age
This is attributed to Patrick Weekes with a LiveJournal posting under "Pats_Quinade"
On 9/11/2009 he stated:
"I don't think there IS a canonical answer, but the intent was always that he was a relatively inexperienced C-Sec officer who had enough experience under his belt to be frustrated with the system. I'd definitely say under 30, provided that works in terms of turian training."
Link to the full conversation with his reply at the bottom.
Garrus' Lair of the Shadow Broker Dossiers
Former C-Sec officer. Exceptional tactical and team-building skills. Leadership potential overshadowed by Shepard. Unlikely to fully develop under Shepard's command.

And just because people keep asking “What did Dr. Michel say?”
From: Dr. Chloe Michel
Dear Commander Shepard,
I was relieved to hear that you were alive. I was devastated to hear of the destruction of the Normandy, and those people who didn't make it off in time. After you went missing and were presumed dead, I feared I'd never see you or Garrus ever again. You and he did so much to help clean up the Wards when you were hunting for Saren. The galaxy needs more people like you, and I'm glad you're still here to protect those of us who've grown to depend on the both of you.
Is Garrus with you again, by any chance? After being so happy to hear of your survival, I wondered if perhaps he might have ended up with you. I left a few messages on his public accounts, but you know how he is about checking his mail, and I don't think the comm address I had for him works anymore, because he hasn't returned any calls. Always so busy on his grand crusades, his great passions, that he focuses on them to the exclusion of anything or anyone else.
Anyway, if you know where he might be, I would really love to hear from him. Or both of you could come by the next time you're near the Citadel.
Thanks!
-Chloe Michel

ME3 Wishlist:
[*]Make the Garrus Romance NOT a fling, but an actual relationship that carries over into ME3, even if there are consequences (such as prejudice, or perhaps you cheated on your ME1 interest).[*]Have Garrus return as a full-on squad-member. Don't write him out/sideline him as a cameo.[*]More inter-squad interactions and more reactions of NPC's to the romance (as well as options to defend the romance) as well as special reactions from Garrus if he's in the squad/present at that time.[*]Let us meet with Garrus' father/family. A "guess who's coming to dinner" type of situation, or something similar, where you break the news and can defend your relationship, if it comes to that, from Garrus' father (considering what Garrus told us about him in ME1).[*]Give Garrus (and other alien/"non-leading character romances") more prominent roles in the main story, such as in cut-scenes where appropriate. For example: "After you complete the mission into the Collector ship and it's discovered that the Illusive Man purposefully mislead you, Shepard announces that she's got to speak to the crew...which apparently consists only of Miranda, Jacob, and Mordin. Where's everybody else?" Not including him made him feel less significant than the "leading romances" that were Miranda and Jacob, and it would be nice if he was a more equal-seeming romance option.[*]When you romance a squadmate, have their ingame behaviors change slightly when interacting with Shepard during battle/cutscenes to reflect the change in relationship (for example: looks, caresses, or different lines that imply the change).[*]Give Garrus (and other squadmates) more lines! There was a huge gap where he had nothing new to say to Shepard, and that was a perfect opportunity to delve more into his backstory/personality and side-info about the turians in general, but it was wasted on him "calibrating the ship's batteries." I understand there are limitations to how many lines you can give a character, but it was a very big gap and lost opportunity.[*]Let us visit Garrus' old stomping ground, Palaven.[*]Let us be able to choose and develop deep relationships with the characters (and let them be uniquely developed, no matter if it's as a friendship, a romance, or a bromance) and have the PC/NPC behaviors and dialogue fully reflect that type of relationship choice.[/list]
