No probs, just boutta read loved now. Persephone Rising with three flirtacious and brilliant Shepard's is a brilliant read though. Keep it up sia!
Yeah, I don't think Garrus did the military service for the full 15 years, that, or his work in C-sec counts towards his military service. He seems to be in his mid to late twenties in ME1. And the dev did say he was under 30. Also, I am pretty sure he is younger than Shepard, maybe just because of their relationship in the first game?
Edit: Garrus for top of the page. How cute does this look? Hehe, it's the trial at Tali's loyalty mission.

And yeah, TashaVakarian is me! I got hitched to Garrus in Vegas or something, I don't quite remember...

I doubt Garrus would be a spy working for the Hierarchy/Council. Especially not for the council, not after the way they treated Shepard during her hunt for Saren and how they treated her after her death.

It's a running theory, and kind of plausible from a Renegade standpoint.  I wrote a fic centering on it, actually, called To Tame a Mercenary (http://www.fanfictio...ame_a_Mercenary), but the basic premise?

Garrus really DID go back to the Citadel to become a spectre after ME1 and Shepard's death, and now is keeping tabs on her to assure she isn't a plant by Cerberus.

There are small things to back it up, like the fact that no matter WHAT you do, he stays on for the ride.  We fangirls tend to chalk it up to romance or the logic of saving the galaxy, but the thought is still there.

See, if C-Sec counts towards his service time, could he have quit to jump onboard with Shep, I wonder?  It doesn't work for us military service anyway.

If he went AWOL to do it, then I REALLY wonder what happens when we hit Palaven in ME3...

Thanks, Tasha!  I can't take credit for the other two brilliant Shepards, but Meghan's entirely mine.

God, is it just me, or can you hear him saying... "I'm just going to sit back and watch the show."  *munched dextro popcorn*

GAH, that's the focus for the chapter I'm working on actually (Tal's loyalty).  You are giving me ideas!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Is chapter 4 of how to tame a mercenary published yet?
As for becoming a spectre, he applied for spectre candidacy but it appeared he was very half hearted about it and never got formerly instated. This always puzzled me by because I always renegaded him, but surely kicking at injustice without legal tape throughout the galaxy would make more of a difference than taking out criminals on Omega? I always wondered why he didn't go all the way with the spectre thing...
Edit to reply: Hehe! Shepard does do quite a performance, and I love how he just chills out on the back steps, surrounded by quarians and a shouting Shepard. Dextro popcorn

Well, you've read "Omega" and "Tenebrea," so you know my theory.

And *no,* it isn't, though thanks for asking.  I'm having trouble transitioning from "I'd put a bullet in her brain" into "I want to insert something else."

Oh why hai there fellow Turian lovers.

Um, I'm trying to look for some good Fem!Shep/Garrus fanfics out there. Anything you recommended? No smut please, only do tasteful stuff.

I suppose it would depend on what you're looking for. Action heavy? Romance heavy? Comedy? How 'mature' (and not in a sexual way) do you like your fic?

Anything really along it isn't full on smut. I can do tasteful love making, but beyond that, I get a bit sickish. Pretty much I'm ok with anything along it doesn't go above the R rating to put it simple.

Also, thanks for the links to other fanfics out there for those who linked me to some. I'll check them out for sure. I read Walordfil's stuff already before commenting on here.

[Xalena]

you know about Garrus and his age... I mean look what they have done to Kaiden ... If Kaidan is a "kid" then Garrus is a baby...that makes me double pedobear...nice...nothing can surprise me anymore

I know, it's a shame how they tend to characterize Alenko sometimes...

[TripLight]

Yep, that ticked me off as well. And I play one of my Sheps a bit younger then the "cannon" age too (2 years max), so calling him a kid makes no sense whatsoever, and is incredibly disrespectful to the character.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Kaidan is 36 I believe? Mind you, people bash on the Liara thread that those who romance her are basically peedo's when Liara is 106. Yeah... I don't get trolls sometimes?

And Sia, I just read the first chapter and I love that you did the funeral scene, I always like to wonder what Shepard's funeral was like and how the ME1 squad reacted to it.



This is random I know, but am I the only one who prefers Garrus' armour to his casual clothes you see in the romance scene?

My personal rule of thumb to finding good stories is- when I find a story I really like, I check that author's 'fav stories' tab, they usually have really good/similar tastes too.

Kaidan quotes himself as being 32 in the first game, so 34 35 in ME2. EDIT: according to the official ME2 site, he's 35 in ME2.

Also, I think turian casual clothes are dorky as heck!!!

No, you so aren't the only one.  With this pair, armor for BOTH would almost have been better, IMO. 

And while I get totally pissy at Kaidan on Horizon, and even have Garrus refer to him as 'kid' in Tenebrea quite a bit, its character perspective and not author.  I have issues with Kaidan from a character perspective, but in my head he'll always be my Carth.  LOL

Oh well...*sigh* As long as we, the community, can help ease new people into the proper universe once they arrive at the forums...

Maybe when the fan-made video guide is complete, we can link it in the OP for PS3 players?

Pretty soon, I'll have a lot more work to do as the thread's Saren expert, correcting everything the comic/video got wrong and explaining why the guy who apparently just wanted to destroy the galaxy is my favorite character. xD But I can't blame the players for that. I'll end up reposting videos of Virmire, the Battle of the Citadel, and Eden Prime many times. They won't even know who Nihlus is.

@Tasha

No, your not alone. The causals are....horrible, to say the least, looking. So that's why in fanfiction you can make youur own cauals for people! (That way they look better.) Oh, and glad you like my fanfics. Working on one right now as well..



@Mitis

You have a BSN account? Great, well I like your writting. Very nicely done!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

This one's for Kim:

(I am going screenie crazy today aren't I?) I have wondered why it has taken so long for the PS3 version to be released? Are there extra PS3 features or something?
I went to Gamestation the other day to chat to the employees there about the ME2 for PS3 leaflet they were handing out. He said that the graphics were getting a total upgrade, and that I should try it out for a different gaming experience. The guy was trying to persuade me to by the PS3 version and a PS3 just for a game I have on PC and 360. SO hilarious, but the point of this tangent, was that all the employees universally agreed that Garrus was their favourite character!!
It was an amazing day.
And Nihlus will always be remembered by me as the introduction to the first alien in Mass effect. And turians are amazing.
I'll look forward to you indoctrinating people to Saren lovers Kim
Edit: Glad others agree with me about the armour! It just makes that turian cop look muscular and phwoar!

I believe it's because the PS3 version wasn't a simple "port".

Also, the PS3 version is using the ME3 engine, that might be why the employees were talking about the graphics.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I see. Then all the more to look forward to ME3. But graphics isn't hugely important to me, I am a Baldurs Gate girl after all. Mind you, I say that, but I had the low res Garrus in ME1 which made me sad. But that's Garrus

Saren screenshot! *pause to stare at the awesome*

The Sarendoctrination won't be easy. Most of the time, I just talk about him a lot... I rarely have to explain anything that isn't from Revelation because everyone's played the same game and watched the same scenes. Now they won't even know that Saren's not a typical "galactic domination" villain. But if I manage to describe him well enough (or link to the cast interviews, Saren's VA did a great job of that) and link to the right videos, they'll probably want to buy an Xbox.

Now I just had a horrible thought. The same company that made the PS3 comic is also working on Evolution. I really hope they don't mess up Saren's character. Although, if Saren is the captured turian, I liked his personality so far. You know, in the first five pages. And I'm not even sure it's him. Have to wait three more days, if I can find it on release date...

Saren is a villian I'm continually finding new aspects of, especially since reading Revelation.  I'm not quite sure what to make of him, all in all, outside of the fact that he obviously can't be labeled at first glance.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I still haven't read the other comics yet. Apparently paying rent is more important than buying computer games/DLC/ME comics... Pfft!

I have read a rough summary, but in the summaries there is often little said about Saren. What is his role in the comics?
