@Aislinn: Thanks - actually the first time I've used those eyes. They seem to contribute more to the characterization than some of the other eye choices.

@Sage: It's always been really hard to come up with a face I like that's very different from Rhea's, but this one I'm happy with so far. The different facial structure is much more apparent in profile - a little X-Files Scully-ness that doesn't really show up otherwise. I'm thinking Renegon as well, but we'll see what happens...

Woohoo - TOP FemShep:

"Hmmm... I wonder if this is something I should be worried about..."

Wondeful vid once again!

Just use your camera, or your phone if it's a camera phone. Some of us ask the wonderful PC players for help, so you could try that. Hope this helps you.

Heh, I was a little intimidated by the other posters I saw with their 4-6 Femsheps.  Thinking to myself  "gah...I only have 2!  I'm doomed".  Good to know. 

No worries. I "only" have two as well (well, maybe 3, but the first one is actually kind of a combination of the current two, and will be retired once those two are "grown up").

I've got a third, more renegade-ish one planned, but beyond that we'll see. I enjoy the characters I've created so far so much that I don't mind playing with them again and again, even if I go though and make the exact same decisions. It's like re-reading a good book. Sure, I know what happens, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying my revisit to the story.


So, I don't really have a need to create more (though I wish I were as good at creating *different* femSheps as some of the people here... all my femSheps are essentially identical except for eye color and, maybe in the future, scars). And [broken record] I have difficulty making different looking femSheps because it's weird to hear the same voice from them.[/broken record]

Anyway, welcome. And sorry, I don't have much advice for you about getting pictures of your femShep. One option is to hook your XBox into a video capture card, if you have one. Another option is, if you are playing in ME2, post the face-code, and one of us may be willing to put that into ME2 (and into the ME1 code calculator web-page) and make a femShep with your character's face and grabs some screens.

You and your FemShep graveyard.  I do adore Caroline and Teagan, though.    I want some more pictures, I demaaaaaaaaaand them.  You can peel your eyes off Nate for a few seconds, right?  Psh, what am I saying, I wouldn't be able to either.  

@Skald

When I see those eyes, they always make me think of a sweet Paragon/Paragade.  But then again, that's probably me just channeling my own FemSheps.  Holly, Mac and Ais have those eyes.  And yes, blasting troll comments is rather satisfying. Especially when they're along the lines of "LOLOLOL FemShep sucks"  or  "This video was great until FemShep appeared".

@datSilencer

Why hello thar.  <3

I actually have a pretty decent machine, I just built it (quadcore AMD with a 470GTX).  Editing doesn't get painful at high settings until I start layering in effects (Tears Into Wine took ages to render and I had to edit on loooow settings).  I sort of peetered around with this one, so if I was to estimate it would be two evenings of work.

And maybe I'm lame as I only have 2 femsheps.

I only have one   Because Bioware did such an amazing job, the voice/face/character are inextricably tied together, burned into my brain. I know I'm not alone in that, there are others here with that 'problem'.

I could probably play through as another character if her dialogue wasn't voiced though!

I'm a nut and have way too many characters. My main Shep, Holly, will always be my first and foremost... as well as what I envision when I think of Female Shepard. Many people have only one FemShep. I can completely understand being attached to what you have come to see as 'canon'. Welcome and I hope you stick around.

I also love seeing other peoples FemSheps, so if you can... share!

[Goodwood]

Goodwood has come to a sad realization.

It's something that he feels that he must confess to the FemShep crowd, because he relates to them the most on this forum, at least in regards to Commander Shepard herself (actually period, since he lost track of the Liara discussions a few months back). And it is something that weighs kind of heavily on his heart.

Hopefully you all won't suddenly think less of him for having admitted this.

What could be so bad, you ask?

It's bad.

Ready?

Okay...


















All of Goodwood's FemSheps are pretty much self-insert characters.

There. I said it.

They have no real planning to them, and they have no real development that Goodwood doesn't think of at the spur of the moment when creating a topic or make up in response to some question asked in this thread. They don't really have minds of their own.

Goodwood is a low-down dirty sham. A faker. A poser.

Can you ever forgive him?

BTW Aislinn, that was a great trailer for Arrival.

You are hereby banned from RPGs for the rest of your life.


Seriously though, playing as yourself is very common and I think perfectly fine. But every single one of your characters is you? Wouldn't they all make the same choices then? So they must have some thought put into them

Godwood is male.  FemShep is not.

This is unpossible.

Hmmm... Can any of you honestly say that there isn't at least a little bit of "you" in every femShep you create (or really any character in any game or story)?

The first time I fully played through the game (with the original Artemis), I wasn't paying attention to and didn't have any kind of handle on the Paragon/Renegade system, and I simply chose the dialog options that *I* (like to think I) would have chosen had it been me in that situation. Then, in seeing that play out, Artemis became her own character, rather than an avatar of me. That's just the way the game seems to work for me.

And now that I understand the game universe better and am building the characters of my two femSheps, I can more direct the character building rather than just letting it emerge from a first run through the game. But still, there is definitely a good bit of *me* in my characters #. If there weren't I'd probably have a much more difficult time relating to them and understanding them and making them feel real. And, even now, despite knowing most of the dialog options and their outcomes when I get to them, my characters still surprise me by "telling" me which option I should choose. So, they started as part me and part what the game's back-stories determine for them, and then they take off and grow on their own without any planning.

Incidentally, this may be why I can't really do maleShep. Despite being male myself, I just can't really relate to him. Part of that is the different voice acting.

# and I'm not just talking about ME characters. Occasionally I have been known to write a short story here or there, and there is definitely some of me in every character I've ever created. If there weren't then the characters just don't seem real. But, despite being part me, they have "lives" of their own. That is, I don't control them. I just "create" them, throw them into a situation, and watch what they do.

ME2 Arrival FemShep Trailer  (Available in 1080 HD)

A few things of note.  It has a different flow than the original as well as differing dialogue.  I also used music from the DLC (and a few sound effects), from about 4 different tracks edited together.  I think it's a great soundtrack and was surprised they didn't use more of it in the original trailer.  I wish I knew who the composer was, haven't been able to find out as of yet.

It's a tad more spoilery, but not too much so.  I tried to make it feel a little more epic, emotional and slightly Paragon. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

That was unbeliveable! It's amazing. Best Arrival trailer ever:)

@Sinapus

LOL. Yeah, I love Order of the Stick. It reminds me of this LARP I used to play (yes, I seriously did that for a few years when I was younger). It's a testament to my nerdiness.

So you called out your attacks? ("SMITE EVIL!!!" -thank you, O'Chul.)

Ooog... do not need image of FemShep calling out her attacks, even if Hale would probably make it sound good. ("Warp!" "Lift!" "Overload!" "Short, controlled assault rifle bursts!")

[Hedera]

I resurrected my fanfic from ages ago today. Unfortunately, the original didn't survive my last clean install, but that's what ff.net is for. Shepard was still waking up from the Lazarus Project. How long ago that was...

[Sable Phoenix]

Every character has a bit of the writer in it.  In fact, the best characters are aspects of the writer's personality and history, expanded upon and explored.  Think of, say, G'Kar and Ivanova from Babylon 5, both of them self-proclaimed self-inserts of aspects of J. Michael Straczynski's personality, and two of the most memorable characters in a show populated with nothing but memorable characters.

The same goes for players.  A character is birthed from an aspect of yourself, even if they build themselves out of it.

[Cyansomnia]

@Sable

I was super excited to see Babylon 5 is on NetFlix now.  Been watching it, actually.  Trying to get my husband into more good shows.  Now if I could just get him to play ME...

@Sinapus

LOL. It was more like calling numbers for damage in melee, yelling out incants for 'spells', then hurling a tennis ball at someone and crying out "Breath of the Dragon! 32 Magical Fire!"

Very sad, yes. It was a bit more full contact than most LARPs. I got to hit people with sticks, so that was kind of fun. XD


As for ourselves in our Sheps:

My FemShep, Holly, is definitely self-insert.  Every decision I make with her is "what would I do in this situation?".

With my other FemSheps, I lean back in my chair, contemplate what 'they' would do and then decide.  

I won't deny that there is a little part of me in each of them, or perhaps they possess traits I wish I had myself?

Moira, the representation of my bad girl fantasies. Constance, the complete hardass no one dares mess with. Aislinn, charismatic and graceful.  Trista, level-headed and cool under pressure.  Mac, never getting caught up on ridiculous things and lives in the moment.

Never really thought of it like that before.

I started to roleplaying since the day of Ultima series, at the beginning of years, there's always some aspects of myself like the others mentioned. By now, as I want create a new character, I have to think of her/his background story, how to handle matters, what does this character feel about things around her/his. After 'setting up' those main princples thoughts, just stick with them and there's the new born baby.

On the other hand, I also create one character which will be myself, so that beside roleplaying, there will be a 'place' for myself so that I won't be left over. lol

Well, this is only my thoughts tho.

[Sinapus]

There's probably a bit of me in all my characters. If I base a FemShep on a fictional character from somewhere else, I usually try to match that character as close as possible.
