woo on topic. Does anyones femshep play sports or spar with crew mates?
Definitely. Sports and sparring are Devi's forte. Garrus is her favored sparring partner and sometimes Jacob, when he takes that stick out of his *ss!
I finally created a brief profile of Devi over at the FemShep site:
femshep.ning.com/forum/topics/devi-shepard-an-overview .
I'll post the first portion here though:
Let's call her "D" for short, Devi having never been her actual
name but simply a teasing moniker for a teenage girl who had her head
stuck in the clouds. At least, that is how D's friends saw her when
carousing around the streets of Los Angeles.
Not much is known of D's actual background save for some basics:
1. Abandoned at infancy, she was taken in by a modestly sized, Catholic run orphanage.
2. Her possible ethnic background ranges from Hispanic, Black, to
Pacific Islander....a true child of the 23rd century world.
3. The last name Shepard was taken from a mentor and priest named
Thomas Shepard, a man who managed an alluring mix of faith and a
liberal world view. He taught D a respect for knowledge and tradition,
Earth's history and its current path. Perhaps this is where D developed
her trademark idealism. How fortunate that D's idealism is tempered with
her brief stint with a small time gang known as the Reds.
Personality Traits: Calm and collected to the point of seeming dull (sometimes!),
D's presence can instill confidence in the most cowardly of men. Her
leadership skills lay not in a blazing display of charisma, but in a
demonstration of physical strength and battle-hardened tactics. D's
humor is often understated and her inquisitive nature draws her to the
most unlikely of friendships.
Introspective yet not shy, D may at times find it difficult to
easily navigate social circles and her reserved nature can make her seem
aloof. What friendships she has, nonetheless, remain strong if not
always long-lasting. (Sole Survivor, anyone?)
Skills: In spite of her Cerberus upgrades D was always known to be
physically gifted in both strength and endurance. There is seldom a
moment when she regrets not having an Adept's magic touch, and she
secretly takes pride in having accomplished so much with distinctly
human limitations (not even Kaidan knows of this secret pride).
D is skilled with a variety of weapons along with bare handed
combat, the latter skill owing much to the petty street fights D had
when with the Reds gang.
As far as shortcomings go, never ask D to perform complex computer
maintenance or solve obscure calculus problems..... She'd rather take a
punch to the face.
Fun Facts: 1. D learned fluent Spanish as a child, though this ability is
nearly pointless with the widespread use of universal translators.
2. Can throw a mean fastball.
3. Aside from her childhood mentor, D admires the Saint Joan of Arc.
4. Is an agnostic theist.
5. D is reluctant to admit that her initial reason for joining
the Alliance was to feel closer to a high school boyfriend two years her
senior (with the added benefit of escaping her poor surroundings).
