Nyoka, main news is that femshep might, maybe, get a bioware trailer. Or at least an officially sanctioned and promoted trailer contest, of some sort.

I learned something today!

Speaking of stigmas, it's amusing that gaming has gone from being universally seen as nerdy, to some games now being stereotyped as games played by stupid bro jocks (CoD). And one of the genres that has remained nerdy (RPGS) is experiencing a culture war in Mass Effect involving that

Akari, that's a very nice graphic you've put together. Also, I'm another guy who prefers FemShep.

You play WoW, too.

Not anymore, I don't.  Not that I'd have time to play, what with all the Mass-Effecting I've been doing!

Yeah I've quit for 2 months now...Quite proud of myself. But yes, the Mass-Effecting is quite important!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you my newest FemShep, Rani!



Rani means princess in India, her parents being from that particular subcontinent.  I was going for an Indian/Middle Eastern look for her, and I think I succeeded.  I like her alot, so far.  Took me 5 restarts and about 4 total hours in the character creation screen to get just the right facial structure and everything set right.  But I think she's worth it!


Don't make me angry...

Here's her profile so far.

Beware, WALL-O-TEXT incoming!!!  You have been warned!!


Rani Shepard
Colonist/Sole Survivor
Renegade, (except Feros)
Adept with AR training (ME1)
Probably Adept with Stasis or Barrier in ME2　

The ball of violence and hate that is Jack is what Rani could have been, except for the first 16 years of her life. Raised on Mindoir by two loving parents, Rani had the potential to be anything. Then came the batarians. After watching her parents die almost literally in front of her, only barely being rescued herself from a life of slavery and unspeakable horrors, something in her snapped. Once a happy-go-lucky, everything-has-a-silver-lining kinda girl, the events of that day left her a snarky, card carrying cynic.

Something of her parents lived on in her, however. At the age of 18, she enlisted in the Alliance military after her latent biotic abilities were discovered and brought to the surface. Intent on trying to keep the tragedy of Mindoir from happening ever again, she excelled in her biotic training, and far surpassed the combat training of most Adept-class trainees. Her marksmanship abilities and biotic prowess earned her a nomination to the vaunted N7 training program, but before she could rotate out of her current unit, stationed on Akuze, tragedy struck again. Thresher maws wiped out her entire unit, and once again, Rani barely survived.

The last vestiges of her sanity were sorely tested, and only through sheer pig-headed stubbornness was she able to keep her head on straight, if not unchanged. Her snarky cynicism morphed yet again into an almost sociopathic uncaringness. Her regard for her own life is virtually nil. She believes that she is already dead. The bullet just hasn't hit her yet.
　
**This is her story as of the start of ME1. She is polite but stern to the crew, simply because it is a part of military decorum, but traces of her "brokenness" show from time to time when she snaps at her subordinates. Planned romance is with Kaiden, and I want to "renegade" him, but roleplay that he slowly breaks down her walls. Dying and being brought back in ME2 will almost be a letdown for her, as she thinks she should have stayed dead. Believing that it's in Kaiden's best interests, she won't contact him, thinking it's better if he still thinks her to be dead, at least until after the suicide mission is over with. She doesn't want to make him lose her twice if she doesn't make it back this time. Horizon is going to be even rougher than usual, considering that by this point, Kaiden is very nearly the only "personal" reason for her to be alive. Other than him, all she has is "duty." Her duty to humanity, her duty to the entire galaxy to keep trying to figure out how to stop the Reapers. Once Kaiden turns his back, it'll be a blow to her, personally, that's almost like the final feather. Minor compared to Mindoir and Akuze, but it'll almost break her. But because of who she is and what she's gone through, no one will see it.
　
Yes, this is a totally angsty, almost emo kind of playthru, but it's my renegade playthru, and that's how it's going down!

 @ kheven - Niiice. thanks for sharing. she looks lovely and i love the story arc you've got planned. sounds painful, but powerful.

and i gotta say, barrier adept is awesome.  there's something lovely about the RP element of it also, for someone who has put up walls between them and others, both literally and figuratively.

btw, wanted to share that up fixed my blog to have tabs across the top of the homepage that can insta-link you to a list of modding tutorials and video guides. that's all the pages i have yet, but since i realized folks were using the blog as a reference for flycam guides and such (which is awesome, thank you), i wanted to make it easier for you to find things. so anyhow, just thought i'd point that out. 

[thompsmt]

@FireEye: Odd picture. It's rather different than our standard image of FemShep.

*awesomebloginfosnippage*

Thanks!  I'm glad you like her.  Yeah, her story arc is going to be...interesting.  I've never done a fully renegade playthru before, and for it to go this way, I'm sure I'll see quite abit of dialogue and situations I haven't seen before (at least for myself.)  So, it's going to be quite the ride, I'm sure.

About the barrier comment, I hadn't even considered the RP aspect of that!  Awesome observation, I love it!  I'm definately going barrier adept in ME2.  Thanks for that!

oh dear. now look what i started. i suppose she's expecting her hair to work as her armor? and a crossbow? really?

There's worse. I recall seeing some fantasy MMO ads whose idea of female armor leaves me wondering how many female characters die from gut wounds.

yeah, that is NOT what we want when we want more femshep. femshep truly breaks the mold by not being THAT. sorta sad, really, that femshep is the exception in sci-fi and barbarella there is the rule.

...so you don't want me to dig up the original Dirty Pair TV series opening?

I'm not going to stop making videos anytime soon. I did tweet the links to my Renegade and Arrival trailers to that marketing guy, though. Maybe he'll like them.

That wallpaper rocks!  Glad my Sheps could be a part of it.

You just made me realize I've never thanked you for taking the time to share all that info. You were my primary source for figuring out how to do the screenie thing.

So thank you!

Ah, yes, colonist/sole survivor (aka The Angst Queen).  I really like Rani and her back story.  Very well thought out, espcially the planned ME2 run.  I also like the idea of Kaidan getting through her "barriers," as Sage mentioned.  I also like your take on renegade.  So many seem to take it as evil or just being a jerk and it's not. 

My main femShep is a colonist/sole survivor, though she is a paragon and romanced Liara.
