Question time:

Have you ever think of the life after ME3 assuming she survive with her LI?

And if so, what is the "ending" of her? Like laying on the bed with lots of grandchild around her?

Oh yeah, the story that I'm currently working on (not the one in my sig) takes place ~13 years after the Reaper War is over.

Before meeting Liara, Alice never really thought about kids or even much about the future.  Now that future with Liara is what's keeping her going, moreso even than the idea of saving the rest of the galaxy (as un-heroic as that may sound).

She'll retire from the military (not that she was that big into the Alliance in the first place) and will step down from her role as a Spectre not long after her first daughter is born.  She feels that her duty at that point is to survive and be there for Liara and their daughter, and that to dive headlong into potentially life-threatening missions on a regular basis is ultimately a selfish and thoughtless thing to do.  She'd still do things to help out, namely training colonial defense forces, new recruits at the Alliance, etc., as well as taking some odd jobs like setting up security for private corporations (and who better to help out with that than an information broker?).


Edit: A girl worth fighting for!

Well, Rani has been taking most of my attention lately, but I do have another femShep. I've already taken her thru ME1, now I just need to take her through ME2.

Spacer/War Hero/Pure Paragon (maybe one or two snarky renegade comments, but no major renegade decisions.

She's an Infiltrator in ME1, but I plan on using her as a Sentinel in ME2. Canonically, she's a Sentinel, but I loathe the Sentinel in ME1. She's not nearly as developed background-wise as Rani is, but that's because she never really made me think about her as a character like Rani does. She's a paragon, she's the optimistic, idealistic romantic that makes you want to slap her on Monday mornings. (She's cheerful, mostly.)

Only got one screencap, but I at least wanted to introduce you guys to her. Meet Kyra!

I've been browsing around on this forum for a while and I finally decided to stop the lurking and join. Made my first ever photoshop manipulated image (for anything) with my shep.

That's a nice photomanip
And I think it's the first one featuring Legion.

More random screenies of Rani!  Accidentally deleted the wrong career, so had to start her again but only lost a few minutes.  I think the tweaking has made me like her even more.


She's looking at me...

Nice work. I've tried in the past to make that haircut work for my sheps but I couldn't

Ending? Why does there have to be an ending?

Do we have any information about aging treatments in the ME universe? I don't take for granted that Myddine will die, or at least that she'll die in the next few hundred years. If it hasnt happened yet, I havn't seen anything that says it's scientifically impossible for her to live at least as long as the Asari.

Other than biological methods, there is immortality via machines. There are a lot of theories as to how that could be accomplished. Many involve the death of the person however, and a machine copy, which is not as interesting to Myddine. However there is the idea of maintaining the brain with a machine body, or incrementally replacing the brain with non-organic parts over a long period.

IF, (big if) Myddine has to die, the ideal death would be of old age at the head of the galactic empire. Mourning ceremonies would take place on a thousand thousand worlds. Her funeral beir would be a planetoid, and she would be cremated by launching it into a sun.

Kaidan can come along for the ride, if he wants.

RE: life after ME3 with LI.

(If Miranda is chosen) Kallen would probably adopt a few kids so Kaidan has some brothers and sisters or get a donor *predatorial glance at Jacob* so she can have kids. they'd be the smartest, well defended kids who'd be the perfect third Generations of Shepard's so that Hannah can have grandchildren. Of course since she was brought back to life Kallen will also have a long life and probably want to serve on the council as humanities representative (and probably put some people she knows on the council with Liara's help maybe a flly matured Garrus as the turian councilor, one of mordin's relatives for salarian and Liara's father for the Asari councilor. Then rule the Galaxy for the rest of her life and then get lazarus'd and rule it some more (EDI: that is a joke)

(If Ashley is chosen) Provided they both surivive they'd probably go on a long vacation to the Shadow broker base to lay low for a while and make some changes to the galaxy (like uniting the terminus systems and citadel space) and replace the council with people Kallen could trust and probably add people to the council (Elcor, Volus, Quarians, Krogan, rachi, and Geth) so that every species has a voice in galactic events. With a united Galaxy she'd just remain a spectre to root out anything that would hurt said unity with some of her old crew while Ashley stayed behind to raise Kaidan (and possible siblings).

Cara wants to die in a blaze of glory, either from enemy gunfire during a high-altitude, low-opening combat drop, or in a classic last-stand. If she lives long enough to retire, she'll take up BASE jumping as a hobby.

She'd like to be a cool, fun auntie-type figure to Kaidan's kids someday, but the thought of having her own kids would freak her out.

I like this. I think of my femshep the same way. She'd make an awesome aunt. I don't really see her as a mom - even given as diverse as moms can be. 

And then again, after the beginning of ME2, it remains to be seen if her, ah, body was put back together in a manner that lets her HAVE kids.

Best case scenario, someone pries the gun out of her hands and she winds up in a mental institution with the occasional monitored visitation.

That would, of course, require that she get through both ME2 and ME3 alive, which seems highly unlikely.

Seriously, I have no idea what will happen to Holly. It's unsure whether I see her having a 'happy' ending (though I'd love that). Mostly due to the fact she's a fairly selfless Paragon, and if she has to sacrifice herself to save her crew (or countless lives), she will.

There's also the fact that the man she loves is dying. In her own mind, she knows she's going to lose him and it's quite devastating. I honestly don't see her moving on after that. She'd probably mire herself in service to the Alliance or Spectre work until a quiet retirement.

I don't see her having children, either.

I haven't thought about the very end of Hrist's story, but I know what will happen after ME3. She'll survive the fight with the reapers and as soon as that's done, she's retiring and settling down somewhere quiet with Liara. They'll have at least one daughter together, who will be named Ashley, in honour of a certain Gunnery Chief who sadly died on Virmire. Hrist will also live a lot longer than the average human as a side effect of the Lazarus project, since the idea of her and Liara only having a short period of time together doesn't sit well with me.

As for what she'll be doing? I'm not sure yet. She won't be joining the council or anything like that though. She saved the galaxy, it's someone else's job to rebuild it and keep it in order. If the Shadow Broker Network is still intact come the end of ME3, I can see her and Liara running it together, or possibly setting up their own information brokering business.

Maddy is not one to seek the "spotlight" or be the leader of the galaxy, she would accept if she was asked to lead....but it would not be her goal to do so.  Much like Gen. George Washington, she sees her accomplishments in battle and helping to free this galaxy from the oppresion of the Reapers as her greatest accomplishment....not being it's political leader.

In light of her treatment by the Alliance since her "death" ...her view of them has become "soured" a bit.  Joining the Alliance was a means to and end for her after Mindor.....she had nothing, the Alliance offered her something...a way out...a life... but turned into something more.  Now it has "run it's course"...so when it's over, she's done.   Maddy would like to take "command" of her own destiny from now on and try to recapture what remains of her life from before the raid....perhaps open a restaraunt on Illium.

Maddy would love to have kids and a family. She has so many warm memories of her parents, she would love to have kids of her own and give them the same love and expiriences.  She would also like this to involve Kaidan as she loves him dearly.  If he does not want to "continue" ...she would be crushed, but would mostlikely adopt.

She doesn't know how long she will live, but would prefer to have an "end"...rather than immortality.  She does know and has always known that when she does die.....she will die alone.

Heh, the similiarities here to what I envision for Jessica are rather uncanny.  Asari daughter named Ashley, lengthened life due to Lazarus...

The part where I tend to veer away from the direction that anyone else goes, though, is that I believe the original Shepard died with the Normandy and in ME2 the only way to explain away the Lazarus Project is to make Shepard an AI.  An organic-based AI, an AI with emotions, yes, so she's still a massive scientific achievement and not just some AI with a personality graft, but she's still a synthetic.  This actually takes Jessica Shepard into the direction of a religious leader among the asari, to the point that after her three or so hundred years of life, her religion (which some view as a cult and others as a simple denomination of siari) is firmly estabished as a contender religion among a small chunk of total asari population and almost all of the still-rare "revenants" (those who have undergone the Lazarus process ever since the Shadow Broker stole it from Cerberus and made it public) in the galaxy.

Ultimately, while the synthetic part of her that maintains her mind won't really wear out, the human body will just reach the limits of its biology, and one day she'll be at home with Liara and their children, be feeling inexplicably tired, sit down in her recliner just to rest for a few minutes, and will not wake up again.  If her philosophical tracts debating the existence of a soul within revenants are correct, maybe she'll run into the original human version of herself that left the galaxy behind all those years ago.

No.


But there will be reasons for Jolene/Liara to say "enough with this" and step out of the spotlight.

That's actually an interesting question as to whether ME2 Shep should really be considered the 'original', or if she's actually a copy. Since the functioning of your brain was interrupted for quite a long time, and there are undoubtedly many different replacement parts inside you, organic or not. It ties in a bit with the teleporter problem: whether by interrupting your consciousness to reassemble you somewhere else, does a teleporter kill you and just produce a perfect copy?

I agree with you that ME2 Shep is a copy. But the copy doesn't know or care about that 

[sagefic]

oooh.... ^This is something that worries/bothers me.

Truly, in my head, I really can't buy that Shepard fully, totally DIED. Until tech actually makes that possible, I really can't buy it. Even as suspension of disbelief, I have to think something kept her hanging on. In the fanfic, I always push it that Shep doesn't believe it either. And the writers are very confused about this. In the game, sometimes you fully died, sometimes it sounds like you didn't. In the redemption comic, it really sounded more like a coma at times. Very confusing.

Though I think part of why I like Shep's character so much is that she keeps going. I wish we'd had the chance to have her comment on this (almost more than I wanted ANYTHING else, even a ME2/DLC reunion with the VS). Just to say "meh, so what?" or "omg, i'm alive" or whatever. I see kyrie as being deeply disturbed by this, but also forcing herself to take it in stride.

Though she'd never call herself such (she's just not quite that self-reflective) she's an existentialist of sorts, and believes that what you do creates who you are.

She can't be resurrected without nanotech.  If they try to pull that, I'm afraid my suspension of disbelief will get up and walk away, taking the rope I hung it with. 

[ADLegend21]

eh, I'm not sure that Sheaprd's a copy or a clone, I think ti's the real deal. Brain function is just electricity running through the actuall matter memerios are genetic (muscle memory for example) and interuppted brian function is like the power going out in a building. Lazarus was basically fixing the blown out generator which "restored power" to Shepard's brain after the outage bringing things back to normal with memories intact due to shepard's genetic material.

I'm definitely in the "ME2 Shepard is a copy/clone/cyborg-with-a-computermind thing, not the original Shepard" boat.  Sadness.

In keeping with the tone and style of ME1, then yes, I would subscribe to that theory. But I'm just not sure the writers wouldn't just push it to the side for the sake of "coolness" after much of what I saw in ME2...
