Yes, the MAKO is fun and all...








...until someday you have too much fun.

You just caught her ( Katherine ) on a good day. When Miranda's coffee machine breaks down then  the real drama starts.
I
hate to make it sound like it's a resolve issue; It is more like a
process that has to be evaluated and questioned on a daily basis. 

Once the coffee machine breaks down it's Lord of the Flies time. No one can be expected to remain rational under such conditions.

Lili
doesn't really like it, especially when people come to her because she
is well known, they end up bringing up things that happened in her past
that bother her or her relationship with Garrus. To one she gets
emotional about, to the other she doesn't care how the galaxy views her.
Oh, and she hates the press, though the store discounts com in handy
alot of the time. Though she still hates being famous. (does that make
any sense?)

It seems no one's FemShep is very happy with fame. CrazyRah's Sarah makes me think of Horatio Hornblower - all everyone else sees is her success and all she sees is her failures. The best thing IMO is that none of them want book deals. That seems to be de rigeur for anyone who has 15 minutes of fame these days, and it's gotten very old.

As for the MAKO, well...



*snip*



Lili: So when I died, the MAKO kinda died as well and got frozen over. And I don't have to drive it any more.

Miranda: Well yes but-

Lili: F*CK YES! I HATED THAT PIECE OF CRAP!

Miranda: You still have to drive the HammerHead, commander.

Lili:....sh*t. I'm gonna die again.

(Tali and Garrus can be heard screaming from the decks below at the news of Lili driving again)

Liara: Thank the Goddess I'm safe from Shepard's driving, at least.
Shepard: Get in, we have to catch Vasir.
Liara: ...[shocking Asari expletive].

Jessica doesn't give a damn about fame.  She's all about getting the job done, and doesn't care what anyone thinks about how it's done.  Plus she just doesn't have time to care about who knows her or how popular she might or might not be.

The one thing that did make her mad was when Jacob told her that the Alliance replaced her with a composite image for recruitment ads.  She doesn't even realize it yet, but at that point she mentally cut all ties to the Alliance and became a pure Spectre.  The one thing that really matters to Jessica is loyalty, and the Alliance essentially disowning her in that manner was, to her, a betrayal of the kind she can't forgive.  She still views Anderson in a positive light, because she recognizes that he wanted to help her but was prevented from doing so, but all the rest of the Alliance can go and whistle.

I just hope ME3 allows us to play things out in-character, rather than railroading us the way Walters did with the whole Cerberus stupidity in ME2.  Although I'm not holding my breath; Arrival was not a good sign.  There's no way Jessica would consent to go before an Alliance military kangaroo court for doing something that was necessary.

This is how she feels about that.

"You want me to do what?  With all due respect, sir, get ****ed."

Kallen loves her fame. In fact in her back story I have her holding a press conference after Torfan to let the public know what she'd done as vengeance for Mindoir. when she became a Spectre every human in the galaxy knew about it. She's infamous amongst Batarians, they know if they see Red hair, Green eyes, and black lipstick, it's time to run. I will have it that After Arrival the batarians will want her head and be badgering the Alliance to hand her over for execution and she'll just taunt them with details of the asteroid hitting the relay and blowing the system to hell. She really hates batarians. haha

Naomi Shepard was pretty happy with her fame. Certainly she is intensely proud of her Star of Terra and the admiration of her fellow soldiers is gratifying. Being a recognisable figure among the general public does have it's more annoying points - mostly because it made it harder for her to relax without feeling she was failing to live up to some ideal of a perfect soldier - but it's still not something she objected to.

This changed a bit after the battle of the citadel though, because now she's famous as the person who let the council and 10,000 others die. Which might have been the right decision with the information she had then, but weighs heavily on her with hindsight. The Alliance seizing power and thus making her decision look like part of some sort of strategem makes things particularly bitter.

That's the right Spectre attitude, I'd say. Though I presume there are methods she'd prefer to avoid if possible (in my FemShep's case it would be things like killing innocents or sending people into danger with a lie).

It'd be counterproductive to replace her with anything anyway. Mine (Kate)  would be less inclined to view it as a betrayal, but would roll her eyes at the deceit. She realizes that sometimes it's necessary, but giving her a made-up face for a recruiting poster hardly strikes her as necessary. And the things TIM does, such as maneuvering Ashley to Horizon or not telling her the dead Collector ship is a trap, are over the line. She would board that ship anyway, and she knows Ashley would go to Horizon anyway. There's just no need for the lies. Likewise, she thinks the galaxy would respond appropriately to the Reapers if they were just told the truth.

That's a great expression. The rumor, as I understand it, is that you can make Shepard laugh and/or cry in ME3. But if not, at least we have well-timed screenshots to fall back on.

Damn. That makes me wish for a batarian squadmate, would make for some interesting drama there. Especially if, say, the batarian used to work with slavers and now is wracked with guilt over it and is trying to make amends.

My paragon(ish) Spacer Shepard still thinks of herself as an Alliance officer and is happy enough that she was replaced with a composite; the fame wasn't welcome after Akuze, but she's proud of the way her actions on the Citadel (Council saved, Reaper dead) have bolstered humanity's standing with the other races.

Sometimes it helps (reputation can do a lot to push people into agreeing with her), sometimes it hinders (when on a mission and trying to keep a low profile). On a personal level it can get annoying because it's (self imposed) pressure to be the best representative she can be for humanity and the Alliance (example: would loved to have punched the reporter or told Conrad to jog on but took a deep breath and stayed civil in both cases).

Now though, after Arrival, she knows everything else she's done will be ignored when weighed against so many deaths, despite it being necessary; but due to her background she feels obliged to turn herself in and face the consequences - although that could change if the verdict gets in the way of stopping the Reapers.

My renegade (Earth born) Shepard couldn't give a damn (the medal from Elysium got shoved into a drawer left there), famous or infamous (saving the council was a waste of resources to her), all she cares about is stopping the Reapers; if the Alliance want a trial they'll have to wait until she's done.

Both Shepards miss the Mako though!

 Okay, a bit random but I figured any Liara/FemShep fans would like this. Right, so my friend is a huge Liara fan, and her FemShep's name is Aayla, after the jedi Aayla Secura. She messaged me something she came up with between her Shep and Liara.

Aayla: Hey Liara! What’s up? I brought some booze.
SB Drone: Welcome back, master jedi.
Aayla:...Liara, seriously?
Liara: You wanted it changed so it didn’t call you the broker, so I fixed it. It’s suits your name, too.
Aayla: Then I’ll find out how to program it to call you Lia-Bear. I mean, if I can figure out how to program Legion to call all organics meat-bags then a simple drone won’t be hard to rewrite.
Liara:....I’ll fix it, Aayla, promise, ASAP.

On Fame ...



UJ is kind of oblivious to the fame. She really doesn't think about it that much, even though she did paragon Conrad. If someone shoves a camera in her face she will be as honest and as diplomatic as possible, but she won't linger. As for being replaced on recruitment ads she's a little pissed that they used her at all. The Alliance made her a hero after Akuze despite actual events. She did not like being used.



That said, if she survives ME3, UJ has her eye on politics. The system is broken and she can at least help to try and fix it.

Damara doesn't really care about her fame. She does her thing and is usually a little surprised when she hears about having a plaza named after her or having fans. She doesn't like it, but doesn't hate it either, she just ignores it.

As far as she's concerned, the galaxy is full of better people to look up to than herself, she sees losing Kaidan on Virmire and the others during the suicide mission as proof she's no good as a role-model or someone to be a fan of.

Deirdre seems cold and calculated on first contact. People common mistake is the presumption that it is a facade to mask a more gentle person: it is not. She will turn into a loose canon if provoked. Her deep unresolved issues surface too easily and very often cloud her judgment. She hates fame mostly because she view her image as a reminder of everything wrong with herself.
N7 doctrine is deeply rooted in her; she loves her job and is very good at it; she finds peace in it, doesn't derive pleasure from killing nor remorse; but a sense of accomplishment after each mission. Arrival is making her defense wall crumble forcing her to take a real look inward.

You just need to know how to get up those mountains. There's almost always some patches of, what I like to call, nonrock for the Mako's tyres to get traction on. Going up a rock cliff face will not get you anyware, unless you're a mountaineer.
