I dont think is weird. Or if it is, I'm weird too
I have other sheps. I'm currently making a playthrough with Hayley. I like her, but sometimes it feels odd hearing "Abby's" voice with a different face... The other day, after Horizon, I just "needed" to go back to Abby in ME1...
Don't worry about the 'wall of text'. I like reading how other people RP their sheps.

If that's weird, than there are a lot of
werid people in this thread because you are definitely not alone. I'm a
one Shepard girl. I created Alex and while I've made some tweaks to her
appearance over time, she is still fundamentally the same. To me, Alex
is the one and only Shepard. I've tried creating other Shepards. I just
never get very far with them. It just looks wrong. Whenever the speak it
throws me off because they aren't supposed to sound like Alex. I
suppose that's just a sign of really good voice acting among other
things.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I have no idea why I love to play through Nona's story - I can't tell you how many times I've done it in ME2. I think one reason is that while I love creating new Sheps in ME1 sitting down and playing through it is very time consuming for me. Especially since I
have to do every side mission. It feels weird not doing every single mission, heh, I don't know why either. So it's time consuming and sometimes I just want to play a Vanguard with cryo ammo or an Engineer with stasis and don't want to go back through ME1 again.

I actually think I may be one of
the weird ones; I do not merely have multiple Shepards, I may be one of
the few without a 'canon' Shepard. I just can't quite get the face that
makes me say "That's it!", as opposed to "She'll do fine, let's shoot
something!"
And I just really, really enjoy building characters -
probably why I've been tabletop gaming for the past two decades. I love
the defining questions; did Earthborn Shepard even have a birth
certificate, or is her first official existence an arrest record? Why
did the Colonist survive - struck and left for dead in the raid? Ran off
into the hills to sulk after a fight with mom and watched in horror as
the ship landed not a quarter-mile from her home? Found slicked with
batarian blood in the ruins of a burned-out farmhouse and mutely refused
to let go of dad's hunting knife until she's sedated by the medic?
I
guess in answer to the question about how one personalizes a Shepard,
there's your answer; I start with the big questions and work my way down
to music, food, hobbies, guilty pleasures, all the little things. I
weave them like tapestries from the answers that make up a life.
I understand that too. I didn't really have a canon Shep until I played through with Nona which was months after ME2 had come out. And I had played through ME1 a *lot* before then. Had my xbox not crapped out I still wouldn't have had a canon Shep. I don't think it was until I had played DAO that I took an interest in role playing. I've played every BW game since KOTOR - but I had never role played in my life. Dark side/Light Side, Open Palm/Closed Fist - those things I did but not actual role playing. So when DAO came out I actually sat down and thought about each warden and their life. Anyway, when I got back into playing ME I actually for the first time considered more than just Paragon/Renegade, funny or serious or which LI to pick. And that made all the difference - it was like redescovering the game in a way.
And I love those questions! I just love role playing now, I wish I had figured it out (or even knew about it) earlier in my gaming history. BW has really spoiled me - they made RPG's easier to understand without it being overwhelming. I picked up Oblivion months ago and I was just...confuzzled. I had no idea what to do, when they said an open world they sure as heck meant it!
@ adneate BSG <3 So many great and amazing women on that show. Intelligent, strong, professional women, who kicked more @ss than I've sat on!
