Love Kasumi's grenade throwing pose. xD
EDIT: Not to detract from Aislinn's WONDERFUL screens, but I've a question.
I'm still working out the kinks in my story progression for my fanfic, and I'm a bit stuck on how to progress Cameron, Miranda and Garrus as the three of them journey through the ME2 storyline. I've tried looking around some of the fanfic groups, but they've not updated in like...6 months? So I'd thought I'd ask you girls. Sorry if this is off topic, Ryn.
For some examples of character progression, I was wondering how/if your Shepard's grew over the course of the two games, how their personalities changed based on the choices they made throughout the storylines of ME and ME2.
I guess what I'm asking is has your Shepard changed over the course of the two storylines and if so, how has your Shepard changed?
Well, as simply as possible, Jessica definitely changed over the course of the two games. When she starts out, she's a damaged and hard-edged person because of her history on Earth, but she is still something of a starry-eyed idealist when it comes to alien civilizations and the potential of humanity in the galaxy at large. She is a true blue believer in the Alliance and what it represents, and her proudest moment in her life, the point where she finally felt like she left behind the streets of the slums, was getting that Star of Terra hung around her neck. She is a very lonely woman, and occasionally falls into a saturnine mood when things get rough, but in general she makes herself keep a fairly positive outlook on things.
In ME2 that all changes. Everything that matters to her and that she worked so hard to gain has been torn away from her, and to make matters worse a creepy organization she loathes is watching her every movement, and even giving her poor substitutes, mocking copies of everything that she cared about so much before. In ME2, her emotional malaise becomes a permanent condition, and her outlook turns positively fatalistic. She feels like she doesn't belong anywhere any more, that she ought to have died for good (or even worse, that she actually
did, and that Shepard herself is now just as much a false copy as the Normandy), and that her task is probably ultimately futile. The whole "Come on Liara, you've seen the data -- even if we pull this off, you and I aren't going to see the parade" line is a pretty accurate summary of her view on the entire situation. She still doesn't have the heart to use the "Sometimes I ask myself the same question," though, because if one thing has remained constant through her resuscitation, it is her loneliness.
The little vignette I wrote earlier about Shepard being a star in the first game and a rogue brown dwarf in the second is a more poetic description of this.
Not sure if that is what you're looking for. Hope it helps.

Great job!
