Hey, characterization questions are fun. If anything they even make you think about stuff that you might not have even thought of yet.
Hell, it's been a few pages since the last one (which I realize I never answered), so let's throw a few out there now.
*Your Shepard has a "free day". On this one day nothing else matters. There is absolutely nothing that she, or any of her crew, need to either worry about or be threatened by. Not the Collectors, not the Reapers, not Cerberus. This day is hers to do whatever she wants before having to go back to "business as usual". What would your Shepard spend that day doing?
*Out of everything she owns (or did own, if it went down with the Normandy or something similar) what is the object that your Shepard treasures the most?
*What is one fact (or more, if you're on a roll) about your Shepard that, in universe, no one else knows? It can be related to her past, her personality, whatever.
... that should keep ya'll busy for a while
Haven't done this yet...
Free day. Hm. Depends on when it happens. If it's before the end of ME1, she'd spend it dismantling and upgrading armor and weaponry and putting a few hundred rounds through her sniper rifle at a firing range; she’s a techie, a perfectionist, and a loner by nature. She would finish it off with an afternoon and evening of reading. Wouldn’t matter what as long as it was nonfiction; could be philosophical or theological works, science books, technical manuals, medical essays, or her favorite, dissertations on sociology and psychology. She starved for knowledge growing up and she could never manage to fill that hunger afterward. After the end of ME1, it be spent quietly with Liara, talking or making love if Liara wanted, and reading when she didn’t. Jessica is perfectly content to have people she trusts just being around without the need to interact directly; in fact it’s her idea of a comfortable and intimate relationship.
ME2, that again depends on the time it takes place. Before the end of the game and Lair of the Shadow Broker, it would be spent much like the lonely day above, except with more shooting, less reading, and a lot more brooding. After LOTSB, it would be spent in the Shadow Broker’s ship, with a little bit of reading through the glut of information there on the terminals, but with a lot more talking with Liara, and in a much more open fashion than she ever would have before. I know some people’s Sheps would spend all day in bed with their LI, but Jessica’s history means she doesn’t have a normal view on sex. She realizes that it seems pretty important to Liara and would never turn her down (the one area of the relationship where Liara is the “man”, heh), and she enjoys it well enough after the fact, but she’s perfectly content to keep things intellectual and, after ME2, emotional, rather than physical.
Special object. A cheap little knife with a four-inch blade that she acquired as a gang kid back on Earth. The original handle split and she had it replaced. It was nothing special, but she carried it everywhere, even into combat on her hardsuit in an ankle sheath once she became a Marine. She scoffs at superstition but is nevertheless superstitious, like most soldiers, and that knife is her good luck charm. It saved her life more than once.
The day before the Collectors attacked and destroyed the Normandy SR1, Jessica lost that knife. She doesn't know if it was on the brief ground deployment into a science outpost that day, or if it vanished before they dropped, but it for the rest of the day she searched for it in a panick, and was depressed that night, which worried (and confused) Liara quite a bit. In ME2, on one of her visits to the Citadel she had a knife with a four inch blade tattooed on her left ankle where she always used to keep the real one. It's not as good as the real thing, but it's also oddly appropriate in a world where she's surrounded by copies, and at least this way she can't lose it.
Fact that nobody else knows. Well, if she'd told me, someone else would know, wouldn't they? Well, perhaps this: Shepard isn't her real name. She doesn't even know what her real last name was. The way she earned the name Shepard is a rather long story. It's doubtful there is anyone alive who knows or remembers how she acquired on it, but even if there is, she'll never see them again, so in effect, nobody else knows this but her.
Retour en haut
yes apologies for that
