My blonde Shepard, Lena, is more neutral (not a true neutral though) than my other two. She's more of a "Let's get the job done and focus on that, but if we get to drop a few a**holes along the way, that's fine." She takes a lot of renegade options when it comes to mercs and people she consider threats to society and innocents, but outside of that she's mostly neutral with occasional paragon choices. It's all with good intentions though, then again all of my Shepards do, even the renegade.


(I also just realized my paragon Adele wears blue armor. So cliche. My renegade Alice wears bright obnoxious purple. Lena wears red.)

=============================

so, blonde sheps...

not many of them here and... can't brag about my memory but, all good girls ?
no renegade/renegon amongst their ranks ? um...

interesting point.

i remember seeing a few blonde cheerleader-like sheps over on the "share your shep" thread who were renegade. but of the ones i've seen here: teen's, sapphy's, gilsa's and my own - oh, and MDK's (am I forgetting anyone? oh, ELE's rose) - yeah, i think they're all paragons. dunno if that's putting the steorotypically "fair" hair with the "fair" personality or what. for me, it's just that i often play a blonde and while kyrie's gotten more renegade each playthrough, she really does fight to keep herself from going over to the renegade side.

Part of the reason I made my uber Paragon character blonde was because one of my favorite fantasy series with a female protagonist was The Deed of Paksenarrion, which is about a simple farm girl who becomes a paladin, much like the Dungeons and Dragons model, but far grittier and realistic than what the D&D rulebooks ever came up with.  Elizabeth Moon, the author, is a former Marine, and I love her take on military matters.  Gwen is not a paladin, but she has the same sort of outlook as Paks did, especially in ME1.

In my most recent playthroughs of ME2, however, I let her take a few renegade interrupts, and it felt right to me.  Gwen feels extremely guilty about working with Cerberus, and her actions are being affected by her frustration.  And sometimes it's just funny to let the cute blonde chick go badass and let loose on some bad guys, instead of waiting for them to finish their speeches just to kill them anyway.

I Paks. I need to get my husband to read it. Meghan was more a Buffy/Faith/Starbuck squish, so Paragrade is more right for her.

I wish that you could give smart ass answers without getting renegade points and that the renegade / paragon points were more for actual plot decisions that you make.

For example, you wake up in the lab most likely in pain, confused about wtf is going on and worried about the SR1’s crew etc… and you’re supposed to be polite and cheerful especially when they tell you Cerberus is involved?

see, i actually liked that you got renegade points for the smartass comments. in ME1, kyrie was straight-up paragon, save for taking down balak and running over a monkey. oh, and telling the turian councilor to go to hell in the mission report after virmire. she was in a bad mood then. but i didn't even get renegade points for shooting the shifty-looking cow that stole my credits! seriously.

anyhow, that didn't seem to fit her. she's clearly a paragrade/neutral. i end up with renegade points right and left for her foul-mouthed swearing at TIM and I like that. she'd never kill a merc in cold blood, but if they pulled up the gun first, she shoots. i think part of it is with the biotics, she's pretty fearless. it just seemed a little "i'll get them before they get me" to stab mercs in the back and all.

kyrie's not taking the renegade shots isn't mercy, so much as a sense of "just you try it, punk - give me a reason to take you out." if they give her no reason, they're not worth her time. and i think it's hella funnier to just see her listen to the krogan go on and on, like almost looking at her nails, than to have him get a rise out of her at that moment. yeah, i see kyrie as tending to the paragon because of lawful decisions sometimes, good decisions at others. she's somewhere on a sliding scale between lawful neutral and neutral good. she is good, but it's often out of a sense of "once you start down the path to the darkside, forever will it dominate your destiny," or something.

Thanks! It was actually an accidental shot I got on Freedom's Progress. It was more focused on Tali while Shepard looked away:

First off, let me say that I love your sense of humor when it comes to Kyrie. xD Murder Arson and Jaywalking, anyone?

Have we discussed what D&D alignment we think our Sheps are? Has this been asked? If not, I ASK THIS OF YOU ALL.

In all honestly, Cam would probably be mostly neutral good. Mostly because I think Cam would agree with the idea of 'if you point a gun at me or MY CREW, you're a dead man/woman/merc/alien/husk/suspicious looking cow."

Y'know, I think that is my single most favorite line in the entire franchise.  It's not spouting out facts or doing Q&A. It's a conversation and one that is beatifully deliverd by Hale. 

[leggywillow]

Oh, geez.  I know about the alignments from being a lurking denizen of the Interwebz for so many years, but I've never played D&D.  Hmm, I'll give it a shot.

Sadie - Neutral Good
Evie - Chaotic Neutral
Tess - Lawful Good
Jennie - Neutral Good
Kate - Chaotic Good
Liz - Chaotic Neutral... maybe borderline Chaotic Good?
Delta - Neutral Good

I don't think even my uber-Renegade can be considered "evil".  That's what I love about Mass Effect's Renegade system, particularly in ME2.  You can play a 100% Renegade without feeling like a mustache-twirling "MWAHAHAHA" villain.

daw, thanks.

well, i kind of already just said this, but i think the D&D alignment thing is whacked. you can't really be lawful good, because occasionally law and good collide. same with being chaotic good. to be good, you have to follow a code, which is not chaotic. so i always saw it sort of like a diamond shape superimposed on that old 9-square circle. if you're "lawful good" you'll eventually have to slide up into netural good (putting good over lawful) or down into lawful netural (putting law over good). if you really are chaotic, you have to be neutral, otherwise you either slide up into being a little more restrianed and good, or you jsut become pure chaos. and to be evil, you can't be too lawful, because the rules are there for the benefit of more than one person, and fully chaotic people would occasionally do the good, just to be unpredictable. anyhow, that's my thoughts on that.

so kyrie is lawful good, which means she slides from lawful neutral to lawful good. it fits with her alliance till the end personality. with balak, she felt she had to follow the law of not negotiating with terrorists over the good of saving lives. but with the rachni, for example, there is no law to follow, so she went with the good of mercy. with el nora, she follows teh law of taking the girl into custody, and that ends badly for the merc. that's my metric, anyhow. it makes it more interesting than straight paragon, renegade, or even neutral good.

[mellifera]

Alignments... hmm...

I'd say my paragon Adele falls under neutral good, my renegade Alice under chaotic neutral and Lena goes under chaotic good.

Not too well versed on alignments, but these seem right from what little I know xD Alignments are very reductionist, though.

I have a question:  For those of you with multiple FemSheps, do you think they would get along?  Would they approve of each other's actions?

Jen and Jane have always gotten along some how in some way, since they grew up together. Grace would like Jen but not Jane, only because Grace is more of a paragon with a few known renegade acts and Jane is a huge renegade, while Jen is a renegon.
But they all hate Cerberus.

But over all, maybe.

Madeline was raised by loving parents and her Father, so crushed by the death of his oldest son, sought the "shield" his surviving son and daughter form the horrors of the galaxy ...and teach them what they would need to survive if they were ever forced to face them. Maddy was a good child and new the differences of right and wrong, but witnessing her parents brutal murders changed her.  Taking a life was no longer a forgrien thought....she had taken 5 and it poisoned her already wounded soul, but the "blood" of her parents deaths (she felt as if their deaths were somehow her fault) and her lust to avenge them helped to "numb" that pain and made taking a life easier if she was forced to do so. She does not like to kill if she does not have to or act like a B***H to a certain Turian councilor, but sometimes her Father's strong and "hot headed" personality shines through and "gets her into trouble".

She tends to ride the "paragrade" line fairly well........but tends to "dip" to the Renagade side from time to time. 

[Calla S]

Hmmm... alignments, eh?

Dia is definitely Lawful Neutral, though leaning heavily towards the Lawful Good she was in ME1.
Stella is Neutral Evil.
Laura is Chaotic Good.
Calla is Chaotic Neutral.

Also @Yuki - I looove that shot of femShep. It's so easy to miss, but I got it of Laura and it's one of my favorites.

I think it's not about the Krogan getting a rise out of Shepard but rather having no time to stand there and listen to him monologuing about Clan Weyrloc's plans.

Isn't it just? When I opened up my screenshot folder I went "oooh." Now I want to go back and get it for my other Shepards xD I did restart Adele for ME2, so she's got a chance.

Well I guess it's time for me to jump in on posting some screen shots of my own.....saddly Madeline is'nt very  "social" here (not by choice of course...Digital camera shot of my T.V. don't turn out well for me AT ALL).

Thanks to ELE, I have a few to post that she was gracious enough to help me out with....thanks ELE

Anywho....These are actually for my FanFic that I am currently working on for Maddy's life. It started as a simple background profile and now it's turning into a novel: multiple chapters, sections, POV's of other charaters...It's turning into one HECK of a project!     I do plan to post it on FF.net and add a link here for you all.

I wanted to incorperate some "visuals" for my fic as well (details make the story) to add a little extra touch to it.  On that note, I have a 2 so far that ELE was nice enough to help me with and put together for me:

Something else I wanted to ask.



How does your FemShep act in combat? I don't mean my earlier comment about battle cries etc, but....her style of combat/combat tactics?



When I was leveling up Cam, I found that I focused more on the Barrier/Stasis talents earlier on and maxed those out, and then went for Singulairty.



Cam's a defender in combat, adding to her allies and then 'debuffing' or enemies with a Lift, Stasis, or Singularity. I would say the same about ME2, but she's a litte more agressive with her heavy Warp, but she still uses Pull Field and heavy Singuarity from time to time.

I probably should have gone with adept, as I really cannot use charge to any extent of usefulness...<_<
But Sam really had no idea she could even do that until she accidentally charged Harbinger on Horizon.  She prefers to sit back and pick off the enemy, so those mechs really get her.  But there's my own failings showing through to my fiction...

Battlefield: Meg's nuts. She prefers to be in the middle of it and lives for the adrenaline rush. Charge is the best thing ever invented. Meghan sees her job as keeping the enemy off her teammates so they can pick them off one by one.



Avery's far more cautious as an Adept. Singularity is her best weapon as is guile and controlling the battlefield. She always has a plan and it rarely fails.
