I like Athena. I'm very fond of the greek god/goddess names. All my FemSheps, except Holly (English) and Constance (Latin) have Irish names.

EDIT:
Woohoo!  Top of the page Holly!

I like the pic of Holly. And I've just always liked the whole mythology thing.

Hm....I think that's the name I'll go with. Now what class? XD Anyother ideas for her? I was thinking a soldier/colonist/ruthless or a soldier/earthborn/ruthless I'll start her later today or early tomarrow. But will post pics when she is made.

[mellifera]

All my Sheps are named courtesy of the random name generator at behindthename.com xD I am unoriginal.

Recycled Devon pic, I'm having one of those days where I sit at the computer but can't muster the strength to play anything.


@Shadow_Soul; I'd go with Colonist/Ruthless.

Interesting... my canon Shepard is Athena Shepard who is a Soldier/Earthborn/Ruthless. I'm fairly unimportant, though, so whatever I'm doing shouldn't have any bearing on what you ultimately decide to go with.

Something I 'shopped of my femshep Bailie, and Joker today.

I might go with colonist/ruthless. I'm trying to see if I can get her to be like the goddess Athena.

Athena, hah. Very similar name of a character from my favorite video game in existence (nope, it was not ME.) Definitely fancy the name, although I significantly doubt they have any connection. Althena was her name though.

As for what class. Well what have you not played? Personally, I am not one for Soldier, especially in Mass Effect. Too monotonous when compared to Vanguard and Infiltrator. I will always recommend those two classes myself. Being capable of charging a Colossal or head shoting the entire enemy entourage is a nice touch. Granted, you can do the latter with a Soldier.

Background, while Keira is Colonist/Ruthless for storypurposes. I found Earthborn/War Hero had the most in-game nod. That and shooting your old 'pal' from the Reds put a smile on my face.

I don't even know how I name my Shepards. Sometimes it just... falls into place before I even realize I've named her. With Dia, it was a name that I wanted to use before, but I couldn't figure out how. All the others, I got from perusing the internet, pretty much.

On the topic of Phoenix armor, though, I usually don't even like it on Ash. But then I played Gwynn, and it practically stayed on her the entire time.


Now I just wish I could put it on her in ME2. xD

[Shadow_Soul]

@Bourne
Played them all but engineer, when I think aboout it I have yet to try sentinel in ME1 either.
If I remember right, Athena is the goddess of war. So if I make her a soldier then just add the ability for her to use swords and crossbows (like I did with Lili and her katanas) then she'll be an expert at fighting and things that go with it.
But I love playing infiltrator, vanguard and soldier.
Well, should she romance Liara or somebody else? I'm thinking Liara but I want a certain look for the Liara romancer I make and it's not Athena from the image I have in my head. Sorry if I'm asking to much of you guys. But thanks for all the answers.
Ok, I think I'll try to start her later tonight. So there might be some pics up later.

edit:
@Calla
To give her pheonix armor, just make her ME2 armor pink n' white. It's not the same but it's the same colors, right? =P

I'm not a big fan of the non-Liara LIs in ME1, so you may just be better off waiting to pursue that until ME2.

[Cyansomnia]

I have to say, I'm getting some gorgeous shots in ME1 with flycam. Very moody and just perfect for my video. You know, I really like the soft lighting and ambiance in ME1...kinda miss that in ME2 sometimes.





These are stills of a few of the shots.

@Shadow

Perhaps go with a non romance for ME and therefore not 'cheating' in ME2. It would depend on her personality. I always liked Thane for my Femsheps compelled to comfort a lost soul, so to speak. Jacob, well... he is difficult to work with even if I like him, xD.



@Calla

I have a whole spew of names I fancy for both genders and alternate between them. Most are ones I would consider for a child, if I ever have one. Either way, it is usually based on how they sound.

[Shadow_Soul]

@TheMarshal
Neither am I. I've seen all romances except 2 thanks to my friend. She's played more then me and has more character even after she got it around September. (She used youtube for the other 2, and will never romance the 2 because she hates the character and the romance.)

@Aislinn
I love the pictures. They're amazing.

@Bourne
Yes. I agree. Athena will be single until either ME2 or ME3. Then I'll make another Shep for Liara because she's a good character and just amazing. Athena will probably either wait until ME3, atay single the whole time or with Thane. I'll make sure to ppost pics, then you guys can tell me what you think.

I'm chomping at the bit to post this Femshepley story I'm working on, but I don't know a good place to stop for the first chapter. Since I'm starting from after eden prime I think I should stop after shep becomes a spectre. should I make the chapter longer?

[leggywillow]

I like short names for my Shepards (Liz, Kate, Tess, etc).  I don't know why... having a short name that someone can bark out quickly seems fitting for a space marine who's constantly in high-pressures situations.  Actually, most of my Shepards have longer names than the ones they tend to go by.

When applicable, I use given surnames and names of other family members as jumping-off points.  (In Dragon Age, for example, my HNFs had names that went well with "Cousland" and also fit in with a family that had names like Bryce, Eleanor, Fergus, etc.)  So for my Shepards I tend to go with Anglo names that seem to jive well with "Shepard" and "Hannah".  EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I'm not saying that I think Shepard has to be Anglo, just that those are the names I tend to lean towards for her.

Behind The Name is my favorite website to use, since you can search by nationality or meaning or pretty much anything.  I HIGHLY recommend it; it's a fun site.

My Shepard names:
Sadie = Sadie Leigh Shepard

Evie = Evangeline Morana Shepard (She's my uber-Renegade, so I loved giving her a peaceful, religious-sounding name like Evangeline... although "Morana" means death so it evens out.)

Tess = Theresa Hannah Shepard

Jennie is just Jennie Shepard (Jennie probably isn't her real name but she doesn't know what it could be... Earthborn background and all).  One of my other Earthborns, Delta, is also just "Delta Shepard"... although Delta IS her real name, since her mom was simply a junkie who heard the word somewhere and thought it would be a pretty name for a baby girl.  

Liz = Annelise Johanna Shepard

Kate = Katherine Amelia Shepard

And my ManShep is Noah Anthony Shepard.  I don't know why "Anthony" seems like such a fitting name for Shepard's dad.  I've always thought of Shepard's parents as Hannah and Anthony (in most cases), and I know I've seen that name used in fics about her family as well.

Here's a question:  Do all or any of your Shepards have the same parents?  Alternate-universe versions, I guess.

And a FemShep:

@Leggy
Nope. My (2) Sheps won't have the same parents. Plus the fact I'm most likely making Athena an earthborn/ruthless while Lili is a colonist/ruthess and all. Well maybe, just an earth version and a colonist version. I don't know...
Oh but with long names, Lili was born Lilith. She changed her name to Lili after Mindior. Since there was nothing left for Lilith, she became Lili.

The only Shepard I had with a longer name was Lena, which was a nickname for Eleanor. I lost her data, so I'm gonna have to either remake her or make another Liaramancing Shepard at some point xD

[Calla S]

My longest name for a Shep is Gwynn's. Her name's Gwynneth James. Her father died a few months before she was born, so Hannah named her after him.

[Shadow_Soul]

I used the behindthename.com and looked up the names of my Sheps. Here'e the result.

Athena:


Gender: Feminine
Usage: Greek Mythology
Other Scripts: Αθηνα (Ancient Greek)
Meaning unknown, perhaps derived from Greek αθηρ (ather) "sharp" and αινη (aine) "praise". Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, the daughter of Zeus and the patron goddess of the city of Athens in Greece. She is associated with the olive tree and the owl.

Lili:


Gender: Feminine
Usage: German, French
German and French diminutive of ELISABETH, also sometimes connected to the German word lilie meaning "lily".
