I'm terrible at thinking of names for characters, so I usually just steal them from other games. Both my Shepard's are named after two of the three Valkyries from the Valkyrie Profile series. Those being Lenneth and Hrist.

If I ever make a third Shepard she'll be called Silmeria, which will complete the set.

I'm curious to see how the more extreme Renegade options will play out. I have a habit (despite the rampant "I  the darkside" commentary I give my BF) to play rather Paragon characters. So, when I made my "Renegade" character, I made sure she would do more than just take the Renegade response in situations.



Mellisandre Shepard
Earthborn, Ruthless, Adept

As a by-product of living on the streets and dealing with gangs, Melli is quite the manipulater. She is accustomed to bending people to her will. She's not a big believer in keeping her word. She'll lie to someone in a heartbeat to get her way, and then reneg on the deal. She also believes that you should make sure any possible enemies are dead if you get the chance.

This, of course, resulted in a very death-filled ME1 game.
Fist, Rachni, Gianna, Anolais, Shiala, all the Feros colonists, the Council

None of them made it into ME2. Wrex did though. Because Wrex was straight with her, and is probably the only alien that she likes. (It turns out as I played her Melli was rather xenophobic.) She left Ash on Virmire, because, well, she had spent a lot of time manipulating a certain L2 into thinking similar to her. She didn't want her hard work (and the prospect of possible getting into his bed) to go away.

Overall, I felt she was a ****y, amoral character - just after ME1. The ME2 import though. Ouch, I felt dirty after that one. Turns out, she loves working for Cerberus (and she built that dang machine to fix those scars ASAP because she didn't enjoy rocking that look). There were quite a few deaths, of both squad and NPCs, thanks to Melli in ME2. I've got a screenie of the squad mates that didn't make it.... but I'll refrain from posting it as it makes me sad. Let's just say that Melli believes in "acceptable losses" so long as the they don't include her.

I've been working up the courage to boot her back up and play the DLC on her. I did her playthrough before all the story DLCs came through.

As always, very good writeup, Sapphy. I like how you perceive your Shepards like that. Definitely interesting.

Seeing as how my only FemShep is a Renegade, I've been thinking of creating a Paragon one. However, that Paragon would have the Ruthless background. I thought it would be interesting to create a Shepard who has such a tragic background and has come to realize that she has grown to seek atonement. You'd expect a Ruthless Shepard to be Renegade, but that's not what I would like to do.

It's all just thoughts right now, though. I may or may not do it, but if I do create a new FemShep, she will be that -- a Ruthless atoner.

[sapphyreelf]

Thanks, Fiery!

I like the sound of the possible build for your Paragon there. It'd be interesting to see how she turns out for you (if you get around to doing her).

@ Mr.Vakarian - Impressive family tree. Well done.

[Cyansomnia]

"I Remember Me" is my favorite origin quest in Mass Effect.  It literally makes me want to cry (and sometimes I do). It's so perfect for Holly.  Talking Talitha down, hugging her, telling her everything will be all right...

I think it really gets to me because of what happened to Holly on Mindoir.  I have a vision of it in my head, but I haven't written it down.  Probably in a ficlet when I get the time.

As for Paragons, it's my favorite type of character.  I always like to play the good person and the hero.  Most of my DA characters are good, all my FemSheps except Moira are Paragons.  Even Moira is particular in her renegade nature.  She does things because she thinks they are necessary.  Her time on Earth taught her violence is usually the answer and the only way to get your point across.  She also has a biting and sarcastic personality.

She takes quite a few Paragon interrupts, didn't kill the Rachni Queen, didn't let the people die in the refinery on Zorya, etc.  Maybe one day I'll make a truly Renegade FemShep, but I doubt I could stomach it.

Thank you Jamie! 

I have the Shepard (father's) side of the family done back as far as the Shepard family imigration from Scotland to the U.S.A in 1912, but I plan to go a little father than that. 

Her mother's side of the family is still not complete much past her Great-Great-Grandmother as of yet.

I've got a ruthless paragon lined up. I've gone with a similar idea I've seen floating around the boards in that Torfan wasn't her being ruthless but a big tactical ballsup on her part that her best friend and second in command noticed but decided to try covering up for her and convincing her that it was a tactical calculation that in the end paid off albeit at the expense of 3/4 of her squad.

Name: Eiko Shepard
class: Engineer
Background/Profile: Spacer/Ruthless
ME decisions: LI Kaidan, killed Rachni, spared Wrex, sacrificed Ashley, let Council die, Anderson as Council choice
Her reasoning for not saving the council was because she figured if she had ordered for them to be saved she could have had another 'Torfan' on her hands. Then in ME2 she is having a repeat of Torfan, though this is all due to the fact the majority of her 'squad' from her victory over Saren and Sovereign refused to join up bar one of them, this caused her not to bother seeing if Tali would because she'd already refused her earlier on after Shepard's return so didn't want another crushing rejection. I already know who is surviving and whilst some would look at it as her being 'pro-human' it isn't the case.

Basically put, she lost Legion due to no shield upgrade, she then loses Garrus because she had fallen for him after Kaidan had rejected her on Horizon and believed he would be up for the task in the vents. Whilst still getting over that she didn't totally understand what Samara and Miranda had said so used Miranda as biotic and Samara to lead the other team (thinking that both teams needed a biotic). As Wrex had refused to help Shep had refused to go back to Tuchanka so never helped Mordin or Grunt with their missions, but not knowing that this would affect them, she sent Mordin back with the crew due to him being able to help them possibly. Thane dies in the swarm and so she gets to the final stage with just the 5 humans and Grunt. Considering she already lost all the rest of her aliens she begins to think that she is going to be perceived as a racist and so decides she must do her best to ensure Grunt survives so takes him with her for the final stage alongside Miranda. Thus by the end of the mission, as Eiko is so disgusted with what has happened and what TIM is asking, she refuses to hand the base over, Miranda quits Cerberus, Grunt ends up dead and Eiko comes out of the suicide mission with just only the human squadmates and really wondering how she is going to be perceived now and totally distraught by what has happened due to her bad leadership.

Will have it so I can have her inviting Liara onto the Normandy post-suicide so she can let out her feelings for all that is going on. This will probably be my first playthrough on PS3 version because I just want to get it over and done with because of me putting such a tragic spin on it. I do hope in ME3 Spacer Sheps get to see and/or speak to their mother because I think Eiko is going to be in serious need of help

Already used the PS3 demo to create her face. Not got any pics of her yet though. Will try get some took when get full game as I am not having her wearing the standard N7 armor post-Lazarus so would rather take some once got her in the outfit I see her wearing more.

Fiery, you should give a Paragon FemShep run a try. : )

Look at the dead woman, Mordin. It doesn't look like you saved her.
One of my favorite lines from ME2 and delivered brilliantly by Hale.

*another snip*

I actually didn't like the paragon lines on Mordin's loyalty Mission they actually sound like renegade lines.

[Cyansomnia]

Holly believes the Genophage was wrong as well. I love the lines from that conversation:

"Can you really just rationalize it all away? How do you justify it?"

I like the Paragon interrupts like punching Zaeed and pistol whipping Archer.  Sometimes dirt bags just deserved to get slapped.

"I oughta knock you the hell out.  Thanks to you, we have a burning refinery to save!"

Hales delivery of that line is EPIC.

None of my Shepard's actually had a problem with the genophage, especially after the speech from the weryloc guy talking about what would go down once the genphage was cured, Even my paragons like Angela, Mihka, and Novae Rog were high fiving Mordin for his work because not all the Krogan are reasonable like Wrex. Imagine if the krogan rebellions were still going on and Shepard had to do that instead of fighting the reapers. we'd all the screwed royally.

[Cyansomnia]

Wrex is taking over the clans in my game. You also utterly annihilate Clan Weyrloc, no matter what you're alignment. He even adopts their women and children (the only ones left) after the fact, making Urdnot stronger. I guess depending on what you did regarding Wrex, it could change things with the Krogan. Holly really doesn't have too much concern since Wrex is around.

He's incredibly intelligent, especially for a Krogan.  He knows the Reapers are coming, and starting any kind of war would be idiotic.  I think he understands that what happened in the past was wrong, wants to unite his people and look out for their well being.  It's obvious he wants to dramatically change things, which is why there is so much resistance from the other clans.

Also, he knows the krogan will be necessary in the Reaper War. Wrex isn't stupid.

Yeah Wrex takes over the Krogan in my game too, but Wrex wasn't in charge of the pre-genophage Krogan that were destroying the Galaxy. I'm oretty sure if Shepard wasa round we'd have the option to deploy the genopage ourselves (similar to the rachni decision) Hell we already destroy a cure for the Genophage in saren's base no matter what the alignment of our shepard is. I do wonder what the convo would be liek between Mordin and Wrex if they were in the same elevator though....

I didn't either.  I thought they were a bit harsh.  Also I tend to RP that even my most Paragon FemSheps are a bit iffy on the genophage, since I as the player am not sure how I feel about it.  I tend to see it as something horrible but also something that was very necessary.

At any rate even my Paragons who are probably against the genophage tend to keep their mouths shut during Mordin's loyalty mission.  She did blow up a genophage cure herself at one point, even if the circumstances were quite different.

Re: Renegade/Paragon

I'm really happy about how Bioware managed the Renegade.  Usually I NEVER take bad guy options because they just make me feel too bad, but in ME my more Renegade characters are some of my favorites.  Evie's Renegade bar is 100% full (with her Paragon bar about 15%) and she still feels like a realistic (if ruthless) character.  Renegades aren't necessarily mustache-twirling villains like the bad guy option in so many other games.  In so many games, the good/evil options really do boil down to Mother Teresa saintliness or a baby-eating Hitler.  Mass Effect successfully avoids that for the most part, IMO.
