Default Jane isn't based on anyone, considering how her face can be created using the in-game character creator. Unlike Sheploo, for instance.

Default Jane Shepard is actually her own model.  Yes, you can nearly replicate her in the creator, but there are subtle differences: her hair's color is unique, as is its specular map; the eye shape is slightly different than the closest eye shape in the creator; her mouth is not quite the same.  Stock Jane will always be just a little different than anything anyone comes up with manipulating the sliders themselves.

It's not much, but at least it's something.

edit: Uh-oh!  ToPShep time.  I don't have anything new available so we get a "best-of" show.

Ryn, that's some fine rant you got there. I've got to say, though at the risk of going off-topic, female protagonists are slowly becoming prominent (or so it would seem). I don't know if you've ever played Mirror's Edge (another EA game developed by DICE). Aside from being one of the top 5 games I've played this generation (literally speaking), it features a very interesting and badass female protagonist -- Faith:



Faith is actually the reason I played through the entire game (not that it was awfully long) a lot of times and got lots of achievements in it. She was an all-round awesome character to see the beautiful world of Mirror's Edge through.

Of course, I have other female protagonists that are definitely worth mentioning, but since they were in games released nearly 10 years ago, I'm not going to bother.

Because of new computer I'm taking my canon Jane Shepard through ME1 again and since I've never actually posted pics of her in here. I thought to rectify that.

Here she is. Jane Shepard, Colonist/Survivor and mostly paragon, but tends to do renegade things from time to time.







:wub:

I'd give Mirror's Edge and Faith a try if I wasn't prone to motion sickness.   lol!  I'm really looking forward to giving DA2 a spin, the default FemHawke is gorgeous! 

Just a slight note: You can download the Mirror's Edge demo off Xbox Live Marketplace right now. I *highly* recommend that you do so I can hear your thoughts on it.

I have a question for everyone who has an Earthborn FemShep:



Where was your Shepard born? Where did she grow up?

New York City...in the slums.

Default Jane - Unlike default male Shep and default male and female Hawke, default Jane can be used as a starting point to create a new femShep. Like Sable said, it's not much, but it's something.

Interesting... I wasn't aware Rachel was an Earthborn. Or is she?

Though I didn't say it for certain in her backstory, I was imagining Toronto, since people have commented on fem!Shep having a slight Canadian accent sometimes.  Wherever she was born, she grew up on the streets without any memory of her parents, probably with the Reds the whole time.  Being in the Reds is her first memory at least.

 There's something quite inspiring about a scruffy orphan girl rising up from the slums of Earth, and becoming the saviour of the galaxy and the girlfriend of the Shadow Broker.

My running joke while imagining Anelle's backstory was Kaidan saying "You think MY life was rough?" when Shepard tells him "You haven't had the easiest life, I like the man it made of you".  I love the earthborn background!

Actually, a question. Earthborns get a bonus to Renegade points because of their rough and tumble background, but am I wrong in thinking a lot of us have paragon earthborns like Anelle?  What was your earthborn, paragon/renegade/renegon?

I do need to create an Earthborn Shepard. It's currently the only pre-service history that I have not used with any of my Shepards. There's something quite inspiring about a scruffy orphan girl rising up from the slums of Earth, and becoming the saviour of the galaxy and the girlfriend of the Shadow Broker.

I need to try it!

You should, Les! And I agree - that's why it is my favourite pre-service history.

My current Shep is Earthborn, and she's mostly paragon with a slice of renegade. Basically she's good to people who are innocent of any wrongdoing, and ruthless with criminals/mercs.

Singapore.

In the mid 21st Century, after the 2012 implosion of the U.S. dollar and the global financial collapse, the stricken Chinese dragon convulsed under the economic rubble and swept the surrounding marches into its Communist maw in a futile attempt to sustain itself.  Mongolia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Bangledesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, and a handful of other nations were all devoured, and then, as the Communist government fragmented and Balkanized the country, were vomited forth again to recover on their own, if they could.  The Singapore of uninhibited capitalistic venture and free enterprise, with one of the highest standards of living in the world, no longer exists by Jessica's time.  Instead it is dingy, dangerous, and run by organized crime.  The nation's sole remaining claim to importance is Singapore International Spaceport, built atop what used to be the Palau Brani naval base, and given the state of the country, the perfect place for the engineered detonation of drive cores in attempts to induce biotic manifestation.  After all, it's just Singapore, nobody is going to care enough to do anything about it.

Right outside the spaceport is Street 10, and that street is the home turf of the Red Dragons of Street 10, Tenth Street Reds for short, one of the many gangs of disposessed youngsters that operate on the sufferance of the organized crime syndicates and maintain the larger organizations' hold on the territory.  That's where Jessica's early life played out, with all its crime and darkness and violence and despair.  That was where Jessica could look at the Alliance Recruitment Center every night behind the razor wire of the Spaceport fence, and long for escape.

(I've worked this out for the fanfic I plan to write after I finish ME3.  If you look at a map of Singapore you'll actually find the geography I mention.)

My earthborn/sole survivor is renegade. Or renegon I suppose since she takes neutral or paragon options on some of the major decisions. And is nice to her crew.

That's actually something I have trouble with - even when I try to be renegade I still feel almost obligated to be nice to the crew. :-P Shepard's got a soft spot for his (in that particular case) crew, I guess.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Definitive Mass Effect Cast Interview, but I'm just reading Part 4 right now and one comment stood out and made me go "Heh."

Retroplayer- How do you want Mass Effect to be remembered?

Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard)- As an awesome game that’s even better when you play as the Female Shepard.

She rocks!

rynluna wrote...

FemShep and Jen Hale just deserve more
credit for being so awesome. I'm already getting depressed over the
fact that the tale of the unique, strong, female hero is going to come
to a close in about a year. : (

I think i read somewhere that Mass Effect has vast universe and characters so it could continue in one way or another after ME3.

Sheploo... To be perfectly honest I
don't really like him and never played MaleShep. For me only FemShep is
the main character of Mass Effect!

The second i saw character gender options i chose the only correct one Actually i do that in all games that have it

Finally finished. And Illusive Man is reeeeeeeeally pissed off at Rayne [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie] Haha!
Second playthrough coming up! Since Rayne is Ruthless Colonist her sister will be Earthborn - Sole Survivor [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/sideways.png[/smilie]

and the girlfriend of the Shadow Broker.

Who would've known that Shadow Broker will come to visit captain's cabin?

Los Angeles, whose population dropped immensely once the space race began, and everyone with money started moving to the colonies.

Okay, my internet has been out for a while. Here is my fanfic I was going to post when it went out.
Suicide Nightmare

That's very well thought out, Sable.

... not quite. Noah is a Renegon. If she sees a way to make a situation work in her favour, she will take it.
