I didn't have the time to respond to your write up earlier about your Shepards. I particularly like Grayson & Gene and you showed me a few things about thinking up a character background. I always had this mentality that being the sole survivor left Shepard traumatized but I suppose thats isnt always the case. Time to think outside the box!![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)
Btw, I must add that if you & Messina has not started the write-up I might not have done so. it was largely inspiring to know that there are others who put equally much thought into the backgrounds/motives of their own Shepards.
Glad to be of some service, Aurica. I have always liked your inputs in these forums, because they show that there's both a brain and heart behind them. So I sense a good person at your end of the line. Keep it up, my friend.

As for the chances of the sole survivor being traumatized, I think the risk for that is considerably higher if you went through what happened on Mindoir, when your whole family died, especially if at a young age, when you're impressionable and have not yet learned to deal with the harsh realities of life. As a grown up soldier, it's tough to see one's squadmates bite the dust, but you're aware of the risk and prepared for things like that to happen, and every man on the force has normally signed on voluntarily for getting themselves into dangerous situations like that (hopefully in order to avert something even worse to happen). It's a different matter with civilians.

I think I've perfected the ME2 --> ME1 conversion. Like I previously said, I'm remaking my Shep into a Colonist/Ruthless Paragon just because I find the story to be so appealing.
If you've made any change to your character since last time we talked about him appearing in ME1, Prince, you're more than welcome to share the details of it in that place.
I'm also starting anew with my guy, Gene. Primarily because I want to get screenshots of him from the very beginning of his career with the new display I bought a couple of months back. But from our discussion regarding personal history etc I have also found reason to adjust his looks a little to better reflect his background which I have portrayed above. If we go on with the Tuesday Screenshot Day, I might show you all what I mean then.
