Hey, I've been on a few threads where I've shared pics of player characters that were relevant/applied to each particular thread I posted in. I know a couple of them are closed now (those redirected to a Mass Effect Shepard-show off thread where face codes are posted) and the Dragon Age character show-off posts were in overall discussion threads, not just pic-posting ones.


So after a while, I found I was posting pics in several different threads, so not everyone could see every character I've ever made, and certainly not all of them could see the characters I was most proud of character-creation-wise.


So I just had a random thought. Since Bioware games focus on detailed character creation in this millenium thus far since the first Mass Effect, and since it is SO hard at times to use the character creation in either Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age Origins, sometimes we feel lucky if we get even a passable character at all.


It would be cool if we each posted two of our characters that we were most
attractive to us, the creators of our respective characters, and showed
them off for all to see as well as compliment/admire others work.


I'll start with my two characters as an example, but here are the rules:


-I'm only starting with Mass Effect and Dragon Age series' for now since past Bioware games (that I know well) have only had preset faces or bodies. I honestly never played the Baldur's Gate series or Neverwinter
Nights, so if either of these games had a cool face-creator like Mass Effect or Dragon Age, by all means use those characters.

-Depending on which of the two series' you own... post either one male and one  female (can be from either series or one from each), two males (one from each series), two females (one from each series), and obviously if you only own one of the series you can do any of the choices with your particular series

-I'm leaving the cap to two characters because a)its a good number given I focused on Dragon Age and Mass Effect and giving an opportunity for you to post the best from each, and B) because narrowing it down to two can make you really think about which characters (that you created the looks of), you can be most proud of.

-This is kind of an artistic-related topic, as we're showing off our best-looking characters, so characters modded and unmodded are allowed and welcome. This isn't a competition and the point is to share creations you're
personally proud of. The only characters you can't post are default models, such as Sheploo or default Couslands, etc. You had to have modified the face to your preference. If you feel like you can't post because you couldn't make a character you thought looked good, don't! Post your best, even if you feel you don't like it. People can find beauty in any shape and form. I learned this after I was so terrified my characters would be considered
ugly, but found a warm reception from others about them.

-After you post the pics, tell us a little bit about your character. Can be anything really, but I'm sure most people will be interested in finding out classes, specializations, backgrounds/origins, and even their lovers
(at least I'll be interested). Anyway those are just ideas. Put whatever fun info you want.

-I don't think this'll be a problem, but lets please not diss anyone's creations. Constructive criticism is fine if done respectfully. Lets keep it fun, people


Allright, anything else I think up I'll edit, but basically thats it. We're showing off the two best-looking characters in our minds.



Anyway, as I said, I'll start:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



MY BEST-LOOKING DRAGON AGE ORIGINS CHARACTER:



Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Name: Sundira Aeducan

Political/Military Status: Member of the Royal Family of Orzammar, Commander of the Grey
(Ferelden), Paragon

class: Rogue

Specialization(s): Duelist, Legionnaire Scout

Background before his/her rise: Dwarf Noble of House Aeducan

So Who's the lucky guy/gal in a relationship with this character?: Alistair,
and he's damn proud of it, I bet B)

Living Relatives: Bhelen (younger brother, current King of Orzammar)

Do you think said living relatives are proud of this character? Or if there are
no living relatives, do you think your character's close family members WOULD
be proud of your character's actions and accomplishments?:

-I think so, yes. Sundira's relationship with her brother was rocky, especially
with her framing and exile, but she grew to know that it was necessary and her
brother was the rightful king and savior of Orzammar, so she cooperated, and
soon found her efforts repaid, starting with her status granted back and her
being named a Paragon.

Fun OOC fact/opinion about this character you'd like to share: I just wanted to
say that when it comes to female characters, I have a lot of trouble trying to
make them look good, and by accident usually I end up making them wierd with an
excess of make-up (usually dark or bright make-up, nothing in the middle), or
at times I don't put enough and these characters look too plain. Sundira is the
first female character I created where I threw away my previous methods, only
added as much make-up as I felt absolutely necessary, and left the rest up to natural
beauty. My new techniques paid off, imo, as I'm extremely proud of this
character.
-Also, current armor: Wades Superior Dragonskin armor





MY BEST-LOOKING MASS EFFECT SERIES CHARACTER:



Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Name: Jae Shepard

Race: Predominantly Korean, but some caucasian (of unspecified nationality)
mixed in.

Political/Military Status: Citadel Council Spectre

class: Engineer (+ extra Assault Rifle training)

Specialization(s): Mechanic

Background before his/her rise: Spacer, Sole Survivor

So Who's the lucky guy/gal in a relationship with this character?: Tali'Zorah
vas Normandy

Living Relatives: Captain Hannah Shepard (mother, Captain of the SSV Orizaba)

Do you think said living relatives are proud of this character? Or if there are
no living relatives, do you think your character's close family members WOULD
be proud of your character's actions and accomplishments?:

-Yes, Hannah is extremely proud of the work her son Jae has done as an Alliance
Officer and a Spectre. She is happy to know he's still alive and proud that he
has maintained his good moral values while serving the galaxy.

Fun OOC fact/opinion about this character you'd like to share: There are
several I'd like to share-

-The spelling of his name "J-A-E" I believe to be uniquely Korean,
which is part of the reason I picked it. The general character is kind of a
tribute to one of my good friends who I still hang out with from time to time.

-All pics are from Mass Effect 2, because Mass Effect 1, where he still looked
badass, had a wierd hairstyle, and the Mass Effect 2 version makes him look
badass and good imo

-Though the pics don't show the final equipment set, the final armor setup was
as follows: Aegis Vest, Asymmetric Defense Layer, Stabilization Gauntlets,
Stimulator Conduits

I have designed this char based on a book cover featuring one of my all time favourite hero.
As for ME2 I always play Sheploo, so nothing to see there.

Nilisa, my Orlesian Dwarven Warden. She looks stunningly cute but also quite serious.

And here's one of my 8000000 Jane Shepards:

I have Mass Effect on the Xbox 360 so I really can't show off my favorite Male and Female Shepard.  

But  I have been messing around with the Mass Effect 2 Demo and this is my favorite character I made from the demo.

I too have only the 360 version, and I don't own a digital camera. It's too bad, cause I really like my Shep.

I don't have Mass Effect, so two wardens for me. I have made many and there are several I really like, but overall I'd say it comes to the two human nobles :



The male rogue/ranger/duelist/scout

and the female warrior/templar/champion/guardian

Thanks, I do have a camera and the photo editing software to clean up the image but i'm still not a fan of doing it though. call me a perfectionist.

Great Wardens! You did a good job with the facial structure of each. Good use of Duncan's features on your male Noble, and your female Noble's face looks very realistic. Both do actually.



@Captain Cornhole



Well as you can tell, my tv screenshots are not edited, and they don't look too bad anyway imo. No harm in at least trying :)

Vanguard. Ruthless.

More of a renegade than a paragon, but mostly neutral.

Centered in human Interests. Results at all cost. Got the Citadel Council killed. Disappointed by the Alliance. Like home in Cerberus.
Rational but  abrupt.
Admires Mordin Solus and The Illusive Man.
Fascinated by AIs. Will take a bulett to save Legion.

Romantic interests: The Illusive Man (only one that picked her interest so far).

Teammates: Legion, Miranda and Solus.

-

I'll post a Gray Warden as soon as decide wich one, right now i'm like: this one... no, this one... humm, this one better.

You can see my shepards and wardens in each albums, I'm quite proud of them all, and if I am not proud of one I delete it.

Thanks, I still can't choose a warden (I can't post two, can I?), maybe I'll post another shepard instead.

I hope this forum gets more posts because it is the only one I've found that actually asks for the character's... well character, and not only his/her looks.

**Best Mass Effect Character**

Posted Image

Name: Damara Thalia Shepard.

Race: 100% Scots-Irish. Hence the whiter-than-snow complexion, bright red hair and green eyes.

Political/Military Status: Citadel Council Spectre

class: Infiltrator

Specialization(s): Assassin (Still in ME1, but will be in ME2)

Background before his/her rise: Colonist, War Hero

So Who's the lucky guy/gal in a relationship with this character?: Liara T'Soni

Living Relatives: None. All killed in Mindoir attack.

Do you think said living relatives are proud of this character? Or if there are
no living relatives, do you think your character's close family members WOULD
be proud of your character's actions and accomplishments?:

-Definitely. Although the temptation to stray has been strong, and ignoring the occasional misstep (That Cerberus doctor really needed killing), Damara has refused to throw away the morals and standards of behavior her parents raised her with.

Fun OOC fact/opinion about this character you'd like to share:

-I made her Scots-Irish and gave her a name from Celtic mythology because I'm mostly Scots-Irish myself.

**Best Dragon-Age Character**

Posted Image

Aelina Elethea Theirin-Cousland

Political/Military Status: Cousland Nobel, Commander Of The Grey, Princess-Consort, Arlessia of Amaranthine.

class: Warrior
Specialization(s): Champion, Guardian

Background before his/her rise: Daughter of the Teryn of Highever.

So Who's the lucky guy/gal in a relationship with this character?: King Alistair Theirin (Although when Alistair is away, she invites the court minstrel up to her chambers, adamant that it is simply for the warmth because the bedchamber is drafty. Leliana, for her part, just smirks when asked about it.)

Living Relatives: Fergus Cousland, current Teryn of Highever.

Do you think said living relatives are proud of this character? Or if there are
no living relatives, do you think your character's close family members WOULD
be proud of your character's actions and accomplishments?:

-Fergus couldn't be prouder of his little sister, saying that he knew she was destined for greatness, but defeating the Blight as the Grey Warden commander, marrying the King and becoming the Arlessia of Amaranthine is slightly beyond what he anticipated. Both are convinced their parents would have died of pride had they seen what she accomplished.

@Am1_vf- well as for the rule I set with only two characters total, I feel like I want to retain that rule since having people post too many characters as their "favorites" could get a bit saturated. I think two is a good number since it makes one really think about who their best characters are. If, after reflection, you still can't choose between your finalist wardens, maybe send me a message? I might make an exception if you're absolutely torn between two Wardens, but you need to let me know first. If you can't choose between 3 or more wardens, then all I gotta say is that you should be proud of yourself for being able to consistently create good characters, and maybe post a new thread with a link so we can all vote on our favorites :D.



Also I hope this thread continues to grow, too, after its recent revival, for the same reasons as you mentioned, especially with more people posting info as well, since I'm sad with just the pic posts here :(



@Blze001- Awesome characters, and info. Double awesome for using my format. Totally didn't need to do that, so that's totally awesome! Ok that sounded too surfer-like. Anyway thanks a bunch :D
