What is this thing with Vega and kitties? Something Casey said during Comic Con

Nah, just something we came up with here on the Vega Fan-Thread. The joke was that Vega will save kittens from the Reapers, namely "Sergeant Whiskers," a descendant or Ser Pounce-A-Lot.

This almost got me wanting to join this group.

Why almost?

Not really fond of guys with stereoids. His personality will be the judge of what I'm gonna think of him.

You don't need steroids to have that much muscles.

Agreed, I'm 6' 3, and was always heavily built. The difference between my build and guy's like Vega, is that they're iron pumpers, and work out every day. I'm a distance runner, I only do heavy weights once or twice a week, otherwise I'll put on too much muscle weight.

It is a point of principle that I don't take pictures of myself shirtless or working out. I leave that to the surfer dudes at Bondi and Manly. But, here is one of the pics that a friend snapped.

Pretty much.

I think "steroids" and "Jersey Shore" are the new "awesome button" and "immersion breaking" memes. Every time someone pops in with a steroid or Jersey Shore comment, they act like they're the First Person Ever™ to make that observation. Snark is fine, but folks should at least try to be original. I just hope that much like the other two memes, we're not still hearing these same ones months from now.

[NICKjnp]

It is possible to have muscles like that...though it is far from the norm. People come in all shapes and sizes.

Made Nightwing. Was a joke man.

I still don't get all of the steroid and "Jersey Shore" references. The big fitness boom of health spas and gyms started way back in the mid 70's early 80's and by the 90's, gyms were everywhere....long before that show existed. James Vega's appearance is hardly freakish. He's a fit marine. Good genes, a solid routine, and today's sports nutrition can get you a fantastic body without steroids.

A show that personifies bad stereotypes didn't invent fitness. Why so many people seem to think it did is beyond me. Must be my age. I don't understand many of this generation's pop culture and what is considered to be interesting today.

Well the amount of ppl who want "ripped" bodies grows somehow...thats maybe why there is so much hate for Vega and specially the steroids.And could you blame them,because really...seeing that "Jersey Shore" thing and later on seeing Vega,kind of makes me feel that he'll be dum as those guys on the show.Still we shouldn't judge a book by its covers...he may look like a steroid dude,but he may turn out a decent character in the ME universe.

Do the guys on Jersey Shore even use steroids? Or is that a myth generated by people who can't get results?

I don't know about the rest, but I can guarantee you that Ronnie (sp?) is on steroids. His body is not possible to achieve naturally, and honestly I don't judge him for it. There are A LOT of misconceptions and fearmongering about steroids and steroid use and not enough scientific evidence to back up any sort of deadly claim. Although to be honest, I don't know if he's smart enough to actually know that...

I hear steroids are quite useful in medical cases where a serious injury has been done to the muscle tissue. Doses have to be controlled...and I've been advised that they can cause some serious problems with a guy's reproductive organs.

Steriods are typically given to boys who are late in pueberty. Chemistry aside, steriods are basically man-made testosterone. It is the hormone that increases muscle size, voice depth, body hair, pretty much all second-sex charactaristics for men. Abuse of it however can cause the reverse like decreased testicular mass, break outs on the face, and even breast developement.

I don't think the Alliance would let a steroid abuser in lol. People are forgetting that we're living in a future where most people get gene therapy in the womb, along with soldiers.

Vega probably just has standard Alliance gene modification and is a fitness freak. He's not that much more buff than Jacob, after all.

Steroids come in many forms. People are terribly missinformed about them and how they function and the side effects they bring. I don't blame them, because our government in the States has a constant need to forcefeed the general population false information to uphold pointless laws created under false moral outrage. I've worked as a personal trainer for several years and know people use different steroids for different purposes and I had to do an immense amount of research on the subject because clients would always bring it up and I was never able to give them a satisfactory answer outside of: "don't do it because it's illegal." That bothered me to no ends, so I decided to read and spend months and months learning about the subject, and you'd be surprised at how much the government lies about it. For example, the government claims that steroids can kill you, but the fact is that there is no conclusive evidence of this. There is not one single written record in medical history of steroids actually killing a person. Of course, it CAN kill you if overdose, but that pretty much applies to any drug. Over the counter drugs like Tylenol can kill you too if you overdose on that. Doesn't make it inherently dangerous. And yes, steroid use has its side effects, there is no question about this, but again all drugs do. 

The most ironic part of the legal ban on steroids in America is that it was started as a way to appease the general population and avoid widespread moral panic when it was discovered that athletes were using the substances to get better results in their fields of expertise. The idea of "cheating" was thrown around a lot, and of course, I think it's correct. But for use outside sports the important part was to study the function of the drugs, not to ban them and pretend like they never existed. Either way the funny part is that I can guarantee you that every single major league and olympic athlete in the world is on some form of steroid or another. GUARANTEED! If you can find me one who isn't, I'll eat my hat! The main reason is simple: most of these athletes are under multi-million dollar contracts and a lot of pressure. Now imagine you were in that position and got word that another player on the team was using the substance but you couldn't prove it; you might not think that you'd try it, but if fifteen million dollars were on the line and so was your entire career and future, you'd do it too. 

So steroids are kind of like the policy on gays in the military in the U.S. until recently: "don't ask, don't tell." 

I could write pages and pages on the subject from people who have actually done scientific studies outside of American law, but I don't wanna' bore anyone.

And as far as affecting your reproductive organs: depends. Some can cause impotence if you don't know what you're doing, and all of them will cause your testicles to shrink temporarily. The last part is because the testicles are the site of testosterone production in the male body, so when your body feels it's being flooded with testosterone it will immediately shut down its own testosterone production as a defense mechanism. But they return to normal once you're off the steroids, which are usually done in "cycles" of weeks and then periods of rest for the same time, etc.

Human Growth Hormone is given to boys who are late in puberty. It's a little different than the typical steroid. And breast development only happens if your body has a natural affinity for converting testoterone into estrogen, which can be stopped and prevented by using estrogen blockers. 

And you'd be surprised of how many "steroid abusers" make into government positions. I've seen plenty of police officers who could not possibly have the bodies they have naturally. Most jobs don't actually test for steroid use when they test you for drug abuse: they test for street/recreational drugs like marijuana, cocaine, etc.

tl;dr version: Vega's body can be achieved naturally, and that's not even with a requirement of genetic enhancement. He's well within the range of average muscle growth for a human male even by our standards of non-genetically engineered people.

Anyone wanna bet on how popular Vega will be post-release? I remember the majority's reaction to Jack when the "Subject Zero" trailer was posted and now she's one of the most liked characters in ME2.

Just sayin...
