She's an amazing character that unfortunately is too much for certain people to handle.

First time I saw her trailer I said a big loud "WTF".

When I played the game I was pleased with every single moment I had with her, conversations, fights, casual sex, romantic sex, rejection, swearing, Pragia, blood-pack killing, all of it, amazing.

And this is all coming from a hardcore Miranda fan !

You are beyond awesome, not to mention the detail of having Riddick in goggles. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it.

I played ME1, and it was fun or whatever, but I finished two campaigns and I pretty much left it in its case.

Then I saw this...

I knew nothing about her or the concept of ME2 at that point, but after that trailer, I knew I needed to play it... Over and over again.

That's right, Jack sold me on Mass Effect 2.
So I know this style of music isn't necessarily in keeping with Jack or most of the other Jakolytes who have shared their music, but This totally reminded me of Jack. It even reminded me more of her onsidering the song is from a period where a personality was even more rare than it would be in the late 22nd century

I cheer, I rave for the virtue I'm too late to save
The sadder but wiser girl for me...

I smile, I grin when the girl with a touch of sin walks in
I hope and I pray for Hesther to earn just one more "A"

I yearn, I long, for the woman
who's Pop say's, "What went wrong."

"The Sadder But Wiser" covered by Seth Macfarlane

Again, not in the same vien as NIN and other industrial bands I imagine her listening to, but it definitely reminded me of her.

You should read the old thread in the ME2 section, some great discussions in there.  I'm actually re-reading it, lmao.  Plus, I'm glad it's not over 1000 pages like the other fan threads.  

@Nightfable

That is badass, love her look in the third panel, dem lips!

Have you read the other fan threads? They tend to get a bit creepy. Like girlfriend pillow creepy.

Quality over quantity, I believe that's the right term.  A lot of threads tend to build up a lot pages talking about the same exact thing 10-20 pages ago, it just get's annoying in my opinion.  Obviously it's hard to keep up consistant talk about a certain character, especially without repeating old topics, but some threads overdue it.  There's always the factor of new faces adding their own unique perspective to the topic, which is good, but I just find some threads believe they need to let their thread stay on page 1. 

This thread has gone silent for weeks before and I don't find that a bad thing at all.  There will always be room for new discussions when new information pops up.

Man, since Jack got SUCH a overhaul on her look im guessing she will be a perm squadie, she dosent really have anywhere else to go.

I wish this was the case but sadly she won't be. we're stuck with mostly the ME1 characters as our perm squadies (As far as i know)

I have to admit, as a big Miranda fan, that things sometimes get quite..................personal............back in her main thread !

Ooh, me likey.

On a semi-but-not-really-related note, my Shepard (face by 100k) took some time out of his busy Sunday afternoon schedule to troll Jack, and I got a photo:

1. Peoples thoughts: She can be b*tchy: Shes Jack. Shes going to be that way cause well thats her character. But thats what makes her cool.

2. Mirimancers:. They hate Jack cause Miranda hates Jack.

3. Probably her clothing.

But that what makes Jack the best.

You should visit us mirimancers at our thread ! We were having a talk about Miranda's views on Jack, some of us agreed that Miranda's opinions are quite mean and unjustified !

We're not that unreasonable ! We're not talimancers  !

[Psycho_Kenshin]

Jack is best. Hopefully there's plenty of Jack in ME3, or we'll flip this forum like a table!

Probably the number 2 reason I like Jack is because she's a Vanguard. Number one is the tats.

Should we assume you like Jacob as well ?

[Scy Lancer]

Jacob seems like a weak Van. I honestly don't like Jacob for many reasons, but that's not why I came to this thread. I wana hear what other Jack fans are talking about. I heard that her character is getting a major revamp and wanted to know peoples thoughts and speculations on it.

[Harmless Citizen]

Well, we know what she looks like (presumably), and I personally love it. As for her role in ME3...well, I like it too--as it shows character growth--but it seems far more fitting years down the line, not mere months later. Besides that, I'm just going to admit my butthurt and say I wish her part was larger -- especially since I'm not too excited about Vega (though I don't dislike him), and the other two squadmates are strictly do not want.

Also going to have to find a new playstyle, it seems, since Jack was 1/3 of my ME2 biotic wrecking ball band.

Her new hairstyle rocks. At first, I was in the camp that wanted her to stay bald. But they have genuinely done a really good job. She still looks like she will fling you into a wall if you dare make any suggestions that she is going 'feminine.'

Also, I am SO relieved that they didn't sexualise her some more, like they seem to have done with some people. That is one of the things I loved about her. She didn't give a f*** about looking conventionally sexy.

Hell, she doesn't even have to try to look hot.

[fainmaca]

Good Monday, Jack fans! I'm getting stuck into the next chapter of my fic, but I thought I'd take a quick break and post one of my Jack scenes here to see what you guys think. To set the scene, this is a Jackmance Shepard version of my vision of ME3. Jack was re-recruited a while back and things were looking up for Shep/Jack, but now he's gone and made a decision that she doesn't agree with. Please let me know what you think.

~o~0~o~

The red-lit section of the ship was deathly silent, few if any of the crew having the courage to actually come down here. In fact, Shepard had a hard time recalling ever seeing anyone else down here after Jack moved in.

In just a moment, he'd clambered down the stairs and walked out into the open space before Jack's 'quarters', his pace slowing. There she sat, cross-legged on her bed with her favourite shotgun balanced across her lap, a variety of cleaning chemicals placed carefully next to her while she performed some kind of gun maintenance. As he approached, her gaze flickered up.

The change was instant. Where one moment she had been relaxed, focused on the task at hand, the next she was on her feet, the shotgun discarded, the chemicals spilling onto the floor. Her face twisted with rage, eyes narrowed while her brow furrowed.

"What the f*** do you think you're doing down here?" It was less of a question and more of an instruction to leave. Shepard was not cowed, even though his survival instincts were yelling at him to get the hell back up those stairs.

"I came to talk to you." He said calmly.

"You'll be f***ing lucky. Get out."

"Jack, please. You've got to-"

"I don't have to do a damn thing! We had him right there! He was sitting at the end of my shotgun, waiting to die, and then you let. Him. Go. I should have known you'd f*** me over, just like everyone else!"

"I had very good reasons for letting him live, Jack. We need Cerberus to-"

"Bulls***! They're all twisted bastards, f***ing with people's lives just cause they can." She looked away, blinking rapidly. "And now they're just going to keep on doing the same old s***. We had a chance to end it, and you f***ed it all up!"

"Jack, killing the Illusive Man would have fixed nothing." Shepard tried to take a step forward, but a sudden blue barrier flared up between him and the biotic. "It wouldn't make things any easier going forward."

"It would for me! We're always worrying about what's good for the Galaxy, but what about what's good for me? That a**hole stole my childhood. He paid to have me turned into a weapon. Then, when he had the chance, he got me back on the operating table to f*** around with my biotics some more!" Her head snapped around to face him. "And now you try to tell me that killing him wouldn't solve anything? Don't you dare. Don't you f***ing dare!"

"Jack, without The Illusive Man, Cerberus would fall under Banes' control. Do you really want to gamble that that's a better outcome?"

"We should have taken the chance!"

"Damnit, Jack!" Shepard's voice cracked with frustration. Was this really what Sha'ira had meant? "We've got to think about millions of lives, not just our own! Do you really want to risk all those deaths just for petty revenge?"

There was an icy silence, during which Shepard's brain fully caught up with his mouth. Had he really just called Jack's legacy of torment 'petty'? The stricken look on her face said it all.

"So that's what you think? That's what you really think about all the s*** I've gone through? Petty?" She looked away, a trickle of black running from the corners of her eyes as her make-up began to run. "I should have known. I'm just another project to you, right? Just another f***ed-up person who needs the godly Commander Shepard to come rescue them from their own problems."

"Jack, that's not- I didn't mean-"

"Get out." The voice was flat, calm. She didn't even look over her shoulder as she said it.

"I thought we loved-"

"Don't even try it. What we had is finished, in the past. 'Cause that's the worst thing about you. Its what I hate the most about you. You made me vulnerable. I was fine before you showed up. I'd made myself strong. Nothing could get at me, nothing bothered me. Then all it took was for one idiot to come along and get inside and f*** me up. You convinced me to give you a part of myself, and now just looking at you hurts. I hate that feeling. I hate being weak. But most of all, I hate you. Now leave. Get out of here and leave me the f*** alone."

That last sentence was so full of venom Shepard felt himself take a step back, a shaft of pain spearing through his chest. He struggled to open his mouth for a moment, then tentatively reached out towards her with his hand.

"Jack, please-"

"I said GET OUT!"

She spun, the warning flare of her biotics coming too late for Shepard to pick up on the danger. A biotic push, more powerful than almost anything he had seen her pull off, roared towards him, picking Shepard up bodily and hurling him into the bulkhead behind where he had been standing. Metal shrieked around him as several wall panels were ripped from their fastenings. One pipe running within the bulkhead ruptured, white steam pouring out in a choking could. In the midst of this carnage, Shepard groaned as white fire raced up his spine, his body's implants kicking in to supply Medi-Gel and painkillers. The roar from the attack shot through the ship, felt even in the hangar within which the Normandy was being housed. Overhead, Grunt's heavy footsteps could be heard rapidly approaching, as well as the mechanical whine of Legion's internal gyros. The crew gathered on the Crew Deck all released sounds of fright and confusion as chairs fell over, food spilled across Rupert's counter and Crewman Hadley was tipped out of his bunk. On the Command Deck, Mordin let out a dismayed yelp as the test tubes of volatile liquids he was working with jumped, spilling over his lab coat and immediately starting to eat away at the white material. In the armoury, Jacob and Garrus reflexively reached for the nearest gun they could find.

Jack's face hitched a little, betraying her surprise at the power of the attack. She took a reflexive step towards the Commander, hand reaching out anxiously, but then her face hardened as she spun away, retreating into the darkness of the sub-deck.

"Jack…" Shepard struggled hoarsely. He managed to rise onto his elbows, but found that his legs fought him as he tried to stand.

Moments later, Grunt, Legion, Zaeed, Ken and Gabby raced down the stairs, swiftly followed by Kaidan, Miranda, Jacob and Garrus. In seconds, the small area beside Jack's 'quarters' was filled with anxious bodies, all clustering around Shepard. This was more traffic than the area had seen in the entirety of the previous year, but none present looked around to find Jack, all focusing on their Commander.

"Shepard! What happened?" Miranda demanded.

"Just an accident…" Shepard winced as a cough brought a twinge of pain to his chest. His second-in-command placed a restraining hand on his shoulder.

"Stay still, Commander." She ordered in a tone that brooked no argument. She scanned him with her omnitool. "Three broken ribs, hairline fractures in all four limbs, cracked skull, fractures in two separate places in the lower jaw, significant internal bruising, but no bleeding…" She paused to look into his eyes. "Possible concussion, too. Grunt, Zaeed, I need you to carry him up to the elevator. Carefully. EDI, inform Doctor Chakwas that she has a new patient."

"At once, Miss Lawson." The AI answered.

"Good. The rest of you, back to your posts. I'll let Liara's techs know they've got a little more work on their hands."

The gathering broke up, the Krogan and the former Bounty Hunter carrying the groaning Commander out before the rest of the impromptu audience filed out. Miranda was the last to leave, stopping to look back into the sub-deck.

"I'm angry too, Jack. But Shepard had no choice in this matter. He didn't deserve that."

She paused, only to receive silence in return. She sighed.

"The worst thing is, this will probably completely fail to put him off. He's that damned stubborn."

Shaking her head, Miranda walked off. From the depths of the darkness of the sub-deck, two glistening eyes watched her carefully, before closing, rendering their owner invisible in the shadows. Moments later, there was a strangled noise, a sharp intake of breath fought against for being a sign of weakness, but nobody was there to hear the smothered sob.

~o~0~o~

Anyway, Hope you liked that. What do you think? In keeping with her character? Out of character? Would you like to see a scene like this in ME3?

Personally, I think there should be points where the romance faces a severe setback, and you have to work to rebuild the bridges.
