Edit: just realized i forgot to edit Bailey out of the pictures of Shepard lol
It actually took me like 10 minutes to realise that guy on the left was your Shepard, I was looking at it thinking "who the hell is this guy and whats he got to do with Jack?".

Grunt: (holding plastic dinosaur) Yes, this is a fertile land and we shall thrive. We shall rule over all this land and we shall call it...this land.
Jack: (levitating another plastic dinosaur) I think we should call it your grave!
Grunt: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Jack: (biotically flings dinosaur) Now die!
Shepard: (walks in) What's going on?
Grunt: Battlemaster! Jack and I were...discussing tactics for our next fight against the Collectors!
Shepard: With plastic dinosaurs?
Jack: Why the **** not?
Shepard: Okay, I should go.
Jack: Yep.

I'll resurrect this topic because it's still applicable. Epantiras thought about this when ME2 was still new. Is Jack similar to Fenris? Do they both have that "brooding badass" character type? Do you think more people like Fenris than like Jack? If so, do you think it's more acceptable for a male to be a "brooding badass" than it is for a female to be a "brooding badass"? If you think so, why do you think this is?

Nope.

I don't really see a relationship between these two working, for more than just the obvious reasons. BFFs, absolutely.

This may sound a bit sexist, but I reckon it's that women like the idea of a 'project'. How many times do you hear about a woman who says she can 'change' a guy when its pointed out to her that he's a total ****?
On the other hand, men are generally lazy, and don't really want to have to put in the effort that kind of woman needs. Unless he's totally whipped, in which case that kind of woman wouldn't be interested in him.
As always, this isn't a blanket statement, just a generalisation.
EDIT: Hmm. interesting. The site edits out ****, but not arse and hole? Somebody in the coding department dropped the ball.

Ah, fair enough.
But the **** censoring includes the word arse. Not the american word that actually means donkey.

The dog mechs from the early levels of ME2.
... actually, i believe Fenris was some kind of mopey companion in Dragon Age 2. Known mainly for tragedy, some body markings and solid scoopfulls of angst, if general internet talk about him is to be believed. (not played the DA games myself).

The Barrier dropped, and immediately Shepard felt the full force of the Singularity. The gravitational forces Jack’s Barrier had kept at bay pulled at him, almost yanking him off his feet. He spun, taking a step that was all too ponderous as he fought against the sudden pull. By his side he saw the much lighter and more agile Kasumi sprint away, ducking low to avoid incoming gunfire. Delexia was next, her large but lightweight Turian frame not weighing her down too much as her powerful legs pumped under her. Slightly behind the ex-pirate was Etarn, unencumbered by armour such as what weighed down the Commander. Concerned, Shepard glanced over his shoulder to see the exhausted Jack labouring away, her biotic display having robbed her of her strength.
The convict slipped, her feet moving out from under her. Moving with lightning-quick reflexes, Shepard darted in to catch her and prop her up with his shoulder, suppressing a grimace as the Singularity continued to pull at him, Jack’s added weight on his shoulder making his escape even more arduous.
Shepard’s kinetic barrier shimmered around him, taking the brunt of a Warp blast meant for him. As he glanced up, he saw a few more biotic attacks arcing in, all of them swerving wide as they were pulled into the Singularity. He ducked his head as one blue-white bolt roared past his ear, missing by mere inches, then he finally found refuge behind a row of tanks, letting Jack slide to the floor before crouching protectively by her side to occasionally lean out of cover and fire wildly at their attackers. As he slipped back into hiding, he shared a reassuring smile with Jack, the latter still breathless as she tried regain her strength.
"Gotta say," She panted. "This has been a lot more interesting than any other date I’ve been on."
"Is that what this is?" Shepard chuckled, curving a Concussive Shot out from behind his hiding place to send a handful of Batarian Thralls tumbling to their hands and knees.
"Nearest thing that passes for it on this crew." She smirked. "It’s either this or wading through a river of Krogan **** trying to sort out somebody else’s problems, and if I’m honest, I like my missions the same way I like to finish a night out on Omega: ****less."
"That sounds like fun." Shepard grunted as a white-hot clip jumped from his rifle to make way for a new one.
"Yeah well." Her smile broadened as her stance became more steady. "I guess you’ll just have to get us out of here and maybe I’ll show you."
The bank of cylinders in front of them jolted from multiple impacts, swaying back and forth precariously. Jack slid a couple of inches away from it, turning around as she found the edge opposite the Commander, then leaned around it to call upon her biotics again, summoning a Shockwave that tore through the enemy ranks mercilessly. She crowed loudly as her attack struck every one of her intended targets.
"Eat this!"
Shepard grinned as she let loose, turning his own attention to the Batarians cast up into the air by her display, putting a bullet through the skull of each of the helplessly flailing aliens before gravity reasserted its normal rules and hauled them back down. Still smirking, he turned to the tattooed biotic again.
"Not bad. Reckon you set up about six or seven of ‘em for me there."
"Pfft. I think you took one too many hits to the head back before I put that Barrier up." She said dismissively, pausing to blast at an approaching creature with her shotgun. "That was at least eight."
"Oh yeah?"
"Easily. I’d have to be having a pretty bad day to get any less when they’re lining up like these bastards. I reckon I could toss up ten if I really tried."
"Then prove it."
"Maybe I will, soldie-" She turned to face him, her face suddenly locking in an expression of surprise as she caught sight of something over the Commander’s shoulder.
Shepard turned, freezing in place as Gorm loomed over him. Time seemed to slow as the monstrous Batarian lunged at him, talon-like fingers extended, a biotic glow encasing his hands. Several thoughts flashed through the Commander’s mind in that brief half-moment: frustration with himself over neglecting to keep track of the enemy leader and allowing him to sneak around the squad’s flank like this, numerous ways he could try to protect himself against the attack, all of which he dismissed just as quickly after concluding they would have no effect, and finally a pang of worry for Jack.
Spurred into action, Shepard snapped out of his paralysis, weapon spinning to point at Gorm’s belly. The Batarian saw the threat, clawed hand swiping at the weapon to cast it aside with ease. The other hand drew back, biotic fire intensifying around the fingers as Gorm readied a devastating blow.
With a roar of displaced air, a bolt of blue fire rushed past Shepard’s ear to strike the Batarian, staggering him as the Commander slipped back and to the side, out of the range of Gorm’s fierce claws. Both the Commander and his opponent turned to see Jack standing there, wreathed in furious white flames as she readied another attack. Gorm sized her up in one glance, lip curling in a sneer.
"Hands off, freak." She spat.
"Human biotics?" The Batarian chuckled. "How quaint."
He pulled his arm back again, this time directing the fury of his attack against Jack. The convict responded with a gesture of her own, countering the incoming Warp with another one. The two attacks collided in mid-air, detonating with a powerful explosion that threw Shepard back and staggered the surprised Gorm. He gazed at the young woman with renewed interest.
"There’s power there." He commented curiously. "Fascinating. We’ll be able to put that to good use."
"Just you try it." Jack taunted, launching another Warp that knocked the Batarian back a pace or two.
The Human pressed forward, pummelling Gorm with a flurry of devastating mental blows that knocked him backwards, forcing him back towards his own troops, who also fell back to make room for their superior and his tiny, tattooed aggressor. None appeared ready to interfere with the biotic duel taking place, but Shepard retrieved his rifle nevertheless to watch Jack’s back. In moments, Jack and Gorm found themselves in the middle of a large clearing amongst the cylinders, the raging battle around them slackening off as more eyes turned to the duel. Gorm backed through the cascade of water still pouring from the ruptured pipes, not even slowing his pace as he allowed more and more space between himself and his opponent.
Gorm continued moving back, but the manoeuvre had long since lost its feeling of genuineness, now feeling more like a baiting tactic to draw the convict out and away from her allies. Even Jack realised this, slowing her progress forward in exchange for pouring more power into her attacks.
Then, just as Jack appeared to be really finding her pace in launching attacks, countering Gorm’s own abilities and positioning herself for the next round, the Batarian hurled a devastatingly powerful Warp blast, Jack barely managing to bat it aside. Gorm then went on the offensive, beating away at the convict’s defences with ruthless vigour. Jack staggered back from one powerful attack, showing a weakness the alien could exploit, and Gorm quickly pressed his advantage by summoning yet another biotic assault, his clenched fists glowing like two stars as he performed the motions that signalled an incoming Singularity.
Just as the alien raised his arms to launch his assault, Jack retaliated by raising her own arms. The ensuing blast of biotic energy halted Gorm’s attack halfway from its intended target, Jack pushing frantically against it as the Batarian tried to push it towards her in a move to fully strip her defences. The Singularity hovered uncertainly between them, shifting one way then the other as its energies fluctuated wildly. Gorm’s mouth turned downwards in a snarl as he poured more and more energy into manipulating the Singularity. As it bobbed through the air, the dark orb of biotic energy flared, its mass drawing in the torrent of water falling from the ceiling, the water column circling the Singularity lazily to form a transparent accretion disc several metres across. Had the situation not been so dangerous, Shepard might have felt the need to take note of the beauty of the spectacle, the waterfall suddenly defying gravity halfway through its descent to spiral into the miniature black hole. Instead, he only felt anxiety for the tattooed convict in his gut as he watched her contend with the Batarian creature’s reinforced power. He twitched anxiously as Gorm began speaking once more.
"Your struggles are futile, little biotic." He growled, his voice carrying surprisingly far. "I no longer have the same energy needs as I used to. You will tire out long before I shall, and then your mind will belong to me."
"Who ever said anything about outlasting you?" Jack asked through clenched teeth.
This made Gorm’s brows raise in a mixture of confusion and surprise, allowing the Singularity to slip a few feet closer to him. A quiet, sharp laugh escaped from Jack’s throat.
"That’s the thing about you squints." She sneered. "You always think you know what’s going on." She shifted a little, the Singularity wobbling with her movements. "Y’see, the Singularity is useful in a fight. You can herd enemies with it, chasing them as they run to avoid getting swallowed by it, but there’s one question nobody ever seems to ask."
"Oh?" Gorm asked, his concern fading as he reached the conclusion that the Human was just trying to cloud his mind, trying to give herself a chance to hurl the gravitational attack at him. Those concerns rapidly returned, however, at the next sentence the young Human spoke, her lips curled in a vicious smile.
"Ever wonder what happens when you turn one of the ****ers inside out?"
