I haven't posted much lately, because I was busy with my studies, but I'm glad that the thread is still in tip top shape... and that the trolls still aren't able to come up with new arguments, oh well...
As I can see, I'm not the only one who is desperate for new info
I'm pretty satisfied with default FemShep (since I adore red-heads), but I'd welcome some Joker treats as well.
The thing I'd like to hear about the most (apart from his romance potential) is his background. We don't really know much, do we? In ME1, he was regarded almost as a part of the ship. In ME2, it was considerably better, but still no word about his family or any other personal input. I'd love to see it rectified since he's one of a few stable crew members who were with Shep from the beginning.
We do know that his mom worked as a contractor on Arcturus Station, and that's where he grew up. Supposedly his desire to fly was inspired by growing up on the station and seing the ships fly by all the time. We never hear about his dad, though, so most of us speculate that Joker's father wasn't in his life for some reason.
We also have some reason to believe that as of the events of ME2, Joker's mother is dead. If you stand behind him on the bridge, he quips something about, "If only Mom could see me now...then we'd have zombies on top of all our other problems. Oh wait, sorry Commander." Other than that, anything else is speculation.
I'd really like to know more about his early career, Academy and just after commissioning stuff. And if his mom is dead, I'd really like to know why...also I'd like to know about any other family relations. If we get a romance, it is much more likely these kinds of things will come to light.
@Phantom - Don't feel too bad, I've often wondered the same thing. I thought that dextro-DNA was so foreign to and incompatible with our systems that it was rare for people to
not be allergic. Perhaps the game didn't go as much into depth on that particular nuance as it should have? *Shrugs* Seems to me that it was at least an intelligent observation with some thought put into it as opposed to, "Dontcha know Joker's bones will break during sex? Hur hur." Ignorance can be a dangerous thing, I guess.
