Futuristic is my fav , Experimental second and I don't really like Old-school

With helmet. I think it gives Shepard a more anonymus identity, for more players to identify with.

Okay futuristic it is then! Comments and suggestions noted.
@Ieldra2
I remember you wanted a signature size of the other minimalist poster. Let me get that done for you and the others! I'll probably post it at the end of today.
"So, why don't we all have that link if creating empathy is what the nanites do?”
"Because that isn't what they do. The link is merely an unusually showy expression of the nanites true function. They allow any organism to self-evolve, rather than depending on a lucky genetic mutation that allows them to adapt. A vorcha will develop increased musculature to survive on a high-gravity world or thicker skin after being burned. Well, we are all vorcha now. Only our ability to adapt apparently includes altering our mental functions as well."
Miranda inhaled sharply. If Wiks’ incredible claim was true, it was the greatest, most terrifying discovery in human history. "But we’re smarter than the vorcha. There's no reason we can't put ourselves in situations to create desirable changes. We can make ourselves smarter, stronger, and faster. Not merely self-evolution, but self-directed evolution."
Wiks shifted uncomfortably. "Precisely. When we fired the Crucible, we completely upended the natural order. Salarians adore meddling with evolution. Uplifting the krogan. Attempting to do it with the yahg and the varren. It is never ended well for us. And now all intelligent life has the capacity to strike out on its own rather than following evolution’s plan for us."
"Evolution doesn't have a plan. The only thing it selects for is the ability to pass genes from one generation to the next."
"No. There's too much beauty and grandeur in the natural world for it to be entirely an accident. And now we can subvert that our whim. I would think you of all people would understand the dangers. I told you that you were famous in STG circles. Not because of your world with Cerberus. We took an interest in you from the moment of your conception. What did Henry Lawson do but attempt to control evolution? He wanted a child who was beautiful, intelligent, and possessed any other natural gift he could think of. And discarded them when they couldn't measure up. I have some idea of the abuse you went through in becoming his 'perfect' heir. Now there's nothing to prevent any sufficiently determined parent from replicating his actions. In your case, evolution reasserted itself. I’d call it karma if the results weren’t so tragic for you personally. I fear what will happen if the nanites are more viable."
Miranda listened to him with mounting fury. Henry hadn’t kept his creation secret, and he had been wealthy and powerful. It had been a perfect combination for priests, rabbis, and imams looking to reverse their increasing irrelevance after the discovery of the Prothean ruins. Sermon after sermon had decried her creation as meddling with the natural order. Some viewed her as a sympathetic, tragic figure: a sort of latter-day Frankenstein's Monster, a monument to the ego of one man. But no matter how cruel or honey their words, Miranda had understood. She was an abomination, the thing that was not supposed to exist. Henry had turned that to his advantage as he turned everything else by convincing her that it was only with him that she would ever find a place in the world. So the religions busybodies had only succeeded in forging another chain tying her to Henry. She hated them for that almost more than she hated them for being Luddites. And Wiks—a geneticist—was cut from the same cloth!

Chapter 7 of Miranda: The Space That Separates is complete!
It's kind of exposition mixed with a bit of action but hopefully it is enjoyable enough...

Flemm, I was wondering about the fanbook group. At first I thought about adding my retake Omega DLC idea in my letter, but then I saw what you told Yesika about her making her reform Cerberus into an essay and now I'm wondering if I should do the same.
I would write first about a stand alone Miranda DLC and then I'd mention that Miranda going against Cerberus on Omega makes sense too.
