Do it, Kaidan.

It's interesting. Translated from Japanese Kaidan translates to "Ghost" or "Spirit". A "Kaidan" ( that would be pronounced Kai-dawn in Japan) is a Ghost Story.

Kaidan is not of Japanese descent is he?

Not sure about his heritage, but I found this the first time I Googled Kaidan.
Kaidan is also a Finnish word.

Edit: Whoops. Fixed link.

Ah that would make more sense then. I've come across the word in film land and it's always been Japanese.

As for Finnish Cinema I'm only aware of Aki Kaurismaki. And those beloved Leningrad Cowboys of his!

Thanks for the answer!

We don't really know anything about his origins.
Something about Singapore and his mother's accident.
Kaidan is not a Japanese firstname, but exactly what you said, a noun to describe Japanse ghost movies.

So he could be anything, really.

I like the idea that he comes from mixed origins, though.
"Alenko" is Ukrainian.

Random ramble time I feel I need to share~
Lately I find myself in an uneasy situation: I feel like I don't love ME as much as I did the past few weeks, spending less time doing ME things (not even finding Kaidan pics, which is a daily habit, and not even catching up on BSN threads, especially this thread, anymore). Maybe it's the more-than-six-months-after-ME3 blues, but there's this heavy feeling that I'm ready to move on to other things, yet I don't want to--like the horizon between the death of my feels for a fandom and clinging to something that I "used to" love for years...a nostalgia effect of sorts. Or maybe it's just IRL stuff bugging me...but I'm not liking this "burnt out" feeling at all :\\

I really, really hope this is just a phase

Kaidan


And I'm out...hopefully for just a while

Well, I just got over a "burnt out" phase myself, so that really might be all it is. I didn't feel like working on my fic, didn't feel like reading BSN, didn't want to play the game. I'd still drop by here every so often though, and something clicked and now I'm refreshing this thread all day, I'm doing at least some writing every day, and I should actually be finishing my current ME2 playthrough this weekend.

So hey, take a break and who knows, a month from now you might come across something that really gets you excited for ME again.

Hey laika!
If i speak for myself, Kaidaning has been and still is some sort of roller-coaster ride.
I guess each individual handles this differently.
I feel currently at peace with ME, mostly because of Leviathan, and as I said, I feel free to take Kaidan and ME back. I don't know where it will take me from there, all I know is that i can think of a thousand creative things i want to make come true, but i just don't have the time right now. What has changed is that I needed to get those things done before - to save my Shenko from some sort of dwelling and bitter state - whereas now, I just want to do it because it's fun and satisfying. I feel something has shifted, and for the best - and I'm currently happy with having seen the last of official Shenko stuff (unless there's an Omega easter egg that will retcon the endings for the best ).

Don't ever feel sad or guilty or whatever if your love for Kaidan/ME is not what it used to be, all things in life may have an end, just don't force these things in or out, i think Kaidan will stay with you naturally or won't, you'll see for yourself.
In any case, I wish your RL to be happy and content.

@MandaPanda81 and @Mimi

Awww thanks guys for the reassurance, I'm feeling better :'D Letting go of a fandom is just always uncomfortable to me and I'm clinging to whatever feels is left for ME because...BW changed my gaming lifestyle a lot--made me attached to gaming characters like never before, they just speak a lot of truths to me, and I'm really happy to have experienced that...and it's hard to let that go even when there's that inkling that I could. Thankfully, I'm not forcing myself to do ME things, but the lack of me doing ME things is disconcerting because I feel that I'm reaching the start of the end of my ME fangirl days. Hopefully a break would help, but yeah all good things come to an end (even Kaidan? NAH LOL)~ But we'll see

Omega DLC please help

@MandaPanda81 Yeah that burnt out phase I'm feeling is exactly as you described hehe
@Mimi "Don't ever feel sad or guilty or whatever if your love for Kaidan/ME is not what it used to be, all things in life may have an end, just don't force these things in or out, i think Kaidan will stay with you naturally or won't, you'll see for yourself.In any case, I wish your RL to be happy and content."

Thanks for this Mimi, it means a lot. Getting this weird ME feelings out is cathartic (no IRL ME friends in my end).

Seeing Kaidan's face helps a bit though :'D

@laika

Don't worry my dear. Things could always be worse. At least some of the damage was repaired and everyone is rebuilding from the ruins/ashes, whatever.

[MandaPanda81]

quick drink anyone?

Thanks a lot :happy: The end of my love for certain things just gets to me, can't articulate it exactly how though. Yeah, I know ME is "just" a video game, Kaidan is just pixels blah blah, but ME reflects certain things in life to me...perhaps a little too well, and I love it too much that I became affected by the sudden shift of my emotions to somewhere else, enough to disregard ME as a whole. But yeah, maybe I just need a break and the ME love will all come back to me hehe...or maybe it's just an off-day or whatever~
@MandaPanda81 Grabs drink...and Kaidan then runs

It's natural to move onto other games, and for your feelings to evolve and change, but I think you'll hold a spot for Kaidan (and others characters in ME) in your heart. I dread the day I move on still, I only check this tread on BSN now, and Steve's every few days.

I too hope Omega will be great and give us more time with Kaidan and crew.

As for Kaidan's ancestry, like Mimi, I think he does come from a mixed background. I think his mother was second or third generation Asian/Canadian and his dad's family game from the Ukraine.

Yes I agree, whatever happens, even if one day i won't be coming here anymore and/or I won't show any actual sign or activity of any kind of my love for him/ME/Kaidanites, i know this is true - cause Kaidan is special
