An "equal" in terms of what? Sounds kind of abstract. If we're talking about power or combat prowess, I'm totally okay with Shepard being eclipsed by his squadmates. He recruited remarkable individuals in ME2, and, in general, he gathers remarkable individuals to himself just by virtue of being the protagonist.

Power and combat prowess, of course I see her being far more than Shepard's equal. Though I'd like to think with some friendly sparring my Shep wouldn't be so easily defeated.  

I guess what I mean is that, unlike the majority of your squad in ME2, Samara is not an emotional drain on Shepard. Though I suppose this could depend on your Shepard...

Basically she's not really a subordinate in need of help, she's a fellow warrior asking for your aid.

I have a question for you guys

Why do you like Samara so much?



Also has anyone else noticed that the glow in Samara's eyes in ME3 are kinda gone? In ME2 her eyes had a nice glow quite often for some reason.

God dang it, I'm in the process of exploting Samara's eyes being less shiny in ME3 in my fanfic. I am attempting to create a reason and deep meaning for her less shinny eyes in ME3. It's truely remarkable the stuff we Samara fans seem to notice but never say for some reason or another (my reason is I'm exploting these things in my Fanfic. My god I'm such a total @ss for keeping them to myself)


Anyway the reason I like Samara so much?

I can go into depth about what makes the ME characters are my favorites and I can also go into depth on why I don't like some ME characters. Most of my favorite ME characters are my favorites for one of these reasons
1.I can relate to something about them
2.they are just simply compleing characters with lots of interesting depth to them
3.They have deep person conflicts tied to them, or have some sort of internal termiol to them.

For Samara the reasons I like her

In real life I get along best with people and many of my friends have these traits as well.
1. who are stong  indivdiuals,
2.Friends who are not just going to tell ya what ya want to hear. They will point out the sh!t ya may not like to hear about yourself, but we all have faults no ones perfect
3.People who are have their own morals and think for theirself,  They don't comprimise these morals for the sake of anyone else
4.People who are often over looked or missunderstood, the underdogs and out casts


I think lots of the above characteristics can be applied to Samara, also I seem to be more atracted to woman who are tough and capable, not just some housewife type.


Other things I like about Samara
1.her eyes I could get lost in those icy blue eyes forever,
2.She's a conflicted character, who on the surface apears in control, an interal stuggle of sorts Samara the Justicar and Samara the Person
3.Samara has been through a lot, and has had more than her fair share of personal issues/tragedies
4.She is a Warrior with few equels much like Shepard is
5.Her into in ME2 my god that was just as sweet as Thanes, only Samara had more of an angelic type intro, With her biotic engery flowing over her, and she's just so stunningly gorgeous, elegant, exotic, and deadly. If I had awoke from project Lazerus to see Samara I'd swear I'd have died and gone to heaven and she was an angel



All this makes makes me not just like her but love her, and is the reason she is my Shepards main LI.

Oh and if I needed any further convencing her voice my god, when she said "Shepard I will come for you" she had me, I was lusting after her like a mad dog chasing a female in heat.


There you have it, my long reasons I like Samara, and most are there, I left a few things out for varius reasons, and I'm not sure if any of them makes much sense to anyone, I may rewrite it later and post it, as I'm rather a prefectionist about somethings, such as projects I take on, and I had been plaing on taking on a Project called "My Favorite ME characters and way I like them" so chances are this will serve as a rough draft for my Samara entry in that.

Y'all realize that even Liara is older than your parents, right? Why would this be such a big deal?

Because while Liara is technically older than Hannah, she is still young by Asari standards and still have a sense of youth in her. The samme cannot be said of Samara.

True, but if we're going by relative age, then I don't think Samra would be much older than Shep's parent's relatively.

She's almost a martiarch, which basically puts her in the second third of her life, so she's somewhere between her (relative) 40's and 50's.

Shep is mid-30's, so his/her parents are probably AT LEAST 50.

Exactly.

Which is why I would feel the Samara/Hannah meeting would be the most awkward of all of them.

Maybe the most awkward of the bunch, but I wouldn't think it to be THAT bad.

[Ashira Shepard]

We'll see how awkward and ultimately heart warming it might be when I write about it

EDIT:

Chasing Ghosts:

Even with the Reapers gone, the memory of them isn't. Shepard knows better than anyone to expect the worst, but now that the worst has passed, can she let go of the horrors of the War?

After reading the PAX LI book, I feel sad and happy. I'm happy that so many dedicated fans wrote letters in regards to their favorite LI. Yet I feel sad because of the content that was in there for Samara.

I wish that there was more dedicated fans who were regulars here in Samara's thread, it would help get the ball rolling if this thread had as many good posts and followers as other LI's.

I really wish I would have wrote a much longer letter and one that was more I don't know detailed, but when ya don't many people talking about how dissapointed they were with her In ME3 like Jack, Miranda, Tali, Ashley, Thane, and so on it's well a bit hard to gather consensus on what was missing. This thread has so few regulars.

Maybe too many of them had their hearts broken in ME3 and just threw their hands up and accepted defeat I don't know.

I'm sad and I've been awake for 34 hours maybe I need to get some sleep off to bed now

It was always like this.  The ME2 thread had few regulars because Samara didn't have a proper romance in that game.  This thread has few regulars because she has so little material in ME3. 

I did expect that Samara would have a few more letters in the book, because there were far more letters for Jack then there are regulars in the Jack thread.

I just unlocked the Justicar in multiplayer. She looks older than the Asari Adept. She looks like she's seen quite a bit in her time as a Justicar. I think this is a great touch. I love it.

[Ashira Shepard]

I hope to do the same then once it's later in the night. My internet seems to hold up better when no one else is awake

[Ashira Shepard]

So I was talking to Makaveli (you remember him, right?) and he's finished the game now. Has pretty much the same opinion as everyone else but that was not the point of our conversation.

Due to him having trouble registering his game regards BSN and Origin, he sent me this on facebook. It's supposed to be the conversation you have with Samara on earth:

Samara: Shepard, I was unsure I would ever see you again.

Shepard: Samara, how's the fight on your end?

Samara: It is something I'm not used to. Because of my Code, I'm having to adopt a more protective role, rather than partake in much offense. For the sake of protecting the lives of innocents around me, I am mostly providing barriers to safegaurd troops from heavy fire, and any ammunition I have is dispersed to the squadron as necessary.

Shepard: Samara, the Protector. I couldn't think of anyone better to ensure the safety of the men and women sacrificing their lives.

Samara: And I couldn't think of anyone better to lead us honorably to victory. Everyone believes in you, Shepard. That is a tall order for anyone to uphold.

Shepard: I'm only doing what's necessery, like you. When it comes down to it, you and I would both sacrifice our lives so the person next to us can be left standing, and the enemies in front of us join us in oblivion.

Samara: Well spoken. But, Shepard, I fear you will ultimately have to make a choice that my Code, or any other moral order will fail to comprehend. In the face of billions of lives, the fate of the galaxy, you will learn the true meaning of sacrifice, not just from an individual perspective.

Shepard: I'm not exactly following, but go on.

Samara: Life and death rest upon a scale that can be measured, but we cannot possibly manage to balance the scales of time and hope. Whatever the fate of the galaxy is supposed to be, it is your actions that will be remembered, not how many lives were saved or sacrificed as a result.

Shepard: That's a harsh truth, but I'm beginning to understand what you mean.

Samara: Remember, there is no Code for destiny. Goddess be with you.

[Premier Bromanov]

Is he syncing his Origin account data with this BSN account data?

Also, "In Arabic and Hebrew, the anglicized name samara translates as 'guardian', making it an appropriate name for a justicar." I'm sure it was intentional on Bioware's part. What an interesting thing, in-universe, that a name, translated cross-species and cross-language, would be befitting for her. I'd love to point these things out to Samara.

I tried playing rounds on bronze, silver and gold with my Justicar. The class definitely suffers from being unable to quickly strip off armor, barriers and shields. And, the more enemies with more defense are being thrown at you at higher difficulties, the more of a liability it becomes, even with the bubble kept up 100% of the time. It's kind of a shame.

What where did this come from? The leaked script I don't remember seeing this in there at all.

Reading that whole book has made me so depressed, because all the characters that can be romanced in ME1 and ME2 have such great letters and the fans went and did a sh!!t ton of letters with great content.

Compairing the contant of any of the other characters letters to the Samara letters
It makes the Samara letters seem lacking in fan input and emotional attachment to Samara. They just feel so I don't know dissorginized and hap-hazardly done. Like we we're all unintelagent, non creative, and completly lack any sort of imagination.

Which I know is not true of us Samara fans I mean just fallow any of Ashira's links in her Sig and you'll see she's very smart and creative,
Then ya have my Fanfics I've been doing and the responses and PM's I've got from people over on Fanfic.net have been so great and full of input and compliments, which is something I'm so not used to.

At the end of the day when I read that book and think of all the letters I get sad and scared because I just don't think that there was enough fan input and criticsisom from the Samara fans to warrant Bioware even to think of doing anysort of DLC with Samara.

Hell If I was a big chease at Bioware and read the book I'd saying "OK everyone this is what we're going to do. That book showed us a good idea of how to make money and gain some fan faith again. We need to tackle some LI DLC for these characters, Miranda, Jack, Ashley,  Garrus, Tali, and Liara"

"That's where the money is at and those are the characters we got lots of wiggle room for in the game. We can also tackle Vega. Jacob Taylor and Thane are a bit more complex, and we may not do anything with them. Because ME is our art and we do our art the way want. Fans we're unhappy with how we handled Thane and Jacob but that's Art. We can give the Thane fans a few extra dialogue lines in one of the other LI DLC, maybe put it in the VS DLC"

I can't help but feel that us Samara fans and Samara are just going to be completly wrote off and tossed aside. It really feels like I've been stabbed in the gut and my heart is ripped out by Bioware and they are laughing at me.

It all makes me want to find some fellow Samara fans and start our own project to plead our case, but there are so few Hardcore Samara fans on the BSN heck the regualar's here are all Ashira, Bromanov, and myself that about all the main regulars, then we have the drifters who pop in and out that, I can only name one of them right off the top of my head and that's LizardVikiking.


Oh yeah and aparently my letter that got put into the book was my original ruff draft letter I sent a revised and refined version out, maybe the fat just got cut out of it I don't know but here is my refined and revised finale draft that did not make it into the book



So here is an outline of things about the Samara romance that I'd have
liked to see in ME3, and Samara in general. For me the near kiss scene
in ME2 was the biggest cliff hanger. I hoped to have it resolved in ME3
it wasn't. It was the giant pink elephant in the room and no one
addresses it.

1.Samara as Squad Mate in ME3. It's not like she
was busy chasing her dad trying to kill him the whole game of ME3.
Joining Shepard to stop the Reapers seems like an impossible cause
(which Justicar's are drawn to) Is there really any bigger injustice
than the Reapers?

2.One different line of dialogue between a Shep
who attempted to romance Samara is pure BS. That line could have been
applied to a Shepard who didn't attempt a Romance with Samara.Every
other ME2 LI gets a sh!t ton of unique dialogue (Except maybe Jacob and
Thane) More unique dialogue with some sort of resolution to Samara and
Shep's feelings for each other.

3.Shepard steeling a kiss from
Samara someplace would be nice. Other LI's get interrupts for stealing a
kiss, give one to Samara.

4.When preventing Samara from killing
herself at the Monastery, make that scene longer for LI Samara/Shep,
build upon that scene. We know that she attempted suicide because she
couldn't bare to loose her last child. There is a person in there
someplace and that person could use more happiness. Because she clearly
lost it and went over the edge.

5.At the end of ME3 when it
flashes the 3 peoples faces, It would have been nice if a Shep who never
hooked up with anyone else and kept trying to get with Samara got to
see Samara's face flash.

Also the Code don't forbid romantic relationships Samara tells us that in ME2 many times.

Hell as ya can see even that letter looks rather disorginized, I just don't do many letters to people as a fan like that. And the hardest part for me was figureing out how to do the opening of that letter.


Anyway I'm spent sorrry if I've upset ya all with my airing of my fanboy concerns and nutcase rant or what ever this is

[Premier Bromanov]

I can sympathize, gearseffect. I'm sure there are more Samaratans out there, they just didn't write letters, for whatever reason. Maybe it's as I've been saying - any character that can't be romanced has a smaller fanbase. Maybe people were intimdated by the task of determining how they'd like to see Samara's ME3 treatment expanded. Maybe they didn't know how. Maybe Bioware has such difficulties, too, because Samara is a very complex character.

I could really use some help with this Samara Romance Epilogue I'm writing for this story arc: http://collegeage.wo.../soldier-class/

http://collegeage.wo...mance-epilogue/ 

[Ashira Shepard]

I think the main problem with mine was because originally I wrote in my script change, but Visii noted that the fans shouldn't have to do all the work and asked me how I felt about it instead.

I'm not good at these kinds of things. I can write emotion in stories but...*sigh* basically my letter is fragmented reactions as I responded to Visii's clarification of what I was supposed to write.

Had I seen what other people were writing, I would've done something much longer and detailed, even if it made me feel horribly awkward doing it.

*hugs everyone* :<

On a somewhat unrelated note, I have no idea what to call the next one-shot, concerning Shepard's mother meeting Samara.

Suggestions?

I had some idea to include the word "Shepard" somehow but all I thought of was "Sheparding ______".

Not exactly a title.

Shepard and Samara meet on the Citadel

Samara: Shepard, I'm glad you came to see me. I won't be staying here much longer.

Shepard: Where do you think you'll be joining the fight?

Samara: The homeworld is where I'm most needed, it is also where I will be most useful. I haven't been to Thessia in a long time, and I hadn't ever pictured returning under these circumstances.

Shepard: But you've pictured returning there. Have you considered...not being a Justicar?

Samara: *turns to Shepard* My oath to the Order was absolute, Shepard. I knew there was no going back to the way things were, not after what happened with Morinth.

Shepard: What happened to you on Thessia after Morinth was found to be an Ardat-Yakshi?

Samara: *looks down* My life, everything I knew....came crumbling to the ground.

Shepard: I'm sorry, these must be difficult memories for you.

Samara: ...It's alright. You've more than earned my trust. Morinth had already amassed a large body count before her condition was exposed to us. I was...horrified to learn of it, and so were Falere and Rila, who both looked up to Morinth.

Shepard: How did your partner handle it?

Samara: Haseena was gravely ill during these times. She was much older than I, and had a case of a rare neurodegenerative disease that rendered her with severe cognitive and motor deficits. She died before my Justicar training was complete.

Shepard: I can't imagine how you dealt with all of this alone.

Samara: Thankfully my other daughters understood the choice I had to make. I...never got to say a proper goodbye. They were taken away by authorities soon after Morinth's investigation began. I had to communicate with them through the extranet. And once I took my first Oath, I had to cut off all ties.

Shepard: Do you ever think about life...before all of this happened to you? What it was like.

Samara: There's no use in that, Shepard....

Shepard: *paragon interrupt; Shepard grazes Samara's shoulder in support*

Samara: I was enjoying motherhood, striving to raise responsible children. Every morning we would hold lively philosophical debates, or go out and practice altriusm in any way we could. Haseena was a wise and vibrant soul, before the onset of her condition. I was....happy *smiles*

Shepard: That sounds lovely.

Samara: The answer to your question; yes, I think about it every single day. But I never thought I would speak of it again.

-------If Shepard had tried to romance Samara in ME2--------

Shepard: When this is all over, and you have a chance for a new beginning, would you take it?

Samara: I'm afraid my mind has no room for this type of contemplation. In my meditations I focus strictly on the present moment.

Shepard: You once told me that you believed you could have had more than happiness with me. Is there any room left for that kind of contemplation?

Samara: I've not forgotten, I stand by that belief. But Shepard...

Shepard: I know... I think that's enough for me.

Samara: *flares biotics* You are a noble soul. *holds Shepard's hands* I wish you well in your journey ahead, please take care of yourself, and remember those who hold you dear.

Shepard: Same to you, Samara.

I already told him I liked it, but I wouldn't have gone the same route he did with Samara's bondmate.

^ ah good example of her voice on text. Maybe this will help. I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

If you don't already, it helps trying to imagine her voice actually saying the line.

I already told him I liked it, but I wouldn't have gone the same route he did with Samara's bondmate.

Haseena meaning a beautiful woman? Just wondering if that was the origin of 7Makaveli chosening the name for Samara's bondmate?
As of now her bondmate is unnamed in ME right?

Because I've been doing some digging around for a name with a cool meaning for Samara's bond mate, I can't help but notice that he took the route I'm takening with Samara's bondmate being much older than Samara was. I was planing on maybe finding a Hebrew word for wise elder for Samara's bondmate (no luck yet).

I've been in the process of writing about Samara's bondmate for sometime now In fact It was one of the first things I started to work on and refine before my first chapter of awakening was even started. I've been adding to it as I continue to write both my fanfics.

Oh and Ashira on your Fanfic oneshot for when Samara meets Hannah Shepard, I don't know how Ashira gets along with her mom (maybe have to find one of your earlyer fanfics for that?), but depending on Ashira's relationship with her mom and how Hannah acts about her daughter and all that stuff, I'd be able to have an idea for a title.
I know it's all differnt for everyone but if I were doing a fanfic like this my title would be "Can you cook as good as I can?" only because it's what my Mom always seems to say to any of my friends that are just chicks. So I can only imagine that Hannah Shepard would have to say that stupid line too (I totally inject my moms personality into Hannah)

[Ashira Shepard]

This'll be the first time I've actually written Ash interacting with her mother. But my headcanon paints them with a very good relationship.

With Ash, Hannah is very proud of her daughter but quietly protective, she regrets that so much pressure was put upon her child for three hard years and that they never really got the chance to interact much other than other the extranet during that time. After all that's happened to Ash, I picture her being apprehensive of a new partner, especially since Ash never even took interest in another person since Nicole's death. Which was nine years ago.

Hannah would be happy, but very concerned about Ash getting hurt again and thus protective of her. She wouldn't intentionally do anything to ruin things though, before you think it.

Like you, I'm kind of basing some of her on my own mother. From what you say, she seems like the opposite of yours.

Anyway. I will think of something eventually. ._.

Modifié par AshiraShepard, 11 avril 2012 - 09:21 .

[gearseffect]

A fair way to put things for my Hannah Shepard would be that when Shep runs across his mom in person it's by coincidence rather than design.

Here is an idea how many Asari/Asari partnerships/bondmates have inlaws? In the case of Samara maybe for Samara this is a new experience? Not to mention Samara has a daughter of her own, and she had had three daughters, all of whom were all older than Hannah Shepard. That's gotta be a little bit odd.
.Samara's been around since before Hannah Shepards grandparents were alive. Holy crap man that is gotta beyond awkward. "Hey mom this is Samara" and it comes out that Samara's been kicking @ss all over the galaxy since before WWII. Yeah that is gotta be awkward Maybe call it "am odd family satiation" or something along those lines?.

Here is an insider motivational I made, I think it goes back to page 57 of this thread.

I do but I don't know, I can't seem to lock down her cadance and rythm. I'd say that the dialogue is about 70% there but I've read other's work that's better.
