Whoa looky here, I'm crawling in after finaly uploading Chapter 4 of Awakening and Ashira's got a new spur of the moment one-shot, I'll have to check it out once I've gotten some sleep,

Right now I need some rest, this chapter has been agonizingly brutal on me, because it's such important moments in Samara's life, a few words, Bondmate, Daughters, Ardat-Yakshi, and a Justicar.
here ya go, feedback good, bad, flaws anything, many thanks

Lack of activity in this thread makes me a sad lizard!

Anyway. I am impressed when I look at the fanfics in this thread, I do write a little bit myself but I could not dream of writing anything with Samara in it. I simply do not feel like I have the skills to pull it off. I think a part of it lies in my inability to write decent dialog, and I feel that in order for Samara to be executed proberly in a story, one has to get her way saying things right.

I just don't feel I could do the character justice.

Well then I shall give some activity to this thread and reveal some of my secrets in the latest chapter of Awakening,

The name for Samara's Bondmate Hestia, the greak goddess of home, reason I went with that, is in Greek Mytho Hestia had been sought by many suiters for marage but declined them all chosing to remain above many of the other godesses and gods activitys.

It felt rather fitting given Samara's handling in ME2 and the lack of it in ME3. Also wanted to have a subliminal sort of thing of sort of fate and some times events rehappen with different people, Hestia and Samara, and later Samara and Jake Shepard.

Serrice I felt it was rather fitting to have Hestia and Samara living ther given Samara's life long membership to the Serrice fittness center.
Another subliminal hint Hestia's well known reputation being what it was maybe had something to do with Samara's interest in other species and humans. She talked about that interest in ME2 as we know.

Ohh and that maybe Samara chose to be a Justicar because her daughters, Rila and Falere had been taken away by a Justicar, and their location was kept from her. So maybe she became a Justicar with a sliver of hope that she could find out what happened to Rila and Falere, and less to track down Morinth. The latter just became her most known reason.

Much of the info I gleaned from the Shadow Broker terminal in LotSB DLC. Then I built upon it and attempted to make it fit.

Hopefully I did a great job. Because Samara's my favorite character, I'd hate to ruin something I love so much. Samara:wub:<3

[Ashira Shepard]

So I was having this discussion with a friend as follows -

Me: You know pregnancy cravings? I keep pondering what kind of things Liara would ask Shep to fetch for her ._.

Friend: Oh god...

Me: "What...what is this? I don't even know what this is D:"
"But I want iiiit :<"
"Fine >.>"

Friend: It would be so weird.

Me: And then I find myself thinking of Ash-Shepard and Samara. The former panicking and the latter just cool about everything because this all old news to her.

- - - - - - -

Thoughts?

*pokes thread with random topics*

P.S: Gears I will get around to reading your chapter when I can, I'm sure you did fine

Ohh no oh no oh no, you didn't did you? You didn't.

Oh boy hmm, Trying to get Samara hooked on chocolate brownies, ice cream, chips, umm wait what the heck do Asari have for food? And Snakes? Because I'm not sure we ever found that out, umm mm, all I can do is think up what I eat for junk food, and I just don't see it working with Samara, it just don't jive.

Maybe my lack of ideas is due to this pregnancy thing, situation is completely uncharted territory, never gotten a chick knocked (that I know about at least) and I can't say as I've been around any chicks that were pregnant, sure I've been around some, but none of them were friends, and family ummm let's see umm yeah umm yeah I only have a brother, no kids there I mean sure he's engaged to a chick now but still, um doubtful kids will be happening there, and umm yeah I really can't say as I've been around that sort of thing.

[Ashira Shepard]

I haven't been around pregnant women a great deal either ._.

I just take my cues from other sources. Aaaaaand occasionally ask my mother. With some getting weirded right the hell out by Cracked.com and all it's wonderfully insane information.

Yes she is the face model of Samara, so if Samara would be in a ME movie she sould probably be first pick. However her cosplay was good....but the resemblance was.... =/ If it weren't for the outfit I just couldn't tell she was Samara.

I honestly don't see it o.O, but that's just me...



If her cosplay was as good as this however....



Then she would totally look like Samara =D
Maybe?

whoa! Jessica, that woman is goregous lol

yeah you know what, I'd say she wins. very good

[CroGamer002]

Is that young Samara?

[gearseffect]

Hey everyone I have a fun exercise I wanted to run by ya all.

In the ME2 LotSB DLC if you romanced Liara in ME1 and than cheated on her in ME2 she has comments for all of them

About Miranda,
"And now you'd rather pass time with Ms Lawson and her low cut jumpsuit"

About Jacob
"You're more interested in seeing Jacob with his shirt off!"
About Jack
"Now I've been tossed aside for a Tatooed woman with anger issues!"
About Garrus
"And now Garrus is doing a lot more than just calbrating the Normandy's guns."
About Thane
"Yes, you came back! And now your trying to take the place of a dieing mans wife!"
About Tali
"And Now your itching to get under Tali's Helmet"

Example Video of the Tali one


I know there is the whole near kiss scene with Samara, and she's not technical a romance option But I wanted to know if you could come up with one of those snide comments for Liara about Samara?

[CroGamer002]

^Don't think so.

Misread that thing.


Liara: And now you're more interested to see what our veterans have to offer!

[Quilate]

I've just finished that ! Hope you'll like it ^^

[Ashira Shepard]

Nice work Quilate!

Aaaaand I can't think of anything that Liara would say. But I know you seem to like painting Liara negatively anyway, Gears

[CroGamer002]

I edited my post on Gears's question.

[warlock22]

I posted this in the group topic Gears about what Liara would say about Samara, but i figured i'd post it here as well

Man that's a tough one Gears. I'm thinking maybe something like...

"Yes, you came back! And now you spend your time talking with the Justicar and her cold form of justice!"

Its not that great of one, but I'm going to try to think of some more

I did brace myself for a comment the first time I played through LOTSB.

"Shepard. I'm glad you're here."

"But you're worried there might be more terminals you need me to hack?"

"That's not fair! You were dead."

"I came back!"

"Yes you came back, and now Samara is teaching you more than just her code!"

Nice, I like that one alot

[gearseffect]

Oh boy I'm liking these ideas for the snide comment thing. I'm in the process of throwing my idea out here.

[Premier Bromanov]

I don't think Maggie Baird even has a twitter. I haven't seen any of the new ME2 squadmates' VAs mention returning to record lines for the EC. I have no faith in Bioware anymore, so for now I'm assuming the ME2 squadmates will be silent in the EC.

In the aftermath of the battle for the Ardat-Yakshi monastery, Commander Shepard, Samara, and her daughter Falere were doing their due diligence in making sure the monastery had been completely rid of Reaper minions. Samara had just finished checking her assigned area, and came to find her daughter and the Commander outside the front entrance embroiled in a conversation.

Shepard: Samara, did you find anything?

Samara: No, the area is clear. I trust it was the same for both of you?

Shepard: It was. I've just been getting acquainted with your daughter. She's roped me in the middle of a debate, actually. I wasn't expecting that.

Samara: Oh? Falere had never been much for debates.

Falere: A lot has changed mother, it has been over 4 centuries.

Samara: What is the matter?

Shepard: Well, considering your daughters condition, I asked her about love and romance, I couldn't help but ask, you know how I am.

Samara: That I do.

Falere: The Commander is being too cautious with his stance, we're discussing whether love can exist unreconciled.

Shepard: I think it can. Sometimes...the other person can't commit...for certain reasons. You should know this given your condition.

Falere: And I'm insulted by that precarious line of thinking.

Samara: Falere...

Shepard: It's ok. You know I don't mean it that way. It's just that sometimes one can be satisfied by giving what they can, and not feeling like it needs to be returned.

Falere: Love is mutual. Without having it returned the feeling is merely lust or infatuation. It takes two to have
love. I don't pretend to think otherwise just because my condition has rendered me unable to express it one way. I can express it in other ways, but again, only if another person ever feels the same way about me.

Shepard: And that's where we're stuck. Do you want to weigh in here?

Samara: I...haven't thought about these matters in....centuries. I'm afraid I can't offer any new insights into what I'm sure is a widespread debate among all species.

Falere: Mother, you always had so much to say regarding these matters. I can say I've formed many of my beliefs with your guidance...with your words.

Shepard: ...Your mother and I have actually had a similar conversation...

Samara: Shepard.

Shepard: I can't believe I just said that.

Falere: What? Really? Did you get stuck like us?

Shepard: Uh...I guess you can say that.

Samara: Falere, the Justicar Code does not detail romance of any kind. You know that.

Falere: I didn't know that, mother. Oh my, I had no idea that...wait, what exactly happened?

Shepard: It's complicated. We can leave it at that.

Samara: I thought I was very clear about where we stood.

Shepard: I know, and I accepted that.

Falere: Mother, you...do you two have a history?

Shepard: No no, I respect your mother's wishes...and this is getting uncomfortable for all of us..I'm sorry I brought it up.

Samara: I think whatever unresolved feelings you have should be dealt with.

Falere: Mother, are you denying what I know to be true? What you used to tell me?

Samara: Falere...I am bound by the Code now.

Falere: And you forsake all wordly possessions, I know that much. But your beliefs, they make you who you are. You are still my mother aren't you?

Samara: Why do you think I came here?

Falere: Then at least be true to yourself, any two bit mercenary could have-

Shepard: Hey, easy there, Falere.

Samara: *steps away from the conversation*

Falere: I'm sorry...Commander...I'm going to tell you what my mother used to tell me...before all of this happened *fights tears*

Shepard: Okay. Call me Shepard, by the way *touches Falere's arm*

Falere: I once asked my mother to tell me what love is. She said "We have created the word love to encapsulate the pain of wanting to be with someone. Real love is living among a great many people but only truly caring about one. You can explode out into space like a warrior on a mission, but still deeply yearn to want to curl back into the arms of your lover. A proverb once said that love makes time pass, and time makes love pass. Because there is love, and then everything else is its enemy. It is the only real thing that eludes all impossibilities, just like your dreams. The worst, most intense kind of love is not being comfortable with yourself when your lover is not around. Even then love is so strong that it is almost another person on its own. And that other person can tell you that solitude is okay, if that is what must be. For you will find that even then it can bring you more than happiness, in another time-"

Samara: "Another life".

The End.
