And that leads me to a femshep question. Not sure if this has been asked, but o any of you give your Shepard’s flaws?

Those of a typical overachiver.  Renée is so used to being successful, she's shocked by failing.  She's the sort who puts off so much for modeling how an officer ought to be, she barely had a life outside of the military.  Her schedule was largely up at 4, and working to 8 most evenings.  She even worked more than a few Saturdays.

Edit:  ToP FemShep

There's definately some shadow play happening under her eyes, but Kyrie makes exhaustion look good.

In ME1 Asche seemed to get a little tired by the end. ME2 Asche, hopped up on Cerberus/Reaper tech, never stopped. The events in ME3 wore her down.

Finally finished my Insanity playthrough (by giving up after Marauder Shields gunne dme down for like the 27th time), and started another in my "Buy All The Things" ME3 playthrough cycle, and pulled the face code for Hannah:

Since I'm strictly a console player, if anybody could make a screenshot of her in the hoodie, I'd be very grateful.

On the topic of the fanfic contest, what do people here think about opening it up to both female and male Shepard? Thanks!

Sure. Separate categories if opinions are strong.

I'm drunk-ish at a bar with my friends right now, and I just wanted to say how much I love this thread. I don't know what exactly it was, but Mass Effect/femshep/this community have really clicked for me in an awesome way!

[LadyAly]

aww @merylisk - just have fun - ^^

@sagequeen Yes I agree - Kyrie wears the tiredness with a cute grace, though.
Reyna was very worn out at the end - Carry as a 50/50, too.
Sometimes I think the Renegade path are the mentally stronger ones - atleast my deleted Krissy wasn't so ... beated and jaded. Maybe it is a personal head thingie...

Hi guys! I'm a lurker for the longest time, and I'm coming out of my comfortable hiding place (haha wut?) to ask: what are your headcanon-ed Sheps' talents and what are the talents they spectacularly fail at (other than dancing lol)? And if they weren't the badass military soldier they are now, what career options would they have taken?

As an example, my canon paragon Shep could sing and draw well, and if she weren't in the military she would probably be a doctor (serving others and all). My renegade could sing and play an instrument well, and if she weren't in the military she would probably be this CEO who lords over everyone and you wouldn't want to mess with. The singing I probably owe to the incredible Jennifer Hale (she voiced this cartoon with a band once). As an aside, my paragrade Sheploo wouldn't have the conventional talent per se, but have this overwhelming amount of charisma that people are ready to fawn over him from just a few choice words, and he would probably be a supermodel (ala Vanderloo haha) maybe even after the war. As for where they fail, I haven't headcanon that far yet :'D

[Nicodemus]

Had to wait a while for Bioware to give me the opportunity to play Cassandra as her face code wouldn't import. Was afraid that she was going to be a stranger when I finally got a chance to import her and was pleasantly surprised that she was much the same. ME1 and 2 versions had her with a buzz cut or a mohawk but felt that since she wasn't on active duty anymore a bit of hair growth was allowed. Have to admit I was pretty happy with the result.

What a great question!

If Mindoir had never been raided, Anja probably would have followed in her parents' footsteps and become a scientist.

If Naomi had never joined the Alliance, she would totally just have stayed on Earth and become a crime lord. Like Aria.

And my maleshep, Sean, pretty much never saw another option since he has the Spacer background. He probably would have been a doctor, though.

No, this totally makes sense to me. It's the Paragons who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and feel responsible for each and every civilian lost.... the Renegades are more willing to accept losses and sacrifices for the greater good, so things tend to roll of them like Teflon a bit more, I think.

Aww yaaaaay. I have also met some great people through the femshep community, some of whom have become great real life friends.

Questions, questions.

Do you give your femshep's flaws? Sure! They're human.
Caroline - emotionally hardened, often distant, thus has some commitment issues.
Teagan - let's her emotions get the better of her sometimes
Drea - is perfect. j/k. She's well adjusted. Depending on your perspective, she might have bad taste in men :S

Haven't really considered if they have any particular talents tbh.  I can't see Drea doing anything else, with the spacer background and adept class.  Where else would she go?  Gotta think about that one.
I do think she'd make a great teacher.

I saw EC talk come up. I really don't care either way for it, if it's good, great, if not - well, nothing really changes then. Head canon, it's the way to go.

@ laikabaws - I think that my Shep if she hadn't joined the army she would be some kind of scientist.
Probably astrophysics.

Jennifer Redux completed her ME1 playthrough, with a few significant changes to her first time (saved Zhu's Hope colonist & let Sharila live, let the Rachni Queen live, saved Kaidan on Vimire) so she ended up with a higher Paragon score but otherwise still max'ed out her Renegade bar, sacrificed the Council, supported Anderson as the Human Councillor and fell in love with Liara.

Here's her end of ME1 smirk:


Imported her straight into ME2 (at level 50) with no facial modifications, so what you see is what you get:





Since she came out as a more Paragon-ish character this time, her armour reflects her morality, being mostly red with blue patterning.

(Love the expressions on her face in this scene.)

In a change to last time, she also decided to take a more hardline/Alliance approach to Cerberus so refuses to wear anything with the terrorists' logo on, which is why she's opted for the Science Officer's uniform. (Plus it shows off her figure better.)

(Is this really an appropriate pose for a captain who runs her ship 'military' when she talks to her male subordinates?)

A few pages back someone asked what Shepard's guilty (secret) pleasure was; at the time I didn't really know but looking over the screenshots I made last night I think I do now. In the privacy of her cabin, when no-one's watching, Jennifer likes to indulge in a spot of ballet dancing:

welcome laikabaws! hrm, good question.

talents? i see kyrie has having a visual-spatial intelligence that's off the charts (unlike me). as a kid she was an althelete, and did very well as a pitcher in softball (hence the affinity for the singularity talent). she has an uncanny way of being able to just know where things are in relation to herself in terms of distance, which is why her biotic skills are so deadly. that's probably her main talent. she planned on being an architect and going into colony design when she was a kid. mindoir changed that. other than that, she can sing a little (kaidan thinks she's a much better singer than she actually is) and then there's all the crazy mary-sue stuff bioware gave her as canon (namely, that she's a good enough fighter to actually live through all those battles - to me, that's talent enough.) but yeah, in my head, mostly the visual-spatial intelligence as an explanation for her deadliness. beyond that, i'm not sure if the pure cussedness that makes her never stop fighting is a talent, but she has that, too.

non-talents (or flaws, since i sort of copped out on that question)? she cannot dance. i totally will stand by the games on that for her. she has no sense of grace whatsoever. she cannot cook (never learned) cannot hold her alchohol (is that a talent? i dunno), and is not always very good at picking up on subtle interpersonal cues like, say, flirting (also, is that a talent? whatever it is, she's not good at it). i also see her as getting nervous when dealing with 'the public' (or the council, or admiralty boards). beyond the people she trusts, she doesn't really expect anyone to understand her motivations or like her or respect her. so she has a tendency to go on the defensive right off the bat, being icy or b*tchy or what have you. totally sticks her foot in her mouth as a result. i purposefully miss a lot of charm/intimidate persuades with her as she just charges through a situation bull-headed-like. frankly,i think it comes out of a selfishness that just assumes other people couldn't possibly relate to her - like, she can relate to them and lead them, but they couldn't do the same back. it's something i see changing over time for her, as she grows as a character.



um, yeah. i'll stop there. i analyze this in my own head a lot as i write her, so i could go on for a long time about good and bad points of the characters.

Wonderful! One of the most ‘real’-looking renditions I’ve seen recently.

…

I never got the whole ‘you, me, sex, now’ attitude that BW put in the conversations with Jacob in ME2… I had to stay away from him mostly because of that.

Welcome @laikabaws! As a fairly recent delurker, I can assure you, you will find a great place for you and your Sheps here! Everyone is pretty keen.

As to your question, there was no choice for Asche but the Systems Alliance Navy. Her parents are Navy, so she is Navy. She was given no real choice, as she wanted to please her mom, especially. If things had been completely and totally different? She's an overachiever, so she would probably be good at anything she set her mind too given the right motivation. HOwever, I don't think she'd be anything else but a soldier, a merc or a pilot. She likes guns. Big guns. She prefers solitude to company and has very few real friends because of it. She's terrible at chit chat. Is a wallflower (and can't dance. ). Spatially, she's good. Tactically, she's sound. Strategy she needs help with. She understands tech and flow charts and the need for them. Musically she likes hard metal (because rock and roll never dies).

Asche: I could turn pirate. I have an eyepatch. Sort of.


Evie would probably be hooked on Red Sand and living the life of a Red, and it would kill her. She was never educated enough to discover her true talents. But she knows how to use her biotics to the fullest and lets other worry about the tech. A bit of an opposite to Asche, who has to know everything about everything on the ship.

Evie: What button do you push again? What? No buttons?


Evie, just go smash things. Evie: Now you're talking!

Hrm, I find it amusing that Kyrie is so spatially aware and yet is a bit clumsy.  Traits don't always translate over


That does remind me of one thing I characterized about Drea, also an adept, and that is that she is graceful.  Something about the casting motions always made me figure she was very aware of her body and precise with her movements, kind of like a dancer.  Also with the Spacer background, I imagine she has been practicing technique from a very young age.

Out of my fav Sheps, she's the one I've thought the least about.  Maybe something about having such a non-tragic background makes it more difficult to pin down her personality outside of 'paragon.'



/can dance

....
Thanks Ashoken!

edit - also, a lot of earthborns here ending up dead or strung out criminals if not for the Alliance.  Fascinating.  

Teagan, being the clever sneaky sort, I could see being very successful at a life of crime.  And then ending up in jail.

 and that she has spatial awareness and no inter-personal awareness, too.

yes, i find it funny also. as for the dancing, she was brought up colony puritain, and they didn't let the kids dance. you'd think she'd make some sort of marital-arts-to-dance connection, you'd be wrong. 

i guess i could head-canon that she can dance. i sort of do for my other sheps, but kyrie i go with the awful dancing because i find it hilarious.

also, drea is lovely as always.

Oh man, I am so all over this.

Esperanza spent most of her childhood moving towards being a enforcer and general thug for the Reds, though she also wanted to be a boxer. She even won a few medals in bantam weights and underage catagories. She dreamed of joining one of the Urban Contact clubs (hence her unholy love for that sweet sweet Blood Dragon armor in 3). Of course, all that got thrown out the window when she faced either arrest with significant jail time or a chance to save herself and join the Alliance.


Yoshimi would have liked to be a stand-up comedian or actress. She's not as funny as she thinks she is, though.



Robin would have made the best therapist. She actually likes people and helping them through their problems.

Good question 

Reyna = Even with the earthborn background she is a complete goodhearted one. She was always helping in the slums the wounded and sick. So if not joining the military she probably would be a nurse. The possibility to study and be a doc wouldn't be happen, probably.

Carry = She was going a different way on Earth. I guess she would have her own criminal network - someone  above mentioned like Aria - I would see it for her too this way. 

Chiara = Colonist / Sole Survivor. She was dreaming, before the death rushed brutally in her life, to have a farm with lot of animals - like a lot of childs do. After the massacre on Mindoir there was no other way to get revenge as to join the Militair.

Well... Jane is a dreamer. She loves sci-fi and fantasy stories. She loves sci-fi and fantasy stories. Her dream was to command her own space ship and travel to unknown worlds (in some ways her dream came true). If she wasn't a soldier, Jane would probably become a writer.Or a singer. When she was a kid, she liked to sing, and people said she had a good voice. But now she sings only when there is no one around.
