Ashley was also an unwelcome sight. Might have to go back and let Carth.. I mean Kaidan survive.

So far they've only had minor mention and are the only species yet to make a physical appearance at all. It'd be good to see at least one as a representative of the species.

I like all your batarian ideas. If only Balak from Mass Effect 1 were a squadmate.. that would be sweet.

Male salarians far outnumber the females, and the female salarians tend to stay on Sur'Kesh and hold political power. Not to say it's impossible, but unlikely. The Turians on the other hand can do whatever job they like regardless of gender...
...Garrus's sister for squadmate!

Yeah, a female turian would be sweet. Saren's daughter maybe?

Alice Smith, she is a student from the science part of the Grissom Academy who is a master hacker and has developed an advanced remote synthetic combat platform system and has special neural hookup systems related to the project overlord type stuff to control it. The remote combat platform is the actual physical squad-mate, but it is different from EDI's Dr. Eva platform, more support and tanky than engineer style. It has the ability to deploy wide area shields similar to the Asari Justicar in Multi-player, high health and shields, powerful melee attacks, and rather than carry standard weaponry, it has two unique weapons built in, which are too heavy for normal use, a very slow heavy cannon, which is basically an artillery weapon, and a heavy particle beam weapon, but unlike the Prothean one or the collector heavy weapon from ME2, it is most powerful during the initial moments, and weakens afterwards a bit, and takes a while not firing to cool off so it can return to the high-power mode. It also has a defensive personal shield thing similar to barrier and tech-armor and fortification and such, and gravitic distortion pulse, which fires a straight line tech blast similar to a very short lived but higher damage singularity which pulls nearby enemies to it and tends to knock them prone or staggers them, and often causes Guardians to drop their shields. As a hacker, she also has sabotage to hack enemy mech units or overheat enemy weapons.
Alice joins the Normandy crew because Cerberus is after her and her designs specifically, and the Citadel and other locations the other tech students are being taken aren't safe enough for her, and she doesn't trust the Crucible project.
Alice Smith is actually a generic fake name she was given, she is actually a genetically engineered clone with enhanced intelligence, Salarian-like speed of thought and rapid-learning, drell-like memory, and Asari-like melding ability, who was created illegally. The project that created her was raided by the Alliance when discovered, arresting the scientists involved, as it was quite illegal by both Alliance and Citadel standards, but one of the clones was alive and sane, and they had no reason to kill her, instead, her genetic engineering became top secret, known only to higher ups in the Citadel and Alliance, and she was placed into a form of foster care and protective custody, and wound up being educated at Grissom Academy when she was older.
Alice is frighteningly intelligent, and can be surprisingly charismatic, but is held back by relative lack of emotional control and a combination of high ego, seeing herself as superior to others, and frustration with others being less intelligent than her. She winds up getting along well with EDI, who can keep up with her intellectually, although is less intuitive and inventive, and is able to respect other squad-mates within their areas of expertise, but has tendencies to show off her intelligence, often in off-putting ways, or be insulting towards others for failing to keep up with her mentally.
Alice sets up a lab on the Normandy, along with a bunch of computers for simulation and programming and hacking work, and is attempting to design weapons, tech advancements, and more powerful shields and new technologies for a potential long-term war against the Reapers, as well as analyze battle data to try to discover Reaper weaknesses. She believes the Reapers are too intelligent, and have gone through too many cycles, to have a simple weakness that a device like the Crucible might be able to utilize to defeat them, and that we have to find a way to survive and build up forces and technology long enough and well enough to defeat them conventionally.
While she possesses telepathic abilities similar to an Asari or Prothean, she is basically untrained in them, as well as lacks years of evolution to handle them properly even if she did have proper training (although her mental capacity would enable training to work admirably as she has incredible mental adaptability), so avoids close physical proximity to others, especially touch, as it tends to result in strange mental interactions. Once her abilities are revealed, she may attempt to get help from Liara and possibly if you have the correct DLC, Javik, in order to train her mental abilities.
Alice is a teenager, and somewhat immature, if properly charmed and interest shown towards her, she may attempt to romance either gender of Shepard, but only paragons who are engineers, sentinels, or infiltrators (tech types). Shepard trying to reciprocate however is a renegade action, and Alice winds up changing her mind and becoming intimidated, and realizes she isn't ready for this emotionally yet. Paragon Shepard can either say they aren't interested, or note that she is too young, and she should wait some years before considering an adult relationship. Attempting the renegade action ruins your relationship with her. If Paragon path is uninterested in her, she can become like a younger sister or adoptive child to Shepard (also if Shepard isn't a tech class that interests her), if Paragon path is intending to wait but still interested, she'll behave a lot like a young girl with a crush, and will act somewhat catty towards Liara and Tali at times (not Tali for fem-Shep). If Shepard doesn't show interest in her, or isn't a class that she will show interest towards, but she is still coaxed out of her shell, and Shepard isn't romancing Traynor, then she'll end up getting a crush on Traynor, and stalking her, which Traynor is flattered but mildly creeped out by, as Alice is a bit too young for her.
Some conversations with a charmed Alice will reveal that she was 'spayed' against her will by the Alliance, and resents both the Alliance and Citadel for this, although she admits that she'd be unlikely to have been able to safely have children anyways, because none of her fellow clones both survived and wound up sane, and her children might not inherit the delicate genetic balance that worked out for her with the influence of another involved, but an emotional part of her still wishes she'd gotten the chance. She also believes the laws against certain aspects of genetic engineering are unfairly preventing the advancement of organic life to it's truest potential. She also believes AI laws, while slightly better than the genetic engineering laws, are preventing the eventuality of a tech singularity and the development of a Trans-humanist society.
When and if Alice meets Legion, she is quite excited once she discovers Legion's gamer handle, who has become something of her rival in some online games, the only one who has gotten comparable scores on certain games. If her genetic engineering has been revealed, Legion notes that the cultural restrictions on species improvement by organics makes little sense to the Geth, who regularly upgrade both their hardware and software and design new platforms of differing use and specialties, such as collosi, armatures, primes, hoppers, and other models that differ from the original forms developed by the Creators (Quarians). Legion will also note that her telepathic abilities, based on data on Prothean memory technology and Rachni Queen communications, might be able to be developed in such a way as to eventually allow organics to form their own a network of Consensus like the Geth, if they stopped blocking such research and advancement. Alice is fascinated and excited by this idea.
Alice has a special mission in which you find out Cerberus has gotten their hands on the plans for an advanced Dreadnaught she designed, and has almost completed building it, which she discovered via hacking, they hare having trouble implementing the designs fully due to spreading their manpower and resources thin, and, she suspects, many of their engineers are too indoctrinated to use their intelligence to the fullest, which is causing them to make mistakes. She has hacked into their network to sabotage the design using secret programs set up as back-doors that were embedded in her schematics in case they were stolen to get into their systems, to prevent them from being able to easily finish the ship, and cause the engineers to mess up in various areas, but she thinks that the ship can be retrieved for your fleet to re-take Earth, and trusts you to put it to good use if you properly charm her, so helps you find the Cerberus base where they are trying to build it. You can then assault the base, and after defeating Cerberus there, the Alliance takes the ship and is able to quickly finish it with Alice's help giving them un-hacked plans, and some sources of resources Cerberus were using to build it, which you discover during the mission. The additional high-tech dreadnaught then adds War Assets. It is said to be comparable in abilities to the Destiny Ascension, despite being smaller. While most dreadnaughts take 4 of them to beat a full size Reaper, it is theorize that only 2 1/2 of these ships would be needed, and that further refinements are possible in the future to the design, as new technologies are developed, as well as potential improvements from including secret military technologies from alien governments, like many secret Asari and Salarian techs used in their most advanced craft, such as Silaris armor.
This is so interesting. I to have wondered what the interactions would be like if he had some sort of kid to look after, and the Father-daughter exchanges would be so touching to watch
Definately like!

I like this a lot.
I think parental Shep could add further touching moments to the story.
I also imagine interactions with Miranda could add some humour given their differing views on genetic modification.

Pretty sure thats /thread..
But just in case; my top 5:
1. Kal'Reegar.
2. Ghost from MW2 (game sucked but he was/looked cool).
3. Daft Punk; special double feature. If you dont convince Joker to hook up with EDI a scene would ensue in which joker goes down to the AI core to attone and walks in on EDI... with both of them. She's supposed to be exploring her new found humanity right?
4. William DeFoe's character from Platoon.
5. Miranda's little sister (niiice). Definite LI option, which if explored, should/would lead to an explosively realistic love triangle. Shepards 'jewels' will never be the same (Totally worth it) .

- An elite Cerberus trooper whose implants didn't indoctrinate him
- Uses a fully-automatic Mattock (this could be the weapon that comes with the DLC)
- Is technically an infiltrator (hence the name of the iOS game) but has biotic powers and is proficient in ARs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Heavy Weapons.
- Has glowing scars like Renegade Shepard but Ezno's are blue.
