Good drain, or bad drain? Also War Hero, and Earth born. One Shepard was in a gang, raisd on the streets on Earth. fought off 10,000 Batarians, and makes the boy a little more sense to Earth born Shepard, rather than the others.
Most of it good drain. It's a great game, but it's so long if you do all the sidequests. Wind up itching to get to 2 and 3. Pinnacle Station baaaaaaaaaaad drain. Very very bad.
I typically go with spacer/war hero. Not big on the tragedy background and
really not big on the gangs background. I hate RPing a character that's far off from my own stances and gangs is something I'd never do under any circumstance. Occasionally I'll take the sole survivor, but it pisses me off not being able to bring it up with TIM or Miranda when she's cheerleading.

I also have only one Shepard - my first and only. Earthborn, Butcher of Torfan, killed the rachni (it seemed lika a thing to do at the time), sacrificed the council (it seemed like a thing to do at the time, and i stand by this choice!), Kept wrex alive. Kaidan Alenko died on virmire (Ashley was on the bomb team, Kaidan was leading the salarian scouts. when i had to choose - i chose to make sure that the bomb is secured, + Kaidan is of higher rank, and male. When it comes to sacrifice in the line of dute, my phylosophy is - Higher rank male officers first)
I hate how it's always talked about as if the Council was the only thing sacrficied with the Destiny Ascension. There were thousands of people on board. I can't even see sacrificing it with the logic that you need to save your firepower for Sovereign. Because the Ascension is powerful even by dreadnought standards. You're not saving firepower by sacrificing it, you're losing firepower. Basic military strategy: divide and conquer. No reason to divide your assets.
If I had the lifespan of an asari, I'd still never figure out the "women's lives are worth more than men's" philosophy. Equality isn't limited to paychecks.
