Meet Zebah Shepard, a joint design by my girlfriend and me. Despite the Hebrew/Arab name, she's Asian (according to my girlfriend, Asian herself, these eyes were the most Asian in the game)
 

 

 
Zebah (Hebrew/Muslim name meaning 'victim' or 'sacrifice') did not have a fun childhood. Growing up on Mindoir, she was pretty much at the whim of her abusive father. Her alcoholic mother was only physically present, mentally she wasn't as she spent most of her time acquiring alcoholic drinks, drinking them and laying passed out on the couch, floor, in a corner of the house or somewhere in their beautiful garden (the garden being pretty much the only happy place in Zebah's youth), leaving her father with ample oppertunity and time to abuse her in any way he saw fit. You could say that, in a way, the slave raid on Mindoir saved Zebah more than it harmed her.
 
After being saved by the Alliance, she joined it and quickly rose in the ranks, gaining a fearless and ruthless reputation. There were and are doubts about her relationship with men, though. Any attempt at 'getting with her' is met with violence if the male persists in his attempts.. which is an improvement over her initial reaction of immediate violence at even the slightest hint of an attempt. At least now she gently brushes them off, at first. The Alliance accepts this drawback because of her combat skills though, which, probably fueled by her inner rage, are unmatched.



 
Zebah's adventures will not start yet though, earliest they'll start next monday (that's when my girlfriend leaves. For those who don't know: I'm in a long distance relationship). And I might toy around with the bonus skill, as I've messed around in the console giving myself XP and found out I just don't have enough available skillpoints to get where I want to be, so I might change AI Hacking to Shotgun or Assault Rifle and avoid leveling pistols and snipers altogether. Probably shotgun though, have never played a character who uses shotguns, and Infiltrator having access to immunity seems like good synergy.
 
Might also start even later, because I intend on buying a new computer next week. This one won't do anymore, every time I turn it on I'm afraid it might fly away and I'm still on a 15' monitor.. which also won't do, especially not if I buy a new computer with a beast of a videocard. I've gotten so used to having two monitors I'll need two though, which makes the computer a lot more expensive, but oh well. I have money.

Michelle Shepard

 

So I decide to get some R & R.  To my surprise Anderson gives me his apartment. What pay-grade was he to afford this? Or was Kathlee the one with the credits and Anderson was just with her for the money? I walk around the place. I guess I should buy some new furniture. And it has a hot tub. That will come in handy when I want to relax. I check my emails. Joker wants to talk and to meet him at some Sushi place.

 

Nice restaurant. Joker was there because he thought I sent him an email to meet him here. What's going on? Who is this woman?

 

Spoiler

   

 

New bad guys are after me? Sure ok. Here come the bad guys. I tell Jokwer to get help. I fight these clowns. The Brooks woman gets shot and I fall through the fish tank. AAAAHHHHHHHHH. That hurt. I will need Sam to give my body a massage when I get back. Brooks used too much medigel, so she's doing fine. I take care of these morons and get to a used car lot where Joker picks me up.

 

The weapon istraced to an arms dealer who is having some kind pf party tonight. Fine. I take Ashley and the Brooks woman with me. I rather have Sam with me. She would be the best looking woman at the party. We reach the office. He's dead, but we take whatever we can to find who this person is that is wanting to end me.

 

We head to the Citadel archives and run into my clone. I don't look bad. The clone has to dealt with after fighting her goons

 

Spoiler

  

 

Again fighting these morons. What? Stuck in a vault and the Brooks woman is behind all this. Brooks and the clone will be killed. I think I'll refer to then and dumb and dumber. 

 

There's the Normandy and of course have to fight the moron squad. Hope Sam is ok. These guys may want to go into a different line of work.

I see Sam. She's pissed. Sorry Sam.

 

Spoiler

   

 

And there are the dumb dumbs. I fight myself. I never wanted to kill myself like I do now. Both dead. Lets head back and relax. I want to make Sam is ok.

 

I will have a party after meeting up with everyone.

 

I go see Sam

 

Spoiler

 

 

See Garrus

 

Spoiler

   

 

Invite Liara to the apartment

 

Spoiler

  

 

And of course Traynor wants to use the hot tub instead of going some place nice to eat

 

Spoiler

   

 

 

I meet up with Steve, Joker, Kasumi, Zaeed, get in the arena with Jack to kill Cerberus,  di shots with Ashley, Javik showed me this "vid" he was talking about, checkout James new tattoo, release Grunt into my custody and edi gives me a ring.

 

I invite all to the party. I keep it simple and relaxing. Everyone seemed relaxed and enjoying themselves talking. We all gather in the livingroom for group photo.

 

The next morning I have everyone head back to the Normandy. We still have to deal with the reapers. But first we have to go to Chronos to get rid of Cerberus.

Mike.. aren't you on a PS3?

Did you find a way to make screenshots? or did you find them somewhere online? (the last one is definetly not in the game lol)

You are correct. I do play on a ps3.

 

What I do is take a screenshot from youtube and go from there. That is why my Shepard is never seen in any screenshots. The screenshot showing Traynor in the hot tub is from fishbone76, on deviantart, who used a flycam to get that shot. Here's the link

[Excella Gionne]

Instead of screenies, I'll give vids. Part 1 & 2 of Omega are up, while 3 & 4 will be done later... Feel free to skip through boring segments...

Omega Part 3:

 

[SporkFu]

Tonight's star-studded season finale: All Your Base Are Destroyed By Us.
Starring:

shep: First human spectre. Ended the Skyllian Blitz just by saying, "Really? You're betting against me ?" 


Miri: Genetically perfect. Designed leather uniforms for the Usaru Maestros Biotiball team. Getting rich off the royalties.


Sam: Half samurai, half-Jedi. Throws the best parties in Asari space. Confiscated 300 crates of minagen x3 on Ilium for 'research purposes'

 
With special guests:
 

Thane Krios: Trying to bring a little light into a dark universe. Wears shades just in case it works. 


Jacob Taylor: Greatest trick was proving he didn't exist. Didn't even have to try very hard. 


Garrus Vakarian: Proud to top Omega's 'most wanted vigilante' hit list. Unaware he's the only vigilante on Omega.


Jack: Wanted throughout the galaxy for several violent crimes. Out on bail because TIM. Swears she is never going back to prison. ( editor's note:  ) 


Mordin Solus: Kicked out of salarian STG when his caffiene addiction became problematic. Genuinely thought he was fooling everyone.


Zaeed Massani: Once survived being shot in the head. Acquaintances agree it improved his demeanor. 


Grunt: Tank-bred pure krogan. Genes distilled from the greatest krogan warlords in history. Has a promising future as shep's doorman. 


Legion: Claims it can knock the eye out of a bird a-flyin'. Unable to back up said claim, because its M98 Widow destroys entire bird.

Our story begins with Miri having rejoined shep and Sam on the Normandy....

TIM: Good morning angels.
Miri *stretches luxuriously*: Good morning TIM.
Sam *rises from meditations*: Morning TIM-baby.
TIM: You're in a good mood, Sam.
Sam: Yes. Miri is back with us. It's a good day to be alive.
Miri *smiles*: Don't get me wrong, boss, I had fun with you and Ori, but I missed these two.
TIM: Speaking of 'these two', where is shep?
shep *walks in*: Morning boss. Sorry I'm late. Just going over the final plans for entering the Omega-IV relay with EDI.
TIM: Happy to hear that, shep. As always you get right to the heart of things. I trust your team is ready for the assault.
shep: The team is anxious to start earning all those credits.
TIM: Good. You three know the situation, and you know I trust you to put an end to the collectors.
shep: I appreciate your faith in us, boss. We won't let you down.
TIM: You never have. Good luck, angels.

The other side of the Omega-IV relay was a massive graveyard of ships and collector drones keeping guard over them all. They attacked immediately and their weapons were too much for the even the SR-2's armor plating. They began cutting through it just like before, and the team suffered its first casualty:

One of TIM's first new angels, Jack's death hit the crew pretty hard, and shep vowed to avenge her. One of the drones boarded the ship through a hull breach in the shuttle bay.

shep: Legion, report to the shuttle bay. We have to deal with this thing.
Legion: Acknowledged.
shep: Grunt, you too. Get moving.
Grunt: Hey, my vorcha steaks are almost done. Can't we kill that thing after lunch?
shep: Dammit, Grunt. I need you in the shuttle bay... now!
Grunt: Yeah, yeah, I'm watching that thing through the window. It doesn't look so tough. Lunch first.
shep *sigh*: Okay look, you help me deal with this drone, and we'll go get some take-out... okay??
Grunt: Deal. This is why you're the battlemaster.
shep *mutters* Damn krogan. Always have to promise them something before they'll do anything.

While Legion and shep took up positions behind cover and loaded their Widows with disruptor ammo, Grunt head-butted the port cargo bay window, smashing it into a million pieces, jumped down into the shuttle bay, charged the drone, and punted it back through the hull breach it had created.

Legion: We have reached consensus. We are in awe.
Grunt: Heh-heh-heh. Can we get something to eat now?
shep: Sure, Grunt. Let's go.

The second wave of the collector counter-attack saw the return of shep's old nemesis, the collector ship which had spaced her and then caught up with her again on Horizon.

shep: Third time is the charm. Ready, Joker? Blow that thing to bits!
Joker: Aye aye Commander... Ow, my tongue.
EDI: Your tongue does not have Vrolek's Syndrome, Jeff.
Joker: Remind me to tell you about not sharing our intimate details with everyone sometime...
shep *rolls eyes*: Just kill that ship already.

Joker flew the Normandy straight at the Collector ship, closing range before it's beams to could do any real damage. That was the plan anyway. The Normandy did take a few hits though, and the team suffered its second casualty.


With the collector ship destoyed, the Normandy limped to its landing zone on the collector base. Shep gathered the survivors in the conference room and discussed a plan of attack. They discovered that in order to destroy the base, they would have to get to the main control centrer and overload the base's critical systems. The control center was cut off from the outside by massive locked doors that could only be opened from the inside. It was decided someone would have to crawl through the ventilation shaft to do it.

Jacob: Practically a suicide mission. I volunteer.
shep: Joker, how about you? I seem to remember you like that kind of thing.
Joker: Only EDI's vents, commander.
Sam, Miri, Grunt, Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Zaeed, Kasumi, Legion: *facepalm*
EDI: Weren't you just saying something about not sharing intimate details, Jeff?
Joker: Hey, shep sets 'em up, I knock 'em down.
Jacob *ahem*: I said I'll do it!
shep: EDI, is someone hacking into our communications?
EDI: No, commander. Firewalls are intact.
shep: Hmm. Oh well, we'll deal with that later. Okay we're going to split into two teams here. Once you guys decide on someone to go through the vents, Sam, Miri and I will take one route. Zaeed... I want you leading the rest down the other route. Just do that thing you do if you meet any opposition, okay?
Zaeed *scowls*
shep: Yeah that. You'll be fine.

Even though they couldn't see or hear anyone in the vent, the Angels fought their way through to the door, killing dozens of collectors and husks along the way. They arrived at the door to find it already open, and Zaeed's team arriving on the other side. The door was jammed, though, and they couldn't shut it behind them. The team may have suffered its third casualty at that point:

Next the seeker swarms attacked. There were too many for Mordin's counter-measure to be effective, so it was decided that Sam would create a giant biotic bubble and take shep, Miri and Legion to the central chamber and open the other door for Zaeed's team. With a quick snort of minagen x3, Sam was ready:








At the doors, the team suffered it's fourth casualty:



shep decided it was time to put an end to all this nonsense. With Zaeed gone, it was decided Garrus would lead the rest of the squad to keep the collectors off shep's back while she went to the control center and set them up the bomb.

It was then the team suffered its last casualty:


Shep took Sam and Grunt for the final battle. Even though Grunt had some misgivings...



...he knew that shep would take care of things by destroying them with big guns, and that's exactly what she did.



Mission accomplished.



Epilogue:

TIM: Congratulations, Angels, and well done.
Miri and Sam: Thank you, TIM.
shep *subdued*: Thanks, boss.
TIM: Something wrong, shep?
shep: Not everyone made it back.
TIM: I know, and I'm sorry for that. Tell you what, you've all earned a break. Why not bring everyone back to my place for some R&R?
shep: Deal. We'll be there soon.
Joker *over the comm*: Uhh, commander? Sorry to cut short the celebration, but you've got a priority message from the Admiral.
shep *to Sam and Miri* You two go on ahead, I'll catch up. See you soon, TIM.
TIM: Looking forward to it, dear shep.
Sam: Don't be long, okay?
shep: Promise... *to self* Hackett? The hell does he want?

END.

I'mma firin' mah lazer!

I think this would be sadder if it wasn't Jacob. Oh no, Collectors killed the black guy that was semi-important. Legion, THIS IS JUST LIKE THOSE MOVIES!!! *SOBS SOBS SOBS*

I demand a screenshot of this, like NOW

So after co-designing Zebah with me, hours later, my girlfriend suddenly said:

"Honey, I want to make a character in your game"

She's not going to play it, she just wants to make a pretty girl I think should get Black Desert 2 for her

[Excella Gionne]

Final part of Omega: 

 

[von uber]

Does she actually call you honey? Blimey.

What do you think of that, Amy?

 

 

Yeah, I thought so too. (Oooh, a sneak preview... cunning.. keep them interested eh? i like your style... reckon they will notice she has put on makeup for the evening? Probably not, best not mention it.)

 

Anyway, Amy's adventures are on hold whilst I fix things like this:

 

 

And try not to bugger up other things (like losing all the textures off everything.. that was amusing.. Or having no body at all..).

Yes she does. Bear in mind we're both not speaking our native language to each other. She's a native Thai who speaks Isan at home, I'm a native Dutch who speaks Frisian at home. We're communicating in our third language.

And before all you guys minds run crazy, she's not a postorder bride I met her while she was studying in the Netherlands (studies were in English, so no need to learn Dutch), and when I convert her salary to my currency I'm deeply impressed. She makes almost as much as I do, in Thailand, and I work at a bank. (the downside to dating a Thai, people assume a lot of things and I constantly have to explain myself, so I do so beforehand now)

Don't worry, didn't think that at all. Then again I live in hodgepodge California.

I think I prefer her Before, the After has unrealistic shading as if she always has bright clothes that glow in the dark. It lacks realistic shadows.
