So, now that we know Foundation is going to be similar to Homeworlds(in that it shows events from characters' backstories) and so far we have Wrex, Ashley, and Kaidan getting stories so far. The question is, what else should they show?

For me, I'll list out everything I'd like to see in the chapters.

1. Miranda's backstory: Growing up under the opressive thumb of her father and stealing Oriana away from him.

2. Jacob's past trauma on Eden Prime: That's something I'm curious about. He wasn't part of the 212, but was fighting on Eden Prime and was, if the two door guards were talking about him, he was traumatized and declared CAT 6 before he just resigned and joined Cerberus.

3. Dr Chakwas: She's been more or less a surrogate mother to the Normandy crew, yet she's never really been fleshed out beyond her work for the Alliance.

4. Zaeed: His past with Vido and the betrayal and everything.

5. Admirall Hacket: He's the one who gives us our orders, but we've never actually seen the man's personal side.

6. Anderson: This one's a must have. Shepard's mentor and father-figure, the most decorated soldier in the Alliance and first graduate of the N7 Program on top of the first human to ever be considered to join the Spectres.

7. Kasumi Goto and Keiji. See how they met, and their lives up until the point where Donovan Hock killed him for his greybox.

8. Thane. The assassin that shot everyone right through the feels in a game and a half's worth of time.

9. Mordin, obviously.

Legion: I'd love to see him following Shepard's trail and how he went from the Geth substitue version of himself (that you see on Rannoch if he's dead) to the Legion we know and love.

The Illusive Man: I just want someone to retcon the entirety of his nonsensical origin and give him one worthy of his ME2 incarnation.

How's it nonsensical?

ME1 said Cerberus started out as an Alliance Black Op = Evolution shows The Illusive Man as a mercenary doing black operations for the Alliance on Shanxi.

Mass Effect Revelation said Saren hates humans because his brother died in the FCW = Evolution shows Saren being convinced to kill his brother and swearing revenge on humanity during the time of the FCW.

Mass Effect 2 shows the Illusive Man as having steely blue husk eyes. = Evolution shows him acquiring his husk eyes from a Reaper artifact.

The Illusive Man was always a fraud. He showed his true colors in Retribution when he decided to continue the Collectors' research after having Shepard stop it.

I thought it was some red haired woman. Or something. She has a knife? Strong...female...character?

And considering the Homeworlds comics were REALLY short I seriously doubt anything REALLY meaty will come up.

I thought the warning lights went off at the end of ME2. Great character though. One of my favorites.

[MegaSovereign]

The fact that so many people on this board fell for TIM's charm is a testament to how great a character he was. TIM is by no means a saint, or even a neutral figure.

This is a good bunch. I'd like to add Wrex's mercenary exploits, Javik's backstory and Samara becoming a justicar to the list.

EDIT: Also, anything to do with Cortez or Traynor would be appreciated too. Despite being latecomers, those two are great characters and I'd like to see more of them.

Jacob resigned despite being offered a promotion to try and keep him on board.  He wasn't dishonourably discharged

CAT6 isn't just dishonorables. It's medical discharges too.

Jacob clearly had a post traumatic stress from Eden Prime(which he even references)

And the door guard did say that the man argued and said he still fit to serve and that "last thing" he said he was joining Cerberus.

What I take from it, they probably forced Jacob to take medical leave after Eden Prime, he fought, they refused, he said **** it, and then they tried to tempt him to stay, and he declined.

A story about how Zaeed went from being with the Alliance to collecting his first bounty. A dark seedy story that would be.

[DuskWanderer]

I'd like to see the ME2 squaddies get some more love.

1.) Give us the story of how Miranda leaves her father and comes to Cerberus, how she stole Ori as a baby. Tie in with Niket and Lantaea.

2.) Zaeed's betrayal by Vido.

3.) Kasumi and Keiji's first heist together, coupled with their backstory.

4.) Mordin's story on the genophage, with Maelon and Kirrahe on Tuchanka

5.) Vignettes of Samara trailing Morinth, like that colony where she had the brainwashed puppets.

Away from squadmates, I'd like to see the return of Gianna Parasini, and her undercover white collar crime.


I do like Legion, but I'm not sure his story would work, since it's a very introspective one. Jack's "vandalism" incident sounds fun, but it's not an entire story. Not sure how one would tailor down Thane's story to a comic, since there's a lot of stuff there. Cortez and Traynor might have interesting stories, but I'm not sure what they'd do. Cortez's only backstory was losing Robert and Traynor nearly got abducted on Horizon, but they didn't really do anything, it just happened around them.

[B.Shep]

I am hoping for something about Thane during his days as a killer. Zaeed would be nice too.

Anyway, as long they don't do something about Miranda/Liara/Tali/Garrus/TIM/James I will be happy. These six already had some time on the expanded ME universe.

[AlexMBrennan]

Anderson

Had a whopping three books written about him.

[Zaalbar]

I'd like to see a story of the Prothean scientist that travelled through the conduit to the Citadel to alter the Keeper signal and perhaps give more details on the Catalyst,

Some back story on the origins of the Crucible.

Maybe a back story for the Catalyst and the lead up to the first harvest.

I've always wanted to see a story on the Yahg Shadow Broker of when he was taken from his home world and the lead up to him becoming the Shadow Broker.

Thank you, I thought I was going to be the only one to suggest this.

Their story could be fantastic, as it'd be a tragic prelude to the series.

[Soul8lighter]

Grunt, I want to see what kind of things he was taught in the tank, what images were imprinted on him.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Kai leng after being kicked out of the alliance and his first mission as a cerberus operative.

Not even trolling this time.

[Xplode441]

Pressly was a character I really liked in ME1 who I'd really like to see more of.

[Massa FX]

I'd like to learn about the other Shep clones and what else TIM did with Shep's DNA.

I can't imagine only 1 clone when you could make 100's.

[Gemini Freak]

Anything that could involve Randall Ezno.

[Fixers0]

To be honest, I'm pretty much sick and tired of all these origins stories, A few are good, especially if they provide new insingts into the universe or involve interesting conflicts. but with with everything pretty much building up to the Reaper war, you'll quickly run out of options.
