I know what spacer and colonist Shep say when they land on Eden Prime to get Javik. What does earthborn Shep say?

[Sejborg]

Enemies everywhere!

[Mcfly616]

 He basically says that the slums he grew up in on Earth were grimey....and that Eden Prime doesn't deserve this.

[Excella Gionne]

"The city on Earth where I grew up was hard and dirty. I can see it as a war zone. Eden Prime doesn't deserve this."

Who RP's where their Shepard is from (Earthborn)?

 

Mine's from LA.

I always assumed earthborn Shep was from London. I guess Priority: Earth influenced my thinking there.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Toronto for my Earthborn, mainly due to voice actor's nationality.

[themikefest]

As said by HYR 2.0, my femshep grew up in Toronto near the CN Tower. She likes drinking Labatt's Blue and from time to time goes to the skydome to watch the Blue Jays play baseball and in the winter see's the Maple Leafs play hockey.

 

For what she says on Eden Prime, I would like for her to say, why didn't anyone find this after the beacon was found 3 years ago. Why only now?

My Earthborn Shep is from Detroit. He describes the place very accurately during the Eden prime mission.

[JasonShepard]

So what does the Spacer say? I know Colonist Shepard says something to the effect of "They rebuilt Mindoir. It wasn't the same." when Liara suggests Eden Prime could be rebuilt.

[TheOneTrueBioticGod]

If the Earthborn is biotic, then probably from Singapore.

Something about if one ship is lost you can just move to another.

[MassivelyEffective0730]

I don't think BW understood the concept of Spacer. You can't have families aboard a ship with you. They move around as you change whichever planet you're stationed on. If you're on a ship, then you'd be stationed on one planet and likely would spend all your time there.

 

My Shepard is an American (not North American, but United States American, even if the U.S. has technically combined with Canada and Mexico by this point). I'm one of those guys where a protagonist, if it's available to choose or RP, is always a white male American.

Perhaps It's like Star trek: TNG, where you had families of crewmembers about the Enterprise-D, Shepard just stayed on whatever ship his/her parrents were assinged too.

Judging from the dialogue in Spacer background quest in ME1, this seems to be the case.

 

From what I remember, Shep's mom says something like: "Do you remember <guy's- name>? He was a guard onboard the <shipname>, and one of the first to go to <planet-name/Mindoir(?)> after the batarian attack".

What about space stations? They tend to have more substantial populations, and possibly have a larger percentage of civilians.

It's possible as well. The big thing is that Mass Effect implies that whole families are on-board warships at any time.

[themikefest]

I would not want families onboard ships. They take up room that can be used for supplies, weapons and personnel that would be needed for any mission.

I always thought it was more like how people can occasionally have a family member aboard modern day warships on [rare] occasion. Like I was able to visit the USS Alaska, but I didn't live on the thing.

There are such things as a 'Family Day', where the vessel is at its home port and non-sensitive parts of the ship are open by invitation to the families of crew-members. Both of my parents were officers, so I was used to seeing plenty of ships. My Dad was a flyer (S-3 Viking) so I'm pretty familiar with Carriers, and Mom was in Intel. She worked on a variety of ships, but she was a Restricted Line Officer, so she spent most of her time on shore installations. The big thing for me was how they were both stationed with different fleets for several periods. Mom was with the Fourth Fleet (South America), Second Fleet (East Coast and Western Atlantic), and Third Fleet (Eastern Pacific), while Dad spent most of his time with the Seventh Fleet (Western Pacific, Oceania, Eastern Asia). They were both in the Seventh Fleet together for the majority of their careers however, though they were also stationed together in the Sixth Fleet (Europe, Eastern Atlantic) when we lived in England. Dad also served with the Fifth Fleet when he was in the Middle East. When both were deployed, I typically was with Mom on her shore posts. When Dad moved to Civil Affairs and PR, they ended up in the Seventh Fleet together for the most part. They were both high enough in rank to be able to pull strings and get me wherever they needed me to be (Mom was an O-4 Lieutenant Commander, and Dad was an O-5 Commander). I was able to spend more time than the average dependent on a ship when I had too.

NYC for my earthborn, just cause it's my city, and appropriately hard/full of gang activity. Although, I do find it somewhat hard to imagine NYC would actually retain any of its dirty and grimy glory by the 22nd century (yay gentrification)

I always imagined my earthborn Shepard hailing from Brooklyn. I wonder what my neighborghood would look like 200 years from now. I imagine there'd be a lot more bars and cafes, and cookie-cutter condominiums stretching far as the eye can see. I can see overcrowding having a seriously negative effect on the area. Can't build out, so you have to build up. I can picture the Dredd-like high rises.

My Shepard is from Los Angeles, and spent a lot of his formative years similar to Kirk in the beginning of Star Trek (2009). He was the only Genius-level repeat offender on the West Coast, moving up and down the coastline from Cabo to Anchorage and causing crap wherever he went.

[KaiserShep]

I imagine that wherever Shepard would be from, it would be something like either the high rises of Judge Dredd, or the sprawl of Los Angeles in Elysium, judging from the "hard and dirty" comment.
