Hope you enjoyed our #N7Day video. Maybe you should look closer, too.

 

I've noticed on YouTube, some people saying that the protagonists last name is "Ryder." I can not make out the writing on the dogtag, but it's clearly in the video. What do you think? If "Ryder" is true, then "Ghost Riders" makes sense.

'Ryder' huh? If true, I'll do my best to make him look like Lance 'Ryder' Wilson from GTA: San Andreas.

Good catch, for whomever caught this first. I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been mentioned in another thread.

 

Ryder being the last name of the new protagonist would be in line with how Bioware named Shepard, assuming Ryder is derived from Sally Ride. Commander Shepard was named after Alan Shepard.

Already discussed in the twitter-thread. I'm pretty sure Sally Ride is the astronaut in the trailer at 0:36.

Well sorry. I didn't see any threads about this, and I rarely check the thread. Thanks for bring it to my attention. I suppose I could drudge through the twitter thread.

She doesn't look like Sally Ride, but Kathryn C. Thornton.

Definitely nice catch, and Ryder as the last name isn't bad. Like you mentioned it would make since with the whole "Ghost Rider" thing.

If the last name is Ryder, will Bioware use Jane and John for the first names for default or choose different names?

Ryder that's a great last name!!! If that's gonna be our new protagonist last name, then I'm going to name him Dash Ryder.

"Ryder"? Yep, I like it. And it does sound like the kind of "cool" surname that BioWare would choose. It reminds me of "Hawke". 

 

All strong and heroic.

Love it. The nod to Sally Ride is absolutely appropriate, the same way the nod to Alan Shepard was. Ryder also sounds like a great all around protagonist name, same as Hawke and Shepard.

The dog tags may also hint at another military protagonist.

Do not see a Alliance or N7 logo on the dog tag might be on the other side but Ryder is a cool name.

"Ryder" is an English name for "Knight". So it makes even more sense.

Rider/Ryder works really well in German. Coincidentally, the best known German astronaut right now is Thomas Reiter (= German word for rider, horseman etc.), currently director of human spaceflight at ESA.

I thought it might hint at a military protagonist because dog tags are military.

I like "Ryder." One thing I'll give Bioware, they're generally pretty good at picking names with versatility and power. 

 

Edit: Now I'm actually hoping this is the case.

I agree i think his military my comment was not aimed at you i just remembered the logos are on the other side of the dogtag not next to there name.

Not bad as a last name but when people call you Ryder it effectively feels like your first name as its also a first name. A really crappy first name. Shepard worked for me as it always felt like a last name that people just happened to address you by. Like how since in my game group there are 3 Daves I go by last names.
