Must be because of Old Spice!


 

 

This...this is glorious.

who says it has to be "her"?

 

Bahahaha

Those hair styles look nice but I think if you walked into the military like that, they'd probably think you were cute and make you take it off.

Maybe now (although not sure that is the case even now - maybe in the US). Probably not in 2183.

[Lady Artifice]

It's true. None of those hairstyles would conform to modern American millitary regulations (I don't know about British, Canadian, etc). They don't allow a lot of elaborate braided designs or loose hair.

 

Though, there are some indications that Systems Alliance regulations are disparate from today's American ones.

 

The prize?

 

Disgusted noise.

Female Hair Standards

Female soldiers will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk of the hair are not excessive, and that the hair does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited. Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head, and any holding devices comply with the standards. Dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) are prohibited in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so no free-hanging hair is visible. This includes styles worn with the improved physical fitness uniform (IPFU).
Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are not secured to the head (allowing hair to hang freely), widely spaced individual hanging locks, and other extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are authorized only if these additions have the same general appearance as the individual's natural hair. Additionally, any wigs, extensions, hairpieces, or weaves must comply with grooming policies.
Females will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of military headgear, protective masks, or equipment at any time. When headgear is worn, the hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the front of the headgear or below the bottom edge of the collar.
Hair-holding devices may be used only for securing the hair. Soldiers will not place hair-holding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair-holding devices must be plain and of a color as close to the soldier's hair as is possible or clear. Authorized devices include, but are not limited to, small, plain scrunchies (elastic hair bands covered with material), barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive or decorative are prohibited. Some examples of prohibited devices include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads, bows, or claw clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from hairpieces.

So a bit of scope.

We are in Andromeda, which is a wild and hostile enviroment. I'm pretty sure the rules don't apply much

[Lady Artifice]

This is one of the reasons why I'd prefer the option to play a non military protagonist, but I realize how unlikely that is.

Civilians are squishy

Former soldier turned mercenary- not squishy.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Liara

Tali

Miranda

Thane

Kasumi

[Steelcan]

Liara

Tali

Miranda

Jack

Thane

Kasumi

just pointing out that all of them, sans Miranda, are in fact very squishy in game

 

 

yeah yeah gameplay/story segregation

[Lady Artifice]

Liara

Tali

Miranda

Jack

Thane

Kasumi

 

To be fair, those are all biotic and tech experts. They aren't renowned for resillience.

 

Not that I think Warder's dismissiveness is justified.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Really? They've all done well for me even on Insanity. 

 

But yeah, gameplay/lore segregation too. 

To be fair, those are all biotic and tech experts. They aren't renowned for resillience.

They are still people with non-military backgrounds that can take care of themselves and aren't "squishy". 

[Master Warder Z_]

Liara

Tali

Miranda

Jack

Thane

Kasumi

 

All very squishy, for one reason or another.

 

Especially Miranda

[Steelcan]

I'd definitely consider them all squishy though, not a shred of armor to be seen among them

[Master Warder Z_]

*nods* And what does Zaeed do? He strolls up in patch job armor that actually shows its effectiveness.

 

Its always a good sign when you can see impact points where rounds failed to penetrate, shows you the armor is tough.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

The point is you can have a civilian background rather than a military one and still be protagonist material. 

 

But instead, we get Shepard 2.0 as the protagonist.

Ok, we've veered off topic.

 

Here's something: If you were to imagine your ideal alien environment to explore, what would it look like?

Bahahahahaahahahaahaaahaha

 

If you want them to grow into a 'bad ass' trope or some garbage like that sure, that said. Civil Law Enforcement, Mercenaries, Soldiers, Insurgents, even gang members have advantages over the vanilla civilian and they are rarely punished for it, they take to shooting, acting under pressure naturally, Its a load of crap. If your a ezoo miner then you should know how to mine, how to sneak into fortified positions and establish operating bases should be beyond you, but because of story and game play segregation that is implausible therefore I am content that once again the PC is military even if its a vaguely explained crap military.

 

Also who the hell mentioned protagonists? I didn't? I just pointed out civilians in mass effect are squishy. And they are, a bunch of oddballs I'll say that much in what they'd wear into battle. I wouldn't wear anything that skimpy but then again bullets hurt, and I am real, and feel pain.

And Liara above. 

[Master Warder Z_]

 

 

And Liara above. 

 

Alternative costume packages, aka dlc you need to pay for really shouldn't classify as canon wardrobe given that its yeah, cosmetic dlc that doesn't impact their actual in field performance in the least.

You didn't, but you replied to a post talking about it. 

[Steelcan]

I was going with their canon appearance, ie what they wear for default
