In pre-game media?  I think it was.  They depicted her as violent, impulsive, and willing to engage in casual sex.  In the game, no, definitely not.

None of which are exclusive to, or even major indicators for, psychopathy. If anything, its characterized primarily by a sometimes charming or otherwise normal exterior behavior, concealing a deceitful, calculating and emotionally detached interior.

Jack was presented as pretty much the opposite of this. She was the in your face, overtly violent, what you see is what you get, loud and foul-mouthed, self-proclaimed b*tch. The opposite of "normal" and well-adjusted.

That's true.  The 'bad behavior' wasn't masked by some outwardly 'normal' personality.  Why they picked 'psychopath' then, I do not know.

It's eye catching and sensationalist. I only really think Shepards, Mordins, Thane's, and Grunt's fight for the lost names really fit.

Here's a question ((to the thread). If you could, what would you rather rename Jack's fight for the lost title to be?

Probably because "the antisocial, borderline, histrionic, with a splash of narcissism for good measure, all-powerful b*tch" didn't roll off the tongue so well.

Pretty much and because the common connotation for psychopath is just "crazy and violent person".

The conversation I just had went something like this:
Me: If you could use one word to describe Jack, what would it be?
Friend: Angry.
Me: Angry? Well, how about if you had to give her a title like "the Psychopath," but, you know, describes angry.
Friend: She's not a psychopath, she's just angry.
Me: "The Angry?" That's what she'd be called in her trailer, "the Angry?"
Friend: Well, she is. She's not angry at any one person, she's angry at the world.
Me: Yeah, but there has to be a word that describes a person who is angry. Like curmudgeon.
Friend: The curmudgeon?
Me: Well, no, but... you know... "Person who is angry."

I thought I was more eloquent with words than this.

IDK, that's a good question.  It's hard to sum her up in one word. 

'Crazy' would have covered it, but that's too vague.

^Nice.

[Collider]

Here are some suggestions:

Rebel

Misanthrope

Outcast



or maybe favorite

"Person who is angry"

Yep - that's actually probably the best.

The Uncanny.

teehee

[adriano_c]

Well, just based upon the reveal trailer.



"The B*tch"



Straightforward and basically encapsulating what I think Bioware was trying to project with the video...

[Collider]

Miranda seemed more like that to be honest, in her trailer.

Jack was more just aggression.

[EffectedByTheMasses]

If I remember right, then Miranda's name is The Loyalist. So if Jack were 'The Rebel', it would make sense... in my head anyways.

Although come to think of it, the loyalist is pretty lame.

I don't know what else to call her. We could call her The Prodigal - just as axl called Jack by her one of her mission. It fits. The trailer for Miranda though, didn't say anything about the genetic modifications IIRC.

This pic is grand...looks like she has biotic eye-shadow.

true.

IMO though, axl's 'The Convict' Idea sounds the best.

As for Miranda.... The Cheerleader.

Probably because that's what Bioware named Jack in her recruitment mission

The glowing inside the eyes and the mouth is a shader error. Apparently it was an issue that couldn't be fixed from the first game.

Jack is a boss

Trying to think of the least flattering way to describe every squadmate, to make it sound like Shepard truly recruited a band of misfits. Convict, savage, madman, assassin, mercenary, thief, terrorist, nemesis, monomaniacal... person who is angry. Wait, I have a thesaurus somewhere around here.

This might be a fun exercise in time-killing...

Garrus - The Tag Along

Zaeed - The Goon
Kasumi - The Fan Service, v2
