Hahahaha, well, if it's any consolation Ashira, your ME fan-fiction is part of a very select few I can actually read and thoroughly enjoy.

You've managed to encapsulate the very essence of the characters you include in your stories, and successfully molded them for your own purposes.

Thumbs up. It's a tough balancing act.

Indeed, I agree.  The triology of one shot's she wrote do an excellent job of bringing the two characters together in a very believable way.  And it is a tough balancing act to bring together two such strong characters.

Lady knows I'm still working out how to manage it in mine.

mmyeah, a critical essay would be good for fragile my self-esteem.

/sarcasm

But thanks for the offer, heh. I'll now leave to play ME2...yet again. Or maybe Sims. *leaves MM-Cookies*

Ps: Thank you LG/Kudara

Spread the love man!

Im trying to put together my Samara and Shepard adventures with Weed fanfic but im short on time too much, i might have it done by this week.

How do Asari decide who gets to be the mother/father again? Is that explained or is it just whoever calls dibs. So far the mother's we've seen are Benezia and Samara, and a father example was that bartender.

Its strange thinking that Samara was once a mother, I don't know why. She's sealed that part of her away.

I wonder if becoming a Justicar requires you to drop your last name since they have "forsworn" all family . Its amazing how much sacrifices you have to make. You have to completely change your persona to be up to the task. I guess its beneficial in that if you don't have liabilities then no one can hurt you that deeply. No doubt Justicars make many enemies, but if you give them too many ways to get to you then being a Justicar is no different than being a cop. Samara probably hasn't deeply cared for another individual in so long, hate to beat a dead horse but it partly explains her hesitation for having a relationship with someone like Shepard who has plenty enemies as well.

Good point, of course Shepard's enemies have a tendency to die violent deaths

I think Justicars have to "care" for everyone that is good.  They don't have time for relationships because they would get in the way of helping others.  They are akin to (embarassed to say this) Jedi in that manner.

In many ways the character of Ashley is actually similar to Samara, both are strongly written characters that people tend to either like or dislike. Both of them have pasts that have shaped the person that you get to meet in the game. Both of them have strong opinions and aren't afraid to let Shepard know about them.

It's what I love about both characters. They stand up to Shepard, remaining true to themselves. It's nice to see characters with backbone, characters that actually force Shepard to give up something in order to let the relationship evolve.

Unlike rabid fans, I accept all characters with both their qualities and their flaws. Poor Jacob may suck hard vaccuum as a date, but then many male friends of mine are just as bad... He's a much more pleasant buddy for a male Shepard than he is a LI for a female Shepard... But that's how he's written and female Shepards all over can now sympathize with Miranda (who apparently dumped "the priiize"...)

To my Shepard, Ashley did come accross as xenophobic and Shepard bugged her about it until he drew her history. She's distrustful and provincial, not having had much contact with aliens (being stationed on human colonies throughout her career). To my paragon Shepard, she was ripe for some education... Her quote is illustrative of her inexperience: "I can't tell the aliens from the animals" in a tone that, to me, sounded more like frustration at feeling out of her depth than a derogatory statement.

Strickly from a writer's perspective, wouldn't one want to make the characters in one's story as interesting as possible to captivate the reader?  Or is this unnecessary depending on the plot and theme?  In other words, regardless of your personal thoughts about a character, don't you still want to make them interesting to the reader from a writer's viewpoint?

Being a writer, I want to make my character's likable in their own ways; but I only give xenophobia or other "undesirable" traits to someone I wanted the reader to hate. I hate narrow-minded people, but I'll tolerate them if I have to. I never spoke to Ashley more than once, I was already dreading what she might say.

I won't bash others for liking her, but I don't personally like her.

That's alright Ash, that's the main reason for putting 12 possible squaddies in ME2: we're bound to like at least 2 well enough...  And it's only natural that a writer should feel more inspired by a character he/she likes than one for whom he/she feels no affinity. <offers a cookie and a cup of earl grey>

Looking forward to read the Ghost of Akuze.

A question, what does Samara say when you ask her about casual sex?



I never did that because im to high and nice to be that much of a ******.

[Redwood77]

Samarans! Samara is currently battling Jacob in the Tournament of Companions Poll. Go to my polls to vote for you favorite character

[7Makaveli]

She says she appreciates your persistence and if she were a maiden she would have dragged you to the floor right then. But it doesn't interest her now...





do you folks think an alternate appearance DLC for Samara is a distinct possibility? And what would your reaction be if they gave her shades...? I think I would call my lawyer.

[7Makaveli]

I think Samara can pull off a cape, how insane would that look 0__o



They seem to only know two ways to dress ladies. Either well covered (Liara, Tali) or very revealing (Jack, Miranda, Samara). I wouldn't mind Samara in something like Miranda's suit that emphasizes her shapely figure, only more full of mystical designs.

[kelmar6821]

a cape would look pretty cool. dunno how tactictally sound it would be though.

edit: and please no shades.
