There is no consensus on his ethnicity other than "sexy."
This is why i tend to stay away from any romancable squadmate support threads
It's a joke, dude. Because honestly, we have no clue. All we know is, he's actually possibly Canadian because his parents retired to Vancouver. What his genetic ethnicity is, is unkown. We've posited everything from part Lebanese, to part Japanese, to part Brazilian and/or Continental Spanish. Or all of the above.
I read in some part of the wikia while trying to look something different up that a lot of humans are a heavily Indian and northern european mix. But that fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes are rare traits in that time period.
So actually, a lot of our fair Shepards would seem much more exotic to them, whereas I think Kaidan's genetic blend seems rather exotic to us.
Ariaya: We understand. ME2 is hard on Kaidan and Ash fans. Horizon is hurtful by design.
I know that I fluctuate at various times between angy at Kaidan for turning his back but more often angry at Shepard for not being more open with the guy or trying harder. "Been a long time. How'vya been" isn't the way that I would particularly open my conversation with him--especially after he gives that lovely intro of you to that colonist jerk. With Shepard's cold reception of him, you can just watch in the animation Kaidan's growing anger and hurt which leads to a lot of what he says and does.
Like the other ladies said, the resurrection thing is a hard pill to swallow. For us, the game is fiction and we're used to seeing that plot device. But to the characters, its real life to them. And its a pretty lame cover story probably in his mind. The poor guy has been mourning her for
two years. He's only now starting (and probably rather pathetically at that) to try to move on with his personal life. Then he's confronted with the woman that he gave his heart to. He finds out that she's working for a terrorist organization that he's spent a lot of time fighting. The idea that she's
always been with them--that she spied on the Alliance and that she flat out used him would be a more logical conclusion than the story that someone paid 4 billion dollars to bring her back from the dead. And that conclusion that perhaps she never felt anything for him after he's loved her so faithfully even after her death had to hurt like hell.
I think that Kaidan's message is beautifully written. Its just so...raw. And you read the words but, at least to me, you can practically read his emotional state and thoughts behind those words. He loves her. He wants to believe her. But he doesn't know what to believe about anything anymore. He says that that night before Ilos meant
everything to him. That "everything" chokes me up every time. But was it real for her or just part of her game?
Is the message something that Kaidan carefully thought out? No. And that's why is seems to warble a bit. But he's being as honest and open as I think he's capable of being at that moment. And its just so
Kaidan. Even at the end where he takes a half-step back so that he can try to give her the lead and know where to go from there.
I love that message. Its a highlight of the game for me. My first character likely would have fallen into Garrus's arms out of friendship and looking for comfort if not for that message. It gave her the one little ray of hope in the game. Because of him even sending the message and definitely from what she reads in it, my character is confident that they can work things out and it gives her incentive to fight all the harder to make the right decisions and to make it through to get back to him.
Anyways, my take on it. A link to what my Kimbri would have written in response is in my sig.
