According to the books, the human species has interbred so much that race and ethnicity are pretty much completely mixed for everyone. Blonde or red hair is very rare, as is alabaster skin.

Oh, same here. Him and Ashley.
I kinda kinda saw them as a good match.(Please dont kill me!)
Although he is a rational calm guy, meanwhile she is a xenophobe with a short temper.
Agreed, again.I'm all for complementary partners in a relationship. So at least we'll both die together, or rot in the same jail cell.
I think Bioware was planning on having them paired off in ME1, if Shepard didn't romance either one. (They discarded the idea after they ran out of time.) There were actually developer posts commenting on that, but it'd take while for me to fish them out from the old Bioware forums.

Kaidan's ethnicity is an interesting puzzle.
He's got a Japanese first name. His last name is eastern European-ish. He's got very coarse, wavy hair and it is a pure black (Mediterranean?). His eyes very slightly almond-shaped. But his jawline and clefted chin are very 'white' features.
So, he's quite the mix. One thing I'd like to point out is that I don't think he's half asian, as those genes tend to be very dominant (look at the Gosselin kids). It's my assumption that he's maybe 1/4 or 1/8.
But, if we knew who his face model was, then the problem could be partially solved. Then the poor man would have to move far, far away from society for protection.
The European fashion industry likes importing male models from SA due to their strong, well-defined bone structure. Modifié par Nyx.Aeterna, 16 mars 2010 - 11:09 .

I always though Kaidan had some hispanic in him...and Ash too...

His jawline and chin is actually common in South America.
Exhibit 1 (One male subject from Brazil): http://img520.images...9710/tt4to6.jpg
And I think his eyes are little more related to the South Eastern Asian countries like the Philippines.

Hello, Exhibit 1
I see what you're saying. The jawline/chin could be of a South American descent. But, it's also a jawline you see on white dudes too
Kaidan's a rainbow of races... a yummy, yummy rainbow

I have to agree with your analysis. I know too many Hispanic/Latino men and Kaidan looks nothing like them. While he could have SOME Hispanic/Latino in his background, it's not dominant.

I have only seen similar features in Scandinavian countries, and parts of Eastern Europe. (The Anglo-Saxon face is a considerably softer around the jawline and cheekbones.)

That would depend on where you are. The Hispanic culture is a fairly large one, and there's a great deal of diversity running around. Judging by where I live (a place right next to Mexico), he wouldn't be too far from the average Latino man you'd meet.fortunesque wrote...

Does anyone know if the free version of Fraps records video? And if so, does anyone know a decent free video editing software? Because in that case I just may try my hand at a Shenko vid when I go back to play ME1 with my colonist/war hero Shep.
Free Fraps does record videos but the free version leaves a watermark thing in all the videos and pictures; wegame doesn't, at least that I can tell.

I just downloaded WEGAME to record my version of the locker scene and the pre-ilos scene, myself; i'll probably start a new playthrough on this character and record all the major kaidan conversations paragon-ly. So far, I like it, but I also have nothing to compare it to.

I live in Houston.
I sometimes migrate from Sol-Cal back to Nor-Cal, though the trends remain the same (and the 'George Lopez' look is one of the many distinctive Latino features). I've never been to Houston outside of the airport, so I'm curious to observe the differences they have there.

That I don't know. Someone (can't remember who) was asking the same thing earlier, don't know if she got an answer either. Good luck on the fic! Mine's... got me stuck as well. =|Joisan wrote...
Thanks, Bri. And would you happen to know of any good video editing software?
*Goes back to working on her fic* If I can just get past this slow spot here...
