I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite game on Dreamwidth

Carolyn here, bringing in that other Bioware malleable protag. Shepard here is from the timeskip between Mass Effect 2 and 3, and she's like 95% Paragon except for how sometimes you have to head-butt a krogan to shut him up u feel me? For the canon-blind, that means she's an honorable soldier and compassionate human being but sometimes she shoots a villain while he's monologuing, because fuck that guy. Her powers are biotics (basically telekinesis) and enhanced physique, but she didn't come in with any of her high-tech toys and she's sad about that.

Canon puncture is fine, but nobody spoiler her for 3, please.

Also: Gods Among Us is absolutely her kind of mission...so of course I'm sending her on To Have and To Hold.

What are her opinions on punching annoying reporters? The people need to know!

[thebioticwoman]

She prefers to calmly make them look like idiots on their own show.

[4starsaviour]

Yeah, that's definitely satisfying.

I'm Mega, and I play Goku from Dragon Ball here. Looking forward to seeing Shepard in the Legion - I've always wondered how you could play a character like that!

Shepard's in it 2 win it and punching reporters is bad optics. (My personal Shepard Opinion is that Renegade is a tactical thinker and Paragon is a strategic one.)

It's a little easier with Shepard or Hawke than with the Warden or the Inquisitor, because they have a distinct voice and you can follow a defined personality by going mostly Paragon or Renegade (or picking one of Red/Purple/Blue for Hawke.) The others are all over the place.

I also just enjoy trying to tease out a consistent character from Bioware's ???? dialog and narrative choices, because I guess I like pain.
