it will always boggle my mind just how many people use the default sheps like i dont think ive ever seen a game with a character creator have the character creation aspect ignored so widely ESPECIALLY in a bioware game like everyone saw default shepard and was like "yeah i like that" for some reason unbeknownst to me

Danica Shepard, Earthborn Sole Survivor Adept

So because I’m me and have no chill I’m replaying Mass Effect already XD I went in mostly blind before, and while there’s nothing major I think I want to change I do want to tweak a few things for my canon playthrough. I was still figuring out my Shep for a lot of it, but have a handle on her now I think.

I just hope she fares better than my old Shep, looked great in 1, mostly bored in 2 and spent majority of 3 with her eyes closed since the eye options were already quite narrow and she was frowning all the time. I do want to do a broshep run to romance Tali, but gosh is it hard making him attractive. For some reason the nose size is tied to the facial structure, and all but the wide beefy face seem to have comically large noses. I’ll have another play around when I’m ready to play him I guess.

Happy Belated Birthday to Akira and Jana Shepard!

And last but not least, a couple of familiar faces from last year: @vlwv's Akira Shepard and @squigglysquidd's Jana Shepard!

Happy [Belated] Birthday to all Sheps! We'll be seeing you again soon, and we couldn't be more excited about it!!

So... recently I read a lot of @swaps55 mShenko fics(most of them) and I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH(ma heart ma soul)! Aaaand they made me feel so inspired! Also, cause of her stories I fell in love with my Shep even more. To a point where I want to write happily ever after mShenko fics, buuuut.... Since English isn’t my first language I feel very uncomfortable with writing on it. In over hand my native language mass effect fan base is... well... dead. With that being said, I’m still very inspired and wanna create something. As a compromise I decided to draw more mass effect related stuff and write this little, em, things about my Shep.

So... here it is :””3

His name is John Shepard (wow! How original👁👄👁) and he is an engineer. Hardcore one. Really into all that tech stuff(he was all over the place when Tali join in). Once he secretly “improve” coffee machine on SSV “Tokyo”. It was nice and all, until it starts to bully lieutenants who wanted decaf. After that the machine mysteriously disappeared.John is a ruthless spacer. He lost his twin-sister Jane and father at Mindoir, there they went to see grandparents. That and Skillian Blitz will lead him into being so ruthless on Torfan. 

Normandy’s SR-1 crew at first thought of him like as some kind of weirdo or, if they were brave enough, aggressive hamster. They respected him as commander, but don’t make any attempts in friendlier interaction. Until one morning after Noveria he came at breakfast, all sleepy and tired, take awful pink mug with sparky “lil princess” (Jane’s gift on their 15th birthday) on it and start scolding on the coffee machine. Something about “If you do it again I swear I’ll throw you in the airlock!”. Simple as that Butcher of Torfan, First human Spectre, dreadful commander Shepard became... John, regular human, who HATE jokes about his height and decaf. Since all of their childhood Jane was joking around his height(167 cm), because he was always tinier than her(174 m). So…yeah… No jokes about height, pals! It really not that big of a deal))))

One of John’s biggest secret from friends is… He took drama classes! As kids parents told them to choose extra classes. Since Jane was better at every physical related disciplines and him not wanting to always be “the one that a bit worse”, John decided to take tech and drama classes. From drama class he learned to earn control of his emotions, improved oratory skills and also learned to sing. He may not be the greatest dancer in the galaxy, but he not in the slightest a bad singer. He is quite good, though, he’ll never ever acknowledge it. Unless someone gets him too drunk to even think. 

The one thing John never would have expected from himself is fell in love with his under subordinate. Especially with perfect to a T biotic lieutenant. And still here he is. Hopelessly in love. Horizon was tough. There, with painful clearness, John realize, he can’t bring Kaiden with him. They most likely won’t return from this mission. He just can’t let his Kaiden die in God knows there with Collectors as the cherry on top. So he let him go, praying from the bottom of his heart for his biotic. For him to be capable to forget and move forward. For him to find someone who will love him as strong as John do. For him to be happy. So, John says his goodbye and go away walking as firm and sturdy as good soldier should. Feeling as his soul fell apart with each step. But it doesn’t matter. He has mission to complete and that’s all that should matter, right? After all, he is Butcher of Torfan. He almost got alcohol poisoning that night.

 John can’t be happier than the day they managed to overcome it.  Just sitting together in his cabin, warm and cozy, was enough for John to be on cloud nine. Even if Kaiden complaining about his adorable coffee machine spitting coffee on people. Also, Kaiden unlock the secret power. Power that help him deal with Shepard whenever he especially stubborn not wanting to sleep or relax a bit. That power is… French. Kaiden only need to start whispering in John’s ear, and he is completely done, melting from the sound of it. Though, major use this only if there is no over option or in private of captain’s cabin. 

So, that’s it for now :”3 I already feel quite intimidate by all this x”””) Used hair mod for ma Shep in me3 ❤️💙

Just a screenshot from when finishing LE2 last night. Now off to LE3 and the Thane Lives mod!!

After watching various animations in LE2 with Jack, Miranda, and Jacob, I have some ideas on what to mod in the future.

Since my canon is that Evie and Eli are twins, where one died on Mindoir (when playing as Evie, it was Eli who died and vice versa) I want to try my hands on modding dialogue and conversations. Instead of saying that Shepard lost their parents, it will say that they lost their family, or their parents and brother/sister. The guides I will try to follow are: Editing LE1 Audio | How to add new audio to LE1 conversations | Overview of the Dialogue Editor | Redirecting, Replacing and Adding Audio to Conversations | Renaming a Wwisebank for re‐use in dialogue modding | Authoring new audio with Wwise

Add a scene after either Normandy Crash site or Arrival with the love interest, not sure which one yet. If I choose Crash site, it'll be in the cabin, while Arrival will be in the med bay after Hackett has left.

Add scenes in Life Support after getting in a relationship with Thane, based on animations from Jack, Jacob and Miranda.

Option to bring Garrus and/or Tali to the Normandy Crash site. Going to use these guides for help: Sequence Editing Examples | Camera Modding | The Basics of Poses and Gestures

Maybe make cutscenes for "conversations" with Kasumi and Zaeed

Alternate cutscenes for conversations with Thane (or any loveinterest if I don't find it too difficult)

Make the team in LE2 be around the ship between missions instead of stuck in their various rooms, like in LE3 and Andromeda.

Let's see how well I succeed in my experiments, haha!!!

Happy N7 day! Here's all 3 of my custom Sheps in ME1 🥰

[flame2ashes]

FemShep vs. BroShep mod update allowing custom characters is coming out tomorrow

[omegastation]

I am so glad they are finally using gender neutral Shepard for the poster. It always bugged me how they chose to use default broshep to promote a game where customizing your own character is such a huge part of the appeal. Sure, he looks cool, and I get why Shepard needs to be on the poster, but it always felt kinda odd to see him on the discs after playing 200+ hours as someone totally different.

On that note, I can’t wait to see what new character creator is going to be like. It’s surprisingly hard to get something nice out of the old one.

Yeah. Marketing sucked. FShep was robbed for years. I’m glad they went with gender neutral and hope they will do this for all Legendary promotions.

And the CC has to be better than the old one!!!!

(On the other hand, nothing to do with you but it reminds me: I’ve seen a lot of “fandom has decided fshep is the canon version” and “why would you play mshep? he sucks” posts lately. 

Year after year we have those conversations and I always want to remind people, there are reasons some people play MShep, you know? Sometimes you really can’t play or identify with a female character and I don’t think it’s okay to be told your character isn’t canon for that reason. 

Shepard is whoever you want them to be and everyone (cis and trans fans) has a place in the fandom.)
