Okay I only know Aveline but if you've got multiple Shepard's then Milky Way, Constellation, Moon and Sun for all of 'em please!!!

[sorry for the delay, I suddenly realized I had not remade my other Shepard's yet and wanted screenshots for reference]

Milky Way - What is your Shepard’s full name? Do they have a nickname?

Aveline's full name is Aveline Louise Shepard. She doesn't really have any nicknames, except James is allowed to call her Lola

Jordyn's full name is Jordyn Ronaldo Shepard. He earned the nickname "Grim" from a soldier he used to serve with, long before he earned a ruthless reputation, and it just kind of stuck.

Mirabelle's full name is Kassidy Mirabelle Shepard, she prefers to go by her middle name. Sometimes people call her "Shriek" because sometimes when fighting intensely with her biotics she lets out, well, a shriek, battle cry, whatever you want to call it.

Constellation - Does your Shepard have a family? Are they alive?

Aveline was an only child, but grew up with her mom and dad. She is fairly close to her mother, but she was always much closer to her father. The game only ever mentions Hannah Shepard (her mother), which could mean Aveline's father died in service, but I think her parents are probably just divorced and maybe he retired and that's why we never hear about him.

Jordyn was raised by his family on Mindoir. He had a mother, father, and younger sister. He watched them all die during the attack and has never quite recovered from that. Later on, the Normandy crew became his family.

Mirabelle doesn't remember her family and doesn't know if they are alive or not, and she isn't entirely sure how she would feel if she ever met them.

Moon - Did your Shepard have any dreams as a child? (dream job, plans for future etc)

Aveline often daydreamed about being a spy or secret agent and loved those kinds of stories when she was younger, so I guess she kind of got her wish??

Jordyn never really thought about military service at all, he'd lived a peaceful life up until he was 16 and had an interest in pursuing a more scientific career to help sustain the farms. He loved working in nature.

Mirabelle didn't really have the luxury of dreaming, she had to focus on surviving as she grew up an orphan in one of the UNIN territories, which was a more impoverished region compared to the Alliance-aligned territories on Earth (based on what precious little info I could gather about this on the wiki).

Sun - Was there a person in your Shepard’s life that changed their view on life/the world?

For Aveline, it was Legion. Meeting them offered her a whole new perspective on the Geth and AIs in general and she even came to seem them as a friend. In the end, she chose synthesis because of this changed perspective (i know that the synthesis ending shows Shepard literally gt vaporized in a beam of light, but I choose to believe that she survives that somehow)

For Jordyn, it wasn't one singular person, but the crew of the Normandy. He had allowed his experiences to harden him and turn him from a kind young man into a brutal and ruthless soldier. But over the years, the crew of the Normandy became a family to him and with their support he slowly was able to heal his trauma. Though, to be fair, his relationship with Tali was a significant step in this process.

For Mirabelle, it was Captain Anderson. She often saw herself as "just another person" who wasn't very capable, even though that was far from the truth. David Anderson took a chance on her time and time again, and that meant a lot to her. Slowly she believed that she could do anything she set her mind to with his support.

#gah thank you for the asks! tbh I had kind of forgotten a lot about my other Shepard's and it is good to think of them again :) #and also #tumblr wtf did you do to the image quality?? these were so crisp and clear before uploading them I swear :( #answered asks #dancing-flamingo-pirates #mass effect #commander shepard #aveline shepard #jordyn shepard #mirabelle shepard #ruby's ocs
