CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Makani Shepherd
CANON: Mass Effect
AGE: 32
CANON POINT: After the end of ME3.

BACKGROUND: Wiki. As there are multiple ways you can customize Shepard, here are her customization choices: playthrough.

INCENTIVE/FIT: Shepard has had to make a lot of hard choices over her years as in the Alliance. She is burdened with a significant amount of survivor’s guilt for all the people she has outlived, though perhaps none have hit her quite as hard as the death of Ashley Williams. While other people have died under her command, Ashley died because Shepard could have saved her – but chose to save another crew member, Kaiden Alenko instead

The chance to give Ashley her life back is something Shepard feels she owes her, and some time in Eudio seems like too little a price to pay.

Shepard is not what one would ordinarily call cuddly, but she has no qualms about sexual relationships. She is a physical person in many ways, and has had past relationships, both casual and serious.

SAMPLES:
Tiniest Sample

Being Recruited Sample
The world goes red. Shepard hears an explosion (strange, it sounds like it came from far above her; shouldn’t she be in the middle of it?), one that shakes every bone in her body. She inhales sharply – and then everything goes dark and quiet.

When she wakes again, it is to the soft sounds of hospital equipment. She buries the initial panic that comes with the associations, slowly testing each limb to see how far it will move when requested. It is not near as far as she was hoping.

The fact someone else is in the room with her comes as a startling afterthought. She tries to focus her eyes on them, the tiny mechanics in them straining to provide her with a decent image. The man noticed her looking at him and gave her a smile. Strange, he did not look to be dressed like a doctor.

“Good afternoon,” he told began, giving her a welcome sense of time. “I have a proposition for you.”

“If you are a politician,” Shepard said, her voice rough and grating even to her own ears, “I am going to knee-cap you.” It was a hollow threat, considering her condition, but she consoled herself that she would at least think about it really hard.

The man chuckled, shaking his head. “No. I am from a City called Eudio.” He started to explain, detailing a strange city that ran on physical affection. Trying to figure out the science of how that worked hurt Shepard’s head, but then again, breathing hurt her head. “…we can provide you healing,” the man concluded, “as well as a reward of your choice.”

“What sort of reward?” She had credits, she had won the war, and she had no doubt she would heal fine on her own. What could this man offer her?

“You have experienced a lot of death,” the man said, causing Shepard to snort.

“No shit.”

“We could give someone their life back.” For a moment, Shepard’s mind stopped, screaming about the impossibility of that offer. And then she remembered she had been dead herself, dead for months, and Cerberus had brought her back. Who was to say that these people could not do the exact same thing for someone else?

The weight of names that come to mind nearly crushed her. There are so many who died, so many who deserved their lives, who met the specter of death too soon. It takes her many minutes before she can respond, before she can even settle on one name.

It is the obvious choice, however, in the end. It is the one death that was, above all the others, Shepard’s choice.

“I want you to bring back Ashley,” Shepard said. The man smiled, patting her shoulder.
“Of course. Go back to sleep.”

When Shepard woke up again, it was in the City of Eudio.

ANYTHING ELSE?
Shepard is a biotic, which gives her the ability to create mass effect fields (which is totally science. Not magic. REALLY). As a Vanguard, she has been trained in using them offensively, through means such as picking people up with them or causing a shockwave to knock her enemies back.
