Introducing a new OC... and just in time for N7 day!

[Created using Picrew - will update post when I find the link]

Lieutenant Esper Simmons is the former pilot of the SSV Senegal, the vessel that Lt. Kaidan Alenko and Pvt. Heather Bartley served on before Alenko's promotion to the SSV Normandy (SR-1).

Before their assignment as the SSV Senegal's pilot, Simmons served the Alliance as an engineer, mainly working below deck and towards the ship's engine. They moved from ship to ship, never really staying aboard the same vessel for more than a few years.

At age 27, Simmons had plans to retire from their military career, and returned to their apartment on the Citadel for a while.

With an education in piloting, however, the lieutenant was called upon by the Alliance once more, and was offered a position as the pilot of the SSV Senegal. They couldn't refuse, and accepted the offer without hesitation.

After the destruction of the vessel, Simmons was declared MIA until their recent appearance in the Citadel Embassies, where they were found passing along classified intel to Admiral Steven Hackett.

And once again, happy N7Day!

[swaps55]

This is it. This video is everything Mass Effect means to me. I’ll damn near cry every time I watch it, because this story, these characters, have been with me every day of my life for the past six years. They’ve touched me in ways no other fiction, of any medium, has ever done. It’s not even close.

Remember your first trip through the relay? That first time the Citadel opened? The moment you realized Sovereign was a goddamned reaper? Almost losing Wrex. Having to choose on Virmire.Vigil. Walking up the elevator shaft of a shattered Citadel. That shit eating grin when Shepard emerges from the wreckage.

The breathtaking destruction of the Normandy. Shepard’s helpless tumble through space. When the helmet comes off Archangel and it’s Garrus, and you wanted to cry because you were so happy to see a familiar face.

Kaidan or Ashley walking away on Horizon. The collectors are fucking protheans, what the holy fuck? Tali weeping in your arms. Befriending a geth. Mordin sings. Joker plugging in the overlord. Taking the plunge through the Omega 4 and finding holy shit what the fuck on the other side. Coming home from the suicide mission with no one left behind. Or losing someone you cared about.

Liara is the Shadow Broker. Holy hell.

Spotting Kaidan or Ashley on Earth. I used to. The first reaper horns. Leaving Earth in a cloud of ash. Almost losing a friend on Mars, in some cases a lover. Hearing Garrus’ voice on Menae, how relieved you were he was alive. Grunt. Oh, Grunt, when we thought we lost you, that rush of excitement when you stumbled back home.

Tuchanka. Where I wept like I’d lost a dear friend. Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong.

Thane, that moment when you thought he’d won…and then that cruel, perfect slip of the blade. Guide this one, kalahira. Punching Han’Gerrel in his flipping gut. Facing down a reaper. On FOOT, you badass. Does this unit have a soul? Losing. To that little shit Kai Leng. Summoning the fleets to Earth, watching them pour out of the relay, standing strong, standing together. Because of Shepard.

Saying goodbye to the ones you love. Go out there, and give them hell. You were born to do this.

I’m proud of you.

The heartbreak. The outrage. Holding the line.

…Citadel. Your friends standing by your side. Laughing. Fighting. For you. WINDING UP ON SET WITH BLASTO. A tattoo. A tango. A shuttle ride. A song. The food of my people. The party. Hanars and sweaters. 

A great ride.

The best.

This game is so much more than a game. It’s brought me joy. Laughter. Tears. Friends. Gets me way too excited about a letter and a number.

Happy N7 Day.

Name a song that describes him:

Guns 'N' Roses - November Rain

Artist(s)/genres he would listen to:

Guns 'N' Roses

QUEEN

Pink Floyd

Language(s) spoken (or would have learned) other than mother-tongue:

French, due to being born and raised in Vancouver, Canada.

Things that make him go weak at the knees:

Forging genuine connections on a personal level; when an individual is able to trust him without taking him for granted, thus solidifying their bond.

Most obscure thing he hates:

Cold showers

Childhood experience that defines an aspect of his life:

Vyrnnus' death on Jump Zero.

Assign him a smell:

Fresh earth.

[rooksrocks05]

Getting to Know Each Character (Current WIP)

Commander J. Shepard

Name a song that describes him:

Dream Theatre - Burning My Soul

Artist(s)/genres he would listen to:

Doesn't really listen to music, but has a soft spot for anything his mother/love interest listens to, as it reminds him of them.

Language(s) spoken (or would have learned) besides mother-tongue:

Bits and pieces of salarian dialect due to time spent surviving ruthless training exercises and missions gone awry.

Thing that makes him go weak at the knees:

When someone stands up and treats him as an equal: no malice, no trying to 'fix' him; just taking the time to gradually thaw him out, at Shepard's own pace.

Most obscure thing he hates:

Strong scents/flavours, certain textures.

Childhood experience that defines an aspect of his life:

Father was a well-respected Major in the Alliance military, and Shepard always lived in his shadow with the expectation that he would grow up to become the new Major Shepard. Despite Shepard's admiration for his father's work (love/hate relationship with the man, himself), his father was ruthless and abusive. He was declared MIA around Shepard's fifteenth birthday, and is one of the main influences of Shepard's harsh command [Renegade].

Assign him a smell:

Smoke

[rooksrocks05]

Commander J. Shepard (Current WIP)

Pre-Service History

Both of his parents were in the Alliance military, and Shepard's childhood was spent on ships and stations as they transferred from posting to posting, never staying in one location for more than a few years. Following in his parents' footsteps, he enlisted at the age of eighteen.

Psychological Profile

During Shepard's service, a mission he was on went horribly wrong; trapped in an extreme survival situation, the commander had to overcome physical torments and psychological stresses that would have broken most people. Shepard survived while all those aroung him fell - and now he alone is left to tell the tale.

Military Specialisation

Adept - adepts are biotic specialists. Through upgradeable implants, they are able to lift and throw objects, shield the squad, and disable (or destroy) enemies. Adepts can only use light armour, and can only receive weapons training with pistols. Bonus talent: Decryption.

IT’S  ALL  ABOUT  THE  YEARNING 

❝  you need someone.  let me be that person.  let me be what you need.  ❞

❝  look,  i dunno if i’m the kind of person you need or even want right now.  but i’m looking around and i’m the only one who’s here.  ❞

❝  i never realized how much i needed you until you were the one person who wasn’t there.  ❞

❝  you asked me once,  if i would ever take a chance on us…maybe that ship sailed.  but.  ask me again?  sometime— doesn’t have to be today.  maybe tomorrow just.  ask me again.  ❞

❝  i know i can’t protect you from everything,  but i wish you’d let me protect you from the things i can control.  ❞

❝  i used to have so much faith.  maybe not in deities or something but,  in the world.  the universe.  i believed their was a purpose to it all.  i’m not sure when i lost that.  ❞

❝  have you ever had something…missing?  like something just doesn’t feel right inside you but you don’t know what it is.  ❞

❝  sometimes,  i just need the world to be beautiful.  i know how dark and ugly it can be but i just want to see something good and focus only on it for a few minutes.  ❞

❝  i was sort’ve hoping you needed me.  is that selfish?  ❞

❝  people need someone to see them for what they are and not just see it but accept it.  i want to be that person for anyone i can…but it can be so suffocating to be that person and also remain unseen.  ❞

❝  sometimes i feel i’m being crushed under the weight of everything i’ll never be.  ❞

❝  you’re looking at me but you’re not seeing me.  do you know how that feels?  just see me.  please.  ❞

❝  i want to deserve you.  i’m trying to deserve you.  ❞

❝  i know i fucked up.  i know i did but don’t shut me out anymore.  let me in.  please let in.  ❞

❝  every time you smile at me,  i memorize it.  i remember each moment that i get to be the one to bring out that light inside you.  no matter what happens between us,  that’s what i’ll remember.   ❞

❝  i can’t help but think there’s got to be something out there for me,  somewhere.  just some place where i actually feel like i belong.  ❞ 

❝  the world is so big.  why do i never feel like i fit into it?  ❞

❝  when i’m with you i feel like myself.  i feel like every side of me is present and accepted.  and i feel good about it—  i feel good about who i am when i’m with you.  ❞

❝  do you like me?  i know you love me.  i know you care about me but.  do you like who i am?  ❞

❝  i want to look in the mirror one day and not feel uncomfortable with my own reflection.  ❞

❝  just take my hand and close your eyes.  pretend we’re anywhere else but here.  ❞

❝  so,  what would you be?  if you had to power to change all the things making you unhappy,  what would your life look like?  ❞

❝  do you even know what it does to me?  every time i see you cry,  any time you’re hurt even the smallest bit it just— do you realize how deeply you’ve imbedded yourself into my heart?  ❞

❝  i don’t feel like a whole person without you anymore.  i don’t fucking care if anyone else would say about that.  you’re part of who i am now.  the most important piece of me.  ❞

❝  every time you walk away you take another piece of me with you.  ❞

❝  i’m only really living in the moments when we’re together.  the rest is just existing until you look at me again.  ❞

❝  it feels like there’s a string around my heart and it’s connected to you.  everywhere you go you’re just tugging me behind,  pulling me towards you.  ❞

❝  you’ve got me in the palm of your hands.  you could crush me and i would still thank you for touching me at all.  ❞

❝  i no longer know where i end and you begin.  you’ve wound yourself around my soul so tightly,  you’re all i feel anymore.  ❞

❝  you’ve stolen my heart,  the least you could do is tell me what you intend to do with it.  ❞

❝  i don’t have perfect words.  i’m not the kind of person who knows how to sound poetic and shit.  so all i know what to tell you is that i belong to you.  i don’t know if you want me.  but i’m yours.  and at this point however it is you need me,  i’m here.  ❞

❝  you’re the only thing that matters anymore.  i can’t eat,  i can’t sleep—  all the goddamn cliches from every stupid movie and song.  you’re all i think about.  i’m useless except when i’m yours.  ❞

❝  i haven’t stopped thinking about the way you laugh.  i’m hoping i’ll get to hear it again.  ❞

❝  when your eyes are on me,  i feel like something worth seeing.  ❞

❝  just let me look at you for a little bit.  ❞

❝  i would do anything for you.  all my lines and rules.  they mean nothing when it comes to you.  it’d cross and break them all just to make you happy.  ❞
