I’m Commander Shepard,
L to R: Mercy, Stellan and Truce
they/them pronouns only please
‼️ 🔥 ART BY @pyxchta 🔥‼️
stellan: talking a million miles a minute about water pumps, shiala, their turtle, zhu’s hope, shiala’s flowers, keeping sourdough starter alive through all these years, aquaculture (oysters in particular), shiala’s biceps, regenerative agriculture, their cousins tilly and scott, and also their wife, shiala…
mercy n truce, making eye contact over Stellan’s head, clearly both thinking the same thing: tiny
MERCY SHEPARD
earthborn / sole survivor / sentinel / renegon
romance: kasumi
likes: music, anything physical like dance and sports, racing cars. fresh fruit. a good heist. getting to know people
wears: usually issued pants and boots, simple sweatshirt. occasional leather jacket, rare suit. big fan of fuzzy socks they’d normally only wear a tank like this on on the ship, but as @acrylicsalts-inspo pointed out… the gun show 🙈
dies at the end
fun fact: even though anderson won mercy a plea deal (alliance enlistment rather than a prison sentence), hackett takes it a step farther and threatens kasumi’s safety for mercy’s compliance
fun fact: mercy and kasumi met on earth as teens n were very close. until just before mercy’s eighteenth birthday they did a lot of hits together. they reunite in me2, over a decade later, and fall in love. my brain is currently rotting over them right now,, we in the pits fam
au’s!! 🙈: crimelord, sports coach, white collar
STELLAN SHEPARD
colonist / war hero / engineer / paragon
romance: shiala
likes: kepesh yakshi, fixing things, aquatic plants, kayaking
wears: like a walking carhartt duluth catalogue, but also likes jeans and shiala’s old sports teams jackets that are big and comfy on them (like rn)
joined the alliance to be a science officer/part of the engineer corps, not to be a military commander
fun fact: stellan lost their arm in an accident w farming equipment at age ten—tinkers over their prosthetic with their cousins tilly and scott (ryder)
fun fact: gets soft and a lil chubby with retirement—farm strong, but also really well fed on fresh bread and jam and butter and honey wine and thick yogurt and hearty stews and fruit beers, grilled veggies and smoked cheeses…
TRUCE SHEPARD
spacer / ruthless / infiltrator / paragade
romance: EDI
likes: really really good oil pastels and colored pencils. making the impossible shot. getting to check out local galleries and museums
wears: very muted neutrals, the occasional pastel. even if they’re wearing something casual it’s a monochrome outfit, which makes them always look a little formal. at minimum, put together.
wanted to run away to become a portraitist. when they wake up in me2, truce discovers their parents sold and published all of their private sketchbooks
fun fact: clone of their dead older brother, john. he died in the first contact wars, in the middle of a meteoric rise
fun fact: their baby sister Ruth, is also a clone of their dead brother John. Born on Truce’s sixteenth birthday. Truce dotes upon her
THANK YOU AGAIN @pyxchta seriously yall go check out her work, go commission her, it was an amazing experience and my heart is still bursting at how damn well she translated my word salad into ART
