Commander Shepard Moodboard

Thanks for the tag, @kogarashi-art! (x) This was a perfect opportunity to shine some of the OC spotlight on my Shepard(s)!

Rules: Find images for your OC based on the following prompts: Casual Outfit or Armor, Interest or Hobby, Animal, Object in Their Bag, Photo of Your Shepard, Favorite Weapon, Love Interest, Aesthetic, Favorite Food or Drink

Yapping, tags, and template below the cut! ⬇️

Alex Shepard

Earthborn | War Hero | Paragon | Soldier -> Vanguard

Outfit: N7 Leather Jacket - Look, leather jackets are cool! Alex wasted no time getting a sick N7 one 😎

Interest: Ships - This is her special interest. She loves to build model ships, yap about ships, watch ships fly in and out of the docks. She used to hang out by the loading docks a lot as a kid. She picked up a thing or two.

Animal: Wolverine - These guys punch way above their weight class in a fight. It suits my scrappy soldier/vanguard well.

Object: Vintage Mechanical Field Watch - A gift from Captain Anderson 🥹 Something-something running under your own power, making time count, and how it can take take a lickin' but keep on tickin' or whatever

Shepard: My beloved Alex! My first and canon Shep, and the Shepard I used in my insanity run of the series 💪

Weapon: M-96 Mattock Rifle - I think I liked this one for Alex... It's been a hot minute since I've played the game!

Love Interest: Liara T'soni - Liara has been on Alex's side in the fight every step of the way. What can I say? That's her girl!

Aesthetic: Nebula - IDK it just looks cool! It's star dust (well, a space cloud of dust and gas, but tomato-tomahto)

Favorite Food/Drink: Bourbon - Sharp, sweet, and packs a punch.

Dallas Shepard

Colonist | Ruthless | Renegon | Infiltrator

Outfit: Cowboy Boots & Jeans - You can take the boy out of the colony, but not the colony outta the boy.

Interest: Running - He's got a fair bit of nervous energy to burn off. Running helps. It's that or punching people, which is apparently frowned upon nowadays 🙄

Animal: Peregrine Falcon - The fastest animal on the planet (well, when they dive). Crazy precise targeting. A little distant. More fragile than they look.

Object: Aviator Sunglasses - Classic, no AR or any other tech. He likes to brag about this whenever he makes his shots unaided (it's not at all because he's jealous of Garrus' targeting-visor...mhmm...)

Shepard: My grumpy cowboy, Dallas! I made him to try out some different choices (because I"m attached to Alex's run) and he started to grow on me 🙂‍↕️

Weapon: M-98 Widow Rifle - It's a nice sniper rifle. He was very excited to get it. Probably the closest you'd see to a real smile on his face.

Love Interest: Tali Zorah - IDK I think Tali could get past Dallas' considerably high guard without him even realizing it. A friends-to-lovers type of thing.

Aesthetic: Heart Monitor - Snipers regulating their heart rate for the perfect shot. Dallas trying to keep an icy grip on his emotions that always feel too wild. His heart jumping without his say so when a certain Quarian stops by to chat...

Favorite Food/Drink: BBQ Ribs - The real stuff. None of that synthetic meat crap. Don't try and trick him - he'll know! 😤

Not sure how many of you play Mass Effect, so consider this an invitation to share your Shepard OR make a moodboard for one of your Dragon Age OCs instead! 💜

Notes:

It's been a year, guys. It's been one hell of a year. But I am still here! And I have more story! As always thanks to snarkeologist for beta reading this chapter! And a special thanks to @swaps55 for helping me figure out the parts that just didn't feel quite complete! Honestly, no guarantee on a posting schedule, but things in my life seem to be smoothing out a little (knock on wood), so with any luck, the next chapter will be posting soon!

Start at the beginning Read the latest chapter

Excerpt:

She peers over the gun mount, her hands guiding the bore cleaner with a precision that comes with years of practice, and watches Dr. T’soni and Shepard talk. They speak too quietly for Ashley to pick up on the content of their conversation, but Shepard points out some of the biotic amps that Crosby managed to score while they were on the Citadel. Dr. T’soni nods at whatever he’s saying. She has a sharp, almost hungry look in her eyes as she watches him with rapt attention. Like she’s examining one of her Prothean artifacts. Ashley doesn’t buy her apparent naivety. Shepard, on the other hand, seems more than happy to take her at her word. Ashley’s nose wrinkles, and she presses a button on the bore cleaner. There are too many security risks on the ship already, and Shepard’s smiling warmly at the latest like he’s known her his whole life. She sighs. It’s possible she’s overthinking it. Dr. T’soni might be exactly who she purports herself to be. Everyone else on the ship seems convinced, but the fact that she's the child of one of Saren’s most powerful allies is more than enough to make Ashley wary. Dr. T’soni touches Shepard’s forearm, laughing at whatever he said, and Ashley scowls at the familiarity. A throat clears beside her, and she looks down at Lieutenant Alenko still wiping sweat off his face from an afternoon run. He raises an eyebrow and slings his towel over a shoulder. “I think it’s clean, Chief.”

As of today my beloved friend C has been gone for two years. I'm starting to understand what people mean when they say that it will never get better, but it gets a little easier.

Anyways, found this old pic from 2021. I ended up streaming the entire Mass Effect series for C at some point, and she liked it so much she got the games when the remakes were released. I made her this picture the day she finished the third and last game. Say hello to our Shepards Ethan and Alex.

Figured that I might post this here instead of having it rot in one of my folders. It's a nice memory.
