Tell me 5 things about your fav OC and 5 things about your least talked about OC :3 (I hope the rest of your bus ride goes fast!)
Five things about Rani Shepard, who is my obvious current fave.
Ever since Elysium, Rani does not trust shore leave. She never goes on holiday unarmed. Getting attacked at the sushi bar on the Citadel was just not a surprise to her, it fit right in with her expectations of shore leave. She was just annoyed that she’d left her pistol on her bed because there was really no way of hiding it under her outfit.
Her favourite festival is Holi. She doesn’t recall much about her parents but she does remember them both taking her to the festival when she was around 3 years old. Her father was on one of his rare visits and he hoisted her onto his shoulders so she could see over the crowds and sit up amidst the coloured powders being flung around. She came down completely coated and grinning hugely.
Etched on the inside of the chest piece of her old N7 armour was a list of all the people she’d lost under her command, so she’d see the names every time she put her armour on and do better this time. Ashley Williams was the last name on the list before Alchera.
She’s ridiculously competitive. You challenge her and you are going DOWN. Relatedly, she’s also a really grumpy loser on those occasions when she does lose…
Rani has a really sweet tooth. People expect her to like bitter things and are then very surprised when she shares a favourite food only to find it’s really sweet and their tooth enamel may be disolving. She and Ash used to order the most ghastly sugary cocktails in bars while Kaidan watched in horror.
And I’m not sure who my least talked about OC is tbh. There’s a bunch I’ve just never developed very much. I guess I haven’t talked about Nina much yet, so-o five things about Nina Ryder!
She’s a compulsive messenger. She is the friend who will send you fifteen stream of conciousness messages at 4am. Also lots of “saw this, thought of you” photos. She keeps sending messages to her twin, Adrien, while he’s comatose. When he wakes up one of the first things she says to him, with deadly seriousness, is “Delete your inbox”.
She and her brother take turns dying their hair and reverting to their natural shade. They never have the same colour at the same time, except for that one summer when they were 14 and both totally fried their hair by alternating between “Hanar Pink” and their natural colour every few days to unsettle their dad (they honestly weren’t sure he’d even notice).
Nina is 5'4" tall. Adrien is a good half foot taller and calls her Short Stack. Or Little Shit, depending on their company.
Nina once tried to chat up Shepard in a Citadel bar while on shore leave. She does not remember this because immediately after realising who she’d been talking to she got blind drunk in order to erase the embarassment from her memory. Adrien remembers though, and is keeping the memory tucked away for the right moment.
She wears super hero underpants at all times. Knowing she has Wonder Woman emblazoned across her crotch gives her great confidence.
Thank you for the ask, I may have waffled a bit! I still have a couple of hours to go :|
