Shepard has a family? Always shocking because I’ve only ever seen Hannah and she and Shepard never seemed all that close.
ah, that’s just me fiddling with my own Shepard’s canon! Cade’s Earthborn, and I h/c that he grew up in a close family unlike the Earthborn profile says.
He has both parents (Thomas and Aran) and two little siblings (Lachlan and Arianwen). It’s a pretty standard upbringing as far as things go, but he went off the rails in his teens and never really straightened up his act after that (gangs, drugs, crime rings... the whole Earthborn shebang.) It definitely caused a bit of a divide between him and his siblings, and his initial start in the military was thanks to his parents and their roles in the Alliance -- they both died in service, fighting on Elysium, and that turned into a massive motivator for Cade to do better, to be better, and somehow make them proud ‘cause he couldn’t when they were around to see it.
He’s working on his relationship with his siblings, though. Especially with Lachlan.
