Spacer Shepards enlist with the Alliance when they turn Colonist Shepard : A child born on one of the many human colonies, Mindoir. Colonist Shepards are saved by the Alliance and later enlist at the age of Sole Survivor : Shepard is the lone survivor of a Thresher Maw attack during their Alliance deployment.
Their entire unit is killed on Akuze. War Hero : Shepard single handedly saves a colony on Elysium from Batarian Slavers and is awarded the Star of Terra the highest Alliance honor available for their efforts. Ruthless : Shepard sends a large part of their unit to their death to achieve a victory.
Morality in ME1 is also linked to the Charm and Intimidate non-combat related skills. Paragon choices and options are often accompanied by compassionate and diplomatic dialog while Renegade choices are usually paired with a snarky or forceful dialog. Both sides of morality can help diffuse entire battles. There are minute differences in the game if the player decides to run Paragon or Renegade. The ending cutscene will also differ slightly. It is possible for players to float between a Paragon or Renegade Shepard and this type of Shepard can be called a Paragade or Renegon, depending on the balance of their morality.
Once the player makes their background and psychological profile choices, they will also choose their Military Specialization , or class. There are six classes to choose from. Three of the six classes feature biotic abilities. Biotics can either compliment weapons usage or be used in substitution for weapons if the player chooses. Three of the six classes feature tech abilities. Tech specialists use their abilities to help reduce enemy defenses through a variety of methods.
Soldier Class combat focused, no biotics, no tech. The process starts with the player either selecting a preset character or creating a custom character. When creating a custom character, the player can choose to play as a male or female Shepard. The names for the preset character models are either John Shepard for male, or Jane Shepard for the female, though only the first names may be customized and not the actual model.
The player then selects Shepard's pre-service history, by choosing Spacer, Earthborn, or Colonist. This choice affects how others talk about the main character and, in combination with the psychological profile, determines how many bonus Paragon and Renegade points the Commander has at the start of the game. Some assignments in the game are only available to those who selected a particular pre-service history.
Following a selection of pre-service history, the player must choose a psychological profile: Sole Survivor, War Hero, or Ruthless - each of which relates to a specific event in Alliance history and places Shepard in a prominent role. The player must then accept a military specialization, each of which determines what set of abilities, or talents, the player will have access to in combat.
The class choice will also affect weapon proficiency — if Shepard is not proficient with a weapon, the Commander can still fire it, but cannot zoom in with it, and many weapon bonuses are void.
This applies to all weapons except the pistol , which all classes are proficient in. The player's choice of class does not affect the story in any way; there is one minor variation in dialogue when speaking to Kaidan Alenko , which refers to any chosen biotic class or biotic bonus talents in Mass Effect, as well as a line of dialogue based on class selection with Liara T'Soni in Mass Effect 3.
A biotic class may also get an additional line when Samantha Traynor is talking about Grissom Academy , while the Engineer class will have an option to repair systems quickly during a situation on Omega. If the player is creating a second character, at this point any unlocked bonus talents may be selected. These talents are unlocked by gaining the achievement for each talent. The player can choose one additional talent to add to their skill base.
This talent is not reliant upon the existing class or prerequisite talents. For example, a pure Soldier can have a tech bonus talent, and an Engineer can be given Singularity. In the event that the Soldier class is not chosen, a second weapon specialization, such as the Assault Rifle for the Adept, may be chosen instead of another ability. The ultimate stage of customization, the player may alter their character's facial structure, head, eyes, jaw, mouth, nose, hair, scarring, make-up female only and beard male only.
Alternatively, the player may select the default appearance. Before the game begins, a profile summary is shown for review, and a chance to return to previous stages of customization and make changes is available. After the attack on the Citadel, the Alliance sent Shepard to root out any remaining geth resistance. The Normandy was sent into a sector where three ships were reported to have gone missing in the space of one month.
After four days of fruitlessly searching for signs of geth activity, the Normandy is attacked by an unidentified ship , ripping it apart. As the rest of the crew abandoned ship, Shepard went to rescue Joker , who refused the initial evacuation order believing he could still save the ship.
Unfortunately, a blast separated them just as Shepard managed to get Joker into an escape pod. The Commander's hardsuit was damaged by explosions and Shepard was flung into space, barely surviving the Normandy's destruction. However, the suit's pressure seals were compromised, and it is apparent that the Commander suffocated to death, coupled with the possibility of the hardsuit burning up on reentry to the planet below.
Due to his comprehensive knowledge of galactic events, the Shadow Broker sends Feron , a drell in his service, to obtain Shepard's body. At the same time, Liara T'Soni, who has been looking for Shepard since the attack, is recruited by Cerberus to recover the Commander's body.

Origin Due to the nature of the series, Commander Shepard can be either male or female named by the default settings as either "John" or "Jane" , and can have varying histories such as being Earth-born, a "Spacer" or Colony born.
History As aforementioned, Shepard's pre-service history can alternate greatly. Creation The character of Commander Shepard was created by Game Developers Bioware as the main protagonist and only playable character to their game Mass Effect, which was released in Mass Effect The first game released in the trilogy introduced the character of Shepard, then a decorated Commander regardless of the choices made by the player in the customization system.
Mass Effect 3 In Mass Effect 3, Shepard must unite the galaxy against the encroaching threat of the Reapers that culminates in a final battle on Earth. Shepard has four ways to end the war: Destroy the Reapers: In this ending, Shepard shoots a key control panel, causing a massive explosion. Many years into the future, Shepard has become a legendary figure known as "The Shepard". Quotes Shepard often ends conversations with "I should go". Gender Commander Shepard's gender could be either male or female, it was apparently not recorded by history.
Romance Like every other aspect of the character, Commander Shepard has a multitude of romance choices in each game. Appearance Shepard's appearance varies wildly, as is defined by the player and comes in millions of different variations. Player Customization There are many options that the player is able to choose concerning Commander Shepard's history and origins. He later commanded the Apollo 14 mission in and became the fifth person to walk on the Moon.
Shepard's birthday April 11 is the same day that Apollo 13 an American attempted manned moon landing mission that almost ended in disaster was launched April 11, In addition, the box-art for the Xbox and PlayStation 3 versions of Mass Effect 3 was reversible, featuring a male Shepard on one side and a female Shepard on the other. The default male face for Shepard is based on that of Dutch model Mark Vanderloo.
Shepard seems to speak with a hint of Canadian dialect. This may be because Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, the voices of the male and female Shepard, respectively, are Canadian.
When Shepard is inducted as a Spectre, according to Admiral Hackett, Shepard is, technically, still part of the Alliance military though Captain Anderson claims otherwise. Therefore, Shepard should still be referred to as a Commander, even though Shepard is outside of the Alliance military's chain of command and answers directly to the Council.
Military ranks can, in some situations, be deferred in favor of civilian ranks. Considering the nature and authority of Spectres, it is likely that this is considered to supersede any military rank. The default names of both the male and female Shepard are the names for an unidentified male John Doe and female Jane Doe respectively.
To keep the exact nature of Shepard's return quiet in Mass Effect 2, it is often stated that the Commander almost died, which is not really truthful.
The male Shepard would later joke with Jack that he is "technically undead". Renegade facial scarring in Mass Effect 2 is reminiscent of the effects of dark side corruption in BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as morally questionable actions adversely affect the protagonist's appearance in both games. BioWare held a contest prior to the release of Mass Effect 3 to allow fans to choose a new default face for female Commander Shepard.
