Description Second installment of the Shepard Files. The background option I'm doing is sole survivor. Since bioware provides an idea of what happens, I worked on filling in the gaps but still taking some creative license.

So sad and evocative. I played as Earthborn/Sole Survivor, and you've captured the sorrow and the loss that Shepard feels after Akuze.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, Sole Survivor is such a tragic background, but it is also the one that gives Shepard the most character and strength!

I also went with Earthborn/Sole Survivor and that backstory is essentially what drove my Paragon Shepard's decisions. His mindset: "So no one will have to experience my pain./So no one else will die because of me." Also why he sacrificed himself to bring about synthesis.

Mindoir is her first brush with losing everyone and everything though as the years went by she sees it would not be her last.

She in another reality is a military brat going from ship to station to ship as with her parents' interstellar transfers.

She in a third universe went a street gang orphan to a space faring officer to a human Spectre and much more.

Survivor. War Hero. Ruthless. Shepard is one with many faces, multiple histories, and yet no one knows the whole story.

If someone ever wrote biographies about Shepard - they would vary across all the variations possible for Shepard.

Exactly, which is why writing fanfics for it becomes so interesting. The possibilities are endless

Anderson says as much during his biographical interview about Shepard - it is one of several recording pads scattered throughout the apartment Shepard gets from him during the events of the Citadel DLC

It is one part bringing as much as the 'band' back together for a party and one part some crazy conspiracy plus individual squad moments.

You get to see all your teammates thrown in together plus Joker, Samantha, and Cortez.

Some new weapons too though that's kind of a given and an excuse to dress up.

It is split into two downloads - one you pay for and the other you get for free. Given all the Team Shepard conversations we have had I think you'll love the experience and Shepard gets Anderson's old Citadel apartment in the bargain.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this second piece. I'm thinking of having one more chapter for each Shepard, just adding a little more. Like, for instance, in this Shep's case, I want to write about how she felt about destroying the Batarian's homeworld. Still working on that
