Description Comm Specialist Samantha Traynor

This was my “sanity painting” for lack of a better term while working to get my cosplay finished for Geek Girl Con/PAX Prime. I sew/glue/paint/etc. until I’m about to snap and then go back to this to zen out... now I have to start something else for between now and PAX I suppose.

I absolutely adore Traynor and she's hands down one of my favorite characters in the ME universe. My only "complaint" is that I wish she had gotten more screen time.

Sorry I've seen this piece and title and must go on a thought tangent:

Interior, Normandy SR-2, Port Observatory

KAIDAN, TRAYNOR, VEGA, and SHEPARD are seated at the poker table. Lights of FTL travel cascade across the window.

VEGA: Alright, the name of the game is Omaha.

TRAYNOR: I thought it was chess night.

SHEPARD: No!

KAIDAN: Wow Shepard, you got something against chess?

SHEPARD: Traynor, we can't play chess you'll just beat everyone.

KAIDAN: Just because she beat you once doesn't mean--

VEGA: Traynor beat Loco/Lola at chess?

SHEPARD: One time. Besides she's clearly pro.

TRAYNOR: I wish. I barely got into the Citadel Space Competitive League.

SHEPARD: You see. Besides, we don't even have enough chess boards.

(TRAYNOR lifts a chess board out from under the table.)

TRAYNOR: It's okay, I bought another one for tonight.

(SHEPARD groans.)

KAIDAN: Come on Shepard, it's just one game night.

VEGA: Yeah Commander, if Traynor wants to play chess then chess it is. Don't think I've ever seen you lose at anything before anyway.


Wait a second! That's a human-centric cast. Quiet! Kaiden and Vega are the only people we even see use that table.

Right where was I? Sorry, had to get that spontaneous fanfic out of my system.

I had two ME3 saves - one where Shepard stays loyal to Liara until the very end, and the other where Shepard is so depressed and desperate for some human contact by the middle of ME3 that she goes fuck it and shacks up with Traynor and they live happily - and snarkily - ever after.

I so agree with you, both about her being one of the best characters of ME-verse, *and* that it's a shame she was introduced so late so there's so little of her.
Love the facial expression -- she's beautiful here.

because everyone else is het, why not be fair to us lesbians? the universe doesn't have to revolve around the hets, after all you guys get Tali while we don't, you get jack and Miranda. so I'd not bitch too much that at the very least bioware at the very least gave a nod in our direction.

i ment no offence, i see you're point and it's nice to see that bioware did something for lesbians i'm not complaining that bioware made her a lesbian but i would like to see how Male- sheps game went if she wasn't, although it's fair to say for girls thinking the same about tali, jack and miranda... so i ment no offence

play a femShep and just find out how it goes or find it on youtube, Cortez is always free for the brosheps. I just thought for once it was wonderful to see 2 cannon gay characters that weren't bi,(though i liked Dragon Age 2 for that)

I am not bi or lesbian (I think), but I thought it kinda almost cheapened it that EVERYONE was bi in DA. I like the idea of having homosexual characters and het characters and bi characters because it represents real life better I think, where not everyone is just one way.

well Isabella is confirmed bi, she is after all a hedonist, gets her fun where she can. Anders should have stayed het, and for Ferris well he was a slave.... who knows what Danaris had him do and Merrill well her bi was well (mostly if you played a dalish in DA1 it seems she had more of a romantic connection to her especially the fair well scene)

Whoops, misread that as you asking what would happen during that scene if you tried to romance her anyway. I need coffee. ><

Basically M!Shep will begin to flirt with her, whereupon she rather awkwardly reminds Shepard of the fact that she found EDI's feminine voice attractive and admits that she prefers breasts.

They then joke about it, as Traynor managed to "break the great Commander Shepard's heart", and the game continues as normal.
