Description 18. Motherhood
The first sketch I had in mind for this title involved Tales of Symphonia, Oh how our minds will wander if left alone. XD

This is Liara T’soni from the Xbox 360 game Mass Effect. Anyone who has played the game will know that Liara is of an alien species called the asari, which is why she’s blue, and has the tentacle-things instead of hair.

I pick Liara on every playthough with my main Shepard, yes, I’m femShep/Liara fan, she’s so much more interesting than Kaidan. Anyway, I drew this picture with the thought in mind that those of use who choose Liara would like to possibly see a little asariShep daughter in the future (even if Liara is still in her maiden stage).

There’s a rather interesting theory that the crest on an asari differs between them depending on their Sire/dame, since asari can reproduce with any species. This theory holds that an asari sired by a turian might have a more grayish crest, and an asari with a salarian sire might have a crest that appears more scaly, etc. in keeping with that theory, I added a slight peach overtone to the child’s crest to represent her connection to her human parent. The little one has slightly darker skin than her mother, possibly an inheritance from her grandmother (Benezia) Liara's top is based on her regular science uniform, and the few asari designs we see in-game, the little one's shirt is a purposeful call-back to the default amour that Shepard has at the very start of the game.

I didn't give her a name, so I'll leave it up to you what you think your Shepard would like to call his/her child.

Check it out, this piece inspired a short, but awesome, work of fiction from

Are you reading it yet?
Then GO! XD

That would be one hell of a plat twist. Romance Liara in the first game, come back in the second to find that she has a two year old daughter.

Yes, that would have been quite interesting. Hopefully we'll see asari babies at the end of ME3.

For the record, I play way to many games, you can probably mention just about any game and either I’ve tried it or I own it. Hence the love of both Tales of Symphonia and Mass Effect.

Seriously, they can’t give us a line like the one in LotSB and then just leave us hanging with the asari baby thing, I’d really love to see a Shep-T’soni family at the end of ME3.

Not Perfect Dark, I tried downloading a demo on my 360, but my internet died and it didn't finish.
Yea, I play Okami, hence [link]
If you like Liara at all, you will love LotSB, best DLC yet.

Is Perfect Dark really that good?

The whole DLC is great, there's so much banter between Shep and Liara, and the romance is brilliant.
HA! Clever play on words there.

*shudder* I found the whole Jacob love scene so creepy, my friend and I watched it on youtube because neither of us wanted to cheat, and we both cringed the whole way through.

Harmon20 In reply to Wolf--Shadow [2010-09-23 21:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Uh, yes. Its multiplayer has lots of stuff from Goldeneye, but also has tons of customizable options (and the weapons are incredibly awesome). The fact that you're getting a fifty dollar game for ten bucks is what makes it such a good deal on 360. The campaign is addictive (6 times through to date!), the cheats make it even more replayable, and tack on co-op and counter-op to that... The only thing worth complaining about is the Xbox LIVE, since you can barely find anyone online... And the plot's phenomenal. @_@;; (once you understand it anyways)

And yes. Jacob's creepy. Porno dialogue. Yet another Jacob with his shirt off.

Very nice. It's simple, doesn't have any background noise, and centers Liara and child neatly in the drawing. This is exactly how I imagined Liara's and Shepard's child (who is always female for me as well). It also goes well with the fic, which I adored just as much.

Wonderful job!

how come both Carth Onasi and Kaidon Alenko sound winey to me? As FemShep I too chose Liara my first time through. I could also see their daughter becoming a Spectre.

Indeed, though I've never played KOTOR, I did find Kaidan rather dreary.
'Whine, whine, bad things happen, I loved and lost...'

'Umm, hey, we're facing galactic extinction, could you at least try to find something positive? I get enough bad stuff in my day job; I don’t need it from my love interest.’

Ditto on the daughter thing.

Wolf--Shadow In reply to Sabre9 [2008-10-27 21:25:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking about that.
But it would be rather difficult, the other species don't raise their young like humans or Asari, at least according to the Codex.
I might give it a go though.

Wolf--Shadow In reply to Sabre9 [2008-10-28 00:43:01 +0000 UTC]

Well, from what I understand from each entry I've read, the turians are really prideful, and they enter the military at a young age. I think that might lead to a more strict family atmosphere than most humans have. And salarians are almost ninety percent male, seeing as how the females lay eyes that are entirely male unless fertilized, and fertilization is strictly monitored. So I’m not sure if salarian females raise their own broods, or if their given to males of the family to raise in groups.

It makes quite an interesting topic for theorizing.
So I’ll try to think up some other ones, maybe do one with Tali and her mom.
