Notes on the Renegade Shep
- Headcanon says she had cuddly, fluffy, saccharine parents (before they were brutally murdered by slavers on the Mindoir colony, at least, but they were insufferable and deserved it), and they gave her a truly awful name. Bunnie. She detests it. The reason everyone calls her Shepard and never, ever utters her first name? She has been known to punch out people who call her by her first name.
- Then again, she punches and shoots lots of people. The character defining line of, probably the entire game thus far, has been Shep's dialogue (delivered in Jennifer Hale's incredibly talented voice) when asked why she does what she does, responds, "I'm just here to put high-velocity rounds through the skulls of bad guys."
- She has a talent, nay, possibly a supernatural ability for leveling up because of wholly mundane things. Killed a Thresher Maw? Nah, no level. Looked at a nebula out the window? Level up! Asked Ashley Williams about her sisters? Leveled up! Flirted? Leveled up!
- Is already developing a strong reputation for hanging up on the council mid-sentence. Or when the Turian whines. Whenever the Turian whines.
- This has only come into play during the Bring Down The Sky DLC, but has a grudge against Batarians-rather as a whole species, in fact-and oh god will spend so much time in ME2 being delighted at fighting them.
- Really enjoys sniping. (The kind with big guns, not mean comments, although this, too, happens.) Took it up to prove that, despite being named Bunnie and being a girl, she could absolutely kill someone from a hundred yards away. As an Infiltrator, she's a combined Tech/Combat specialist; she had the tech piece before her home colony was destroyed, and picked up the combat piece after being saved by the Alliance. Despite that whole 'and then good soldiers saved me' aspect of her background, puts a lot more importance on stopping bad guys than she does on saving innocents-Bunnie takes a long view. If the slavers or the terrorists or whatever we're dealing with this Tuesday escape, they'll just pull the same bullshit again.
Also likes to point guns at people's faces as a way of speeding up (or ending) conversations.
- More with more gameplay.
