Apparently I have problems letting Commander Sidney Shepard go. D:
So, I decided to put a Part 2 onto Only Human. Why? Because I can.
Part 2 will consist of one-shots that I never got to add into the story because I hadn't planned on continuing it, and they didn't fit in. So, some of them may not go on directly with the story. So sorry, but who doesn't like a little Miri/Shep fluff? Satan, that's who. XD
I guess it wouldn't hurt to show the background of my Shepard… So here's her record.
Name: Commander Sidney Rose Shepard
Age: 30
Height: 5'4
Weight: 127lbs
Hair color: Blonde
Eye color: Green
Birthdate: December 13th, 2154 (I didn't know her birthday was April 11th at the time.)
Class: Vanguard
Pre-Service History: Earth-born
Notable History:
-Sole Survivor of Akuze
-Saved Council and destroyed Saren and Sovereign.
As for Renegade/Paragon, Shepard is mostly a paragon, but when she gets pissed, she's a full on renegade. She's also just a renegade for kicks sometimes. XD
Also, I wanted to bring up one thing, and that is Shepard's voice. While I adore Jennifer Hale's voice acting (and I do, trust me :D), I never imagined Sidney with such a powerful voice. As you can tell, I strayed pretty far from the default Shepard with her. I actually imagined her with Keeley Hawes' voice, and for those Tomb Raider fans, you know who I'm talking about. She's the voice of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld. (If you want a good anecdote of her voice, I like this. It seems like a story that Shepard would tell. Something completely ridiculous. I REALLY suggest watching this…: youtube (DOT)com/watch?v=xucftHG9zPo&feature=related ) The reason her voice is so fitting, is for one, she's british, and two, Keeley voice lets me imagine Shepard being serious, but at the same time, her voice is easier for me to imagine Shepard being you know, silly, like she is. And she can be soft like she is in some of the scenes. Jennifer Hale's voice just doesn't carry that emotion the same way. :\ At least not in the game. Pl
Anyways, I guess then I'll talk a bit about her childhood.
Her parents actually live in London; a little bit that I left out originally that I regret now. XD Because in retrospect, it was kinda important. XD So, she was born in London and when she was four months old, she was taken from her parents. Her parents were charged a 15,000c ransom, which they paid but never received their daughter.
Shepard grew up on the streets, slowly learning how to support herself. She never likes to talk about it because she said out of all of her life that was the part she hates the most. When she was eighteen she was raped in an alleyway and decided to join the Alliance to start a new life. She cut off her hair to a moppy hairdo that she had seen other Alliance women have. (Something like this, with a bit more curl to it. But just a little: tumblr(DOT)com/tumblr_kyue8vDORL1qbnbfeo1_)
When she entered the Academy, she ended up with a training squad of all men, well very young men. It was a range of 18-21. That's where she met Kaiden Alenko who became her only friend. Since she didn't look much like a woman at that point with her moppy hair and rather flat chest they called her "Samson Shepard" among other things. One day during their training, one of the boys went too far and Kaidan punched him. Shepard was surprised and soon after they began dating. They were together until the attack on Virmire and since Shepard is still in the process of letting him go, even though she has Miranda. Miranda on the other hand, instead of being jealous, helps the Commander talk about Kaidan and move on, if she ever will be able to.
So there you have it, that's my Shepard. Sorry, if her being British or Keeley Hawes' voice annoys you, but that's how I see her. Sorry. :\ But that being said, I do love her.
I hope you enjoy her as much as I do! And keep the reviews coming, I love them so much! It really inspires me, and if you have an idea for a Miri/Shep story for my Shepard I'd love to hear it, I might write it! :D
