Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a Systems Alliance N7 Special Forces member and Executive Officer of the SSV Normandy. Commander Shepard’s background differs based on the player’s choice, but in any case, Shepard is the only hope of saving the universe when the Geth, a rogue machine race that rebelled against their masters, attacks the colony of Eden Prime. What begins as a single attack on a human colony soon turns into a galaxy spanning epic to prevent the returns of an ancient and unstoppable force– the Reapers.
Personality… complex. Shepard can either become a Paragon hero or a Renegade anti-hero. Depending on the circumstances, he can be a Sole Survivor, in which Shepard retains psychological trauma from a failed mission; War Hero, in which Shepard is known for his/her bravery and heroics; and Ruthless, in which Shepard is known for doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
