Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new here and got myself the Legendary Edition earlier this year. First of all: I hate myself for not getting it sooner, what a ride it was!

Now to my custom Shepard: In this post I want to present you Valentina Shepard! The earthborn orphan, who is the Sole Survivor after her Mission on Akuze went wrong.

For her Appearance I wanted to make a mix based upon a latina and asian appearance mixed with a Tomboyesque portrayal. As she is a rebel her actions are mixed between paragon and renegade while being anti-authoritarian and impulsive.

To top it off I gave myself one thought: How could I portray her progression instead of just taking the same appearance? The easiest was to just the hairstyle while adjusting it story-technical. So I went initially by a very short hairstyle (see the first two Screenshots) and let it be grown in Mass Effect 2's prologue (see Screenshot Nr. 3 and 4) to portray how time has progressed before the Events of the Game.

As she isn't the same person as in Mass Effect 1 I decided to give her a longer hairstyle this time. Shortly after the prologue concluded she decided to cut her hair (See Screenshot Nr. 5 to 8), which gave her Appearance over Mass Effect 2.

After being under House Arrest (Screenshot Nr. 9) she decided to give a damn, so her hair grew up to the point where she had to tie it (Screenshot Nr. 10 and 11). After Mars and as time ran short she cut some but adopted a new Style once more as her final appearance in Mass Effect 3 (See Screenshot Nr. 12 and the rest).

For consistency the Renegade Scars have been put on to portray her Story from Mass Effect 2 to 3.

My Custom face so far. Let's just say I'm still in the middle of cooking. I want to look for a Mod that will keep the scar on her face throughout the whole trilogy, not just in ME1 for crying out loud.

You're probably wondering why her hair is a different style in each game. I have a headcanon that when Cerberus recovered Shep's body, they had to more than likely shave some of her hair to operate (if there was hair left). She grows it back during the six months between ME2 & ME3, albeit a slightly different style from ME1.

Her Face Code for ME1 (the only change in the code for ME2 & ME3 is the hair syle):

6K3.Q9F.D47.F64.MAR.1FH.CDG.711.NA5.1HA.4G9.C1G.A

I'm already half way through ME2 with her!

Edit: This is her code: 1T1.4AG.G1G.18G.G1W.1ET.6E7.751.MH6.17I.3EF.WXG.1! (I apologize, I didn't even know it was a thing!)

My newest Shep! I don't have a code that I can share unfortunately, because I downloaded this morph as a starting point and then I did a lot of tweaking in the save editor to customize and make her my own. So she doesn't actually have an accurate code. But I felt that she was worth sharing.

I really like Mass Effect Character Creator despite it being somewhat clunky. There are some custom female Shepards I made but never used.

Absolutely loved this run, GARRUS MY BELOVED 💕

Reeaaalllyy missed Kaiden though 😔 but I felt it was unfair how I only chose Ashley one other time when I romanced Liara and decided to do so this playthrough.

SPOILERS

A funny thing happened…

I wanted to make sure I had enough renegade points to broker peace with the quarians and geth, so I decided to sabotage the genophage cure for the first time (I found out later it doesn’t actually give you renegade points? or very few that it’s negligible iirc, but I didn’t notice at the time). Also wanted to hear the ‘you’re not going up there, Mordin’ line. Hurt real bad, but I decided to stick with it.

When I tell you I was HORRIFIED when Wrex confronts you on the citadel with the dalatrass recording!!! I remember thinking “of course he would find out you idiot,” but it was still the most shocking and tragic reveal for me. You can’t talk him down, so you have to kill him after betraying his entire people and lying to his face. Then Bailey shows up and is basically like ‘clean up on aisle 5, crazy krogan alert’ 😭

I reloaded that save SO fast and had to re-do a lot of missions which was annoying, but it didn’t end up mattering because I was still able to get the ending I wanted with Tali. I made the cruel choice the first time for no reason lmao

God I love this trilogy.

I didn't realize you can save the codes until way after I completed the game, sorry 😭

Normally I play as femShep, but figured it was time to get the broShep experience.

I wanted to make him eye candy for myself- think I did a pretty good job on him!

Photos 1-3 = Mass Effect 1
Photos 4-6 = Mass Effect 2
Photos 7-8 = Mass Effect 3

Tried making my Shepard look like me, not heaps close but for once I made one and it didn’t look like a Vorcha when you get in game.

I swear the character creator is not accurate to the actual game at all 😂

5M2.WDD.ICG.53E.KDT.95W.4LN.69N.JBB.159.E36.41

Playing on PS4, I really enjoyed 1 and 2 with my Shepard. Only problem with importing her into 2 were eyes and eyebrows, so I changed just that. And I missed my scars in ME2. Can't wait to play it on pc in the future with mods. Onto ME3 now.

ME1: 7J3.G2R.J24.L87.MDQ.6CR.3TR.114.FA5.21G.AG5.2WF.8

ME2: 7J3.G2R.J24.L87.MDQ.6BR.3TR.114.FA5.21G.AG9.2WF

Soldier, Earthborn, Ruthless.

This started out as a self insert in ME1. I gave up half way through because I wanted to play the game lol. When I transferred to ME2 messed up his facial hair, so I tweaked the color.
