Mass Effect (video game)/Characters/Party Members: Difference between revisions

A human Systems Alliance Marine who specializes in weapons skills and heavy armor. One of two possible romance options for a male Shepard. Returns as a party member and romance option in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' if she survived the first game.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Of all of the characters in ''[[Mass Effect (video game)|Mass Effect 1]]'', only Wrex can match her for sheer toughness, and no one is as adept with weapons as her. This continues in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', where her skills are mostly focused on dealing damage (as opposed to James, the other soldier character, whose skills are more focused on survivability).

* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: "Skipper", towards Shepard.

A turian C-Sec officer who joins Shepard's team after becoming dissatisfied with regulations at C-Sec. Specializes in technology and long-range combat. Rejoins Shepard as a squadmate in ''Mass Effect 2''. Fan demand made him a love interest for the female Shepard. He returns as a squad member in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', provided he survived the second game.

 

* [[Adorkable]]: In his romance with female Shepard. First, he agrees to Shepard's offer of casual sex, but each time you talk to him after that, he's increasingly awkward, worrying about all the ways their [[Interspecies Romance]] could crash and burn. By the time he shows up in Shepard's quarters, he's babbling from nerves. Finally, he confesses it's because he feels like Shepard is the only real friend he's got left, and after all his failures, he wants their relationship to be something that finally goes right.

** Come ''Mass Effect 3'', he's not as nervous around her if she continues to see him.

A human biotic Sentinel Marine in the Systems Alliance military who specializes in technology and biotic support powers. One of two possible romance interests for a female Shepard. Returns as a party member and romance option in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' if he survived the first game.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Asskicking Equals Authority]]}}: {{spoiler|He's been made a Spectre in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]''}}.

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Kaidan is prone to the occasional non sequitur and odd, childlike observation.

An [[Bizarre Alien Biology|asari]] [[Hot Scientist|scientist]] and expert on the Protheans who joins Shepard's team after being attacked by the geth. Also a powerful biotic with powers that can only be matched by an Adept Shepard. [[Boldly Coming|Possible romance interest for a Shepard]] [[Bi the Way|of either gender]]. One of the few characters who can join your party in all three games, being permanent in ''Mass Effect 1'' and ''Mass Effect 3'', and available in ''Mass Effect 2'' via DLC.

 

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Her new power for the third game is Warp Ammo.

* [[Action Girl]]: Prothean ruins are a popular target for pirates and mercenaries looking for quick cash. If you want to excavate them alone, you've got to know your way around a fight.

A quarian mechanist who specializes in technology and is traveling on her Pilgrimage to find technology or resources valuable to the quarian Migrant Fleet. Joins Shepard's team for protection when she finds information incriminating Saren, and remains both out of gratitude and to help bring down Saren. She is also a party member in the sequels, as well as a romance option.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: She doesn't hesitate to get into a scrap.

* [[Adorkable]]: A rare female example of the trope, particularly when you romance her in the sequel.

A krogan battlemaster who combines close-combat skills and enormous physical strength and durability with biotic powers. Joins Shepard's team out of both an interest in fighting a good battle and because the money is nice. Becomes a progressive-minded overlord of the krogan people in ''Mass Effect 2'' if he survived the events of the first game, eventually uniting them under his banner.

 

* [[Afraid of Needles]]: Mordin claims this about [[The Big Guy|Wr]][[Proud Warrior Race Guy|ex]] when he's eager to leave his lab and donate tissue samples later. It may or may not be true, but either way it's hilarious. But when he finally gets around to it...

An over-enthusiastic Alliance soldier from Eden Prime, he is assigned as part of your squad when everything goes to hell there. Continuing in the long Bioware tradition of early sacrificial party members, he dies in the opening few minutes.

 

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: He says he's itching for some action just before the Eden Prime mission. Too bad "action" in his case meant watching his homeworld get scorched and being gunned down by a pair of geth recon drones.

* [[Sacrificial Lamb]] / [[Red Shirt]]
