I plan to bring over my female Shepard from the first Mass Effect, called Eversory.
So, GiantBomb community, what are you going to name your Shepard? Or if you've already got a Shepard you're planning to import from the first game, what's his/her name?
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
What did you/are you going to name your Shepard?
I never like making my own characters for games, so i just had original Shepard, because i like his name plus he looks cool aswell.
My first character, which is the paragon file I'm importing is named Skye Shepard I believe (it's been awhile since I've played that file) and I'm currently working on a renegade file with the standard John Shepard name.
I will just start a game with the generic one, i remember how hard it was to make a somewhat good looking character in the first Mass Effect.
" lol Adrian Shephard, a homage to the main character of half life opposing force. "That.
I made my male character look a lot like me, and named him Charles (my first name). I used the generic female Shepard and named her Charlene =D
Same thing will be done for the sequel, as I will be re-using those characters.
Wel..John is my name, so I just went with John Shephard just like me. Also went with the default look. I never really liked the Mass Effect Character Creator. It wasnt very...robust...
The only character I used in Mass Effect was called Miranda Shepard. She was a great character, but sadly I cannot use her in ME2 because Miranda is the name of one of your squadmates and a key member of the crew. So now I either have to make a new Shepard, or play through ME1 again with a new character. Thanks, BioWare. Ugh.
Ulysses Shepard, Engineer.
Does anybody know if we get a chance to change what our Shepards look like? I want to take the default Shepard, but make him black and bald. Is this possible?
Does nobody name their Shepard something like Clancy or Tabernacle? Or like, Shamgod or something. Butch. Angus. Randy. Grundle? Anybody?
I go with the obvious choice: Jack Shepard
from the show Lost. My other characters were Christian Shepard(more Lost) and Adrian Shepard (opposing force)
But yeah the first name really has no effect on the game in any sense. You're always Shepard. It may as well just be a 'Save Game File' name.
" Wow, I thought I was the only one to use Adrian after the Half-Life character of the same name. "Don't underestimate the power of Half-life Lore! It seems so obscure... but a lot of people are into these days it seems.
First character was a renegade adept named Red. I then planned on making a neutral character named Grey, and then a paragon character named Blue. Then I played Call of Duty 4, and decided that my next guy should be a super sly secret agent type guy, so I had to think of a random word for his name. I came up with Milk.
Milk Shepard.
My ideas, pending the number of characters allowed:
Balls Malone
Herbie
Ivan Ivanovitch
"Squirts" Pulasky
Dog Chow Bob
Dontravius Shepard. Ndamukong Shepard. PrinceAmukamara Shepard. Latravis Shepard.
Edit:
@Sparky_Buzzsaw said:
Balls MaloneVery solid selection as well.
Herbie

For some random reason I decided to play ME1 again and this time I'm going to name him Krispy. Don't ask how that name came to fruition because I sure as hell don't know.
