And she becomes captain of the Normandy.ĭiscussing the Reapers, Becoming a Spectre Recruiting Liara The cool thing is that at the end of all this, Liv becomes a Spectre, representing humanity. Which is not something I really wanted, but that’s video games for you. But then it’s implied that the Consort also takes Liv to bed. After Liv helps her with something that’s been troubling her - a meddlesome customer - the Consort gives Liv a fortune telling (or something of the sort). This takes a little help from people who will become her allies and friends - like the turian C-Sec investigator Garrus, the quarian pilgrim Tali, and the krogan bounty hunter Wrex.Īlong the way, two interesting things: Liv learns a little about the Shadow Broker, a mysterious figure (or figures?) who trades in information and Liv visits the asari Consort, who at first glance might seem like some sort of, er, companion, but can actually be something different for each person. Traveling back to the Citadel, she tells the Council about Saren, but they don’t believe her until she finds evidence of his betrayal.

Liv sees a vision when she touches the Prothean beacon, nightmares of the end of civilization. The problem? This Spectre, Saren, kills another Spectre and seems to be working with the geth, turning humans he finds into husks.

Spectres are special agents appointed by the Citadel Council, which rules all of Citadel space (including many alien races). There’s a Prothean beacon there - leftovers from an ancient alien civilization - but also geth and a Spectre who’s not supposed to be there. Becoming a Spectre Beacon on Eden PrimeĪs a military commander, Liv is tasked with investigating a distress call on the colonial planet Eden Prime. She’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done, yet getting to know the crew of the Normandy - experiencing that kind of loyalty for the first time - will definitely soften her over time. Loneliness growing up has made her a little immune to empathy, though she’s also open-minded when it comes to meeting other races and working together. She understands how dangerous life in space can be, and she takes military discipline to heart. She’s also used to being around aliens and the military seeking diplomatic solutions much of the time.Īll of this made her a dreamer, a thrill-seeker, and someone with thick skin. This included being used to the strict regulations of military life, and her parents - while loving - weren’t exactly easy on her if she got into trouble. Since she didn’t have her feet planted on the groundside of any planet, she became accustomed to exploration and action. Growing up with military parents in space, she spent a lot of time alone as a kid, daydreaming about having siblings or at least other kids to play with. I gave her the same Spacer origin story, but this time with the Ruthless history. Naming my character Liv, I made her a redhead Renegade, just like my original Shepard. After kind of a stressful week, I decided the best way to unwind would be to catch up with old friends in a new playthrough of Mass Effect… Liv Shepard’s Backstory
