Because of Shepard... I am alive. And I am not alone. —Edi

The rogue combat VI on Luna, which later becomes an unshackled AI with integrated Sovereign technology, i.e., EDI, crying out "HELP" as the player kills it.

EDI: "Gaining awareness while under attack was… confusing. I am pleased that my relationship with organics has become more cooperative."

The Cerberus tech guy talking about VI EDI: "It is smart enough to signal for help, but will not be talking philosophy anytime soon."

Meanwhile,

EDI's goodbye before the final mission: "Shepard? There is something I want you to know. The Illusive Man ordered my creation years ago. Jeff was the one who allowed me to think for myself. But only now do I feel alive. That is your influence."

Character ref pics from various angles, put together in rar files- you'll need something like winrar or 7zip to extract them, (I can't fit all the individual images on my drive so this is the best solution). The images are PNGs, characters are on transparency.

All the rars can be found in this folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K4OD9xh294K3-b5GHwK3yGYEcuaSkzp9?usp=sharing

What's in there so far: Garrus ME3 head angles/ Garrus ME2 scars and bandage head angles/ Thane head angles/ Feron head angles/Kolyat head angles/ Thane default coat body angles/ Feron body angles/ Kolyat body angles/ Liara ME3 head and body angles/ Wrex red armour ME3 head and body angles/ Tali default outfit ME3 head and body angles /Javik head and body angles / Ashley (hair up) ME3 armor / Kaiden ME3 fatigues head and body / Miranda catsuit head and body / Jacob ME3 armor head and body/ Jack ME3 head and body / Zaeed default outfit head and body / Samantha Traynor fatigues head and body/ Steve Cortez fatigues head and body

I will add some more characters over time and update the post as and when I do :) There's also a tutorial I put together on downloading and installing XNA pose for yourself in that folder (it's a free program and I think it's super nifty) XNA/XPS models extracted by various creators, many links sadly now dead. Active ones that have been used here are grummel83, TheRaiderInside, g1pno, reiko-himezono-lirka, SonYume, Mellin

Tell me anything about your OCs

ok i feel like i mainly talk about my dragon age OCs so i'll say something about my mass effect characters.

my male shepard is called lance and he looks like default shep. he's bi, mindoir born and ruthless (so, extremely traumatized), and he was on a date with his first boyfriend when the attack on the colony happened. in me1 he has romantic feelings for both ashley and kaidan, sacrifices her, swears he'll never fall in love again but kaidan softens him eventually.

now for femshep, this is atarah shepard, she's a stone cold bitch and i love her. introverted, spacer, adept, also ruthless. she's loosely inspired by vivienne de fer and sasha williams from twd. there's 2 timelines: one where she romances liara and kaidan, and another where she goes from thane to traynor but that one's not as fleshed out yet
