Scott's really enjoying Kadara

[sapphodera]

Here’s a little thing I made for my Ryder twins. I tried to make it look like something you could find on a data pad and such. But it’s mostly for showing off the relationships they have, where the fuller the bar = the closer the friendship

OC Fact Friday: Ryder Triplets Edition

🖊 The triplets all have names derived from mythology, particularly Greek, as their mother was always fond of the legends. Scott is the only one of the triplets to not have a first name that follows the trend, as Alec wanted to give his son the name of his grandfather to carry on the name.

🖊 Oldest to youngest the triplets are as follows: Athena Elora Ryder, Scott Apollo Ryder, and Pandora Elise Ryder.

🖊 The triplets were born on Earth and lived there until their late teens when Alec moved the entire family to the Citadel to continue his research unhindered.

🖊 Athena takes up the mantle of Pathfinder after Alec’s death and Scott is brought out of cryostatis towards the end of the game’s events. Pandora does not emerge from cryostatis until after the events at Meridan and the end of the game.

remember when Andromeda first came out and everybody was so excited about sharing their Ryders we had 100 of screenshots that were just from this perspective:

that was cool

#15 for Max/Ashley or #28 for Cade~

Got a few for Max/Ash so i’ll do this for Cade if that’s okay!

28. something about [them]

Shore leave was getting harder to come by these days, and Cade takes every chance to get out of the SR1 for a bit. The Normandy might be a marvel of engineering, but she’s dark, and cramped, and all too much like a pressure canister with so many wildly different personalities rammed into one space.

Setting foot on the Citadel is a breath of literal fresh air, and a sorely needed one. Cade sighs, rubbing the back of his neck as he listens vaguely to Ash and Kaidan behind him. Scott’s gone ahead to the transit station, and Cade makes to follow, throwing behind a half-assed plan to be back at the dock early the next morning.

Once he’s out of earshot, and close enough to Scott, he lets his composure slip for a moment.

“Jesus fuck, I’m so tired.” Cade leans heavily against a railing, dragging across his face. 

“You’re working your ass off.” Scott says simply, keying in a destination. Cade huffs, folding his arms as he looks over. Scott’s gotten a lot sharper since he joined the Normandy. More upfront, brutally honest. But also more confident. Cade likes to see that, even if he doesn’t quite tell Scott that.

“Hm, you’re observant.” Cade sighs, the bite of sarcasm faltering. Scott looks up at that, blue eyes full of concern in that instant.

“Seriously. You need a power nap or something.”

"Oh, sure, let me just cosy up on a presidium park bench or something.” Cade snorts, entirely aware that he was intending on bunking back on the Normandy tonight. 

“There’s me thinking you had an apartment here.” Scott sighs, “Use mine.” 

“You what?” Cade blinks, not really registering Scott’s words.

“You know I used to live here, right? Well, the family did. Still have our apartment. Sara’s on a dig, my parents are planetside. It’s mine to use.” Scott explains, and Cade listens intently. 

“That’s... yeah. That would be better than a park bench.” Cade admits, and Scott grins back at him, a little smugly. He pulls up his omnitool and pings the navpoint to Cade’s own, before dismissing the holo.

“I’m picking some tech up from the markets. I’ll see you later?” Scott phrases it like a question, and Cade isn’t sure if he means it. He stumbles over his reply for a moment, but eventually strings some words together.

“Uh- yeah, yes. I’ll see you later. At your apartment.” Cade realizes his mistake, “I mean that in a not-creepy way.” 

Scott just laughs and squeezes Cade’s arm as he passes, leaving to head to his shuttle. Cade watches him go, and once he’s out of sight, knocks a curled fist to his forehead with a groan.

“Idiot.” he mutters to himself. A set of footsteps draws closer than Cade expects, though, and when he looks up, he finds his brother staring back at him, looking entirely unimpressed.

“You’re late.” Lachlan sighs, folding his arms across his chest. Cade balks for a moment, then remembers he was meant to be meeting Loch in Apollo’s.

“Oh, shit. Sorry, I was-”

“Talking to your boyfriend, I know.” Loch rolls his eyes, stern expression easily giving way to a smirk as he delivers his jab. 

“He’s not my-” Cade knows he’s just turned a delightful shade of red, but Loch just laughs at him, and Cade gives up on his rebuttal.

“Well, there’s something about him.” Loch says, and Cade isn’t going to deny that one.

I felt weird choosing the stuff I did for Scott. But the thing is Scott loves cats, robots, and basically anything physics related. Poor kid wanted nothing more than to be an engineer.

also, here’s my scott ryder (romancing reyes real soon)

[aymayzing]

He's so dreamy

[sapphodera]

Jaal: *flirts*

Scott Ryder:

[venatohru]

★ ★ for SNOT :P

For every “★” I get, I will post a fact about my characters.

★ Scott got called Snot a lot by his sister when they were younger and he was annoying her. Okay, so sometimes Deanna still calls him it. One time she might have yelled it across Tartarus and Scott wanted the ground to swallow him up. Because omg, not in front of Reyes, sis!

★ Speaking of Reyes, Snot Scott had a pretty big crush on him when he first visited Kadara, but then it got awkward after he found out Deanna made out with him that one time. He has a crush on Cora as well but so far he’s been too shy to do anything other than make small talk about her plants and admire her from afar.

Anyways back to what was suppose to be an honest opinion of the game. The game has its faults yea I get it. But to me… if the games character makes me emotional and gets me really idk the word but crawls into my heart, then it’s a good game So Andromeda was fun in the aspect of how Scott was portrayed and how I played him. How I felt what he would do and feel and how he would react. Also vanguard excellent loved it best thing hell yes

So it’s a 7/10 Would totally get the sequel if there is one. Would get all the DLCS and would totally love to go on a space adventure with my moon and stars Scott Ryder and Reyes Vidal.

Can you tell how much of a loser I am.

“I understand.”

i wasn’t gonna post it but ..... idc here is A Scott

[aymayzing]

ty for the questions in my inbox so here's one for you! --

what objects do your ryders carry around? what classes are they, and ofc, did their parents have any influence on them they consider important? :)

Thank you sm for the ask!!💕 Answer under cut as it got so long 🫣

Scott has ADHD and is very forgetful so at some point he realized he needs to carry around stuff he may forget and then need. So he has a small pack with some water, a protein bar, safety pins, some money, a bandage - just in case.

Sara always has on her finger the ring she got from her mom on her 18th birthday. It's a tradition in Ellen's family that on the 18th birthday a girl gets a diamond ring. Sara's is not super fancy or anything, it's a small, lab grown diamond on a simple band but since she got it from her mother, as a part of family tradition, she values it very much, even more so after Ellen's gone.

I headcanon, much like you it seems :), that both Scott and Sara are biotics. However, Sara's biotics are more powerful, she's able to control them better, she's generally much better at them than Scott. Scott has a rudimentary grasp on his biotics but the best he can do is throw a biotically charged punch. Therefore he, unlike his sister, cannot rely on them, so as Sara went on to become a vanguard, Scott ended up choosing to be an infiltrator. He loves precision, so a sniper rifle is his weapon of choice, followed by a pistol. He doesn't shoot and hopes he hits something, he only shoots when he knows he will hit the target. He's very good at it too, enough to even have impressed Alec, but their father is always looking for an edge for humanity and just shooting good will not cut it. In my mind Alec is very impressed with biotics, believes it to be the next big breakthrough in humanity's history, in how we wage war. So it always made him all the more appreciative of Ellen's research and later on of Sara's powers. Scott was always aware of his father's disappointment in the fact that his biotics don't stack up to his sister's, another thing that made their relationship all the more strained.

For the question about parental influence... Scott has ADHD and it was Ellen who figured out what works for him best, how he can focus best and she is the one who found precision and focusing on small details is a way for Scott to get done what needs to get done. Breaking up reality into small chunks and focusing on them instead of one big thing. That's what she taught him and that's his strategy in his daily life which really came in handy when he became a Pathfinder. It made the situation he was in a little less overwhelming. This is also why he fights the way he does. He wouldn't have been able to handle life as well as he does without it.

When it comes to Alec though, he and Scott were never close, they never really knew one another. Alec loved his son but was never able to show it nor connect with him and at some point Scott stopped looking for any sort of affection or pride from his father, so there wasn't really any area of Scott's life Alec could largely influence. If anything, a lot of Scott's insecurities stem from what Alec pointed out - his not being a great biotic, being too trusting, not taking things seriously. I guess you could say Alec's job as an attaché ended up influencing Scott's choice of career - not the one in the military but the one he envisioned and planned he could've had once he finished uni and served a bit. He wanted to be a diplomat - through Alec he already knew enough people and the realities of intergalactic politics to be good at it. Of course it never worked out but probably, in the end, it made Scott's time as the Pathfinder a bit easier, as navigating interspecies diplomacy was not completely new to him.

Biotics are still new among humans so Sara always felt the odd one out when in the company of more humans than just her family. She heard the whispers, saw the weird looks. Her mother was ofc always very encouraging and trying to get Sara to accept her powers but it was Alec who actually made her feel.good about them. It was not easy to impress Alec Ryder, yet every time she showed him a new trick with her biotics, he was so impressed and excited. That's his biggest influence on his daughter.

Ellen on the other hand had such influence on Sara, being her primary caregiver, that she cannot pinpoint one specific thing that had the biggest influence on her. Everything Ellen did for Sara helped shape her, her morals, view of the world, that it's impossible to pick which one was most important.
