hello!! i'm maria and i am here with a joyful ray of sunshine, commander shepard from mass effect!

and by joyful ray of sunshine, i mean worn out war veteran in desperate need of a nap she'll never get. this whole gig isn't particularly far off from what she's used to, with the exception of being less high tech, less space, and fewer space zombies. which is fine, she doesn't miss those!

i haven't been this excited to be in a game in a LONG TIME, so if you add me on plurk (which you are welcome to do) at hendricks, please forgive and be prepared for a constant stream of !!!! and my attempts to control my use of caps lock. currently looking forward to EVERYTHING.



and now, witness the beauty of these masterful games:

joined military at young age but eventually defected, sole survivor of catastrophes, dead parents, fights alien menanceseses with occasional complete alien genocide or blown up planets, held to high regards by space military but she just wants to be Left Alone to save the universe her own way, little patience for foolishness, values competence, enjoys things that go pew pew and space booze and powered armor/weapons, voiced by jennifer hale

good friend material?

[synergise]

... EXCELLENT FRIEND MATERIAL

and omg i didn't know she was voiced by jennifer hale WHAT A GOOD VOICE THAT'S A GREAT VOICE like i'm not biased or anything

[raisedbybirds]

Samus has like... three voice actors, incredibly, for a 'mute' protag. But YES Jennifer Hale did the voice for all the Metroid Prime games! It's admittedly just like... grunts and cries of pain but there was an outtake that had her doing a full intro speech. SAD IT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE FINAL GAME but hey. It is definitely a very good voice.
