So long as she shakes her booty as her dancing moves, then I agree with this.

I think I covered this one before in the non-academic asari thread. I suggested one of those dancers. She would flash her tits at the bad guys and then, while they're distracted, shoot them. Can't go wrong there. Well, there are exceptions, but it's not that unreasonable.

Due to the nature of these games it will have to be someone with a background in military or law enforcement. Not necessarily. Depends how they scale the narrative perception of challenges early on. MEA had you start as something more of a scout/guard, then went rapidly up since SAM. Yes, military, but didn't necessarily need to be. DA2 had you as a strong fighter, sure, but not THE Hawke until way further on. You could be a scavenger, or a scientist, or even a creative that uses particularly advanced tech to express yourself (in the magical sense for DA, this was Zither). This is scfi, they can make things happen. But no matter what, it'll be something they can put into heroic marketing poses. EDIT: And it also depends on creative direction of combat and character development. ME1 started as us having all the guns, but hey we also have some biotics and tech we can shoot out with these other pieces of gear. Well since, we've had more impressive utilization of biotics (to the point of Aria's Flare craziness), and some better battlefield control through tech. MEA went further, turning guns into really just one of our central but not THE central tool (I've had times in MP that I just ignore my guns almost entirely and I zap away), and biotics is getting more kinetic again. I can surely see a ME game in 2020s or-oh-my 2030s that eschews guns as all but one nice option, and with that comes more narrative possibility. Could we, as I indicated, be a biotic in the far future that weaves biotics more skillfully than any MET asari? Could we be a such advanced engineer (as character basis as Shepard was soldier) that we have the tools to turn the battlefield into an active gameboard, again with guns being just one central tool to rushing around this board? We don't need to be a soldier. But being a soldier was the easiest way for Bioware to communicate that this is both an RPG and a SHOOTER, especially in the gaming environment of the 00s (Halo, etc).

In a post ME3 game, the protag could be a disgraced/discredited archeologist looking for artifacts from previous cultures in newly opened up regions of the galaxy to sell to the government or black market to eek out a living. Has had to learn how to handle a gun and other skills by necessity. S/he finds evidence of an impending natural disaster related to eezo (foreshadowed in Tali's recruitment mission in ME2) which the Reepers were aware of apart from their prevent conflict between synthetic and organic life directive. It adds a bit more depth to their motivation to cleanse the galaxy every 50k years (slow down rate of deterioration). Eezo is the backbone of galactic civilisation, so of course nobody wants to give up using it, with some refusing to listen at all. Protag ends up putting together a team to try to find a long term solution.
This character and story wouldn't invalidate MEA, but allows fans of the universe who don't want to touch that storyline again to have an alternative.

There's a lot of time in between the end of ME1 and the beginning of ME3 in which to set some games. A merc game in the Attican Traverse and or Terminus systems, for instance.
In any event, the background doesn't matter a great deal, but really can't vary too much. I mean Mass Effect is still a shooter and your character will need some sort of background that makes sense in that context (like soldier or maybe cop).

Some form of freelancer with military past would be preferable. I’d hoped after me2, that we wouldn’t be rigidly re-bound to alliance but that didn’t happen.

Cerberus experiment. Origin choices determine a starting mission in a facility either a soldier, tech or biotic facility. Outside forces attack and you either fight through them to escape or rejoin Cerberus, players choice. 😉

I don't even think they need different voice actors with most of them sounding so close (humanoid in nature) to the same. They should be able to cut down on the budget with some form of auto-tune.

I wouldn't mind playing as a Spectre and actually exploring that idea. Only ME1 ever did it and even then the Reaper plot overshadowed it. I'd like to play as a Spectre in a more sandbox galaxy. I have my mandate to protect galactic stability and beyond that it is up to me what quests to pursue; what factions to fight, which ones to help, and so forth. You come under review after a while and can declared rogue if you didn't do a good job. Along the way you would be tempted to by offers of wealth and power, and perhaps prudence, to cut yourself a slice of the criminal underworld. Very easy to accidentally drift into corruption and treason when you realize you could use your influence to live like a king and rule over a star system all yourself.
Maybe just play as a rogue Spectre? Turn warlord and have to keep your head and your little empire while the Council sends agents to take you down.

My preference is continuing Ryder’s story. As for any following protagonist, I think the basic soldier-turned-big-damn-hero angle works fine and reconciles the combat prowess our character always possesses. All it needs are some fun details, preferably those we can select from like Shepard. I would love if there was some sort of scientific background we could add in there, with relevant dialogue in game, similar to Inquisition’s dialogue perks that unlocked special options.
