Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

Nooooooooooooo, metagaming!
Play blind first time, jeez.

First time I played ME2 I fudged up the suicide mission so bad. RIP Normandy crew, Miranda, Mordin.

What's your Ryder's name, what class do you think you'll emulate most, what's their basic personality going to be, and which two squaddies do you think will be the staples of your team?

Tumblr is GREAT! I never encounter awful people. But on tumblr I am mostly NOT in the BioWare fandom. It's anime, Voltron, Star Wars, etc. No drama! Just beautiful fan art

I just had to catch up on 5 pages of thread. Phew. Thank goodness I have wine and chocolate.

I also have a a tumblr, but I rarely go on it. I think I follow around 2 people. Solas I think is one of them. I'm too lazy to figure out what's what on there for the most part.

I don't get why we're being labeled crazy already, unless it's not us but cesspool like reddit that is causing it. We're incredibly enthusiastic and excited! Not crazy. This thread is so full of fabulous. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the negative-nancies out there do not find us. I don't want my favorite thread peed in.

I have two playthroughs planned, and will likely do them back to back since I've done this with every other Bioware game when I first got it. I keep going back and forth on which I want to do first...

One will be named Sara, and I'll model her after Jennifer Connelly a bit as a nod to Sarah from the Labyrinth. I imagine her as an unwilling leader not too happy about this whole having to be Pathfinder business - a little immature, brash at times, but very good-natured and curious. The funny one. I'm thinking she'll be an Adept or Vanguard. Lots of biotics though. I always try to rotate out the squad a lot, but I can see her using Jaal quite a bit (as she's curious about him, and his sniping will make for good backup). Also, I think she and PeeBee and Liam will get along well. Drack will be her space Grandpa. She'll be my Jaal-mancer if he's available.

The other is Ghost - it's a name I've used a lot for my various protagonist, and that fact that it's Alec's favorite song (I've decided, because he's still dork dad under the badass) makes it kind of hilarious. I don't really have a specific model in mind for her. Maybe a dark-skinned brunette with a bit of an Arabic look? I see her as this pragmatic type who takes everything a little too seriously. A tech nerd, so an Engineer or Sentinel. Professional, but with a rebellious streak. She'll clash a bit with Liam, which is exactly why he'll be her romance (and constant squadmate as such) if available. I can see her bringing Vetra along a lot too, though Cora's biotics will come in handy.

Of course, I always do these and get into the game and all my plans go out the window! Oh, well... 

Wellll.......

 I originally intended Sara for Liam, but then Jaal appeared and it was way too perfect! I am leaning toward my Liam-mancer first though (provided he's available for Sara - I know it's likely but please confirm it anyway devs...). Because he seems less like to step on my heart and crush it to a bloody pulp. I'll let you guys go for Jaal and then if there is a terrible outcome at least I'll be prepared... 

Oh I'm not romancing anyone until I beat the game. I want to get to know all of my LI's. I also want to see if anyone actually makes a move if I simply flirt. I refuse to become another wanton Shepard.

I love the thought put into her! I'm always wary about headcanoning background and relationships because usually BioWare throws a monkey wrench into that (and it definitely feels like Ryder and their background is already annoyingly defined )

Also DOLL MAKERS! I remember we had fun making our characters with those once back in pre-release Solas thread. It's a great time waster and I wouldn't be opposed to playing with them in here just saying. There's some really detailed ones.
