Character name: Commander Shepard Character canon: Mass Effect Briefly explain what their ideal world is like - how has it changed? Shepard's ideal world is a world where the Reaper war was won. Because of the war, all of the alien species live in relative harmony- there's still some tensions here and there but through the fire and strife of the Reaper War, galactic politics no longer has the chance to lead everyone into a war with each other. Rather, there is more cooperation and camaraderie than before, even if there are still sour moods here and there. Technology has also advanced so highly that synthetic and organics also live in harmony, both of their needs addressed and cared for. Briefly explain your character's role in this world: Shepard is a hero, and recognized as such throughout the galaxy. That being said, she isn't given much in the ways of special privileges- rather, she's more a welcome friend in many places, even as she still travels the galaxy working for the Alliance and the Citadel Council in keeping the galactic peace. Her crew on the Normandy still travel with her from world to world and they still get into shenanigans and adventures, but no one dies and they all come out of it ok. Other roles characters might assume in this world: Shepard has more a found family than anything and close CR will find themselves as either members of her crew on the Normandy, or as trusted advisors/friends she meets on different planets. Other CR that isn't that close or new will find themselves as people who live on the Citadel, the big spaceship hub of almost all life in the galaxy that Shepard is happy to talk with and help out with whatever they need, small or large. Potential discrepancies others may pick up: If anyone asks how long ago the Reaper War ended, anyone they ask, NPC, Shepard, one of her crew- they will all have differing answers as to when. If pressed to ask how it ended, no one will be able to give a solid answer- after all, only Shepard knows, and even then, she may never know the consequences of her actions in real life.
Past that, despite the fact that the War absolutely killed billions of people, somehow the populations of planets and of the Citadel itself are booming and healthy and many families are together and whole. Somehow not one person lost someone immediately close to them to the Reapers.
Any other discrepancies would be ones that stick out to anyone who knows Shepard and her history personally- which, unfortunately, isn't a lot since she's so tight-lipped, but Anderson, Kaidan Alenko, Mordin Solus, Legion and other close friends of hers who gave their lives during the war are alive and well in this world and if pressed on how they survived, will not be able to give a solid answer. Another discrepancy in this line of thinking is that Shepard has a significant other named Garrus Vakarian who won't recognize anyone from LA as Shepard's friend despite her recognizing them all and, in her mind, having already introduced them to him.
