Mass Effect 1
"...Anderson. You realize what this operation implies don't you? The council does not often approach us with proposals of joint missions. Even stranger that they request we send someone they handpicked from our ranks.
"The council still doesn't trust humanity, Udina. They may be hiding their intentions, but we both know the most likely reason they are doing this. That's why this is the biggest opportunity since the discovery of the Mass Effect field for humanity to cement its role in intergalactic society. We will just have to prepare Shepard the best we can for this responsibility."
"...Well, what about Shepard? Why would the council request such an untested marine?"
"Obviously, you don't know much about Shepard's career. Just take a look at this file..."

*This is where you will construct the profile for you protagonist: Commander Shepard. You will live vicariously through this marine as you explore the Milky Way galaxy. Be wary that the choices you make will be reflected in Shepard's personality which will affect uncontrollable dialogue from Shepard and sometimes other characters. Some choices you make can change Shepard's personality over time (and may even cause some paths to converge), but the background you decide here will have the strongest impact going forward.
