    I'm curious what people configured for their Mass Effect character. I've got 2 myself, one Soldier and one Vanguard. Soldier is a guy, and I left him as the stock John Shepard because I immediately thought he looked like Dominic Purcell (Click for image), who has played some pretty bad ass characters in movies/TV shows.

    Female character is a Vanguard, and looks like this:

    I'm pretty happy with the way that one turned out, except for the hairline, but that's Bioware's fault not mine.

    So, what does your character look like? Screenshots preferred since a pixel (or 1764000 of them :) ) is worth a thousand words.

    i tried to make mine look like Saul Tigh from the new BSG, though it turned out much more Patrick Stewart like than intended.

    Pretty much, started a new one with a fairly convincing Avery Brooks (Ben Sisko from DS9)character though it kinda has an unitended Ving Rhames flair to it, really wish they included a voice modulation algorithm, the standard voice doesnt work well for many custom characters.

    "What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' *******, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass."

    Yep, definitely a Ving Rhames vibe. :D

    Now imagine that with the Comannder Shepard voice....just doesnt work to well does it? Truth be told IMO the voice doesnt work well with the default male character.

    The character creator is kind of limited. They all look very similar. I tried to make a petite redhead, but she looks like a combination of Renee Zellweger and a white whoopi goldberg.

    My femshep Infiltrator on 360 looks exactly like that, with different color hair and lips.
