What would damage a friendship for Shepard?
For Jacen, any sort of two faced nonsense. Being friendly with him, then talking behind his back, making fun of his quirks. That sort of thing.
For Scout, it’s probably more of a lack of integrity of any sort. She doesn’t like cheats, she doesn’t like liars. Even if she found someone amusing, that sort of thing would shut it down fast.
For Aedan, it’s trickier. She’s not perfect, she certainly doesn’t expect anyone else to be. She’d say anyone who took advantage of weaker people, but she adores the krogan and they make a habit of it. Looking at her relationships, she likes people to...own up to what they’re bad at. She doesn’t mind covering for a weakness, she’s got plenty, she just wants you to admit it.
What would be their perfect date?
Scout likes a big, walloping romantic gesture. She wants the roses and candlelight and champagne. Barring that, her guy learning a dramatic, human dance ritual? That was pretty swell.
Jacen just wants to hang out and not get shot at, thanks. A restaurant that caters to both levo/dextro diets and a not too serious movie or play: he might think it was fun to be super civilized for a night. Cuddles.
Aedan needs something physical, hiking up a good climb or scuba or something of that nature. Followed up by an afternoon in the sun and a very simple finger food type meal. It probably needs to end in sex.
Is there anything they dislike about the other?
Not so much *dislike.* Both Aedan and Kaidan have things that can get exhausting, now and again. Aedan flails a little at how easily Kaidan sees through her, it makes her want to hide sometimes. Kaidan wants to shake her for not realizing that sometimes people need you to tell them when you’re in trouble and not have to connect eight different micro expressions and the way you take your coffee, Shepard. (sorry, had a moment, lol). Aedan gets tunnel vision, Kaidan can be a little too righteous. Both of those are things they admire but it’s hard to *live* with when people keep trying to murder you. Aedan tries to laugh off pain of any sort, Kaidan can get lost fixating on a detail. Nothing huge, but things that would probably become issues if they wouldn’t talk them out, eventually.
Is there an enemy for whom your Shepard have/had respect?
An actual enemy? No. She ends up having to treat the Council adversarially to get what she wants done. She generally respects them by 3, gets where they’re coming from. She also would like to bury her head in the sand. But she has a job to do. She ends up fairly averse to the Quarians but Tali keeps Aedan from seeing them as enemies. For all her shades of grey though, Aedan knows evil when she sees it. Saren’s a bad guy in evil’s pocket. TIM’s a bad guy with deep pockets and no moral center. The Reapers are evil. The closest she might come to it is the Batarians, Balak in particular. She respects that he pulls his shit together to help his people in the end.
