PERSONALITY

SUPERBIA might sometimes operate on logic beyond that of inferior organic minds, but its judgement is never wrong. WHAT MAKES SUPERBIA THINK YOUR CHARACTER IS PRIVATEER MATERIAL? (Powerful martial abilities? Sheer ambitious vision? An ability to make a mean egg salad sandwich?)

Because she's Commander Shepard.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
A powerful biotic, an experienced military commander, captain of a Very Fine Ship, there's a lot of reasons why someone like Shepard would seem like the ideal candidate for a mission like this.
Plus she really, really wants to find Fortuna. She's desperate for it actually. Desperation makes for a powerful reason all on it's own, doesn't it? From becoming the first Human Spectre to stopping a Reaper not once, but twice. To fighting a Thresher Maw on foot. Multiple times. Doing the improbable or seemingly impossible is basically her whole career at this point. It's what she does.

Fortuna is always described as being capable of granting any wish, but its exact nature is unknown. DEEP DOWN, WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER WANT IT TO BE THE MOST? (examples: an impossibly powerful weapon, a beautiful natural wonder, a cool giant robot.)

Look, as long as it's not three beams of light and a weird looking kid she doesn't really care what it looks like. Kidding again, that's from after her canon point, she doesn't know anything about the ending of ME3.
But maybe it's some sort of super powerful AI or something? It'd kind of fit with how her life's been going for the last few years at least.

SUPERBIA only desires to prove the existence of the Lucky Star; its privateers are free to do whatever they want with it. IF YOUR CHARACTER GOT THE TREASURE, WHAT WOULD YOUR CHARACTER DO WITH IT? WHY DO THEY WANT TO FIND IT?

Shep only has one real goal right now and that's to defeat the Reapers and save her galaxy from being harvested like the cycles before them have been. That's it. Fortuna is her Hail Mary attempt to destroy the Reapers once and for all.

Treasure-hunting is not for the weak of heart. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER WILLING TO RISK, AND WHAT ARE THEY WILLING TO SACRIFICE?

What isn't she willing to surrender? Ultimately, if it keeps her Galaxy safe she'd sacrifice her life without hesitation. Maybe not so much her morals or the lives of other people, but... her own life? Zero hesitation.

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Shepard is a Biotic. Technically by gameplay mechanics she's a Vanguard class. Basically, she's a Space Sorcerer - Someone with a born-in access to a special ability.

Shepard can do a variety of things with this power. Lift other objects and herself, throw things or herself, create shock blasts and shock waves, and a variety of fun Space Magic that... got ignored in the plot, because what if you're playing a Soldier class or a Tech class? Basically telekinesis but with a cool blue glow.
Aside from that, she's very skilled with a variety of guns. Very unskilled at driving or piloting in any manner.
