I know, I had to take a trip in The Way-back Machine to find this thread but forgive me; the topic just looks like fun!
My Shepard's Condo? Alright, my Shepard has been career military most of his life but life in the armed forces isn't the only thing that defines him. So when he does get those rare moments when he's not saving the galaxy from imminent destruction and can "go home" he heads to a place where he can relax and connect with his other interests.
Shepard is a builder/fixer. He's good with his hands and likes to restore old machines called motorcycles. He's got a place on Earth, in the outskirts of The Twin Cities. The neighborhood is a bit industrial and his home doesn't look like much to the passer-by, an old converted garage, but inside, the comfortable mismatching furniture, collection of old signage covering the walls and industrial kitchen are just what he needs to feel at home. The best part is the neighbors, Alex and Marta. Happily retired, they watch over Shepard's place while he's away. When he comes back Alex is a great help with the motorcycle and Marta continues their lessons in Shepard's other passion, cooking.
It couldn't be any more different than his life as a Spectre in the farthest ends of the galaxy but that's just how he likes it.
