I was reading up info on ME and found out that Sheppard was based on this guy.

You learn something new everyday.

then what does my sheppard look like?

You, probably.

nah not really. I just put him together randomally. But i can't help but get the feeling that he looks like a certain celeberity I've seen somewhere.
