James Vega can be an easy character to overlook, in Mass Effect 3. Heâs just another human guy, and the final game in the trilogy is the first time he appears. He hides out down in the Normandyâs cargo bay, a little out of the way when Shepardâs just making the rounds.
But James Vega, too, is a character with feelings, hopes, and dreams, and one particular artist on Tumblr has been having a bit of fun with a packet of crayons and this space marineâs inner life.
In The Adventures of James Vega (rad dude) and More Adventures of James Vega (cool bro), we get an up-close and personal look at day-to-day life as one of Shepardâs crew.
So much of Mass Effect is so gut-wrenchingly serious that itâs nice to see a sillier take. But no matter how crayon-scribbled the note, Mr. Vega and I clearly agree on one thing: banshees are a definite Do Not Want.
A selection of scenes from both adventures can be found here; scope out the original posts for more.
