Canon Point: Post ME2, but if that doesn't jive with other players, I'm good with pretty much anywhere in the second game.
Setting: Mass Effect takes place in the Traverse and Terminus systems on the outlying arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. Between a wide variety of worlds, star systems, and space-stations, it is populated by a rainbow of aliens, criminals, and mysterious happenings.
Personality: Commander Shepard gets it done. She has no qualms about how, she only cares about results. She has a firm hand and a firmer grip on her pistol. Ultimately, however, her firmness comes from the fact that the universe is in danger, and she'll be goddamned if she's going to let anyone else screw up the overall chances of survival.
An Earthborn orphan, she grew up in the obligitorily dark and scary slums, fighting her way and so forth. At the first given opportunity, she decided to get the hell out of dodge and joined up with the Alliance Navy, became a Marine. After an illustrious beginning, and several years of service, she was the sole survivor of a bloody, terrible assault on the planet Torfan. Her command style became clear at this point. Commander Shepard gets the job done, no matter the cost.
Her die-hard loyalty and technical skill in the military arena earned her the privilege of being the first human Spectre, an entity that lives above galactic law as a special agent of sorts. She began her career hunting down and gutting the rogue spectre Saren who had been absorbed into a much larger plot to wipe out organic life in the Galaxy. Naturally, this became the task at hand. After fighting the Reapers directly, quite literally returning from the dead, and fighting the Collectors, their organic minions, Shepard stands ready to take the fight to them, and fucking win.
Abilities and Weaknesses: Shepard's career military with a penchant for taking on aliens several times her own size. Upon her rebirth, in order to reverse some of the effects of explosive decompression, most of her organs were regrown with biotic implants. They don't afford her much by way of usable power, but they do make her harder to kill and more able to take a solid beating.
She possesses a few underdeveloped biotic abilities. These mostly pertain to the ability to throw, lift, or pull items and enemies without actually being closer than a few meters to them. She doesn't utilize them often, as a gun is frequently much more effective and doesn't come with violent migraines and mid-battle downtime.
As far as guns are concerned, her favorite is easily her small side-arm. Whether it's interrogations, shooting at enemies, or just getting a better discount at a store, her pistol has never failed her. Unsurprisingly, this is a quality segue into the next section:
