Commander Shephard

Many players choose to go with a male Commander Shepard, whether because they themselves are male or because thats whos been portrayed on the games covers. But Femshep, as the female Shepard has become known, has picked up steam over the course of the series to become, arguably, a better choice. Playing as a female changes the lens through which you view the Mass Effect universe, and besides, Jennifer Hale is a much better actor than whoever plays Maleshep.
