[[folder:James Vega]]
!James Vega
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vega_6602.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: Not supposed to salute you, either.]]

-->'''Voiced by''': Freddie Prinze Jr.

The first confirmed new party member. Vega is a lieutenant in the Alliance Marines. He stars in the short comic ''Mass Effect: Conviction'', which ends with Anderson appointing him Shepard's guard while s/he is in the brig post-''Arrival''.

[[hardline]]
* AudienceSurrogate: Although Vega is a seasoned soldier, he doesn't know much about galactic politics, allowing the other characters to explain the plot to new players.
* {{Badass}}: Establishing him as one is pretty much the entire point of the ''Mass Effect: Conviction'' tie-in comic, which among other things has him jumping with a batarian out of a 3rd story window.
* BarBrawl: Ends up getting in a fight with a bunch of batarians in an Omega bar after he breaks a TV because of it playing a news story about the events of the Arrival DLC.
* TheBigGuy: More muscular than the other human squad members. Has been confirmed to be based more on survivability than the other soldier squad member.
* CastingGag: Freddie Prinze Jr previously played an intergalactic soldier in the ill fated Film/WingCommander film.
* DelinquentHair
* FanNickname: Even before [=ME3's=] release, he's inherited [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFHlJ2voJHY the many names of David Ryder.]]
* HeroicBSOD: He had one after an incident at Fehl, which led to him temporarily leaving the marines for Omega.
* HeroWorshipper: To Shepard.
* NaiveNewcomer: A subversion, as despite his lack of knowledge about galactic politics, he's an experienced soldier.
* SpaceMarine
* TheWatson
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally named James Sanders. His surname was probably changed to Vega to avoid fan theories about a relation to tie-in novel character Kahlee Sanders.
