I'm a university-age guy who lives with his widowed mother and has no social life. What little free time I have outside of school, I spend in front of my laptop reading fanfics and watching anime. I fit the image of a stereotypical otaku very closely. I salivate over spacecraft and mechas as well as preferring sci-fi over fantasy, big time * probably because when I was young, my bitch of a sister forced me to watch entire seasons of Sailor Moon without bothering to tell me that it's for girls; I now have a pathological hate of magical girls. Most of it I aquired via bittorrent due to No Export for You and because I had no way to pay for it. I'm not ashamed of it; I think arbitrarily restricting culture is bull. Sure, people make a living out of it which I have no problem with but since most of that money goes to those who didn't make the stuff but want in on the profits... Or to put it in a different way: I want to pay the creators, not the copyright holders, a.k.a. "why the fuck should they get the dough, they didn't make it!" Make no mistake, I'm not promoting piracy for profit since even I have standards: it's already illegal and those who even get money out of it are the ones who give all pirates a bad rep and deserve to get busted and jailed; I refuse to associate myself with them. In fact, I don't take sides at all since piracy versus copyright is a case of Grey and Gray Morality. Besides, I never gave pirated stuff to anyone nor did I ask for it from anyone; aquisition of copyrighted stuff for personal use is legal in my country.
I absolutely hate darkfics with a passion. I'm already suffering from chronic depression and reading a darkfic (especially one with sexual exploitation) acts like a Despair Emotion Bomb for me. The main reason for this is that I'm extremely imaginative and impressionable: ever since I was a kid, whenever I read a book I subconsciously imagine the scene in my mind, providing perfect immersion. I think that this is a required personality feature to fully understand fiction. You can say that I prefer a happy ending and I won't say a word to the contrary because that's the case. However, don't think I'm all giggles-and-sunshine: I find it easier to identify with angsting characters to the point where my favorite anime is Evangelion especially because I see traits of myself in the kids (loneliness and hopelessness in Rei, insecurity and betrayal in Shinji, hate and apprehension in Asuka).
Well versed in:
Anime
I prefer original sound and English subtitles. I never use subtitles in my native language mainly because most of these series weren't fansubbed.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- My all-time favorite, I first saw episodes 23 and 25 on a satellite broadcast of ORF1 in the early 2000s, didn't understand a word of it since I don't speak German. I first watched the whole series a few years ago and instantly fell in love with it. Watched the Rebuild movies too and it only reignited that love; I informally refer to those movies as "the new series". I'm so smitten with the franchise that I hunted down the only existing (and incomplete) Eva mod to Unreal Tournament 2004 (google "Evarena") and made some tweaking to it. I completely finished off the Evangelion sections of FF.net and Darkscribes.org and now I'm out of reading material. I'm still following Nobody Dies but lately it's just not as exciting as before. OK, it was funny and all but not anymore.
- RahXephon
- This very site introduced me to the series. It HAS some interesting stuff but it's not as good as NGE.
- Full Metal Panic!
- Saw the first two seasons in TV; the third season wasn't dubbed to my language so I watched it on Youtube before it got taken off. I love this one.
- Trigun
- Saw it on TV. Interesting one and has a freakin' awesome English dub.
- Cowboy Bebop
- Ditto. In fact, I think the English dub of this is actually superior to the original sound.
- Gurren Lagann
- HOLY SHIT. This is THE miracle cure for Dark Fic-induced depression.
- Code Geass
- Excellent stuff, watched it all.
- Macross verse
- Watched it all: SDF, Plus, 7 and Frontier (in that order). The original... meh. By today's standards, it'd be better if I don't say anything. 7... meh, again. Basara's fucking awesome and fucking lame at the same time; too much stock footage. Plus... too short. Frontier... now this is a good one.
- To Aru Majutsu no Index verse
- My most recent aquisition. Pretty good.
- Recently watched the second season. What can I say? They successfully managed to up themselves. Accelerator's THE most badass psycho I ever saw in anime.
- Even recently I decided to give a try to the light novels as translated by Baka-tsuki
 but am being held up because Volume 2 (the Deep Blood arc) is only partially translated while the others are complete. Every single one. Even the New Testament. Sure, I could read on but I'm curious how did the author write this scene.
- Gundam 00
- FREAKING AWESOME. Especially since after mid-second season, I was thinking they're gonna pull an ending like the first season finale, only to be rebuked with a happy ending where every good guy lives (well, almost everyone; Tieria's state stretches the definition of "alive").
- And after watching The Movie, I'm a bit unhappy the staff didn't finish the Setsuna/Feldt and Tieria/Mileina plotlines properly.
- Martian Successor Nadesico
- Meh. It's good for laughs but the complete lack of seriousness is just... once again, meh.
- The World God Only Knows
- Really hilarious (hell, Keima even looks like I did before I grew my hair out!) but too un-serious.
TV series
- Battlestar Galactica
- Stargate SG-1
- Watched some of it. WAS dubbed and broadcasted on local channels but I always missed it.
- Stargate Atlantis
- Watched it all, was my favorite for quite some time. They never bothered to dub the later seasons so I got to watch the final episode in all of it's leaked and unfinished glory. Gone off with quite a bang, shame they won't continue*
due to SGU's cancellation, the SGA movie has been \"indefinitely postponed\" (read: officially sunk into development hell) .
- Stargate Universe
- Watched first season and some of the second. I don't see why fans are complaining, IT'S STARGATE so shut up and be happy you have something to watch. Or not, as it's now cancelled due to low ratings; shame on you for not contributing.
Games
When I was younger, I used to beat every game with cheats. Then I discovered the beauty of giving the AI a chance... I'm an RTS fanatic (and notorious turtler), by the way. High-school classmates introduced me to CS but I quickly lost interest in it. I still play FPS games and I favor sniping/ambushing when possible because my reflexes suck. Or at least, they used to suck but thanks to said high-school's dactylography lessons, I now have decent hand-to-eye coordination.
- Command and Conquer verse
- Hoo, boy! Yuri's Revenge was my first computer game EVER. I learned the industry of RTS gaming on this and subsequently branched out. I recently added Red Alert 3 to the list of C&C titles I played; now only Kane's Wrath and Tiberium Twilight are remaining. I also have some modding knowledge in the RA 2/TS engine; it's so easy even my five year old nephew could do it.
- And now said nephew is playing RA 2/3 as well! He's just good enough to beat the AI on Easy; for me, Brutal in RA 2 is a MASSIVE pushover.
- Not anymore on my machine. On 11/06/28, the little fuck insisted so hard I eventually obliged and started the game for him, only to have the laptop overheat and shut down from the strain. I'll break his hand if he touches it again.
- Homeworld verse
- Well-knowledged of this one. My primary fanfic originally started out as original fiction with a background story almost identical to the first Homeworld game; boy, was I pissed when I found out someone already came up with it years before me. HWC is okay, HW 2 is just unfair in terms of difficulty. I recently pulled down the Macross mod for HW 1 and, well... it's much harder (losing 80+ FAST Valkyries in ONE battle?!), so much so that it forced me to use a trainer to actually stand a chance. And the insane amounts of missiles (to take the above example, FAST Valkyries fire salvoes of four; that's 320 missiles each few seconds!!! Armored Valkyries fire even more) are actually causing this 10+ year-old game to lag my machine.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: other than mission objectives and unique (Kadeshi/Pirate) ships, don't capture enemy ships at all.
- Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
- Never completely finished it even though it WAS made by my compatriots. Too bad the sequel is Vaporware.
- Haegemonia
- Another game made by compatriots and an excellent one. First space-based RTS I ever played, finished it completely. Too bad the expansion doesn't have a singleplayer campaign
- Self-Imposed Challenge: in the campaign, only build as many top-class ships as you can carry over to the next mission. The rest of the military quota must be composed of lower classes. For example: if you can carry over four ships and have cruiser technology, only make four cruisers at most; the others must be corvettes or fighters. To make it even more interesting, only build ONE battleship and man it with your main hero. Trust me, massed enemy battleships really give your cruisers a run for their money.
- Metal Fatigue
- Didn't finish this one either but it's VERY good. Those who have never heard of it before should get it somewhere (I don't think there are any legal copies in stores).
- S.W.I.N.E.
- Hehehe, first compatriot game I played. Too bad the studio's defunct.
- Supreme Commander
- First high-spec game of mine. Prefer using fixed artillery to wreak havoc.
- Dawn of War
- My introduction to the WH40K verse (after Shinji And Warhammer 40 K, of course). Played base game and first two expansions.
- Dark Crusade Self-Imposed Challenge: if you're not attacking an enemy stronghold, don't use the ultimate unit (everything that requires a Relic) no matter how tough the enemy is. Makes attacking the Ork main army with the Imperial Guards much fucking more harder, even on Easy difficulty.
- Earth 2150
- Old classic. First played the demo then spent YEARS of playing Super Persistent Predator on the internet, hunting the sucker on torrent networks. Played base game, both expansions and the sequel (which I didn't finish).
- Self-Imposed Challenge: each chassis can only have ONE variation. You're still free to decide what to put on your tanks but once you made the decision, stick with it permanently.
- Mass Effect
- Only played first game but it's good stuff.
- Halo
- Ditto.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: never use Covenant weapons except if you're out of ammo. Even then, you must drop it the instant you find a UNSC weapon.
- Unreal Tournament verse
- Played all games. Played first game and 2004 extensively even though the latter heavily lagged my desktop rig. And behold: it has an Evangelion mod!
- Which I'm re-coding into a mutator, by the way; I have some coding experience in object-oriented C and UnrealScript uses the same code structure. I already managed to get the weapons to spawn normally but it's buggy: the guy who coded it did a crapjob and coded the Evas in the mod to use a different pawn class then referring specifically to that class in the guns' firing function. Due to this, spawning the mod guns without my mutator causes the guns to not fire since the gun can't recognize it's owner. I fixed this by inheriting every single gun into a subclass and overriding the problematic part with a copy that had the owner fixed. Despite the code that handles weapon replacement from vanilla UT 2004 guns into Evarena guns written correctly (at least I think so: all names are correct and the game compiles and runs the code without problems), the game still spawns the "bad" guns on pickup but spawning them via the console gives the fixed guns that all work correctly. I also intend to tweak some of the guns so that they'll function like their show counterparts: for example, instead of having the positron rifle firing lightning on primary and a linkgun beam/towing beam on secondary, I'd have the primary firing shockballs that explode into shock comboes on impact (refer to episode 22) and the secondary expending all remaining ammunition into a single beam whose power depends on how much ammo was available (weaker than a vanilla shockbeam at low ammo, instagib on full ammo). Oh, and the mutator also switches out powerups since my first intention for writing it was to make vanilla maps playable with the mod instead of having to resort to custom maps.
- I need some assistance in making the mod. Evas lack all but the most basic animations which leads to the hilarious sight of an Eva doing the running-forward animation while driving a Scorpion by sticking through the roof.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: prefer using only one, max. two weapons in Tournament mode. And neither can be a rocket launcher but something with much less bang, preferably hitscan (this will force you to improve your accuracy and not always depend on splash damage; in extreme cases, go to CTF-Face, pick up the sniper rifle and No Scope from the tower). Thanks to this, I finally learned how to headshot a bunnyhopping enemy from fifty meters with the Lightning Gun and can now handle Godlike instagibs in the original. 2004 Sniper Rifle sucks ass because even if I shoot the guy in the frakking face, the game won't register it as a headshot because the hitbox is too small to hit.
- Fallout verse
- One of my oldest franchises. First played F2 extensively then F1 for a little time. Spent lots of time on F3 with first, third and fifth DLCs.
- Starcraft verse
- How could I NOT know this? Already beaten it several times but still can't do some missions without cheats no matter what. Even when I do resort to them, I only use the invincibility one like this: if I'm being attacked so hard that losing is imminent*
example: last terran mission, I get two nukes in rapid succession wiping out my northern defense line then a tank batallion hitting right after, all because I haven't built a science vessel yet , I enable the cheat, beat off the attackers then disable the cheat and continue playing normally.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: use weapon/armor upgrades as prerequisites for unit production. For example, no hydras until level 1, no lurkers until level 2 and no ultralisks until level 3.
- Last terran mission: you're restricted to building ONE battlecruiser which you treat as mission-critical. If it gets blown up, reload the game. Last protoss mission: no building battlecruisers at all, you'll have to make due with the Hyperion only. Carriers should also be restricted to 2-3 in the last mission, none in the penultimate mission and just one before that.
- If you really want to have fun, download and install the Gundam Century mod. It completely rewrites game balance from what you're used to.
- Universe At War
- FUCK. YEAH. I really enjoy wreaking havoc with Hierarchy walkers! But when it comes to units, Novus are my favorite.
- Other verses I know: Warcraft (played all except W1; don't even mention WoW if you want to stay on my good side), Oni, Operation Flashpoint (only the very first one), Half-Life (all of it except Decay)
Fanfics written or to be written by me
Ascension
An Evangelion/Half-Life fusion; MIGHT branch into Universe At War later. I've got plenty (few hundred kB of plain text) of notes, including about 300 tropes; what's not already written is subjected to constant editing and revision because frankly, I'm never satisfied with my own work no matter what.//
To get the gist of it:
- It's mainly NGE and HL with some Gurren Lagann thrown in for good measure. There are sprinklings of other verses as well, mainly seen in the Evangelion designs.
- There are an untold number of fics where Shinji gets amplified into a badass and ruthlessly bulldozes his way into victory. Although there ARE some good stuff in them (Shinji and WH40K, anyone?), they are getting a bit repetitive: writers have already started to subtly move away towards other characters like Rei (Nobody Dies and Ayanami: Vengeance being the most triumphant examples).
- Well, I took my own direction too: what if Shinji switched places with Kaworu? And what if Kaworu took lessons of manliness from Kamina? And what if SEELE's plans got messed up because Black Mesa = Second Impact? My verse, that's what. Give Kaworu a Badass Longcoat Knife Nut Rei as best friend, self-aware Evangelions as partners, a very much alive Yui as the head of NERV and Colonel Badass Adrian Shephard: you're all set.
- Current length is four seasons:
- First season is from Kaworu's arrival to Ramiel.
- Second season is from Ramiel to Zeruel.
- Third season is from Zeruel to the Second Battle of Terra (End of Evangelion done in the style of SDF Macross).
- Fourth season deals with the aftermath.
- Here are the personality changes as compared to canon:
- The Evas are all sentient. Their personalities are dependent on the stimuli they're exposed to prior to becoming self-aware. Lilith/Unit-00 is essentially an adult, more extroverted Rei. Adam/Unit-01 is a Deadpan Snarker and a practicer of Zen. Sekhmet/Unit-02 is a Khornate Berserker expy*
they let her read WH40K during development and she figured: if she's a weapon of war, she might as well enjoy it - Kaworu is a hot-blooded guy with a hard case of idealism. He's essentially a Kamina expy, even going so far as to directly quote the guy. It's entirely intentional for him to come across as a Mary Sue. Surprise: he's not. In fact, season 2 reveals he doesn't even come close to saint territory. He's cocky but deep down, he has doubts whether what he's doing is truly the right thing to do. When Asuka calls him out on it, you can guess the result. He has no idea how guns work and is so unskilled and untrained that he frequently improvises in battle, preferring to use the Lance of Longinus as a naginata/quarterstaff hybrid. He essentially runs on Crazy Awesome to survive.
- Asuka has her canon personality preserved, with one exception. She wasn't abandoned by her father after Kyoko's death and has grown up MUCH better. She remembers her mother fondly and has kept one of her possessions as a reminder of what she's lost. So fondly in fact that she pursues a military career precisely so that no one else will have to go through the same thing. She also has an additional secret she kept safe from her father: she's bisexual and an abject nymphomaniac. She's already an ace pilot in conventional mechas, having the secret identity of "the Red Baron", a several-times champion in sport piloting; she's a CQC specialist but has no aversion to using ranged weaponry either. Her fighting style is purely practical, focused on taking out opponents quickly and efficiently. She has mild hyperopia she offsets via glasses; she switches to contacts when in public, of course.
- Rei is essentially her canon personality crossed over with canon!Shinji. She's a loner who doesn't have any friends and never associates with anyone outside work; she's a nihilistic Nietzsche Wannabe who sees no value in herself and directly invokes Who Wants to Live Forever? when asked about it. There's only one exception: she treats her Eva like an older sister. Her outsider status made her a fan of unconventional clothing; namely, lots of black, a heavy trenchcoat, shades, as well as going commando and bra-less. She's an expert marksman and possesses a whole arsenal of knives, swords and firearms including pistols (her favorite are a pair of Mateba Autorevolvers chambered to the highest pistol cartridge there is: the .454 Casull), machine pistols (especially Micro Uzis; she had a pair since she was eight), a sniper rifle (she bought one for her ninth birthday) and a grenade launcher (don't ask...), all of them aquired through illicit means (read: black market). In melee, she prefers the sword with She-Fu, coupled with some Gun Fu.
- Shinji (hasn't appeared yet) has a secret he's forbidden from telling anyone but is eventually revealed to the others against his will. Said secret gives him frequent migraines and mild epilepsy but in return he's a freakin' genius, having already earned a master's degree in robotics and a minor in computer science. He works for Gehirn under Gendo as a designer but he's not allowed to have any friends so he's a Shrinking Violet, just like his canon counterpart. Despite his job requiring him to design weapons of war, he has an extreme opposition to violence; he does it anyway however because he wants to have a use to his father. When he was young, he fell victim to a polio outbreak and lost use of his legs; he's currently the constant user of a motorized wheelchair. He's old childhood friends with Rei and is very eager to meet her all grown up.
- Yui and Gendo were the co-founders of the AEL. During one of their less-than-legal projects however, Gendo crossed a certain line and invoked Yui's wrath on himself; they divorced and he quit the AEL, taking Shinji with him and founding Gehirn. He's still as cold to his son as before. Yui on the other hand coped with Shinji's loss by adopting Rei; she's a rabid workaholic and spent more time with work than with Rei, leading to the girl's psychological state.
- The Half-Life verse's legendary badass Adrian Shephard is an OC Stand In main cast member of the fic. He's Asuka's father and a Papa Bear. He's essentially a Jack O'Neill expy: snarky, doesn't understand a word of technobabble, not much for protocol, never pulls rank to make his subordinates do suicidal jobs, etc.
Ascension - New Testament
Evangelion / Universe At War crossover, to be written as a sequel to Ascension. I've got this one planned too but no spoilers, sorry. All I say is that the story takes place in 2057 with the two OCs making cameo appearances during Israfel as main characters.
The Evangelion Odyssey
An Evangelion/Battlezone crossover partially inspired by Hakaima Sadamitsu.
- Background
- In 2015, the public is still kept in the dark about the Biometal War of 1969. The AAN is making sure the existence of biometal, the Cthonians and the Furies stays unknown. This ban was partially lifted after Second Impact where a limited technological disclosure occured; non-military technologies like hovercraft technology were released for civilian use.
- Immediately after Second Impact, scientists realized that the Impact rendered the Earth tectonically unstable. Minor earthquakes are a common daily occurance and volcanoes are active all around the year. Those areas that weren't flooded by the increased sea level are battered by tsunamis. Therefore, the AAN enacted the Atlantis Project aimed at creating massive floating cities for humanity to live in.
- Tokyo-3 is the prototype of the project, including carrying the prototype Avalon System (the in-universe equivalent of the MAGI) created to control these cities.
- Technological background
- NERV is funded by the ISDF to create the next-generation combat vehicle, the Evangelion-class Powered Armor. This weapon system is composed mainly of biometal with all of it's advantages, including easy maintenance and EDD armor. What the ISDF doesn't know however is that this isn't ordinary biometal, but Biometal Strain Five, the same material Furies are made of.
- As you know, the Cthonians and the CCA created Furies by imbuing BS 5 with human DNA to induce an aggression factor; these Furies however proved to be impossible to control as they indiscriminately attack everything and everyone, deriving sadistic glee from pain and destruction. Taking Fury research to the next level, NERV substituted human DNA with Angel DNA; the resulting Evangelions are essentially Angel/Fury hybrids.
- Evangelions are not, however, completely safe. They hate everything and everyone, especially themselves for what they are. While active, the only thing that keeps an Evangelion's destructive impulses in check is the pilot's subconscious; if cut off from it (the pilot goes unconscious or the Evangelion is shut down improperly), the Evangelion will go berserk and lapse into an omnicidal rage.
- Control is done via a highly experimental neural interface created by ISDF scientists, expected to go into service in 2015.
- While an Evangelion is much smaller than other ISDF vehicles, it compensates for that with its extreme mobility: it's equipped with a smaller version of the same hovercraft technology used by most ISDF and Scion tanks, enabling it to perform acrobatics nigh-impossible for its size. Additionally, it has a built-in M-Curtain emitter, making it capable of deflecting an incoming tank shell away without damage.
- Weaponry consists of a multitude of weapon hardpoints across the body: dual-barreled miniguns on the right wrist (Unit-02 has a Pummel Gun instead), an MDM Mortar on the underside of the right forearm, a missile hardpoint on the left shoulder and a reverse-engineered Scion stasis shield on the left forearm. They also have an integrated RED Field and Phantom VIR but they can't use both at the same time and the latter only works for a limited time.
- Characters
- Yui was involved in the development of the Evangelions, just like in canon. She volunteered to test Unit-01 while she was nine months pregnant with Rei; when she was absorbed, Rei was left behind in a bizarrely reversed version of childbirth. This also infused Rei with biometal, rendering her part human, part Angel, part Scion and part Fury.
- Gendo sent away Shinji (who wasn't told about Rei) the next day and raised Rei on his own. Due to her inner nature, Rei became a cold, passive-aggressive girl. Gendo hit some difficulties in reining her in with threats as her Fury origins makes Rei very short-tempered and stubborn; he learned the tricks of the trade in manipulation by controlling her in such a way to avoid accidentally provoking a temper tantrum which might very well prove fatal to him.
- Shinji (Gender Flipped) grew up into a snarker tomboy. As I wrote above, she didn't know that she has a younger sister; she didn't even know Yui was pregnant at the time of her death. When Rei's existence is revealed, Shinji doesn't know what to think. Rei simply denies their relation and maintains a cold hostility towards the older girl. This hostility is motivated by fear: Rei knew about Shinji all her life and fears that Shinji came back to take their otōsama away from her. Gendo knows this and purposely manipulates the sisters against each other so that they can't team up against him.
- Despite what may be expected from her gender, Shinji finds herself more comfortable around the stooges doing boyish things (inspiration here is Makoto Konno from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time).
- Asuka (also Gender Flipped) is a Large Ham who treats his job of killing Angels as the awesomest job ever. He frequently tries to show off in order to impress the girls while at the same time loudly proclaiming that this job "belongs to real men, not little girls". Shinji simply thinks he's nuts. Also, Asuka is an abject pervert and frequently tries peeping at Shinji whenever possible; Shinji knows this and always takes measures to prevent it.
- Later on, a Love Dodecahedron develops: Hikari realizes that she has a crush on both Touji and Asuka while Asuka is crushing on Shinji who's oblivious to it. This leads to repercussions before Arael.
- As noted above, Rei is hostile to Shinji. This hostility changes to confusion after Bardiel when she realizes Shinji has no intention of associating with their father and didn't came back to take him away. When Gendo attempts to sacrifice Rei against Armisael, the girl survives but doesn't trust her anymore; when Kaworu befriends and tries to covertly eliminate Shinji, Rei decides to start acting like the sister she is and comes running, revealing that she's just as strong inside her Eva as outside it.
The Evangelion Odyssey 2: Forgotten Enemies
Evangelion / Infinite Stratos crossover, to be written as a sequel to TEO. Limited information available to avoid spoiling.
- Characters
- Shinji and Asuka are main characters replacing Ichika and Houki respectively, but these are not the same ones as in TEO. Consequently, they are not genderflipped but retain their canon personalities. Rei (the original TEO one, although over a hundred years old) is cast as co-inventor of the IS with Tabane although many believe she's a fictional person made up by Tabane to downplay her contribution to the IS project; this is further reinforced by the fact that Rei was supposedly never seen by anyone other than Tabane because they use Kaworu as their envoy. Rin is switched out with Mayumi but otherwise the entire Stratos cast are cast in their canon roles.
- Setting
- Same as in Stratos except that Shinji is the guy sent to the IS Academy. Then the Angels start attacking and everyone's confused as hell.
Other fanfic ideas I probably won't get to writing
Code Red
A Red Alert 2/Code Geass crossover.
At the end of WW 2, the Allies imposed pretty heavy restrictions on Soviet tank production so Yuri worked around the problem: instead of designing the Apocalypse tanks, he invented the first Knightmare Frame in the Ural reserach facility, the Рк-71 Памир (Allied reporting name: Fenrir). During the war itself, the Soviets did extensive Geass research on Stalin's orders, eventually culminating in Yuri breaking the rules and aquiring a Code and two Geasses. Yuri's Geasses are: Lelouch's but purely voice-activated and Mao's but limited to within earshot of the target; both operate through phones and other machinery but only in real-time so no Geassing people through recordings. The Allies are caught by complete surprise and are steadily falling back until Einstein invents his own Knightmare Frames (Mk.I Pendragon) and the playing field is a bit more even, though the Soviets still retain technical superiority. This changes in the Yucatan operation when the SEAL team not only destroys the research facility but Suzaku (who's a member of the team) hijacks the prototype Xк-72 Волга (Allied reporting name: Jörmungand) which the Allies quickly deliver to Germany for reverse-engineering. Thanks to Suzaku's efforts, the desperate Soviet counterattack on Black Forest is repelled and Allied Knightmares experience a massive technological leap forward while the Soviets' suffer due to the loss of the Yucatan research data. Einstein's new Knightmares (Mk.III Galatine) are field-tested in Cuba during the initial Chronosphere deployment after which Suzaku and Tanya/Kallen are put into an upgraded version of the Knightmare Suzaku jacked (rechristened Heimdall) and dropped into Moscow to start Operation Chrono Storm, using the reinforcements as distraction while they bulldoze their way through the Kremlin Elite Guard led by Boris (who's a Knightmare ace in this fic) and composed of the few completed mass-production models of the very same Knightmare that Suzaku hijacked, the Рк-72 Саратов (Allied reporting name: Niddhögg).
Code Red 2
C&C Yuri's Revenge/Code Geass crossover, sequel to Code Red.
After the war, shit really hits the fan. Yuri was the one behind Soviet Knightmare research which means that his faction has stuff far exceeding those of the Allies and Soviets, including Geass-enhanced pilots. While time travelling manages to eliminate some of this problem, the only thing that can fight his troops on equal terms is the Allied Mk.IV Arondight and the Soviet Pк-72ф Воронеж. This season also has Boris and his new sidekick permanently teaming up with the Suzaku+Tanya/Kallen pair (speaking of which, there's some pretty heavy Belligerent Sexual Tension going on between Suzaku and Tanya/Kallen).
Evangelion 2150
Evangelion/Earth 2150 crossover.
NERV is backed and operated by the Lunar Corporation, using the under-construction evacuation ship as their base of operations. Their main modus operandi is landing on Earth, killing the Angel in question then bailing out before local forces arrive. The ED and the UCS doesn't really care about preventing Third Impact since, you know, the planet's gonna be destroyed anyway. What only SEELE and Gendo know however is that 3I could be used to knock Earth back to orbit before the cataclysm.
Shinji, aside from fighting in the war, also has to contend with the difficulties of living in a society where he as a man is a second-class citizen (Asuka gives him lots of shit over this). Were it not for SEELE's backing, Gendo (an ex-ED defector) wouldn't stay in command of NERV for long either.
My tropes
- Absent-Minded Professor - in some cases, I forgot what the other person said five seconds ago
- Berserk Button - being treated unfairly
- Butt Monkey - seven consecutive fucking years of being bullied by everyone around me in every single school I've gone to and all of the assholes calling themselves teachers ignoring it is something you guys shouldn't envy
- Interesting facet: ever thought being bullied is bad? How about being bullied by your elementary school homeroom teacher? (I actually switched schools because of this, not that it prevented the bitch from targeting one of my buddies instead)
- Cannot Spit It Out - the reason why I swore off relationships in the first place
- Celibate Hero - type 5. And it's not like I have anyone to turn down either since I'm rude and ugly as the devil*
quick description of my physical appearance: no visible muscle mass, elbow-length tangled brown hair, steel blue eyes behind glasses, somewhat plump face with almost a dozen birthmarks (three of which actually form a perfect regular triangle pointing directly at my left eye) - Centipede's Dilemma - I experienced several occasions in calculus class where I stared at the current lesson for a while and suddenly got the correct answer. Problem is, I had no idea how I knew that which is a problem when it comes to exams which of course require detailed proof. Cranked Up to Eleven when it comes to computers.
- Chaotic Neutral
- Cloudcuckoolander - I can pretty much be described as someone who never grew up. Problem is, everyone thinks it's Obfuscating Stupidity when in truth it's not. Even if I tell them otherwise, they won't believe me anyway so it's not worth the effort to try and convince them. It's their loss.
- Cold Sniper - if I'd have a gun, of course (though I'm sure no sane person would trust me with one)
- Genius Cripple - not exactly: officially I only have scoliosis and kyphosis (spinal defects) as well as minor knee abrasion
- Hikikomori - I'm REALLY not the social type; not only I don't even step out of the house outside school time, I actually feel physical discomfort directly proportional to the amount of company
- Example: if in company, most people would prefer to talk with others to pass the time; I'd prefer to crawl into a closet and curl up in the farthest corner, MP 4 player in both ears at just enough volume to make everything else inaudible
- Jerkass Façade
- Laughing Mad - if randomly giggling to myself for no obvious reason doesn't fit this trope, I don't know what does
- Nerd Glasses - higher end of low myopia
- Otaku - heh. I only know a single person who shares my interests in anime and TV series but even he doesn't take it this far. I actually bought a 1 TB external hard drive for storing anime; it's currently 27% full.
- Perverse Sexual Lust - quite a few
- Long hair. Blonde hair optional but preferred.
- Short stature (I'm not tall either)
- Pettanko (NOT lolicon; I don't like a big age difference between involved parties)
- Meganekko
- Shrinking Violet (two of a kind...)
- Most important of all: I don't freakin' care about physical attractiveness. The smarter they are, the better.
- The Quiet One
- The Smart Guy - according to most of my acquaintances, anyway; none of my close environment and extended family had gone further than high school while I have a software engineering course and am a university drop-out
- Thinking Out Loud - not just thinking, I'm actually fairly good at fluently conversing with myself at a normal volume when no one's around; if they are around, I switch to whispering or even miming but as long as they can't see my mouth, I keep babbling under my breath. And I didn't even mention yet that I do this in English which is not even my native language!
- Videogame Caring Potential - most of the time. No Casualties Run with Save Scumming is default for me if it means non-combatants will make it.
- Yuri Fan - I'm not averse to it
Long story short, I'm a pretty fucked up person. And no, I wasn't exaggerating or making things up above.
