    open/close all folders 
    Shinji Ikari 

  • Author Avatar: Shinji is, most of the time, a stand-in for EarthScorpion, down to being quite a good gauge for which subjects ES took in high school. EarthScorpion is, however, not above loading ANE!Shinji with character flaws and keeping many of the original ones. (ES' character flaws are very different...)
  • Expy: EarthScorpion has admitted that Shinji has been shaped a lot by Kyon.
  • Only Sane Employee: Lately it seems that preventing two other genius pilots (Rei and Asuka) from catfighting is now a part of his job.
  • Only Sane Man: And his sanity is slowly, slowly being torn apart by the world around him.
  • The Snark Knight: Shinji snarks at everything and everyone, but he mentally beats himself up for unwittingly making fun of disabilities.

    Rei Ayanami 

  • Berserk Button: Rei is precognitive. When Destiny decides to screw her, she loses her composure.
  • Cold Sniper: She was chosen for the role of long-range heavy support for CATO precisely because she is cold.
  • The Comically Serious: Rei is somewhere between this and The Stoic, rather than the Extreme Doormat of canon. There's a number of hints that she knows exactly what is going to happen...and finds it slightly amusing.
  • Creepy Child: This version of Rei is actually creepier than canon; she knows things she shouldn't, and doesn't even appear to think like normal people. That is, more so than usual.
  • Expy: Rei cannot be an expy of Nagato, because in ES' words, "[they are] already seperated at birth."
  • The Fatalist: Comes as a result of her precognition.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: Rei shows this during Operation CATO. Sure, some might say that both prescience and clairvoyance are cheating, but she is undeniably effective.
    "Miss. However, the arcanomagnetic field of the charge beam destabilised the containment arcanomagnetic fields of the ventral 'null rays' mounted on the nose of one of the Swarm Ships. Sadly, that led to the release of a small amount of antimatter, which was enough to totally destroy the ship. No entity survived. Two other Swarm Ships, and a Drone Ship suffered non-negligible hull damage in the blast, although they remain operational. Cooling cycle in process."
  • Psychic Powers: Rei has sensory and precognitive powers and whatever she got from Alma.
  • Race Lift: Rei is a sidoci, a white xenomix. This is not as much having her race changed as having one assigned for once.
  • Tranquil Fury: Rei's "anger" has the temperature of Bose-Einstein condensate.

    Asuka Langley Souryu 

  • Race Lift: Asuka applies makeup twice daily, wears contact lenses and dyes her hair, because of "the other girl" who may or may not simply be a skin colour she doesn't like.

    Misato Katsuragi 

  • Lethal Chef: She hasn't cottoned to the idea of making portions of food for other people separate from hers, so they have to deal with the extreme spiciness of her food.
  • Scars Are Forever: Subverted in that Misato's face was rebuilt after her injury, and you wouldn't know she was even hurt until you tried to be in the same room with her cooking.
  • Unaffected by Spice: Justified in a dark way: because of nerve damage from an old injury, she has almost no sense of smell or taste, and has to spice her food to near-toxic levels to be able to enjoy it.

    Ritsuko Akagi 

  • Mad Scientist: What happens when you combine Canon!Ritsuko's crippling emotional issues with late-stage Aeon War Syndrome? Let's just say it's not pretty.
  • Unusual User Interface: Unfortunately for her, an outdated jack.

    Alice Wade 

    Gendo Ikari
