As a recently full fledged troper I wish to ponder: Are there others here who wish to combine drama and angst with sheer brutality? Who wish to flesh out a character who is constantly on the brink of extinction? I am not speculating upon what could be or what I hope to come, I am here to propose a...a game.

I wish to experience a roleplaying system I have recently read through, Adeptus Evangelion as you must have already guessed. I know these forums are unused to actual systems outside of d6 games, or so I've been told, but hope that this stigmata will not hold those truly adventurous back from what I'm sure will be an interesting experience.

I am willing to GM this experiment. I hope that someone will replace me, someone with some experience in G Ming this system or Dark Heresy as it is directly modded from that system, so that I might enjoy this experience more directly but would not be disgruntled if no one else is up to the task.

The material links are located in above link

If enough interest is shown then characters will begin being generated, as will the evas and Nerv staff. The location of the headquarters is up to a vote, it being able to be placed anywhere that would be logical after the 2nd Impact. Evangelion canon after the 2nd Impact is mostly void, with the main characters not being present unless taken as a PC, with my or the G Ms permission (if applicable)

My interest is piqued. I've played Adeptus Evangelion before, and I found it a very good indie conversion, with a very appropriate tone for NGE. I'm not sure if I'd have enough time, but if enough other people express interest, I'd definitely make some room.

My Eva RP has slowed considerably. I'd like to find my fix somewhere.

Very good, some interest in this far removed fandom. I've worked on the setting a little, taking the city of london presented in the book and altering it a tad to keep it spicy

Re-Bump. I'm back after noticing the delayed responses (I sort of assumed it was a no go)

If you still hold interest in this subject, please repost with your interest and any character ideas you have

Hmmmm, I'd really like this to happen, for one.

Let's see... well I was thinking a Manufactured. Already played a Neo-Spartan and a Prodigy doesn't really suit me I think. I'm not sure what direction I want to go with my character yet though, because I don't really like the Emotionless Girl vibe that Rei has. I mean, it's great for the series, but not for an RP.

Any ideas for other ways a Manufactured might work out?

Manufactured can hold a range of emotions just as well as any normal pilot. The thing is though that the shock of realising that you are artificial causes mental issues that are oh so loved by this genre. Personally I would pick a single emotion and bump it up to 11, then try and find a way for the manufactured to deal with it. Rei dealt with it, in my oppinion, by allowing Nerv to desensitize her from the world. An example could be one manufactured pilot feeling hollow on the inside because of their lack of 'soul', and tries to fill this hollowness with food. Their bodies expell all the negitives however, and never gains weight. Here we have a manufactured unit feeling despair over their emptiness, a dependance on food, and damaged goods.

You can get a lot more in depth then what I just did, and if you need information please feel free to ask

The sourcebook suggests sociopathy in addition to autism. There are any number of mental disorders appropriate for unnatural upbringings, as well.

indeed, though these can be placed on any character. Ultimately its how your characters history affected their lives, and what scars it placed onto them

[up][up][up]Wow. Never thought of a Manufactured like that! surprised That's a damn creative concept right there!

[up][up]&[up] I'm not sure about sociopathy. It would make an interesting character, but I'm not sure if I want to play a character like that when Eva and AE are both so based on character interaction.

Hmmmm, might have one. A Manufactured who was either created to be the ultimate pilot, or simply thinks he was. Kinda like a Super-Soldier concept, but for genetically engineered pilots. Suffers from the normal lack of self-importance, he's just a living weapon, that sort of thing. Let me look at the character creation section of the PDF to see if I want to go for Sociopathy or anything like that if it fits with the character.

Sound good?

Okay, working on the stats and everything but I've run into a few problems, mainly stemming from my lack of Dark Heresy. Last time I played, the GM had the rulebook and we used that. Do you possess a copy when we need to check Dark Heresy?

probably not, I'd assume that s/he choose to relay info, not to join though I may be wrong.

Now then...Three things:

1. Is everyone who is joining this okay with london? I'm in the stage of development that a change now wouldn't be destructive to the game.

2. I would like for participating players to post characters as soon as possible. This can be the bare skeleton, seeing as how the plot isn't known to you. I would also request the Evas be finished as well. The rolls for this game will be done using Invisible Castle, or by me personally if you are uncomfortable with that site.

3. I will be giving out additional items based off of history and character development. Everyone will get something, but what you get is based off of my whim

alrighty then. I'm hoping to keep the speed of thing game about a post a day, but since I'm having computer troubles It may mean I'll sporatic in my posting. I'm close to a library though, so I think I can handle that time frame

Skeleton here!

Name: Gabriel Leuctius

Age: 16 years since dubbed "Alive".

Appearance: Caucasian, with light brown hair. His skin is very pale, due to most of his childhood being spent inside in some way(usually in a glass tank). His eyes are a sharp electric blue, and are slightly unsettling. He goes for long periods without blinking.

Backstory: Gabriel was not born, but grown. One of the early problems NERV faced was it's lack of pilots. Eva's could be made, they reasoned, but pilot's could not.

Their R&D department proved them wrong.

Gabriel was literally born to be the ultimate soldier and pilot, right down to his genome. His entire life, from his first moments of consciousness in his glass tank to the present day, has resolved around nothing more than preparation for piloting the Eva's. He was privately educated(with a bent towards tactics and command) and has only begun attending actual school recently. His Evangelion tests have showed he has a remarkable knowledge of the intricacies of the AT Field, not a surprise, since he has been studying them since birth.

Personality: Being raised in almost complete isolation from anyone not in NERV or the military has had a curious effect on Gabriel. The constant talk of him being "born to pilot" and "the greatest possible soldier" have made him view himself as a living weapon: a resource, not a person. He callously disregards his own self worth, instead viewing everyone else as more valuable than him. After all they're actually people.

With little social access to others, and no contact with anyone his own age until recently, Gabriel is severely lacking in basic social skills. Since his only knowledge of most of the world is academic in nature, he tends to not know what people are talking about. His speech is utilitarian in style, never saying more than needs to be said.

  • Background: Manufactured.
  • Career: AT Tactician

Hmmm, not much of a skeleton.

Gabriel's Eva: Unit Whatever

  • Distinguishing Features:
    • Soul: Skittish
    • Mutation: Cranial Horn(aww yeah!)
    • Construction: Weapon Rack
    • History: Flagship

  • Color scheme:
    • Primary: Dull Grey
    • Secondary: Dark Blue

I'll PM you the nitty-gritty number stuff and traits so that they're not clogging up the page. Do you want me to post Traits, Assets, etc.?

post what you want here, send me the finished and properly arranged characters in PM format with the title reading "Character Name (Career), Player Name"

For the Evas make sure to link to invisible castle for your roles. I doubt you will fudge your rolls, but the honor system escapes me still. Also if we have less then 3 Pilots and 1 Directer I will create some npcs, just to keep this rolling. There is no definate cutoff date, but I'm hoping to start by the end of this week
