Essentially, this will cover the events of the original anime. However, there are some crucial differences in the backstory of the universe. Second Impact, of course, has occured, which resulted in the death of half the human population. Most events are the same as canon. However, Yui was not the one to test Eva-01 due to several schedualing errors, therefore she was not absorbed into the Evangelion. Her later death was due to unrelated circumstances. Gendo and Shinji's relationship is also far better in this version of the universe.

However, there's still the soul of a child's mother in each Evangelion. The Angels are still coming, NERV still is in much the same state as it was in canon, for the most part the universe is the same as it is in canon.

But these changes have led to different children being selected to pilot the Evangelions.

R Pers will be playing these pilots, and of course some of NERV's officers and technicians.

So, um, yeah, Interest Check time! This is actually a relaunch of an RP I made before, but it kind of died, so... um... here's to trying it again!

I'd like to be part of this again. The first time around was fun, and I kinda want to make up for kinda contributing to it dying. >.<

Would like to try being a pilot this time, though, if that's okay.

Sure, that's no problem at all.

So, counting my intent to play the first pilot, that's two pilots down.

I'm debating on what to do as far as the number of pilots goes, this time. Since... issues arose from using five Evas before.

FFFFFFFFF WHY DO YOU INSIST UPON FILLING UP MY LIST OF ACTIVE RPS? D:

Fine, interest shown. But I'm gonna have to pull the plug on some other, less interesting ones to make room. TRAGICALLY COMPLEX CHARACTERIZATION AWAY!

Right, so...

At the moment, it looks like there will be three Evas. Everyone else will get Bridge Bunny or other roles.

  • Name: Akagawa Kokoro
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: What do you think? *
  • Appearance: Physically, she's around 5' 3'', 129 lb., curved frame. She's fairly well developed for someone her age, almost reaching Misato's measurements. Her hair is straight and black, and ends just above her shoulders. She does wear a blue and pink flower hairpin, for reasons even she can't really comprehend. Her eyes are hazel, and it's said she has a very beautiful face. A romantic would probably refer to her as something like "a vision". When she's not in her school uniform or plugsuit, she'll usually be wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
  • Occupation: Student, pilot of Unit 02
  • Skills: Athletically and intellectually gifted, Kokoro has impressive stamina and flexibility, and is strong for a girl her size and age. She enjoys archery, and considers it her primary sport of choice. She reads much more quickly than the average person, and has a sharp memory. However, she and the arts have a rather shaky relationship, one which mostly involves her sucking at them.
  • Personality: Kokoro is nothing if not blunt. She'll let you know what she thinks of you almost immediately if asked, and she isn't afraid of being honest, brutally so. She's greedy, domineering, and very, very vain, almost like an animal. That's because Kokoro is a very primal sort of person, almost a sort of man-beast in her own right. The way Kokoro sees the world, if you don't dominate other people, other people will dominate you. And Kokoro refuses to be dominated. She displays blatant disregard for authority, aggression and attempted establishment of dominance in all social situations, and is what normal people would call a sociopath, showing little regard for others' feelings or safety. Her behavior in any kind of combat or competition in and out of the Eva can be described as nothing but brutal, merciless, utterly exploitative, and totally redefining of the phrase "excessive display of force".
  • Background: Kokoro had a very... shaky home life. What, with the spineless father and abusive, controlling alcoholic mother who, let's be honest, pretty much had diplomatic immunity thanks to her status as a researcher for NERV. Life was kinda shit for poor little Kokoro. Then things got interesting. One night, momma goes off crazier than usual. Daddy grabs the frying pan to protect himself. She doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, her watching, she breaks a bottle over his head, gouging out his left eye, and partially disembowels his shredded small intestine. She turns to her and says, "We won't tell anyone about Daddy's little accident, will we Ko-chan?" And then, in an absolute stunning display of Abuse Is Okay When It’s Female on Male and abuse of diplomatic immunity, she gets away with murder. Kokoro hated her for that. She hated having her life be controlled by this heinous, thieving woman. She knew that momma would punish her for disobeying her or telling the authorities the real story though, so she suffered and hated in silence. Then, one day during testing, her greatest dream came true. The Eva killed her mother. An event that should've been traumatic, scarring, soul-shattering even, was the greatest relief of Kokoro's life. Years and years of state foster care and a few trips in and out of an institution, Kokoro, against her therapist's recommendation (but who gives a shit about therapists), tried out for pilot of an Eva unit. The same that killed her mother (for obvious reasons to us, but of course unknown to her). This thing that killed her mother... if she could control it, she thought, make it bend to her will, then she would finally conquer her mother. She'd be in control. The Eva started up, and Kokoro finally knew that she had conquered her mother. Thus began her life at NERV.
  • Other: Likes ice cream, but only from a cone. Doesn't like popsicles. Her birthday is on July 12th. Her favorite things to do are play videogames (although her therapist has, somewhat futilely, barred her from playing fighting games), practice archery or spar, and watch fireworks (the bigger, the better). It is somewhat common knowledge (and a bit of a Running Gag with NERV higher ups, thanks to their impressive security detail) that Kokoro has attempted to assault Gendo at least once in the past.

My take on the stereotypical Blood Knight. Enjoy. Also, if we can have a vote in these things, can I please get a white and black color scheme for her plugsuit and Eva?

Found it! grin

Name: Taihou Ysanne

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Occupation: JSDF Experimental Pilot for Jet Alone (Project 2), on lone to NERV

Appearance: Ysanne is around 5'9 in height, with light blue/green eyes. She is noted for having a mature face and looking slightly older than she really is. Having undergone the various surgeries and cybernetic additions to her body, she no longer has biological hair, and thus wears a wig over her bald head. This is to cover the very obvious metal plate that is attached to the back of her skull with several plugs for connectors. Down her spine is also a series of connectors, to allow her to properly connect to Jet Alone, which cannot use the same connection system as the Evas.

Personality: More than a bit trigger happy really sums up Ysanne when she gets into a fight. She is also noted for saying “There is no such thing as overkill, only 'Open Fire' and 'I need to reload'”. Out of the cockpit she is just as aggressive and headstrong, not afraid to take the lead. Piloting a 35,000 ton robot most likely does that to you. But at home she does have problems. She turned her back on her family when she went into the Military as a volunteer, with her family having a long history of refusing military service. Thus with her enlisting, she burned her bridges, thus leaving her alone. Any friends she makes she treasures greatly, but losing them can really affect her.

History: Ysanne grew up in a sheltered family, which managed to avoid the worst of the various calamities which befell humanity in the past twenty years. Her family has had a staunch anti-military outlook for most of their lives, and thus tried to never allow her to see anything they did as good. But when she started going to school, they couldn't stop her from seeing both sides of the issues. But the family's staunch outlook only hid the rancor and infighting at home, which Ysanne as she grew older despised.

When she enlisted...well that caused a little bit of upheaval at home. She promptly packed her things, marched out the door and didn't look back. Her military training was several months of absolute hell, but she got through it.

She was scouted for the Jet Alone program, along with several other fresh recruits. They needed younger pilots for their bodies were still growing and thus might be able to adjust better to the surgical changes needed.

Ysanne accepted.

Losing the ability to grow hair was a side effect of her surgeries, but one she was happy to pay. When you get to pilot a giant robot and squash things flat, what's not to like? She figured.

Model number: JSDF-JA-M2

Code name: Jet Alone 2nd

Unit type: Anti-Angel and Evangelion Support Mecha

Manufacturer: JSDF along with support from the United States

Operator(s): JSDF, NERV

Accommodation: Single pilot in LCL cockpit, housed under head unit. Pilot requires surgical additions to pilot.

Dimensions: Around the same height as Jet Alone

Weight: max gross weight 35,000 metric tons

Construction: Titanium internal skeleton, supports outer armor. Armor made up of Titanium allow with ceramic composites.

Powerplant: Single Nuclear Fission Reactor, housed in armored main torso. 2 x Large Capacitor mounted on back. 2 x Small Capacitor mounted on legs.

Fixed armaments:

2 x GAU-8 30mm 7-barrel gatling gun, mounted in head alongside communications mohawk. Fed from internal ammunition hoppers.

4 x 300mm 8-tube Multiple Launch Rocket System, 1 mounted in each shoulder housing and one in each leg.

2 x 10-tube cruise missile launcher, launches Tomahawk cruise missiles, mounted in chest.

2 x 20-tube cruise missile launcher launches Tomahawk cruise missiles, mounted on back capacitors.

Optional fixed armaments:

2 x 300mm 48 tube MLRS, mounted on side skirt armor hard-points or shoulder hard-points.

2 x 155mm 4-barrel machine gun, drum fed, attach to outer shoulder hard-point.

Optional hand armaments:

1 x 75mm Railgun, fires Tsungsten projectiles. Fed from ten round eject able magazine. Powered by backpack capacitors and internal reactor.

2 x Pallet Rifle, same as used by the Evangelions

2 x Bazooka, same as used by the Evangelions

1 x 910mm Break Action Howitzer. Fires N2 Warheads as standard. Uses side skirt armor ammunition containers.

1 x Thor's Hammer

The Jet Alone project was split into two parts. The first part was the 'public' face. An unmanned machine with a powerful hammer that could squash an Angel and thus wouldn't need the Evas.

But the other project was the more realistic Jet Alone. It was accepted that without an AT Field (or the ability to neutralize it, Jet Alone would be a failure alone. Thus, the project was designed as a supporting unit, meant to work with the Evas. The Evas' greatest weakness of course is the 5 minute power reserve, so the 2nd Jet Alone was designed with a more powerful reactor that could supply energy to one via a cable and keep an Eva running even if it was cut off from Tokyo 3. If an Eva could bring down the AT field on an Angel, then 2nd Jet Alone could assist with heavy conventional weaponry until the core was exposed and dealt with.

The biggest problem was hiding Jet Alone from both the first project and NERV, who honestly no one trusted. A few project leads openly thought that NERV might pull something.

It helped that the first Jet Alone did look like a walking disaster, with exposed control rods. That was just asking for trouble.

The 2nd Jet Alone is considerable different in design from the first. It has a more humanoid appearance, complete with head. Also, it's entire reactor and control rods are housed inside the heavily armored torso, thus no danger of them getting damaged. What it does have exposed are a pair of cables that run around it torso to the battery connector on its back, and then to the cable that would lead to an Eva.

Mounted on its back is a pair of massive capacitors, which supply the internal energy needed for any of the highly experimental weaponry the machine packs around. Due to the extreme heat these give off, they have cone-like cooling units attached to the bottom. Another smaller pair of them are attached to the legs, to give it further power boosts.

The 2nd Jet Alone is much heavier built than the first, with thick limbs and massive feet, making it look much stockier (one scientist described it as a tank that grew a pair of legs). Its head is squat and round, like a military helmet. It has several optical sensors all tied together in one unit that runs on a track, giving the impression of a cyclops. Also mounted on the head is a massive mohawk like antenna, which not only contains all its communications gear but also a set of sensors to help it lock onto its opponent.

The cockpit of the machine uses LCL, but not for the connection purposes it is used in the Evas. Instead, it is to cushion the pilot and ensure that the G-Forces put upon them are not fatal. The pilot does require extensive surgery to their spine and brain to allow them to interface with the machine and control it like their own bodies.

It is vastly noted that the weaponry carried by the Evas is limited, with their biological components taking a vast majority of their interior. The same is not true with the 2nd Jet Alone.

The main weapon of the 2nd Jet Alone is a massive, two handed railgun. Throwing a tungsten projectile at speeds that make it seem like a laser, it is exceptionally devastating to anything it hits. The energy is supplied by both the main reactor and the energy capacitors on the back of the unit.

It has a wide array of missiles and rockets mounted inside itself for attacking purposes. It also has four hard-points on it for optional weapons, including rocket pods or gatling guns.

As for hand held weapons, the 2nd Jet Alone has several options. These include the same rifles and bazookas as that the Evas use, but also several special options.

First is 'Thor's Hammer'. This is the gravity producing melee weapon that was developed for Jet Alone and is theorized as to be devastating to an AT field. The scientists behind the 2nd Jet Alone do know that upon impact Thor's Hammer literally creates a small gravity field at around a thousand times stronger than normal, thus in theory it could crush pretty much anything. However, it is an open question if this would be effective against an AT Field or not.

The problem is that to get close enough to do this the 2nd Jet Alone has to expose itself to a good deal of risk, to get close enough to use the hammer. Also, the hammer has to make use of the energy capacitors on the back of the unit, in order to generate enough power to make the strike work.

The last weapon is actually the most primitive. Designers in the United States took an archaic design for a mortar and modified it into a giant break action launcher, not unlike the M-79 grenade launcher. It only holds a single massive 910mm round and fires it. The design is specificity meant for N2 Mines, adding a vast amount of destructive potential to the 2nd Jet Alone.

Ah. Well in the Eva world, the JSSDF is much more superior than the JSDF in terms of battle experience and all. So in comparison, I liken the JSSDF as the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, although the latter's meant to be a first response to any anti-government action.

NERV security can be good too...

If you don't mind me saying, we do need at least one dude pilot. I mean, it wouldn't be NGE without liberal amounts of sexual tension, right?

Also, are we going for a feel similar to the original work, or Lighter and Softer? "Cuz I kinda thought up Kokoro with the former in mind.

  • Occupation: (There are Evas 00-02)
  • Appearance:
  • Personality:
  • History:

  • Name: Fukui Akihiko
  • Age: 14
  • Gender: Male
  • Occupation: Student and pilot of Eva-00
  • Appearance: Akihiko has a fairly normal height for his age, at five foot five. However, he appears almost underweight, barely looking at all healthy. He is thin and lacks any major muscle, making him quite skinny. He has green eyes, and his short hair is dark brown. He usually dresses in his school uniform, or exceedingly plain clothing.
  • Personality: Akihiko is very ill-equipped socially. He lacks any idea of what to do around people, and usually tries to mimic the actions of those he sees around him. That is, if he has to. Akihiko tends to steer clear of human interaction unless it's necessary. When it is necessary, or when he's talked to, he tends to be extremely awkward, especially if the person in question is female. He places his wellbeing at very low value most of the time.
  • History: Akihiko vaguely remembers his mother, who disappeared when he was very young. He has no memory of his father. He was found, at four years old, by NERV officers. This led to him growing up without parental care, but with minimal intervention from NERV due to several currently undisclosed events. He has already had his synch ratio test with Eva-00, resulting in him becoming a pilot for the prototype Eva.

Flavor similar to the original.
