I'll only keep us here for this one set of posts to do a bit of foreshadowing (maybe, at any rate) with Suzume's side of the briefing, then we will do a time skip to a school day the next day. So you don't even really need to post, but you still can if you want to, just for fluff and idle thoughts and the like.

Speaking of which! I've designed sketches for the core friends group of the Children in school, so Atomic/Troy/Don't look this over and tell me if you guys are okay with it. Loke's galpal is in her class, 16 year old Sanae Izumi, intelligent and sociable though somewhat naive and they met because they share musical interests (Sanae is a budding multigenre composer). She's totes BFF with Loke and treats the younger boys like younger brothers, stern but compassionate.

Her younger brother Shirou is 14, a star athlete of the NERV school baseball team (yes they go to competitions) who is naturally a leader and tries to support his class peers in Eikichi and Yuto and encourage them. Has a huge crush on Loke and becomes super awkward in her presence.

Finally there's Patricia Samuels, 15 year old daughter of a foreign NERV worker who is an out-of-the-closet lesbian and really loud and proud about that fact. Pretty confrontational and always trying to be one of the boys with Eikichi, Yuto, and Shirou, to typically annoying levels. Thinks Loke is cool as shit and looks up to her. Excellent pitcher, so also part of the baseball team. Her Japanese is kind of bad.

Neat, Gabe gets to coach an actual good team. Should be new ground for him considering his team in high school was kind of crappy. tongue So then would Patricia be a fellow American?

Eikichi doesn't need encouragement. He probably tells Shirou to leave him alone or go hit things with the bat. Or bring out his crush on Loke at awkward moments for the lulz. Patricia on the other hand, I think I found a partner in crime for girl cruising. Even if she's a bit of a Loke fangirl. Sanae's probably on Eikichi's hit list, though.

But not Loke. Well maybe. But trying to hit on a fellow pilot is a bad idea. Business and pleasure are two separate things.

@ Combat: Yep, she would indeed be so.

@ Atomic: I am fine with all of these things.

Ooh, make her a Yankees fan so she and Gabe can butt heads. Or maybe a fellow Red Sox fan so they can at least geek out together.

Come to think of it, might Second Impact have significantly changed the course of sporting event results? It might be trivial, but considering Gabe is a Red Sox fan and all of their real life World Series championships after 1918 have been in years that would be post-2I, it seems somehow thematically appropriate if the Curse of the Bambino were still alive and well.

Don't worry, my personal sensibilities won't be offended either way. My team loyalties are elsewhere.

But 2I was 2015, unless you can somehow see into the future of baseball games?

That said, sure, let them butt heads.

Er, wasn't it 2000, and the series proper takes place in 2015? Unless we're tweaking the timeline.

Oh sorry, my brain went stupid and mixed up the two dates. Alright, then pretty obviously world sports as a whole ceased following SI. They probably still aren't really back, only at the local-country level has organized sporting returned as a thing.

In that case the kids probably don't have a concept of what it's like to follow a team that competes on a country-wide level. Even for Gabe that would be a distant childhood memory at this point. Forget my idea of them butting heads over that then.

Oh yeah, that's a good point. Right, that character point retracted then.

I'm fine with this, but knowing what I know about Loke, this is going to be hilarious. And feel free to have Ekichi hit on Loke, it could both be hilarious and lead to character development.

Don't mean to double post, but what role do all of you think your characters fill in terms of EVA? I kinda feel like Loke is a less bitchy Asuka.

None in particular. It has shades of Kaji, Kaworu, Rei, Asuka and Gendo.

Alright, this has nothing to do with the conversation but I have suggestion to have Bardiel instead take over multiple Mass Produced Evas, that would make it so each pilot has their own opponent as opposed to all three beating down on one angel.

Re: roles, Shona's should be obvious tongue

[up] That would be missing the point of Bardiel, though. It's not just about taking over an eva, it's about taking over an eva with the pilot inside, so that the remaining kids are forced to fight their friend.

Jacqueline has shades of Misato, maybe. Suzume has elements of Ritsuko and Rei.

Suggestion noted, but I have already planned the general angel order and the tricks I will be throwing your guys' way.

Gabe's role is basically an expanded version of Ibuki's from the series, being a technically-oriented Bridge Bunny with ties to the science division. In terms of personality, his stoic, business-like front shows many of the same traits from Ritsuko or Rei as Suzume, but his true off-duty (or off-guard) persona is probably more like Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (with concessions made that this is the Eva universe of course.) And this may not come up, but if I ever had the chance to write him when he was around the pilots' age, he'd probably come across as more like Naota, with some of Shinji's traits thrown in.

Oh, and also, he'd probably freak out if he was ever in a situation where he had to back up his new military credentials and actually shoot someone, much like Ibuki in Eo E, but depending on how things progress I'm for him eventually getting over it through character development when things get dark.

Yuto is kinda like Shinji, even though when I was thinking him up, I was thinking of elements of Asuka.

@Bassett, how many impacts have happened yet? Are we still in the part between second and third?

Yep, only 2 so far. 3rd has yet to be a thing.
