"The change is revealed by way of some official advertising, in which the cast is listed; fans looking over the names immediately (or possibly after obsessive scrutiny) spotted a mysterious 式波・アスカ・ラングレー / Shikinami Asuka Langley, presumably the same character as the previous 惣流・アスカ・ラングレー / Sohryu Asuka Langley." -- from here

Gainax.

Gainax my love.

What are you doing, her name is long enough already.

Nakatsu: a soccer ball, and a card.
Everyone else: a real bitching if you so much as suggest that she owes you anything.

Man, Asuka makes this easy. IF YOU WANNA DO THIS IC NAKATSU, DROP ME A LINE.

Because WHY NOT I've been playing for the first time in weeks, I should love things.

WELL SURE.

It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.

I play Wolfwood, Chrno, Rick, Hideki, Asuka and Youhei. (Formerly played: Anakin Skywalker, Haruhara Haruko, Harry Potter, Livio the Double Fang #1, Mimiru)

Audience asks a question of the panel members: do you have any habits when you record? The other two girls answer.
Spike Spencer: I like to record without any pants.
Random Audience Guy: So is that how you prepared for THAT scene in the Evangelion movie?
Spike Spencer: ...not all the time! :(

If you feel like you should be on here or want more details, poke me!

( Drumroll please. )

Hey. Hey guys. You know why you should read the new Evangelion AU "Records of Heaven's Descent"?

( Because the Angels are gay j-rockers with wings. )

For my own reference, copy-pasting some entries from Eva Otaku's program book translations, specifically the End of Evangelion Red Cross Book.

Today, on strange Evangelion-related videos:

* Evangelion@School: Short Film One
It's based on the line of toys (chibi character figurines) and it's uh... very twee. But you know what's even better?

* THIS PARODY OF IT

Name: Sohryu Asuka Langley
Age: 14
Height: N/A
Weight: HOW DARE YOU ASK ME THAT
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red/brown/orange/SOMETHING. It fluctuates depending on medium.

Physical traits: Sadamoto likes to draw really skinny girls with fair-sized racks. So Asuka is thin but has big boobs. Her hair goes down to mid-back, and she's almost always got it pinned up (usually with her red A-10s, sometimes with other things). She has a little bit of muscle tone since she's quite capable of fist-fighting, but nothing too noticeable. She's likely to be wearing either her school uniform, her yellow dress, or some other vaguely horrible clothes from Japanese anime 90s. Tiny shorts and tiny shirts, things like that.

Medical Info: She's fit and healthy! Nothing to really include here. She's had some minor wounds in the past. PSYCHOLOGICALLY is a different story, but I doubt she's been evaluated properly so nothing will show up.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Asuka is pulled from roughly mid-series. I'm still deliberating on whether I'll swing towards manga or anime, but basically she's from before the Fourth Child is found. I would VERY MUCH PREFER no mention of the things that happen after that, especially about her mother and End of Evangelion, for obvious reasons.

Abilities: Is an Evangelion pilot, and originally was meant to be the best one with the highest synch ratio. Asuka can also fight off A GANG OF THUGS SINGLE-HANDEDLY so she's got some hand-to-hand combat skills. She's a university graduate which means she's exceptionally bright, is fluent in both German and Japanese, and can scuba-dive. Oh, and she can play the violin. :|d

Notes for the Psychics: Haha orz. On the surface Asuka is flips between being an arrogant bitch and a sweet suck-up, but it's a different story deep in her mind. Asuka has SEVERELY REPRESSED key memories regarding her mother's suicide and related things. Please please please don't go bringing this stuff up without asking me first, because in canon it's this stuff that breaks her. It's possible to read vague things about missing her mother though. She also has a fanatical desire to be self-sufficient and the best at what she does.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Ask/ask/yes/yes! Asuka will retaliate if you smack her though.

Maim/Murder/Death: Most likely not, but talk to me.

Fighting: Asuka is likely to deck people she finds irritating on her own, and she can handle normal human opponents. Anything beyond that isn't really good, unless we're talking the mecha simulators, in which case I AM ALL FOR A MATCH.

Hugging/Kissing/Other Non-Violent Physical Contact: See above about her decking you. You've been warned.

Emo/Angst/Drama: I'm cool playing it, but Asuka is not likely to be receptive to your character's woez. Enter at your own risk.

Cooking: Of course she can cook. She just chooses not to.

Character: Sohryu Asuka Langley
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Character Age: 14
Canon: In the year 2015, mankind has come back from the brink of the Second Impact, a catastrophe that wiped out half the world's population. Now the beings that caused the Second Impact, Angels, have descended on the city of Tokyo-3. The only thing that stands between humanity and the Angels is the special organization NERV and its giant humanoid weapons: the Evangelions. The hero of our story and pilot of Evangelion Unit 01, Ikari Shinji, must survive battles both on the massive and personal level as he fights to save Tokyo-3 from destruction and to find a place for himself. To make matters worse, he also has to survive Sohryu Asuka Langley.

As the pilot of Unit 02, Asuka's skill is impressive, as is her sense of pride. She's quite vocal about how amazing she and her Eva are, and heaven help anyone who disagrees with her. Despite all her talent and intelligence – a university graduate at 14 – Asuka is quite capable of, well, being a petty loudmouthed jerk. She constantly berates Shinji, either for being inferior or showing her up, and has a very domineering attitude towards both him and fellow pilot Rei. On the flip side, she can adore and charm her schoolmates or the man she crushes on. Asuka has her share of problems, like any good Eva pilot, but she prefers to bury them under confidence and bravado. Basically, if you're not on Asuka's side, it'd be best to get out of her way before she kicks you in the face. Because it'll hurt a lot.


Sample Post:

This is pathetic! I knew the facilities in America were sub-par but this is way below UN standards. This has got to be breaking about thirty health codes, and that's just the welcome sign! What is that smeared all over it? There's even a paintbrush and little bottle full of it too… gross. It doesn't stink as much as the sign though. "Camp Fuck You Die: Ask us about our insurance policy! That's always a laugh." That's not funny, it's just immature. I expect better of a training camp.

Maybe NERV sends their normal staff here for training but a pilot deserves better than this. What am I meant to train with anyway, those stupid shotguns they were handing out at the gate? How degrading. Maybe those are fit for the gorillas roaming around, but not for me. I thought maybe this was my chance to show how adaptable I am in unknown situations, but I can't work in these conditions. The map they gave me to get to camp lead me through two swamps, three caves and a quicksand pit before I even found the buildings. It's the worst moment in my life if I have to choose between getting sucked into quicksand and letting some perverted vine pull me out. I hope it enjoys its new life as a knot around a tree for that; I think it's a fair price for getting up my skirt.

I'd feel a lot better about this place if it wasn't full of lechs. It's obvious that you all go on panty raids when you hang them on a tree to show off! Honestly, boys. Those sick ones are even worse. I don't care if you're missing an eye or an arm, that's no excuse for missing your pants. I didn't need to know what they looked like down there, all shriveled and dirty and - ugh. You all need some serious education on sexual harassment, because as a woman, I'm feeling harassed just looking at you. No, don't try to appeal to my brains, you're not worth my time! Go talk to whoever directs this place.

In fact, I'd like to talk to them myself. As a representative of NERV, it's practically my duty to make this place fit for use again. For one thing, no more of this wilderness survival crap. This is the 21st century and no one needs to know how to navigate through the woods. Not that I had any trouble with it, and those fake screams and howls were really tacky. And since I've visually confirmed what those goats were doing behind the Mess Hall, I'm telling you to get them desexed. I'll never be clean again… my innocence ruined… that is not what 'horny' should mean! Who needs all these wild animals around anyway? If the Director likes the idea of a zoo she could at least put some cages in. You could even teach some of those perverts a lesson by putting them behind bars.

As for the rest of you! I'm Sohryu Asuka Langley, and it's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm sure we'll get along great. ♥
