Evageek's 5th RP/Character Synopsis

Alrighty. On the Evageeks forums we kick-started another Evangelion based forum Role Play. Hopefully my writing skills can keep up with it because this time around I have a grand total of four characters to control, which is four times as many as some other people have that can't even keep up with just their one character. Currently in my possession are two canon characters: Hikari Horaki, the sweet, yet sturdy classroom representative, and Maya Ibuki, the responsible, possibly lesbian first lieutenant, or Bridge Bunny, serving directly under Ritsuko Akagi.

The other two of my characters are original characters, one of which I created on my own, the other I saved from being another background character and have done a lot of characterization with. Ironically, the two became almost polar opposites. This blog update is dedicated to them, but without giving any spoilers at all. If you want to know what happens, you'll have to see for yourself.

The first is my darling, Katsuko Kotonoha.
Age: 14
Date of birth: June 2nd, 2001.
Ethnicity: Japanese.
Hair Color: Black.
Eye Color: Emerald Green.
Height: 5'8"
Notable Features: Round spectacles.

Katsuko is a shy, reclusive girl who avoids interactions with people for a reason, and normally meets confrontation with a slight irritation, but that does not mean she's not friendly under certain circumstances. Get her with friends and she'll be the life of the party: playful, whimsical and adventurous. Despite being shy and antisocial, she's a very independent person, living only with her father, whom works night shifts and sleeps during the day (it is very rare that they actually see each other) and is in charge of taking care of the house as if it were her own. She seems to be hiding a pain, a memory from the past that still haunts her, and she represses it as best she can. Her emotions come out selectively on paper through her artwork and poetic pieces, which are notably her only hobbies along with playing the bass guitar and browsing the internet. Her interactions with people face-to-face differ greatly than they do through a text message or an online message; when online, she's much more expressive, and often uses emoticons to set the mood in her messages. In real life, she often expresses her emotions in a different, more subtle way. Her dress style is known to be rebellious at school, often bending the uniform policy as best as she can to dress how she wishes. A few years back she used to be very close friends with Michiko Nakada and Takeru Matsuda, but for reasons the relationship between the three was severed. Takeru's return to Tokyo-3 is only going to stir things up for her. Katsuko is at a very critical point in her life right now, and depending on her interactions with others, she may go two extreme directions in life. And if her name implies anything, one of those directions should be obvious.

The other is Michiko Nakada.
Age: 14
Date of Birth: February 25th, 2001.
Ethnicity: Japanese.
Hair Color: Mahogany.
Eye Color: Coffee brown.
Height: 5'3"

Michiko is a the well known and loved "popular" girl among her peers. Known to be openly rebellious and disagreeable, Michiko seems to follow her rules only. Everything she does is usually with her best friend, Mami Sasaki, and those two watch out for each other like sisters. When Mami is killed in an accident involving the Evangelions, Michiko instantly blames Nerv for claiming none were hurt during the incident and seeks to exploit the organization, but looks in all the wrong places. She often and openly blames the pilots and anybody associated with them for the death of her friend and calls them bloodthirsty murderers. Aside from her complete hatred for anything Nerv, Michiko is the average high school girl who enjoys hanging out with friends and going to the mall. Despite seeming like the soulless, pretty-girl, Michiko does have very strong ethics and a sense of justice, even though she often bends to her own will to get her way. Her passion is what keeps her going. Up until this point, she been known to date other guys to make her feel better about herself, for undisclosed reasons. She used to be best friends with Katsuko Kotonoha and Takeru Matsuda, but certain events had severed the relationship between the three. Takeru's return to Tokyo-3 is going to have a big affect on her character throughout the course of the story. Michiko is going to be put in a very transitional phase starting from very early in the story that she won't get out of until the end, whether she makes a change depends entirely on the events of the plot and what's to come.

And that's it. Katsuko and Michiko are both very unique characters in their own ways, and I hope to bring them to life through the story as well as doing the two canon characters justice. This attempt at an RP is shaping up to be one of my personally best and most organized tries to date, as well as my writing skills being better than they have been in the past. This is looking to be a fun and exciting story, as long as every keeps up and does there part. But it should be fine, this is only the fifth try; the third try with this plot. Either way, this is going to be a lot of fun.

And until my next blog post, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that the holidays are good for all of us! Bye!
