Yes, she's a woman and I'm a man, but she's the only one having fun.

None of them. Their lives all suck worse than mine ever did XD

In terms of admirable qualities I'd like or aim for I suppose I could use some of Rei's determination & ability to push on through adversity even when the work is thankless (though she almost has a bit too much of that. We could make an even split, assuming we found the means to shuffle metaphsical attributes to begin with), also Dat Aesthetic.

I'll be Shinji, and I'd use that one day and my Eva to torture anyone bothering Asuka until they beg for death.

It depends on if I'm just the character in our world or if I'm living in Evacerse. Living in Evaverse, I'd probably want to be Keel, because he seems to have the power to stop that madness. In our world I'd like to be Toji, cuz his manliness is hot af.

I'd go with Shinji, just because the Angel war is a war I could actually get behind and I think Instrumentality would be a healthy experience for me.

This raises an important point that is not generally mentioned. For Shinji, or anyone, to benefit from the experience (while they retain enough individuality for the possibility of return to be meaningful, and however long that may survive - another glossed over issue) they must be mentally capable of assimilating the necessary learning. Just having the viewpoint of the rest of the world dumped on you/him is not enough - and might well be a good way to break you/him finally unless there is already a certain amount of resilience there.

Good point! After all, that is what I understand Yui-sama's goal to have been. That is, she wanted humanity to enter Instrumentality, gain understanding of the Other (and break down the ATFs that separate them and make people hurt each other), and have them return enlightened with that newfound understanding.

(I think. I like this idea, but I'm not absolutely sure it can be supported by canon...)

Good point there too pwhodges! I imagine that might, in certain people, be enough to convince them not to return at all!

Yeah, don't get me wrong, a lot of it would be terrifying but there's a lot of potential for good to come out of it.

There'd be a lot horrible people in there, lots of bad memories. But I think people would latch onto the good extra hard because I think deep down people want to be good. And I think that good will come out of there more often than not.

Being able to understand every fault and reason of society has the potential to create a Utopia. Understanding why there is so much suffering would be a big eye opener for Shinji and everyone.

Shinji would be coming out of there thinking "I may have had a shitty childhood and assholes for parents but I know that there a people who care about me and my existence. At least I wasn't tortured, raped, sold into slavery, murdered in cold. My body wasn't deformed and disabled. I had a relatively sound mind. At least I have that much."

You know who strikes me as someone who's got things figured out?

Hyuga.

He's pretty successful for a guy his age (no younger than Maya, and no older than Misato, so I'm going to peg him at 26). He's in a ranking position at his job, and is on a pretty set path toward future success. He seems like a quiet, career oriented guy, who enjoys his hobbies. He recognizes what his role is, and does his best at it. He has a crush on Misato, and he may do favors for her, but he keeps things professional between them. He can be an excellent problem solver too, showcased in Ep 11 when he takes initiative during the blackout and Angel attack by taking control of the news van.

Plus he gets a fat kiss at the end. :hyuga_hmm: :misato_service: (we need more Misato emojis)

I would be Hyuga.

I can't actually remember the cryptic reason for my original answer so I'm changing it to Mari.

I was thinking of being one of the NERV staff, so when one day, when Gendo was busy orchestrating the mission, I would take the chance to shoot him in the back while he's distracted, thus ending his ambition. And to make him pay for what he did to Shinji. :devil:

In all seriousness, Toji. Save for the other stooge not named Shinji, you're lying to yourself if you want to deal with the mental or moral bs any of the other major characters go through.

I would like to be Shinji so I could kiss Asuka, and then man up and lead a huge insurrection against SEELE and then marry Asuka later on.

Toji also goes through being utterly horrifically mauled in episode 18 though

Asuka, I mean I couldn't pass the oportunity to tease Shinji like she does, but I would be less intense with him
