Well, at least now I know why Shinji was screaming "Stop!" during the first battle with Ramiel and crying in pain(?) in the second...
Ve is freaking VICIOUS in Rebuild! (The Angels somehow took notes from the Harpies this time around, I tell you!)
It's very cool a fan actually did this though.

Gender Neutral Pronouns, thanks to Mr. Tines. Used when you don't know a person's gender, though mostly when it comes to characters in Eva.

Native speakers of English are undoubtedly familiar with the limitations of the available pronouns. Among the choices for third person singular, we have “he†for males, “she†for females, and “it†for everything else. Obviously, things become problematic when one needs to refer to entities that are either (A) of indeterminate gender (sometimes by their own intent), (B) unspecified gender (requiring awkward phrasing like "he or she"/"him or her"/etc. or laborious rewording), or (C) possess no biological sex at all. (There are other headache-inducing cases as well, but none of relevance here.) Yeah, there's always “itâ€, but “it†makes no distinction between abstract concepts (hope), locations (porn shop), inanimate objects (Uzi), and living entities (hamster), which kind of, well, sucks.
Mr. Tines presented a solution for our (well, particularly my) woes, which was the Gender Neutral Pronoun ve/ver/vis. Although this sounds kind of funny if one attempts to use it in everyday speech, it is infinitely useful in writing — a quick and easy solution for the (B) problem, and quite handy for the (A) aspect of the Internet, as the physical characteristics of individuals are generally unavailable for reference, and thus using “he†or “she†can be a bit of a gamble if you don't know any better. In sci-fi like Evangelion, it has additional benefits, considering the various “non-human†entities within, for whom many people are not willing to commit to one gender or another. This GNP actually does have a slight following at ANF. (For more info on the sex/gender issue, see Gender.)
To demonstrate how this pronoun is used, I provide the following example: “Vis name is Pat. Is ve a boy or a girl? Maybe we should ask ver.â€
