Rule 1: It's okay to mention other characters (including background characters) in your post just please, NO "God-modding". Also, try to be as in-character as much possible: Being somewhat Out of Character depending on the character's situation is alright for a few posts, but please don't make every single post like this.
Rule 2: Two regular human characters to a player, including one Angel if you choose, MAXIMUM. NOTE: Any characters that have expired/are not being used are to be considered as plot device or background characters. It's okay to mention their actions (provided the plot and setting are given attention) so the story can move forward.
Provisional Characters: One per player, first come first serve. This lasts until a new player requests the provisional character of their choice. If your provisional character isn't requested, then you're free to continue writing for them in addition to your own characters.
Background Characters: No character per player limit; first come first serve. If you wish to share a background character with another player, just let me know. Specific background characters are only allowed for their "episode", then they are to be discontinued.
Rule 3: Please post once-every-two-weeks as the bare minimum to keep the story and the thread going.
Rule 4: Use place-holder posts sparingly.
Rule 5: Please direct all OOC questions/comments and requests for roles/characters to the thread HERE. However, if you have a question/comment that MUST be addressed in the RP thread, use this (OOC: ) in your reply. Also, please try to have your (OOC: words) comment be in the same post as your Roleplaying one so the story's flow isn't disrupted.
The Plot: Summoned by his father, Shinji Ikari arrives in New Tokyo-3 to pilot the Evangelion, Earth's last defense against the Angels who caused 2nd Impact 15 years earlier.
