Eh, I'd aim for Gendo but probably get stuck as Aoba. Such is life.

I'd choose Fuyutsuki. I'd be in an optimal position to assassinate Gendo (and make it look like an accident) before he fused with Adam, and later lead NERV in a righteous crusade against the forces of SEELE immediately after Tabris is disposed of, and before SEELE can launch their own offensive.

Either that or the red beret-wearing NERV gate guard from EoE. Sure I end up getting my throat slit, but it's a nice easy job with no assholes to deal with, and I don't have to live through 3I. ^_^

This all hinges on whether or not I get to pick the day. If I do, I would be Kaji, for obvious reasons. if not probably Hyuga, as among the bridge techies his life seems to be the least complicated. Definitely not one of the kids, because holy fuckcakes is that ever asking for a shit sandwich. No, thank you!

Knowing what she has to endure towards the end of the series and EOE, I can safely say that you're lying. If not, you're a sadomasochist.

Motoko. Lusting after a woman 5 years my senior who came from a cold locale would totally be something I'd do.

If the world truly hated me; Fuyutsuki.

If the world was indifferent to me; the pilot of the VTOL that was struck down by Sachiel after screaming the obvious.

... totally something else I would do...

I would pick Asuka...naturally. I just empathize with her the most.

And considering I tend to get her most on these danged Eva-character quizzes, I guess it's just fate.

In the same way, it seems I am fated to be Shinji.

I somehow missed this test.

But anyway, the questions is which character would you choose to be for a day, not which character do you empathize with the most. I don't empathize with Kaji in the least, but let's be honest, he's had some really great days . . .

So, I'd choose Shinji, but so long as I could also choose the day! There are days when being Shinji sucks, and days when it really doesn't.

Not sure it was the same test, but I got Gendo by a landslide.

You wish to shut yourself out from all those who care about you, only to long after a lost cause?

What lost cause? Yui is right over there and he has a plan to get her back. Depending on the ending Eva is the story of how Gendo either wins or at least gets some closure.

But Yui has her own plan remember. One that leaving Gendo and Shinji forever (for good reason) so......yes, lost cause

...which 1) didn't happen until the DC recuts and so doesn't matter at all in the original series and 2) he didn't know about and so can't be faulted for ignoring.

It does make him a bit of a chump, though. All that trouble, and she wasn't even interested.
