Read some of it, didn't really like it. I respect the insane amount of effort that probably went into it, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I'm more abour relationships being used to develop characters, not using character development to develop a relationship.

Say... due to his background, Shinji never saw much point in exerting effort into school, so while he graduated from high school just fine, he failed to get into university and is consequently drifting from one part-time job to another, without direction, ambitions, or even lasting acquaintances. Which is when Gendo recalls him.


I had actually thought about having Shinji leave Japan to go to the US where he finishes HS and eventually joins the military because that was his only real ticket to a university. This lets me play with the dichotomy of having Shinji with a spine plus conflict with :emogendo: once they're reunited. This also would allow me to call upon RL experience since I'm in the military myself. :D

What branch are you thinking of him joining? I mean, I can’t exactly see Shinji getting through Marine bootcamp... he’d probably leave after his first spin cycle.

Either Navy or Air Force, likely as a pilot. And I've met plenty of quiet introverts in the military so it's not like we don't have the full range of personalities serving on active duty, plus serving often helps to bring people out of their shells. Shin-man will be fine. :)

I have written them in there twenties I think it give you much more scope to do more things as your not limited by the school narrative and you can show the reader there homes inner lives even pets and there hobbies yet still have them visit Misato and Pen Pen giving the reader a link the series which they know.
Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live. After all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy.

The issue with that is that if there's no school, Shinji has no reason to interact with anyone outside work. I mean, why would he?

I like this as well. Having them live in a sort of "dorm" situation along with Misato (separate bedrooms/bathroom with a common living room/kitchen/dining room) creates the opportunity to put the characters together yet give them each their own space. Not really sure about pets, as that's Pen-Pen's territory (ish), but this gets them close together without the "supervising children" aspect. Misato and Rei can bond over their combined penchant for frozen/instant food, Asuka can rant about her preferences (because she's Asuka and nothing will stop her from ranting about any and every thing...) and Shinji is still left to ensure they're all properly cared for. Kaworu, will be Kaworu.

I'm sure Misato can come up with plenty of "mandatory fun" and "team building" activities for them to partake in after working hours. Plus, this will simply become more of a "work as school" environment. To be entirely honest, sometimes being in the military is just like being in HS. The only difference is that everyone is older. :P

Plus I can totally see Shinji bumming around NERV HQ in a flight suit with a EVA patch on the shoulder and hash marks for angel kills. :D

A dorm, or a barracks: I mean, if they have to work for a paramilitary organization piloting robots, I can't see them necessarily living on their own (at least until an op-tempo has been established).

I think 'dorm mom' Misato would be precious in the best way.

Well it depends on if you like her or not. She an be written as extremely intelligent and unstable (like that final scene of her in EoE), or you can write her as extremely intelligent and compassionate (like earlier in the series). Regardless of how she's portrayed, technobabble is a must when she's explaining something. That's at least how I did it.

A story involving Gendo's past would be appreciated. Especially if it explained in detail how he, Yui and Fuyutsuki got involved in the future events, and how he was shaped to the man he is known as now.
Fuyutsuki did nothing wrong.

I've seen a few people advertise their stories in this thread, so in the never-ending quest for feedback I'd like to add my voice to their own. I'll first preface that with a greeting to the forums, though, just in case that most people here haven't seen the one in my thread: I'm Gryphon, author of a few fairly decent Eva fics, and I came here a few weeks ago bearing a new story I've been working on. One based on an interesting concept that appeared in another fic, but that was sadly abandoned a decade ago. In any case, if anyone interested around these parts wants to take a look at it, follow the link below:

The first arc of my story, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Legacy covers this pretty well, at least I think so anyway. There's an origin chapter for Gendo (The Man with the Iron Face), and all of the other adults featured in the show. Gendo's chapter does dig into why he is the way he is, at least what my assumption of his upbringing and past was.

You know what? I agree with you on that.
Life can seem a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line.
