Character: Rokubungi Gendo
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days
Age: 16
Canon: Evangelion, the series that set the animanga precedent for unstable teenagers saving the world in human-shaped fighting machines, is the canon that never, ever ends. The main series examines the struggle of a small group of children who must strive through apocalyptic conditions in order to find themselves. Angelic Days is a lighthearted, romance-focused version of this story. In this version, "dating the right girl is more important than saving the world."
Enter volume five of Angelic Days, set more than two decades before the main plot of Evangelion. Rokubungi Gendo is a troubled middle-schooler with serious abandonment issues. Due to his bitterness regarding family matters, young Gendo turns to delinquency and sports an antagonistic and depressive attitude that frequently gets him into trouble with his peers and adults alike. Gendo is very much your modern major teenager -- he is defiant of authority and wary of affection, afraid of being hurt. Lacking in social graces, Gendo is awkward and defensive when spoken to. His only interest seems to be literature; instead of socialising with others or paying attention in class, Gendo reads. He reads everything, from 'deep' poetry to information texts on mundane subjects, occasionally managing to reflect his hidden, studious personality through his constant attention to books.
Note: Gendo is extremely attached to his 'girlfriend' Ikari Yui due to a series of epic and hilariously shoujo events!
Sample Post:
This is stupid. The library's supposed to be right here, but obviously someone either gave me some really bad directions or the whole thing's just moved. Or it's beneath the dingy lake. Which wouldn't surprise me, considering all the other shit that happens to me all the time! Damnit, this isn't funny. I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind if I see him again. He seemed to want it real bad, now that I think about it. Geez. You'd think they'd at least believe I wasn't here to cause trouble after I explained that I was here with permission. But I guess doing library duty for punching a guy's lights out doesn't really make me that credible.
Not that "credible" is a word I'd use to describe this place, but stuff like that really shouldn't surprise me anymore... s'the last time I agree to do anything for that guy. Shoulda never let him be a teacher in the first place, that bastard. What's wrong with giving a guy a knuckle sandwich he deserved? Feh. ... uh, I guess I promised I wouldn't say things like that again. Stop looking at me, toucan! You don't need to agree with me either!
. . . well, in comparison to disappointing Yui, I guess doing library duty isn't that bad. Whatever. If I can't find the place it's not like I can do the job. It's not skipping out if I tried and failed. I really don't have time for this-- I mean, it's Valentine's Day and I haven't found Yui a unicorn yet and she said she wanted one real bad--yeah, keep laughing. I don't know why anyone would ever want ever want one either, and from what I've read apparently you have to be pure as driven snow to even get near the things, and with my luck they'd be the key to destroying the world, but I've got to at least try.
I hate this place! I never thought I'd say it, but it's worse than home and even weirder. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I mean, it's not like the freakin' library's just going to appear out of nowhere along with a herd of "unicorns," right next to some purple gorillas. See, no unicorns, no purple gorillas, like I s--
Oh. Shit.
I think the unicorn in particular wants to kill me. N-not that I'm scared of it or anything. It's not a big deal, I can handle this. It's just a horse with an extra sharp horn, right? But maybe I should start running just in case--FIVE FOUR THREEtwooneOWSTUPIDROCK--NOW IT'S LAUGHING?! --SHUT THE HELL UP, I MEANT TO DO THAT!
