I Can (Not) Write A Good Intro



WHATS UP BOYS AND GIRLS Aren here!! I already play an adorable Disney princess here, but I'm going to be bringing in someone completely different because that's always fun and exciting! This lovely misanthrope that you poor saps are going to have to deal with today is Asuka Langley Shikinami, from Evangelion 3.0.

Now, for those of you who are canon-familiar with the series but unfamiliar with the Rebuild movies wondering what the deal with her surname change is, let me kinda preface by saying that she's from the new movie series, which play around with the canon and diverge in a really interesting way as they progress, to the point where 3.0 takes place after a 14 year timeskip. (though Asuka still looks 14 because anime nonsense the curse of the Eva) Asuka in particular goes through a number of really interesting changes to her character arc, and she behaves a bit differently from her TV series counterpart! It's a fun experience if you're looking for a fresh spin on a classic!

If you're canonblind, I really recommend giving the series a watch, because its a hell of a ride! Here's what you need to know about Asuka, though: she's a complete mess, for starters. She's abrasive and boisterous, always angry at something in some way, a complete perfectionist who always needs to have her way, and to top it all off she's incredibly antisocial...which is one heck of a combination, really. She's the former Captain of the European Air Force, and the proud pilot of a giant mecha that begrudgingly protects her bright red wasteland of a post-apocalyptic world, so she will not be happy to be here at all? Especially not with a goddamn Happiny, like, wow. Also, don't ask about the eye. Kind of a sore spot.

She's a huge departure from Anna but I expect her CR will be just as fun and I really can't wait to get the ball rolling with all you wonderful people! I can't wait to thread with whoever's down, new and old C: if you want to add me on Plurk please feel free!! You can catch me at [plurk.com profile] ilikeblackmage, I don't bite at all!! Thank you so much for having me, guys!

So I don't think I've had the chance to throw Penny at Anna yet, but she definitely needs to talk to Asuka. Which I am sure will go absolutely flawlessly and not annoy Asuka with relentless cheerfulness at ALL.
