Oh, you know, that meddlesome thing called life. Man, does it ruin everything.
Gosh darn me living and things. In all seriousness I'm around. Just to make things clear I'm taking a very rigorous course load, it's my senior year of high school, I'm involved in every extra-cirric known to man... So I'm jumping in when I can.

Apparently writing a character who is thoroughly positive and happ y got boring. The only question now is how depressed I am going to let him get. I mean, what is evangelion without an introspective angst arc?

I thought it was refreshing. EVERY story involving Evangelion not written by Hideaki Anno takes extensive efforts to make the main character less of a pussy.

Ah yes, that. I don't know, I'm kinda gonna miss the happy Rev. I kinda fucked up Alexander with the whole Addison thing, though I'm having him get over it. As for Rev, well, being constantly ignored and ditched by the only people who may understand, the one female you may actually have a chance of sharing a relationship with is possibly crazy, and the high possibility of dying before you're old enough to even drink alcohol, must lead to some revelation along the lines of, "Hey wait, my life kinda sucks." Oh well, I guess every philosopher has that one day where things get a bit bleaker for them

You know, if any of you actually bother to read my walls of exposition, Alexander has mentioned multiple times how he kinda hates the distance between him and the team. I mean, let's face it, do our characters have any actual friends aside from each other. He already mentioned it to Addison awhile back, why not Rev? Or something. I'm just kinda rambling at this point.

Oh, and by the way CJ: You gave Alexander the ability to read minds. Samuel is beginning to seem like a really OP weapon. He can slightly communicate with evas, knows a bit more about manipulating A.T fields, can spy on people under the right circumstances. Luckily, I'm keeping Alexander from becoming OP as all hell by having him mostly oblivious. Though, this is Alexander. Remember, relatively smart and curious. He'll put two and two together, but for now, it's all minor stuff.

plus, we need to figure out a way to re-institute Addison-15 back into the story. Plus, there was the core that flew out to sea. I have a minor idea for that.

Oh, and let me drop a few random words: Prince, ice, absolute zero, porcupine, bull.

That is all.

And now Samuel is counter balanced
Ah, nice. This actually helps me a bit. You see, for a time being, Alexander had an angel in his head, while Samuel tried to fight back. This skirmish caused serious brain damage to Alexander and may be forming something along the lines of schizophrenia. Though schizophrenia can be treated with the right medication and even cured, to a degree, Alexander's case is a bit more dangerous. Why?

Things like Alastor, that's why.

Imagine that Alexander is the Death Star. Now, Samuel's skirmish with the angel left a hole in Alexander's mind, kinda like the one hole in the Death Star that, you know, led to the reactor and blew up the entire space station that was the size of a moon! One well placed shot through the hole and Alexander's mind goes ka-boom. Samuel and the angel already damaged Alexander's mind to a degree with little immediate effect. Something serious would practically destroy him then and there.

Samuel acts as a gatekeeper, a guard. A.K.A that one guy on the Death Star who should've stopped and gone, "Hey this hole could be dangerous." *seals it up* So as long as Samuel's around, Alexander is relatively safe.

Unless sneaky bastards like Alastor worm there way in. This is even more of an issue now that Samuel is having problems separating thoughts, due to human interference. i.e Alexander can hear people's thoughts. He just doesn't really notice.

Yeah, I actually feel kind of bad for him. I think he's going to come back with a vengeance, though. Sooner or later.

You know, if any of you actually bother to read my walls of exposition, Alexander has mentioned multiple times how he kinda hates the distance between him and the team.

Yeah, that's do-able. It just needs to be said, since nobody else can read minds, which leads me into my next portion:

I figure in Evangelion, the more insane you are the more powerful you are. I mean, look at Rev. The fucker meets an invisible enemy and literally his FIRST thought is "I am going to stab myself and spray blood on him so I can see him!" The fact that he got away with that is my proof.

plus, we need to figure out a way to re-institute Addison-15 back into the story. Plus, there was the core that flew out to sea. I have a minor idea for that.
For Fifteen, I was thinking that during "The Plan", she would run into Rev and he would attempt to recruit her. And I assumed that the escaped core would come back for the final battle.

Pretty much, until they go apeshit, get on all fours and turn into a monster, and fucking eat you alive.

Christ, it's been a bad week. Sorry, I don't want to complain about things you guys don't need to know, but suffice to say my writing/posting time has been torn to shreds as of late.

Bottom line, I'm still here, and I will post whenever I am able (Trying for a post a day, but not entirely sure I'll be able to stick to that). If for some reason I'm holding things back, please feel free to either auto me along or just skip over me entirely; while I certainly want to participate in this, I don't want to make things worse for others ever more.

Oh my, it appears we've run into a bit of a predicament. Let me break it down. Asc timeskipped us a bit, however doing this cut off a few conversations, events, etc. Such as David meeting up with Owen. I wanted to object, but decided to roll with it and adapted. In my last post, ended it with Owen walking down the hallway to his office, which was currently being infiltrated by the pilots. And you're about to have an interview with Owen, in his office so...yeah, weird time paradox thing going on.

Though, it can be corrected. What happens to David by the end of the interview? Perhaps we can turn it into a sorta, flashback thing, something that happened a few hours before the pilots showed up. It could hint to the more dangerous side of Dr. Laurence.

Just a suggestion.

Plus, it's okay if you don't have time. I barely have time to do anything, I just make a long post, cram in a few replies to keep things moving, and hope for the best.

I was just going to ad hoc him into the hallway with me - end result, the REASON I am headed to the office at the most inconvenient time is BECAUSE David wants to have a meeting there.

Holy wall of motherfucking exposition! Man, that was a long section I added in. What sucks is that Framed, Viking, and Zapper, Are gonna be soooooo confused when they have time to post. Welp, might as well define a few things.

Aiber and Addison met up with the crew. I was really hoping they'd finish their conversation, because it could've led to some interesting stuff about expectations. You know, Addison always being tested and trying to be better than the other version and Aiber trying to meet his father's standards. Or something...

Alexander got Leonidas on board, after a minor awkward experience of her trying to fulfill some weird fantasy. She was stationed near an elevator, ready to keep Owen distracted, but of course things didn't go that way.

And...well, that's it. Plus, Seele agents are on their way to deal with Piggy, Rev, Addi-15, Lisa, and David while The A-team tries to deal with Super Owen.

Please keep controlling other people's characters to a minimum. 13 has not read the files yet and would have no reason to attack him. I don't think hiei82 would appreciate you having his parasite blow it's cover like that.

Great. Now I have to RP Alastor more... Do you have any idea how hard it was to write the last "just Alastor" post?

*sigh*

Well, better start getting into the right frame of mind *starts listening to evil music while watching good villain speeches*

I was fine with it until Alastor took over. I don't mind the Alastor being revealed - I was going to do that anyway - so much as the Owen being controlled bit. Now Owen is off in the aether somewhere so I have to figure out how to RP Alastor properly... *looks at notes for how I was going to do this as Owen... sighs again*

Up to this point the creature has seemed to be very patient and methodical. Suddenly proclaiming itself to an enemy is a total departure for it.

And you shouldn't force other people to attack- that removes their own choices for what to do or who to side with, and is against the whole point of roleplaying.

You see, that's what I was worried about. My brain was like, "is this a good idea? It could completely ruin the character and" but I just ran with it.

I apologize. I shall correct it at once.

Edit: Aaaaand, you apparently just posted...man, I fucked up horribly didn't I?

Don't worry to much about it. It's not like anyone here has ever made a silly post like that before *pushes General Relativity book under bed while whistling*
