CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Toji Suzuhara
Canon: Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga)
Reference Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_genesis_evangelion, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_%28manga%29

Character History:

Toji is, is many ways, just an ordinary teenager in a postacopalyptic world in a not quite postapocalyptic city Tokyo-3 (It is supposed to be the safest place, afterall). He's an orphan, but having a grandfather and a younger sister, he's not lacking for a family. Though he'd probably gladly hook up with some pretty and kind girl someday, but that's for the future. Even though he's often immature in school and other places, at home he's in many ways the head of the family, or at least certainly a bit parental to his younger sister.

One day, a monster called Angel attacked Tokyo-3. Fortunately, the organisation called Nerve already knew a lot about those Angels and had giant biorobots called Evangelions made specifically for the purpose of combating them. The pilot of Evangelion 01 somehow managed to defeat the Angel.

However, there was a lot of coratellal damage done in that battle. Many people were hurt - including Toji's sister. So when the inexperienced pilot, Shinji Ikari, showed up in their school, Toji was extremely pissed off. So pissed off that he makes it very clear with his fist.

Still, he felt a bit bad about it later, even if he tried not to show it. So when another Angel appeared, Kensuke easily guilted his buddy into leaving the shelter with him to go see the giant robot battle. And... well, Shinji wasn't really much better at fighting than before. When Shinji took them to his cockpit to save them from being squashed, Toji could observe firsthand how difficult job it is.

Afterwards, they became friends. Later on, Toji was offered a position of Eva pilot - and he told Shinji just how scared it really made him, even if he tried to put a brave face on.

Personality:

Toji is a very straithforward person and the only thing about him that can at times be fake is his bravado. He's no good at faking indifference even if he tries. He can be quite rude and brash. If you're looking for somebody who can make a lot of bad decisions in a heat of the moment (or sometimes good decisions, too, depending. Or maybe accidently) Toji is certainly a good candidate. He can be a bit of a pervert and he's also generally clueless if the situation he's in is complicated. Not that he's going to spend much (or any) time asking existential questions, that would be a waste of time. He puts more stock in actions than in words. So when he cares about somebody, there will be no profound declarations, but he'll kick anybody who's a jerk to them in the ass and try to protect his friends with all his strength. In other words, any violence from his direction would be a case of righteous (more or less, in his eyes, if often misguided) anger, never any malicious intent. Yes, he's very protective. And no, he wouldn't break anybody's arms and legs on purpose in reality, no matter what he says.

He likes his normal life, thank you very much, and unlike his best friend Kensuke, he certainly wouldn't want to change it in a ridiculuous way. Like, say, become a pilot of some crazy giant robot and beat some monsters with it. That's just not on. (He'd rather do normal things, like beating people up if they deserve it.)

He's more caring that he lets on, and he would try to help even a stranger if they were truly in a shitty situation (unless they're a jerk about it, maybe). Especially if it's somebody younger than him, because than, his brotherly instints would kick in and he'd be quite gentle towards them. To whoever becomes friends with him, he'll always be loyal, trustworthy and, well, maybe not exactly dependable, but as dependable as a tactless and hotheaded teenager can be. If you're a very good friend, he might even stop fronting and show his own vulnerability if he's in over his head. Still, he'd really have to trust such a person very much, otherwise he'd be ashamed. He likes to be a tough guy.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?

Toji Suzuhara. What, you've got something against my name?

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?

If you stole my socks, I'll get them back.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?

That's stupid, I'm not going to shut up just because somebody tells me too. Besides, I'd get bored to death.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?

My family and buddies aren't gonna talk smack about me behind my back. Though class rep and Soryu might be, now that I think about it.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?

What the hell is an egret and why would I want it? And dunno, maybe I would take a dog. I hear they can guard people and bite jerks.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?

I'm not going to mope just cause somebody else's doing it. That wouldn't help nobody. And unless they're just being an idiot, I can ask what's going on. And do something.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?

A plate. What else would I eat a cake from?

08. Do you trust yourself?

Tch, of course.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.

If you don't know I'm not telling. Don't take me for a complete idiot.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?

What?!

...yeah. It's not your business, anyway.
