---

Welcome to Hugtopia! We're so happy to have you all here. We know it can be stressful, starting in a game (or adding a character!) so in an effort to help, we bring you an Intro CR Meme!

We'll be posting this meme each application cycle so please be sure to keep an eye out and help each other feel welcome. And be sure to check back often, someone may have a fun new idea in the middle of the night that you might not want to miss out on!

Here's what to do:

• Put a toplevel introducing yourself and the character you'll be bringing in! You can use the code below (the OOC section) if you like.
  
• Using the CR meme code (the IC section below), fill us in on your character as a reply to your first comment.
  
• Comment around, meet your fellow players, have fun, profit!

OOC
Player Name: Mel
Timezone: EST
Brief Intro: Hey friends! I'm super into a lot of stuff constantly, but the big fandoms I enjoy are Evangelion (shockingly I'm sure :V), Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Hunter x Hunter, Touhou Project, iDOLISH7, Pokemon, Princess Tutu, a myriad of sports animes, a bunch of different magical girl franchises, Zelda, Katamari... a Lot of things. I'm also into figure collecting, drawing, and cosplaying. Feel free to add me on plurk over at sandshrew, where I talk about RP stuff and occasionally post photos of cats, crafts, or just end up screaming into the void about work.

IC
Character Name: Shinji Ikari
Canon: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Age: 14

Appearance: World's tamest character design somehow mecha show protagonist. Shinji clocks in at a shrimpy 4'9".
Brief personality: Sad boy who gets in the robot. Shinji is a gentle but ultimately affection-skittish person, equipped with all sorts of fun things like completely untreated depression and ptsd. It's fine. He's Fine. He is, for the most part, a polite and well-meaning person who tries to keep himself out of the way whenever possible, and frequently has a very hard time making meaningful connections with those around him.
Brief history: After losing his mom and being abandoned by his dad, Shinji spends a good portion of his life doing nothing significant until he's called upon by said dad to risk his life time and time again fighting giant space(???) monsters in a super fighting robot of his very own. Amazingly, things just get worse from there! Eventually he makes friends, then he nearly kills friends, and he definitely kills one friend. Things turn weird and humanity turns into soup. Normal mecha show stuff.
Shipping Preferences: Shinji is shy bi and ready to cry but we are a far way off from shipping so fresh out of the gate, so we'll see how relevant this information becomes later. I'm all for friendshipping and famblyshipping though.

What your character wants/needs: What he wants is for people to just be nice to him already, goddamn. What he probably needs and doesn't necessarily want is sustained physical contact with another human being... please give this kid a hug, I'm sure it won't be awkward for anyone involved.

Seeking: I'm super down for just general CR building for the most part! I'd love for him to be brought out of his shell long enough for some mild exploration stuff, learning about the differences of this word vs. his, etc. I feel like the whole 'getting re-acclimated to not being part of a mind-meld' aspect of things might make a lot of the more physical aspects of everything tough for him, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested lmao

IC Inbox: Woop.

Anything else?

What about... sustained physical contact... with a seven foot tall robot?

[hedgehogsdilemma]

The whole 'not human' aspect might work in his favor, though I'm not sure how well the 'tall robot' part would balance that out haha

Still... could be fun... I'm game for this

[trashbot]

He's at least much more friend shaped than any of the Evas??

Tailgate has very minimal social awareness so he's pretty good at making pals with cranky people who want nothing to do with him.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Much friendlier shaped, definitely nothing like the "haunted cyborg flesh golem" he's become used to!

I don't really know much about Transformers but based on that description he sounds absolutely charming. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for any opportunity to play with you!

[trashbot]

I only know a bit about Evangelion through fandom osmosis so it’s all good! I’ll keep my eyes peeled too, but if you ever want to plan anything specific feel free to hit me up too.

HEY WHAT IF WE ACTUALLY GET CR THIS GAME HUH

HEY WHAT IF

WE DID THAT

[hedgehogsdilemma]

BRET YOU ABSOLUTE MAD MAN

WE COULD CONCEIVABLY DO THIS

WE DEFINITELY

COULD

[whenyouneedme]

TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH A DELINQUENT, SHINJI

[hedgehogsdilemma]

finally, just what he needs

I'm sure these two will get along swell

[whenyouneedme]

to be fair he is more delinquent by association

HONESTLY probably yes makes vague gestures about kai always being kei's kaworu in AU fan arts

[hedgehogsdilemma]

At least he pulls the look off well

Something about dark haired boy and light haired boy, shrug. We have managed to leave ourselves with the halves of those respective duos that aren't not human and I think that's incredible.

[whenyouneedme]

Amazing. Shinji looks just enough like a smaller Kei that Kai is probably double take and get disappointed

but also radiates just the right amount of SAD NERVOUS ENERGY that he'll want to keep an eye on him
