Rei(s) Hunter-Ayanami, adopted and raised by the HUnters:

--NEVER suffer from vertigo
--Synchronized ariel acrobatics
--ABHOR idol-singers
--Can fly just about ANYTHING
--Only people to JOINTLY share amateur aviation acrobatics awards.
--Believe a woman's proper place is in the command chair of any capital starship.
---Can fly tactical AND do bridge duty, but if both are on duty, they MUST be doing the same thing; otherwise one will ignore regulations and argue with the other over proper procedure.
--Jumpstarted the 'skintight spacesuit' fashion craze again...
---Able to drive subordinates insane by issuing the same orders in stereo...
--Able to provide their OWN bridge point defense forcefield...
--Manic-Depression---when one's manic, the other's depressive, and vice-versa.
--Just ordered a Main Cannon strike on Gendo's residence(being the Admiral's kids is FUN)
--Tend to test each other's boyfriends....if he can't tell the difference, ditch him. if he can tell the difference between them, keep him. If he can, but is turned on by the idea of doing twins, ATfield him...

*Rolls on the ground while laughing* I loved that last one!!!!

Another good one!

To add to the Rei Hunter list:

---Everybody comments how GOOD they look in command Whites...
---Zentraedi feel even more loyalty to them; she's a clone like them(extend this to include Tirolians if the Hunters adopt triplets).
---Maia Sterling has somebody around with an even more unusual family background than herself...
---Makes the idea of a human Invid like Ariel look positively MUNDANE in comparison...

In short, the RT universe would likely be much kinder to the EVA children than the NGE-verse. They'd actually be well adjusted.

Incidently, taalismn, your little EVA-child what ifs are all proving to be good fodder for the campaign I'm cobbling together. That and some pics recently released for an official EVA what if: Evangelion Anima.

Thanks...Glad I could help...when you get it together, feel free to private-message me the details...

Really, though...In NGE, families are dysfunctional by DESIGN, in Robotech they're dysfunctional by CIRCUMSTANCE...In Robotech, the enemies can be fought with guns, ingenuity, courage, and occasionally reason and compassion...In NGE, they can only be fought by global conspiracies and traumatized children piloting warped JudeoChristian ideology bio-golems...In NGE, clones are the stuff of tragic conspiracy...In Robotech they're the hot new singles scene...In NGE N2 mines do jack but pretty lights...In Robotech Reflex Cannons blow through just about ANYTHING....In Robotech, it takes entire freakin' alien armadas to threaten Humanity, and even then there's plenty of us to carry on the fight...In NGE, it takes a bunch of old men, one demented nut, and a Lilith clone to make us all go SPLUSH...In NGE, the warriors go nuts, absorbed into their mecha, quit their jobs, go catatonic, or else get painfully assimilated and are forced to committ suicide when they take a few hits...In Robotech, what doesn't instantly kill the characters gives them the excuse to drag their battered bodies out of their shot-up mecha and into the next episode to get even....In NGE, Children fight for their scheming unappreciative adults...In Robotech, the adults will lay down their LIVES to protect kids...

In NGE, if you're the Evangelion pilot, you're pretty much IT....nothing else aside from the handful of similar units can even TOUCH the enemy....You're on your own...
In Robotech, you got wingmates, Destroids, Cycloners, Hovertankers, Resistance Cells, Battlefortresses...heck...sometimes even some of your former enemies.... backing you up...

Frankly, which do YOU think is going to be more conducive to happy childhoods?

RT, no argument from me. Still there are some very interesting ideas in EVA. BTW, if you haven't seen the trailer for Rebuild of Evangelioin 2- its strongly hinted that after Rebuild 1 the EVA series takes some unusual turns.

Those are great ones! Please keep them coming!

Now, we need an excuse to slip a unit of the Dinochrome Brigade outside Tokyo-3.
Hellbores versus Evangelions? Mark XXXIIIs versus the Magi?
Come to think of it...Mark XXXIIIs versus Invid or Robotech Masters?

Wow, talk about oppisites in almost everything. NGE makes Robotech look like one of those stories were everyone lives happily ever after.

Compared to NGE..Robotech -IS-

a little omake:

-Gendo descends into the lower levels of Terminal Dogma and enters a certain room...the Reiqurium...He goes to the central cylinder and turns on the light, looking at at the purple-haired form within...
"You're not Rei!"
"You think?!"*CRASH**Meaty SMACK*"..Urgh!..."*THUD*

A minute later, Zor Prime II is finished stripping the clothes off a beaten- unconscious Gendo, and is finishing getting dressed, muttering to himself all the while...
"Of all the places to have to stash backups...why'd I have to choose THIS hellhole?! Akagi's not even a REAL blonde!"

ROFLMAO!!! I always love seeing bad things happen to Gendo! I really hated that character in that show! Yeah for ZOR!!! Hit him again Zor!

"Lieutenant Nova Satori, Global Military Police...WE're here to place Ikari Gendo under arrest. Here's our warrent."
"'GMP'?! What the hell is THAT?! You don't have authority to enter here!"
*ZAPFT!* "AUGH!!!"*thud*"...my leeggggg!!!!..."
"Oh, excuse me, this is my OTHER authority...a Nightstalker laser pistol."
"Er, ma'am...technically the Nightstalker's a BATTLOID-sized weapon scaled for mecha, not a handheld personal weapon...What you're holding is more likely a PANTHER laser pistol..."
"Corporal, that would be just plain silly...A battloid-scaled weapon would have vaporized this man, not put a cauterized hole through his leg...I'm aggressive, but not homicidal...so obviously I'm holding a Nightstalker PISTOL...understand? I'll have no model-sheet nitpicking on this mission!"
"...yes, ma'am..."
"Good, however, if we should encounter any more delays in executing this arrest warrent, we're authorized to use mecha-scale weapons. That better?"
"Quite, ma'am."
"Now, start moving squads in, and let's get this over with."

ROFLMAO!!! That was another great one! Gendo get's arrested!

YAAA!! Down with Gendo!

At least she didn't use a tri-laser.

It would have been funny if she would have!

I'm just picturing an EVA unit(or equivalent-sized mecha) with a bazooka-style one shot launcher, and a missile the size of an old-fashioned Titan II ICBM...

"See that ship in orbit? Betcha can't hit it."

As for a GMP storming of the Geofront...Bakelite might still pose a problem(no way to dissipate the heat if the poor EBA-suited trooper's covered in the gunk), but if they could shut the stuff off fast enough, their buddies might be able to chip/burn them out fast enough to prevent hypoxia and serious burns...

Send in the GMP robots first

Who'd win in a fist-fight:

Field Marshal Anatole Leonard, or SEELE Chairman Keele Lorenz?(depending on what sources you use, the latter is either the Wandering Jew or a cyborg; eitehr way he's going to have some nasty surprises..and uses a cane...THe former is a military specialist in, despite his Baron Harkonenisc physique, is also in reasonably good shape and also fights dirty....)?


Playboy hovertanker Sean Phillips or playboy double-agent Rouyji Kaji? (The latter's likely to make a pass at Marie Crystal, giving Phillips the openning to bean him with a chair)

Guerilla Brat Annie Labelle or Military Otaku Kensuke Aida?

Free-spirited pistol-packing hawt Captain Misato Kusaragi or hard-nosed armor-uniformed exotic Lieutenant Nova Satori?

Louie Nichol's model Bioroid or Pen-Pen?

1. Leonard, he's actually Wilson Fisk's grandson and has his grandfather's superhuman strength. Truthfully, EVA cyber-tech doesn't seem advanced enough to give Lorenz enough of an edge and I'm going to give him a significant advantage. Plus the whole "SEELE is run by Longinus" thing is actually nothing more than fan speculation out of control.

2. Sean, the ASC seems to give their hovertankers a good amount of hand-to-hand training. Cases-in-point: Bowie sends a guy across the room in a fight with Marie's squad and Dana gives a Masters' goon a fatal blow in hand-to-hand. That and I doubt Kaji has been directly involved in a real fight.

3. Annie, she survives quite well on an Invid occupied Earth. Kensuke, well he's just a geek, and as one myself, I doubt he has any sort of fighting ability or is in good shape.

4. I really don't know. However, I guarantee a certain hovertanker who lost his commision would video tape it and sell the tape to pay-per-view for a hefty sum of money.

5. Pen-Pen. The penguin can at least move, the model Bioroid not-so-much.

The LaBelle-Aida fight was a ringer anyway....I shoulda mentioned aforehand that Annie's actually fired off an SMG(without any apparent problems from recoil) and a rocket launcher(admittedly with less control)...Kensuke's gunfodder...


Misato versus Dana Sterling?

Scenario gets too easy after Shadow Chronicles anyway...

Bridge Bunny: "Sir, the aliens are demanding our surrender! How should we procceed?"
Gendo: "Lock down the GeoFront, and prepare to launch the EVAs...Let's see them fight through AT Fields!"
*FWASH*
Male Voice: "Hands up, Mister Gendo...nobody moves, nobody gets hurt."
Gendo turns around...there's Scott Bernard in Cyclone armor, a squad of Cyclone troopers, all with drawn and aimed weapons, and Ariel in the center of the formation.
Fujisku: "Wow...that was almost like -Star Trek-!"
Ritsuko: "Teleportation's impossible!"
Bernard: "Well, we in the REF don't feel like we're doing our best if we don't do at least one impossible thing before lunch. Now...hands up!"
Gendo: "I don't think s-**ZATTZZZ*NNNghgghhHHH!!!%"(WHUM)
Shinji: (watching over a monitor) "AHHH! Is he dead!?"
Bernard: "Don't worry, he's just stunned. He'll be all right in a few minutes."
Shinji: (under breath)"....too bad...."

ROFLMAO!!! That was a great one! I always enjoy Gendo getting hurt or killed! I hated that character in that show! Thank you for giving him what he deserves!

Ritsuko: "It was worth setting this up just to see him again..."
(pan out to a remodelled Reiquarium with nude Gendos floating around in it...at the end of the tank an automated trawl line scoops them up one by one, conveys them to a tube which drains, then with a *FWHUMP* dresses them in identical black and red outfits, puts a set of orange glasses on them, then boots them out towards a door...They have enough time to scowl, tent their hands in the Gendo Pose, and stalk out the door...outside there comes a THUMP, BANG, ZAP, CRACK, or SPLHLUT)
"...get his just desserts..." Akagi grins as Gendo #47 gets eviscerated by an Invid Scout.

Arrggghhhhh!!! The thought of him in that condition is very distribing!!!!

I know...'The Nude Gendos'...sounds like a rock group, doesn't it....

A band who could change their name and they'll sell more music that way!

Very disturbing on the first part. But loving the second part.

"Okay...who's dumb idea was it to make these halls large enough for one of those things to fit down?
-Anonymous Section-2 agent referring to Hovertank now blocking Temrinal Dogma corridor...

"NOw, com'on Dante, you have to admitt...tobogganing down that launch shaft was fun!..."
"Sean, you weren't the one who had to dodge that speeding launch catapult!"
"If we were going to play 'dive bomber', maybe we should have let the TASC people take this first?"
"Louie, they'd just say 'it's a hole in the ground...it's YOUR problem! Deal with it!'"

Man you guys are good!

"Dodge it? Why didn't you shoot it?"

GMP: This is infiltrator group 6, we've just finished unlocking the doors behind the tank full of that red-eyed girl... Holy $%^#!
Nova: What is it?
GMP: Ma'am they're mass producing Zentraedi Female Power Armor down here.


Alternate:
GMP: This is infiltrator group 6, we've just finished unlocking the doors behind the tank full of that red-eyed girl... Holy $%^#!
Nova: What is it?
KOS-MOS: Greetings I'm KOS-MOS, anti-Gnosis humanoid battle android.

Alternate 2:
GMP: This is infiltrator group 6, we've just finished unlocking the doors behind the tank full of that red-eyed girl... Holy $%^#!
Nova: What is it?
HK-47: Greeting: Hello unfortunate meatbag. I am HK-
Statement: My assassination protocols indicate that I must kill one, Gendo Ikari.
Query: Do you know where this individual is?

LOL I agree! That one is funny. Reminds me of a novella where this crew would have potato sack races down certain sections of the ship. During one of these races the captain injured himself during his turn racing. Of course the ship got lost for like three days on their way back to base.

GMP Officer Assigned to Stand Watch Over the Reiquarium:"I don't know what's more unsettling...the way they all leap and rush when we throw the food pellets in...or when they all get in a conga-line and perform 'Under the Sea' from 'The Little Mermaid'."

GMP Sentry: "Okay...I'm standing watch over a room full of 300-foot tall skeletons...in dim light...I am NOT freaking out...I am NOT freaking out...I am NOT freaking out..."

GMP Soldier: "It's a good thing we got these GMP 'bots here..."
GMP Robot: "Yes, indeed, meat-bag. Target Rich Environment!"
GMP Soldier: "Uh-oh..."

LOL That was a great one. Reminds me of "We are Centurians!"

You are to good at doing this!

Yep! That is how Taalismn wuill take over the world. He grab it when we are all laughing to hard!

When you got good ingrediants to start with, your chances of making a good dish are greater....

Now...if the Hunters have adopted the original Rei and two decanted ‘spares’, what are the names of the two ‘newbies’?
“Well, Mom and Dad wanted to originally name us for their old friends...But since there were only two of us without names, they couldn’t figure out which of us would be called Vanessa, Sammie, or Kim....Leaving one out would have been unfair...”
“Then they wanted to go classical myth...Athena for one, the Greek pantheon being big on virgin births and all that...”
“But that would have had one of us being called ‘Aphrodite’....and Mom thought that would make me sound like I was a bimbo....”
“They discussed Nike or ‘Ne-Kay’...’Nikki’...after the goddess of victories...”
“That sounded rather martial though...Mom and Dad didn't want to 'curse' us like that...them all being intent on us having 'normal' lives and all that. ”
"Beat being called Reibby(Rei-B) and Raci(Rei-C)."
"Definitely"

“Rick, Rick, Rick...didn’t you learn ANYTHING from watching Mir and me? We have two daughters...you think you can handle THREE?”
“It was Lisa’s idea....she really got bit hard by the maternal bug...If I didn’t go along, she threatened to come out of retirement and demote me!”
“Well....could be worse...”
“I’m not complaining...but I’ve had to have the girls wear name tags!”
“You have that problem too?”
“Hi, Vince...what do you mean?”
“Bowie brought over Musica and her sister the other day....I sat down and talked about family matters and how she was getting along with my son for a half-hour before I realized I was taling to Allegra.”

“Don’t get this wrong, Mister Sterling, but I’m used to a household where I housekeep for a drunken slob who greets each morning with a beer and a screaming belch, has trouble making a simple ramen, and who has been cited for ‘vehicular terrorism’. I’m not sure I can fit into a NORMAL household.”
“Normal...heh-heh....Shinji, Miriya explodes coffee, and neither she, Dana, or Maia understand speed limits....You’ll fit in just fine...”

“This is...HOMEWORK?! ‘Translate this passage in ancient Tirolian into modern Zentraedi’, ‘Plot an Nth-dimensional vector between these two points in galactic space, factoring for celestial drift and gravitic warping’, ‘Correct this mecha design to allow high speed transformation in forward flight’, ‘Set up a tactical formation in this terrain situation with at least two fall-back positions’?!”
“Glad I was just a dumb grunt coming up through the Southern Cross military academy, especially seeing what the post-REF Tirolian school system is like, ‘Sis’!”
“BOWIE!!! GET BACK HERE AND HELP ME OUT HERE!!!! I’M AN EVA PILOT, _NOT_ A STARSHIP ENGINEER OR A GENERAL!”
“Now, now, aren’t you sad you didn’t go into Armored Cavalry?”

Field Marshal Leonard: “I want the penguin.”


-A large room somewhere, filled with young women....various hair styles, various hair colors, different dresses...some in casual clothing, many in uniforms, some in I-doubt-even-Praxians-would-wear-that-on-a-dare fashion...some rather thin and willowy, others showing some developing heft...Most have readily visible red eyes and pale skin, though some are wearing sunglasses or tinted contacts, and others seem to have skin-dye jobs or melatonin work....
“Thank you all and welcome to the Not So Secret Vat Babies Club meeting! Our gratitude to the Tiresia Marriot for providing us with this meeting hall and the refreshments! “
“Now to the meat of this convention....What dumb new AT-Field tricks have you learned?”
“I can open a jar of spaghetti sauce without using my hands!”
“I don’t need an umbrella on rainy days!”
“I shattered an asteroid.”
(sudden silence)
“...I can swat mosquitoes with mine....”
“Does sweeping floors with an AT Field count?”

ROFLMAO!! That was almost too much! I almost died laughing Taalismn!

PLEASE! If at all possible, keep them coming!

Yes, please keep them coming!

REF: "Ma'am...they're mass-producing INVID COMMAND BATTLOIDS down here."

Edwards: Beseiged in Tiresia, sets loose his Invid Inorganics to distract the REF while he makes his escape when a transmission comes in..
Edwards: "Ignore them."
Ghost Comtech: "Sir! It's a live transmission! It's in Southern Cross comcodes...It claims to be from Field Marshal Leonard!"
Edwards: "What the hell?! That can't be!!! They're all the way across the galaxy!!!"
(Vid screen comes on....It is indeed Field Marshal Leonard gazing out of the screen with a smirk. Edwards is somewhat taken aback, but regains his composure)
Edwards: "Nice trick, Hunter!"
Leonard: "Oh, I assure you, Riley, I'm transmitting live...Just like we did back in Saigon, remember? Blackjack?...I see you've gone and made a deal with ANOTHER group of aliens!"
Edwards: "So you've made contact with Hunter and Obstat and gone crawling back to them? Just as well; I'm redoing our deal, and whatever you're help you're giving that whelp Hunter won't matter a damn! See you on...EARTH!(motions to his crew to launch the Icarus)"
Leonard: "Oh, I'm not exactly helping them, Edwards...but I am cleaning up my part of my association with your little coup....Starting with the biggest evidence...you..(smirks)"

(A wormhole opens up above the Icarus's hidden silo and a remodelled Mass Production EVA, wings and all, drops through on top of the cruiser, Spear of Logenius copy spearing first into the drive sections, then carving through the bridge, bisecting a half-dozen Ghostriders and finally Edwards at the chest....)

More Fun with Raising Ayanamis(yes, I know there's a video dating game called that...)

Admiral Rick Hunter: "One good side effect of going prematurely grey....Anybody who doesn't know our past history looks at my hair and the girls' light blue hair and assumes I really -AM- their father.
They then complement Lisa on having triplets....
We really don't want to tell them the truth."

ROFLMAO! Poor Rick. I have no sympathy for Edawrds and Leonard.

He, he! Some more good ones!

GMP Scout(infiltrating the Geofront): "Well, we spotted Gendo's office...nice big office....just one desk... lot of open space...BIG picture window...Man, you could land and park a Logan or a Hovertank in there!"
Nova: "THERE'S an idea..."

Good one!

Gendo walkes into his office and stops dead because he is stareing down the barror of a hover tanks main gun.

Poor Gendo! Not! Shoot! Shoot! :::Trying to help the tanker to decide to fire his main gun thru Gendo!:::

Yehaaaa!! Too bad he wasn't taped over the barrel using duct tape! That way he couldn't be missed at all! SHOOT!!!!

"Funky hood-ornament you got there, Wilker...You do know that if you switch to Battloid mode, you better not sit your mech down with him still taped there?"
Gendo: "...mmmftpf-mpphhhhhHH!!!"

It might be worth the smear on the armor.
