Real Life Info: Your name: Alejandro (Alex, Al-X or Al is fine) Melchor E-mail address: alejandrom@mexred.net.mx Homepage: http://www.mexred.net.mx/~amelchor/ CHARACTER Name: Toshiro "The Hound" Inukage Age: 26 Nationality: Japanese Physical description: 1.66m, around 70Kg, lean build with a deceptive slouch. Hair, color and style: Dark brown, a little on the wavy side and parted midway, reaches down to the base of his neck. Eyes: One. Light brown; with the right lighting, it takes a yellowish tint. Other appearance notes: Wears an eyepatch over his left eye, lost on the 2nd. Impact. While on duty, he looks like an informal version of the typical Man in Black, his demeanor and the fact tha he never wears dark glasses revealing that he's not one. Off duty, he favors semi-casual clothing. Family status (mother, father, siblings...): Orphaned cousin (14yrs) staying with a foster family; all the elders of their families are dead. Current residence: Apartment center near the High School. PERSONALITY General: Velvet glove over iron fist; he's always polite and generally pleasant to be around with but, benath his apparent appeasing behaviour lies an indomitable resoluteness. When he insults, he makes it sound like praising, and nobody's sure when he's being ironic. He has a soft spot for kids; given that he practically raised his little cousin. Special (insanities?): A little paranoid due to his proffession, but hides it very well. Quirks of note: When making an observation about perceptiveness, he taps his eyepatch. Also, he never keeps any phone number or address on any kind of electronic storage (cellular memory, electronic agenda, etc.) favoring their commitment to his memory. Love interests: None yet. Friends: A few MAGI techs. Rivals, professional: There was an agent from the CIA, but he's dead now. Rivals, romantic: None yet. Enemies: None yet SKILLS/APTITUDE Skills of note: His major skills lie on an intimate understanding on what makes the following tick: people and computers. He majored in both Psychology and Theology, with Computer Science as complimentary training; he learned english, german and some latin in order to understand his resarch material. He has considerable acting ability, as well as the social intuition to know what needs to be said for a number of purposes. Meaning, he's an accomplished liar (not compulsive, mind you). He's trained in intrusion methods, but it's not his forte; he prefers to hack a system than go into a building. His left ear has developed acute hearing, to compensate for his lack of sight on that side; this as a result of his combat training. He lives alone, so he has learned to cook; he's not great, but his dinners are edible. Lack of skills of note: His handwriting is a step short of illegible; that's why he carries a small laptop at all times. Sometimes he acts smug and overconfident; he knows more than he lets out, but a lot less than what he thinks. He can also outthink himself when going through a paranoid episode. He can't ride a bicycle, motorbike or other two-wheeled vehicle. COMBAT Skill of note: Aikido, basic military training. Marksmanship a little above military training. He learned both while undergoing training at NERV. Reactions of note: He'd rather not show that he knows how to fight. He first tries to outpsych the opponent, getting him (or her) to calm down and defuse the situation; if he deems it appropriate, he will threaten. But if said situation explodes regardless, he tries to make the most damage in the least of time; fighting dirty is not below him, and he prefers to outthink than to outhit. BACKSTORY Before the 2nd Impact, he was a model student; not particularly popular among the children, but the adults pointed out the bright future of such a bright child. Until Hell hit. He lost an older brother and his left eye during evacuation; a year later, his father, a Red Cross paramedic, drowned in a rescue mission, and her mother was forced to take any job she could find to sustain him and his recently orphaned baby cousin. The hard times helped Toshiro to develop fangs. Social fangs. He never ceased to be a model student, but now he kept an eye on all people around him, looking for openings in their personalities to get something from them... and help his family along. He cajoled his way to a UN-funded college scholarship and worked hard to make himself valuable to all departments he became part-time assistant to. In the middle of his studies, he was contacted by a person impressed with his skills, who offered him special training so as to join a special, unknown division of the UN. He understood immediately: they wanted him to become a spy. Unbeknownst to him at the moment, he was joining NERV Intelligence. With a now generous salary, he dropped his assistanships and dedicated fully at getting his degrees and completing his training; he won the nickname of "The Hound" for his ability to find persons anywhere, mixing his knowledge in psychology and computer hacking with his ability to get information out of people. And for his sometimes yellow eye. His mother died shortly after he graduated; he lived with his cousin for a while and they grew very close, but Toshiro's involvement in covert operations forced him to separate from his cousin, getting him the best foster home he could find with his newfound influence. Currently, he's sort of a double agent; his public face is that of Counselor at the Shinonome High School; while to NERV personnel he's a liaison officer from the Marduk Institute; this position allows him to carry out his true mission for NERV: closely monitor the development of EVA pilots and staff officers. This double fronting has made him a little paranoid; afraid that _any_ of his covers might be blown; this conflicts with his desire (and ability) to reach out. He has enough clearance as to be allowed to be present in Central Dogma during Angel attacks. And sometimes, he will give advice to the children during combat. ====================================================================== === Evangelion RP guide ver 1.00...

Player name and e-mail address: Alejandro Melchor, alejandrom@mexred.net.mx --- STATS Speed: **** Power: ** Endurance: **** Will: ******* Strategy: ***** Cunning: ****** Ego: ****** ---------------- SKILLS Aikido: Practitioner Handguns: Disciple Assault Rifles: Novice --- Attitude: Will try to defuse the situation before it explodes into fighting. If it _does_ result into fighting, he'll look for the fastest solution. On a life and death situation, he will not hesitate to kill. He will regret it later, but he'll still be alive. Will always try to maneuver so as to his left side is against a wall. --- Weaknesses: He's missing his left eye, which hampers him on combat due a lack of depth perception; his left is an effective blind side; his hearing has developed to compensate a little, but not enough as to allow him to function as a normal fighter of his level. Two dimensional perception affects him in that he'll sometimes miss a grab and will end up being hit, so he prefers to dodge and sidestep. This also affects his marksmanship; he's very good at close and medium range due to his 2D perception acting as a flat targeting screen, but he will misjudge distances on long range and miss unless he has reference points (like normal-height lamp posts he can calculate perspective with) or is using a telescopic sight; however, it's not assured to work. He can't hit anything with thrown objects from medium range onwards.
