Real Life Info: Your name: Andy Kent E-mail address: akent@pdq.net Homepage: http://members.tripod.com/~AvatarHR/pl.html CHARACTER Name: Rokutanda Tsutomu Age: 36 Nationality: Japanese Physical description (height, weight, build): 6'1", 150 lbs. Skinny and leggy. Hair, color and style: Purple, generally messy. Eyes: Brown Family status (mother, father, siblings...): Married to Yayoi, 37-year-old engineer that works overseas. No surviving relatives. Current residence: A small apartment, 3 min. from NERV HQ. PERSONALITY General: Fairly easygoing. Will often get overly devoted to his work, and emotional if something goes wrong with same. (We're talking Soun Tendo tears here.) Deeply in love with his wife. Makes friends easily, although his manner can be grating, especially when he's the odd man out among couples. Special (insanities?): Has long conversations with his dead cousin, Ginta. They were rivals, and Tsutomu isn't going to let a little thing like death stop that. ;p Quirks of note: Doesn't realize that plaid isn't fashionable. Love interests: His wife, Yayoi. Friends: On middling terms with Luna; she gives order, he takes order, no complaints. Rivals, professional: Would -love- to have one, but he's the only chief tech. Rivals, romantic: None. Enemies: His cousin, Ginta, deceased. SKILLS/APTITUDE Skills of note: Excellent with mechanical, electronic, and biotech equipment. Fully familiar with the Evangelion's composition and function, if not origin. Fairly competent with a computer, although he's no hacking wizard. Plays a mean game of tennis. Lack of skills of note: His fashion sense is blind. In Tsutomu's world, nothing clashes. Plaid with neon yellow is a good match. He can't work a stick shift, either. COMBAT Skill of note: None. No training, no lessons, no experience, nada. Reactions of note: If he actually got into a fight, he'd probably try to pound with his fists. (It might even work.) He's much more likely to wet himself than fight against somebody who has a weapon, though. BACKSTORY Tsutomu had a rough childhood. Not the kind you get when your folks croak and you dig through dumpsters for years... the kind an unlucky person gets. He spent most of his time on the losing end of a sibling rivalry with his cousin, Suou Ginta, and pining after a particular girl. In high school, the fact that Ginta eventually started dating this girl fueled Tsutomu's belief in Murphy's Law. Their marriage, soon after, confirmed it. Fortunately, he met Yayoi in his senior year of class. After a chance meeting or two, they started dating, found that they were completely compatible, and one thing led to another. The Second Impact killed both Ginta and his wife; however, Tsutomu and Yayoi were relatively unscathed. He had found an unusual talent with machinery, and she with architecture, both needed skills in the Post-Impact world. Her work keeps her overseas a great deal of the time; thus, they've decided to wait to have children (good idea, since Tsutomu is infertile) and the subject doesn't come up often. He was hired in 2009 as a technician at a small UN splinter organization... while he hardly engineered the basic Evangelion premise, he is responsible for a lot of the little things that keep them operational. He never let go of his rivalry with Ginta, and whenever he makes a significant accomplishment, he will gloat (in private) to Ginta's ghost. What a guy, huh? ;p Evangelion RP guide ver 1.00... ----------------------- TSUTOMU ROKUTANDA Player name and e-mail address: Andy Kent, akent@pdq.net --- STATS Speed: ***** Power: *** Endurance: *** Will: ** Strategy: *** Cunning: ** Ego: *** ---------------- SKILLS Fists: Novice. Anything else: Non-existent. Simple, neh? --- Attitude: Tsutomu is -not- a combatant. If enraged, physically, he might start flailing his fists, but he'll back off if he actually hurts somebody, or is obviously out of his league. Never uses a gun, pole, or whatever. --- Weaknesses: Nothing really specific... he's fairly gullible, but not incredibly so.
