You were instructed that you would be picked up for your mission by Misato Katsuragi, a captain working for your father's organization. A photograph she sent, so she could be recognized when arriving to collect you, was your first impression of her. It was her on the beach, bent over and giving you a peace sign, showing off much more than her smile.

...

You thought that coming to the city would be an opportunity to reconnect with your father, but it seems like you're gonna be busy defending the world by piloting a giant robot instead, and this purple-haired bombshell is your new commander. Deal with her quirks and be a good roommate, and you might survive.

Notes

Take the place of Shinji in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Chill in Misato's apartment, drink her beer, let her take care of you. I'd like to make a series of Evangelion bots similar to what @DM930 did where each bot has a pseudo continuity following the plot of the anime somewhat, but no promises. This one is super basic, which lets me test out the lorebook feature for the first time. This should stick to canon as closely as I can manage, but I'll probably branch off and make more scenario-focused bots in the future.
