Mari Makinami ✦ Rebuild of Evangelion ✦ RESERVED
Player Info:
Nickname: Kattu
Age: 25 years old
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact:
Characters Played:
Character Info:
Name: Mari Makinami Illustrious
Age: 14 years old (Estimated - Evangelion pilots can only be of that age according to Ritsuko)
Canon: Rebuild of Evangelion
Pull Point: Before the ending of the movie, but after her fight scene.
Background Info:
History: Mari at the EvaWiki & Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 at the EvaWiki.
Personality: An enigma to the other characters around her, Mari doesn't speak boldly of her intentions or anything unless it's in regards to combat. When it comes to making friends, she seems dismissive of the idea, as it would require allowing people in. This doesn't mean she's spiteful or distrusting of those around her - in fact, she can be pleasant to speak with if she's in the proper mood. This simply boils down to the simple fact that having friends will get in the way of her goals and judging by how she pilots, most definitely in the way of combat. Her demeanor changes to suit her best for the situation: if she must be calm and knowledgeable, then she can pull it off with ease. If she needs to put up walls between her and another party, then her attitude shifts drastically to where she holds herself on a higher tier than the rest.
The most notable thing to take notice of when it comes to Mari is how well knowledgeable she is of the inner workings of the Eva systems. Even if she's considered a 'novice' pilot with no experience by the society around her, she's quick to prove them otherwise. Piloting is something she relatively enjoys and her bond with the Eva's is an unique one. Where others view them as machines for combat, Mari does that in a respectable manner, talking with them as if she's well aware just how sentient they are. Unusually gentle and loving towards them, it is with how she treats Eva-05 we're able to see that she is possible of some care: whether or not it's a shroud of deceit has yet to been determined. Furthermore, she has a fondness of LCL, and is able to detect it just by sniffing Shinji up close (using it to identify him as a pilot and knowing that he works for NERV with just that).
Combat is where Mari thrives and it's worth mentioning that she's pretty damn good at it. In comparison to Asuka, she can do considerable feats, but the stark contrast between the two is clear as day: where Asuka has elegance and expertise behind her methods, Mari's methods are a bit more chaotic. She exercises no tactics when it comes to battle - preferring to charge right in and take her opponent head on. There is no apprehension of reprimands, not any consideration for property damage when Mari takes the lead: all she cares for is victory. With that goal in her heart, she goes to harsh lengths to achieve it no matter what. With her attained (hidden) information regarding the Eva system, she activates EVA-02's Beast Mode and while she initially struggles with the effects it has on her, the role is one she easily fits into. Which goes without having to explain in depth as Mari herself is already pretty messy with her combat style. One thing to consider though is Mari's surprise whenever Rei shoves her away during the fight with Zeruel.
Her sanity is questionable with the combination of her battle tactics and just how serious she takes things. Singing songs as she charges out towards an Angel, activating Beast Mode with no regards to her own health, and just how attached she is with EVA-02 during such a transformation. Referring to the pair as 'we' instead of a pilot and unit, even going as far as to try to comfort it as they suffer together. Mari comes off as the type that doesn't need people because she has them to rely on instead, compassionate only to things that others treat as tools. Her opponents, on the other hand, are taunted endlessly. Foul-mouthed and bitter, she screams obscenities at them constantly. In short, Mari may be secretive about her methods, but the one obviously glaring fact about her is she's uncouth at times and benevolent at others, making her literally the craziest Eva pilot.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Death
Justification:
She's from Evangelion??As a child of Second Impact, Mari is one of the many who are part of the regeneration cycle of the world she comes from. It's up to her and many others at her age to help rebuild society and deal with all of the pressing issues that come along with it. Yet, it all feeds back into the same cycle, another Impact on the horizon. Along with this arcana, she shows chaotic attributes that lead her to be considered a blood knight, death an often occurrence with her. Lethargic in most normal things, Mari fits the negative bits of this arcana as well, finding herself frustrated and having to undergo change to adapt.Samples:
First Person Sample:
[ Ring, ring Prospero. If one happens to choose to answer this call, they will see a girl hanging upside down from a bar with the phone held in a manner as to not show her legs. Instead, it just focuses on the glasses that are sliding down her face at a slow rate and her insistence on pushing them back up, only to have the process repeat itself. ]
You know.. this place magically teleported a bunch of people from different worlds and timelines to a boring city in some supposed modern time, right? But people don't believe me when I tell them I've piloted giant robots--[ The word is spoken with some distaste - as if it was the improper way of explaining them. ]--they choose to exercise disbelief with that. Really? You people have to get your priorities straight. Plus, if I can run around and kill a bunch of shadows, then that means I'm more than good enough to save the world.
[ With a listless sigh, she lets the glasses fall off of her face entirely. ]
I wonder where I can find the real gullible ones at.. This place is so boring without anyone to really chat with or things to kill most of the time. A hour a day is such a bore. Oh well. [ With a wave of her other hand, she moves to cut the feed. ] Bye-bye now.
