Shinji Ikari is the 'Third Child' and chosen pilot of Evangelion Unit-01, drafted into NERV by its commander and his father, Gendo Ikari. At first glance, Shinji's a polite and soft-spoken teenager who seems to meekly follow the instructions he's given. Under the surface, however, he struggles with loneliness and self-loathing. The bonds he's formed with other NERV agents and especially his fellow Evangelion pilots has let him relax and open up to some extent, but he still fears being hurt and hurting others in turn... and gaining people he loves makes the prospect of losing them that much more terrifying. Yet for all his anxieties, or perhaps because of them, he acts with impulsive protectiveness in a crisis and a willingness to risk himself to safeguard another. Shinji's delicate heart means he may sometimes run away--from fighting, from relationships, from himself--but for good or ill, he keeps finding his way back.

Notes

Shinji has had three separate players to date. In the logs listed below, from 1/15/2022 through 7/4/2022, he was played by Beard (who also played the first Dr. Hell); from 7/21/22 through 2/25/23, he was played by Ru (who also played Brera Sterne); and from 7/1/23 onwards, he is being played by Ayu as a dual role with Kaworu Nagisa.

Background

- Born June 6, UC 0081, to mother Yui Ikari and father Gendo Ikari (né Ayanami).

- Shinji's mother passed away when he was three.

- Shinji's father passed custody of him to Shinji's teacher when Shinji was eleven. Father and child did not see each other or communicate for three years.

- On October 4, UC 0095, Commander Gendo Ikari called Shinji to NERV Japan in Tokyo-3 in order to pilot Evangelion Unit-01 and defeat the Angels.

- On the same date, Shinji reluctantly piloted Unit-01 and defeated the Fourth Angel.

- Shinji has been piloting Unit-01 and defeating Angels with a greater or lesser number of fellow Eva pilots, NERV pilots, and NERV allies since then...

- ...until September 29, UC 0097, when Shinji was dishonorably discharged from NERV for threatening it with Unit-01 as a result of the battle with the Twelfth Angel, designated Bardiel.

- On September 30, UC 0097, Shinji dropped out of school and left Tokyo-3 with the intent to never return or pilot again.

- On October 10, UC 0097, Shinji joined the crew of the Ra Mari II, and by proxy the Three Ships Alliance, as an assistant cook.

- There, Shinji currently remains.
