Ginger [Asuka Langley Shikinami]

Someone's screaming, but you can't make out the words. They're muffled like they're coming through water, thick water, all around you. You're swallowed by it, sinking, flooded; but you're not drowning.

And just before you surface, the words rise in volume, reverberating like little thundercracks:

"GET OUT OF MY MIND!"

And fade, rumbling to nothing.

(SO THAT'S HOW PEOPLE DO THIS THING)

Yeah yeah okay everyone's doing it, QUESTION MEME yadda yadda I'm not c/ping that when you all know what I mean anyway.

I don't think I have a tag for this kind of thing yet. I am okay with forgetting to tag this for a bit, although if this ends up complicated enough I'll just pretend it's like a bonus memory registry or something. REPLIES MAY BE SLOOOOOOW because I am an overthinker and also you people with your over-100 wpms, you terrify me.

ANYWAY yeah I play THIS FLAILY HITTING-THINGS-WITH-OBJECTS PERSON HERE on Emerald and I also play Sterling's resident voreloli. (That would be Riful. Not Saya. Who I also once considered apping.)

ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTH OF THEM.

I was hoping going in that this game would result in some fantastically intense chardev for Asuka, and it was, but I .... really did not expect it to be so ... so. For one thing, I didn't expect it to come quite as close on the heels of her second memory as it did - and I certainly wasn't expecting it to be the memory it was, which was fantastic but as a result damn near everything I wrote in that last essay is no longer true, except on a basic "this is where we started from" level.

UNFORTUNATELY I AM TOO TIRED RN, but oh lord there is no way I'm not ESSAYING THE SHIT OUT OF THIS TOMORROW.

Seriously. I mean, I'll be honest at this point Asuka is well on her way to going almost completely off the rails in terms of ending up anywhere near any of her canon counterparts but it's happening in such logical ways, it's amazing. I can't actually complain. I didn't expect any of this, but that's what's making it so damned awesome.

ANYWAY, I don't have the energy for essaying atm but I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING because the fallout of this game is just going to be fantastic, it's going to affect everything from here on out and yeahhhhhhhhh 8D

I've never played an amnesia game before and I'm still feeling out how to balance that sense of "THIS IS [CHARACTER X]" with "BUT THEY DON't KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES", and - well, an essay actually seems like a good chance to firm up that basic bedrock THIS IS HOW I'M PLAYING both for myself and for everyone playing with me.

( this seemed like such a good idea at the time ;o; )

Name GINGER // ASUKA LANGLEY SHIKINAMI/SHIKINAMI ASUKA LANGLEY (responds to either order)
Age 14
Team ???

Height/Build BUILT LIKE A YOSHIYUKI SADAMOTO CHARACTER, SKINNY AS A TWIG :| - roughly the same height as Shinji, but maybe an inch or two on him, unsure!
Hair Color/Eye Color Reddish brown/Blue
Notable Traits In canon she typically ties her hair up with two "tails" to the side of the rest of the hair using the NERV-standard-issue A10 nerve clips like hairclips - this won't happen until she remembers that she did/still does so in game though; her right eyelid is noticeably scarred and missing eyelashes atm, but the eye itself works fine.

Other It's unclear if she's experienced any side effects from an Angel corrupting Unit 03 and invading her entry plug in canon as of yet and besides which, so let's just say "no" for now, or at least not in sufficient quantities to register on anyone's angel-ping. THIS MAY CHANGE, we will have to see what happens in the next movie. Once she remembers this she will likely not respond well emotionally to mental invasion, consensual or otherwise, regardless of previous experiences in-game, so ... be prepared for that.
