Wow, and here I thought you were dropping Eidolon. Nice to see it up and running again, in a fashion. And a suggestion for the british group... How about the Library of England? They're pretty likely to have a copy of the Scrolls, or have just stolen them out-right. And if England's underwater, they have enough tech and resources to pull off building an underwater city. I'm also listening to Suite for an I-Jin, so that's probably making me a little biased.
Gendo.
Kaji.
Lucifer.
While the Library of England did indeed participate a bit in the Eidolon Program, to find out how much, you'll have to post up another prompt.
Gendo Ikari
1: Was a closet fan of Star Trek, but regarded almost anything British as "dull and uninspired". He kept this from his wife though, who loved Monty Python, Doctor Who and Upstairs Downstairs with all her heart. He only consented to watching anything she liked if she agreed to give him a blowjob afterwards. As a result, he remembered very little of anything he was shown.
2: Was never a particularly religious man. He felt that humans just tried to put to words what they couldn't understand before science unveiled the darkness. Again, something he loved about his wife but never understood was her faith in a brighter tomorrow and a universe with truly good intent behind it. He believes she would understand his actions though. He has to.
3: Knows something is off with the Doctor from the moment he sees him, but cannot place what it is. This uncertainly, combined with his obvious skill and talent, made Gendo mentally dub him "someone who needs watching". He was thus perfectly willing to accommodate his son's foolish demands in exchange for piloting. After all, it is said to "Keep your friends close and enemies closer..."
4: Is so sure that Fuyutsuki was in love with his wife that he could never betray NERV. The man's will only extends enough to try and steer the course towards Instrumentality along lines less unsettling to the old man.
Kozou Fuyutsuki
1: Actually met the Doctor in 1997. The two men had bumped into eachother in a coffee shop, and Fuyutsuki had spilled coffee all over the other man's shirt. In good humor, the Doctor had merely offered to replace the professor's coffee, so long as Fuyutsuki got him one of his own. The professor agreed and they began talking on a wide variety of subjects. They soon got around to the subject of future evolution, a subject they disagreed deeply on. The Doctor was of the opinion humankind had nowhere to go but forward and up, while Fuyutsuki believed humanity was seeing it's twilight hour soon. The Doctor quite cheerfully stated he could prove Fuyutsuki wrong. The Professor, unsure but feeling like he could trust this stranger, agreed.
The Doctor led Fuyutsuki out to his car, parked in a back alley... Which then turned into the strangest construct Fuyutsuki had ever seen. The Doctor just turned and grinned at Fuyutsuki's dumbfounded expression.
"Fancy a Sunday drive?"
2: The Doctor's demonstrations left Fuyutsuki... Feeling both wiser and yet stupider, as a vast realm of possibilities opened up before him. The Doctor calmly told him afterwards that the Professor had intrigued him, and that, should he wish to join him, he need only say the word. Fuyutsuki stuttered an excuse that sounded so weak... So pitiful... Yet the Doctor merely nodded and grinned.
"Ahh... Got someone here, I see?"
Fuyutsuki denied it, just before his student, Yui Ikari, began calling for him some distance away. At the Doctor's grin, Fuyutsuki merely sighed.
"Well... Until the day you've got nothing else... The offer stands." With that, the Doctor vanished, leaving Fuyutsuki to meet his... Prize pupil.
3: It was meeting the Doctor, Yui's optimism for the future of humanity, and an old friend that compelled Fuyutsuki to begin funneling information to the Eidolon Program nations. Said old friend, a teacher of Kyoko Soryu's had caught up with him after her descent into insanity and demanded to know what the hell was going on. Fuyutsuki had stared at him for a moment, trying to recall the cover stories, the lies, tried to remember Gendo's argument that had made him agree to cover up for SEELE's atrocity...
And all he could see in his mind were countless stars and Yui's smiling face.
4: He took the codename "CARDINAL" based upon Tom Clancy's series of novels, which he had occasionally indulged in.
Lucifer
1: Tried to keep as low a profile as possible throughout the centuries, but trouble kept finding him, turning him from hero to villain to legend to myth, and the cycle always started anew. He figured it was the nature of his Knowledge-Humans grew and changed and evolved, and he remained the same. New knowledge accumulated, of course, but he felt like he was standing still next to humans. The ever vigilant, self-appointed guardian.
2: Despite his claims, a number of humans over the centuries did understand him, at least to a point. But they grew old and died, or were injured or took ill and died, or were simply killed... And he remained. He supposed it was better to claim nobody understood him, than to admit to the fact that he kept having to start over with humans to find someone to understand him and then have to watch them die. Gone to a place he knew, but could never go.
Despite this... He keeps making connections with people across the universe. He supposes he cannot escape denial anymore than any other human can.
3: Was first called "Doctor", or the closest equivalent, by the pre-historic Greeks. He rather liked the title and what it entailed-Healing the sick, and figuring out the unknown. He infinitely prefers it to "Morningstar", which he only uses when he's enraged.
4: Did not inspire Doctor Who... As far as he knows. He cites it as a fascinating coincidence, or proof of parallel development of a culture meme, or something like that. All the same, their ideas for the character intrigued him, and he has adopted a British accent and fashion similar to the Doctor ever since.
And yes... He does have a "sonic screwdriver".
