Keep in mind, in the scene referenced CC!Kaworu was being depicted as a muscle-bound Adonis, because CC!Kaworu can reshape his body however he likes. Canon!Kaworu is an improbably skinny fourteen-year-old in a badly-fitting student uniform. The only real similarity is the coloring and the name, like someone heard about NERV from rumors and tried to write a show off it.
...Basically, "Children's Crusade" is to "Evangelion" as "Wormhole X-treme" is to "Stargate: SG1".

That is a very good point, and I should have thought of that. Well that's what I get for posting way past my bed-time I suppose

And I appreciate you posting it early.
An a pitch for the campaign, this chapter was top-notch.
Cabana boy? Mistress? You are not making it subtle Asuka.
I reiterate: Every new thing I hear about Children's Crusade makes me want to read it even more.

Giant clunky cell phones. Sega Genesis. Laserdiscs. SDAT players. It may be 2015, but technology kind of stalled in the wake of the Second Impact...

Who said she was trying to be subtle?

Subtlety would be counterproductive.

Sorry to continue the tangent about Stryp's AdEva campaign, but how do these games get started? And where can I go to apply?
Yeah, Asuka is likely going for Shock & Awe, totally desensitize Misato so when the lovebirds drop the N2 bomb that is the fact that they've been sleeping together for months, Misato'll just go "Meh" and take another pull of her beer.

Usually the GM will post somewhere that they are starting a game and are looking for X amount of players, at Y time. The Adeptus Evangelion irc channel is a good place to start, but there are always more players than there are GM's willing to run. You may have some luck here on SV, either as a PbP or on IRC. Honestly your best bet for getting in a game would be to start one yourself. As a note the next version of the AdEva beta is going to do some major changes as well, so you may want to wait for that to release before starting a game if you intend to do that.

I've never played any sort of pen-and-paper/text-based RPG, so GMing would be a very bad idea for me. Is there a thread anywhere for announcing IRC games of any kind, be they AdEva or otherwise?

https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/player-recruitment-thread.278/ this is the player recruitment thread for the RPing section of SV, you might be able to find a AdEva game on there, or join one one of the other RPGs that's on there.
irc://irc.rizon.net/AdeptusEvangelion would be the best place to look for a game, though I will warn you that there are far more players than GMs, so do not be surprised if there are no open games at the moment, and you may well be waiting awhile for a game to open up. You could also try asking around here on SV if anyone is interested in running AdEva, though usually if someone is they'll announce that they are looking for players.

Honestly, I couldn't care less if it's AdEva or not. Pathfinder, DnD, Nobilis, Exalted, whatever.

I mispoke, there is a RP recruitment thread on SV, I had forgotten about it. I edited my post to reflect that.

I lucked into this campaign because Arkalest knows I am a big Evangelion fan, and let me join even though the campaign was already severely oversized at seven players. The system is really not setup to handle that many players, but Arkalest is somehow making it work, and we have the best dedication to keeping in character and out of character knowledge separate that I've ever seen in an RP group. Also, this number of serious players is making the inter-character action even more entertaining than usual. We do as much damage to ourselves as the GM does.
Anyhow, the last scene took as long as it did because I had to chisel the trailer out of nothing. The next scene is one I've had in mind for some time so it should go much quicker. So, next update much sooner.

I see. Clever, clever Asuka. You're Kyoko's daughter alright.

And I bet she didn't play it.
As Lilith already said, very Wormhole X-Treme-ey. I like it.

Plenty of genius, not enough sense.
Well, all the brainpower probably went to the giant mechas.
But this is very, very common in anime, and SF in general. Consumer electronics moves so fast that anything you come up with, no matter how advanced or just plain wacky, is going to seem ludicrous in a few years. I remember watching Alien, and being agog at the green-on-black cathode ray tube that's displaying
FTL OK
ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY OK
Or Robocop, with its cyborgs, orbital laser satellites, and non-flatscreen TVs. Or Bubblegum Crisis, where despite it being the 2040s the phones have cords.

Mankind has a great tendency to predict the future... and get it exactly wrong.

That's because SF can't predict the future, nothing can. All it can do is be about the present, or at absolute best about the past. I have to tell people this all the time -- it's just entertainment.

Not necessarily. I remember at one comic-con I attended a University professor put on a panel discussing the effects of Sci-fiction on influencing the directions people take technology. It was kind of a, "What comes first the chicken or the egg?" discussion. What came first, Kirk's communicator or the cell phone?

Not entirely true - HG Wells predicted the Nuclear weapon and tanks, and a couple of sci-fi authors predicted the internet or at least elements of it. Nothing can predict the future with perfect accuracy, and most things with no accuracy - but occasionally you an make educated guesses that end up sorta right.
The pit-fall is thinking that entertainment is INTENTIONALLY predicting the future.

Bloody hell, my alerts thing didn't tell me about this update. At least now I know it's not just Gryphon's story pulling that trick on me.

That would explain why the PbP game he was GMing really went down the drain at that point. Not that I blame him, it was kind of dying anyways, and twenty+ players in a character driven RP was just way too much.
Does it have fuzzy not!Ewoks?
