Asuka Langley Soryu
AGE: 14
HEIGHT/STATURE: 5'0"ish
WEIGHT/BUILD: Probably not over 100 lbs soaking wet.
GENDER: Female
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single as fuck and likely to remain that way.
HAIR: Red
EYES: Blue
ORIGIN: Germany, Earth
LANGUAGE: German, English, Japanese
VISION
Asuka's most visually striking aspect is her hair - it's long , full, and very red and she tends to wear it down. It reaches past her waist, usually, although these days she's taken to tying tit back a little to avoid getting it into her eyes. She's missing one eye and wears an eyepatch to cover the missing left one. She generally doesn't let people see her without the eyepatch. She's slender and athletic and even when she's sitting still, there's a sense of energy about her. Her gaze tends to be piercing and, especially now, angry. There's always a sense of anger in her gaze, even when she's ostensibly having a good time.

Even with all of the trauma that she's been dealing with in her recent past, Asuka still tries to fill up the space she's in when she's out in public. She use large gestures, has a wide stance, and does everything a little bit bigger because she wants to assert herself. Despite that, there's a sort of deliberate carelessness as well, but that tends to come up when she's deliberately trying to prove that she doesn't care. About anything.

When she's upset, she tends to shrink. She draws back into herself, draws her limbs back and clings to herself for support. The large gestures vanish and instead it becomes sharp and short and her gestures and limbs only really leave the close orbit of her body to lash out and try to hurt something.

Her clothing choice is loud, even on their mission. She's chosen a mix of reds and warm, earth tones, mostly to keep herself a little unique and to get herself to stand apart from the rest of the crew (even if they are all hideously individualistic, anyway).

She carries no weapons (usually) and doesn't have tattoos. There's some scarring on her left arm, but she doesn't really pay attention to it. She hasn't bothered with makeup, either.

SOUND
Asuka speaks casually to almost everyone, regardless of where they are in the chain of command. She doesn't generally use "ma'am" or "sir" except when she's getting a huge chewing out for something and she realizes she's done goofed. In fact, most of the time she's horrifically familiar, probably to the point of being insulting. She also uses little nicknames for people, with or without their permission. Arrogance and disdain tend to carry in her voice, especially when she doesn't like someone.

There's definitely a difference between when she's angry, sad, or happy. Even if she's trying to hide her emotions, her tone tends to change - getting sharper when she's angry, a bit more broken when she's dealing with tragedy. Her voice can be an excellent gauge of her emotional state.

Her accent is more German than anything else.

SCENT
Mostly just cleanish. She uses scented soap, when she can get it, and prefers something a bit floral.

MIND
Asuka's mind is red. The color red is a dominant theme and with it comes the sort of thing you'd expect. There's a sense of pervading anger and upset underneath everything, even when she's happy, and the faint scent or taste of blood. The idea or sensation of death tends to linger.

Everything is sharp and jagged and designed to prick and hurt and jab. Shattered glass or twisted, broken beams of steel. The walls she throws up are more like densely packed thorns, with vicious spikes.

That aside, her mind is a chaotic, high energy place. She thinks very quickly and learns on the fly. She's able to process a lot of incoming information and it shows in how quickly her mind seems to dart from place to place and topic to topic.

There's also the presence of a doll motif from time to time; it's apparently something she hates, because it tends to come up only in negative connotations.

MISC.
Not yet.
