The pilot of Evangelion Unit 03- which is blue-, Akagi Tsubaki is in the awkward position of being a semi-celebrity in her city, despite having no desire for celebrity or, indeed, the willingness or capacity to actually handle such a calling. Tsubaki rarely goes out of her way to talk to anyone, especially people she doesn't know.
To other people, Tsubaki often seems aloof. She comes off as languid and sleepy, permanently in need of a very deep, deep sleep. She rarely pays attention to her surroundings unless she's specifically told to or realises she has to- and conversations with her are victims of an incredibly wandering mind that freely spouts its random observations. All of this combines to make her feel, to the common person, more than a little unapproachable.
That said, Tsubaki, despite her sedative air, isn't emotionless; on the contrary, she is prone to heavy emotion and sudden mood shifts outside of her torpor. More than a few people have been surprised as one of their offhand comments provokes a gush of tears, or a careless gift suddenly sees them enveloped in grand affection. Such periods are very rare, however; that languid wall is hard to shatter.

If at least two pilots succeed (including yourself), Group Synchronization occurs. Any pilot who fails is not included in the Synchonization and must make a WP test or take 1d5 Ego damage. If you fail, then the entire group fails. In Group Synchronization, all Evas in the Sync lose their AT Fields, and you gain an AT Field with strength equal to your ATS, plus the highest ATS out of the rest of the Evas, then finally half of the ATS of every other member.
