Shinji Ikari, a slight, younger high school boy, is standing at a phone booth, calling the woman who is supposed to pick him up, Misato Katsuragi.
She shows up in a blue sports car. She is a late-20s approachably-effortful woman who is also an officer with NERV. She is driving Shinji to their base in Tokyo-2.
Sea levels have risen and much of the old world is underwater. NERV HQ is in an underground “geofront” cave under Tokyo-2
Shinji’s father, Gendo Ikari, is the operational leader of NERV, he has a sideburned chinstrap beard and tinted glasses.
NERV exists to fight attacking “Angels”, which come from what caused the sea-level devastation in the first place, “First Impact”
