Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

The whole pre-Impact past of Gendo Ikari (né Rokubungi) had been erased aside from the dry biographical facts: birth date, high schools attended (seven, two of which he had been expelled from for fighting), certification of a doctorate at Kyoto University, etc. The few records not lost during the chaotic aftermath of the Second Impact were purged during the rampant paranoia of GEHIRN's early years.

GEHIRN had been meticulous in its efforts. For example, the only pre-Impact photograph the Japanese Defense Agency had ever found of Gendo Rokubungi had been a junior high Kendo Club group photo, and even then the JDA had only found a copy of that yearbook because an agent had randomly happened upon it in a garage sale in 2013. All other copies of that and any other yearbook featuring the (formerly) bearded menace had been removed from circulation, public and private. No one in the intelligence business had any such luck with Yui Ikari. The Commander's late wife was a complete blank. Nobody even knew what she looked like.

That was, in the lingo of his profession, scary shit.
