Biography
Story Log #1 : Shinji is one of the few survivors left on earth since the outburst of humanity’s scourge, the monstrous life forms called Aragami, the Raging Gods. His family, friends and everyone he knew and cared for are killed. Shinji was left wandering the wilderness for days, helpless. He can’t recall how many times he wished they took him as well... Until he met them. The God Eaters, mankind’s vanguard in its struggle for survival. And for the first time in many years he feel this uplifting feeling: Hope.

Story Log #2 : Shinji can hardly describe how he feel. As much as his body burns with exhaustion, his spirit is lifted. He arrived at Fenrir Far East Branch to take the Aptitude Test required to become a God Eater. The biotech firm seemed to believe in his possible genetic match with one of their God Arcs, the only weapons effective against Aragami known to man. The process is painful but the prospect of fighting for a better future makes it easy to endure. Shinji is now wearing the Armlet with which he'll be able to control his God Arc as a protector of mankind.

Story Log #3 : Shinji met another rookie, Kota Fujiki. Kota doesn't seem too concerned about the seriousness of their purpose as God Eaters. Shinji admitted, Kota's casual manners are a welcome addition to the military style discipline applied around the Far East Branch. Then, he met with Tsubaki Amamiya, the new recruit's adviser. He wouldn't want to be on her black list... Tsubaki is very strict she's almost scary. Shinji better not be late to his medical checkup...

Story Log #4 : Shinji had a medical checkup with Dr. Paylor Sakaki, Head of Aragami Technology R & D. Dr. Sakaki told Shinji he's one of the rare people matching with the recently developped New-Type God Arc: a weapon capable of transforming into Melee and Ranged form. Dr. Sakaki is quite eccentric but Shinji bet he knows Aragami better than most. Fenrir Far East's Director Johannes von Schicksal was also present, Shinji heard he too was a renowned scientist in his days. Director Schicksal gave mim more insight on Fenrir's ultimate goal, the Aegis Project: the construction of a utopia impregnable to Aragami attacks, located far out to sea with the capacity of hosting all of humanity. Shinji supposed to attend the Basic Physical and Combat Training next but he's dying to check out the Weaponry and Armor Clinic, what should he do?

Story Log #5 : Training will have to wait, Shinji couldn't resist visiting the Weaponry and Armor Clinic and he can't wait to try out all the different forms his God Arc can take. Shinji paid a visit to the Weaponry and Armor Clinic where he met the amazing Licca Kusunoki, and in her uplifting presence and the perfect knowledge of her trade Shinji learned a lot about God Arcs. There are six different Melee forms: Short Blade, Long Blade, Buster Blade, Charge Spear, Boost Hammer and Variant Scythe. As well as four different Ranged forms: Assault Gun, Sniper Gun, Blast Gun and Shotgun. Since Shinji is a New-Type God Arc user, he can swap between both Melee and Ranged form at will and adapt to any combat situation.

Story Log #6 : Shinji had the occasion to use his God Arc. Fenrir has an impressively realistic combat simulator. So much so that Shinji found himself fearing for his life once or twice when the target dummies had the upper hand. Under Tsubaki's supervision, Shinji got to practice his physical skills and technique with the God Arc. The watchword seems to be "safety first", she insisted him master evasion and manage to block attacks with his God Arc's Shield form. It was learning how to hack and slash the Aragami looking dummies he enjoyed the most. He can't wait to put what he learned to good use!
