Takeshi Odori

"Impossible? Wait right here, I'll go make it possible."

Background Information
Takeshi was born a denizen on an already existing earth colony to two parents that gave him the freedom to pursue just about anything he wanted. From parties, to schools to choice of subjects, he was allowed his personal choice on each and they never interfered with his choices. His father was a soldier in the Earth Federation Army, his mother a scientist at a top secret research facility that he knew little about, except that it was somehow related to NERV. To make up for the lack of parental company, he had many parties and made many friends. He still does this to this day. Additionally, from the first time he touched engineering he was hooked. It only took one science lesson and one lab to convince him of this and it was without further ado that once graduated he went to a respectable college for Mecha engineering. While engineering was his major, he also pursued maintenance as well. From his first class actually touching a machine, it seemed as though he could feel the machine and the machine could feel him. He became exceptionally skilled at pinpointing the source of various problems and even more adept at understanding those problems and using that understanding to engineer a fix. During his second year, there was call for a mechanized operations course and it was created. Out of pure curiosity, he signed up. However, he lacked a machine and the school was missing one. It was then, out of the blue, that he was first introduce to Tsubasa, the machine that he would become intimately attached to. A gift from his mother, it simply 'showed up.' With little to no explanation and a 1000 page manual in the seat. Thus did Takeshi become a Mecha owner. Later on, after graduating, he took on many odd jobs and built his own design in the background. After four long years he completed the Katana XT2, his own personal design. He tried to get it mass produced, but people said it was too advanced to go mainstream. So he kept it. Shortly after that he joined the EFA for somewhat unknown reasons.
