While he was growing up, his parents joined NERV and helped construct the Fourth Branch. During the construction of Unit-02, Vladimir’s Mother, Lucya, volunteered to be the pilot. At a similar time, NERVs main branch had an accident with the first EVA Activation. Sadly, the warnings didn't reach the Fourth Branch in time. Lucya was absorbed into Unit-02's Core. Vladmir was always told that his mother died in a metro accident. His father didn't take the news well. Almost every night, he got drunk and wondered around town at night, until he committed several felonies. One was beating Vladimir on multiple occasions. Vladimir felt hopeless like he couldn’t do anything. A young party-loving woman adopted Vladimir. At first he was excited, but he ended up spending most of his time in his room. his new guardian could barely afford the tuition fee and spent most nights on the town. When Vladimir asked for something to do, her guardian gave him a game console and television, not caring what she would do with them. Vladimir had started playing video games, most of them involving being a hero. At age nine, Vladimir was approached by the Marduk Institute and was offered a place at NERV. After accepting, he was flown to Tokyo-3 in Japan and was assigned a new guardian, Tomoya Heiwajima. Over the next few years, Vladimir was introduced to Evangelion, trained in it's use and had improved in his own way.

Later it was updated and outfitted for close to mid range combat. Preferred Weaponry: Two Pistols for medium range combat, a glaive for close range combat. Integral Weaponry: Due to it being meant for close combat, Unit 02 has a weapon on its right arm is an extremely long blade, not dissimilar to that of a Progressive Knife, extending from the unit's wrist and folding up to roughly a third of its standard size then sliding up the unit's arm to rest on its upper arm when not in use.

His spiky hair is black, his eyes a dark brown, and his face could be described as handsome; it lacks any scars, save for a small one above his left eye. However, if one looked closely, one could see past his smiling face and see a rigid posture, a tautness of the muscles - distinctive marks of a lifelong soldier. Personality: An enigmatic figure, Tomoya gives off the immediate impression of being someone full of life and energy. He walks confidently, powerfully, and is often seen with a smirk on his face; he appears almost arrogant at times. He possesses great charisma, and frequently spends his nights out partying, even as he begins to age. He is often sarcastic and joking, and genuinely cares about the people he works with. However, in a crisis situation, one sees the other side of Tomoya; a consummate soldier, a systematic commander, with a ruthless streak a mile wide. He is of the sincere opinion that nothing whatsoever takes priority over the survival of the human race, and he will do anything that he deems is necessary in an effort to destroy the Angels. More mysteriously, however, he also appears to have a side-project only known to the top echelons of NERV - and just what this project entails is something he will kill to keep secret. Opinions on the Evangelions: Has a deep-seated respect for them, and while he dislikes the fact that they need to use children as pilots, he knows that they are necessary - and as far as he is concerned, that is all that matters. Relationships With Other Current Characters: History: Born in 1983 in Japan, Tomoya spent much of his early life in an uneventful fashion. At a young age, he displayed a love of technology, weaponry especially, along with an interest in history; his parents cultivated this, his mother being a teacher and his father being a Lieutenant Commander in the JSDF. Immediately out of high school, he enlisted in the JSDF, receiving standard officer's training; he and his unit were on exercise in Singapore when Second Impact occurred. The devastation nearly killed him, and several members of his platoon were killed by various natural disasters due to the energy released by the Impact. During this time, order in Singapore collapsed, and his unit was set upon by a group of armed civilians who had formed a paramilitary group. Releasing their intentions, Tomoya commanded his team to cut them all down, and watched with a mixture of horror and resignation as they obeyed perfectly, out of both fear of what would happen if they disobeyed and a respect for their superior officer. When a war started between the newly-formed South-East Asian Coalition and Japan, Tomoya's unit was still at the epicentre of the fighting, having been unable to secure an evac route. Thusly, they engaged in a guerilla warfare campaign against the Singaporean Government, spending nearly three years behind enemy lines and inflicting extreme damage at the cost of heavy casualties. Ultimately, the United States intervened with the threat of the deployment of newly-developed N2 Mines, and a ceasefire was arranged. When word of the exploits of the mysterious 'ghost company' reached the Japanese Army - renamed and split off from the JSDF - they were greeted as heroes, with Tomoya awarded some of Japan's highest military commendations for bravery in the face of adversity. Shortly after, Tomoya was hired by NERV, and due to his dual degree in experimental physics and theology, as well as his military training, he was put in command of the newly-created 'Evangelion' project, designed to create superweapons to counter the arrival of further Angels. After many years of conclusive failure, he managed to arrange the purchase of the United States' Raven Rock Testing Facility, where he gained access to the only-ever functional EVA unit and all the research notes on it. Using this information, Tomoya began construction of Unit 01, as well as training Vladimir. He volunteered to allow Valentine to live with him, which Vladimir accepted.[/hider]
