Shinji is a rather normal person himself.
And when all is said and done, and Yayoi's gone home to Stellvia and Rei is back on Greenwood and the story's over, he's still going to be alive, and still have to figure out what to do with that life beyond 'live'. A session musician might be useful anywhere, as would a cook. He's still going to have nightmares on the nights he decides to sleep. He's still going to want to do what's expected of him to make people praise him, and he's going to be searching for a way to fulfill that or find someone that will impose expectations on him that he can fulfill.
He leaves Frigga at square two of his emotional development. He's accepted what he is, and that he's from a TV show and that he can do some cool things. There's still a lot of work and therapy to go. He's still going to have trouble not seeing Room 303 of the Cranial Nerve when he talks to Gina.
Shinji's naturally a decent person.... as opposed to a superhero, he's more a decent sort of hero. He's in a fight not out of a sense of justice, or right or wrong (or because it's a job), but because he just can't bear the idea of people being hurt when he could've done something to stop it. Even worse if it's someone he cares about.
And just testing some water.... Lou, Sylvie, Anri, Nam, Meg..... thoughts? Very few fen capable of building androids seem stop at one.... at least among named Fen. (By God! Now I know what it feels like to be God,) And because they're the first group of five that comes mind.
