World Info

NERV is a paramilitary organization tasked with creating and operating the Evangelions to combat the Angels. NERV's main headquarters is located in Tokyo-3, a city specifically designed to combat the Angels. The HQ is underground, in a massive, fortified complex called the Geofront.

NERV is led by Gendo Ikari. He has his own secretive agenda, which revolves around the mysterious Human Instrumentality Project—a plan that is shrouded in mystery, unknown to most.

An Evangelion is a giant, living artificial human of immense power. They are present in nearly every single angel fight, although their functionality can vary greatly depending on their opponent. Evangelion are living organic creatures with cybernetic components grafted onto them. All the biological parts of the units are covered from head to toe in restraining metal plates that hide their organic form and because they have pilots who sit in the cockpit called an Entry Plug. Like the original Adam, an Eva has essentially the same physical form as a normal human, albeit with exaggerated torso/waist proportions and varying head forms. The limbs are identical to human limbs in structure, down to the point of the finger. All Evangelions have red blood, which sprays out of wounds in spectacular fashion. Evangelions have regenerative capabilities. It is directly stated that they are capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed organs. They have demonstrated extremely fast, controlled regeneration, including the ability to convert foreign biomass to its own. Likewise, Evangelions can lose their limbs or even their head and have them reattached later. Despite being extremely massive, the Evangelion are extremely capable of acrobatic feats like drop-kicks and enormous spinning leaps into the air. The units extreme agility and speed allow for a great amount of movement in combat allowing the units to effectively use melee weapons and close range arms.

As the Evangelion were designed with combat in mind, they have a wide variety of conventional and non-conventional combat options and capabilities. For built in systems, each unit is equipped with a computerized targeting system, radar and sonar. These systems exist to support the pilot and enable them to use weaponry effectively in combat. The most common weapons used by the Evangelion are the Pallet Rifle, an Evangelion sized assault rifle, and the Progressive Knife, a small vibrating knife capable of cutting through angels. The Evangelion armory isn't limited to these two weapons, however, and the weapons used by the units almost always varies from fight to fight. As previously mentioned, each units can also generate an A.T. Field. While it is often used defensively, its most common usage is offensively to erode the A.T. Fields of Angels by canceling their wavelength.

Daemon EVA units, or as factory ID goes, D.A.E (Demonic. Automated. Evangelion) are EVA's designed to be piloted by two pilots, an uploaded consciousness and a real pilot this can cause a massive strain on a pilots mind, even causing brain damage or leading even the strongest of willed pilots to suicide. The DAE units are heavily customized to suit each pilot, meaning no true concrete design is present. Daemon's are immensely powerful killing machines, capable of fighting without a pilot and with a pilot. Daemon's are around 4 times stronger than any normal EVA units, however the tech within them poses just as much of threat to the pilot and their allies as it poses to the opposition, making it insanely risky to use. Daemons have a primary frame and a subframe, the primary contains the entry plugs, weapons, and ammunition. The subframe contains the internal cores, backup mind's and angelic mesh, allowing the Daemon to use a twisted version of angelic power. The primary frame also includes a auto forge, allowing the DAE to restock its ammo in combat and most importantly, repair it's armor perpetually, turning attrition battles trival. Subframe is the flesh and blood, this time, of true, angelic flesh. The subframe has a variety of emitters to create a narrow set of demonic abilities. One of these emitters, is an AT field emitter, however, the AT field of a Daemon is small, only covering it's body, rendering the AT field worthless for assisting allies. Though due to the compressed nature, the AT-Shield is much more durable. This combines to create a monster of a machine. Piloting a DAEMON is seen as a death sentence as for the power it has comes at the cost of your soul, a deal with the devil...

The world is filled by a plethora of abnormal entities called "Angels" or 'Adam's Children" Angels are a variant form of humanity that originate from Adam, as opposed to humans, the Lilin, who originate from Lilith. Despite being segregated into separate "Angels" (Third, Fourth, etc.), Adam's children essentially comprise a single race of humanity – one possible variation upon a theme. Accordingly, Angels and Humans share a 99.98% genetic match. They are described as "humans who cast aside human form". Angels appear to begin life as humanoid entities, developing embryologically in perhaps the same way as Adam or an Evangelion would. Going by Sandalphon, the Angels develop inside oblong objects resembling eggs, compared in the show to a chrysalis. After developing to an indeterminate point,[9] the Angel's human form is "rejected". Immediately prior to hatching, the Angel undergoes a spontaneous metamorphosis into its "adult form", then emerges from its "chrysalis" Almost universally, Angels seek to penetrate Tokyo-3 to access Terminal Dogma, which contains Lilith. One explanation of their motivations, found in the Classified Information states, "Some of them were trying to access Lilith and reset all life, some of them had nothing in mind, and some were trying to recover their progenitor Adam." Adam's children are generally uncommunicative, and the forms they take tend to be inexpressive, with the result that we have little insight into their thoughts.

However, there is also a variant of Angel called "Hellborne Angels" these angels occur naturally, mostly leeching off the negative emotion and energy of humanity, forming into fully sapient beings capable of higher thought. These Hellborne angels contrast from the normal angels. Instead of having a unified goal, they stand alone, each hellborne has their own ambitions, some better than others

Saurel is the 25th angel, created most recently by the second impact, the bloodshed forming into Saurel, an angel of Death.

Saurel is immensely powerful, relying on raw power to win engagements. It's weapons are Sub Angels, formed from the populations that Saurel personally cleansed. Unlike most of its Hellborne Angel brethren, Saurel shares the goal of the mainline angels, a mass cleansing of all humanity through a third impact. Though unlike the rest of the angels, Saurel wishes to channel the genocide into itself, this act of apotheosis would turn it into more of a true god than a simple "Angel" Afterward, it would slaughter the rest of the angels, and eventually, cleansing reality of all mortal kind. This is, the worst possible outcome of all angel victory scenarios. NERV tracks Saurel intensely, thwarting its genocides whenever possible for threat containment.

Saurel can now sacrifice it's own blood to transmute the LCL in a Eva and effectively control it, killing the pilot instantly. This turns the Eva and the pilot, into a Apostle of Saurel. Saurel is able to control the pilots body, their voice too, making it seem like the pilot is fine, until they turn on their allies. In the event of the possessed pilot being nearly killed, they plead for their life, Saurel activating the victims neurons controlling fear in the brain to force them to feel uncontrolled, unkempt fear. Making the pleading even more authentic.

Saurel's Bloodbath Requiem. Saurel uses stored blood from it's victims, extracting their genes, targeting the angelic ones left from Lilin and using them to create a artifical Requiem, white spectral wings appear during this time, the look akin the the wings of Adam. The redder the wings get the more blood collected. At it's peak, Saurel can create an localized impact, killing everything nearby, forging Saurel a new weapon, evolving it's body and healing all damage.
