EVANGELIONS

  

Now allready in english!!!

Please, forgive me because my english is not as good as I wanted.  If you find something incomprehensible, write me to reisboy@ayanami_mail.zzn.com and I will improve it.  Thanks!

   An Evangelion, or EVA, shorter name, is something like a human robot.  According to the serie it's a "Combat multiuse humanoid robot". An EVA, as it's easy to suppose, is very big and strong.  It's able to generate an AT field (absolute terror, because of its strength), as angels do, so EVAs are the unique effective weapons humandkind has against them.  The EVA doesn't work alone, needs a pilot who drives it, who must be a 14 years old child (why is something unknown).  A common characteristic of all EVA pilots is their lack of mother.  The pilot must "sinchronise" with its EVA, wich goes further of the simply work of driving, because a mental link with the EVA.  This has advantages and disadvantages, one advantage is that the EVA receives orders directly from the pilot's mind, obtaining faster reactions, but with the inconvenient that any damage done to the EVA will be felt by the pilot as his/her own.

    EVA structure is complicated, it's a mix of organic matter, cables and other sofisticated stuff.  Although the organic part could seem a disadvantage, actually it is nt, because the EVA could fix its hurts quickly thanks to that; anyway, not every EVA does it, in fact, only unit 01 has achieved it (in theory, all of them can).  There are several EVA models, the first one was developed by the organization Gehirn, after many failed attemps.  This is unit 00, an Adam copy.  The next EVA, also designed by Gehirn, is a copy made from Lillith itself; the EVA 01 was originally destinated to Ikari Yui, but she disappeared during the activation experiment.  Those two EVAs were made in Japan.  Next to them, began the production model, units 02, 03 and 04; for finishing in the series production model, from unit 05 to 13.

    The EVA pilot is inside an entry plug, inserted into the robot's body.  The entry plug is fullfilled with LCL (link connection liquid), that enhances the sinchronization between the pilot and the EVA and also protects him/her against the shok waves (not a special property, the liquid medium absorbes part of the impacts).  LCL is enriched with oxigen, so the pilot can breath freely, despite of being surrounded by liquid (there would be no grace if the pilot sank just when entering, don't you think?).  The EVA can't work without a pilot, but it is possible to 'deceive' it, in order to make it think there's one inside.  This can be done by using the summy system, that counterfeit Rei's thoughts.  Results are similar, excepting that there are no feelings netween, it means, the EVA does what it's ordered to, no matter about the means needed.  For example, the first time unit 01 was activated with the dummy system, destroyed the angelBardiel, leaving it as a inform and bleeding mass, but it didn't stop to think that inside the angel there was a pilot, 'cause the angel had infected an EVA.

    EVAs' weapons are very diverse, from knives (progressive knives) kept over the shoulders till a positron gun, including axes, spears, pistols, rocket launchers and anything you can imagine; altough great part of the battles against the angels are decided with nude hands, no accesories between.  As the next angel's atack strategy cannot be predicted, and you must be prepared, EVAs can be configured with differents equipments, that make them able to fight in diverse mediums, even in ardent magma (something like a huge swimming suit).  Tokio 3 city is over a laberinth of tunnels, designed to drive the EVAs to the surface as near as possible to the moment angel.  If the angel is further of tunnels, special ships can take the units to the battle place.

   To continue working, the EVAs needs a constant electric source, that comes from umbilical cables connected to its back.  If the cable is ever cut (what happens frecuently) they have one minute working at full strength, or 5 in energy-saving mode.  If needed, they also count with batteries, anchored to their back.

   It seems that all EVAs have a woman's soul inside, what may explain the fact that all pilots are orphans.  The EVA requires the soul to work, a human will, wich pilots must sinchronise with.

 

The EVAs

EVA 00

   It's the first unit, desinged by Gehirn in Japan, the prototype model. The original one was orange, but after the color was changed to blue (after the battle against the fifth angel, when it was very damaged).  Its pilot is Ayanami Rei.  Inside of it it seems to be the soul of Akagi Naoko, Ritsuko's mother.  For some reason, it does not accept any other pilot, becoming crazy when other pilot tries to sinchronise.  It seems to be a psicological problem of the EVA itself.  This EVA is used to be used as a support unit instead of atack one.  It was destroid during the battle with Armisael by its pilot, to prevent unit 01 infection by the angel.

Pilot: Ayanami Rei

Model: Prototype

Eyes configuration: 1

Color: original Yellow and orange. now Blue and white

 

 

EVA 01

    This unit is a copy of Lillith, so its wanted by SEELE to use it as medium in the third impact; inside it is the soul of Ikari Yui, so it's extremely important to Gendou, who aparts it from danger as much as possible, but without that afects the battle against the angels (in fact, it's always the first one sent to figth).  It's the most ferocious EVA, because uses to go mad and attack wildly its enemies (this state is denominated "berserk", not an exclusive word of the serie), it even ate Zeruel, the forteenth angel, to asimilate S2 organ, wich would permit combat without an extern energy source.  It's the most "autonomous" unit, it moves even when unplugged if it comes to protect Shinji.  Besides, it's the one that shows more human will, as seen in chapter 19, when refuses activation with Rei or the dummy system, because Shinji didn't wish to figth anymore-  Originaly it was designed to be driven by Yui, but she was absorbed inside of it during the activation experiment. Yui was not only absorbed, but decided to stay inside the EVA, as a form to live a long time and to protect her child and world.

Pilot: Ikari Shinji

Model: Test type

Eyes configuration: 2

Color: Purple and green

 

EVA 02

   Assembled in Germany, with parts brougth from Japan.  All tests were carried out in Germany too.  Y arrived togheter with the angel Gaghiel, who venced during the travel by the sea.  It's the production model, so has more autonomy and easier sinchronization.  Inside of it hides the soul of Kyoko Souryu Zeppelin, Asuka's mother, although she doesn't show till the Evangelion movies, when achieves that the pilot recover sinchronization.  During a short time it was assigned to the fifth child, Nagisa Kaworu, who resulted to be the last angel.

Pilot: Souryu Asuka Langley

Model: Production

Eyes configuration: 4

Color: Red and yellow

 

EVA 03

    This EVA's existence was not so long, because during the travel from the United States, where was buit, to Japan, it was infected by the angel Bardiel.  It was tare to pieces by unit 01, driven by the dummy system.  Its pilot was seriously hurt, losing an arm and a leg.  It's similar to EVA 02, because of being a production model too.

Pilot: Suzuhara Touji

Model: Production

Eyes configuration: 2

Color: Black

 

EVA 04

   This EVA doesn't appear in the whole serie, because was vanished togheter with the second branch of NERV in Nevada, during the test of the S2 organ.  This EVA should operate without an external energy source, because of that organ, besides of working automatically, only with the dummy plug.

Pilot: dummy

Model: Production

Eyes configuration: 2

Color: Black and white

 

EVA 05-13

   This is the EVA series, the highest point of Evangelion development technology.  They work automatically, with an S2 engine and dummy plug.  They have fold over-wings so they can fly.  They're equiped with a Longinus spear replica, that is able to penetrate AT fields.  All these EVAs look the same, they've got no eyes (or cannot be seen) and smile cruely.  Despite of receiving great damage they stay operational.  These units are "programmed" to begin the third impact, using unit 01 as meduim.  They were built in the most powerfull countries of Europe and Asia (not in Japan, anyway).

Pilot: dummy

Model: Series

Eyes configuration: Unknown

Color: White
