Line 32:
* [[Eye Scream]] - A variation of this can happen if an Eva takes critical damage to its head; the pilot will feel the damage too, which can cause anything from disrupted focus due to intense pain, to going slowly insane from the feeling of your head melting.
* [[Flawed Prototype]] - Evangelion with the "Patchwork" Drawback, described as being made from recycled pieces, dummy bodies, and duct tape.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] - The positron rifles came back. And they have three upgrades. One that has a multi shot fuse. One that is a one-shot and is larger. Then there is the [[BFG|Great Positron Cannon]]. It is able to one-shot angel if you get lucky. Problem is you can only mount it on a heavy chassis. So you become a [[Mighty Glacier]].
** Actually, the description of the Great Positron Cannon, alongside the stats, imply that that is the positron rifle used against the fifth and fifteenth Angels in the show. The range and extremely unwieldy nature of it back this up.
* [[Gainax Ending]] - Not one, but NINE of them are detailed (including the one from [[End of Evangelion]]), each one as apocalyptic as the next.
Line 51:
* [[Power Gives You Wings]] - One of the uses of an S2 Organ in V2.0 is a set of six insectile wings that allow you to fly.
* [[Properly Paranoid]] - The "Paranoid" asset. Yes, asset. Not drawback.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The A.T. Fields are termed "Absolute Territory" fields in the handbook, as opposed to the opening of the show which hints they should be called "Absolute Terror" fields. The justification the book gives is that Angels use the A.T. field to define what space they can influence the laws of physics in, while humans use a much weaker A.T. field to define the body they house their soul in.
** [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Co-incidently]], [[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]] (which the game took some inspiration from) also refers to it as this.
* [[Splat]] - Background and Career. Each background is based on one of the main characters; as well as all but one career
** '''Neo-Spartan''': [[Tyke Bomb|Neo-Spartans have been trained in combat and piloting since a very young age]], taking the time to learn to use a large number of weapons. They are defined by their roles as warriors and pilots. [[Blood Knight|There is nothing else for them]].
*** '''Skirmisher''' Pilots trained to fight with virtually any conventional weapon, ranging from [[Guns Akimbo|Pistols]] to [[Sniper Rifle]] to [[Gatling Good|heavy]] [[Wave Motion Gun|weapons]], all the way to [[BFS|melee]] [[Dual -Wielding|weapons]] but with limited AT Powers.
** '''Prodigy''': Prodigies are pilots that have [[Naive Newcomer|only recently]] [[Falling Into the Cockpit|been tapped]]. They lack the extensive training of most other pilots, but [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|maintain a synch ratio well above normal]].
*** '''Berserker''': Pilots with limited direct combat ability, and few AT Powers, but never [[Too Dumb to Live|knock them out]]; they don't [[The Berserker|deal]] [[Unstoppable Rage|well with stress.]]
** '''Manufactured''': [[Artificial Human|A genetic experiment specifically designed to pilot an Evangelion]]. While often suffering from [[The Stoic|various]] [[Uncanny Valley|disorders]], they can synchronize and pilot effectively while being [[Death Is Cheap|easily]] [[Cloning Blues|replaced]].
*** '''Pointman''': Pilots who focus on [[Goddamned Bats|disruption]] and [[Stone Wall|forcing their enemy to fight them,]] better at defending others than themselves. Their AT Powers [[Barrier Warrior|tend to be defensive.]] They also posses a [[Limit Break|surprising]] late game [[Death or Glory Attack|trick]] that can (potentally)[[One -Hit Kill|lay out enemies instantly]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|at a cost.]]
** '''Impact Survivor''': They remember Second Impact and have seen the world at its worst and survived. [[Badass Normal|The resourcefulness and luck]] that got them through then is still on their side now.
*** '''Operations Director''': Not a pilot, but the support class, in control of the [[Redshirt Army|tanks]] and [[Airborne Mook|VTOLs]] and [[Redshirt Army|Turrets]] during a battle. However, their key abilities are about giving crucial advise, [[Attack Its Weak Point|targeting]] [[For Massive Damage|data]], and [[Combination Attack|coordination]].
