[[It Got Worse]].
 
It is now 2091. Space is controlled by the [[Starfish Aliens|Migou]], who are trying to [[Bug War|stomp]] mankind back into the Stone Age without waking up anything else that lives on Earth. The [[Half-Human Hybrid|Esoteric Order]] of [[Fish People|Dagon]] are trying to wake Cthulhu. A large percentage of Asia has become weirdly merged with Leng, where the Dead God, Hastur, resides, and there is a [[Black and Grey Morality|subtle war]] going between two sides of [[Humanoid Abomination|Humanoid Abominations]]s and one side of [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]]s inside the territory controlled by the [[One World Order|New Earth Government]].
 
But, don't worry! [[Manipulative Bastard|Gendo Ikari]], a senior figure in the Ashcroft Foundation (the world's largest [[Mega Corp]]) will save us from the monstrous, god-like threats called Harbingers (named after [[Mythology Gag|Canaanite deities]]) which are attacking on top of all of this. Apparently, he has some kind of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|secret weapon.]]

{{tropelist}}
=== See ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'', ''[[F.E.A.R.]]'', ''[[Alastair Reynolds|Revelation Space]]'' and ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' for other tropes which might appear.===
* [[Abandoned Playground]]: There is a small patch of grass, with a swing hanging from the tree in the middle of it, in the middle of the abandoned arcology dome that Rei lives in. Notably, Shinji is [[Genre Savvy]] enough that he finds it creepy. Note that {{spoiler|it looks almost exactly the same as Alma's [[Happy Place]] in ''Project Origin'' at Still Island.}} That can't be a coincidence....
* [[Accidental Hero]]: Toja became one when he tried to find a missing [[Ill Girl]] during an evacuation of her school. A whole class of 10-year old girls ended up idolizing him for that.
Line 56:
* [[Artificial Gill]]: A variation with the "Eva EVA equipment", designed to keep the LCL in the body when exiting the entry plug in order to avoid complications of the sudden switching between breathing LCL and normal air when the normal supervised procedure is impossible.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The Harbingers are well in excess of 50 feet, both Imperial and American Customary, in scale.
* [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant]]: One of the main reasons of the Migou invasion is to prevent the awakening of the [[Omnicidal Neutral]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s due to humanity playing with things it should not, while trying to avoid doing this themselves with excessive firepower.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]:
** Tank crews view mecha as this in-universe. They show their opinion by making sarcastic comments about stable firing platforms, optimized weight distributions, and low target profiles.
Line 68:
** The pallet rifle, so useless in canon ''Evangelion'', has been replaced by the Babylon, a hypervelocity, 155mm coilgun which is [[Gun Porn|lovingly introduced over several paragraphs]].
* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]: The real Migous, which are briefly mentioned to be a part of the Rapine Storm, are Yeti-like. The bugs in space are not actually Migou, but the name stuck.
* [[Bio Augmentation]]: Genefixing your unborn children to remove diseases and make them smarter or tougher was entering common use before the First Arcanotech War; it was heavily restricted after the end of the war (the fake [[Rubber Forehead Alien|Rubber Forehead Aliens]]s didn't like it, on account of being created that way), and there are currently in-universe debates over relaxing the restrictions. Asuka inherited a heavy amount of augmentations from her mother, which is one of the reasons that she finds things so easy.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Quite apart from the puns or references often involved in the names of Ashcroft Groups and Projects, there is untranslated German poetry and Hindu scripture scattered throughout the story.
* [[Black Comedy]]: The story has elements of this, mostly as a result of a [[Lemony Narrator]].
Line 94:
* [[Chest Blaster]]: An improvised one, {{spoiler|with the magically enhanced nuclear warhead placed inside a hole made by Mot in Unit-01's chest, just meters away from the Entry Plug. Spatial-distortion magic is used to ensure that the blast travels in a straight line as opposed to the [[The Deadliest Mushroom|normal behaviour of nuclear detonations]].}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Misato checking on a space-based project in chapter 4. In chapter 12, a nuke from that project was used to kill Mot.}}
* [[Child Soldiers]]: This is [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]]d and deconstructed, as might be expected. Project Evangelion is called on it by the Ashcroft Representative of Research, while the Representative of [[Hypocritical Humor|Ethics]] brushes over it. Shinji isn't too happy about it either, nor are Misato and Ritsuko. Neither is Asuka, but for entirely different reasons.
* [[Chunky Salsa Rule]]: The Babylon Hypervelocity Rifle simply shreds the lesser Eshmun spawns.
* [[The City Narrows]]: The Old London underground. The logistical and security nightmare that is a post-Harbinger battle cleanup certainly helps for those who wish to remain hidden.
Line 178:
* [[Forensic Drama]]: Has elements of this, usually when the side-characters get the limelight, such as the forensic OIS team.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: All the time. At some points, it seems that dropping plot hints is something the author is actually addicted to.
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: The visual autocensors reduce [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s to a form that can be understood. Mostly. For a while. Then you go mad.
* [[Flanderization]]: In-universe, Theresa Ashcroft is treated as the sole inventor of arcanotechnology, while she was actually just the first to combine the various inaccuracies in the Standard Model and Quantum Mechanics into a single scientific field.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: It's a rewrite of an [[Elseworlds]] [[Fusion Fic]] following the canon storyline of a TV series set in a Mythos universe. The ''exact'' details are unknown, but details have a nasty tendency to drive people mad.
Line 342:
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Description of more mundane (and sometimes not so mundane) objects tend to be like this, using [[Buffy-Speak]] most of the time.
* [[Shield-Bash]]: {{spoiler|Rei stabbing Mot with the melted piece of spaceship hull.}}
* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Standard NEG Military policy is to ignore [[Human Shield|Human Shields]]s.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The author is a physics student, and it shows.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Aeon Entelechy Evangelion/Shout Out|All the time]].
Line 352:
** The Children of Chaos (Nyarlathotep) and Death Shadows (Hastur) cults. Their goal is to subvert the humanity from the inside, and even with the NEG's infamously strong security, these guys keep finding holes in it.
** The Migou are the main enemies of humanity. They have enough firepower to easily defeat NEG and bomb humanity to the stone age. The reason they haven't done that already is that they are afraid of waking up something worse in the process.
** Various [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s, both active and sleeping.
* [[Soapbox Sadie]]: Sad to say, quite a few members of the class seem to consider Hikary one of these.
* [[Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb]]:
Line 367:
* [[Sufficiently Analyzed Magic]]: With magic being just a very special form of physics (one that drives people insane), the scientific method is naturally applicable and consequently applied. Scientists just have a tendency to die, a lot, from handing [[Things Man Was Not Meant to Know|phenomena men (and women) don't quite know the real danger of]] (just like radiation science in its infancy, only with more insanity and less people being run over by horses).
* [[Summoning Ritual]]: One asylum prisoner tried to make a summoning circle under the influence of Mot before being restrained. One of the Military suggested that Mot is a result of Migou's botched summoning.
* [[Super Prototype]]: The Evangelions to Engels, in the sense that the Cray supercomputer was a prototype for a gaming desktop. From a strategic standpoint against conventional enemies like the Migou, the Eva aren't worth very much either, as the Engels can be mass-produced and don't require [[Child Soldier|Child Soldiers]]s as pilots. From a tactical standpoint, on the other hand, an Evangelion will tear a formation of Nazzadi Loyalists a new one. On the other hand, from a strategic standpoint against enemies like the Harbingers, the Evas are indispensable.
* [[Supernatural Sensitivity]]
* [[Super Soldier]]: The Replicas, Combat Blanks and the Loyalist Elites.
