Nobody Dies/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

Following the battle with the Cherubim Raziel and the damage he took while in the plug, Shinji emerged from the 400% synchronization with a fresh infusion of Lilithian genetic material. As of chapter 66, Shinji is now a Nephilim.

* [[Always Someone Better]] - To Uriel, ''and '''how'''''.

* [[Badass]] - When you can convince your Evangelion to fight against the [[Eldritch Abomination|arch-enemy]] of its progenitor by promising to be '''''its''''' protector, you've earned this title.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - He's pretty even-keeled. Should you change this, bad things will befall you. Ch. 67 reveals the reason for this: the first time he synched with Unit 01, the "anger" part of his psyche was absorbed into the Eva.

* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - For Ichi.

 

The daughter of Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu and (by donation he didn't know about at the time) Pieter Sohryu, Asuka was raised for sixteen years under Kyoko's wing. As a result, she stutters, her self esteem is in the gutter, and somewhere along the line she developed a multiple personality disorder. Almost thoroughly broken by her mother's neglect when she is introduced, she manages to find not only something to be proud of in her tech skills as Yui's assistant, but also someone who actually makes her ''happy'' to be herself in the form of Shinji.

* [[Berserk Button]] - Do NOT f__k with Zwei.

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor]] - After a few beers, she starts talking like Rei.

** "The Great Asuka Langley Sohryu"—First shows up during the Exalted 40K session; confident (almost arrogant), a little on the mouthy side, very close to canon!Asuka.

** Ironically, while it's normally a sign of her deep mental problems, this actually saves her from Sandalphon's mind control; she doesn't recognize its voice in her head and dismisses it. In ch. 38, her various splits take on lives of their own in Iruel's cyber-landscape to team up on Iruel. She also now bounces back and forth between singular and plural when referring to herself, especially when she's really stressed.

* [[Teen Genius]] - Like canon!Asuka, she has a bachelor's degree in evolutionary biology. Unlike canon!Asuka, she's very helpful to NERV staff due to her expertise, including becoming Yui's assistant.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]

 

NERV's mascot, <s>mildly</s> superhuman and with enough enthusiasm to power the ''Positron Cannon'', Rei has a tendency of traveling via air duct and appearing where least expected...or wanted. In stark contrast to her canon counterpart, Rei exists on the other end of the [[Uncanny Valley]], to the point where she has been nicknamed "Terrifying!Rei". Still, her friendly demeanor and exuberance almost makes one feel comfortable around her...until you open her closet door.

* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]] - She's only sixteen, and yet already has four children, dubbed the Reego, by ''Unit 05''. Of course, they're actually AIs created by Iruel's [[Lotus Eater Machine]] and absolutely no pregnancy was involved whatsoever.

** The children are currently depopulating Australia.

* [[Moment Killer]] - Inverted. Rei has never killed anything other than a few Angels, ''especially'' any moods. The ''author'' on the other hand, [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4684476&postcount=3483 has interrupted her Sexy Time with her Eva.]

* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: Mentioned in Chapter 5 that her smile is notable for "showing more teeth than a human mouth should be able to hold."

** And while she's changed over the course of the series she started out as a complete Stand-In.

* [[Shapeshifter Default Form]] '''Type B''' - It's been [[Word of God|outright confirmed]] (but only strongly implied in the text of the story) that Rei can transform into various different forms apart from her human form. Two have appeared so far: one called the Angel Slayer, which appears in Chapter 3, and the other, the 42-eyed Beast of Eyes, which appears in Chapter 13). However, her true form is ''not'' her human form, has not been seen as of yet, and has [[Word of God|been described by Gregg]] as being both "a spoiler and a worst case scenario". How so is still to be elaborated on.

 

Mana is, in this depiction, a far cry from the [[Third Option Love Interest]] [[Relationship Sue]] of old; now, she's a tough, courageous, potty-mouthed [[Child Soldier]] and NHIS employee/product who pilots the Jet Alone Prime as part of a liaison with NERV.

* [[Badass Abnormal]] - She fights Rei to a standstill in Chapter 20, mainly because she's a military cyborg.

* [[Blood Knight]] - She loves fighting the Angels almost as much as the Ree like Shinji.

 

Asuka's adoptive brother. Essentially Kyoko's lapdog, he is severe, stoic, and ripe for comeuppance. His comeuppance seems pretty steep, though - held as collateral by Kihl Lorenz, grappling with the fact that he's not human, being separated from his family and friends over the course of a few months, and then having his new-found girlfriend abducted after he eats a bullet to the shoulder.

* [[Badass Normal]] - Technically he should be a [[Badass Abnormal]], but for whatever reason he's no more powerful then your average US Army Private...which just makes his COMAs that much more awesome.

* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - His attitude towards Shinji's closeness with Asuka reflect this in spades. He may not always be nice, but he cares, dammit.

* [[Technicolor Eyes]] - He has [[wikipedia:Heterochromia|partial heterochromia]], blue with bits of red.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: He tries to pull off the reveal to Asuka. It didn't work as planned.

 

=== Mari Illustrious Makinami ===

 

Another potential pilot and friend of the staff. Kyoko bitterly hates her for being the product of the marriage her husband got into after abandoning Kyoko. A bit of a tease, and very fun to be around. Oh, and thanks to a [[Near-Death Experience]], she's now half Angel, if not fully Angel. Long story.

* [[Composite Character]] - Although Mari is from ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'', her relation to Asuka takes an element from the manga adaptation: Asuka in the manga had an unnamed half-sister who appeared very briefly and didn't have a single line. [[Mythology Gag|It should be noted that]] that the idea of Mari being Asuka's half-sister from the manga was an [[Epileptic Tree]] for ''Rebuild'', based on the similarity of their appearances.

* [[Cool Big Sis]] - To many folks, most notably her biological half-sister Asuka. Kei seems to find an odd kinship with her, as well.

* [[Not Blood Siblings]] - Her relationship with Uri gets interesting quickly when she starts flirting with him.

* [[Not Quite Dead]] - HOORAY for becoming an Angel and the fourth MAGI computer, Mari!

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]

{{quote|"Hello Iruel. My name is MAGI-04. My full name is Mari Illustrious Makinami. Get the hell away from my sister's boyfriend."}}

** That being said, the mini-Israfels address her as Ramiel.

* [[The Tease]] - She loves flirting with Uriel, much to Mana's annoyance.

* [[Transhuman Treachery]] - Which is a worry, both in- and out-of-universe. The [[Fan Nickname]] for the "Mari Goes Full Angel" scenario is variously dubbed [[Prototype (video game)|Mari Mercer]] or [[Anagram Bin|Mariel]].

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] - She falls into angst while pondering this after her mother effectively disowns her. Amusingly enough, ''Kei'' seems to be able to lift her spirits with a little heart-to-heart.

 

Kensuke is just like he was in canon ''Evangelion''. That is, until Rei gets hold of him in one of the early chapters. Now, after exposure to her and the Ree, he's...well, not quite the same anymore.

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]

* [[Bi the Way]] - After some consideration, is quite happy to share Shinji with Zyuu.

 

Asuka's best friend. Spymaster of the student council.

* [[Beta Couple]] - With Toji...for now (see the next trope).

* [[Covert Pervert]] - Seems that she's got some deeply buried feelings for Shinji that she wasn't even really aware of. In ch. 71, she acts on them. In the [[Beach Episode]], we get signs that she and Toji may not be exactly chaste.

 

Shinji's classmate, total lunkhead and probably one of the few normalizing factors in Shinji's life.

* [[Beta Couple]] - With Hikari

* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - Has the younger sister, and could be one for Hikari's younger sisters.

 

In this story, instead of a tank full of soulless clones of Rei, we have the Ree: seven (see the next entry) clones of Rei, living in LCL tanks deep inside NERV headquarters, each with her own distinct - and completely insane - personality and unique version of T!Rei's signature speech pattern. Their origins are as shrouded in mystery as Rei's, and are even less explored, but their original purpose was the same as Rei's.

* [[Apocalypse Maiden]]: Before their cores stabilized, they couldn't spend too much time outside of LCL tanks, or their unstable cores could have resulted in them turning into full Lilith-descended Angels. This almost happened to Kiko and Zyuu. On the bright side, they could have [[Fate Worse Than Death|''just'' died]].

* [[Black Comedy Rape]] - Poor, poor Kensuke...[[Crosses the Line Twice|not so poor]] Iruel. Kensuke thought it was 'glorious' however. Also, although it's never actually happened, this is the atmosphere of the times where Zyuu is around Shinji.

 

The most touchy-feely of the Ree. Has a tendency to wear pink. Also described as ''Sohryu-sexual.''

* [[Genius Ditz]] - Well, all the Ree are geniuses, thanks to their human side, but Kiko is...well, she's the ditz of them.

* [[The Glomp]] - This is her favorite tactic.

 

Often found wearing a French maid outfit, speaking in bad French, and being generally French. And, oh yes, trying to have sex with her half brother.

* [[Brother-Sister Incest]] - She ''ree~eeaaally'' likes Shinji.

* [[French Maid]] - Her standard getup ([http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y344/NobodyDies/Nobody%20Dies%20pics/ND%20misc%20pics/Zyuu.jpg here's] a close approximation); by association:

 

The most Orky of the Ree. Worships explosions. Knows how to make ''suns.''

* [[More Dakka]] and [[Stuff Blowing Up]] - These are her ''calling''. Yes, even more so than Rei.

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]] - [[Word of God|Word of demi-God]] (Gregg's co-writer kreuzritter) is that [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4888718&postcount=13799 she is] [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4819663&postcount=10482 very much like] Apocalypse!Rei from ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'', which makes her [[Catch Phrase]] even more of a [[Shout-Out]]

 

The scientific, experimentalist Ree, Iti has her own lab, works with the botanical teams at NERV-1, and generally stays quiet. Much to everyone's surprise.

* [[In Harmony with Nature]] - As much as a Ree can be; she's got a green thumb, and takes care of Kaji's watermelon patch when he's away.

* [[Lethal Chef]] - She makes cucumbers smell like ''fear'', according to Shinji.

 

The most ninja-like of the Ree. Hides everywhere. Even right now. Maybe she's right behind you.

* [[Stealth Based Game]] - This is the lens through which she views her life.

* [[Genre Savvy]] - Should she get caught playing at the above, she plays [[Nonstandard Game Over|music]].

 

The most hobby-ish of the Ree, Hatchi's ''thing'' is ''doing stuff.'' And making other people do it, too.

* [[The Ace]] - She believes that, as a bioengineered demigoddess, she ought to live up to that potential. Shame how base humans just can't keep up, ins't it?

* [[The Gunslinger]] - It is...unsure where the trait came from in canon, given that it was introduced in a non-canon crossover with ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', but it seems to be [[Sure Why Not|true]].

 

Apparently, she is the Sixth Child. Exactly how this will play out is yet to be seen.

* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]] - Like Rei, Kei has several "children" [[A Is]], [[Fan Nickname|dubbed The Keiworu]]. ''The Kei Files'' introduces them, and it's revealed that she made them herself using her own mental profile [[Foe Yay|and Kaworu's]]. [[Word of God]] has it that there are hundreds of them. One of the Keiworu took over Eva MP-1 to aid Uri against Shateiel. This was incidental, however, to it protecting Kaworu, who was in Unit 06's Plug as well.

** As of the current point, one of the Keiworu is serving as Unit 04a's AI, and another 9 were custom-made for the MP Evas. The Nine are... [[Cute Child|not what might be expected]].

* [[Ascended Extra]] - [[Word of God]] is that ''The Kei Files'' convinced Gregg to make Kei much more prominent than was originally intended.

* [[Badass in Distress]] - she's still SEELE's hostage. Taken to a new level in chapter 47, when Kihl Lorenz shoots her.

* [[Bi the Way]] - Overlaps with [[Single-Target Sexuality]] and [[Brother-Sister Incest]]. Unlike some of her other sisters, neither Shinji nor Asuka really do anything for her...but a threesome with Shinji ''and'' Asuka? That just gets her all hot under the collar.

** Normally though she only has eyes for Kaworu, even if he does ignore her for her identical twin sister most of the time.

{{quote|''“I demand that Dr. Ikari declare I am her favorite.”''}}

** Yui and Rei's overjoyed reactions to her return to Tokyo-3, and Yui's recent declaration that she is, in fact, her favourite, helped temporarily abate this... until Little Mommy's [[Consummate Liar|habits]] proceeded to bite her in the backside ''hard''. Ch. 70, though, appears to have set things back to an even keel.

 

 

 

She is adorable. So very, very [[Cheerful Child|adorable]].

* [[Badass Adorable]] - A god-killing abomination with the personality of a little girl? SQUEEEE!

* [[Become a Real Boy|Become A Real Girl]] - Chapter 66 - Dreams come true!

 

Zwei is the AI of Unit 02, with the intelligence and personality of a large friendly dog. First emerging when Asuka synchs with Unit 02 to fight Sandalphon and becoming more aware following the Iruel fight, he is quite attached to his pilot. Of course, the bigger the dog, the bigger the bite.

* [[All Animals Are Dogs|All Giant Angel-Cloned Robots Are Dogs]] - Well, their AI's at least.

* [[Berserk Button]] - Played literally when its Beast mode is activated. Also, do NOT hurt Asuka. You will regret it.

 

The AI of Unit 05, aka Go-kun, was created when Rei, for lack of a better term, impregnated the Core of Provisional Unit 05 with herself. Now a mix of [[Fallout|Liberty Prime]], [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]], and [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]], Go-kun is Rei's giant robot partner in delivering beat downs and drilling for Great Justice.

* [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Mad Scientist Out]] - ...in a heated argument with ANE!Ritsuko.

* [[Determinator]] - He doesn't take {{spoiler|being whipped soundly by Zeruel}} well at all, and replays the battle over and over in simulators trying to figure out how he lost.

 

The [[Four Is Death|always doomed]] Eva, the one that got destroyed during an S2 engine experiment. Turns out that it was sucked into the Dirac...along with every other Unit 04 in the multiverse that suffered the same fate. After spending an unknown amount of time in the Dirac, Four-chan has gone insane, developed split personalities, found religion (not in a good way), and built a cathedral entirely out of the dormant bodies of other Unit 04s.

* [[Alien Geometries]] - Four-Chan's Magical Castle.

* [[Ax Crazy]]

 

The most advanced Evangelion unit and one of the True Evangelions, the Mark 06 is piloted by Kaworu Nagisa. The Mark 06 is, in fact, a being called Kyoji, or the Moon Giant, an Angel-like entity found on the Moon and subsequently armored up in Evangelion restraints.

* [[The Ace]] - Implied to be a physical god capable of doing anything, should his pilot command him so.

* [[Super Prototype]] - '''True''' Evangelion, kids.

 

Is now back on the NERV staff. And conducting Science!, as she does.

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

 

Meanwhile, JA-tan was transferred to an Evangelion Core, as was confirmed in chapter 74. However, we still have to wait until we can see her in action.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - Is extremely polite, innocent, and somewhat demure. However, even she has a breaking point, and when passed will give you a ''massive'' verbal [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|witchslapping]]. Then she hits you with the [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Piko-Piko Hammer]].

* [[Damsel in Distress]] - JA-tan spends most of the time at Ichi's 12th birthday screaming and being useless.

 

See [[User:Earth Scorpion]]'s fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6122208/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies_Six_AIs_One_Continent ND: Six AIs, One Continent]'' for all the gory details of their adventures in Australia.

* [[Body Surf]] - They're AI programs, not attached to a single form, and so drop in and out of robot bodies, rebuilt cars, and [[Spider Tank]]s as needed.

* [[Die for Our Ship]] - Their former treatment of JA-tan, because their Daddy has a crush on her.

 

As with the Reego, 00-Em and 02-Ef's adventures in Australia are detailed in ''ND: Six [[A Is]], One Continent''. Meanwhile, as of Chapter 83, many of the others are getting to know their Uncles. And 03-Em B7 is getting to be Grandma's Little Helper. Given that the grandmother is Naok00...

* [[Adorkable]] - 00-Em, to Duae. Considering that they were produced from the neural templates of Kei and Kaworu, this can be taken to be a general trait.

* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - 00-Em is ferociously protective of his sister and her well-being. Given that he's a [[Heroic Sociopath]] at best...

 

Physically the [[Fan Nickname|Harpies]] from ''[[End of Evangelion]]'', Gregg took a hint from ''[[Expanded Universe|Everybody Dies]]'' and had Kei insert into each one one of a single batch of Keiworu. But instead of killing machines they are...''different.''

* [[Badass Bookworm]] - Beta seems to take studying very hard, practising with her sword during down-time

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Yes. All of them. Especially '''[http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p186/EarthScorpion/Anime/MP-Eva-Omega.png OMEGA]''', in fact, she may give Ichi a run for her money.

 

Evidence suggests that Kei may have failed to consider what "little girl very similar to her" involved.

* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Played with. She may be vaguely malevolent, but she also finds things like '''kissing''' to be [[Squick]]y

* [[Creepy Child]]: She's a malevolent Rei-look-alike, who's asked Kei to be allowed to eat Kaworu so she can grow her own S2 Organ "because the MPs have them".

 

Director of Project E, mother of at least nine children and several who see her as a mother figure, Yui Ikari changed the timeline when she decided to abort the Contact Experiment in 2005. Since then, she has run NERV and Project E with a velvet glove, ensuring that the Scenario will go according to her plan. What that plan is, on the other hand, we have no idea.

* [[Angrish]] - As her temper flares her ability to speak coherently goes down the tubes.

* [[Consummate Liar]] - She's extraordinarily benevolent. Just don't expect a straight answer about any part of the Evangelion Project, or her family history.

 

The Supreme Commander of NERV and more importantly the husband to the director of Project E. Gendo has, over the years, developed into a brilliant administrator and commander, even if no one really believes he is the true power of NERV. That just lets him get away with more, because everyone's watching Yui, instead.

* [[All the Myriad Ways]] - All the elseworlds versions of him are what ground Yui, despite their various moral discrepancies from the version of her husband SHE knows.

* [[Berserk Button]] - ''Never'' insult Yui in earshot of him. The results are not pretty.

 

An altogether more stable version of her original counterpart, she is über-competent in her job as Operations Director of NERV. She's generally the go-to person if you don't want to deal with the Commander and his wife about anything NERV related. Can also fight a super soldier to a standstill.

* [[Adult Child]] - A more positive spin on this than in canon: She's able to bond with the kids better because of her goofy side, while still being able to get her shit together and do grownup things as necessary.

* [[Badass]]

* [[Badass Boast]] - What Misato says to ADAM just before she shoots him with the positron laser.

* [[Friend to All Children]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] - Subverted in chapter 17. Are you noticing a pattern yet?

* [[Mama Bear]] - Misato is ''very'' protective of Asuka. Kyoko finds this out the hard way.

* [[The Plan]]- Chapter 54, again.

 

=== Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu ===

 

The German/Japanese head of NERV-2's branch of Project E, Kyoko came over with Evangelion Unit 02, her adopted son/pilot Uriel, and her daughter Asuka, who after sixteen years was reduced to a stammering, nervous wreck. Since then, Kyoko has come to realize when your daughter's best friend is ''Rei Ayanami,'' you quickly gain perspective. Sometimes upside down in Terminal Dogma.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: This fic will, at first, make you hate Kyoko worse than you ''ever'' hated canon!Gendo. As Gregg put it:

{{quote|Anyone raised by Kyoko Sohryu has to come out of it somehow scarred. She's the maternal equivalent of the storming of Normandy Beach. }}

 

The father of Asuka and Mari, Pieter was brought over to replace Subcommander Fuyutsuki when the old professor retired. Quickly realizing that just because he's the second in command of NERV on paper does not actually translate into actual authority, he has had a combination of walking on eggshells and awkwardness when he reignited his relationship with his ex-wife, Kyoko. Well, that and his daughter becoming the new controlling intelligence of the MAGI. Currently friends/bros with Wuffles.

* [[Above the Influence]] / [[Heroic Willpower]] - He displays these in full force in ch. 69, when he manages to overcome Lilith's MAKE BABIES psychic commands in order to stop a mind-fragged Yui from seducing him. Why'd he do it? He never wanted to betray Kyoko again.

* [[Badass Normal]] - He's <s>turning into</s> become one as of facing off against Sandalphon prime.

 

The [[Only Six Faces|Shinji-lite]] Bridge Bunny, and the only female among them. She has a poorly-hidden crush on Ritsuko.

* [[Closet Key]] - For Ritsuko.

* [[Cool Big Sis]] - she has elements of this to the Ree

 

The long-haired, rock-loving, nihilistic Bridge Bunny. The universe seems to hate him. Often tagged for "much worse duty."

* [[Butt Monkey]] - Moreso than canon!Shinji ''ever'' was.

* [[Real Men Love Jesus]] - The various events of the fic have made him find religion, because "he desperately wants to believe that he has a soul."

 

Misato's ex-boyfriend, a [[Former Teen Rebel]] and a triple agent. Mana's legal guardian and buddy.

* [[The Atoner]] - See the last trope.

* [[Big Brother Mentor]] - To any of the male cast who have issues with women. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

 

The smart girl on the Eva staff and go-to person for technical stuff. With Gendo officially taken in this continuity, Ritsuko has found herself looking at more...curvy individuals.

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]] - She gets blue hair later on.

* [[Relationship Upgrade]] - With Maya.

 

The head of SEELE, and - by definition - a very dangerous, very clever person. Currently <s>debilitated from a stroke that has left him almost completely immobile, but still dangerous</s> dead (supposedly; knowing this series, maybe not) as a result of being suffocated by Kei; while most of the cast now believes he's dead, he still nearly brought all of NERV-1 crashing down with just two emails.

* [[A God Am I]] - His stated motive, according to [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4828950&postcount=10969 Word of Gregg]

* [[Handicapped Badass]] - After a stroke, he is paralyzed, bedridden and at the mercy of a vengeful Kaworu. The entire cast is still frightened of his machinations.

* [[Karmic Death]] [[Not Quite Dead|Uh... maybe.]] You could say he deserved it after Kei suffocates him with a pillow in Chapter 74. Then again, knowing Kihl, it's entirely possible that he isn't truly dead.

 

CEO of Nippon Heavy Industries Services (NHIS), the creator of the Jet Alone Program and Mana's boss/owner, Spencer is SEELE 05, a drinking buddy of Fuyutsuki, and a man who spends his free time trying to figure out how to vandalize the moon with a laser. Will kill for a good suit.

* [[Affably Evil]] - Despite being a villain, his entrance (via having Jet Alone-5 punch through a window to deposit him) is remarkably civil.

* [[Badass]] - Commands cyborg ninjas. Rides around on a 300' tall giant robot. Wears a duster.

 

The former Sub-Commander of NERV HQ, now retired. Recently got to re-enact ''[[Die Hard]]'' in New Vegas. After assassinating Spencer, he took his position in SEELE.

* [[Air Vent Passageway]] - Someone else who picked up Rei's habits.

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

 

One of the friendlier members of SEELE. This isn't saying much. Apperently quite into machines. As revealed in Chapter 53, his true identity is Katsuhito Ikari, Yui's father and kickass scientist in his own right, as well as the chair of the Marduk Foundation.

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Christopher Lee]] - His appearance, according to [[Word of God]].

 

A particularly snide member of everyone's favourite secret conspiracy.

* [[Jerkass]]

** [[French Jerk]]

 

The maid who tends to the Makinami residence. She's possibly involved with a relationship with Uriel...or she may just be a stooge planted by SEELE for purposes nefarious. She's still saving herself until marriage. Revealed to be Yui's niece, who was sent to be Kaworu's friend.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

{{quote|"I'm going to wake up Mr. Nagisa," she says, and pushes off, floating towards Kaworu, "Hold on."

 

Pieter's second ex-wife, and Mari's mother. A lesbian, a bitch and an agent of SEELE.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Double Entendre]] - She and Kyoko have a delightful little bitch-off in her introduction, which carries over into their family dinner.

 

The fifth Cherubim, Zophael ran from the fight with Zeruel and since then has been developing intelligence. Taking a human form-which was, incidentally, copied from Asuka during the [[Beach Episode]], Zophael resembles a 14 year old Asuka. More importantly, she apparently has a giant hate-on for Shinji, causing Misato to label her as being a "lovely shade of ''tsundere.''"

* [[Constantly Curious]] - The girl is ridiculously curious.

* [[Expy]] - Of Canon Asuka

 

Everybody's favorite albino, with more scheming plots and [[Stalker with a Crush|untraditional views on romance]].

* [[Adorkable]] - When he's not doing the [[Creepy Child]] schtick, his ineptitude is awkwardly endearing (if mildly cringe-worthy).

* [[Affably Evil|Affably Morally Ambiguous]]/[[Nice Guy]] - While the evil part is arguable, he is incredibly polite, well spoken and borderlines on genteel (when he's not trying to seduce Rei).

 

The Angel of Fear, and an utter bastard and sadist. He's attacked the pilots more than once, and has proved extremely difficult to kill...sort of. It turns out that, while the real Iruel was eventually eaten by [[Pen Pen]] and apparently killed, a portion of him hiding in the AI network that the Reego used was able to preserve his mind and personality. Said portion is now in the hands of Tabris and the other Angels.

* [[Complete Monster]]:

** His attacks on the pilots in the VR simulator are based around heaping helpings of [[Mind Rape]], [[Break the Cutie]], and a side of [[Eye Scream]]. To give you an idea: the bare description of what he did to Ichi, when it was posted as a teaser, incited the equivalent of a ''[[Torches and Pitchforks|riot]]'' in the fic's Spacebattles thread.

 

The last remnant of the Angel Sandalphon, Junior switches sides to NERV following his first encounter with Pieter Sohryu. He has become friends with Sohryu, as well as taking some level of interest in human activities. Looks good in a trenchcoat.

* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] - "Does he...just eat the can and not the beer?"

* [[Big Damn Heroes]] - The Israfelim chasing Asuka and Shinji learn the hard way.

 

Zeruel is the Angel of Might, the ''de facto'' leader of the Angels, and the most powerful of the Angels save for ADAM. Waiting for his turn, he nonetheless has appeared several times, either speaking with the other Angels on the role the Angels must play now that ADAM is gone and showing disgust at Tabris' plans to mate with the Lilim.

* [[A God Am I]] - [[Word of God]] is that previous versions of Zeruel were worshipped as a messenger of the Old Testament God. He even takes credit for destroying Jericho and the Tower of Babel during the peace talks.

* [[Badass]] - Goes without saying. To give you an idea of his power: he blew a chunk out of the moon when he left it for Earth, and when he landed, he pretty much pulverized '''Mt. Everest'''.

 

The Angel of Night, made up of the Dirac space that forms bridges between worlds and, as of recently, contains ADAM. The part of Leliel that connected with the ND! universe is now dead, but has been resurrected in a sense in Lilly, who is a roughly baseball-sized replica of Leliel's shadow that can fly, [[Our Wormholes Are Different|function as a portable hole]], and has the mind of a toddler.

* [[Emoticon]]: Lilly turns her patterns into these for facial expressions.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Aunt Lilly, the Happy Fun Ball.

 

The Angels of poetry and music. They like [[Dance Dance Revolution|DDR]].

* [[Asteroids Monster]]: Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in typical ''[[Nobody Dies]]'' fashion.

* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: See [[Zerg Rush]]}}

 

The Angel of Mysteries, one of ADAM's Cherubim. Took over Unit 03 instead of Bardiel.

* [[Evil Counterpart]] - Well, ''eviler'' counterpart. All of the Cherubim are even more indiscriminately destructive knockoffs of the Angels ([[Beta Baddie|if not generally quite as powerful]]). Raziel is clearly based off Bardiel, to the point of taking his place in events when his Angelic counterpart mysteriously vanished.

* [[Hero-Killer]] - Delivered a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] to Zwei and Ichi, mortally wounding the latter.

 

Bearer of the Fruit of Life, and thus bestoes on life derived from him with Powers.

* [[Bishie Sparkle]] - It's been suggested that ''He'' is the ultimate Bishonen. [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=159237&page=439 Discussion starts here on post 10967, and continues on the next page.]

* [[Eldritch Abomination]] - All of the Angels are to some extent, but He takes the cake.

 

The Second Angel, and the source of all life on Earth. As the bearer of the Fruit of Knowledge, she bestoes on life derived from her with [[Mad Science|SCIENCE]]. Oh yeah, and [[Captain Obvious|she likes kids.]]

* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|Amazingly Embarrassing Progenator]] - Don't bring your significant other to meet her unless you've gotten the ring. The first thing she'll say to you is "Make '''Babies'''."

** And you will '''[[Brainwashed and Crazy|listen.]]'''

 

{{spoiler|Chapter 87 reveals that part of Ramiel's own soul still exists within Mari, but it is apparently dormant...for now.}}

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: His attempt to kill Mari as a last act of spite towards the "lilim" ended up sealing his fate.

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Think about it. His physical body is destroyed, and his spirit is eventually purged by Uri, but then he tries to have the last laugh by killing Mari. Not only does this fail, but Mari proceeds to take over his core, and subsequently all his power. Essentially, this [[Puny Humans|puny lilim]], rather than die like he meant her too, instead lived on and stole his power and even his identity (most, if not all of the Angels consider Mari to be the new Ramiel). And if chapter 87 is to be believed, he is ''fully aware of all of this, and is literally incapable of doing anything about it''. Almost makes you pity him...almost.

 

The Angel of Birds, Light of God, and the Angel which plunged the entire world into a seven week dream state. Her exact plans or end goal are unknown, but in the process she has made a distinct enemy of Kaworu, and has somehow bootstrapped Armisael into an entirely new tier of power.

* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Does this to the entirety of planet Earth, ''including all the Angels currently on it'', for seven weeks. Why? {{spoiler|Apparently to turn Uriel into a fully-fledged Angel.}} Only Lilith seemed immune to its influence.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Has a peculiar habit of saying four things at once, each a slight variation/refinement of the general thought (see the above quote).

 

Very curious.

* [[Expy]]: Of the Curiosity Core from [[Portal (series)|Portal]].

 

 

The Angel of the Womb. Unlike the other Angels, Armisael has been largely a non factor in terms of the story's main conflict, opting instead to reconstruct South America's ecology and be worshiped as a god.

* [[Badass]]: Armisael is implied to be the only one of Zeruel's siblings that can challenge him for position of "Strongest Angel".

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Yes, the Angel of the Womb is male. What?

* [[Expy]]: [[Word of God]] has stated that Armisael is to [[Homeworld|Bentus]] as Zeruel is to [[Mass Effect|Harbinger]].

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Has preferred to rehabilitate South America over getting involved with main conflict.

 

 

Yomiko has proven to be a very popular character with the readers, but depending on who's writing the snippets, her personality and traits can vary noticeably.

In [[User:Earth Scorpion]]'s material:

* [[Adorkable]] - She's her parents' child, for better and worse. She is, admittedly, better socialised than they are, but she's still rather cutely dorky.

* [[Locked Out of the Loop]] - Thanks to Kei's machinations, Yomiko is unaware of Kei's past and family. That is slowly starting to change.
