Adam: The 1st Angel – The very first Angel was discovered in Antarctica during the Katsuragi expedition lead by Misato’s father. It was there that the first Angel, Adam, was found, described by those few survivors of the expedition team as a glowing giant. Humanity had found their god of gods, but when humanity attempted to contain what they had found, by reducing Adam to his embryo form, their god fought back, the second impact… Adam vanished, and was not seen again until many years later when humanity revived their god, from his remains found after the second impact, containing him in his embryo form. Then came the Angels.
Shinji Ikari – While still an infant, Shinji witnessed the death of his mother, Yui Ikari, during an experiment for the Evangelion project. After her death, he was abandoned by his father, Gendo Ikari, and found himself in the care of his teacher. These losses left him emotionally uncertain, insecure, and frightened of himself and his world. At the age of fourteen, Shinji was summoned by his father to become the third Evangelion pilot(The Third Child). He always keeps a quiet and withdrawn demeanor, but he’s very gentle and caring inside.
The Evangelion Unit 00-02 stand in individual lubricant nutrient chambers since the EVA’s are semi-organic. These chambers can be filled or emptied by commands from operations. These same chambers can be reconfigured to run virtual combat simulations for EVA/Pilot optimization.
