History
This led to humanity developing the Evangelions that were Multi-purpose Humanoid Fighting Machines.
Overview
They were described as being the most advanced weapon system devised by man with them being classified as the synthetic humanoid Evangelion. Though appearing as gigantic mecha, the Eva's were actually cyborgs as they integrated a primarily organic being with a substantial amount of mechanical infrastructure around them.
A capsule known as an entry plug was used to house the pilot that controlled the Evangelion though the extent of their control did vary. The pilots themselves were selected from fourteen year olds whose mothers had died after the Second Impact. They were chosen by the Marduk Institute and designated in numerical order as children such as First Child, Second Child and so on. The reason for this was because the soul's of the pilots mothers were integrated into the Eva thus enabling a psychic link between the mecha and the user. Once connection was established, the entry plug was filled with a translucent breathable liquid known as LCL that allowed the pilot to electrochemically control the Evangelion. It filled the Entry Plug with the pilots lungs being filled with it where it oxygenated the blood directly. The LCL liquid had been mentioned on numerous occasions as smelling like blood and in reality it was derived from the blood of the second Angel Lilith. Pilots also wore special uniforms known as plug suits and utilized interface headsets to achieve a better level of synchronization with their Evangelion. Though possessing armor, an Eva's primary defensive trait was the capacity to generate an Absolute Terror Field (AT Field). This was a form of force shield that protected the mecha from all forms of conventional attacks and could be used to disrupt the AT-Field of an Angel.
