Arael

==Summary==
Arael is the Fifteenth Angel. Attacking from orbit, it was too far away to damage with conventional weaponry, requiring NERV to make Unit-00 throw the Spear of Longinous into space to destroy it.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , with A.T. Field
Name: Arael, the Fiftheenth Angel
Origin: Evangelion
Age: 15 years old (Arael's soul was deposited into a physical body immediately after the events of "Second Impact" on 13th September 2000 A.D.)
Gender: N/A
Classification: Angel
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Adaptation and Accelerated Development (Angels are capable of adapting to their environment, with Larval Angels shown to reach an adult state seconds after hatchingNeon Genesis Evangelion E10: The Magma Driver), Forcefield Creation (A.T. Fields are force-field barriers which Angels. Conventional weapons are effectively useless in penetrating an A.T. Field; the only thing that do so is usually another A.T. FieldNeon Genesis Evangelion E1: Angel Attack), Quantum Manipulation and Shapeshifting (A person's ego boundary is what forms their shapeNeon Genesis Evangelion E20: Of the Shapes of Hearts and Humans and keeps it from breaking down. Also, as shown by Shinji and other Lilin as a whole they are able to reform their bodies after being turned into a quantum state/pure LCL. Angels scale to Humanity as share they same nature because of the latter being the 18th Angel/Lilin, furthermore they possess a stronger A.T. Field, which is shown to be the ego boundary during the events of the Third ImpactEnd of Evangelion), Self-Sustenance (Type 1, 2, and 3. Angels have shown repeatedly to not require oxygen and get endless energy from their S² Engines so they don't require sustenanceNeon Genesis Evangelion 2), Regeneration (High-Low, Low-High over time. Angels are capable of regenerating relatively large wounds And as long as an Angel's core and S² Engine is intact, it can theoretically regenerate the damaged tissue, given enough time), Flight, Telepathy, Memory Manipulation, Energy Projection and Mind Manipulation (Capable of making its opponent relive terrible memories and thoughts, probed Asuka's MindNeon Genesis Evangelion E22: At least, be human), Resistance to Ice Manipulation, Cosmic Radiation, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Unaffected by living in space, The A.T Field is the ego boundary that keeps a being's individuality and that protects the heart/soul from outside influence)
Attack Potency: Unknown (Does not focus on physical destruction), Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (A.T. Fields can be used offensively to bypass those of others). Can ignore conventional durability through its Mind Attack Beam (By combing through a target's memories and mind, Arael causes major mental trauma), 
Speed: Unknown (Arael spent the entire duration of its appearance in low-Earth orbit, and is completely stationary). Speed of Light attack speed via Mind Attack Beam (Arael projects it as a ray of light)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Unknown (The only time Arael is physically harmed is by the Spear of Longinus). Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (An A.T. Field's strength is derived by the soul, which should be around the same caliber among the angels. Sachiel and Israfel's A.T Fields allowed them to survive a direct N2 mine detonation)
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Extended Melee Range. Hundreds of Kilometers with the Mind Attack Beam (Arael successfully targets Asuka inside Eva-02 from its orbital position)
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: Arael appears to be intelligent enough to possibly pass off as "sentient": while it is never implied, there is a possibility that the "child Asuka" present during the actual Asuka's mind attack was in fact the "Angel of Birds" attempt at communication (and it is well documented that Angel-human communications are similarly traumatic and surreal for the latter individuals). The "Mind Attack" beam also demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of Arael's "offence": never requiring to make physical contact with Earth and risking its life against the Evangelion Units.
Weaknesses: The "core" of an Angel, once breached, means absolute certainty of death for the Angel involved
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*A.T. Field (A.T. = Absolute Terror): The intangible light of the soul in the physical world, A.T. Fields are possessed by all living beings on NGE-Earth and are one of the major aspects of the human psyche that defines someone as "individual" and "protect" them from the intrusion of another's feelings. However, the Evangelion Units and the Angels are unique in the ability to generate A.T. Fields that are corporeal and occasionally visible to the naked eye, possibly due to the large amount of innate energy contained in their souls. Their A.T. Fields mostly function as a physical defence: a forcefield consisting of concentric octagonal yellow lines. The barrier is almost perfect, only being temporarily disrupted from its active state by incredibly energetic weapons (such as military-grade positron beams and "N² Weapons") or erosion by another corporeal "A.T. Field" that is superior in strength. If left alone after initial disruption, the A.T. Field will revive its durability almost instantly as long as the user is still alive, making it a regenerative barrier. The transition from a dormant A.T. Field to an active Field is indicated by a slight atmospheric blurring.
*Mind Attack Beam: Arael's primary form of "offence" is to project a beam of light from its body and shine it down on the opponent, forcibly probing their minds and recollecting painful or traumatic events from their memories, incapacitating the opponent in the horror of recollection. This may in fact be a bizarre and excessively ruthless attempt of "communication" with foreign species on the part of Arael, considering its siblings' similar track-records at Angel-to-human "conversation" and the presence of a "child Asuka" constantly talking to the "real" Asuka in the sequences, though this has yet to be confirmed. Strangely enough, the light projection appears to be accompanied by a chorus of Hallelujah, which makes the whole experience even more surreal and more terrifying.
*Regeneration: Arael possesses the ability to recover or revive lost portions of its body. While it does not demonstrate the ability against the Evangelion Units (as the "core" is the single organ that cannot be reconstructed, for obvious reasons), the "S² Engine" contained within the "core" automatically allows for regeneration.
