Evangelion

## Gallery

Evangelion is an automaton from an alternate future in the time stream. He was brought to the present in one of Indunar's time rifts. After gaining intelligence he joined the Heralds of Retha, and helped them on their journey to defeat Indunar.

## Appearance

Evangelion is a large humanoid machine with glowing white eyes. He has a very tall and metallic appearance, who contains a white magic core within. He's made of a wood-metal alloy, and has no regular facial features.

## Brief History

Evangelion was created by Dr. Aurghnamm in the 16th dawn. He was first mass produced as a Prototype 3 automaton. When Indunar reunited the Chaos Core in the 12th dawn, many temporary time rifts were created. He was pulled in through one of those rifts and was transported backwards in time.

He was found by the Kin of Law, and was taken back to their dimension. He was later handed off to the Heralds of Retha, as they were told to study its behavior. They asked the Kin of Minds to create a conciousness for him, and he did, bringing life to Evangelion.

Since then he has traveled with the Heralds of Retha, proving himself useful in battles and slowly unlocking his mysteries and potential. He managed to learn to speak common and unlocked several automaton abilities, such as his re-functioning program.

He later became 'absorbed' and disappeared, with no one knowing what happened.

## Abilities

Evangelion's durable robotic body gives him several physical advantages, but can also manipulate a special type of mana through his magical core.

* **Multilingualism-** Evangelion is capable of speaking and understanding both common and automaton.
* **Automaton Physiology-** His body is big and made of a strong metallic material. This gives him a big physical advantage over others. He is also inorganic, protecting him from poisons and lack of oxygen.
	+ **Enhanced Strength-** Due to his physiology Evangelion possesses some form of super strength. He has been seen lifting and carrying things that no normal human would be able to.
		- **Steelwork Clash-** Formerly named rush, this attack deals painful amounts of damage to his opponents. It also drains his mana by a small amount.
		- **Corkscrew Crash-**  Formerly named slam, this attack has more range and can hit multiple targets but doesn't deal as much damage. It also drains his mana by a small amount.
		- **Block-** Evangelion has a defensive technique named block, which when used, reduces the amount of damage taken from the enemies next attack.
		- **Donut-** This special punch is best used from behind, and if used on weaker enemies, has a chance to automatically kill them.
		- **Gear Grind-** Evangelion's best melee attack to date, this barrage-like flurry of punches has the power to pulverize the enemies in his ways. Each individual punch has the force of a powerful piston behind it; deals a considerable amount of damage.
	+ **Enhanced Durability-** Due to his physiology, Evangelion possesses great amounts of durability, and has been seen tanking blows from different enemies and weapons, being barely affected. He can negate all damage from an attack, provided it doesn't have near-perfect accuracy. This later increased to allow Evangelion to negate any form of knock back.
	+ **Restoration Ball-** Evangelion can choose to compress his body into a smaller circular shape. In this state he is unable to do any sort of action besides moving. However, he becomes incredibly hard to hit while passively regenerate health and mana with every passing moment.
	+ **Plate Separation-** Evangelion can choose to separate his inner plates to create a hollow space. Then he can briefly open his outer plates, allowing things to enter and reside within his body.
	+ **Automaton Prime-** Evangelion unlocked this status after obtaining various automaton abilities. This state of mechanized superiority gives him some new abilities.
		- **Automaton Mana Generation-** Evangelion's body has learnt to generate mana at a quicker pace. He can now generate and recover a small amount of mana every turn, giving him a big advantage.
		- **Automatic Re-Functioning Program-** This protocol in Evangelion's programming makes it so that his body actively recharges from low C.M.E. levels. This effectively brings Evangelion back to life if his physical form were to perish, although this process takes time.

* **Mental Defense-** Evangelion's mind is strong, which grants him resistance to nearly all mental tricks and attacks. He may be resistant, but is not invulnerable.
* **Automaton Mana Manipulation-** Evangelion is naturally gifted at controlling automaton mana, and has an abundance of it. He controls it through his core, and can allow him to do very special things.
	+ **Elemental Absorption-** When hit by an elemental attack, Evangelion has the opportunity to temporarily absorb the element into his core, and fuel his next attack with it, becoming more powerful. He can absorb any element but only one at a time.

* **Self-Gravity Manipulation-** An astonishing ability given to him by the Kin of Gravity, this power allows Evangelion to decrease the gravity around himself. This temporarily doubles his walking speed, being a great advantage when trying to get close to an enemy. This technique also requires mana.
	+ **Gravity Projection-** An extended ability, Evangelion can extend his gravity control to his attacks, giving himself or his teammates more advantages during battle, such as tampering with the enemy's gravity.

## Equipment

Evangelion is the most recent member of the team, so he doesn't have as many items and weapons as they do. He's a physical fighter, and fights with his fists. This gives him a lack of need for weapons, but some items can still prove themselves very useful.

* **Pivot Crystals-** These special crystals were created in the stomach of the Great Ocean Guardian. They can attach to Evangelion's hands, allowing him to use mana to reflect his opponents next attack. The attack must be some sort of ranged projectile.
* **Back Capsules-** These are small capsules, and can be activated by being placed in the holes on Evangelion's back. Each capsule has a different effect, such as temporarily increasing damage, recovering mana, recovering health, etc. Additionally, there is also a Big Capsule at his disposal. This capsule greatly heals him and doubles the damage of his attacks.
* **Core Guardian Plates-** These distinctive plates were given to Evangelion by the Kin of Law, and were forged with materials from the center of Senothia. They allow Evangelion to create lava and manipulate the ground, proving themselves as some of his best techniques.
* **Gorkuruthn Gauntlet-** A now powerful gauntlet that was enchanted with the essence of the Gorkuruthn, it is Evangelion's strongest weapon. Besides possessing great strength, it can also shoot acid and types of tar. Its powers were further increased with Phantom Fragments.

## Weaknesses

* **Mana Meter Drain-** If one of his attacks consumes too much mana, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His mana can always recharge after some time or through other means, but if completely drained of mana, he is rendered unable to use any of his powerful attacks.
* **Fragile Core-** While Evangelion's armor is highly durable and may be able to negate almost all damage, if an attack manages to pierce through his armor with good-enough accuracy, the attack will deal twice the damage to Evangelion that it would do to any other person.
* **Inorganic Body-** Due to Evangelion's robotic body, the effects of potions and herbs are rendered useless. While this can serve as an advantage from time to time, it removes the possibility of him replenishing health or mana through potions.
* **Movement Limitation-** Evangelion has a heavy metallic body, which restricts his movements. He can move at a slightly slower pace than the average movement. He is a physical fighter, so this can prove itself a big disadvantage when trying to get close to his enemies.
