=== Organizations ===

Assuming you know nothing about either Evangelion or Pacific Rim, you're probably going to be confused by some of the names thrown around in the rest of this page.  Let's fix that shall we?

*'''SEELE''' ''(from the German word for "soul")'': A shadowy illuminati that has their hands in just about every pie worldwide.  They're obsessed with the idea of 'Human Instrumentality,' which boils down to turning humanity into one giant hive-mind.  Of course, if they end up in charge of said think tank, that's a nice bonus.  They secretly run NERV under the name of the Instrumentality Committee, which NERV is technically answerable to, although because NERV has a bunch of giant robots, SEELE's 'control' is a delicate state.
*'''Gehirn''' ''(from the German word for "brain")'': A secretive biotechnology research laboratory which operated publicly as the UN Artificial Evolution Laboratory.  Their funding and true purpose comes from SEELE.  They developed the technologies that would be used in the MAGI and EVA units as part of SEELE's Human Instrumentality Project.  They went public (more public, anyway) and became NERV when the Kaiju started attacking.
*'''NERV''' ''(from the German word for "nerve")'': One of the organizations created in the aftermath of K-day to combat the Kaiju.  They build/grow, maintain, and have command of the giant cyborgs classified as Evangelions.  Incredibly secretive, NERV does its best to keep all information as hidden as possible, even from its own staff at times.  They are based out of massive artificial underground domes call Geofronts that act as the Eva maintenance bays, research labs, command rooms, and as shelters for the civilians the cities they're based in.
*'''PPDC''' ''(Pan Planetary Defense Corps)'': Originally the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.  The name was changed once the UN realized that a second rift had opened in the Atlantic Ocean.  They maintain and command the giant robots classified as Jaegers.  Far more open than their counterpart NERV, the PPDC is based out of large bases known as 'Shatterdomes' which house the Jaegers themselves along with all staff and personal.  Due to being run as an actual armed force, the PPDC is generally respected for its professional handling of the Kaiju War.
