'''Adeptus Evangelion''' is a [[Dark Heresy]] modification inspired by the [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3886999/Shinji_and_Warhammer40k Shinji and Warhammer40k fanfiction] designed to run games in the world of the [[anime]] series ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''. The [[Player Character|player characters]] are psychologically unstable teenagers tapped by a secretive paramilitary organization in order to pilot bio-mechanical monstrosities in humanity's last bid for survival. There can also be an adult PC in charge of herding the teenagers and directing them in [[combat]]. [[Call of Cthulhu|Secret and horrifying truths]] will be revealed, the players will descend slowly into [[Sanity|madness]], and everything will just keep tumbling, tumbling down.

As {{Anonymous}} put it,

 YOU MAKE THE CHILD
 YOU HAVE THE MENTAL ISSUES
 YOU DRIVE THE ROBOT
 YOU FIGHT THE ANGELS
 YOU GO CRAZY
 YOU TURN INTO TANG
 MAYBE SAVE THE WORLD
 IF YOU DON'T FUCK IT ALL UP
 WHICH YOU PROBABLY WILL

It is entirely possible to re-enact the show (and parts of ''Rebuild'', if you're so inclined), but if you have even a little bit of creativity, you can swap out mythologies, create new secret cabals, and make new enemies. '''Adeptus Evangelion''' even has a way to generate Angels.

If you have questions or comments, the Adeptus Evangelion [irc://irc.rizon.net/AdeptusEvangelion IRC channel] is where most discussion takes place.

== Version 3 ==

Christmas came and went, and with it, Sachiel Claus delivered us a new edition of Ad Eva. Also, Black Mesa Janitor helped.

== Dark Heresy Base Rules ==

Adeptus Evangelion (aside from Version 3 and above) uses the following chapters of the Dark Heresy core book:
* Chapter I: Character Creation (Not critical but it will help you 'get' things easier)
* Chapter III: Skills 
* Chapter IV: Talents
* Chapter V: Armoury
* Chapter VII: Playing the Game
* Chapter VIII: The [[GM|Game Master]]

== Version 2.5 ==


[[file:AdEvaCharSheet2.5E.pdf|thumb|Editable PDF version of the 2.5 character sheet. Enjoy.]]

After some time working and re-working the game system, the developers of ''Adeptus Evangelion'' decided that Dark Heresy as a base was simply not cutting it, and have decided to move away to a new system for Version 3. During this time of soul-searching, quite a few documents have been put out attempting to fix issues with Version 2. Those fixes have been put together into Version 2.5.

The documents for 2.5 (now complete after a brief Beta release on /tg/) can be found here:

* [http://horobox.co.uk/u/ShepherdsPie_1423344375.swf Evangelion Color Visualizer]

=== Borderline Edition ===

The 2.5 development process was not without [[Skub|drama]], as the history and talk pages of this article will show you.

The result of this development [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 fork] is '''[[AdEva Borderline]]'''. Some of the ideas from '''Borderline Edition''' are interchangeable with 2.5, or you could run Borderline independently. 

See the [[AdEva Borderline]] page for more information.

== NPC Laundry List ==

This is a suggested/basic list of [[NPC|NPCs]] GMs should consider including. It is not all-inclusive, and some NPCs can be folded into others (i.e. Class Rep is shopkeeper).
