=== Jaegers and EVA Units ===
A list and explanation of the various giant robots in the setting.

==== Jaegers ====
The Jaegers ''(from the German word for "hunter")'' are giant, humanoid robots roughly 70-80m tall.  Built with the intention of intercepting and defeating Kaiju before the can make landfall, the Jaegers are built to be massive walls able to beat down the Kaiju with just their fists.  This keeps the spread of Kaiju Blue, which is spread via a Kaiju's blood, to a minimum.  Any weapons that aren't blunt force are usually designed to cauterize the wounds, or are last resort weapons to be used in emergencies.  

They are piloted via a neural uplink that allows a human to control the Jaeger with their own body.  However, do to the strain of trying to control something so large, two pilots, designated 'Rangers,' sync together in a process known as Drifting.  Once a connection is established each Ranger is inside the other's head, allowing them to think more or less as one, with each controlling one half of the Jaeger.

*'''Harlequin Rodeo'''- Mark 4 ScrapBuild with Mark 5 Parts. Boasts that its the fastest Jaegar to walk Terra Firma. Has yet to be proven.
*'''Two-Timer'''- EVA/Jaegar Hybrid, Combines the power-plant of a Mark 3 with the EVA Frame. Heavy Modification to keep the thing together, so slower then your Average EVA, and not as well armored as your standard Jaegar.
*'''Ring Leader'''-another EVA/Jaegar Hybrid apparently stolen from the Chinese, it was there best attempt to copy EVA-O1. Also has a On board Power plant, ripped of a Dead Mark 4. 
*'''Lion Tamer'''- Mark 2 Redux. Someone with a real love for that Clunker Cherno decided to make his best imitation. They say Mockery is the most sincerest form of Flattery. That remains to be seen.
*'''Shrike Victor''' - An Australasian Jaeger with a New Zealand crew, Shrike Victor was one of the last of the Mark 3 Jaegers to be built.
*'''Emerald Spark''' -
*'''Whiskey Churchill''' - A British Mark 4 Jaeger built as renewed waves of Kaiju came from the Atlantic portal.
*'''Santo Machismo''' - piloted by an actual Lucha tag-team, the duo were actually training/wrestling in Japan during the time of the Onibaba attack. Surviving the carnage, they garnered a distaste for NERV, as they believe the EVA unit caused too much collateral damage and harmed many innocents. After a period of rest in Mexico, they made their way to the Lima Shatterdome in Peru in response to the open recruitment drives. Santo itself is a Mark III, it's head stylized (in either paint job or actual design) to resemble the silver mask of Mexico's most famous lucha, El Santo. The Jaeger is known to utilize the duo's wrestling moves and is a national symbol in Mexico.
*'''Buster Astro''' - Astro is piloted by veteran Ranger Terry Hirst and the daughter of his previous partner, Laura Elsen. Laura's father Jay had been friends with Terry since middle school. They joined the military together and immediately signed up for the Jaeger program as soon as they could. Their first Jaeger was a Mark II named Tiger Domino; they had many successful missions together and lasted well into the Mark III era until a disastrous mission against a Category III. The current Jaeger, Buster Astro is one of the earlier Mark IV's and boasts their increased maneuverability and speed. As Jay and Terry were both children of the 80's, Terry and Laura have affectionately called the railgun stored in Astro's left arm the mega buster.

==== EVA Units ====
The Evangelions, known simply as Evas, are cyborgs based off of ancient Kaiju remains recovered from Antarctica (Codename 'Adam') that are grown and lobotomized.  They are then wrapped in protective armor that conveniently acts as a restraint on the Eva and hides its organic nature.  Its Kaiju heritage (possibly mixed with a slight bit of human DNA), allows it to generate an AT Field.  This 'Absolute Territory' is present in all living creatures, preserving one's sense of self.  Disconnected from the Kaiju hive-mind, an Eva stands alone enough to manifest its AT Field as a barrier, compensating for its lessened armor compared to both the Jaegers and its Kaiju cousins.

Evas are piloted through a device known as an Entry Plug, which is inserted into the spine, connecting it to the Eva's nervous system.  This allows a system similar to the Jaeger Drift, although with a couple VERY important differences.  The most pressing is that instead of two human pilots, there is only one pilot who syncs with the Eva itself.  On top of this, for some reason only select teenagers possess the capability to even begin a Drift with the Eva unit.  This particular fact means that all Eva pilots are usually in there teens, as any who might survive to adulthood are usually burnt out by the close connection they share with the giant alien consciousness.

*'''Unit-05'''  - One of the early production model Evangelions, Unit-05 has seen many pilots over the years. However, its first pilot, [REDACTED] the Seventh Child, (we don't talk about the fifth) seems to have left an impression on what little remains of the Eva's mind. Whenever Unit-05 Beserks, it seems to take a more refined stance than normal for a rogue Eva, and has less trouble identifying allies. It's rumored, although only where command can't hear you talking, that it even obeys general orders to the best of its ability. Where this precision and almost training comes from is anyone's guess, but there have always been whispers that the Seventh Child's grave isn't empty because she wanted to be cremated.


*'''Unit-08'''  - After the first flying Kaiju came through the rift a noticeable flaw became apparent in the world's current defenses. The lack of powerful ranged options meant that Nevermore got farther into the mainland then any Kaiju short of Trespasser. While the PPDC's options were limited, NERV decided they could possibly mimic Nevermore's own flight.  Paying top dollar to have much of Nevermore's upper body shipped to the Berlin Geofront, NERV began research into allowing an Evangelion to fly. Of course, there were more than a few detractors to this plan. A giant robot is scary enough, one that can fly is even scarier.  Eventually, NERV realized that if they wished an Eva to fly with its AT-field, they would need to give it wings as a base. Thus, was Unit-08 born. With two fleshy wings attached to its back, it resembles the archetypal devil to those who see its profile.
