	A Japanese word usually referring to some kind of giant monster, such as Godzilla, the term Kaiju was accepted as the best name for the giant monsters that began rising from the sea in 2013. They posses a completely alien biology, bearing only a passing resemblance to any form of life on Earth. This is because, unknown to all but a handful of the human race, the Kaiju aren't simply wild animals crossing through a convenient dimensional hole in the sea, but genetically engineered soldiers designed to take out large population centers for their masters/creators known as the Precursors.

	While the Kaiju are divided into Categories based on their size and threat level, all Kaiju share certain traits that tie them together. The oddest of these traits is the Absolute ~~Territory~~, or AT, Field that they're able to manifest. While it is theorized that all living creatures have an AT field that protects an individual's sense of self, only the Kaiju, and their cousins the Evas, are able to manifest it in real-space, allowing for minor abuses on the laws of physics.

	For the Kaiju, this usually boils down to a light shield that protects them from weaponry up to a certain grade. While this field is usually only as strong as a Kaiju's natural armor, with some bulkier Kaiju actually having stronger hides than AT fields, the field can protect even the more exposed parts of a Kaiju, such as the eyes and open wounds. This means that, in most cases, it is impossible to use a heavy weapon of some kind, such as a plasma cannon, to open up the Kaiju and allow conventional weaponry to finish the job.

	*'''SEELE''' ''(from the German word for "soul")'': A shadowy ~~organization~~ 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.		*'''SEELE''' ''(from the German word for "soul")'': A shadowy illuminati that has their hands in just about every pie worldwide.

	*'''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.		*'''Gehirn''' ''(from the German word for "brain")'': A secretive biotechnology research laboratory which operated publicly as the UN Artificial Evolution Laboratory.

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.		*'''NERV''' ''(from the German word for "nerve")'': One of the organizations created in the aftermath of K-day to combat the Kaiju.

	Originally a simple request by an Anon for what system would best run Pacific Rim, it quickly evolved into a crossover of two great end-of-the-world Mech universes. As /tg/ is wont to do, it's expanding into a full system (as seen on the [[JAEVA: Giant Robot RPG system]] page, dedicated completely to the rules) and setting able to represent the original idea, the new combination, or just about any giant robot game you want to play.

	*'''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.		*'''Unit-08''' - After the first flying Kaiju came through the rift a noticeable flaw became apparent in the world's current defenses.

	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 012''' -		*'''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.

	Personality of a character (or even robot!) can effect a lot both in roleplay and gameplay. The most basic way to describe a personality is using the color wheel below which uses an easy way to describe a character's personality in a single word by seeing which word they connect or would describe the majority of their feelings as.

The most basic way to describe a personality is using the color wheel below which uses an easy way to describe a character's personality in a single word by seeing which word they connect or would describe the majority of their feelings as.

	When dealing with, piloting alongside, or trying to convince other characters, characters will take a penalty of -1 to ~~their relevant combined stats (only~~ -1 ~~for the sum, not each) for every space over~~ that ~~character's personality is~~ on the ~~wheel.~~ For example: if a pessimistic character is trying to pilot a robot alongside an optimistic character, they would be at a -3 on all their rolls to work with that character due to how little they understand them. On the flipside, if the optimistic character was working with another optimistic character, they would be at a -0, and would be fighting as if ~~they were one~~.		When dealing with, piloting alongside, or trying to convince other characters, characters will take a +1 bonus for rolls dealing with characters who have personalities next to theirs on the chart, and +2 for dealing with those who have personalities identical to their own. alternatively, characters dealing with their exact opposite personality (the one across from theirs on the chart) get a penalty of -2 to rolls dealing with these characters, and take -1 penalties when dealing with characters that are next to their opposite on the chart
			For example: if a pessimistic character is trying to pilot a robot alongside an optimistic character, they would be at a -2 on all their rolls to work with that character due to how little they understand them. On the flipside, if the optimistic character was working with another optimistic character, they would be at a +2, and would be fighting better if the person understands them.

	This is the concept of synchronicity, and the idea of it is to bring a more psychological element to the game, where a two pilots can have a hard time getting along with each other and have it reflect in their performance.

	*[NOTE: At the moment Personality is a very simple mechanic. there is intent to change this into a "mood shift" mechanic where a character has a dominant mood, and will change depending on the situation they find themselves in. It is currently a very confusing idea that keeps us from simplifying it, so until we are able to find a simpler solution, personality it is.]		*[NOTE: At the moment Personality is a very simple mechanic. there is intent to eventually change this into a "mood shift" mechanic where a character has a dominant mood, and will change depending on the situation they find themselves in.
