EVANGELIONS
Eva Unit 00: Prototype
This is the first Evangelion to be built, and is piloted be Rei Ayanami. Built to fight hand-to-hand with the Angels, it is mankind's first hope to fight them off. Although, unit 00 has gotten out of control on several occasions. At first, it was thought to be metal instability in the pilot, but later it was discovered that it was the Eva. After the 8th Angel was destroyed, NERV upgraded this unit to work better, and gave it a new paint job.
All Evangelions require massive amounts of energy to operate. This is supplied through an umbilical power cord. In the event the umbilical is damaged or severed, an internal battery can power the Eva. The battery only lasts 5 minutes in minimal actively mode, and 1 minute at Eva's full power.
Eva Unit 01: Test Type
EVA-01 has undoubtedly seen far more action in its time than any of the other Evas under NERV's control, it is also extremely unpredictable. On several occasions now Unit 01 has moved without energy being supplied to it. On it's first mission, Shinji was incapacitated, and still the Eva worked and defeated the Angel, thus called a berserker. Though it is because of this Eva's rogue behavior that many of the Angels were actually successfully destroyed and its pilot is still alive to tell the tale. Unit 01 is also different from the other Evas in that it wasn't built from Adam, but instead from Lilith. As Lilith is capable of instigating the third impact, it comes of no surprise that Gendo and SEELE value Unit 01 significantly more than the other Evangelions.
Eva Unit 02: Production Model
EVA-02 is the first Eva production model to be constructed, and is therefore a template for future Evangelions, or at least it was thought to be at the time of its construction. Unit 02 is piloted by Asuka Langley Soryu. It is the only Eva to have experienced extreme conditions such as engaging an Angel in aquatic combat, and beneath seventeen hundred meters of molten lava.
Eva Unit 03: Production
EVA-03 existence a very short one. It's first test activation at Matsushiro goes horribly wrong as the dormant thirteenth Angel within the Eva's body awakens taking control of the Eva, trapping its pilot, Toji Suzuhara; the forth child, inside its entry plug. NERV classified the Eva as the thirteenth Angel and engaged it with Unit 01. Although the pilot is fortunate enough to survive Unit 01's attack, Unit 03 is completely dismembered and rendered useless.
Eva Unit 04: Experimental S2
EVA-04's existence is even shorter than that of Unit 03's. Unit 04 is equipped with NERV's experimental S2 engine, which is similar to that of an Angel's. It works by converting matter into energy with no losses. Its initial activation at the second branch of NERV in the Nevada desert, goes horribly wrong. As a result NERV-02 is wiped off the map along with Unit 04, its newly installed experimental S2 engine and thousands of people. An explanation for the vast loss of life is not given. The fact that the instillation just vanished, so maybe the engine's containment degraded, subsequently converting all mass within a set radius into pure energy.
Eva Units 05-13: Next Generation
Not much is known about the other Evas, other than the fact that they were built at seven different locations around the world in a hurry, and that all these Evas include working S2 engines. They are also known to be capable of extremely rapid regeneration much like that displayed with Unit 01. As well as this, Units 05-13 are relentless in their attacks as none are piloted by a human, instead each is piloted by a dummy plug and so morality isn't an issue for them when engaged in combat. Units 05-13 are all flight capable, they are vicious, deadly creatures who wouldn't think twice before tearing apart their prey.
