| abstract | - Take the Cthulhu Mythos, as seen through the futuristic, Hopeless War lens of Cthulhu Tech. Add in the supernatural horror of the First Encounter Assault Recon series, as well as various bits and pieces (most of them nasty) from Eclipse Phase and Revelation Space. Now throw them all into a blender, and use the resulting nightmare of a setting to tell the already dark and apocalyptic story of Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is Aeon Entelechy Evangelion. And odds are, it's not going to end well. Twenty Minutes Into the Future, mankind stumbles across knowledge of the Mythos, as the flaws in the old scientific models become evident. The scientific method is promptly applied, and things turn out pretty well, with sorcery-as-a-science and reactionless engines transforming all aspects of our culture. Sounds nice? It Got Worse. It is now 2091. Space is controlled by the Migou, who are trying to stomp mankind back into the Stone Age without waking up anything else that lives on Earth. The Esoteric Order of Dagon are trying to wake Cthulhu. A large percentage of Asia has become weirdly merged with Leng, where the Dead God, Hastur, resides, and there is a subtle war going between two sides of Humanoid Abominations and one side of Complete Monsters inside the territory controlled by the New Earth Government. But, don't worry! Gendo Ikari, a senior figure in the Ashcroft Foundation (the world's largest Mega Corp) will save us from the monstrous, god-like threats called Harbingers (named after Canaanite deities) which are attacking on top of all of this. Apparently, he has some kind of secret weapon. This can only have a happy ending. Aeon Entelechy Evangelion is a 2nd edition/sequel/rewrite of Earth Scorpion's Aeon Natum Engel because ES ran out of ink... er, felt dissatisfied with the inconsistencies between the earlier and later chapters. As of February 23, 2012, a prologue and eighteen chapters have been published, currently in Book II. Naturally, so far it has turned out just as terrifying as Aeon Natum Engel. It has a Character Page that currently lists the differences between Canon EVA and AEE characters. It also has a Shout Out page.
