History FanFic / AeonEntelechyEvangelion

** Shinji is a [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya sarcastic bastard]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: This Pen-Pen is a Antarctican Urbanised Albino Emperor Penguin, which means that he's descended from the giant albino penguins in ''At the Mountains of Madness'', resident in the Elder Thing city.

* AccidentalHero: Toja became one when he tried to find a missing IllGirl during an evacuation of her school. A whole class of 10-year old girls ended up idolizing him for that.

* IllGirl: Imi, the girl who Toja ran out to try to rescue (and one of his sister's friends), was looking for her medicine. Toja's sister and Rei are also examples, but [[CreepyChild Rei]] is [[EmotionlessGirl Rei]].

* {{Anticlimax}}: The Harbinger-4 [[spoiler:false alarm]] in Chapter 4.
* ArcWords: "''It was time''" and any variation of it.

* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: A definite 2 -- there's plenty of physics-breaking to go around, but it's all explained and internally consistent. Like most good 2s on the scale, it reads as if it were far harder than it actually is.

* RealityEnsues: If one concept defines ''Aeon Entelechy Evangelion'', it's this. Insofar as reality applies in a setting with sorcery and lobotomized god-monsters, it has a tendency to rise from the depths, roaring, and slide its tentacles into any scene from the source material that it can.

* SadistTeacher: Ms. Sweet-Corazon, the physics teacher. Of course, considering [[Discworld/GoingPostal her name]]...

* StateSec: Although cracks do exist, on the whole Earth Scorpion's interpretation of ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'' StateSec in the Core and Vade Mecum basically makes them something that not even [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] will sneak by, and also making it impossible for the Damnation View's [[FanonDiscontinuity "Everything is Falling Apart" scenario]] to happen.

* ViralTransformation: The Leng ecosystem, a combination of [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Zerg Creep]], SidMeiersAlphaCentauri xenofungus, [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries Tiberium]] (of the really bad ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberian Sun]]'' variety) and god knows what else, spreads out in Storm-controlled territory.

* OneWorldOrder: WordOfGod says that the NEG (or at least the Unionist, rather than Federalist parts of it) is trying to systematically, and slowly, lessen the difference between the the former nations that make it up, with the goal of both sanitising the culture of harmful (like, say, Cthulhu-worshipping) influences, and preventing internal division which might weaken it. The NEG has explicitly been called a [[StephenBaxter proto-Interim Coalition of Mankind]], which is to say, like a secular, efficent [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Imperium of Man]].

* LesCollaborateurs: The Migou "cultists", who work for the Migou out of their own will. They're dangerous because, by and large, they're ''not'' cultists in the Lovecraftian sense. They may be fanatically devoted to the Migou, but within that frame of reference, their actions are fully sane.

* AllThereInTheManual: As usual, extra information can be found at the [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=162079 AEE thread 1]] and [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=202110 AEE thread 2]] on Spacebattles.com. ''[[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=521479 A Strangely Eclipsed Aeon]]'', The ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'' mod (well, ''AEE '' mod, see below) for the ''EclipsePhase'' by the author also has some information.

* PostCyberPunk: The [[Main/{{Arcology}} arcologies]], and the New Earth Government in general. Even more so than in ''FanFic/AeonNatumEngel'' with deeper fusion of ''[[Creator/AlastairReynolds Revelation Space]]'' and ''EclipsePhase''.

* ViralTransformation: The Leng ecosystem, a combination of [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Zerg Creep]], SidMeiersAlphaCentauri xenofungus, [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries Tiberium]] (of the really bad ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberium Sun]]'' variety) and god knows what else, spreads out in Storm-controlled territory.

* OurGodsAreGreater: Now renamed to Harbingers, with the term Herald being a supercategory for the former.

* AbandonedPlayground: There is a small patch of grass, with a swing hanging from the tree in the middle of it, in the middle of the abandoned {{arcology}} dome that Rei lives in. Notably, Shinji is GenreSavvy enough that he finds it creepy. Note that [[spoiler:it looks almost exactly the same as Alma's HappyPlace in ''Project Origin'' at Still Island.]] That can't be a coincidence....

!!See ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'', ''VideoGame/{{FEAR}}'', ''RevelationSpace'' and ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' for other tropes which might appear. Specific tropes found in ''Aeon Entelechy Evangelion'':

->''"[[ArcWords It is time]]."''\\
''"Yes. It is time for [[TitleDrop Entelechy]] to begin."''

* ShowWithinAShow: Misato watches a scene from ''[[HammerHorror Doom of the Revenge of the Baroness of the Darkness of the West]]''. Later on, Shinji, Toja and Kensuke see a bad patriotic film depicting the events of the Migou "First Strike" on Antarctica, obviously [[MythologyGag based on]] the similarly overacted "Second Impact" film in the Evangelion series.

Take the CthulhuMythos, as seen through the futuristic, HopelessWar lens of ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech''. Add in the supernatural horror of the ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'' series, as well as various bits and pieces (most of them nasty) from ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' and ''RevelationSpace''. [[FusionFic Now throw them all into a blender]], and [[DarkerAndEdgier use the resulting nightmare of a setting to tell the already dark and apocalyptic story]] of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* AlienGeometries: Everything related to the Harbingers, and especially so now that Mot showed up; think ''[[RebuildOfEvangelion Rebuild]]'' 's version of Ramiel, only as a multi-dimensional combined fractal/polyhedron. Aeon War Syndrome, where the mind breaks trying to comprehend the seemingly impossible geometries, is a constant threat.

* AlternateHistory: At the start of Chapter 1, there is an excerpt from ''[[Creator/HPLovecraft The Shadow Out of Time]]'', which makes it clear that both the Elder Thing city in Antarctica and the Yithian city in Australia were historically discovered in the 1930s, putting the point of divergence quite a bit before now.
** WordOfGod states that the discovery of the Elder Thing City shifted American interests out of isolationism; thus, the USA joined the League of Nations. Also, due to various political and military circumstances, the USA-Japanese war is considered almost completely separate from Europe's World War II; thus, the USA did not fight against Hitler until late 1942. This allowed him to use more resources against the USSR, prolonging the war to 1946, and Western allies nuked Berlin to prevent the Soviets from capturing it, thus making the foundations for two completly separate cities, Westberlin and Ostberlin.

* AlternateUniverseFic: AEE is one to ''Evangelion'' and ''FEAR'', while ''Cthulhu Tech'' gets the dubious honor of having everything be a point-of-divergence right after ''Vade Mecum'' because ES had declared everything post-''Vade Mecum'' [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4415150&postcount=661 unsourcebooks]].

* BeamSpam: Mot is apparently only capable of firing one beam from each face of its [[SinisterGeometry trapezoid form.]] But when it takes an almost gratuitous amount of abuse from the NEG, its response is to [[spoiler:reshape itself into literally thousands of smaller trapezoids orbiting around each other - and each of ''them'' can fire a beam from their face.]] The resulting barrage of beams levels entire ''mountains''.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The NEG and the Ashcroft Foundation do some pretty not-nice things in the name of survival (and that's even before we get into the ''Evangelion'' and ''FEAR'' bits), such as weapons that kill souls, or make destructive neural maps of living people.

* BrainUploading: WordOfGod says that Elite Loyalist Nazzadi (and probably the Migou themselves) got ''EclipsePhase''-style backups.

* BritainIsOnlyLondon: Most of England turned into one big city before the [[Main/{{Arcology}} Arcologies]] were created. The Evangelion Project moved to London-2 after the Rapine Storm conquered China and got uncomfortably close to Japan.

** Gendo has one. In fact, he practices sorcery in a tower, which looks over a city, which is in a hidden cavern underneath another city composed largely of [[PyramidPower pyramidal]] [[Main/{{Arcology}} arcologies]]. That man has serious style.

* FusionFic: In addition to merging ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'' and ''VideoGame/{{FEAR}}'', the ''RevelationSpace'' and ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' stuff that started to appear heavily in later parts of ''ANE'' are now featured more prominently.

** Tsuchigumos are Lovecraftian, lobotomized [[GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Tachikomas]]. One of the pilots of these things acted like a Tachikoma for good measure.

* ViralTransformation: The Leng ecosystem, a combination of [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Zerg Creep]], SidMeiersAlphaCentauri xenofungus, [[CommandAndConquer Tiberium]] (of the really bad ''Tiberium Sun'' variety) and god knows what else, spreads out in Storm-controlled territory.

* ChestBlaster: An improvised one, [[spoiler:with the magically enhanced nuclear warhead placed inside a hole made by Mot in Unit-01's chest, just meters away from the Entry Plug. Spatial-distortion magic is used to ensure that the blast travels in a straight line as opposed to the [[TheDeadliestMushroom normal behaviour of nuclear detonations]].]].

** I believe the above statement has reversed the actual intent of the quote... Humans design ''machines'' that look organic, Migou design ''organic systems'' that look mechanical.
