* ConversationalTroping: Characters use terms like YouFailBiologyForever, BadassNormal, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Authority (Not Necessarily) Equaling Asskicking]], or ImpossiblyCoolClothes in what are admitted shout-outs to TVTropes. Also, see CrazyPrepared and CursedWithAwesome below.

** [=BPen=] also qualifies, thanks to his use of tropes. Also, in his notes from one chapter, he thanked TVTropes for giving him some ideas and helping him write the story more believably.

** Not to mention all the {{Shout Out}}s to TVTropes.

Shinji Ikari, ''Evangelion'''s resident ButtMonkey, discovers a case full of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' miniatures and rulebooks at a very young age, with a ''profound'' effect on his personality, character, and relationship with his guardians. He somehow [[TookALevelInBadass becomes 20 times more badass than his canon counterpart]] as a result, becoming an [[BadassBookworm efficiently intellectual]] [[MagnificentBastard power-player]] who knows no fear, charges headlong into combat without hesitation, exhibits nearly prescient planning abilities, and earns the reverence and adoration of his people for his heroism.

Though the fic's title is simply ''Shinji and Warhammer [=40K=]'', there are numerous other influences at work. The story loosely follows ''Evangelion'''s established sequence of major events, but anything else that's strictly canon is pretty much kicked to the curb around the end of chapter nineteen. Shinji himself evolves into some amalgamation of ''[[Franchise/{{Dune}} Paul Atreides]]'', ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'', ''[[Franchise/MetalGear Big Boss]]'', ''Literature/CiaphasCain'', ''[[Literature/{{Discworld}} Carrot Ironfoundersson]]'', ''[[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji Kabuto]]'', ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Ryoma Nagare]]'', ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Rei]]'', ''[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon The Digger]]'', ''[[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch vi Britannia]]'', ''[[Literature/EndersGame Ender Wiggin]]'', and unless he's careful, The [[GodEmperor God-Emperor of Mankind]].

The story oscillates between pitched battles that manage to top the fight scenes from ''Eva'' and domestic comedy worthy of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', the mood between the bleak despair resulting when you add GrimDark to ''Evangelion'' and HotBlooded defiance in the face of imminent defeat. Cast members are developed in interesting ways but not to the point of being warped beyond recognition, while the realities of Second Impact and the implications of such an event are explored to a greater extent than the source material. The author has managed to write an ''Eva'' 'fic that replaces the original series' {{Wangst}} and [[ContemplateOurNavels navel contemplation]] with SerialEscalation, the RuleOfCool, and [[ChainsawGood chainswords]], understanding and respecting the source material but doing something completely different with it. The result is something that both ''Eva'' and ''[=40K=]''s fanbases can enjoy, while acting as a bridge between them and a gateway beyond. The author has also acknowledged TVTropes as an aid to the fic. Be aware, though: ChekhovsArmoury is ''very much'' in effect, and continuity can be tricky to follow as a result.

* AlternateUniverse: [[spoiler:Gendo]] is a slider stuck in a StableTimeLoop trying to reunite with [[spoiler:Yui -- but not ''this'' universe's Yui.]] Gah, MindScrew.

* NoRangeLikePointBlankRange: As he was fighting [[{{Robeast}} Samshel]], [[TakeALevelInBadass Shinji]] picked a rocket launcher and shot it point blank to make sure he would not miss.

* NoSeatBelts: Observed by Shinji in chapter 2 when he gets flattened by Sachiel.

* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon As he was fighting [[{{Robeast}} Samshel]], [[TakeALevelInBadass Shinji]] picked a rocket launcher and shot it point blank. Justified, since Shinji wanted to make sure he could not miss, even if it meant to take a risk and get close.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Said verbatim by Maya in Chapter 15, to [[spoiler:Rei]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Besides his prologue power-up, Shinji eventually travels to [[TheShangriLa Javaal]] to better understand his abilities, returning with the power to [[spoiler:reduce an Angelspawn to vapor with a glance]]. Additionally, the secondary characters get their own upgrades: Toji, Hikari, Maya, Makoto, Mana, Kensuke... yes, '' Kensuke.'' Chapter 34 even has a [[spoiler:{{BigDamn|Heroes}} [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Penguin]]]] moment. On the other side, several of the Angels are '''much''' more dangerous than their original versions, to the point where Matariel terrorizes Tokyo-3 with Angel-spawn and Sahaquiel trades its ''kamikaze'' attack for bombing '''THE WHOLE WORLD'''.
::Ironically, this is the one trope Bpen was deliberately trying to ''avert'' at first; his author's notes claim that Shinji just needs a better childhood to become awesome, but Shinji's "better childhood" also came with his own gang, {{Chessmaster}} training at the feet of an Eldar Farseer, the universal respect and adoration of his entire hometown, and the ability to call in favors and financial support from wealthy friends. Badass as all hell? Definitely. OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent? Not even close. [[RuleOfCool Not that it matters in the long run.]]

So bye bye, realistic Shinji.

* {{Badass}}: [[WorldOfBadass The entire notion of the story]]. More specifically, [[CaptainObvious Shinji Ikari]].

* GrewASpine: Possibly The Most Triumphant Example in Evangelion fanfiction, this fic is the tale of a wuss becoming God Emperor of Humankind. At the start of the story Shinji is his wimpy canon self, but after finding a suitcase full with ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' figurines and books he gradually grows a gigantic spine, becoming an utterly fearless {{Badass}} that earns the reverence of his people for his heroism and the love of women for his gentleness.
