3	''Ayanami: Vengeance'' is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' AlternateUniverseFic by [=GasmaskAvenger=], first conceived in mid 2009 and started in January 2010.

5	Like ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', AV presents a world where Yui Ikari wasn't absorbed into Unit 01 during the contact experiment. Unlike ''Nobody Dies'', Kyoko remains dead, Gendo is a less of a ManipulativeBastard and more on the lines of a BumblingDad (with some shady skeletons in the closet) and most importantly...Shinji Ikari is not the lead protagonist.

7	The main character is Rei Ayanami, who unlike many other incarnations, is actually a (mostly) well-adjusted 13 (later 14) year old girl who aspires to form a heavy metal band and simply go on through life without much trouble.

11	----
12	!!This fic contains examples of the following:
13
14	%% * ActionGirl: All of the female EVA/Mech pilots, especially Rei.
15	%% * ArtificialLimbs: Keel's spine and Naomi Mifune's right hand.
16	* AscendedExtra: A good majority of the various EVA characters receive this ranging from CanonImmigrant Mari Makinami (who's Rei's [[IAmVeryBritish extremely British]] best friend) to Aoba, the not-so-nihilistic metal guitarist [[BridgeBunnies bridge bunny]] who Rei befriends and forms a band with. The biggest examples are Rei, who's the main character of the story, Shiro Tokita (who's an old friend of Kaji, Misato and Ritsuko from High School and later joins Nerv) and especially Maya Ibuki, who's...kind of a weirdo this time around.
17	%% * BigBad: [[spoiler:The Dark One.]]
18	* CanonImmigrant: Mari Makinami from the Rebuild films, [[spoiler::Mana Kirshima from Girlfriend of Steel/SIRP]], [[spoiler:Mayumi Yamagish from 2nd Impression]], the angels and mechs from the various EVA spinoffs and Rebuild, [[spoiler: DJ Croft from Neon Exodus Evangelion]], [[spoiler:Maria Vincennes and Commander Nicholaiev from the EVA Paper RPG]]
19	* DemotedToExtra: Shinji Ikari, who's now a secondary character/love interest to Rei, Misato Katsuragi (due to her being not all that a big part of Rei's life outside of ordering her commands during a mission) and especially Fuyutsuki. Unit 01 gets this too due to certain "reasons".
20	%% * EarlyBirdCameo: Keel and another member of SEELE in the Prologue. Kaworu in Chapter 32.
21	%% * EvilCripple: Keel Lorenz. Kaworu could possible be this too once he becomes more prominent.
22	* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod Word of God]] says that The Burnt Lady Down the Street is essentially the lead character from a horror script he's been working on.
23	%% * {{Gorn}}: Lots and lots of it
24	%% * TheIlluminati: SEELE
25	%% * TheMenInBlack: Agent Will and Agent Smith.
26	%% * NightmareFace: The Burnt Lady Down the Street, Nightmare Rei from Chapter 8 and some of the angels.
27	* OriginalCharacter: Naomi Mifune, [=DesuLoli=], Rei's parents, the Burnt Lady Down the Street and Misaki Baisotei. Argo and Claire Phoenix are not only OCs, but also canon immigrants due to them being the creations of another author associated with Gasmask.
