Absolute Terror Field

Item from Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno / Gainax

A barrier of the soul made visible — every Angel and Eva generates one as a shield, but every living thing with a soul has one too, and its dissolution is the mechanism by which humanity ends.

Also known as: AT Field, A.T. Field, Absolute Terror Field

What They Know

• Energy barrier generated by Angels and Evangelions — normally invisible, octagonal when stressed
• Can only be reliably penetrated by another AT Field or the Spear of Longinus
• Every living being with a soul possesses an AT Field — in humans it's too weak to detect
• In humans, the AT Field maintains individual identity — it bounds the ego and sense of self
• Dissolution of AT Fields causes physical bodies to revert to LCL — the mechanism of Instrumentality
• Some Angels use AT Fields offensively — for flight, satellite destruction, or psychic projection
