Matariel
The Nineth Angel - Of Rain

This entity bears the name of the Angel of Rain. Matariel is also reputed to be one of the "rulers of the world" a title commonly attributed to Satan.

Matariel is possibly one of the weakest Angels to attack Tokyo-3, and also the first Angel to be attacked by Units 00, 01 and 02 simultaneously. Matariel has only one means of attack being that of projecting extremely corrosive acid towards it's opponents, however, this form of attack is slow and coupled with the Angel's limited agility makes for a pretty ineffective weapon. Matariel also possesses an extremely weak AT field which is not even capable of standing up to a short volley of fire from an Eva's standard issue rifle. These weaknesses serve only to hamper Matariel in combat and so the Angel relies chronically on its ability to stealthily approach opponents unnoticed, thus gaining the element of surprise giving the Angel the upper hand in combat.

NOTES ABOUT MATARIEL'S OPERATION

A.T. (ABSOLUTE TERROR) FIELD: The main defensive function on nearly every Angel. Matariel has a weak A.T. Field, able to deflect any attack equal to or under 100 M.D. (any attack over that does full damage). However it is known, that one A.T. Field can be neutralized, by creating another within a 10m distance, which overlaps and obliterates the phase space, rendering both fields inoperable.

BIO-REGENERATION: Matariel can regenerate 1d4x10 M.D. to all locations every hour

ENTERING COMBAT: Matariel is a sneaky bastard, it likes to approach it's targets when they're at they're weakest. It doesn't show up on radar so it's presence can only be confirmed visually. Matariel has a 75% prowl skill and almost always initiates combat with a sneak attack.

• +1 to roll with punch, fall, or impact (explosion) reducing damage by half.
