Atalibu

Character

Atalibu stalks the tabletop game Decisive Battle in Tokyo-3 as one of the Angels invented for the Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG line. Long clawed arms, a lone eye above the chest, and an unguarded core mark its lopsided body, and it chills the battlefield by pushing its A.T. Field outward to freeze the surrounding air.

Appearance

Nothing about Atalibu's outline looks quite human, though its general arrangement gestures at a humanoid form. The ribcage area narrows to an almost skeletal thinness while the hips spread remarkably wide. A single eye, its only one, sits above the chest. Both arms run long and finish in enormous razor-edged claws, and the legs carry heavy thighs that taper down into spindly shins. At the solar plexus the core sits out in the open, entirely unprotected.

Personality

No inner life exists for Atalibu on the page; the RPG frames it strictly as an encounter for players to survive. Whatever menace the Angel carries comes from its unsettling anatomy and battlefield behavior rather than from any written motive, voice, or goal.

Abilities

Atalibu's signature trick turns defense into offense: it swells its A.T. Field well beyond its body, and within that expanded zone it rewrites how the surrounding environment behaves, wrapping itself in a shroud of freezing air. The oversized claws handle anything that survives the cold and closes the distance.
