Geocache Description:

In inspiration of the FMA: Homunculus Series. I’ve made a series of caches to be based off the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Angels. In the NGE there are 18 Angels and 2 organization called NERV and Seele. For this series of caches I will be placing 2 puzzles caches and 18 Traditional caches with some clues to the 2 puzzles caches, but not all 18 have clues in them. BYOP

The UN Special Agency Nerv (German: nerve) is an organization led by Gendo Ikari and tasked with defending Earth against the Angels through use of the Evangelion units. It was formerly known as Gehirn, a UN Research Agency. It was reorganized into Nerv once Nerv HQ and Tokyo-3 became fully operational. There are several global branches of Nerv besides the main headquarters under Tokyo-3 itself.

The Nerv Logo is half a fig leaf covering its name, with the motto "God's In His Heaven... All's Right With The World" forming the quarter circle on the bottom. The motto comes from Robert Browning's poem "Pippa Passes".

In Genesis 3:7, Adam and Eve cover their "nakedness" with fig leaves. The fig leaf has covered nakedness in art and sculpture for hundreds of years, symbolically representing the guilt of original sin.

In the new Rebuild of Evangelion movie series, Nerv has a new symbol, an apple turned upside-down, with the fig-leaf from the old logo superimposed and interrupted by a wave of motion around the apple in a broken, downwards spiral motion. The original logo still appears in some scenes, however. NERV is also bound by the Vatican City treaty, which restricts the number of operational Evangelions a single country can control at any one time.
