You know, as I have neither played In Nomine nor read the sourcebook, I have absolutely no idea what's going on. (That I have never been able to "get into" RPGs is another matter entirely). If you could go further in what you mean by "In Nomine" flavor and by "Vessel", that'd be great.

For In Nomine flavor, I suggest you read Neon Exodus Evangelion (on Eyrie) as that's where Gryph & co drew their cosmology. Quick summary is that Angels and Demons have been manifesting discreetly on Earth to fight their War ever since the fall. There's quite a bit of information on the net (do a google for 'Nomine Collection')
Vessel is what celestial creatures (angels/demons) use on earth since their own bodies are a little noticeable. Usually handed out by Archangels or Demon Princes and most celestials seem to use them like cars i.e. some bash 'em around with little or no consideration, some get bent out of shape and the slightest scratch, some have large collections maintained in pristine condition... and for most they are just a means of getting around. Vessels are outwardly normal bodies (not always human).
[Okay. Funny analogy. Heh. I can just see some angels saying, "See this? This is '72 Male Jesus Freak. It took me *hours* getting the detailing right."
Anyway . . . urm . . . in regards to Eva and In Nomine, I guess . . . gonna have to see some of the execution, though I kind of hope that the "flavor" doesn't overpower the source material.
Oh, and I know that I should probably do this on the other thread, but I really, really doubt that Misato would come onto Doug. Really, really doubt. She may be somewhat flirty, but only in "good" fun. Doug simply isn't her "type," i.e. "like her father."]
