Personality: Handsome, Charismatic, and Compulsive he has a certain flair for life and is quick to adapt to everything. In a sense, he has not fully grown up yet. Couple his impulsive behavior with his immaturity, and it sometimes is easy to think that Shin isn't very intelligent. His superiors constantly tell him so, but he knows more than he lets on. He has an incredible interpersonal and spacial intelligence, and he is actually a fairly smart person. The fact that he is still not very mature makes his purity at heart that much more believable, and the fact that he doesn't share all his knowledge just makes him more mysterious, in an endearing sort of way.

Race/ethnicity: Japanese/American

Physical abilities/limitations: Shin is one of the few pilots in the U.N. Forces whose body can go longer and harder when going above and beyond Mach Speed. His piloting skill are identical to his personality, carefree, yet unparalleled. Making up for his deep lack respect, and cavalier attitude, his piloting skills shot straight through the roof. In the cockpit, Shin is the non pareil. His brain and reflexes prove to be faster than the new computers installed in the most current jet fighters. And he always has lady luck on his side, no matter how imprudent he becomes, or how much he stops caring, the cards always fall his way in the end.

Background: Born in the United States, Shin was sent to an orphanage at a very young age due to his parents being killed in the War. His reckless actions and love for fighting got him in trouble early and as he grew older he found out that his parents had been with the U.N. Forces and decided to Join the Air Force where he was promptly named one of the top rookies. From then on he earned a high kill ratio and was chosen to be a test pilot for some of the U.N.'s Top Rookies.

6 Years Later...
During a 'Worst-Case' Scenario battle 3 years ago, 12 U.N. Fighters where overwhelmed by three dozen enemy aircraft over the Pacific. With ally forces declining, Captain Dyson suffered an attack causing the loss of one of his engines. Despite orders to pull-out, Captain Dyson continued to fight and took out 13 enemy aircraft before one of the gas mains caught flame and blew up the aircraft 1000m above sea level. With no remains.
Because of his refusal to obey orders, Kudo was stripped of his rank of Captain. But due to his heroics, he was discharged without disgrace and buried with full ceremony.

[Sakurazaki]

Given Name: Arias Sakurazaki

Nickname(s):Rei Sakurazaki-name change

Appearance:
- Gender:Female
- Age: 21
- Looks: 18
- Height: 5 feet 6 inches
- Weight: 130 pounds
- Hair: long, straight White hair that goes down to her shoulders which is sometimes seen in a ponytail
- Eyes: Red eyes
- Physical Features: Average, but well toned body
- Clothing: Tomboyish, loose black jacket with no sleeves, black tanktop, black pants with numerous pockets, standard issue military boots, and a silver earring on her right ear.

PersonalityShe is very arrogant, serious, and proud. Her sarcasm sometimes annoys people. However she is very fragile and is afraid of disgracing her father's memory. Thus she often looks down on others and strives to become the best pilot there ever was. She is very protective of her Akatsuki, which was a gift from Cagalli.

Race/ethnicity: Japanese

Physical abilities/limitations: She has no sight in her right eye, as she was born that way, but her hearing is very good. She is very smart and agile, ranking top in her squadron in every subject from weaponry to maneuverability. There is very little that she cannot do, thus she can go into "seed mode" if in great danger. The thing that hinders her would be the expectations of her family to succeed, which often leads to low self-esteem at times.

Background: She was born as a Coordinator in the Orb territory. Daughter of a commander in the Orb forces who died shortly before the Zaft fell. Her mother is a scientist, who researches other ways to improve the technology of the gundams. However, she wasn't around too often, thus leaving Arias in the care of her father's officer friends who taught and trained her to be a military officer. She entered the military at the age of 14 after passing a series of tests with perfect scores. Arias (from now on referred to as Rei) changed her name to Rei after several members of her squadron referred to her as a very "cold and heartless" person. She is a talented singer/guitar player, but will never admit it.

After the Akatsuki incident. She continued to train for a year, eventually getting to Captain status and is eventually given charge of the Amatsu Elite Core. She still favors the Akatsuki, but keeps a special made Masurame unit on standby.

6 Years after....
Rei has left the military to be a mercenary for hire, after Shin's death. The golden Akatsuki still used as her primary mech. The Coordinator experiment that was performed when she was just a child has shown signs of a mutation, as she will not age...

[Tyki Mikk]

Mind you, I'm not a complete copy of Duo, but since this is a character right out of my fanfic, there are very big similarities. Remember, personality-wise, he's quite different.
Given Name: Duo Maxwell

Nickname(s): The Black Angel

Appearance:
-Gender: Male
-Age: 19 (26 after timeskip)
-Height: 6'1" (6'3" after timeskip)
-Weight: 145 lbs. (158 lbs. after timeskip)
-Hair color/style: Chesnut brown/ worn with a long braid in back and bangs up front
-Eye Color: Cobalt Bluish-Violet eyes
-Physical Features: Well-toned body. A bit skinny in some areas though.
-Clothing style: Red-zippered turtleneck underneath a leather motorcycle jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Black pants to match. After the timeskip, Duo now wears a black Neo Zeon officer uniform, much like Gyunei Guss.


Personality: Good-looking, but prefers to keep to himself due to his profession. Enjoys action and detests pointless battles. Somewhat impulsive, he seems to get himself in and out of trouble faster than he realizes it. And he usually never realizes what he's done. While easily excitable, Duo is a clever tactician, and prefers to let the hot bloodedness speed up his movements. Outside of battle, he does put on a cheery, relaxed, and overall optimistic facade, but holds multiple scars of his work. Due to his spatial awareness which allows him to control his custom machine's remote weapons flawlessly, Duo is far more aware of the emotions surrounding him, but has learned to ignore them to make sure he survives. And deep inside Duo, there lurks another deeply embedded personality to can only rise to the surface in bouts of extreme pressure. After 6 years in intense conflict, Duo has become more subdued and experienced on the battlefield. His newfound responsibility in leading his own unit has made him wary of his old strategies surfacing, with more concern put towards the safety of his team; for whom Duo will fight and gladly sacrifice himself for.

Race/Ethnicity: White/ American

Physical Abilities/Limitations: Duo's piloting abilities are specialized by his preference for close, high-speed combat. Able to manuver his specialized Tartarus so easily has taken Duo many years of custom tuning to manage, and the machine now practically only obeys his style of movements. Duo also has the trait of being particularly spatially aware. Such a trait allows him to use his DRAGOON remote weapon system with a great deal of potential. Duo's main limitations however are that he can get decidedly overexcited by his battles; often losing himself to a fierce desire to destroy his opponent. And such a desire makes him sloppy in his attacks, even though they come at an even greater speed and level of ferosity. After the timeskip, Duo has become far more efficient with funnel use, and undergone some cyber-newtype enhancement, but was deemed to be far too above-average in spatial awareness to require much enhancement.

Background: Born into a wealty family for his early life, Duo soon found himself an orphan after the assassination of his parents by the early founders of the Titans. Finding himself alone and having to fend for himself, Duo eventually found himself be assimilated into a local mercenary group who took him under their wing. Training with them, and building his skills by going on missions, Duo gained a new outlook on the world as he viewed the cold realities of warfare. At the age of 15, Duo left his adoptive family and left to form his own mercenary group. On his journey thorugh the Sierra Nevada, Duo discovered the remains of a mysterious mobile suit. To test his survival skills, (Duo has strange tests for himself) Duo spent almost two years commuting to the nearest towns to rebuild the mobile suit to normal functions. Finding it was already equipped well, Duo named it the Tartarus Gundam after reading the start-up system message on the main monitor. At age 17, Duo started a mercenary group known as Shadow Blitz and gained two members. But at age 18, after one member had been killed in battle, and the other gone missing, Duo moved on to becoming a solo veteran mercenary for hire.
*At age 20, Duo joined the Neo Zeon group after being saved its leader, Haman Karn near the moon. Rising through the ranks, Duo descended to Earth, and after spending time negotiating with ORB, participated in the campaign against the Titan base at Kilimanjaro. Failing to kill Jamitov, Duo moved with the Neo Zeon and ZAFT forces to strike the nearby Victoria Earth Alliance base. After helping to protect the emisarry between the AEUG and Neo Zeon: Char Aznable at Dakar, Duo returned to space. Given his own unit and a specialized Sadalahn-class battleship: Genesis. The final battle of the Gryps War saw Duo kill his own comrade, Jerid Messa in a fierce battle, where Duo was finally able to use his repaired Tartarus Gundam. The first Neo Zeon war progressed with Duo encountering very little AEUG opposition, but he did fight against Judau Ashta on two occasions: the first where Duo humbled the overconfident Judau easily; and the second where Duo found himself at Judau's mercy thanks to a newfound resolve for the future. All along the way, Duo began to have a romance with his combat coordinator: Lilia Flaubert, who he had first met at Kilimanjaro. His feelings for Lilia slowly have been subduing his infatuation with Haman, the one he felt he owed his life to. At the end of the first Neo Zeon war, Duo managed to defeat Rakan Dahkaran and his Doben Wolf, before being defeated by Judau. Damaged, Duo recieved the advice and help of an old ally turned enemy turned ally again: Char Aznable, in saving Haman from a critical blow from Judau. Rescuing her from the cockpit itself, Duo and Char escaped to the Genesis and left the battlefield. And for the past 5 years, Duo has helped Char build his own Neo Zeon from the colony of Sweetwater; protecting the now-emotionally-frail Haman.*

-----------------------------------
Name: Lilia Flauberl

Appearance: Female
Age: 23 during 2nd Neo Zeon War
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 155 lbs.
Hair Color/Style: Whitish-Blond, medium-short, with uneven ends; two antenna on either side of forehead, hanging downward; bangs over much of forehead.
Eye-color: dark blue
Physical Features: Very petite, and slim; fragile girl
Clothing: Purple Neo Zeon uniform.

Personality: A woman who sticks to those she involved with. Lilia is one who loves to admire others, and dedicate herself in their support. She's very deeply in love with Duo, but sometimes won't show it directly; instead, taking an indirect route. Trustworthy in and out of battle, she tends to disobey orders from Duo if she becomes overly worried about him. If he were not around, Lilia believes her old, introverted self will reemerge.

Background: Her father died when she was only 10, back in the One Year War. Her mother, fearing the Federation force's takeover of Side 3, fled the side, but their shuttle became the subject of a Federation test practice. Saved by fleeing Zeon soldiers, Lilia and her mother traveled with them to Axis, where she lived her life peacefully, but always dreaming of joining the growing cause of the Zeon people. She finally had her chance, when Axis returned to the Earth Sphere, when she turned 18. Joining the military, she was assigned to the Melord for the Kilimanjaro operation, as combat operator. And at that battle, she first met the man she would soon fall in love with. Their contact on the Melord was limited, and Duo left on independent missions to Dakar and then to space. Shortly before the Colony Laser Battle, Lilia returned to the Axis home base, where she would soon be assigned to Duo's brand new unit. Serving alongside him, for as far as they knew, indefinitely, Lilia grew closer and closer to her new commander. And during their campaign on Earth, Duo declared his love for her, which she accepted happily. Worried, but complying with Duo's orders later at the final battle of the 1st Neo Zeon war, Lilia escaped to the Genesis, and left the battlefield. But with the return of Duo and Haman, Lilia's fears were allieved. Now, four years later, Lilia still stands beside Duo, as he searches for the answer to the wars plaguing the Earth Sphere.

[Allen Walker]

Given Name: Ryouba Hiryuu

Nickname(s): The Flame Dragon, The Crimson Flame

Appearance:
- gender: Male
- age: 19
- height: 5'10
- hair color: Black
- eye color: brown
- physical features: Somewhat lean body
- clothing style: a plain red short-sleeve t-shirt and blue jeans under an unzipped black zip-up hooded sweatshirt. He occasionally trades the sweatshirt for a standard-issue white lab coat, and wears a red pilot suit when in his MS. Regularly carries a Shirasaya-style wakizashi under his sweatshirt/coat or on the belt of his pilot suit.

Race/ethnicity:Japanese/Former Spacenoid

Personality: A seemingly carefree lazy person with a habit of applying heavy sarcasm, this attitude is meant to throw people off of his analytical mind. His favored hobby is working on various new mechanical designs, even if he will never be able to implement them, and he has an odd habit of leaving projects unfinished for extended amounts of time before randomly going back to them on a whim...he's the sort of person who sets his mind one something and is guaranteed to do it... even if it takes him a few years and some other side projects first. His longest-running project is that of his main mobile suit, Gundam Kurenaien. His pride and joy built entirely from the ground up, one of his goals is to create at least 24 variations of it, one for each letter of the Greek alphabet. He's willing to fight when he has too, but tries to avoid killing as much as possible.

Physical abilities/limitations:Possesses superb reflexes and mental capabilities thanks in part to his newtype genetics... though sometimes, his mind outruns his physical abilities. As a way of attempting to bridge this gap, Ryouba regularly practices various kendo styles... with varied results. He specializes in stealth and close combat, though he is more than willing to perform in other ways on the battlefield if the need arises. One of his greatest talents on the battlefield is his ability to precisely target and destroy only certain parts on an enemy MS in order to preserve the parts that he wishes to salvage. Ryouba's maximum speed limit is mach 2, and he also has a tendency to loose track of multiple targets while calculating his next moves, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from multiple opponents and opponents equipped with "all range" weapons such as DRAGOONs, Funnels, and Bits. He is somewhat capable of using these weapons himself, however, though they aren't his specialty.

Background: Originally a colonist (traditional UC colony, not PLANT), he became disgusted with both the Federation and ZAFT after witnessing Bloody Valentine and the many damages that the April Fool's Crisis caused to civilians. After a short personal debate, he decided to join the Junk Guild when he was 14, shortly after he was proven as a newtype by the tests that the Titans forced every citizen on colonies they controlled to take. While Ryouba considered joining the AEUG, he later changed his mind as they were just as likely to try use him, and the Junk Guild would be able to provide him with better connections. Once in the junk guild, Ryouba became a sort of mercenary... Specifically, he became a freelance mech designer and builder, gathering junk to build his own custom designs and selling to the highest bidder... or accepting high cash commissions to build one on request. The "Death bullet" Saito Yukuhiro, for example, still owes Ryouba a hefty fine for the "Gundam Treasoner" he created for him. Ryouba has gained some fame as the "Flame Dragon", a fierce mercenary and a precision fighter that always takes down his target... and has also taken fire from the Junk Guild because of this reputation countering the junk guild's "defensive fighting only" rule. In reality, his mercenary career and fame as a pinpoint accurate fighter is the result of his habit of entering battles in hopes of finding a mech to destroy and savage parts from, and as such he perfected his pinpoint accuracy to preserve the parts he intended on salvaging and to avoid hitting the enemy's cockpit and/or reactor. Currently, he is somewhere on Earth, traveling in his modified Gaw transport with his current half-built mechs and his Kurenaien, searching for parts leftover from the war.

Personality: As outgoing as can one can get, Sai will always strive to be the life of the party. He loves to pick fights with his friends to prove he can do better. Despite his outgoing exterior, Sai can be a very serious person when it comes to a mission of any kind. He often takes random jobs from people to earn some money, not even bothering to care what he's doing.

Race/ethnicity: Japanese/American

Physical abilities/limitations: Saito has the ability to sense "auras" of people. Most of the time his mind is at ease unless an aura with killing intent is around. Saito can take physical pain easily, but his mind stresses while under pressure causing him to lose control. During battle Saito can sense those with the greatest killing intent that aren't from his own group and will usually go after them first.

Background: Sai was involved in an accident causing him to lose a few memories. After a harsh battle his mech was sent to the bottom of the sea, when rescued he was left in a coma. He woke up 2 years after the incident. His family is unknown to him or anyone else, but he has recieved several threat letters from a person claiming to be his older brother.
