[u][b]TehChron's Characters[/b][/u] [img]http://i.imgur.com/fBVHGZU.gif[/img] [b]Pre-Smash[/b] Name: Aaron Gentles Gender: Male Age:23 Height: 6'6 Weight: 180 lbs Rank/Title: Guild Tech Special: Freelancing Alignment: Neutral Bio: Aaron Gentles is a gifted Engineer of the Junk Guild, his skills with machines compared to some of the organizations best, even at such a relatively young age. A child of mixed Native American and Caucasian descent, he is one of the few Naturals to have won the genetic lottery, appearances aside. With his own inquisitive mind, stark rejection from his home community, and outright staggering technical ability, Aaron joined the Guild at the age of 17, swiftly winning approval for Guild Tech status. Some time into the First Bloody Valentine War, Aaron's Guild team investigated a battlefield on contract with the Guild's governing body to assist Lowe Guele's team when engaged, along with Mercenary Team Serpant Tail, against Rondo Gina Sahaku. Arriving in the pitch of the battle, several crew members deployed in order to assist in the fighting, however the the power of the three prototype Astray mobile suits present proved too dangerous, and Aaron's comrades were butchered in the crossfire. As the battle ended, Aaron was left alone to salvage the remains of the battle, both in an attempt to lay his team to rest, and also to acquire any useful technology. He succeeded in both respects.

After several months, he was able to work out the mobile suits basic design, as well as repair it's trademark Mirage Colloid System and unique Maga no Ikutachi energy claws. It was at this time, that the engineer discovered that as...interesting as the mobile suits armament under it's previous owner had been, it didn't suit his personal approach to engagement. While the Mirage Colloid was a godsend with it's stealth capabilities, the Guild Tech found that the firepower it could bring to bear was largely useless to him. And so, having stripped down the extraneous weaponry to outfit the [i]Nava-Hoe[/i] with enhanced methods of self-defense (Phase Shift Harpoons always being a nice touch), Aaron found himself looking for what exactly would suit his fighting style best... Weapons: [b]"Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS:[/b] Mounted in the Gold Frame Amatsu's head are two "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. These light projectile weapons are used to intercept missiles and to destroy lightly armored vehicles, although it is classified as Anti Air [b]"Maga no Ikutachi" Energy Absorption Claws:[/b] One of the most unique new weapons of the ReGHOST Gold Frame are its two prototype "Maga no Ikutachi" energy absorption claws, which are mounted on the back of the suit. These "claws" can drain energy from the batteries of enemy mobile suits through the use of colloid technology, weakening them while at the same time recharging Gold Frame Amatsu's own battery. During the design phase, it was meant to be a non-contact weapon that discharged colloid particles to cover the area surrounding the Amatsu and drained enemy units that stepped into this field. This system however prove to be inefficient and is later modified to require physical contact between the claws and the enemy unit. [b]VPS "Tomahawk" Heavy Axe:[/b] A one-off prototype melee weapon, designed as a testbed for ZAFT's Variable Phase Shift technology, a future improvement upon the Phase Shift technology introduced during the war. At the cost of a steady drain on the units power supply (a major reason for why it didn't go into mass production), the Tomahawk would obtain a shifting hardness that would adapt to whatever it was striking against, sharpening and increasing it's durability to better match and thus overpower it's opponent with sheer brute force. [b]Equipment:[/b] [b]Mirage Colloid Stealth System:[/b] This system is inherited from Gold Frame Amatsu and allows the suit to disappear from both visual and sensor detection [b]Enhanced Sensor:[/b] An additional, ZAFT inspired sensor mounted in the head. [b]Phase Shift Armor:[/b] This feature is only limited to the right arm as it originated from Blitz Gundam. [b]Abilities:[/b] Aaron is a prodigy in mechanics, with an intuitive aptitude towards understanding and applying any new information. There have been hints that this applies to more than just mechanics, given the level of automation that allows the [i]Nava-Hoe[/i] to function with a one-man crew. Also decently athletic, if malnourished. [b]Signature Moves:[/b] The ReGHOST drops it's invisibility behind an opponent, before either draining the enemy unit with it's energy claws, or simply cleaving it in two. [b]Canon Character:[/b] [Hider=Spoiler][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/bremics/alisup.jpg[/img][/hider] Name: Ali Al-Saachez Gender: Male Age: 35 (Pre-Slam) Height: 190 centimeters Weight: 81 KG Rank/Title: Mercenary Special: Hard to Kill, Trolling, Expert Mechjacking Skills Alignment: Colossal Dick Bio: A Former Freedom Fighter for the Republic of Krugis, noted warmonger Ali Al-Saachez quit the trade after discovering the unfortunate fact that, while hilarious, sending children to fight gigantic walking machines of death was not an effective battle tactic. Having allowed that mess to clean up after itself handily, Saachez went in search of the next big battle, and joined the PMC Trust, where his skills enabled the organization to remain relevant in the modern era. Was also attached to the French Foreign Legion under the alias Gary Biaggi. Secretly works for "mysterious sponsors" who enabled him to obtain the location of, and ability to hijack, Gundams derived from GN Drive technology. Incredibly skilled in all forms of combat, most especially self-preservation, Saachez is is a shameless and unapologetic warmonger. Also an excellent driver. His drifting skills are worth dying for. Some people already have. [hider=spoiler][img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110211233610/gundam/images/7/7d/ThroneZwei.jpg[/img][/hider] Name: GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei Type: Real Robot Height: 18.6 Meters Weight: 67.1 metric tons strength: 40 armor: 30 firepower: 40 performance: 50 mobility: 40 energy output: 60 sensors: 40 Description: The Throne Zwei has something of a checkered past. Originally created in order to be a cheap knockoff of the Gundams possessing the True GN Drives, Throne Zwei and it's two sister units in Team Trinity went around mucking things up and generally being incompetent in the art of killing, given that each of the pilots had the emotional maturity of a five year old. Seeing this and getting fed up with all the kiddies getting the Good mobile suits, Ali Al Saachez got sick of the unfairness of it all, and asked one Laguna Harvey if he could get in on the GN Drive action. In spite of his blatantly superior abilities, his request was denied, and thus took it upon himself to go and take one for himself. Tracking down the Trinity siblings in an outdated flag, through acts of pure cunning, ruthlessness, and the backing of one Alejandro Corner, Ali Al-Saachez convinced the Trinity's to speak to him face to face. This resulted in the immediate death of Michael Trinity, and the complete emasculation of his brother Johann shortly afterward. Amused, Saachez allowed Johann Trinity to board his Throne Eins before hijacking the dead Michael's Throne Zwei, and swiftly murdering him in Mobile Suit combat. The Throne Zwei has been Ali Al-Saachez's personal Mobile Suit ever since. Equipment: [b]GN Drive Tau[/b]: The technical data of the GN Drives are regarded by Celestial Being as one of their most important and valuable secrets. In order to prevent exploitation, most of its data was kept within Veda at its highest security level and is impossible to directly steal. Regardless, the Corner Family obtained the information through an investigation team from the Corner Family that visited the satellite Europa, which the team found a Haro that contained data of the GN Drives. In the early stages of development, the focus was on complete replication of the original solar furnaces. This was to the point where even the first GNX-603T GN-X series was built with specifications that catered towards their usage. Their efforts on replicating the original GN Drives was eventually abandoned since they were unable to produce the special cores needed and focus shifted to creation of the pseudo solar furnaces instead. GN Drive Taus (or pseudo solar furnaces) are imitations of real GN Drives, and while they are able to perform the same functions as real GN Drives, they are incapable of semi-perpetual energy generation or storage because they lack TD Blankets (the aforementioned special core), a component relevant to GN particle generation and utilization. The GN particle energies that derive from such drives disperse orange-reddish hues. The earlier Tau Drives that appeared in A.D. 2308 produced GN Particles that are optimized for beam weaponry, but produced a toxic form of the particles with high concentrations of it in beam weapons, which were harmful to the human body, such as shown with the cases of Louise Halevy and Lasse Aeon. By 2312, this issue has been resolved and conventional Tau Drive beams are no longer poisonous. GN Drive Taus possess weaknesses that will always make them inferior to their genuine counterparts. Firstly, its particle output rate is less than a GN Drive's, meaning that one-on-one, the performance of a Tau Drive will not be able to keep up with a true GN Drive. Another handicap of the Tau Drives is that they require a special starter machine to charge and "activate" the Drives. The only known exceptions to this are the Gundam Thrones, who possess their own miniature start-up machines. It is unclear at this point whether these miniature start-up mechanisms were ever adapted in future Tau machines post 2308. However, the biggest weakness of the GN Drive Tau is that these drives depend on electrical power to continuously generate GN particles and is not self-sufficient without recharging, meaning that Tau Drives will have a limited operational time compared to true GN Drives and, ironically, technologically-inferior, solar-powered mobile suits, such as the Flag and Enact, which are lower in terms of performance. Because of these shortcomings, any machines powered by these drives will always have limitations against original GN Drives. While original GN Drives are superior due to their perpetual operations, the GN Drive Taus' advantage is that they are very easy to produce. In order to take advantage of this "ease of production" trait, large output mobile armors are installed with multiple Tau Drives. By 2312, the Tau Drives used by the Earth Sphere Federation have been upgraded and improved as such their output performance can rival a 3rd Generation Gundam's GN Drive. However, because the original GN Drives have received further upgrades since then as well, the Tau Drives of 2312 still lag behind the Original GN Drives of the same period in performance. Prior to the latest (2314) Tau Drive mobile suit models, Tau mobile suits like the Ahead are equipped with sub batteries to help supply electrical Driving force (things other than beam weaponry, armor and thrusters). The latest Tau mobile suits are not equipped with a sub-battery due to the increased output of the latest Tau Drives. [b]GN Composite Armor[/b]: A defense mechanism used by GN Particle mobile suits. The GN Composite Armor is a system in which GN Fields are deployed within the small spaces within the armor in order to improve its defense capabilities. [b]GN Handgun[/b]: Used by the GN-002 Gundam Dynames and its successors GN-006 Cherudim Gundam and GN-010 Gundam Zabanya, the GN Pistols are used for short-to-mid range firing. The pistols are weaker than a standard beam rifle but have rapid fire capabilities. Newer generation pistols have secondary functions to double as a hatchet/axe. Unlike Eins and Drei, GN Handgun is attached to the left forearm of Zwei. Under Johann, Zwei rarely uses its GN Handgun as it often deploys its Fangs more often for ranged combat. [b]GN Beam Sabers[/b]: Stored on Zwei's shoulders. As the size of the beam saber used by the Thrones are larger than Exia's, its power increases as well. As of 2307, Beam equipment in the Anno Domini continuity is still in the process of being developed by most military powers as a 2nd generation mobile suit armament. Celestial Being's Gundams are the first series of units to actually employ them on the battlefield. The sabers function by emitting a positron field which holds condensed GN Particles in the form of a blade. When in contact with another surface, the positron field breaks and releases the condensed particles directly onto the contact surface.Though such weapons are more versatile than solid blades, the GN particles composing the blade body may be subject to dispersion and other forms of disruption and grow less effective in different atmospheric environments. The blade sizes of beam sabers are also constant to one size for Celestial Being's units in 2307, however the 2312 saber models possess the ability to vary their beam saber size and shape depending on the needs of the situation, or just the wielder-pilot's preference [b]GN Fangs[/b]: Housed in two GN Fang Pods on Zwei's waist, GN Fangs are a collection of 8 guided weapons that can be used to shoot or pierce its enemies. When deployed, the Fangs would unfold their wings for flight and attack its target(s). Depending on the pilots discretion, the Fangs will proceed to either shoot down or stab through enemy mobile units. Due to their limited GN particle capacity, they need to return to Zwei in order recharge. In addition to being able to generate beam daggers, they also possess the ability to pierce GN Fields [b]GN Buster Sword[/b]: The GN Buster Sword is a large vibrational blade. The sword is attached to the Zwei's right shoulder. The main strength of the GN Buster Sword is impact from the heavy force the sword wields due to its huge size. It is also used as a shield because of its enormous size. It possesses the ability to generate a beam saber at its tip. Abilities: Hard To Kill: Ali Al-Saachez utilizes the survival instincts honed over decades of combat and terrorism to possess a nearly supernatural aptitude for escaping otherwise deadly situations. Terrorist Mastermind: Skilled at brainwashing otherwise vulnerable children into religious fundamentalists, put to good use in creating the KPSA. Mecha-NTR: Can steal other people's machines with relative ease via his superior hand to hand combat skills and pure talent in piloting. Poor bastards are generally left crying afterward, now bereft of their relevance in the wider scope of things.
