Character's Name: Darren Yu Character's Age: 24 Character's Gundam/Mobile Suits: -First: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MSA-0011_S_Gundam]MSA-0011 S Gundam[/url] [quote]The S Gundam was a very heavily armed and armored mobile suit. Constructed from gundarium γ alloy composite, it was able to take a physical pounding that would destroy a lesser mobile suit. The S Gundam was a fourth generation MS developed by Anaheim Electronics following the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam. Although it employs a core block system that shares similar features such as a system that allows independent operation of separated units, its design concept is fundamentally different from the ΖΖ Gundam. The S Gundam was built on a modular design, made up of two separate transformable units that could combine with a core fighter variant called the G Core to create the full S Gundam. The S Gundam was capable of separating into the two high speed fighter craft which could both be controlled by ALICE* if there were no pilots in either of their cockpits. The first fighter craft was called the G Attacker (also referred to as the A Parts), which was made up of the upper torso area of the S Gundam. The second fighter craft was called the G Bomber (also referred to as the B Parts), which were composed of the lower torso and legs of the S Gundam. The G Core core fighter, which were the C Parts of the S Gundam, was flown by Ryou Roots. Like the MSZ-006, the S Gundam was fitted with a pair of generators housed in each of its legs, with an additional pair installed on the shoulders. In regards to offensive capabilities the S Gundam featured a highly accurate beam smart gun with a usual power output of 12MW. The beam smart gun however could connect to two extra power outlets on both left and right hips to supply extra power that increases the beam smart gun up to 56MW. However, this will have to sacrifice the mounting of the two beam guns that are similar to the ones used in the Zeta Plus mobile suit series. The usefulness of the 56MW beam smart gun was doubtful, since the 8.3MW hyper mega launcher of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam from that time could already rip a warship apart. Two beam cannons protruded from the S Gundam's backpack over the shoulders, and it also featured four 60mm vulcan guns in the head, and another four 60mm vulcans in the tail stabilizer. It also mounted a red, circular-shaped wire-guided remote beam weapon called an INCOM** that was stored in the forehead, capable of use by non- Newtypes thanks to the Quasi-psycommu system***. And finally, to round out the S Gundam's weaponry, the unit featured two beam sabers stored in recharge racks in the small white protrusions in the unit's knees. *ALICE, or “Advanced Logistic and Inconsequence Cognizing Equipment”, was an experimental artificial intelligence installed on the MSA-0011 S Gundam. **INCOMs are head-mounted remote weapons designed for use with the quasi-psycommu system and have an output of 3.8 MW. These disc-shaped devices are armed with internal beam guns and controlled via wire cables. Every time an INCOM changes its flight direction, it deploys a tiny relay INCOM to hold the wire in place and maintain its connection to its parent mobile suit. When the pilot recalls the INCOM, it retraces its course as the wire is retracted. ***The Quasi-psycommu system was developed to extend the capabilities of remote control to non-Newtypes. This system can actively scan the pilot's brain waves, no matter how weak they are, and then let the computer translate the thoughts into commands to be issued to remote weapons. Using the quasi-psycommu even non-Newtypes can control simple wire-guided remote weapons, such as INCOMs. INCOMs, unlike funnels or bits, still have to be tethered to their control unit by wires because the electrical signals to the INCOM would be otherwise disrupted by Minovsky Particles.[/quote] -Second: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MSA-0011(Bst)_S_Gundam_Booster_Unit_Type]MSA-0011(Bst) S Gundam Booster Unit Type[/url] [quote]The MSA-0011[Bst] S Gundam Booster Unit Type is a variant of the MSA-0011 S Gundam, replacing the legs with two booster engine packs and mounting another two on its back. The S Gundam Booster Unit Type turned out to be a blazingly fast mobile suit, boasting a max acceleration of 9.72 G, and it featured two extra beam cannons on the large booster units on its backpack. However, with a reduced number of apogee motors and vernier thrusters that are used to control its attitude and maneuver properly, the unit suffered severe drawbacks once it got into close range or had to slow down or stop moving.[/quote] -Third: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MSA-0011(Ext)_Ex-S_Gundam]MSA-0011(Ext) Ex-S Gundam[/url] [quote]The MSA-0011[Ext] Ex-S Gundam (aka Extraordinary-Superior Gundam) is an upgraded version of the MSA-0011 S Gundam, equipped with several new armor, weapons, and engine modules. The Ex-S Gundam has almost double the power of the original S Gundam, making it a fearsome unit indeed. For defensive purposes the Ex-S Gundam featured additional armor on the front of the chest which afforded extra protection for the first two cockpits. This extra chest armor also featured an I-Field generator which created an invisible barrier of Minovsky Particles around the Ex-S Gundam's cockpit block which could nullify ranged beam attacks made against the mobile suit. Additional armor added onto the front of the torso also protected the third cockpit, while extra armor on both sides of the legs featured more afterburners, additional propellant tanks, and thrusters. Two new large thruster units were mounted on the Ex-S Gundam's back, giving the unit incredible thrust power and speed. Two large caliber beam cannons were mounted on both of the thruster units, giving the Ex-S Gundam two more back beam cannons than the S Gundam. The Ex-S Gundam's beam smart rifle was now attached to the front torso of the mobile suit instead of the hips, making room for the two large hip beam cannons that were optional on the S Gundam to be attached to the sides of the Ex-S Gundam's waist permanently. The Ex-S Gundam's head featured four 60mm vulcan guns, while four additional 60mm vulcans were mounted on the tail stabilizer attached to the back. The Ex-S Gundam retained the S Gundam's remote INCOMs, but also featured two reflector INCOMs, stored in brackets in the large knee armor, which could be deployed and guided by wire like a standard INCOM. Reflector INCOMs could not fire their own beams but instead were able to reflect incoming beam fire from the Ex-S Gundam or another unit, and redirect it in another direction through the use of I-Field technology. Lastly, for use in melee combat situations, the Ex-S Gundam featured two beam sabers, also stored in the knee armor. Like its predecessor, the Ex-S Gundam was also capable of undergoing a transformation into a waverider mode of sorts, but unlike the S Gundam, which divided into three separate components, the Ex-S Gundam re-combined into one large unit called the G-Cruiser. For its size, the G-Cruiser was incredibly fast and the Ex-S Gundam would travel in this mode whenever it needed to travel over a great distance in a short amount of time. To conserve the fuel of the Ex-S Gundam for use in actual combat situations the G-Cruiser had two large propellant tanks mounted in the front over the Ex-S Gundam's shoulders. These extra fuel tanks would be jettisoned when the G-Cruiser would reach the battlefield and transform into the Ex-S Gundam.[/quote] Universe your character is from: [i]Gundam Sentinel[/i] - 0088 Universal Century Link: http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gundam_Wiki Appearance: [img=http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120305135241/gundam/images/e/e7/Larry-radley.jpg] Genetic Type: Oldtype Biography: Darren's youth was largely unremarkable, save for the fact his father was called into service by the EFSF during the One Year War. His father, Captain Walter Yu, served to inspire Darren's interest in Mobile Suits and military matters. His mother, however, was particularly protective of Darren, not wanting her only son to take after his old man. Over the course of the war, Captain Yu established a solid reputation for himself, leading his MS team during several important battles, including the attack on the Principality's space fortress A Baoa Qu. Despite his mother's protests, Darren sought to follow in his father's footsteps, and joined the EFF after graduation. Darren proved to be a capable pilot over the course of his training, and it was joked that he inherited his father's ability. After graduating from the academy as 2nd Lieutenant, Darren saw limited action fighting Zeon remnants in space. These clean-up operations were small in scale, but it was enough for a chance to prove he was as good as his father. He was reassigned to Task Force Alpha, of the expeditionary 110th Combat Company. Task Force Alpha was deployed to quell the New Desides, a rebel faction of EFSF officers. To support the operation, the MSA-0011 S Gundam was given to the unit, and assigned as Darren's primary unit. It was his aptitude for controlling a Mobile Suit that contributed to his fortune, and perhaps a little favoritism from his superiors, as the son of an esteemed war hero.
