My leading man for now. More to come in due time. Edit: Added in the foreman for the Aotisa Team. Edit 2: Added in the very annoyed Extended that Maddox left to die. Edit 3: Added in two members of the CSC, the Chief of R&D and a WIP for a CIC Officer. [Hider= Crobalt Nicholas "Cronic" Crystalis - CSC Leader and MS Pilot] Name: Crobalt Nicholas Crystalis Aliases: Cronic Genetic Class: Co-ordinator Gender: Male Nationality: PLANT English Age: 24 Appearance: A moderate tone white skinned individual with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes, often seen wearing a blue suit trousers and suit jacket, the latter customized to resemble a trench coat (Think Dante & Vergil type coats from Devil May Cry.) as well, along with a dark grey shirt and a lighter grey tie, along with black dress shoes. Faction: Crystalis Supply Corps Rank/Role: Leader, captain and MS Pilot Mobile Suit: Initially: A Red Blaze ZAKU Warrior, later on: CSC-P Phoenix Gundam Mobile Suit Specs: Blaze ZAKU Warrior: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/ZGMF-1000/M_Blaze_ZAKU_Warrior]Specs[/url] Gundam Phoenix: A Reddish-orange gundam styled after the mythical bird that is reborn from the ashes. Able to transform into a Mobile Armour form that resembles said bird, complete with razor-sharp talons. It has two wing-like units mounted on the unit's back, and has thruster units built into said wings. It also bears Variable Phase Shift Armour, a standard feature for most Gundam Units, along with head-mounted Vulcans and two beam sabers stored in either hip. It's most notable feature, however is it's ability to absorb and discharge thermal energy in the form of heat based attacks. This works against the unit in space skirmishes, as it has to use more thermal energy to execute a lesser attack. This also bears the risk of cooking the pilot alive, so the pilot must wear a custom-made Pilot Suit that has a built-in coolant system to prevent the pilot's body from burning itself to ash. Since the armour is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, the unit can descend through the atmosphere on it's own, recharging it's heat reserves in the process. The Unit can also use the thermal energy to replenish it's energy in mid-field, but it has to enter a stand-by mode to begin the conversion process, which in turn shuts off the unit's Phase Shift Armour. Other equipment include a shield for the unit along with a beam rifle. Backstory/Personality: "War brings only suffering, pain, and loss. The least I can do is try to ease that. It doesn't matter if you're a Natural or a Coordinator. You're still a human being." The leader of the Crystalis Supply corps, Cronic founded the organization to assist with delivering supplies wherever they are needed most, be it war-torn regions on the road to recovery or a ship on it's last legs. The CSC itself employs a mix of Naturals and Coordinators, and assists both of them as well. Though he never took part in both of the conflicts between Naturals and Coordinators, he felt like he had to do something in it's aftermath, setting up the CSC to aid with relief efforts, transporting goods to wherever it was deemed necessary. Cronic himself is usually a calm, level headed person, respects his workforce and is in turn respected by them. He doesn't run his ships military, so if he has a bad idea, his men are more than welcome to voice their complaints. Get him ticked off though, and he won't hesitate to kick ass if that's what the situation calls for. [/hider] [Hider=Zerenis Aotisa - Red coat, leader of Aotisa Team] Name: Zerenis Aotisa Aliases: N/A Genetic Class: Coordinator Gender: Male Nationality: PLANT Japanese Age: 21 Appearance: moderate-length black hair with purple eyes. Slightly pale skin. Wears the Red Coats typically worn by high ranking pilots. Faction: ZAFT Rank/Role: Aotisa Team Leader, MS Pilot. Mobile Suit: A Black and Purple Regen Duel Mobile Suit Specs: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/LR-GAT-X102_Regen_Duel_Gundam]Specs[/url] Backstory/Personality: "Genesis, Requiem... Why must we create such weapons? Those kinds of weapons are just plain overkill, and leave naught but destruction and tragedy in their wake." Zerenis typically looks out for his subordinates, in this case the headstrong Izumi and the lively Lucia. A gentle soul most of the time, but he can flip it on it's head and be pretty serious when the situation calls for it. Zerenis has a knack for quickly learning the controls of a Mobile Suit, having quickly familiarized himself with his Regen Duel. Zerenis joined up with ZAFT and it's military forces late into the second bloody valentine war. He had yet to see actual combat at that time, but he was able to witness the destructive force of the super weapon "Requiem". He made a personal vow that day to make sure that those kinds of weapons never get the chance to fire. Zerenis was there alongside Aotisa team to witness the event that sparked the war; The death of Lacus Clyne and the destruction of her cruiser, along with it's crew. Zerenis had never felt so angry at anything up until that point. "You silence the voice of peace, you light the fires of war." Aotisa Team was part of the ships assigned to Task Force Sabre, and were it not for the intervention of the CSC, he would've lost Izumi, but at the time, he had assumed she was as good as dead from a hit like that. Swift intervention by one of the ordinarily R&D members of the CSC piloting Cronic's Blaze ZAKU Warrior managed to ensure her survival. [/hider] [hider=Calthorn Stalicrat - Extended super pilot, formerly under Maddox's command.] Name: Calthorn Stalicrat Aliases: N/A Genetic Class: Extended Gender: Male Nationality: English Age: 22 Appearance: Has jet black hair much like Zerenis, but also has crimson eyes. Calthorn's skin is also on the pale side. He typically wears a black earth forces uniform to match his appearance. Faction: Earth Alliance/OMNI, Phantom Pain Unit. Rank/Role: MS Pilot Mobile Suit: A Jet Black GAT-02L2 Dagger L outfitted with the Noir Striker pack, nicknamed Wraith (Missing it's legs), Wraith Gundam Mobile Suit Specs: [url=http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GAT-02L2_Dagger_L]Dagger L[/url] Wraith Gundam is a unit that is largely experimental in nature; Mixing Phase Shift and Mirage Colloid technology into a single package. Some people call it Mirage Shift, others call it Phase Colloid. Whatever the name is, Wraith Gundam can effectively use both systems simultaneously, allowing the ballistic resistance of Phase Shift while maintaining the invisibility of Mirage Colloid. As a result, however, this system can quickly burn through the Unit's power reserves. To compensate, the unit is outfitted with an energy leech system to drain power from other mobile suits to sustain itself. Standard armaments such as Head Vulcans are present, but the Wraith's melee weapon is a beam saber the pilot of the Strike Dagger retrieved from a skirmish against a powerful manned ET Unit, that had a strong power draw and output. So much so that a short activation period on account of draining the Dagger L of the last of it's power. Wraith itself is meant to be a spook; Slipping behind enemy lines and laying waste to them from behind. Backstory/Personality: An Extended, and a member of the phantom pain corps who has an excellent record, Calthorn was formerly assigned to Maddox's command. Though at the end of Task Force Sabre's skirmish against the ETs, Calthorn had to be taken to the CSC's Flagship, Escutcheon, because Maddox and his ship was nowhere to be seen, and by extension, the machinery needed to keep him in top form. Calthorn himself is typically quiet and reserved, though as a result of being "Left to die" as he calls it, simply thinking about Maddox makes the Extended's blood boil. So if he ever saw Maddox face to face again, he would probably pulverize his former CO as a result. [/hider] [hider=Mark Artemis Astaroth - CSC's chief of R&D ] Name: Mark Artemis Astaroth Aliases: N/A Genetic Class: Co-ordinator Gender: Male Nationality: PLANT English Age: 21 Appearance: A brown haired, brown eyed individual who often wears a red jacket and a black vest with blue jeans and black shoes. Has moderate tone white skin. Occasionally switches out his jacket for a lab coat if the situation requires it. Faction: Crystalis Supply Corps Rank/Role: Chief of R&D, MS Pilot Mobile Suit: Gundam Saboteur Mobile Suit Specs: Gundam Saboteur is intended to be a long range support sniper. Resembling a sniper wearing a Ghillie suit, Saboteur can change the colour and texture of it's armour like a chameleon to better blend in to the surroundings, courtesy of a modified Variable Phase Shift Armour, and retaliate with a powerful sniper shot. Saboteur's main strength, however, is the ability to serve as a mobile hacking terminal. This allows him to hack into enemy ships or mobile suits and hijack them, or just make them self destruct outright. Backstory/Personality: A gifted Research And Development expert with a penchant for hacking, Mark is a close friend of Cronic, and when Cronic founded the CSC, he offered Mark a position in it's ranks. It was he who saved Izumi from certain death, and is collaborating with the Junk Guild in building the new units that would give them the edge they need against the ETs. When he's working, he's usually so caught up in his work, he often shuts out what's going on around him on a subconscious level, effectively meaning you could easily startle him if he did slip into that state. Outside of that though, he's usually a very kind person. That's not to say he's a pushover though. You start giving him trouble, he'll make you eat dirt.
