I'd prefer not to get another person like Paul in the roleplay. One of the main reasons I made him the way he was is to make sure to have a character who can use a deus ex machina, if needed, to pull us out of dangerous situation if the other pilots weren't capable of doing so. The other reason is to contrast him to his rival later whom is a completely normal human whom gets off on simply being that talented normally as contrast to Paul's given skills. Originally Paul was simply an oldtype pilot in a gundam wing era suit, Tallgeese and Shenlong's units alike, before being an Innovade, at which I decided that would make the story a bit complicated as he was basically Neutral-good Ribbons Almark, and then into as he is now with Jason Hiyan being added into even him out later.

Edit: But yeah Athrun's deal is him being able to beat people down with just his enhanced abilities. Like a more humanized version of Deathstroke or Slade Wilson as some know him.
