[hider=Takatora]

[b]Name:[/b] Takatora Myojin
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[b]Personality:[/b] Despite a lot of his friends calling him "Taka", Takatora doesn't actually like being called that. Something about the nickname seems to make him flinch, like hearing it stings him somehow. He rarely ever goes into detail when questioned about it, instead being quick to change the subject and brush it off. Other than that, Takatora is a nice enough kid. Polite to strangers, usually willing to jump in and help someone who looks like they need it. When it comes to battling, though, Takatora prefers to stayed focus and minimize the catchphrases and bantering. He also seems to take damage done to Gunpla personally, each hit he takes only serving to fuel his grit and determination.

[hider=Gunpla]
[b]Name:[/b] Hayabusa
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2j1wwbb.jpg[/img]
[b]Base Model:[/b] MG Astray Red Frame + Blue Frame
[b]Equipment:[/b] 1x Dragon Sword (Katana), 1x Dragon Buster (Greatsword), 2x Beam Sabers, 1x Vulcans, Energy Shurikens (consumes particle energy to generate and throw shurikens made of beam energy)
[b]Other:[/b] Has the Blue Frame's Scale System, allowing it underwater mobility as well as the Red Frame's Flight Unit. The Flight Unit is a separate piece of equipment that attaches to the external connector on the Hayabusa's back and thus must be taken into GBN along with the Gunpla in order for Takatora to have access to it in battle. As a bonus, the Hayabusa has also been equipped with Trans Phase Armor for emergency situations.

[b]Backstory:[/b] Takatora was not the first member of his family to be into Gunpla battling. That honor actually belonged to his elder brother, Kiyotaka. Often called the Taka Brothers, the elder Taka took the younger under his wing early on. Kiyotaka was a skilled builder and battler, part of GPD Team that had been competing in tournaments even before the creation of the GBN. They were champions of their home district, and were poised take on the Regional Tournament and eventually the World Level. It never came to pass.

On a fateful morning, Kiyotaka was involved in a tragic car accident that took his life. One minute he was there, and in the next he was suddenly gone, never to return. This was right around when GBN's popularity really took off. Kiyotaka's death didn't go over well with his team, who disbanded shortly thereafter. Truth be told, there were already talks of disbandment since GBN went online, or at the very least migrating the team's training and activities to the online world. But with the Elder Taka's death, each member of the old team went their separate ways. Some now lead Forces of the their own, while at least one of them decided to remain independent. As for Takatora, he had been getting building lessons from his brother, Kiyotaka even helping him build his own Gunpla. He died before the Gunpla could be finished, and even now the model sits in its storage place incomplete. Takatora went into GBN using Kiyotaka's signature Gunpla, the Hayabusa. It's a great machine with quality building and excellent performance. But in the end, it's pilot is not its creator, and Gunpla experts are almost always quick to notice this fact.
