Plank SinatraName: Quentin Richards
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Nicknames/Codenames: The Grey Ghost
Genetic Type: Old Type
Personality:
Dozens of years of nonstop war and conflict have turned Quentin into a hard man with a strong sense of morality and vindication. He refuses to harm innocent civilians and refuses to commit crimes against his fellow man without reason. He is a model soldier otherwise however brave, valiant, and respectful to a fault. Though he can be kind he has trouble really opening up outside of the common polite conversations. He has a deep distrust of spacenoids due to the many years he has fought against them and a strong paranoia about those around him after the Gyps Conflict and his part in it especially due to his history with the Titans.
Though he isn't a fond of killing, he tends to be a realist on the battlefield. He does not typically worry about murdering his opponents with ruthless efficiency and practice. He isn't the type of person who compromises with terrorists or other people but is fair enough to not gun down surrendering opponents or defeated enemies without provocation. He doesn't enjoy fighting anymore but he feels it is his duty to continue on with his efforts to defend Earth after the Gyps Conflict and the incident with the Delaz Fleet. He can usually keep a calm face and attitude though if pushed hard enough he can become frustrated or angry enough to lash out at the cause of it. It is this along with his respect for Bright and the late Amuro Ray that has led to him taking a larger role in Londo Bell.
He has a personal fear of letting anyone too close to him and has no ended up with a love life due to this fact. In fact he has all but sworn off relationships in general but a part of him still clings to the hope that he could one day settle down.
Appearance:
Quentin is an adult male of about average size and build with graying black hair with a unshaven chin though he doesn't have a beard. He has dark brown eyes and not noticeable scars on his face but his calloused fingers and scars on his chest tell stories of hard work done in his younger years. He typically wears his federation uniform though outside of it he wears brown or plain colored pants and shorts and typically sports a white shirt.
His flight suit is black and red sharing the colors of the old Titans uniform that he sported during the Gyps Conflict as soldier in Karaba. However the suit isn't the original since he has out grown the suit the logo from the Titans has long since been removed replaced by a Londo Bell symbol on the left arm and sides of the helmet.
Biography:
Born and raised on Earth at a young age in America young Quentin was the son of a Federation soldier and a school teacher who were high school sweethearts. They were often apart but Quentin was cared for by his mother when she wasn't on her job and a family friend of his father's when she wasn't home. His younger years weren't very exciting mostly living in a quiet suburban town was easy and not a hard life for Quentin. However whenever his father had off time he would come and visit his family more often than not often bringing home tales of the sides in space. Quentin often dream of going with his father to space which was what would inspire him to eventually join the military.
Upon entering high school young Quentin was not a member of any clubs though he had good grades and was all around respected by his teachers for his studious nature and his great school spirit. He didn't have too many friends but he did have a good group of people he loved to be with and was generally happy with his life. However as tensions rose in outer space he and his friends all were scared to death of what would happen too everyone in their town. Quentin as soon as he graduated joined the military and through hard work and effort he managed to not only join the military but pass with flying colors though he had a reputation for being 'that guy' as he was more business like than the rest of his peers.
There was not much to say about Quentin until he was chosen to be a member of one of the initial pilots selected to test Earth's new mobile weapons called the GM and ball. He was selected due to his performance in training and his track record for reliability in the academy. His testing of the machines revealed he was highly capable of actually piloting the machines and was picked out to fight in a mobile suit team on the front lines of the war. After saying his goodbyes to his father he served in his unit with ability capable of fighting enemy pilots head to head and keep himself alive. Though his initial team was quickly ripped apart due to death and circumstances he and his captain both survived handily in the war. After participating in Operation Cemballo and earning a nickname there as the 'Grey Ghost' for eliminating a large number of enemy troops and surviving, more in part to luck than skill, he proceeded to fight with the main bulk of the federation forces at A Baoa Qu. Though many of his allies died in the battles and he lost many friends in the process he managed to keep alive and was promoted to squad leader for the final push against Zeon even at his young age.
After the battle Quentin retired from the military quickly enough unable to properly cope with the horrors he experienced in the final waning hours of the war. He sought assistance from his old war buddies, and professional soldiers. His father who was crippled during the war, losing his left arm in a gun fight with Zeon soldiers, was a source of support for the young man. Through this and some much needed rest he was able to recover with time despite hearing all of the horrors still happening in space. His wanderlust and excitement to prove himself had faded when word of the attack from the Delaz fleet reached him. Upon hearing about the massive and downright disgusting incident involving 'The Nightmare of Solomon' and the famed admiral of Zeon he intended to rejoin the fight despite his reservations about if he could handle it properly. He was swiftly approached by the newly formed Titans to join their army and he did so with a smile on his face.
During his tenure as a Titan soldier he was piloting a RGM-79Q GM Quel and was the head of his own unit for a time before being relegated to a riot suppression unit. He quickly found himself having more and more units placed under his command due to his time as a soldier in the one year war and with many units in the Federation being swallowed up by the Titans he felt more and more uncomfortable in his role. Though he did see first hand the terrors of Titans even involving himself in some questionable activities at times he held strong to his belief that he was doing this with purpose. He continued to serve in the Titans all the way until the battle of Jaburo where he learned of the gassing incidents. After surviving the battle he found his way to Karaba where he defected to their side and gave them many secrets involving the Titan's bases nearby. A primary reason for his defection to Karaba over the AEUG was due to not only his distaste for spacenoids but his respect for pilot Amuro Ray.
Leading a strike team for Karaba Quentin found himself destroying many Titan facilities and leading smaller groups of Karaba rebels in fights all over Earth in a series guerrilla attacks. It wasn't until things heated up in space did he join the main forces of the AEUG in space. During the Gryps conflict he often met soldiers he served with and did his best to spare their lives but he did end up killing many old friends. He served with Bright's forces for a time before the final conflict where he was placed as a reserve unit. Once the battle had finally come around he was chosen to lead some of his fellow Karaba soldiers as a commando unit taking out key targets in the battle though he ultimately once again lost the majority of units in an intense fight.
After the war he opted to stay with the Karaba forces and served with Bright and Amuro Ray for a time up until the formation of the Londo Bell forces where he and other war veterans were placed in a squad dedicated to rooting out pockets of resistance forces who continued to pursue war against Earth. He would not participate in many if any of the major battles during the Second Zeon War though he did enter a skirmish or two. He participated in the first defense of Earth against Char's Neo Zeon but failed to stop the initial drop barely surviving the battle his suit nearly destroyed. He would not participate with Amuro in the final fight and it would ultimately eat at Quentin wondering if his presence would've changed anything. He took Amuro's spot as a top member of Londo Bell for a time before letting others take over major roles. More recently he has been placed at the disposal of anyone who needed him the legacy of the Grey Ghost weighing heavier on it's bearer more and more.
