* SilkHidingSteel: She has matured since the HotBlooded young rebel she used to be at the outset of the Valentine War into a first-rate leader who comes across as very friendly. Doesn't stop her from being [[Determinator one of the toughest politicians]] in the Earth Sphere when it comes to the defense of ORB.

Known widely as one of the best pilots in space, and as a premier small-unit tactician, Bryan brings everything to the fight, taking special care to bring his team home no matter the cost to him. At Armory One he jumped into the first available mobile suit, an old [[SoLastSeason GAT-02J Joint Daggers]]. Once the ''Archangel'' reached Earth, he took over as the pilot of the [[FragileSpeedster ZGMF-X54S Glory Gundam]]. [[spoiler: Following the Battle of Armory One and Durandal's speech revealing LOGOS to the world, he was reassigned to the brand new [[LightningBruiser JMW-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam]].]]

* TeamDad: Equal parts mentor and leader to the Fourth Wing. Also overlaps with PapaWolf in that you ''do not'' want to mess with anyone under his command.

A young Coordinator who signed on with ZAFT. She bears a striking similarity to Lacus Clyne, which caused her an endless amount of teasing at the Academy until Axel Adelmar intervened on her behalf. She and Axel soon grew very close, and the pair of them remained a couple after Axel graduated, while she was still at the Academy. She graduated from the Academy after both the Valentine War and the Combined Task Force had hunted Blue Cosmos to 'near' exctinction with top marks, earning ZAFT's prestigious Red Coat. She reached an active carrier near the end of the hunt for the Zala Remnant, but never saw any combat. She was a test pilot on Armory One, working with the new Kestrel Wizard packs on ZAKUs when the Armory One Raid hit. Jumping into the nearest ZAKU, she found her way onto the ''Minerva'' and has been flying as Bryan's wingman ever since. Started in the [[SoLastSeason ZGMF-1000A ZAKU]] she was testing on the Kestrel Wizard, but for her performance at Break The World, Bryan awarded her the [[TheMario ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam]].

* {{Fangirl}} for Lacus Clyne, among others. In the opening thread, she has to restrain herself from [[{{Squee}} squeeing]] when Cagalli shows up, and she still styled her hair and dress after Lacus through Break The World. Bryan notes that she's catching flak from the crew for it, and discusses it with her. Afterwords, she gets a handle on it, tones it down, and matures. [[spoiler: That maturity certainly doesn't stop her from [[{{Squee}} squeeing]] when she meets Lacus in person at Aprilius One in the wake of the Battle of Armory One]]

An OMNI pilot who flew in every battle OMNI fought in - including the invasion of ORB and the assault on Boaz - during the War. He was on Armory One when the base was raided, and linked up with the ''Minerva'' when the ''Archangel'' group reinforced her. Has been in a [[AceCustom JMW-03S Legionnaire]] since Break The World. He's been one of the most reliable pilots in the Wing.

* AceCustom: Flew a customized orange ZAKU when he dropped in to assist the ''Minerva''

* BadassNormal: Survived the entire Valentine War as a plain old Natural, and continues to be one of the best pilots out there.

* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Djibril used this as a means to control her, hoping to force her to forget her old life and hold onto her hate.

** [[spoiler: LoveRedeems: It was that same boyfriend and his refusal to give up on her that pulled her back from Blue Cosmos. Even if they aren't together anymore, it saved her from the dark side]]

* SilkHidingSteel: She has matured since the HotBlooded young rebel she used to be at the outset of the Valentine War into a first-rate leader who comes across as very friendly. Doesn't stop her from being one of the biggest {{Determinators}} in the Earth Sphere when it comes to the defense of ORB.

ZAFT's top gun, Heine is back in ZAFT fresh off a rotation with the Joint Strike Force. A member of the elite FAITH special operations unit, he reports directly to Chairman Durandel, much like the rest of FAITH.

* AceCustom: Flew a customized orange ZAKU, later a customized orange GEOLGG

* {{Fangirl}} for Lacus Clyne, among others. In the opening thread, she has to restrain herself from [[Squee squeeing]] when Cagalli shows up, and she still styled her hair and dress after Lacus through Break The World. Bryan notes that she's catching flak from the crew for it, and discusses it with her. Afterwords, she gets a handle on it, tones it down, and matures. [[spoiler: That maturity certainly doesn't stop her from [[Squee squeeing]] when she meets Lacus in person at Aprilius One in the wake of the Battle of Armory One]]

* {{Fangirl}} for Lacus Clyne. After a talk with Bryan, she [{CharacterDevelopment toned it down]]

* MsFanservice: While not often commented on in game, off duty she does prefer to wear revealing clothing, and on duty she packs a CustomUniformOfSexy
* TranquilFury: What happens to her when her [[SuperMode SEED Factor]] activates.

* {{Expy}}: Visually he is basically a fusion of Gai Murakumo from the Astray manga combined with Axel Almer from Super Robot Wars Alpha/OG. The name is not a coincidence, nor is his distinct preference for melee combat...or his color of choice.

* [[spoiler: TheLancer : he eventually becomes this to Bryan. Still holds on to it when Vincent returns, despite the older pilot's Command-level experience]]

* {{Jerkass}} : Her attitude towards OMNI had boiled down to KillEmAll thanks to her childhood experiences, and she responded with an IceQueen attitude towards OMNI pilots in the JSF. After more than a few drinks, she ends up in bed with Aaron, who shows her that not everyone in OMNI is a monster.
* OhCrap: Lyn's reaction to Chu at the Mira Ross Incident. But then Chu had just awakened a SEED Factor, was in a close-combat unit immune to Lyn's sniper fire, and Chu had reached close-range.

* BadassAbnormal : She carries the [[SuperMode SEED Factor]], giving her access to abilities beyond most pilots. When she awakens it, she flies headfirst into a quartet of the Remnant's best and proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle slaughter the lot of them]], [{BigDamnHeroes saving Bryan's hide in the process]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Showed up ''just'' in time to save Bryan when he'd overextended himself at Break The World. This resulted in her earning the [[BlingOfWar Legion of Valor]], the Force's highest decoration.
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor:]] When at Carpentaria on liberty, she's shown to be a lightweight. But then she's in her late teens anyway and weighs a hundred pounds soaking wet.

* CustomUniformOfSexy: Her ZAFT uniform had a rather revealing miniskirt, which took Bryan all of ten seconds to [[LampshadeHanging call out]] for being very nonmilitary. Her Joint Strike Force uniform's skirt, while not nearly as blatant, is still shorter than regulation, and the slit up the side goes much higher.
* EnsignNewbie : Started out as a test pilot for the Centurion who'd never flown in combat.
* {{Fangirl}} for Lacus Clyne. After a talk with Bryan, she toned it down

* Expy: Visually he is basically a fusion of Gai Murakumo from the Astray manga combined with Axel Almer from Super Robot Wars Alpha/OG. The name is not a coincidence, nor is his distinct preference for melee combat...or his color of choice.

An OMNI pilot from the Republic of East Asia who signed on with Phantom Pain at their 'official' creation in the wake of Break The World. Flew a [[TheMario GAT-05A Strikeblade]] until she was assigned to one of the new [[AceCustom GAT-09S Avengers]] [[spoiler: and then later given the CAT-X148A Legacy Gundam.]]

A Eurasian pilot in the Phantom Pain who joined up to be on the front line of the defense of her homeland. Flies a GAT-06S Enforcer. [[spoiler: She is far, far more than merely another pilot.

It is later revealed she works directly for Johan van Habsburg as one of his trusted agents.]]

* [[Spoiler: TheDragon to Johan]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Was forced to kill his friend from the Steel Wolves when Kyosuke placed himself above the mission]]

* RedBaron: During his time in the Combined Task Force, he got the callsign 'The White Wraith' hung on him by Buckshot Martens for his rapid, come out of nowhere combat style. It carried over when he later joined the Joint Strike Force.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Given the mass of hatred for her character in the ''Destiny'' canon, this was inevitable. Instead of being one of two [[TheScrappy scrappies]] in Project R, Meer is a fun-loving young woman who just wants to do her part in the War.

* CaptainCrash: The Glory tends to come back from combat missions more than worse for the wear. {{Justified|Trope}} since Bryan has a tendency to go after the most dangerous target he can find, and he has no problem trading damage to himself to score hits on the enemy.

* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor:]] When at Carpentaria on liberty, she's shown to be a lightweight. {{Justified}} in that she's in her late teens and weighs a hundred pounds soaking wet.

* OhCrap: Lyn's reaction to Chu at the Mira Ross Incident. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Chu had just awakened a SEED Factor, was in a close-combat unit immune to Lyn's sniper fire, and Chu had reached close-range.

** [[DragonWithAnAgenda: His goals are NOT Djibril's]]

An interesting product of the Extended program, Mina is the ''Seraphim's'' [[MoreDakka heavy]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill weapons]] specialist. She suffers from multiple personality disorder, with the Mina personality being less aggressive, and the Lee personality being aggressive to the point of recklessness. Still stuck in an almost childlike mental stage, Mina sees all mobile suits as 'metal men' and just wants to keep her 'mommy' Mira [[spoiler: later her daddy Matthias]] happy. Lee, on the other hand, knows exactly what is going on, and ''hates'' that her personality is quickly submerged through the use of her Block word every time it surfaces outside of combat. She took possession of the ZGMF-X31S Abyss Gundam at Armory One, briefly flew a GAT-04A Windam before she was assigned to the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster.

* TheNicknamer: Gives her mobile suits proper names like Elizabeth and David like a child naming a favorite teddy bear.

An OMNI pilot from the Republic of East Asia who signed on with Phantom Pain at their 'official' creation in the wake of Break The World. Flew a GAT-05A Strikeblade until she was assigned to one of the new GAT-09S Avengers, and then later given the [[spoiler: CAT-X148A Legacy Gundam.]]

* EvilCounterpart to Meer Campbell. Both started the War as a WideEyedIdealist, both are fighting for their homelands, [[spoiler: and both carry the SEED Factor]].

The second son of an old, purity obsessed, aristocratic family in the Republic of East Asia, Kenshin joined the military as a way to differentiate himself from his family and do something of worth. Initially a desk jockey, he applied to join the Mobile Suit Corps, with his progress secretly guided by his family. In the wake of the Break the World incident, he applies for transfer to the 81st, known to the rest of OMNI as the elite Mobile Suit Battalion not knowing that it is a front for LOGOS, and joins them in time for the defense of Kaiochung.

* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Delivers one to Bryan when she realizes exactly how he tweaked the Glory.

An OMNI pilot who flew for the entire Valentine War, Bryan Marshall is the last survivor of the Third Mobile Regiment (Special Operations), better known as the Zero Corps. He joined the Eighth Fleet in their rebellion in disgust over Command's use of the Eurasian Navy as a sacrificial lamb at JOSH-A. Surviving both Mendel and Second Jachin with the Terminal Alliance, he was one of the first to volunteer for the Combined Task Force in the aftermath of the War. After the Combined Task Force located and neutralized the ''Agrippa'' and the nukes she'd been carrying for Blue Cosmos, he volunteered to remain with the Joint Strike Force. Flying as the senior pilot on first the ''Archangel'', then the ''Minerva'', Bryan brings everything he has to the fight, every time.

An interesting product of the Extended program, Mina is the ''Seraphim's'' heavy weapons specialist. She suffers from multiple personality disorder, with the Mina personality being less aggressive, and the Lee personality being aggressive to the point of recklessness. Still stuck in an almost childlike mental stage, Mina sees all mobile suits as 'metal men' and just wants to keep her 'mommy' Mira [[spoiler: later her daddy Matthias]] happy.

* TheLancer

A Eurasian pilot in the Phantom Pain who joined up to be on the front line of the defense of her homeland. Flies a GAT-06S Enforcer.

* Revenge: Claims that this is his primary motivator, and that he is simply using Phantom Pain and its members as disposable tools. This is complicated by the fact that at least two members currently onboard the Seraphim [[spoiler: (Aeron and Mathias)]] had a part in Break the World. There are also subtle hints that he is conflicted about treating other members of the 81st the same way.

* [[spoiler: TheLancer : he eventually becomes this to Bryan]]

One of OMNI's finest pilots during the Valentine War, Mira's world was shattered when she discovered the wreckage her boyfriend, Bryan Marshall's, Moebius Zero in space. Bryan hadn't been able to communicate to her that he was joining the Eighth Fleet in rebellion and was faking his death, and she thought he was truly dead. Joining Blue Cosmos, Mira flew at Second Jachin to defend the Peacemaker Force from ZAFT and Terminal. After the failure of the OMNI assault on PLANT, she threw in her lot with the ''Agrippa'' force. She was one of the first Lord Djibril pulled out of Blue Cosmos and out of the line of fire from the Combined Task Force, to join the new Phantom Pain.
