The main character of the series. Born Soran Ibrahim, he was a former Child Soldier influenced by his Complete MonsterEvil Mentor to kill his parents before joining Celestial Being after he was saved by a Gundam. At the end of the series, he became humanity's first ever evolved innovator. Pilots the 00 Qan [T].Voiced by Mamoru Miyano (Japanese) and Brad Swaile (English)
His real name is Lyle Dylandy, the twin brother of the original Lockon Stratos, Neil Dylandy. He originally joined Celestial Being as a Kataron Double Agent, but he decides to be a full-fledged meister in the end like his brother. Pilots Gundam Zabanya.Voiced by Shinichiro Miki (Japanese) and Alex Zahara (English)
Hilariously and Awesomely subverted in the final battle, where he reveals a targeting system that allows him to fire "without targeting." Which he states explicitly.
Dark and Troubled Past: Lost his parents and sister in a terrorist attack years ago. Then he and his estranged twin brother Never Got To Say Goodbye to each other before said twin's death.
Dead Little Sister: His sister Amy. He also has a dead older twin brother in Neil.
The Lancer: He and Setsuna have the most parallelism. Both were Child Soldiers / Tykebombs, both have Quantum brainwaves, both their Gundams are equipped with Swiss Army Weapons, and most importantly, he is Setsuna's longest companion.
Le Parkour: Does this when he and Marie are being pursued by ELS-infected vehicles.
Lightning Bruiser: The Harute is a hard-hitting speedster designed for zero-gravity combat. As Doublelujah, he can have the strength and reflexes of two peopleSuper Soldiers.
Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Allelujah and Hallelujah can be seen as the two in one body. Allelujah is a sensitive person while Hallelujah is a sociopathic tough guy. Likewise, his/their girlfriend/s Soma/Marie can also be seen as a two in one body for this trope's female counterpart.
Fan Nickname: "Vowels", because his name is full of 'em. Also "Moeria", because his fangirls think he looks adorable when he's upset. Also, mostly on the Japanese Fandom, "Zetsubou-Sensei", especially after the Lampshading Shout Out in one of the SZS episodes.
Inverted Trope: The Raphael and Seravee II reverses the trend of Tieria's Gundams being a BFG equipped heavily-armored primary unit and a Fragile Speedster secondary support one.
Morality Pet: To Hallelujah. There is only one time in the entire series when he had an objective other than 'kill things in a horrible, sadistic manner'... and it involved safeguarding Marie. D'awww...
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Soma and Marie could be seen as the two in one body. Marie is a gentle girly girl, Soma is a tough tomboy. Likewise, their/her boyfriend/s H/Allelujah can be seen as the two in one body to the male counterpart of this trope.
Tactical operator. Has a wealth of mechanic-related knowledge and both her parents are second generation Gundam Meisters. She was initially an EmotionlessStrange Girl, but thanks to her interactions with the people around her, she gets great amount of Character Development.Voiced by Ayahi Takagaki (Japanese) and Chantal Strand (English)
Unlucky Childhood Friend: Given that she knew Setsuna since she's twelve and the eventual outcome of The Movie, she fits, YMMV given we don't know what happens after the epilogue.
Wrench Wench: Her background info implies she is one, stating that she has a wealth of mechanics related knowledge, and can troubleshoot a GN drive. Pity we only get to see her use said knowledge a few times, also implied though her finding more comfort in dealing with machines (Haros mainly) rather than people.
Lasse Aeon
A fearless and a supportive comrade in arms. He never showed any fear in any dangerous combat situations and protective of his friends.Voiced by Hiroki Tochi (Japanese) and Andrew Francis (English)
Celestial Being Technical Specialist, developed the armaments and other aspects of the Gundams.Voiced by Hideyuki Umezu (Japanese) and Peter New (English)
Expy: The man has many similarities to Seiya Uribitake from Martian Successor Nadesico, except he's a little more sedate, and Graham and Setsuna have the Cargo Ship tendencies, not him (though he will be pissed if you damage his robots.
Freudian Excuse: His abrasive behaviour is mostly a result of the ESF treating him like a living weapon before Kati shows up. It's implied that it's given him a bit of a complex.
Brigadier General of the ESF army. She served as The Strategist to AEU and A-LAWS. Was a colleague of Sumeragi Lee Noriega aka Leesa Kujoh in college and AEU. Wife of Patrick Colasour.Voiced by Minami Takayama (Japanese) and Cathy Weseluck (English)
What the Hell, Hero?: She's none too happy about how the ESF's labcoats have been treating Descartes, perhaps remembering the other super-soldiers she's been acquainted with.
Patrick Colasour
An ESF soldier who is AEU's Ace Pilot and formerly worked for A-LAWS. Husband of Kati Mannequin.Voiced by Kenji Hamada (Japanese) and Trevor Devall (English)
A former A-LAWS officer and son of Colonel Badass Sergei Smirnov. He killed his father in a fit of rage during the AEU orbital elevator incident, but soon realized how wrong he was. He now fights for the ESF to continue his parents' legacy.Voiced by Tetsu Shiratori (Japanese) and Brent Miller (English)
Zettai Ryouiki: Wears thigh-high boots just like Nena, only with a miniskirt.
Solbraves Squadron
An Earth Sphere Federation special force unit headed by Graham Aker, and drawn from the best Mobile Suit pilots of the ESF. They use the Brave class mobile suit, and Graham has a Brave that was especially made for him.
Multinational Team: Graham is American, Viktor Leonov is a West Russian [hence, Russia west of the Urals], Rudolf Schreiber is from Germany, Akira Takei is Japanese, Yagan Crow is Australian, and Naguib Neferu is Egyptian.
Marina's best friend, advisor and lady in waiting, who does not doubt to scold Marina when she hesitates. She left the Palace in season 2 and becomes a member of the rebel group Katharon to keep fighting for Azadistan in her own way. Now, she seems to be back on her side.Voiced by Michiko Neya (Japanese) and Ellen Kennedy (English)
Saji's long-time girlfriend. Due to the brutal murder of her family and the loss of her left hand late in the first season, she joined A-LAWS in the second season for a chance at revenge. She eventually fought Saji, who was a Tag Along Guy and Sixth Ranger to Celestial Being at the time, and accusedhim as a CB spy from the start. Fortunately, they got better.Voiced by Chiwa Saitou (Japanese) and Kelly Sheridan (English)
The Atoner: According to Word Of God, she's living her life with the intention of making up for all the crazy shit she pulled with the A-Laws.
Damsel in Distress: Subverted in that she is one of the people being targeted by the ELS because they are homing in on her Quantum Brainwaves. Naturally, she's not the only one, but she's definitely one of the most prominent due to her importance as a character. As a result, Saji and Setsuna have to rescue her from an ELS that has taken the form of a familiar looking Innovade.
Ill Girl: Due to Ribbons' medication. Fortunately, she's getting better.
Last Of Her Kind: She is the Halevy clan's only survivor after Nena's attack. And since she reconciled with Saji, who she is engaged with, the Halevy clan will be extinct surname wise when they do marry since she and their would be children will most likely use Saji's (Crossroad) last name. Unless she and Saji reach an agreement about it per a Japanese custom that allows a man who's marrying an only daughter of a higher social standard to be "adopted" into her family and renouce his family name. The fact that this is also the year 2311 might also help; a man taking a woman's family name probably isn't too unheard of, considering it's common enough for people in most first-world countries now to think it little more than a curiosity.
Patrick took Kati's last name, so there's even more reason.
Latin Lover: Still subverted because she still doesn't act like one towards Saji.
A female high school student who is infected by ELS in a half of the body. The Earth Sphere Federation takes her unconscious body as a sample in order to learn more about the ELS. In the epilogue, she is able to completely coexist with ELS and is the captain of "Sumeragi", an outer space navigating spaceship.Voiced by: Yuka Nishigaki (Japanese)
The ELS is a race of techno-organic sentient aliens that has the unique abilities to assimilate/infect nearly all life and technology. They appear as a silver metallic organisms that can take solid or liquid-like forms.
Aliens Are Bastards: Averted. They honestly didn't know they were hurting humanity by their actions, and they stop the instant they find out they are.
