History Characters / GundamSeedDestinyProjectR

* HeroesWantRedheads

* HurtingHero : Still suffers from nightmares about the friends he lost in the Valentine War, and his role, however minor, in Bloody Valentine. Toss in his guilt at 'failing' as the onscene commander at Break The World, and you have someone holding onto a lot of pain. [[{{Determinator}} Not that he lets it slow him down...]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority

* {{Jerkass}}: Only if you were from the Alliance. 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.

* HotScientist

* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor:]] When at Carpentaria on liberty, she's shown to be a lightweight. Seeing how she's in her late teens and weighs a hundred pounds soaking wet, this is somewhat understandable.

* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Morally Ambiguous Characters Have Standards]]: Has extreme qualms about using strategic weaponry on a PLANT, though he eventually goes along with it. [[spoiler: Even more so after it fails.]]

* AdultFear: He has two daughters, aged 13 and 11. After the April Fool Crisis, the threat of GENESIS, Break the World, and having seen how such a young girl can be warped (he saw Mina at Kaohsiung [[spoiler: and helped kill her at Heaven's Base]], it is probably a minor miracle that he hasn't gone completely gray or just killed everyone in sight just to be on the safe side.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Even in his internal monologue, showing a particular preference for [[SpotOfTea "sugar"]] as an expletive.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Orange Hair]]

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

* MixedAncestry: Half Natural, half Coordinator.

* MixedAncestry: Half Natural, half Coordinator, and rather proud of it.

* MixedAncestry: Half-Natural, half-Coordinator.

* [[spoiler: GoOutWithASmile: The Lee half of her personality does this for the Mina half, shielding her stuffed rabbit from harm and throwing it overboard and thus clear of the impending death of the Destroy, thus giving the gentler Mina half of her personality a happy memory and one last smile before she's vaporized by the ''Juno's'' [[WaveMotionGun Tanhausser]] ]]

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' extinction 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]] [[SuperPrototype Gundam]].

Aaron had only recently arrived on Armory One to receive his first assignment when it was raided. After rushing into the cockpit of the nearest mobile suit Aaron found himself on the Minerva, and has been a hardworking pilot for the Fourth since its haphazard formation. Started in a [[SoLastSeason GAT-02J Dagger]], then moved into one of the [[TheMario JMW-01A Centurions]], then into one of the more advanced [[AceCustom JMW-03S Legionnaires]], and culminated in his assignment to the [[TransformingMecha ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam]].

Axel was born in ORB to a wealthy Morgenrate executive. He lost both of his parents during the OMNI assault on ORB late in the Valentine War. Blaming Uzumi Nara Atha for their death, he left ORB for greener pastures in the [=PLANTs=], where he enrolled in the ZAFT Academy. At the Academy, he met Meer Campbell, where he intervened on her behalf against a few other cadets that were making fun of her for [[{{Expy}} how much she looked like Lacus]]. The two quickly hit it off and were soon dating while at the Academy. Axel barely missed the end of the Valentine War, graduating just after Second Jachin. With his high scores, he was given choice of assignment fresh out of the gate, and he elected to go [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous special operation]]. He flew with ZAFT's Steel Wolves during the Combined Task Force. Most of the Steel Wolves signed on for the Joint Strike Force, where they were assigned to Fourth Detachment, Second Special Operations Group. He met Lyn Mason in 4 Det, with whom he shared a brief, intimate night. [[spoiler: He was also forced to kill his friend and commander in the Fourth, as Kyosuke had [[MoralEventHorizon killed a teammate]] in pursuit of his target, and was completely OK with it.]] Was a test pilot for the Centurion line alongside Lyn when Break The World came about. He joined up with the ''Minerva'' immediately after Break The World, and has been flying with the Fourth ever since. [[spoiler: He is eventually promoted to become Bryan's second in command. With the return of Vincent after Icelandic Orbit, even though Vincent was assigned as the Exec, Bryan made it clear he expects Axel to stay involved at the Command level, signifying the trust he has in Axel.]] Started life in a [[TheMario JMW-01 Centurion]], advancing to a [[AceCustom JMW-03S Legionnaire]], and now flies the close combat specialist [[AceCustom JMW-06S Gladiator]].

A first generation Coordinator born in San Diego during the height of anti-Coordinator sentiment. She never understood why it was a big deal, and wasn't careful enough. She betrayed her nature as a Coordinator, and Blue Cosmos descended on her family. The Masons were forced to flee for their lives from the Atlantic Federation, narrowly escaping a Blue Cosmos hit squad as they fled. They eventually reached the sanctuary of the ORB Union, where they found a home. Lyn was a fierce patriot of ORB after what they'd been through, and entered the ORB Defense Force as soon as she was old enough. She volunteered for the Joint Strike Force at graduation, joining the Fourth Detachment, Second Special Operations Group, alongside Axel Adelmar. She worked closely with Axel, often providing the ZAFT close-combat specialist with fire support. This culminated as they spent a passionate night together on liberty, after which Axel confessed that he had a steady girl back home. Lyn shrugged it off and moved on. When her rotation in the Second was up, she ended up as a test pilot for the new [[TheMario JMW-01 Centurion]] on Kaguya. In the aftermath of Break The World, she was assigned to the ''Minerva'' as a second sharpshooter to back up Yuzuki Ohayashi. Started life in a Centurion, then picked up the new [[ColdSniper JMW-04S Sagittarius]] sniper specialist unit.

Mira's world was then shattered when she discovered the wreckage of Bryan's Moebius Zero in space just off Ptolemaois, where all appearances indicated he'd been ambushed on patrol. 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 [[FantasticRacism Blue Cosmos]], Mira flew at Second Jachin to defend the [[NukeEm 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 [[BigBad Lord Djibril]] pulled out of Blue Cosmos and out of the line of fire from the Combined Task Force, to join the new [[BadassCrew Phantom Pain]]. She lead the raid on Armory One, and later ran heavy interference during the Joint Strike Force's effort to stop the fall of Junius Seven. Flew a [[SpacePlane TS-MA4 Exus]], then took possession of the [[TheMario GAT-X105E Strike E]].

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 [[SuperPrototype CAT-X148A Legacy Gundam]].]]

Begins flying a [[TheMario GAT-05S Strikeblade]], and is eventually assigned to the new [[AceCustom GAT-09S Avenger]].Later upgraded to the [[SuperPrototype CAT-X128A Absolution Gundam]]

* JerkassFacade / JerkWithAHeartOfGold: One or the other. Could be just acting a part for his SecretTestOfCharacter hobby, but it's also pretty likely that he's just too blunt (and enjoys messing with people too much) to NOT be an actual jerk who just happens to be a loving husband, doting father, and steadfast companion at the same time.

* FakingTheDead: How he covered his defection to Halberton's rebellion during the Valentine War. Of course, he couldn't tell Mira he was leaving wihtout ruining the idea of faking his death, [[{{Understatement}}which ended poorly...]]

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.

At war’s end, Wade returned to the PLANTs with newfound comrades Yzak Joule and Dearka Elsman to face justice: only Chairwoman Canaver’s intervention spared them from the needle. He served in the CTF aboard the ''Eternal'' on Bio-CPU raids and made the acquaintance of current Chairman Gilbert Durandal before choosing to return to ZAFT and rebuild his reputation and honorable standing. Prior to his transfer into the JSF, Wade flew with Yzak and Shiho Hahnenfuss from the ''Rousseau''.

A [[HiredGuns mercenary]] who was paid by Djibril and assigned to the ''Azrael'' during the Armory One raid, very little is known about his past. He started out in the ''Seraphim'' det as just another pilot with a penchant for ambushes until he started to develop a sense of camraderie with his team, not to mention deeper feelings for Mira Ross. He progressed to become more integral to the squadron, his electronic warfare capabilities helping to cover for the rest of the unit as he learned [[ThePowerOfFriendship teamwork]] He eventually moved up to become Mira's [[TheLancer second in command]] and the two were growing at least partially close.

* MoralityPet: Does actually seem to care about his fellow Extended Mina.
** This is later used for emotional effect when Mina is killed at Heaven's base. When informed that the only person he actually cares about is dead, Aeron is so broken that he lacks all emotions to grieve except for anger.

The Premier of the ORB Union, Lady Atha is a headstrong politician who holds her country together through being a sheer {{Determinator}}. The death of her brother Kira at Second Jachin left her briefly a wreck, in which she sought comfort in the arms of Athrun Zala. The news of the ''Agrippa'' snapped her out of her funk, and she quickly matured into a dependable and capable head of state for the ORB Union. She held as true as she could to ORB's neutrality, but unlike her father she fully recognized that ORB couldn't just insulate itself entirely from the world. Instead, she threw her support to Dietrich Baum's Combined Task Force, going after those who had more or less declared the ideals of ORB were to be destroyed by their hands. Despite her youth, politicians in both ORB and at large represent her sense of realpolitik and her ability to negotiate compromises that both sides find amicable. Her relationship with Athrun Zala hsa moved into far more serious territory, and many of the paparazzi are speculating if and when they will tie the knot.

* ReliableTraitor: The only reason Durandal keeps him alive is because of he is competent.

* [[spoiler: FallenHero: Heine followed Durandal after his former comrade, Leonard Le'Chevalier, committed mass murder by dropping Junius 7.]]

* GenreSavvy: Has a decent grasp of why things play out the way they do, if sometimes only in retrospect, such as understanding how Phantom Pain kept him away from the seedier side of their operations so that they could keep using him as an asset.

* BlondesAreEvil [[spoiler: at least they are until they find out they were lied to]]

* FragileSpeedster: His preferred ride [[spoiler: unless there's a LightningBruiser like the Strike Freedom available]].

* BashBrothers: They didn't plan for it, but Aaron and Wade are this. Partly it's because Wade has a habit of looking out for younger pilots like Aaron, but mostly its just because their fighting styles mesh together really well, coupled with a similar taste in targets (they both focus on whatever's being escorted during Phantom Pain [[EscortMission escort missions]], for instance).
* BattleCouple with Lyn after Carpentaria. Not that either of them saw it coming

* BadassAbnormal: He's one of the handful of known Newtypes in the Earth Sphere, and was one of the best pilots to survive the Valentine War.

* BadassAbnormal : She carries the [[SuperMode SEED Factor]], giving her access to abilities beyond most pilots. When she first 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]]

* BadassAbnormal: He's a Coordinator and in a third-generation Legionnaire spends the entirety of Heaven's Base going toe-to-toe with the Destroy Gundam and fending off an attack from the Legacy Gundam: both of which are fourth-generation mechs. Even though his Legionnaire is trashed afterwards, Vincent himself survives to fight another day.

* BadassAbnormal: He's one of the few living Newtypes in the Earth Sphere, and even before his powers awakened he was a highly skilled mercenary.

** [[spoiler: Chu becomes a BadassAbnormal after she awakens her [[SuperMode SEED Factor]] at the Mira Ross Incident]]

* HeroicBSOD: Suffers from a subtle one after Break The World, where the senior Remnant pilot [[HannibalLecture called Bryan out on Bloody Valentine]], not knowing Marshall was there. As the senior pilot present at Break The World, he blames himself for failing to stop the fall of Junius Seven. Couple that with the stress of being on constant combat duty since the Valentine War started, the stress of losing many friends along the way, and being reminded that he escorted the ''Roosevelt'' and her nuclear-armed Moebiuses at Bloody Valentine, Bryan finally begins to crack and goes DeathSeeker. Sheryl manages to [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan snap him out of it, eventually]].

* Card-CarryingVillain: He openly wants others to see him as a villain, especially after [[spoiler: trying to blow up a military base with nuclear weapons after publicly= broadcasting his intentions to the entire planet.]]

!!Commander Heine Westenfluss

* [[spoiler: TheStarscream: Matthias swore he would make Durandal regret for letting him live.]

!!Major Mira Ross (Sovereign)
