History FanFic / GundamSeedDestinyAltered

Primarily focused on are the development of returning cast Athrun Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha, as well as new character and main protagonist Shinn Asuka. Certain story elements are also adapted from the ONA '' Gundam SEED CE 73 Stargazer''.

''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Destiny Altered'' is a ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' FixFic, written by author Drachenritter and set in the Cosmic Era AlternateUniverse. It consists of two parts:

* OlderAndWiser: The returning Seed cast, and especially Athrun, who acts as a BigBrotherMentor to Shinn, with significant impact on the latter's CharacterDevelopent.

* CompositeCharacter: As in the series, Shinn is basically one for both [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]]. Stella is also one, being basically Rosamia Badam, living Four Murasame's life - except for [[spoiler: the fact that Stella actually survives in this version]].

* MassOhCrap: Pretty much the whole cast's reaction when the Destroy first appears. And again when [[spoiler:Requiem is fired]].
* MeaningfulName: Several examples.

* TheReveal: A couple of minor ones [[spoiler: concerning first Athrun, then Meer learning about Lacus's assassination]].

* SayMyName: Athrun, when [[spoiler: Kira is apparently killed by Shinn]]. Also, [[spoiler: Kira, when Lacus is assassinated]].

The work is still incomplete.

* PrecisionFStrike: Yzak, frequently. Also, Shinn on one occasion.

* Stripperiffic: Meer's various outfits. Arguably Lunamaria's miniskirt-uniform and Stella's Alliance uniform. Possibly the most stripperiffic of all is Mudie's uniform.

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Subverted multiple times with the Impulse's [[{{MechaExpansionPack}} Silhouette Packs]]. Any time an enemy unit tries to shoot it down before it can reach the Impulse, someone else intervenes to prevent them from doing so.

* WaveMotionGun: Multiple examples, including the Tannhauser and Lohengrin positron blaster cannons; The Destroy, which [[{{BeamSpam}} beam-spams]] them; Then there's Nibelung and Requiem, which are this turned UpToEleven.

* ShoutOut: Most Original Characters are this, such as [[ComicBook/{{X-23}} Dr. Rice and Dr. Kinney]], the two scientists in charge of "maintaining" the Extendeds.

* ShoutOut: Most Original Characters are this, such as [[{{Main/X-23}} Dr. Rice and Dr. Kinney]], the two scientists in charge of "maintaining" the Extendeds.

** Almost any fight involving the Destiny.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Lacus Clyne, who is killed in her second appearance with a [[{{NoKillLikeOverkill}} 12.7x99mm rifle round]] ]] Also [[spoiler: Rey]], and most of the villains.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Stella, who is critically injured but survives the Destroy's destruction]]. Later revealed to have been the case for [[spoiler: both Rey and Kira as well, though the former is horribly scarred and the latter crippled for life]]

* AnyoneCanDie: Quite brutally invoked: unlike the original series, [[spoiler: Lacus is actually killed by the sniper, and Rey is supposedly killed when the Freedom accidentally shoots him in the cockpit - he survives this despite near-fatal injuries, but is still killed in the final battle.]] Actually subverted with [[spoiler:Kira, who survives the destruction of the Freedom, but is left permanently crippled.]]

* AttackDrone: A number of machines have wirelessly-controlled unmanned remote weapons. Examples so far include the Chaos and the Destroy.

* BeamSpam: So far we have: Abyss, Blast Impulse, Freedom, the Saviour Gundams, and Destiny. The reigning king of this, however, is the Destroy.

* BFG: Several examples, including the Gunner ZAKU, as well as every unit listed under Beam Spam directly above.

** The second and final battle between the Freedom and Saviour ends up this, with the Saviour being badly beaten in seconds. It is later implied that [[spoiler:the Saviour had been sabotaged, which contributed to this.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Lacus Clyne, who is killed in her second appearance with a [[{{NoKillLikeOverkill}} 12.7x99mm rifle round]] ]].
* KillTheCutie: Averted. Though [[spoiler: Kira attempts to kill Stella to stop the Destroy's rampage, Shinn stops him from delivering the finishing blow. Despite extremely severe injuries, Stella ultimately survives]]. [[spoiler:Lacus]] may also count.

* LargeHam: Jibril, a specialist in ChewingTheScenery.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Stella, who is critically injured but survives the Destroy's destruction. Later revealed to have been the case for both Rey and Kira as well, though the former is horribly scarred and the latter crippled for life]]

* OlderAndWiser: The returning Seed cast, and especially Athrun, who acts as a mentor to Shinn.

* Stripperiffic: Meer's various outfits and arguably Lunamaria's miniskirt-uniform and Stella's Alliance uniform. Possibly the most stripperiffic of all is Mudie's uniform.

* AnyoneCanDie: Quite brutally invoked: unlike the original series, [[spoiler: Lacus is actually killed by the sniper, and Rey is supposedly killed when the Freedom accidentally shoots him in the cockpit. Kira also is seemingly killed by Shinn at Operation Angel Down.]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Stella, who is critically injured but survives the Destroy's destruction. Later revealed to have been the case for Rey as well]]

* AnyoneCanDie: Quite brutally invoked: unlike the original series, [[spoiler: Lacus is actually killed by the sniper, and Rey is supposedly killed when the Freedom accidentally shoots him in the cockpit. Kira also is seemed to be killed by Shinn at Operation Angel Down.]]

** Sven Cal Bayan and Mudie Holcroft, who do so in [[{{CannonFodder}} mook suits]].

** Ezalia Joule wears a slightly less awesome dark blue one.
** Most members of the Supreme Council.
* BattleCouple: Shinn and [[spoiler:Stella after her HighHeelFaceTurn]]. Later also [[spoiler: Athrun and Cagalli]].

* BeamSpam: Abyss, Blast Impulse, Freedom, the Saviour Gundams, and Destiny. The reigning king of this, however, is the Destroy.
* BerserkButton: It is highly recommended not to appear like you are even remotely contemplating the thought of harming anyone Shinn Asuka happens to be particularly close to. Bad things will happen to you if you do.

* BrokenBird:
** Stella Loussier, SO much.
** Shinn is a male example.

* CompositeCharacter: As in the series, Shinn is basically one for both [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]]. Stella is also one, being basically Rosamia Badam, living Four Murasame's life - except for [[spoiler: the fact that Stella actually survives]].

* CrashIntoHello: Shinn meets Stella this way. She crashes into him backwards, so Shinn ends up [[ThanksForTheMammary accidentally groping her]]

** Two other examples on the Alliance side: Stella, whose uniform consists of a uniform jacket with the shoulders cut open over a sleeveless dress that's about as short as Luna's skirt; and Mudie, whose uniform is sleeveless, bares her midriff, is open to reveal her cleavage, and whose skirt is even shorter.

* EvilIsBigger: The Atlantic Federation seems to have a fixation with progressively bigger mobile armors, leading up to the Destroy.
* EvilIsHammy: Jibril, Yuna Roma Seiran

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Auel Neider, who takes a beam javelin to the gut, just like in the series. Also, the Freedom, by the Impulse.]]

* KillTheCutie: Averted. Though [[spoiler: Kira attempts to kill Stella to stop the Destroy's rampage, Shinn stops him from delivering the finishing blow. Despite extremely severe injuries, Stella ultimately survives]].

* MassOhCrap: Pretty much the whole cast's reaction when the Destroy first appears.

** In the series, Jibril is simply referred to by his surname or as "Lord Jibril". In this version, he has a first name, which is Teivel, which means exactly what it sounds like.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Played with in the case of [[spoiler:Kira and the Freedom's explosion. He does survive, but is crippled for life.]]

* PrecisionFStrike: Yzak, several times. Also, Shinn on one occasion.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Lunamaria's CustomUniformOfSexy, and one of the outfits worn by Meer.

* Stripperiffic: Meer's various outfits and arguably Lunamaria's miniskirt-uniform.

** The Fic also has its own [[http://gsdestinyaltered.wikia.com wiki page]].

As the work is still incomplete, this page will likely change.

* TheAce: Many, but Shinn Asuka and Athrun Zala are the most notable

* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Lunamaria Hawke, when she finally gets the chance to pilot Mobile Suits alongside her idol Athrun.
** Another, even more blatant example is Meer Campbell, a self-confessed Lacus fangirl who gets the chance who actually gets to [[{{BodyDouble}} be her idol.]]

* BadassNormal: Lukas O'Donnell, a Natural who is capable of holding his own against Coordinators
** Even more noteworthy, Sven Cal Bayan and Mudie Holcroft, who do so in [[{{CannonFodder}} mook suits]].

* BadassLongcoat: Durendal's of course. Ezalia Joule wears a slightly less awesome dark blue one, as do most members of the Supreme Council.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Heine Westenfluss; off the battlefield, he's just about the nicest, most mellow guy you could ever want to run into. In combat…well, let's just say he's a member of FAITH for a reason.

* BrokenBird: Stella Loussier, SO much. Shinn is also a male example.

* CombiningMecha: The Impulse, which follows the standard top/bottom/cockpit fighter formula of several previous Gundams, plus its various [[{{MechaExpansionPack}} Silhouette Packs]]. Used to extraordinary effect by Shinn to defeat Kira and destroy the Freedom

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Throughout; the only truly, unarguably evil character is still Jibril

* ILetGwenStacyDie: All over the place. Kira and Shinn are the main examples, and this is in fact one of the things that drive the actions of both throughout the story

* KilledOffForReal: Played brutally straight with [[spoiler: Lacus Clyne, who is killed in her second appearance with a [[{{NoKillLikeOverkill}} 12.7x99mm rifle round]] ]].

* MeaningfulName: Several examples. For instance, the Destiny's two {{BFS}} are named "Moralltach", which is Gaelic for "Great Fury", and it also has a smaller blade mounted to its shield called "Beagalltach", or "Little Fury". Now consider Shinn's [[HairTriggerTemper temper]] for a moment.
** Another example: In the series, Jibril is simply referred to by his surname or as "Lord Jibril". In this version, he has a first name, which is Teivel, which means exactly what it sounds like.

* ThemeNaming: Most of the weapons of the Minerva have names derived from Wagner operas and/or Norse mythology, as does the WaveMotionGun "Nibelung".

* WhatTheHellHero: Shinn pretty much entirely blames what happens to his family on Cagalli, and he is pretty obvious about it. He is called out a number of times on it, and eventually gets over it.
** Also Kira, who is called out by Athrun on the fact that his interfering in battles actually makes things worse.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Yzak.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Lunamaria's CustomUniformOfSexy, and one of the outfits worn by Meer

* TrainingFromHell: What the Extendeds are put through that turns them into TykeBombs

** Another, even more blatant example is Meer Campbell, a self-confessed Lacus fangirl who gets the chance who actually gets to [[{{BodyDouble}} be her idol]]

* {{Badass}}: A number of examples, the most notable of which are:

* {{BFG}}: Several examples, including the Gunner ZAKU, as well as every unit listed under Beam Spam directly above.

* {{BFG}}: The Sword Impulse and Destiny Gundam each have two, both of which can be combined at the pommel. The Storm Impulse also has two slightly smaller ones.

* Retcon: Unlike in the series, [[spoiler:Natarle Badgiruel and Juri Wu Nien]] survive.

* Badass: A number of examples, the most notable of which are:

** Even more noteworthy, Sven Cal Bayan and Mudie Holcroft, who do so in mook suits.

* BFG: Several examples, including the Gunner ZAKU, as well as every unit listed under Beam Spam directly above.

* BFS: The Sword Impulse and Destiny Gundam each have two, both of which can be combined at the pommel. The Storm Impulse also has two slightly smaller ones.

* CombiningMecha: The Impulse. , which follows the standard top/bottom/cockpit fighter formula of several previous Gundams, plus its various [[{{MechaExpansionPack}} Silhouette Packs]]. Used to extraordinary effect by Shinn to defeat Kira and destroy the Freedom

* CoolShip: Several. To whit, The ''Archangel'', until [[spoiler: its destruction]]; The ''Minerva''; The Izumo-class, of which there are a total of four; and the Niranjan-class, which can ''[[InvisibilityCloak turn invisible]]''.

* KilledOffForReal: Played brutally straight with [[spoiler:Lacus Clyne, who is killed in her second appearance with a 12.7x99mm rifle round.]]. There are several other examples.

* NukeEm: The Atlantic Federation tries to do this to the PLANTs again - it doesn't end well.

* OriginalCharacter: Several, a couple of which are also ShoutOuts. Most notable original characters play only a supporting role: Captain Bernard Mac Caffrey, the scientists Martin Rice and Megan Kinney, and President Baum and Vice-President Marshall of the Eurasian Federation are the main ones.

* ShoutOut: Most Original Characters are this, but perhaps the most obvious is the BattleCouple [[spoiler: Shinn and Stella, whose machines are [[{{Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross}} blue and red respectively]]

** Yzak, who apart from being an incredibly skilled pilot also shows himself to be a good tactician, especially against the ''Archangel'', when he [[spoiler: accurately anticipates what the next move the 'Archangel'' will make is, allowing him to cause devastating damage to the ship with a [[{{MacrossMissileMassacre}} missile barrage]].]]

1. ''An Alternate Fate'', a single-chapter prologue that is a partial RetCon of certain events of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''.

2. ''Gundam Seed: Destiny Altered'', the story itself, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It essentially takes the basic plot line of the work it is based on and alters it, shifting the time line approximately a year and a half forward, and then going on to make a series of changes intended to address what the author perceived as flaws in ''Gundam Seed Destiny''.

Another, even more blatant example is Meer Campbell, a self-confessed Lacus fangirl who gets the chance who actually gets to [[{{BodyDouble}} be her idol]]

* MeaningfulName: Several examples. For instance, the Destiny's two {{BFS}} are named "Moralltach", which is Gaelic for "Great Fury", and it also has a smaller blade mounted to its shield called "Beagalltach", or "Little Fury". Now consider Shinn's [[{HairTriggerTemper}} temper]] for a moment.

* TheCaptain: Several characters throughout the story. Most worthy of mention are Yzak, Natarle, Colonel Todaka, and OriginalCharacter Bernard McCaffrey.

* ColonyDrop: Wouldn't be Gundam without one. In this case, TheRemnant of Patrick Zala's genocidal anti-Natural faction drop the wreckage of Junius 7 onto the Earth, providing ''casus belli'' for the Alliance to start another war against the PLANTs.

* CoolShip: Several. To whit, The ''Archangel'', until [[spoiler: its destruction]]; The ''Minerva''; The Izumo-class, of which there are a total of four; and the Niranjan-class, which can ''[[InvisibilityCloak turn invisible. Two of these exist, one commanded by Natarle Badgiruel]]''.

** The Kerberos BuCUE, named after the three-headed hellhound of Greek mythology. Guess what it looks like.

* OriginalCharacter: Several, a couple of which are also ShoutOuts. Most notable original characters play only a supporting role: Captain Bernard MacCaffrey, the scientists Martin Rice and Megan Kinney, and President Baum and Vice-President Marshall of the Eurasian Federation are the main ones.

* GodModeSue: Like in the original source, the Freedom Gundam [[spoiler: until its brutal destruction during the fight with the Impulse.]]

* ReplacementScrappy: Jibril, who while still a raging [[{{FantasticRacism}} anti-Coordinator supremacist]], lacks the [[SmugSnake charisma]] and intelligence of his predecessor, Muruta Azrael.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Shinn, by means of providing him with extensive character development he was denied in the series. Later, [[spoiler: Meer as well, after she learns what happened to Lacus]].
