C O D E N A M E: "Briseis"


User Image

Basic Information:

Name: De Valani, Melwena
Age:Twenty-two
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Affiliation: Troy/Lucia
Rank: Ambassador
Mecha/Mobile Suit/Pilot's suit color: White - Light Blue - Faded Yellow



Appearance:

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 121lbs
Physical build: Slender, but more toned than delicate.
Hair: Golden blond, about waist length. Full of volume, Melwena often has it tied back in a long ponytail, or in a loose braid.
Eyes: A deep Cerulean color. A trait from those of the De Valani family line.
Casual clothing: It depends on the occasion. When out in the open, casual light where she wishes not to be known, Melwena dons on a classical Native-American motif. A coat of hide with accent deisgns and short tassels over the sleeves. Underneath, she wears a strapless white dress, and has knee-high boots on her feet. However, during social and more sophisticated events, she often wears a light-blue dress with many ruffles and layers over the skirt.
Uniform: None
Tattoos/Markings/Scars/Piercings:None


Mental Profile and Background:

Personality:
Melwena is known as a kind, generous girl, but within the chambers of her heart lies the soul of a lion. Princess Melwena De Valani is known to be a very kind person despite her high rank, and is very generous with her charity. She's not picky about many things, and has the sophisticated grace that is often drilled into the minds of those of vast wealth without the general conceited nature that comes with it.

Melwena's concern has always been to mankind. She's indiscriminate to ones background or affiliation in this war, and comes benevolent, yet bitter as well to those that disagree. When it comes to her duty, she stands no different in her Ethics. Her welfare is to the people of the Earthen Alliance and the Lunar Colony, not the actual politics of war nor the glory of battle. This often brings her to butt heads with the generals who desire the war. This stubborn nature is a common trait in the De Valani family.

Likes:
1. Peace
2. Children
3. Cooking
4. Sweet Potato
5. Sleep
Dislikes:
1. Conflict
2. Being treated like royalty
3. Bugs, particularly spiders
4. Carrots
5. Corsets

Biography:
De Valani. One of the very golden names in Troy. Back during the first expedition in space colonization, Forest De Valani was one of the original twenty researchers that were dispatched to the lunar surface. After people began living on the moon, D'Cardinal De Valani rose to fame, being the lead researcher and engineer in the development of total space colonization. In the course of thirty years, the De Valani family not only became one of the richest families of Troy, but they were also crowned "nobles". Though it was not a true monarchy in Troy, the De Valani family is revered by the people, and treated with the utmost respect.

Melwena De Valani is the first daughter, the third child of D'cardinal, and of course, Princess of De Valani. Raised in vast wealthy and incredible fame, Melwena had very little responsibility in her life, until she began learning the state of mankind around the age of ten. Against her father's wishes, Melwena began devoting her life to Humanitarianism, Politics, and Law. By age eighteen, Melwena graduated college level courses in Humanitarianism, as well as political law. Ever since then, she has been actively trying to stop the war between the Lunar colony and the Earth nation.

However, she realized that words can only get so far. Thus, she undergoes secret training by military leaders how to fight, both in self-defense, as well as MECHA warfare. Though she officially claims no rank or status within the military records, Melwena did manage to "create" an identity within the archives, allowing her the ability to go into battle without her true identity being compromised. Melwena remains one of the few ambassadors of Troy that is given Diplomatic Immunity in the Earthen Alliance. As a peacekeeper, Melwena currently is doing her best to at least bring the two nations to a state of seize fire before total war will be unleashed.

So far, progress has not been going well...

Ambitions:
Above all else, Melwena desires peace between the Earthen Alliance and the Lunar Colony.

C O D E N A M E: "Patroclus"

User Image

Basic Information:
Name: Dettman, Alistair
Age: Nineteen.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Undisclosed
Affiliation: Earthen Alliance
Rank: Lieutenant
Mecha/Mobile Suit/Pilot's suit color: White/Red

Appearance:
Height: Six foot, four inches.
Weight: One-hundred and Eighty-two pounds.
Physical build: Toned.
Hair: A full head of messily styled, shoulder length jet black hair.
Eyes: A shade of green that the only the purist of emeralds hold.
Casual clothing: Alistair - when not suited for battle, can be found wearing pretty much anything that he picks up that particular morning. He tends to dress as his friend "Achilles" does, slipping on whatever feels comfortable rather than what appeals to the eye. While his choice in clothing is undisciplined, he manages to clean up very well when the need arises.

When he does pick his out his clothing specifically, however, he has shown to have a fondness of leather and dark colors. Alistair also has a great liking of goggles, usually possessing a pair loosely hanging about the base of his neck.

Uniform: ((Didn't really know what to do here... D: )) Standard Earthen Alliance uniform, altered slightly for personal preference.
Tattoos/Markings/Scars/Piercings: N/A

Mental Profile and Background:
Personality: Alistair is a fun-loving individual, who is always willing to crack a joke at something or someone. While he is light-hearted for the most part, during battle his personality dramatically shifts into one that is extremely eager to do his part. While usually operating on one of Axel's flanks, "Patroclus" can largely be counted upon to hold his own and then some.

Likes:(optional)
1. Comedy.
2. Delicious food.
3. The occasional drink.
4. The thrill of battle.
5. Being around allies.
Dislikes:(optional)
1. Poorly cooked food.
2. Poorly delivered punchlines.
3. Being ignored.
4. Performing poorly in battle.
5. Feeling unappreciated.

Biography:
Alistair was born into the noble classes of Earth, his father being an owner of a major player in the weapons manufacturing industry and his mother being an important politician within the ruling of the Earthen Alliance. Needless to say, neither were able to be around for the raven-headed boy as he grew up. This caused Alistair to live a very sheltered life, his youth spent being catered to by the miniature army of servants that his parents garrisoned within their villa.

This life that the boy lived for so long left him with a strong feeling of wanderlust. This desire eventually pushed him to enlist within the EA as a mobile suit pilot, an occupation that he soon grew to enjoy greatly. He started off slow, but quickly learned how to pilot a mech with great expertise. It wasn't long before Alistair worked his way into the famed Myrmidon Squadron, and came to befriend and idolize the leader "Achilles". He learned much from the other man, and frequently found himself envious of his skill.

Ambitions:
Alistair ultimately wants to help bring victory to the Earthen Alliance. His most prevalent desire after that is to be recognized as an asset for the EA. He largely wants this view to be held by his close friend and mentor "Achilles".

Calista is aware of this truth of life, but does know that her good looks are a blessing and utilizes the tools God had given her at birth. Calculating, in that she knows where and when to use her personal charms and when not to. A strong woman, she is always having issues with fighting back her personal ambitions and desires and recognize what is most important in her life.

Ambitions mean everything to her, without them, she would cease to function in life, be just another beautiful face in a sea of chaos. Though a rare beauty, she was also forced into the most prestigious schools and is often considered rather intellectual, in that she can hold her own in a conversation, however, she knows nothing about war nor what to do in one.

Dislikes:
1. War
2. Being treated as if she is unintelligent.
3. Being stared at
4. Her weaknesses
5. When the Lunar Colonies talk badly about her husband. (He is still a great man regardless)

Biography:
It is stated that all beautiful people in the universe have lived gilded lives. Jaded and spoiled, for Calista, that never was the case. Her father was a third generation delegate and strategic specialist, in that his father, and his father before him had monopolized the position for many a generation. Wise, intellectual and brilliant that they were, they were also very vain, believing themselves to be amongst Gods for such gracious gifts, such as intellectual conscious thought. It was an all around wealthy family, but had been earned through years of service to the Earthean Alliance and pure unadulterated loyalty. During his later twenties, Calista's father married a young woman, another delegate's child, whom would bring two wealthy and powerful families together.

However happy the couple seemed in present company, home life painted a completely different and darker picture, especially after Calista's father became Prime Minister of England, where the entire family had originated. His passion was not for home life, but more his position as Parliament elected Prime Minister, which kept him away for many weeks at a time, leaving his wife at home to saunter about the house alone. They had been trying the entire year to conceive a child, of any gender at this rate, but to no avail. The mother's patience wearing thin, in that she was extremely fertile, but her husband would not go to the doctor to find out if he was capable of having children. During one of his away meetings, an ex-member of Parliament came by the mansion in Lancaster to visit his old friend, only to find his lonely wife who invited him in for tea. Which ultimately turned into a passionate affair that a month later, got her pregnant. Furious, the father threatened to divorce his cheating wife, but at the demand of the church to remain married, and upon the birth of Calista, he changed his mind.

She was the most beautiful child he had ever laid eyes upon, and in the instant he looked down at the newborn in his hands, he knew he could not turn away from such innocence, and hid the documentation away and made Calista his daughter, burying the affair into dust that quickly blew away by the winds of History. She grew up believing the Prime Minister her father, growing ever more closer to him than her own biological mother. The pair were inseparable, and she went away with him on trips, the mother staying home to continue her love affairs after the married pair began sleeping in separate beds. Calista learned everything that needed to be known about politics at a young age, often helping her father memorize his speeches by holding out cards until ungodly hours of night. He was her pride and joy.

When Calista came of age, she had grown into the most lovely creature their family could have hoped for. At the age of twenty, her father got her a job as a member of Parliament after many strings had been pulled, which got her recognition and limelight. It is during this time as a Parliamentary servant that Calista met her future husband, having little to no idea what they would be destined to unite their families under one name. (The actual marriage to Menelaus will be written when his character has been created.... check back later for that part of the story, I apologize for the inconvenience this may be)

Ambitions:
Strives only to full fill her own person vendettas like all humans on Earth and in sky. Calista only wishes to prove to herself that she can be better than her previous teachers had thought of her. War means nothing to her for she is not a fighter, nor could she even if she tried. Everything else, she is making up as she goes.

Personality: Leon always beleived in giving everything one hundred and ten percent worth of effort. Always one to persue everything he does with an over-abundance of zeal, he doesen't know the meaning of 'hold back'. Leon, in many ways, is like a dog (as one of his commanders said when he was just a corporal) he is loyal, loving to those he loves, and vicious to those he hates. His drive and unyeilding conviction often rubs off on his troops, making them not only the deadliest of warriors, but some of the best of citizens. Leon also believes that most, if not all, problems can be solved through fighting. The fights could be anything: a simple contest, a fist fight, a debate (though he thinks those are too boring), or even, war.

3. Parasites
4. People who give up

Biography:
Everyone has their own quirks, right? From the moment a person dies to the very second they were born, and most times, even before that! For Leon Helzero, his quirks started when his parents met. His dad was a real A-hole and his mom was... not much better. When he was born, his parents promised themselves to be the best they could when raising their child. They were actually doing very good, that is, until Leon was five.
His mom died during some shady business, and his dad, a thug, a criminal, a theif, and one lazy jerk, basically went back into his habits that he all but forgot long ago. Though he was one bad jerk, he never intended to be one to his child, so he sent him to bootcamp; a jesture of kindness that he knew he would never be able to show again. Bright side is, is that Leon doesn’t even remember any of this crap, so the only impression that Leon ever got was that lazyness was bad, a trait that both his parents showed and refused to let their son show.
So young Leon went to boot camp, and it was there that he spent his entire youth. He met a man there, a man who quickly became his father figure. He was adopted, and therin received a life that would be acceptable by regular human standards... as far as living half his life in the bootcamp would allow for normal, that is. Leon slowly but surely grew to become all that could be wanted by the military.
After he graduated colledge, he went back to basic training, mainly as a formality, and then was shipped off to the next war that the Earth was put in. With bravery and valor Leon fought, and by the end of the war, he was a Commander. Some, namely his adoptive brother, tried to get Leon to become an officer, but he politely declined all invitations, and always with these same words: “If I become an officer, then I won’t be able to go one hundred ten percent!” Eventually, they all gave up.
One thing they did manage to accomplish, is to have him train and command an elite fighting force called ‘Spartans’. Leon agreed, loving the idea of having others go one hundred ten percent as well. His subordinates, however, didn’t like the idea all to well. Things got even better, for Leon, when he met a girl named Calista. He had met her during one of those parliamentary deals in England, one of those things that his adoptive brother always pulled him to. Yes, she was beutiful, but that wasn’t what struck him the most. Maybe it was the way she walked, maybe it was the way she talked, but either way, he saw her as one of those people that persued their ambitions with all they could muster. So he approached her, and they talked.
Apparently, their familys were rivals (who knew?). His family was a bunch of war mongers, profiting from all kinds of weapons development; plus having connections way up in the chain of command. Calista’s were aristocrats, members of the English parliament. Leon didn’t know exacly why they were rivals himself, but he did know that it had something to do with control over companys or such. Ah well, he didn’t care, he was in love.

Ambitions:
On a strickly business level, it’s just Leons job to lead his troops to victory. On a personal level, he wants to teach Troy more than just a few lessons about betrayal and stealing peoples’ wives. In the end, his main objective is to get Calista back, and to keep his vows of love that he made when they first got married.
