PILOTSGaia Name: Gundam Arashi
Name: Kamon Damien
Age: 20
Mobile suit make: Gundam
Description: About 5 foot 3, Japanese, with long black hair covering half his face. His eyes are brown, and his skin is light in color. He wears black pants, usually preferring a plain t-shirt. He has a scar on the left side of his face, received from a boyhood accident. He is usually quiet at first, but warms up to people once he gets to know them.
Nationality: Japanese
Details about their past: He saw the Gundams in their fight against Mariemaia Khushrenada when she tried to take over the Earthsphere when he was 6, and was inspired to one day fight if ever needed to. He has been trained as a soldier since he was 7, and shows no mercy on the battlefield, although when at rest he is extremely laid back.
Mecha Details: The suit is a close combat specialty type. It is equipped with a large sword that can fold back to reveal a small beam gun, as well as act as a shield. It has a larger shield, which has 10 'weapon bits' to send out to swarm around his target, hence the name Arashi. The suit is agile, thanks in part to being lightly armored, and small in stature. It also has Kamon's favorite weapon, the Twin Buster Rifle. It is called Gundam Arashi.

Gaia Name: Ty Gwynnia
Name: Adalwulf van Zandt
Age: 21, though he looks 22 or 23
Mobile suit make: Gundam (Or, what he thinks is a gundam)
Description: About 5'12". He has dirty light blond hair pulled back in a small ponytail reaching the top of the middle of his back, and one clear blue eye. He lost his right eye when he was a few years younger and now wears a patch over it. The scar extends from one side of his right eye to the other side, past the temple and to the edge of his right ear. He wears an olive green long-sleeved shirt, frayed dark blue jeans, and black shoes. He also has a flash drive for his job and wolf tooth on a string necklace.
Nationality: German
Details about their past: Adalwulf lost his parents when he was only 6. He grew up in multiple foster homes and eventually went off on his own as soon as he could. He'd always been what everyone called a "computer nerd", and scraped out a living for a few years through hacking and offering his computer skills to any who would pay him, attempting to save up for personal laptop. After an encounter with a group of mecha pilots and a girl he once loved not very long ago, he lost his right eye. He had some money to get a robotic eye, but the doctors refused to give him the operation for reasons unknown. Due to that loss, his depth perception has decreased dramatically. One day, he found a semi-wrecked gundam in a ruined city, but was able to salvage enough parts to pay someone to repair it for him. He fell in love with the thing as soon as it hummed to life and easily figured out the complex controls, able to navigate them with little difficulty, excluding his depth perception problems. He now practically lives in it's cockpit when he's not in town for food, weak watered down alcohol, getting money, or stumbling around.
Mecha Details: Nicknamed Lillia, it's paint job is a green, gray and white combination, with a faint pink color for the major details, making it seem girly. Lillia is fairly quick and is made to be a lightweight, which is, however, a disadvantage. It usually can fight at mid- to close- quarters. It's equipped with a beam saber glaive, and it can shorten its handle for close range. A beam rifle is used for any long range it may have to do. As much as Adalwulf loves his Lillia, he can't afford real bullets, so he sticks with beam weapons.
Affiliation: None. He's on his own for now.

Gaia Name: Ty Gwynnia
Name: Demyan Valkov
Age: 26, though he looks 24 or 25
Mobile suit make: A mecha/gundam hybrid
Description: Around 5'14" for height, slight muscular build. Shortish red hair with a mini ponytail, and light coppery-brown eyes. Wears a brown knee-length jacket, crimson red short-sleeved shirt, worn black jeans, black fingerless gloves, and black shoes. There's a scar underneath his left eye on his cheekbone from where he was punched by someone wearing a ring, or just a really hard knuckle, just a few years ago.
Nationality: Russian, speaks with an accent that varies from faint to strong
Details about their past: Demyan was raised in Russia by his mother, his father had been associated with Backdraft secretly throughout his childhood. He kept most of his mother's traits, being from England, particularly facial looks. Though he was Russian, he preferred to speak English daily, and has a slight accent. When his father disappeared while on a mission, his mother fell ill and died, leaving his close aunt to take care of Demyan at age 9. He usually was a loner from his cousins, preferring to build airplane models in his room. He left the the house years later and decided to join Backdraft, like his father. Given a poorly maintained and failed experiment of a mech suit, he salvaged from destroyed enemies to improve it. One day, he and his drinking buddies went to a bar, though he likes smoking to drinking. There, they started to drunkenly flirt with women. A man didn't like it, and attacked all 3 of the pilots. Demyan used a knife to swipe at his eye cheaply, scoring a hit, but gaining a scar on his cheekbone. They left soon after the brawl, staggering back to HQ. Rising through the ranks, he stuck with solo missions, though he rarely went on partner missions. Now that Backdraft has been revealed to everyone, he has decided to stick to it.
Mecha Details: Nicknamed Natasha, or Nattie. Paint job is a deep green and black. A fairly bulky machine, but swift all the same. It was intended to be a new and improved model, a hybrid of a gundam and a mech, but the scientists decided to botch it after a few good years. Thanks to that, it is fairly junky and looks as if it's falling apart. It has multiple mismatched parts here and there from destroyed mechs and gundams, as well as various additions. The chest armor as well as the legs and arms are reinforced to allow it to carry a heavy gatling-gun, and a beam saber is also available to be used in close quarters. Natasha also has secrets in it's systems and inner workings, some that the scientists regret putting in.
