Introduction:
I'm always wondered about what if we make Allelujah Haptism the protagonist amongst other things. The Gundam shows never had a dual personality character as the main hero so I thought it's an interesting twist. I'll try to expand the character development of many other characters, not only Allelujah's. Perhaps that means that i twist the characters' personality a bit(mainly with changing/expanding their backgrounds a little). The plot itself is very similar to the original Gundam 00 story(so much that in S1 timeline all of the main battles included from the original and perhaps some plot elements remains the same)
Characters:
The characters mainly remain the same, but i rethink some of them and many characters got extra developments.
Most important change:Sorry but Setsuna F. Seiei and Marina Ismail are out and replaced by my original characters. Reason: Setsuna's character development is almost absolutely just from the main plot. So if he is not the protagonist then his character may become uninteresting. Marina Ismail's role in the whole story was mainly being Setsuna's love interest/mother figure. That's why she's out too.
Good/Bad thing:Saji and Louise stays in the story. The view of civilian perspective of the actions of Gundams is necessary and their role in the S2 plot. Saji starts as the roommate of Allelujah(instead of Setsuna).
Setsuna's "replacement":
Kovac Sturmer: 22 years old hardcore ex-mercenary. Kovac is from Eastern Europe and had connections with Ali Al'Saachez. Eastern Europe a site of constant conflicts. Culture, religion, relation to the superpowers, resources...every one of them a source of strife and eventually war here. Constant plaything of the HRL and AEU. That's the place where he born. Further background info(including his original name) later in the story.
The female character instead Marina Ismail will be revealed further in the story.
I plan some interesting and even surprising pairings(don't worry...straight ones). One or two of them maybe seems disturbing if I just mention the names without the development.
The Gundams itselves have changed too perhaps(I just mention the change that important for the first few chapters)
-Kyrios(prototype name: the "Bishop Gundam"): It became a little bit more hideous. At start it has a GN katars hidden in the right wirst. Later it had many other changes as "upgrades".
-Sarissa(Dynames's new name...it was the Makedon phalanxes main weapon's name, Prototype name:"Knight" or "Lance Gundam"):
The main weapon(sniper rifle) changed to spear-like gun/beam spear.
-Praetorian Gundam (Exia's new version...Prototype name:"Pawn Gundam"): It's main role to draw the enemy fire away from the other Gundams. It's shield is even larger than Exia's and it's somewhat flatter and have some extra features.
-Virtue Gundam(Prototype name:"Rook Gundam"):The only notable change that it can recharge other Gundams' GN condensers if needed. It's still houses Nadleeh(the "Queen" or "Regal Gundam"). The "new" Nadleeh had many interesting surprises.
The reworked Gundams are somewhat a turn backwards to the prototype script of Gundam 00, where every Gundam has the name of a chess piece(same with their roles)
About the style: The writing style going to be somewhat similar to the shooting script of a film/play. Perhaps i'll jumpout some scenes and unneeded conversations,but detailed conversations(including the characters' inner thoughts) and actions are expectable.
About the symbols and acronyms:
the in-dialogue actions mentioned between "*" symbols and before someones talking his/her name shown(as in a film script)
For example:
Setsuna: Exia, proceeding to eliminate targets.
In general i use the characters' first name, but sometimes i can call them by other names for the surprise(for example at a new character's introduction):
-?,??,??? and so on: there's no indication what's his/her gender, title just saying something. In that case i use that method.
-Man,boy,girl,officer,pilot,soldier etc.:If the character's name irrelevant or currently unknown(or it's important to remain currently unknown who speaks!). If there's more people with the same title/gender/anything then i use numbers to separate them, like: man, man 2, man 3 and so on...
-(character's name):it's used when i show a character's inner thoughts. The character doesn't say anything but he/she thinks use: the other(currently not controlling) side's voices at dual personality characters
*action*:I use them when i describe actions/facial gestures in the midst of someone's dialogue
-[character's name]: communication via quantum brainwaves or some kind of hidden communication device.
And sometimes i use the character's last names(if it's more well known):
Ali Al'Saachez: Saachez
If someone has more than one name then i use the more popular/well known name in general, like:
Lockon instead of Neil. Even if Lockon Stratos just a codename.
