I've been hugely inspired by Akatsuki Leader13 and Maileesaeyas' MS Gundam Seed Destiny remakes, and decided to try my hand at my own remake. As such, I've written up some ideas for Mobile Suits, and psyche profiles for some of the early main characters. I wanted to get an idea of what people thought, so please, be as a critical as you want; I want to do the best work I can with this, and constructive criticism will only help. Thanks!

Weight: Max weight of 86.8 metric tons

Armor Materials: Unknown

Powerplant: Ultra compact Energy Battery

Equipment and Design Features: Sensors, standard range, Variable Phase Shift Armor, Deuterion Beam Energy Supply System, Dual Wing backpack unit, Lightwave Pulse Thrusters, shoulder mounted vernier vents.

Primary Armaments: X2 beam sabers, stored behind shoulders (flip down under arms when in use), X2 beam daggers stored on hips, X1 Type 66 beam submachine gun, stored on skirt armor, X1 'Harbinger' Anti-Armor Sword, stored on backpack unit (roughly same place where the RX-78's right beam saber would be), X1 hand shield mounted on left arm. X2 12.5mm CIWS, head mounted, X2 17mm CIWS, torso mounted.

Optional Armaments: standard ZAFT bazooka

Pilot: Israfil S. Suvorov

Appearance: The Resonance looks like GP-03 Dendrobrium Stamen. It has a single pair of wings (only two wings) similar to the Freedom's, which, when deployed, form a large obtuse V behind the Resonance. It has the shoulders of the Exia Avalanche.

Color: Eyes are yellow, with a black torso, head, shins, and forearms; white thighs, biceps, abdomen, and face plate, with a dark electric blue 'war paint' on the face plate (under the eyes and two parallel lines down its cheeks). Silver trim, with a few lines of the dark electric blue.

Design: constructed a bit before the other Armory One Units, the Resonance was built as a high speed interception and assault unit. Built for high performance, it sacrifices heavier armor and shields for increased maneuverability and speed. Designed primarily as a close combat machine for engaging enemy aces. Assigned to Israfil S. Suvorov, who pilots it during the attack on Armory One.

"Yes,this is it! This is what I've been waiting for! Come on then, patchworker, meet me!"- Neil Valder

MS Serial Number: ZGMF-X75S 'Eulogy'

Unit Type: Prototype Stealth Assault Unit

Manufacturer: Integrated Design Bureau

Operator(s): ZAFT, Earth Alliance

First Deployment: October 2, C.E. 73

Accommodation: Pilot only in torso cockpit

Dimensions: 18.5 Meters

Weight: Max weight of 87 metric tons

Armor Materials: Unknown

Powerplant: Ultra compact Energy Battery

Equipment and Design Features: Sensors, increased range, Variable Phase Shift Armor, Deuterion Beam Energy Supply System, Sensor/Radar scramblers, Lightwave Pulse Thrusters, Mirage Colloid Funnel Array.

Primary Armaments: X2 Type 30 beam katars, built into forearms, X1 'Sanada' beam naginata, X2 12.5mm CIWS, head mounted, X2 17mm CIWS torso mounted, X2 automatic beam pistols, stored on hips, X6 Mirage Colloid cloaking funnels

Optional Armaments: beam mega launcher cannon

Pilot: Neil Valder

Appearance: based very heavily off of the Gundam Deathscyhte custom (not the Deathscythe Hell Custom), with larger forearms to house the beam katars. The Mirage Colloid Funnels are stored over its left arm, locking together to form a physical shield (similar to Cherudim's rifle funnels). A small set of wings similar to the F91 Gundam's allow for atmospheric flight.

Color: primarily black, with gray as a secondary, and red and gold trim. The eyes are red. The red trim is used on the face plate like the Resonance's.

Design: constructed as a stealth assault unit for space combat, the Eulogy is designed to ambush enemy forces and overwhelm them in close combat. It was meant to work heavily with the other Armory One units due to its lack of ranged weaponry. Its greatest asset is its Mirage Colloid Funnels, which create a 'cloaking bubble' allowing the Eulogy to maintain its VPS armor in combat, but at the cost of rapid energy consumption. Stolen from ZAFT by Extended Pilot Neil Valder.

"Enemy in sight. Targeted and firing!"- Ian Burnham

MS Serial Number: GAT-01X Dagger Burnham Sniper Custom

Unit Type: Customized Long Range Support Unit

Manufacturer: Earth Alliance (Atlantic Federation)

Operator: Earth Federation

First Deployment: August 26, C.E. 72

Accommodation: Pilot only in torso cockpit

Dimensions: 18.6 meters

Weight: Max weight of 87.8 tons

Armor Materials: Unknown

Powerplant: Ultra compact Energy Battery

Equipment and Design Features: Sensors, long range capability, Trans-Phase Armor, 'Rabbit Ear' periscope, Observation Funnel, Head-Mounted Precision Targeting System, Atmospheric flight pack, Lightwave Pulse Thrusters.

Primary Armaments: X2 short beam sabers, stored in the forearms, X2 12.5mm CIWS, head mounted, X1 'Zabanya' beam sniper rifle MK. II, X1 beam pistol stored on the right upper thigh

Optional Armaments: X1 90mm beam carbine, stored on rear skirt armor

Pilot: Ian Burnham

Appearance: A heavily customized Dagger unit, with Cherudim's 'rabbit ear' sensors, and the flip down targeting sensor of the GM Sniper Custom II. The Atmospheric flight pack is the same as any Windam, though not mounted when the unit is used in space. Extra thrusters are mounted all over the body for increased maneuverability. In space it has a detachable atmospheric cloak to disperse its energy emissions (a cheap but effective stealth system; the cloak is similar to that used by the Sandrock Custom in Endless Waltz). The Observation Funnel is set behind the left shoulder

Color: Eye unit is a green. Color Scheme is a dark blue primarily, with a light gray as a secondary. Burnham's signature emblem, a dragon's head, is painted onto the right shoulder in dark red.

Design: Dagger unit customized for Neo Roanoke's XO, Ian Burnham of Phantom Pain. Due to the heavy customization, this machine is capable of competing with almost any modern Mobile suit, though it is clearly not designed to get into close combat. In combat, it is meant to take up a rear position and provide supporting fire and reconnaissance for other units.

Psyche Profiles:

Israfil S. Suvorov

Born: December 8, C.E. 56

Age: 17

Affiliation: ZAFT

Personality: Usually quiet, serious personality. Aggressive tendencies in combat, shows an interesting inclination for close combat. Idealistic. Minor signs of combat stress, but with no signs of progress. Shows an incredible talent with enginnering and combat. Has a quick mind, but appears to have judgment clouded in a fight.

History: 2nd generation Coordinator. Born in the PLANTS to John Suvorov and Mia Kershaw. Mother died shortly after his birth. His father disappears. Raised by his elder brother. During the Bloody Valentine War, he enlists as soon as possible, but only sees minor action at the end of Jachin Due, where he pilots a GINN. His brother dies serving in Andrew Waltfeld's desert campaign. After the war, he attends the ZAFT Military academy, where he shows a talent for designing mobile suits, and passes near the top of his class. Despite being urged to join the IDB, he instead requests assignment to an MS unit. He is, surprisingly, assigned to the Minerva and one of the new machines at being constructed at Armory One, according to some by the special order of Chairman Durandel himself.

Appearance: average height, short hair, but often unkempt. Brown hair, ice blue eyes with specks of a light violet. Angular face, body well muscled, thin, like a coiled spring. Small scar on his forehead.

Notes: The protagonist of Gundam Seed Ascension, a homage to Setsuna F. Seiei, and my favorite military commander of all time, Aleksander Suvorov.

Neil Valder

Born: Unknown, around C.E. 55

Age: roughly 16-18.

Affiliation: Earth Alliance

Personality: Ferocious tendencies. In combat, seems to resemble the original extended pilots. Outside of combat, he is an avid learner, but mainly in subjects relating to war. Seems content to let others go about their business uninterrupted. Appears to follow Sting, though he clearly has some command potential.

History: Unknown.

Appearance: about 6'1. thin, but very tough. Has long, black hair. Eyes are an unnatural crimson, implying he might not be a Natural. A tattoo of serpent goes from his left hand up to his shoulder.

Ian Burnham

Born: September 21, C.E. 39

Age: 34

Affiliation: Earth Alliance

Personality: Commanding, but like his CO, affable. Tactically brilliant. Appears to be easy going outside of combat, but at the same time quiet, preferring to observe rather than speak.

History: Enlisted in Atlantic Federation forces at 16, serving well into the Bloody Valentine War. He piloted a Dagger during the war and scored an impressive kill ration, preferring to snipe out enemy targets. He was one of the founding members of Neo Roanoke's Phantom Pain unit. He seems to prefer to use the Dagger over other units, appearing to enjoy beating targets due to his skill rather than his machine.

Appearance: About 5'11, well built, with brown hair and green eyes. Hair worn long in a none military fashion, and usually has a well trimmed goatee.

Notes: I wanted to give Israfil another enemy, one who was more collected than Valder. The name Burnham comes from the founder of the Modern British sniper units in the Boer War.
