Test Pilots of Project: Astray [My boys~! (⁎ᆺ ) ]
Pilot of the Gundam Astray Gold Frame
Name: Ephraim Sahaku, aliased as (Ephraim Aznable, Richard Speers, Alejandro Corner, Harry Ord, and many others) [Naughty boy! I had to take care of all of those aliases of his! Σ(;)]
Age: 18
Nationality: Dual Citizen of Germany and Japan
Height: 185cm/ 6'1"
Weight: 87kg
Blood Type: AB [He's actually forgetful! (=っェ=)っ ]
Birthdate: September 11, 2015
Appearance: A tall young man with dirty blonde hair and royal purple eyes. After going through The Professor's training regimen, he has an exceptionally fit body. Has 2nd and 3rd degree burns, both from fire and ice, on his body. Refuses to speak of what caused said burns. [He doesn't let his scars affect him~! / (ᆺ)\]
Personality: Stoic to a degree, the young man likes to present a polite and calm front when dealing with others. Very gentleman-like when talking to women, and brotherly when faced with children. To those he dislikes, he is very passive-aggressive and does not hesitate to say what's on his mind. Be wary of making him angry.
History: Much of his past is a mystery, due to him having lived as an undocumented urchin wandering around Europe. However at age 17, he travelled the whole word as 'Ephraim Aznable', which was an alias with an age a few years older than he actually was. During said wandering, he signed up for jobs underneath numerous restaurants and cafes. The managers and chefs he worked with say that he's a very hard-working employee, very hungry for knowledge concerning cooking too, as he was considered a prodigy by many 4 star chefs.

Pilot of the Gundam Astray Red Frame
Name: Ryo Murakumo, aliased as (Ryo Burton, Michael Oxlong, and Ryo Kojiro) [At least he wasn't as troublesome as Ephraim! Σ(;)]
Age: 17
Nationality: Japan
Height: 180cm/ 5'11"
Weight: 70kg
Blood Type: O
Birthdate: December 12, 2016
Appearance: A tall young man with black hair and verdant green eyes. Has a very cardio-focused body and has prime examples of runner's legs. Often times wears glasses. [He doesn't even have any eye problems! He just wears them to look cute! ( ゚д゚) ! ]
Personality: He is very approachable, with an easy-going smile and a welcoming aura around him. Very assertive and fiercely defensive of his self-worth. Has a very diplomatic stance towards many things, and tends to try and defuse volatile situations to prevent further chaos.
History: An orphan of unknown lineage, Ryo had lived by himself in the back-alleys and gutters of the various cities he's travelled. His years of growing up in the alleys had allowed him to nearly perfect the art of parkouring, and as such, he was a very athletic kid that knew his way around lesser known paths. This experience proved invaluable when he began working for courier companies during his youth. Due to the nature of his work, he has been around the world twice-over. [He's Mr. Worldwide! ( )ノ]
-=P:A=-
Pilot of the Gundam Astray Blue Frame
Name: Davion Guele, aliased as (Davion Augus) [He's a good boy! ( )b ]
Age: 17 [Today's the day he turned 17! ( ๑òᆺó๑ )]
Nationality: Italy
Height: 177cm/ 5'10"
Weight: 90kg
Blood Type: O
Birthdate: April 24, 2017
Appearance: A tall young man with dark brown hair and gunmetal grey eyes. He has wide shoulders and strong biceps. Tends to wear bandages and medical patches to hide old scars and bruises born from accidents in his tinkering. [He's just so accident prone! ( ゚д゚)]
Personality: A somewhat shy and introverted boy, he opens up quickly when one talks to him in topics he is an expert in, such as engineering or mechanics. Has a tendency to hide his face by pulling a hood over or simply using his hands to hide himself away. He is fiercely protective of friends and innocents, and tends to rush headlong into danger because of it. [He's a hero in the making~! () !]
History: The adopted son of the long-missing Lowe Guele, Davion gained his father's love for tinkering and innovating. He practically grew up in garages and repair bays, watching as pit crews and mechanics assembled and took apart engines, radiators, etc. Like his father, he is a natural in the ways of mechanical engineering, coding, and jury-rigging. Spent most of his life in Italy before moving to Japan, where he worked in a local garage in Chiba prior to his enrollment. [He's my personal favorite~! A fellow gearhead! (ㅇㅅㅇ )]
AN:
Alright, before you whip out the factsheets and obscure wikipages, let me make it clear first that I know some stats on the Astrays don't make sense. The speed, especially, is the most glaring affront.
I lay the blame on the fact that SEED Mobile Suit specs are so lacking in data. But then again it is an anime, and anime mostly cares about the action and drama more than the in-depth mechanics of an illogical giant humanoid robot being used for war. At least I'm trying to put solid numbers on fictional suits that run on anime physics.
Well, that and Tabane just yeeted darts on a corkboard that had random numbers on it and said "Yup, this'll be its speed!" when formulating the data packet for Project: Astray.
As for the birthyears, I once read a Reddit post during my researching on the IS World that talked about the timeline being likely in the 2030's or something. I mean, there are still cars and stuff in the anime, despite all the holographic nonsense, so I'll just stick with the assumption that it's in the 'near future' setting.
Well, with that, I'mma go back to suffering under academics.
Cipher out.
