A/N: Inspired by Mobile Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, Gundam 00, Voltage Axe's fanfic titled Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Reflex, my own world-building of the Titanwatch Universe, Michael Dougherty's Godzilla King of the Monsters, NeoScriptGenius12's fanfic Godzilla: The Monarch Files, G.I. Joe, KaijuSamurai, Transapient, NecroTitanDesigns, Trollmans, Hypoem87, Toonholt, and BozzerKazooers' creatively artistic take on Godzilla's and Gamera's universes. I am creating another fan crossover universe putting together the very franchises more than anything else in world of fictional universes...
Godzilla and Gundam!
Yes, that's right. I am world-building this universe where Godzilla and other Kaiju/Titans share one universe with Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, and Gundam 00 while incorporating aspects of other franchises like Gundam Universal Century, GI Joe, Infinite Stratos, etc.
First, when it comes to mobile suits and new factions, it is quite the doozy and I am still new to this area. So bear with me that there will be a Mobile Suit Page with the mechanic stats and all, but I need to nail down the human characters and a huge chunk of Titans including Godzilla himself first. And that's not even getting to the big bad like King Ghidorah, and Destoroyah, which I will cover in another Monarch/Apex Titan Profile page sometime soon. I know I am kinda going all over the place with world building of crossover universes, especially with Overwatch. However, do remember that I started this random anthology of Godzilla crossover one-shots to write stories and see which one will stick out to both me and you readers the most.
Out of all the universes I crossed Godzilla with, it is Gundam Seed that I see more for crossover potential and one universe that I personally enjoy since it is one of the first anime I watched growing up in my teenage years. I think it is more fun to see monsters and mechs bashing each other in general. Oh and speaking of mechs, this is also partially inspired by Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim so don't be surprised what I plan to do with the giant mobile armors and the giant Gundams.
Okay, I am going off tangent here.
I am uploading two pages in one day. The first one, here, contains characters, the military forces, and the nations and factions of this shared universe of Gundam Seed Destiny, Gundam 00, and Godzilla with some significant changes thanks to Godzilla and his co-stars having this butterfly effect on the timeline divergent from Gundam Seed canon. The second and next page contains the biographies of major Titans like Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, etc. and minor ones like the Macro species or more obscure kaiju from the Godzilla, Gamera, and King Kong franchises. It was a lot more work than I anticipated, but I enjoy it with a passion.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy these couple of pages and more to come along with an actual short story instead of me just posting these bio pages that I noticed I have been doing lately.
Thank you!

Doctor Newt Geiszler - Atlantic Federation's expert scientist studying the Titans
APEX - a mysterious scientific organization founded in secrecy in C.E. 30 as a joint coalition between the Atlantic Federation and the Republic of East Asia in order to hunt and study M.U.T.O. (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms) or AKA Titans, named after the first gods of Greek mythology that preceded the Olympian Greek gods. Picking up where its spiritual predecessor, Monarch, left off from in the AD timeline before the Cosmic Era calendar was adopted, APEX continued to study and monitor the previously studied Titans that were thankfully still dormant while searching for newer ones yet to be discovered even while the three Alliance-PLANT Wars AKA Bloody Valentine Wars raged on that did result in gradually reduced funding over time for their operations. Major funding for APEX resumed during the short end of the third Bloody Valentine War.
APEX's first major case was with the appearance of a previously dormant mosquito-type Titan documented as Skeetera in CE 40 where she arose from a nuclear power plant accident near Fukushima, Japan. This was also when Godzilla had finally awoken from his long slumber and was pursuing the Mosquito Titan across the Pacific Ocean. In CE 53, APEX cooperated with the Atlantic Federation military to lure Godzilla and Skeetera to Wake Atoll where both were thought to be killed by the Castle Supernova hydrogen bomb "test". Skeetera was confirmed to be destroyed by the bomb's blast, but Godzilla, however, managed to survive. Unfortunately, it was also what caused the Type S influenza to mutate into Type S2 influenza thanks to Skeetera's mutagenic prions the insect Titan carried in his body that were released thanks to the monster being incinerated. Far from being burned away, the force of the detonation blew the prions far and wide across the globe, thus coming into contact with the pathogens of the Type S influenza, mutating them.
It was APEX's darkest secret and the fact that it, the Atlantic Federation, and the Republic of East Asia dare not speak about it even in private goes to show how costly it was for the world, changing history for the worst.
In CE 57, APEX and NASA conducted a return expedition to Skull Island in the South Pacific with Ferris Randa, Musashi Saito, Jack Driscoll, Vincent Denham, and Suzanne Watson representing the organization at the time. The purpose was to not only determine what had become of King Kong, Gorosaurus, and other prehistoric Titan fauna since the 1972 and 1995 AD expeditions, but also for assurance that Kong was still on humanity's side. While positive reports showed that the island was still relatively stable, other more disturbing reports showed that lately, there had been signs of other Titans, some familiar, some unknown to APEX, had been rampaging about. Kong, though still friendly towards humans, had been more on the edge with the reappearance of the Skullcrawlers, in addition to the unwanted intrusions from other Titans.
After returning from Skull Island, Randa, Driscoll, Saito, and Watson debriefed the survivors, James Conrad and Nora Harrison, before presenting with a slideshow, showing ominous cave paintings with each depicting a Titan. The slideshow ended with one massive cave painting showing Godzilla battling against a three-headed hydra with both surrounded by many different giant creatures battling each other with humanity trapped in the middle of an apocalyptic battle.
In CE 68, Akira Serizawa and his assistant, Samantha Graham, were sent by APEX to the province of Papua in Indonesia to investigate the cave-in of Grasberg Mine. There they discovered the skeleton of another member of Godzilla's species that died long ago and two parasitic spores, one of which had hatched.
The creature that hatched from the spore arrived at the nuclear power plant in Janjira, Japan where it attached itself to the reactor to feed. Monarch quickly quarantined the city of Janjira in order to study the creature, codenamed MUTO.
CE 70 was the April Fool's Crisis when ZAFT dropped N-Jammers on Earth and the subsequent consequences of mass starvation due to the people's mass starvation with APEX temporarily suspending their operation on Janjira. As for the MUTO, however, it wasn't at all affected by what was happening as the reactor had already been crippled and was now cocooned for extra protection from the N-Jammers, allowing the creature to feast on the still-active nuclear reactor. APEX was more worried that the N-Jammers would have suppressed nuclear fission for volcanoes as well, prompting the Titans from hibernation.
Despite what happened, the Titans were still sleeping thanks to the volcanoes themselves being unaffected by the N-Jammers. It turned out that the Earth's core continued to generate geothermal radioactivity through nuclear fission deep within the planet. The core's radioactivity permeated throughout the magma flow deeper layers beneath the earth's crust, which is where most of these Titans slept in, providing these giant creatures a sustainable food source as it had for eons.
In CE 72, process to remove the N-Jammers on Earth were underway and the reactivation of nuclear plants all across the earth using N-Jammer Canceller technology brought some relief for APEX members as the Titan's other food source was quickly returning. However, it sparked newfound, growing fears from other APEX scientists that it wouldn't be long before more aggressive, opportunistic Titans take notice of the changes at the surface.
In CE 85, their fears came to fruition as not only did the MUTO burst free from its cocoon and destroyed APEX's facilities and flew away, but at the same time, Laguna Verde Power Plant in Mexico was also destroyed. It was sucked dry by a Titan superspecies of prehistoric dragonflies related to the Meganeura of the Carboniferous Period, which they were quickly codenamed as Meganulon with their giant alpha female, or the Queen of the Meganulon, codenamed as Megaguirus.
The existence of giant superspecies was revealed to the world thanks to the appearances of the giant prehistoric arthropods and the subsequent awakenings of their rival predators: Godzilla from the Pacific Ocean, Rodan and Radon from Isla de Mara. Godzilla's and the two Rodans' paths converged onto the center of San Francisco where they both clashed as the bipedal crocodylopmorph King of the Monsters fought against the lifelong mated pair of monstrous, eagle-like pterosaurs with the metropolis devastated in the process. Then when the male and female MUTOs and Megaguirus and her swarm of Meganulon finally invaded San Francisco, both arthropod Titans managed to get the drop on the two feuding reptilian Titan superspecies, which forced the Godzillasaurus and the Aquiladactylus to retreat temporarily. After that, the MUTOs and the Meganulon went back to being antagonistic towards each other as they carved out enormous acres of San Francisco and the surrounding suburb towns as their own separate territories to establish their own breeding nests.
Then came nightfall as Godzilla and the mated Rodan pair decided to set aside their differences from eons of their ancient rivalry to work together to bring down their mutually despised enemies. The Titan superspecies collided for the second time in an epic destructive tag team battle of reptiles versus arthropods, unleashing devastation upon the city center. The world watched as Godzilla, Rodan, and Radon defended Naturals and Coordinator's world from the existential threat posed by the MUTOs and Megaguirus with her brood, restoring balance to the natural order. When the Godzillasaurus and the pterosaurian Aquiladactylus stood victorious in the end, it was finally time for APEX to step out of the shadows.
Notable Members:
Admiral Duane Halberton (deceased)
Dr. Akira Serizawa - Son of Haruo Serizawa and descendant of the Serizawa family going back to his, Eiji Serizawa in the half of the 20th century AD with the most famous of his ancestors being Ishiro Serizawa of the 21st century AD. Like his father and his predecessors, Akira is critical of the human race in their self-destructive race for dominance with scarce regards for the natural world. He believes that Godzilla's existence is the key in restoring balance to nature. And he carries his ancestor's pocket watch, which had stopped ticking because of the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima at the end of World War II, as a reminder of humanity's destructive potential. While more sociable and outgoing than his ancestor, Ishiro, he is still heavily introverted and philosophical even to his colleagues. He often enjoys reading the works of Shakespeare and loves listening to John Williams.
Dr. Samantha Graham
Dr. Mark Russell (retired)
Dr. Emma Russell
Madison Russell
Feldt "Grace" Yamato - adopted daughter of Kira and Lacus Yamato. Her actual parents, Ruido Resonance and Marlene Vlady, were murdered by sleeper agents belonging to a pro-Coordinator terrorist cell. Having grown up in a loving and caring family, she has picked up the philosophical ideals of peace and pacifism from both her foster parents as well as her foster father's knack for machines and her foster mother's love for nature and Haro. She has developed her own philosophy that is more akin to Akira Serizawa's than her parents, which is coexistence of man with nature thanks to her passionate love for animals. This is also what drove Feldt to join APEX apart from rebelling towards her overprotective family, even her supportive second older foster sister, Lianette. She hoped that by studying the Titans and peering into their world, she would show to the world that these giant beasts are not simply monsters, but rather complex, multi-faceted beings integral to the planet's survival as well as humanity's. Her compassionate, understanding demeanor, cheery optimism, and strong determination for a peaceful future of coexistence makes her the unofficial heart of the organization.
Professor Ferris Randa - descendant of William Randa. He was the senior operative of APEX responsible for funding and organizing the CE 57 APEX-NASA Expedition to Skull Island. He currently serves as the Chief Minister of APEX.
Jack Driscoll
Dr. Musashi Saito
Suzanne Watson
Dr. Vincent Denham (deceased) - descendant of the deceased filmmaker Carl Denham. He was APEX's paleobiologist that went to Skull Island in CE 57. He, himself, died sacrificing his life to save the lives of the CE 57 APEX expedition from the alpha Skullcrawler, Ramarak or Chiros.
Dr. Jack Denham - son of Vincent Denham and chief geneticist of APEX.
James Conrad
Nora Harrison
Dr. Ilene Chen
Dr. Ling Chen
Dr. Rick Stanton
Director of Newtype Studies, Dr. Miki Saegusa - A Newtype psychic and the head of the institution for Newtypes. She is noted to have a strong telepathic bond to Godzilla, which could be described closest being to that of a sibling relationship like brother and sister. Out of all the APEX members apart from Akira Serizawa, she is the one to have the most empathy and compassion for the King of the Monsters, often serving as a moral reminder to anyone in APEX and to those outside of the organization that Godzilla is not just a ferocious, rampaging monster that has to be eliminated or contained. She is the unofficial soul of APEX.
Dr. Akihiko Kashiwagi
Dr. Stephen Spielberg - The Chairman Director of APEX
Dr. Ian Malcolm - former mathematician professor turned APEX member who specializes in ecological mathematics with one of his famous works being "Chaos Theory". If Akira represents the belief set of APEX, Feldt the heart, and Miki the soul, then Malcolm would be reason/mathematical logic. Paraphrasing from one of the essential tenets of the Chaos Theory, complex systems like Titan ecosystems have an underlying order that cannot be accurately measured and predicted as it is a linear system when it is actually a non-linear system, making the whole attempt to predict its direction moot and nearly impossible. Chaos and confusion are aftereffects of the tiny imperfections to the initial conditions in a complex system being sensitively dependent to the state of those conditions.
Malcolm is mostly critical of the Earth Sphere, even the PLANTS under Lacus' leadership, in how they overreacted to the Titans as their attempts to control and/or destroy them would be like trying to control a tornado, which is in essence a silly and dangerous exercise in futility trying to control uncontrollable forces of nature. However, he is critical even of APEX at times for the same reason when it comes to the organization's methodology of studying the Titans while trying to contain them.
While he might not be the most popular scientist in APEX as his personality is quite boldly divisive and grinding to those that tend to follow a more linear perspective, but his surprisingly smart-aleck personality holds even more shocking kernels of wisdom behind his theory. It is that aspect of him that keeps APEX grounded at times from falling into the control freak-esque tendencies that many national institutions often fall prey to in coping with the reality of having to share the planet with these giant prehistoric beasts, which once ruled Earth long before man came to the scene and will continue to do so long after humanity would be gone.

Ikari Takamori
J.A.K.E. Omega (Jungle Action Killer - Experimental Robot) - the last of the series of super soldier robots designed and created by scientists of Project Terminator to aid the economic bloc during the Reconstruction War that would later become the Atlantic Federation in the aftermath. They were quite prominent in usage with many atrocities on the battlefield inflicted by these humanoid war robots that more often than not turned the tide of battle in the proto-Atlantic Federation bloc military's favor. When the Reconstruction War ended, some of them were decommissioned with most being relegated to security and construction roles, but came the First Alliance-PLANT War, production on the Project Terminator war robots resumed and they were brought back to being on the front lines.
However, the destructive capabilities and weaponry of ZAFT's GINN quickly made them obsolete starting with the Battle of Victoria despite it ending in victory for the Earth Alliance and then onwards with the huge nail in the coffin being the Neutron Jammers dropped by ZAFT in the April Fool's Crisis. These Terminator JAKE Robots quickly fell out of favor with the Earth Alliance top brass as the war wore on when they focused on Mobile Suit development. Many, if not, all of the Terminator JAKE Robots were scrapped and re-used for parts of the Earth Alliance's Mobile Suit series called the Daggers. Terminator JAKE Omega was the last of the robot series that fully fought in combat in the Battle of Kaoshiung. Afterwards, he was about to meet the same fate as others before him before an Earth Alliance soldier, trying to avoid capture from ZAFT soldiers, encountered him by accident, reactivating his program. Omega saved Ikari's life, killing the pursuing ZAFT soldiers before the two finally escaped from Taiwan. Stranded out in the middle of the sea near the Ogasawara Islands, the two were finally saved by APEX agents patrolling the area in proximity to their hidden underwater base.
Ikari and Omega later joined APEX with the latter having his core AI reprogrammed as part of the organization's IP, now recognizing only those part of APEX as friendly. People outside of the organization are to be monitored and if deemed to be a threat to APEX, Omega would terminate them with deadly force. He and Ikari were later assigned as part of the G-Team, a specialized group of the best soldiers that combat the Titans. Since then, he has been the heavy tank, or the weapon specialist of the team thanks to APEX consistently updating him the state-of-the-art military hardware and software technology, and weaponry that enables him to tank serious hits from giant monsters and mobile suits alike and keep going for a very long time while hitting back twice as much.

KINGDOM OF AZADISTAN
After the breakup of the Earth Alliance and the subsequent fall of the Eurasian Federation after being abused dearly by the Atlantic Federation in the Second Bloody Valentine War, this Middle Eastern province that was once under the Eurasian Federation's roof quickly gained its independence, becoming a nation in its own right with its territory being established in lands of what were once Iraq and Kurdistan. However, because of the economic collapse that was somewhat stable under the Eurasian Federation prior and during the First Bloody Valentine War was destabilized by the abusive campaign of the Atlantic Federation in the Second Bloody Valentine War, it was in a deadly war with other Middle Eastern provinces beginning their own aggressive campaigns to establish themselves as legitimate nations at the start of CE 75.
As Azadistan clearly began to dominate the eastern half of the Middle East while Jordan dominated the western half, the only obstacle in Azadistan's path towards becoming a kingdom was the province of Krugis turned into the short-lived Republic of Krugis. The Republic of Krugis (Setsuna F. Seiei's homeland) was defeated around CE 78 and assimilated into Azadistan's territory.
The assimilation of neighboring countries only added more complications to Azadistan's rise as a national kingdom. Their attempts to increase their political influence only created civil unrest as their campaign influenced the creation of the KPSA, Krugis freedom fighters. Child guerrillas were used to combat Azadistan's mobile suits. Negotiations went in between resistance and eventually people of the Republic of Krugis were given citizenship of Azadistan. The war ended with the formation of the Kingdom of Azadistan, the western Constitutional Republic of Jordan, which covered lands that were Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, the western half of Syria and northern parts of the Sinai Peninsula. Most of the central and southern lands of the Sinai Peninsula has become the Saradia Kingdom.
Azadistan in the following years began seeking foreign humanitarian and economic aid. Following the national parliament's declaration of monarchic rule, the elected Princess Marina Ismail has been at the forefront of outward diplomatic negotiations and political reform in CE 83. As of C.E. 93, Azadistan continues to negotiate and seek foreign assistance in its struggle to survive economic hardships. Fortunately, ZAFT under leadership of Lacus Clyne-Yamato, Orb Union under Cagalli Yula Attha-Zala, the newly reformed Atlantic Federation under President Eisenhower, and surprisingly even Azadistan's western rival, Constitutional Republic of Judah, were receptive towards lending assistance, but the interference of these nations wasn't welcomed by Azadistan's religious conservatives.
However, the recent awakening of the Titans thanks to the infamous Titan incident of San Francisco in CE 85, the subsequent public acknowledgement of APEX's existence, and the rise of a major paramilitary eco-terrorist organization called the Red Orochi in CE 88 forced Azadistan's potential allies to focus their efforts elsewhere. The only superpower nations that are giving limited assistance to Azadistan are the Atlantic Federation, the Constitutional Republic of Judah, and ZAFT, but their relief efforts have proven to be short-lived and not as effective as many hoped for due to the interference of APEX's global expansion, and increasingly intrusive presence of the Red Orochi and its affiliates getting in the way by weapon and drug smuggling to local Middle Eastern terrorist groups and the remaining international pro-Natural ones to continue their reign of terror.
The Eurasian Federation was unable and unwilling to help the struggling Azadistan as the Federation was reduced to just easternmost members of the Warsaw Pact (Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia), post-Soviet States, and Heilongjiang Province, which cut down their resources and manpower by significant levels. That's not even mentioning that the Eurasian Federation is having so many internal problems to the point that a civil war might be on the horizon. Most of Europe had formed the current AEU, with the exception of Britain, and Ireland being part of the Atlantic Federation while Italy, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Poland became neutrally independent nations. Hokkaido had been taken back into the fold of the Republic of East Asia.

RED OROCHI - Advanced Paramilitary Eco-Terrorist Organization
The Red Orochi is the most powerful terrorist organization in the world that arose in secrecy for some unknown period of time. They came into the public spotlight after Godzilla and the Rodans' battle with the MUTOs and Megaguirus and APEX's existence becoming public knowledge. The Red Orochi's goals are unclear, but has gone to great lengths to make sure ZAFT, Orb, and the Atlantic Federation failed in containing or eliminating the world's monsters. They seemed to be attacking military bases, and terrorizing nearby towns and cities while using this as a smokescreen to systematically eliminate any APEX support facilities outside the Titan Containment Outposts to secure them for unknown reasons other than releasing the dormant Titans and unleashing them onto the world.
The Red Orochi is led by General Ryu Himura, who is better known as Orochi Commander.

ARC KNIGHTS - Counter Reactive Paramilitary Organization
While the true origins of this private paramilitary organization are currently unknown, it is safe to state that this was a reactionary vigilante group in response to the San Francisco Incident on CE 85, the perceived inadequacy of Earth's top superpower nations struggling with the public revelations of APEX and the Titans, and the shocking rise of the Red Orochi in CE 88. Rising around at the same time as the Red Orochi, the ARC Knights' ideology is the pursuit of completely ending any form and source of armed conflicts, regardless of whether they are human or Titan; direct or indirect. It acts upon the advisory of a council of powerful individuals and its preferred mode of operation resembles guerrilla tactics and maneuver warfare against Mobile Suit armies and terrorist groups. They target Orochi operations for most of the time, but the ARC Knights are not above fighting ZAFT, Orb, the Atlantic Federations forces, and even APEX if they deem them to be part of the problem. When it comes to any reawakened Titan emerging from its period of suspended animation onto the world, the organization would utilize rather underhanded, questionable tactics that sometimes endanger innocent lives caught in the crossfire for the sake of eliminating or driving away the larger threat of a rampaging giant creature, though one of the main founders claimed that it is a measure of last resort in a worldwide broadcast announcing the organization's existence and intentions.
Many people of Earth began a love/hate-like relation with the ARC Knights. Some people, Lacus Clyne-Yamato and Kira Yamato of ZAFT, Cagalli Yula Attha-Zala and Athrun Zala of Orb, Marina Ismail of Azadistan, and many members of APEX, believe that they only worsen the situation by creating unnecessary conflicts with everyone, potentially provoking a dormant, or active Titan like Godzilla into lashing out at humanity. The group has received mixed levels of opposition. Civilian protest groups have held rallies against them, Red Orochi, and sometimes, APEX, the world governments have attempted to stop them through military force, and the Red Orochi conducted vicious terror assaults on them, even going so far as to resort to executing personal raids and attempted assassinations on prominent personnel. Nevertheless, this organization is determined to correct the mistakes of the superpowers and APEX, and fight the Red Orochi and the Titans without being restricted by the boundaries of the law to protect the world from eating itself... no matter what it takes.

Lowe Guele - senior technician of the Junk Guild, pilot of the Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai, good friend and reliable ally to the Yamatos; he is also the one that rescued a very young, traumatized Feldt from being murdered by a short-lived pro-Coordinator terrorist group that killed her real parents, Marlene Vlady and Ruido Resonance, who were former Atlantic Federation test pilots secretly working for Dr. Noah Atherton. He was also the one that persistently convinced Kira and Lacus to adopt the girl in the hopes that at least they could provide her a good life filled with love, peace, and safety in a more stable environment than either her actual parents, he, or Junk Guild could provide. Over the years, Lowe kept in contact with Clyne-Yamato family to see how things are with them, especially Feldt. Thus, he was incredibly shocked one day on CE 91 to hear from Kira finding out that Feldt became part of the Titan-studying scientific organization, APEX, when one of her college professors, who was secretly working for APEX, appealed to her deep fascination and obsessive love for nature and the Titans to join the organization. Since then, he has become suspiciously wary and cynical of APEX, despite attempted assurances from Akira Serizawa and Samantha Graham.
Asagi Caldwell-Dunkelman - once an inexperienced test pilot of the MBF-M1 M1 Astray and leader of a trio of inexperienced pilots, herself, Mayura Labatt, and Juri Wu Nien. Thought to be dead, all of them actually survived, albeit barely hanging on to life by the skin of their teeth as they drifted within their cockpits in space. They were rescued by the Junk Guild that happened to be passing by. They were placed in healing capsules to basically place them on life support by "The Professor" until the Kusanagi found them days later. They recovered, but because of the trauma they suffered from their near-death experience, the three women went their separate ways. Asagi became a wanderer without purpose as she wanted to get away from war in general also because the home she grew up in was long gone. Most of her friends had now either abandoned Orb or were killed off in the ensuing calamity. She also became haunted by nightmares of her battles, and the family and friends she lost during the First Bloody Valentine War whenever she tried to sleep.
She snuck onto a cargo ship that was meant to take her to Australia in the Oceanic Union. However, when the ship tried to detour away and outrun from an incoming party of pirates, it had unfortunately sailed into a colossal, turbulent wall of storms surrounding the infamous Skull Island. The cargo ship was tossed fro and about in the extremely choppy seas with the thunderstorms bombarding it, damaging it. The ship crash-landed on the shore, and Asagi was forced to survive in the most unforgiving wilderness where gigantic prehistoric reptilian monsters and other evolutionary bizarre nightmares roam, mutate, and kill one another with only a large knife, a handgun, and a machete to go by along with a flask of water. She later had to ditch her depleted handgun when she acquired a katana from the skeletal corpse of a Japanese soldier from World War II while she would learn the necessary survival skills and enhance her combat melee skills to build a tough survivalist spirit along with a sharper mind and senses to cope with the primal harsh reality of Skull Island's Titan ecosystem.
This was where she encountered and sometimes came into conflict with the indigenous alpha beast-gods or Titans such as Megaprimatus kong (King Kong), Gorosaurus dynastes (Gorosaurus), Golgothusaurus cranius (Skullcrawler), Sanguinychus kamakirasu (Kamacuras), Emperor Cobra, Gaw from the Venatoraptor stock, Lizzie from the Piranha Croc species, Zinogre, an ancient, cunning alpha of the Thunder Wolf Dragons, the brutish Sauron from the Vastatosaurus rex, the regal Sharptooth from the Gladiotyrannus imperator, Shere Khan of the Icarus Tiger species, Armadon from the Ogreceratops, Old One from the pterosaurian Tree Walkers, Slither from the Malvolusaurus clan, Great Roc from the eagle-like Roc species, Littlefoot from the Brontosaurus, Hathi from the Oliphaunt species, etc.
Apart from the many florafauna monsters threatening to kill her at every corner, she encountered a survivor of an Atlantic Federation ship crash, Argus Dunkelman, the captain of that very ship. At first, the relations between the two were awkward at best, hostile at worst when they have no other choice but to rely upon each other to survive. The two eventually warmed up when they have adapted to each other and known one another after so long to the point they became romantically intimate, helping Asagi overcome her own inner demons as well as Argus overcoming his.
Two years later and the world was in the midst of the Second Bloody Valentine War. By that time, Asagi and Argus have consummated their relationship, and did the best they could to thrive in the hostile ecosystem with the help of the native Tagatu tribe they had befriended. The two were later retrieved by a couple of APEX agents. They would later return to Orb after turning down an offer from Chairman Dr. Stephen Spielberg to join APEX. By then, Orb was under attack by ZAFT. APEX secretly released the couple onto Onogoro Island amidst the chaos where Asagi managed to take hold of the newer model of the Murasame, and join the fray while reuniting with Juri and Mayura. The three fought together alongside the Three Ships Alliance against Chairman Durandal's Destiny Plan.
That and after giving birth to her daughter, she retired from the military to take care of her while her husband became a citizen of the Orb Union and joined Orb's naval forces.
However, her period of peace with her family was starting to crack when the San Francisco Incident of C.E. 85 occurred. It made what she discovered from Monarch's abandoned research base become more and more likely true with each passing second. Then came more recent events such as the awakening of the bio-cryogenic, ankylosaur-like Titan, Anguirus in Siberia in CE 87.
The subsequent three-way battle between it, Godzilla, another Rodan, a younger offspring of the first two Rodans in Wyoming that resulted in the eruption of Yellowstone's supervolcano with the geothermal radiation of the magma contaminating almost all of the western and southwestern parts of the United States, which awakened more ancient Titans from eons of dormancy as well as mutated the American megafauna into Macro monsters/minor Titans, diverging into new giant-sized subspecies of the regular megafauna in CE 87.
It was finally the rise of major paramilitary organizations, Red Orochi and the ARC Knights in CE 88 that arose in reaction to the awakening of the Titans, which has forced her out of retirement to rejoin Orb's military to hopefully prevent the coming apocalypse that she saw long ago depicted on a cave wall painting.
Currently the pilot of the MBF-Y917A Raiden. Her current rank is Lieutenant.
Mayura Labatt - friend and teammate of Asagi and Juri. After having barely survived the second battle of Jachin Due and recovered, the three went on their own separate paths after having been dealt with traumatic near-death experiences that shook them dearly to the core. Mayura quit the military and tried to join back into judo and/or boxing where she had been in college prior to becoming a test pilot, both out of desperation to earn some money to pay for her apartment rent and to block out the nightmares she had been having lately in her sleep. However, her PTSD interfered with her life in multiple ways that ruined her job search many times. One night, she went to drink the daylights out of herself, but having done that, she had gotten into a serious brawl with many of the juvenile delinquents and troublesome gangsters. Though at first, she knocked out a good number of the punks cold, she was eventually overpowered by sheer numbers when Onogoro Police Department Force finally showed up and arrested everyone involved, including Mayura.
Mayura was placed in jail while the world outside her changed for the worse during the Second Alliance-PLANT War. However, even with depression and PTSD gripping her tighter and tighter on her being, she refused to go down without a fight. She worked out whenever and wherever she could, jail cell, gym...it didn't matter to her. She used whatever weight, dummy, ton-gallon cans, and punching bag she could get her hands on just to survive and stay sane in such a not-so healthy environment. Her being ripped after working out on a self-made routine not only helped her get over her inner demons, but it also earned her the respect of the criminal convicts in the penitentiary. She became the de facto trainer of the gym, helping them exercise as best as they could like she did like some form of regimented lean diet and workout routines, gradually seeing more energy gains and more lean muscle mass.
When she was finally released from prison, Orb was under attack by ZAFT for harboring Djibril.
Mayura, though tempted to give into her temptation to run and hide, instead decided to run towards the danger. Upon reaching the hangar with everything in chaos from the lack of confident leadership from Yuna Roma Seiran, she stole one of the newer models of the Murasame and piloted the mobile suit. She fought against every invading ZAFT mobile suit that came across her way until Cagalli's arrival in the Akatsuki Gundam and the subsequent intervening arrivals of the Archangel, Strike Freedom, True Justice, and finally her old teammates, Juri and Asagi, turned the tide. Mayura, Asagi, and Juri fought together in the Battle of Messiah just like they did in the First Bloody Valentine War, but only this time stronger and more mature than they were before.
After the war was over, Mayura, after through days of negotiations and legal paperwork regarding the black mark on her record, was finally reinstated back into the Orb military, promoted to Leading Private due to her heroic actions. She'd eventually work her way up to Ensign.
Formerly pilot of the MVF-M11C Murasame; currently piloting the MBF-M47G Harada.
Juri Wu Nien - a former test pilot of the Astray in the First Alliance-PLANT War, who then went on to work as a programmer in Morgenroete throughout the Second Alliance-PLANT War until ZAFT came onto Orb's doorstep. At first, Juri was hesitant as the trauma from her near-death experience was still a scar that hadn't fully healed in spite of the years she spent working to get away from it. However, it was the death of her boyfriend that snapped her out of her petrifying fear. Driven by rage, regret, guilt, and sorrow, she took one of the Murasames that had not been launched yet and piloted it better and more aggressive than when she was in the Astray. She was clamed and relieved when she saw her old friends, Mayura and Asagi return to the battlefield after not meeting them for two years. Renewed and encouraged, Juri fought harder alongside her teammates with the trio reunited to help Cagalli, Kira, Athrun, and others of the Three Alliance Ships turn the disastrous tide of battle around in Orb's favor.
She also participated in the Battle of Messiah as well along with Asagi and Mayura with the battle ending in victory for the Clyne Faction.
Since the end of the Second Alliance-PLANT War with the relationship between ZAFT and Orb reconciled and re-forged, Juri went on to become Chief Engineer of Morgenroete's Shipbuilding Section B while Murrue became the Senior Advisor of Morgenroete.
Currently the pilot and owner of the MBF-M35C Nobushi.
