Hello, everyone. Vance advertised the RP as in need of more players, and I thought I'd try my hand.
I'm a big fan of Gundam, and Real Robot anime in general, and I have extensive RP experience. I hope that it comes through in my posts, and that I fit in well with the rest of you.
I apologize if I take a while in posting. Generally I check the site every day, and try to get posts up at least once or twice a week on average, RL permitting. I always try and check on on the OOC thread if I think I'm going to be delayed or there's an issue too.

Biography:Rowan lost both his mother, and his sister after the One Year War, when Zeon Remnants dropped a colony on North America as part of their Operation Stardust. His father, a veteran of the One Year War, was left crippled by the same action.
Rowan was in space at the time, serving onboard a Salamis-class cruiser as a GM pilot, and could do nothing to stop the colony from falling to Earth, only participate in the ongoing battle against the Delaz Fleet.
Following this, he refused to become part of the Titans, and disapproved wholly of their heavy-handed methods and aggression against anyone showing any kind of dissent or differing opinion. Eventually, he found himself disillusioned with the EFF as it had become and drifting within his duties in the military, serving only as a means to earn money to look after his increasingly ill father.
Finally taking a stand and actively participating in resistance against the Titans on Earth, he ended up working with and as part of the AEUG and Karaba faction that were opposed to the Titans and the Federation leadership, and went on to participate in a number of small-scale battles around the Earth Sphere.
Following the end of the Gryps conflict, he became a test-pilot for Anaheim Electronics, and remained with them for the opening blows and the majority of the first Neo-Zeon war. He was later assigned to their development and test program.
After the New Desides revealed themselves with the Pezun rebellion, he was quickly seconded as a priority to Taskforce Alpha and was due to be sent out with the first wave of reinforcements for the ships of Alpha with another S-Gundam prototype as well as other Mobile Suits and equipment.
While en route from the Lunar Surface facilities of Anaheim Electronics to the orbiting ships, he detected an incoming signal, and then heavy interference before passing out.
I hope that's okay. Regarding the mobile suits, I tried to make things balance out fairly evenly between the first and second-level suits. The Gundam Wiki states that the S-Gundam was developed from the Double-Zeta, but I think having a ZZ as my first suit was way too powerful. A mass-production Zeta seemed far more reasonable to me.Disregard, I've changed the suits over, after a bit of consideration.
I also tried to tie big events in the UC into my characters background in an indirect way; that he was affect by them, rather than participating in them in a big way. I hope that came across well.
There's not much info about his personality, but I'm thinking he's fairly driven and aggressive, maybe a bit of a hothead, but can be reflective and learns quickly from his mistakes. We'll see how he comes out in the RP.
Any ideas on how to introduce them - I could use some guidance on that. Assuming he's approved, of course.
