Name - Milo Tyranne.
Age - 24.
Appearance - Milo stands about 5' 2", with dark brown hair, tanned skin, green eyes and wide wire-rimmed glasses. He looks somewhat bookish and has a slight build, very lean, a look only exacerbated by the harsh field conditions he has had to endure. His small stature belies his almost preternatural piloting skills and combat instincts.
Rank - Lieutenant.
Affiliation - Principality of Zeon.
History - Milo Tyranne was born at Side 1, a third generation spacenoid whose family had originally come up to build the space colonies early in the Universal Century. Outspoken advocates of spacenoid autonomy and considered political dissidents by the Earth Federation authorities, the Tyrannes emigrated to Side 3 when the Republic of Zeon proclaimed its independence, bringing young Milo with them.
An intensely bookish youth, Milo developed a strong interest in robotics growing up, a fact he used to apply for a position in the Zeon Elite Force when the first Mobile Suits were rolled out in the early UC 0070s, coming in as a technician and eventually a supply officer for the fledgling Mobile Suit corps, a position which also allowed him to train in simulators and eventually in real MS. Though not a combat pilot, Milo logged plenty of hours behind the controls of Zaku Is and IIs.
When the One Year War broke out in January of 0079, Milo and many of those he worked with were gathered into a new unit, the 261st Mobile Supply Corps. A Sergeant at the time, Milo and his team were charged with ferrying supplies to the Mobile Suit pilots fighting on the front lines, eventually following them to Earth during the Drop Operations in Eastern Europe.
On Earth, things picked up quickly. By September, the young supply officer had ascended two ranks to the position of 2nd Lieutenant, and had established himself as a minor miracle worker within the overextended Zeon supply lines. His real talent, however, turned out to be piloting; on Earth, supply units often had to defend themselves from partisans and enemy vehicles, even far behind friendly lines, often putting theoretically rear-line troops and equipment into combat situations. Originally equipped only with an old MS-05B Zaku I also used by the unit for cargo handling, Milo gained ace status fighting off enemy tanks, aircraft and anti-MS infantry, ensuring critical supplies reached the front. When the unit's combat skills were recognized, it was reassigned to transport supplies to besieged positions, and saw even more direct combat, allowing Milo to request better Mobile Suits for himself and his team.
When the 261st was assigned to the Suez Canal late in the war, Milo expected a comparatively boring posting; to the contrary, he soon found himself running for his life with countless other Zeon troops after Odessa fell, fleeing into the desert to find sanctuary and a place to strike back from.
By late November, Milo had received his last official promotion, achieving the rank of full Lieutenant. He and the 261st fought all through December, ready to hold out as long as it took for their comrades fighting in space to come to their aid.
But new it is January, and the order to surrender has come...
What happens now?
Primary Mobile Suit/Vehicle - MS-06D Zaku Desert Type.
Other Information - Milo always paints his Mobile Suits with a small Royal Mail emblem on the front skirt armor, signifying his position as a supply officer. Enemy Mobile Suit pilots sometimes call him "The Mobile Tyrant", a play on his last name.
Milo also keeps a baby female Fennec fox, named Zel, which he found during the retreat from the Suez Canal; the fox was apparently born under the feet of his Zaku, where her mother dug a den to give birth in. The rest of the 261st adopted the little family as mascots when they were discovered, though sadly Zel's mother and many of her siblings did not survive a Federation attack only a few weeks after she was born.

Name - Flint Hobten.
Age - 24.
Appearance - Flint Hobten is of average build and height, standing about 5' 8" with tanned skin, non-regulation long reddish brown hair drawn back in a ponytail, and brown eyes.
Rank - Corporal.
Affiliation - Earth Federation.
History - Flint Hobten is a Federation soldier who enlisted near the start of the One Year War. A native of North America, specifically the New England area of the East Coast, Flint was vacationing with his parents and brother in South America when word came of the Earth Drop Operations on the East and West Coast. Though he agonized over his decision for weeks, young Flint eventually enlisted with the EFGF Armored Corps, though to his frustration he was not deployed to North America; instead, his unit was deployed to the European Front.
Flint's unit, the 12th Independent Armored Team, initially fought in the Type 61 Main Battle Tank, but in mid 0079 was upgraded to the new mass-production Mobile Suits built by the Federation.
An experienced guerrilla and counter-guerrilla fighter after months of combat experience, Warrant Officer Hobten has been deployed to North Africa as part of the Renfield Battalion. After the abrupt end of the war, his unit has mainly been tasked with taking the surrender of Zeon units, or if necessary, putting down holdouts who have refused the order.
Often, they only have their commander's word on which is which, which troubles the young pilot...
Primary Mobile Suit/Vehicle - RGM-79 GM.
Other Information - The rest of the 12th MS Team consists of two other Mobile Suits: an RGC-80 GM Cannon and an RX-75 Guncannon Mass Production Type, as well as a Type 74 Hover Truck support vehicle.

Username - Eschatologist.
Name - Joshua Gordon.
Age - 26.
Appearance - A man of moderate height and slender build, his welcoming face topped with a mop of short, but curly, bronze hair. He is lithe, subtly muscled from years as a pilot, with pale skin and a clean-shaven, angular jawline. His face is narrow, his eyes wide and colored a light brown, his teeth kept fastidiously clean. He spends little time out of his uniform, and wears it smartly and with pride.
Rank - Lieutenant.
Affiliation - Principality of Zeon.
History - Born on Side 3 to an upper class family, Joshua grew up during the tumultuous first days of the Zeon state, Joshua was raised by die-hard spacenoid parents, and was taught the spacenoid way of thinking from a very young age. He grew up idolizing Zeon Deikun, and upon the Republic's founding. As he grew older, he dedicated himself to the defense of Zeon, despite not believing in the new Zabi leadership. He entered military academy as soon as he was able, and joined the defense forces in the lead up to the one year war, luckily being part of the first generation mobile suit trainees. He trained his entire career for space-borne combat, and at the beginning of the war took part in several space operations, earning decoration and promotion, but due to a combination of antagonistic relations with his superior officers and a case of disobeying retreat orders, was removed from his post and pulled back from the front lines, being attached to the 261st as a ground-based mobile suit element. During the fighting on Earth, Joshua proved much less formidable than in space, but managed to regain his rank of Lieutenant, and served with his characteristic bravery and die-hard loyalty, always wanting to protect the right to escape Earth's gravity.
Primary Mobile Suit/Vehicle - MS-14G Gelgoog Ground Type. Intended to be transported by the unit to dedicated mobile suit elements. When the recipients were wiped out by Feds, Joshua claimed it, citing his experience as one of the older Zeon pilots still alive as his reason for deserving the suit.
Other Information - Joshua is brash, fiercely loyal and incredibly idealistic, an absolute follower of Zeon and its founding principals. He is an aggressive fighter and leader, is outspoken and a comfortable, if not necessarily talented, orator. He is stubborn and set in his ways, reluctant to change his ways in anything not relating to military operations.

Laytn AaromAge:
30Appearance:
Tall, with a lithe, fit, frame. His sandy-blonde hair is cropped short, framing a handsome, angular face with cool blue eyes. Laytn’s skin is naturally tan, and weathered from a life of military service. This sometimes makes his visage appear older, as well as adding an affectation of roguish brusqueness to his character.Rank:
LieutenantAffiliation:
The Principality of Zeon.History:
Laytn was born a native of Side 3, and grew up under the changing winds of Zeon Zum Deikun’s declaration of independence, the formation of the Republic of Zeon, and the philosophy of Contolism. Though saturated with the propaganda of the movement, Laytn grew up with little care for the sacredness of Earth, and the relation of humanity to it. What did seize his passion, however, was the idea of sovereignty for the space colonies, particularly the Republic of Zeon. As Side 3 declared independence from the Earth Federation when Laytn was a young boy, he was instilled with a great deal of pride, and as he grew to adulthood, the transition into military service in the name of his convictions came easily. Laytn served with the resident Side 3 National Guard regiments from the age of eighteen, until Degwin Zabi transitioned them into a full-fledged army in U.C. 0068. His former dispassion towards the doctrine of Zeon Zum Deikun paid off for Laytn during this period, as he survived the vast purges of former Zeon supporters by the Zabi family. By the time of the declaration of the Principality of Zeon in U.C. 0069, Laytn had distinguished himself as a loyal, competent, and professional soldier, and as such he was quickly swept up in the proliferation of mobile suits during the prelude to the One Year War.
At the outbreak of the One Year War, Laytn was serving as a mobile suit pilot and squad leader in the Zeon Space Attack Force. Following the devastation of his unit in the Battle of Loum, Laytn found himself in limbo during the proceedings of the Antarctic Treaty, lacking an official unit assignment. When Federation capitulation failed, and the war did not end, Laytn was assigned to the Zeon Earth Attack Force, specifically the 261st Mobile Supply Corps. At the time of the Earth Drop Operations, Laytn piloted a MS-06G Zaku II. During operations soon after the Odessa landings, Laytn’s mobile suit was destroyed in combat. With a limited supply of available mobile suits to replace his Zaku II, Laytn began piloting an older model Zaku I Sniper Type.
As the stalemate between the Federation and Zeon forces began to deepen, and the role of the 261st began to shift into a more primary combat unit, Laytn found his true calling as one of the 261st’s marksmen.
Primary Mobile Suit:
MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type—“Old Crow”
Laytn pilots an original Zaku I Sniper Type. Due to the mobile suit’s beat-up appearance, slightly glitchy mechanical systems, coupled with its seemingly uncanny ability to stay in operational condition, Laytn bestowed his mobile suit with the nickname “Old Crow.”

Lieutenant Commander (LCDR)Affiliation -
Principality of ZeonHistory -
Born and raised in Side 3, Greg McKnight was the only son of a retired Army General and a Surgeon mother. With a rigid childhood, Greg lived the life of a soldier before he became one, with exemplary qualities such as loyalty, and showed great potential with leadership. Greg was born at a time that allowed him to witness and experience the shift of power- from Colony, to Republic, to Principality; as he advanced through stages of his impressionable childhood, and upon Side 3's declaration of Independence from the Earth Federation, Greg was one of the many young men to enlist in its defense forces. Joining the national guard, Greg was one of the many to be sent to a military academy to further bring out his potential.
Showing a knack for military tactics, as well as competence in space and physics, Greg was part of the first class of pilots to test out the Principality of Zeon's brand new mobile suits. The learning curve of piloting mobile suits was brutal, and of the 250 pilots in the first class, Greg was one of the 100 who managed to pass its grueling training and orientation. Distinguishing himself as a capable pilot, Greg steadily climbed the ranks of the Zeon military as a squadron leader and eventually made lieutenant shortly before the One Year War.
At the start of the war, Greg led the a squadron in the 3rd Mobile Suit Division. His squadron, The Black Saints, made a name for themselves during the Battle of Loum. During the vicious battle, the majority of the 3rd Mobile Suit Division was destroyed, with the Black Saints being one of the few squadrons still intact. With the decimation of the majority of the Federation's space forces, Greg expected an end to the war. When the Earth Federation refused to surrender. After the Antartic treaty, the Black Saints, several other remnants from the 3rd Division, as well as a few other broken units were re-consolidated and integrated into units in the Earth Attack Force.
The Black Saints were integrated into the 261st Mobile Supply Corps, and served as one of their dedicated combat units. At first stuck with little more than guard duty for supply units, the 261st gradually shifted into a more aggressive stance, Greg and what remained of his Black Saints became vanguard of the 261st's attack units. After the fall of Odessa, the 261st remained in Suez, performing guerrilla operations.
Loathe to follow the command to surrender, having lost over half of his original squadron to the Feddies in the long fighting, Greg nonetheless reluctantly prepares to surrender himself.
