Dani watched her gun get peppered, becoming disabled. She retreated to let her shield absorb the vulcan fire. Noticing the absence of them, she peeked over her shield to see the two swords being thrown at her. Taking her disabled rifle, she threw it and fired her vulcans upon it, diverting them off her course and sending them sailing past her harmlessly.
Bracing herself against the second onslaught of the vulcans, she withdrew a beam saber from her shield, charging at Alexis's gunpla, clashing with a sword in the middle of where they were. With the two of them in a locked duel with the swords, dani maneuvered her sword arm so that her forearm was angled at Alexis's shoulder. The top of her forearm popping up, it produced a beam saber blade, threatening to impale the should of its intended target in a surprise attack.
"Right... before we wind up shooting eachother, i'm going to... well... umm.. have my friend clear the Air and hopefully solve some of our issues." Vanessa said, her eyebrow twitching. The one in the red suit was weird, the one in the other gundam looking suit was a newtype of some sort, but she felt like she was muffled... and whelp, fuck, char is here.
"Haro... care to explain?" she asked her little buddy. "Char is a military figure whom i have somewhat limited data about, none of this zaft nonesense you're talking about. He was a member of zeon, a group set out with ideals against the current form of government of the earth sphere. Originally a space colony of earth, things turned escalated into a conflict known as the 'One Year War'. This resulted int he loss of Zeon's power and the triumph of the Federation. As for personal details, he is rather famed, or infamous depending on who you ask, for his mobile suit handling capabilities and the way he carries himself in battle. Only further details denote his mask and preference to red colors." Haro read out from its internal storage device. (Vanessa's doing)
"Right... with all due respect Char... why are you in such an early suit? I know you're a capable pilot.. so why have you not moved onto a more capable Mobile suit? it's been just shy of ten years since the first known appearance of a Zaku II commander type... That and you've kinda been hiding... ummm... Please don't kill me... i'm a test pilot for the company that annexed/bought the zeon mobile suit production facilities and companies... that's why i know this stuff... and have questions... I'm not military..." she said nervously, gripping her controls tightly. Of course, all of it was open comms as well. "Oh.. and i'm Vanessa Gavrilov, Test pilot for Anaheim Electronics..."
"Vanessa Gavrilov, Kestrel Prototype, Launching!" the girl called out from her cock pit, accelerating out of the acceleration ramp of the station and into the open space surrounding it. "It's ok Nessy." she heard a voice come over the radio, it being her fathers. "No need to go so rough on the suit and yourself, we increased it's power output for this test flight, so you'll be under more g's than you're normally subjected to. We've also tried a new linking mechanism for the generators, so test it when you're ready." Her father said to her.
The girl smiled in the suit as his transmission ended. "Alright dad." she said and weaved the high performance suit in and out of the asteroid field a bit of ways away from the station. Normally G's like this would start to make normal pilots begin to black out and red out, due to the stresses they experienced. It was nothing to Vanessa really, she handled it like a champ and pushed the gundam faster, feeling at home in the suit.
"Warning Nessy, Asteroid in 900 meters, ahead on right, on intercept path with your own. Adjust course." the little blue haro fed to her from its position off to her left. She didn't need him to tell her it as she saw it and adjusted almost subconsciously, but it felt good to her that he was watching out for herself. After another five or so minutes of maneuvering, she came out of the field satisfied with the results.
"Alright dad, i'm going to test the linkage now. Stand by in three.... two... one..." she said and activated the linkage. However, as soon as she flipped the switch, her gut told her something was out to get her. she immediately set about, activating all of her scanners. She had herself and haro picking through every possible sensor to determine where the danger was coming from. As she pushed the suit forwards to keep it moving, the girl found herself feeling more and more danger creeping in from all around her.
"Vanessa, what's wrong, talk to me!" her father called out over the radio. "I see all the sensors in the suit going on, what's going on in there?" He asked panicking as she never panicked like this.
She sat back in the seat as she shook. The gundam wasn't slowing down and nor she nor haro could stop it. "Daddy... i'm scared..." she said over the calms before a bright light flashed outwards from the gunam. Once it was gone, the kestral had disappeared and there was a small twinkling in its place. _______________________________
Vanessa hadn't blacked out, there was just a bright light and then the visual sensors filled her view with the earth. The bad news was not that funnily enough. it's that she was going rather terribly fast. She glanced at the planet, sighing a sigh of releif as she saw the mountains and greenery. "Haro... we're still at earth... i don't know what happened, but we'll burn up if we don't do something." she said as she got control of herself, trying to save her life instead of figuring out what went wrong.
"Full power to the beam shield... we'll use it to absorb the heat." she said and focused on crouching behind it, angling herself with the thrusters on the kestrel properly as they began to watch the shield heat up. A nerve wracking couple of minutes later, they had airbraked hard enough that they weren't going to burn up anymore, instead, the gundam was falling at terminal velocity. "Full power to thrusters. i don't wanna become a crater on the ground now. "Aye Sir!" called our her haro now, diverting all of the available power to thrusters. she came in near one of the many mountain ranges, however, some movement and shininess caught her eyes as she came in. In fact, she was coming in directly at it. Touching down her feet on the side of a mountain, she slid down it, using a hand to start to slowly stop herself. However, it was a futile attempt as the gundam continued it's slide. "Comms lost to Station, all comms lost, no local comms except target." said Haro to her, that was something she didn't know.
Finding herself not in immediate danger anymore, she smiled and found the activity being fun, enough that she activated the thrusters on her back and skid down the mountain, surfing the ground and cutting through trees with her beam emitters. Eventually, she arrived at a clearing, digging a beam emitter into the ground, she stopped herself, just as the other gundam came through the treeline. Standing tall in her Kestral, she felt something off about the pilot, not getting into a fighting stance, but none the less, she and the gundam tensed up a bit together.
Red colors told her there was a good chance it was zeon, but it didn't have the usual curves that zeonic suits had. Having not been around other newtypes much if at all, she wondered if this was what char felt like, but doubted it. "Are... are you Zeon?" She said over open comms to the other suit, gripping controls tensely. "Are... are you the in/famous crimson comet? Are... you Char?" she asked, being the socially awkward person she was, she had no real clue on how to approach and interract with people.
Name: Vanessa Gavrilov Age: 17 Sex: Female type: Newtype Century of origin: UC Appearance:
Personality: While not a fan of war per say, she understands that at times, it has to be a necessity and is verymuch on the boat of using force and violence when she needs to. Heck, she even tried to find the competition and honor in the fighting when she tries to. Otherwise, she generally tries to be cheery and happy when she can be, trying to be sensible in even the most stressful and panicking of situations. Vanessa isn't perfect, she can get lost and even 'shut down' if you would when she gets over loaded. The awakening of her newtype abilities has led her to try and down play them to keep herself off the radar of those who would try to harm her over them, her company going so far as to covering the fact she has them, getting them stricken from official records.
History: With her mother dieing in child birth, Vanessa grew up with her father, a lead Research and Development Engineer for Anaheim electronics. He worked on the earliest of their mobile suit programs and helped with many designs that came out of them after the acquisition of the MS companies following the one year war. The loving father he was, and her being his only heir to their family lineage, he trained her in his knowledge of design and mechanics as soon as she was capable of understanding it.
Being raised at such a level by her father, she was considered his apprentice and he kept her by his side at most times. Deprived of what many would consider a "normal childhood", she was ok with it and didn't really have much regret in the way of missing out on things, convinced that all she really needed were her father and his colleagues.
Starting to pilot work machines at an age of ten and suits by thirteen, the Anaheim Electronics gave her a status of test pilot under her father, helping him test suits. It was during this time, she awakened her abilities as a newtype. With her father quickly realizing what had happened, worked it out with the company to keep her official status as a normal human. In return for this, she was officially made a test pilot and used as a newtype equipment tested for them. She didn't have an issue as she wasn't actually killing others or warfare, but more of a test bed.
A transfer to La Vie En Rose for her father, the girl tagging along ensured that they'd be a part of more top of the line projects of the company. One of these being the captured MS Gundam Gullinbursti's reverse engineering and rebuild into a Gundam Type. She was the main test pilot for the Prototype's construction upon discovery of the Shaman frame. It was a test bed for the final rebuilds of the captured units. It was built from the ground up to test choices for the rebuilding of the suit and some features they were looking to put into other suits.
Other Character Notes: Has a Blue Mass Produced Haro she's modified to have a bit more intelligence and use. Is usually her friend and one she talks to for most of her issues, given that she's a shut in for the most part. Among its new capabilities, it's capable of helping her modify blueprints and is capable of interfacing with computers. It is also much more capable in managing than the mass produced type.
Took regular classes in sword fighting with an instructor. This was due to an agreement she was forced to have with her father since the girl refused to socialize outside of her Haro.
Suit: MSW-004B Gundam (Kestrel)
2XVulcan Guns (head mounted) 2X Beam Saber (mounted in hips) Beam Rifle A specialized high-power beam rifle designed for the MSW-004 Gundam, it is the most powerful beam-type weapon of the suit. Four E-pack cartridges are stored on either side of the Kestrel's waist. Beam Emitter Mount on forearms, knees and shoulders of Kestrel are beam emitters capable of generating large beam blades. Hybrid Solid Buckler and Energy Shield A hybrid of a solid shield with heavy anti beam coating and an energy shield that comes out from the edges and center of the solid shield. It serves as a buckler when deactivated, giving her the ability to parry melee weaponry of most kinds. (both physical and beam) When Deployed, it is capable of protecting a large swath of the gundam's body if hid behind. It carries three space beam sabers in addition to the ones on the hips of the gundam itself.
Dani's stein was an agile suit, very agile at that, upon the recognization of the faster charging pattern based upon the rising particle levels coming from the suit, she dodged left. Then incoming fire upon the other suit from Sakuya's Abyssal Gunpla led her to find that there was only one person unaccounted for. her sensors picking up Alexis's gunpla moving at her at high speed, she decided to test this so called precise movement that the suit had a large reputation for possessing.
She flared her right thrusters, sending her into a leftwards cartwheel, passing over Alexis's gunpla. She looked down at the thing from her position above it, and reached out, pushing off of its head with a hand, landing and digging her feet and shield into the ground in order to stop herself. Now taking aim, she decided that Alexis would be her opponent and opened with a volly from her beam rifle at the gunpla's back.
Appearance:Normally at a height of five foot seven, she isn't the shortest girl around, but her height is usually diminished by the wheelchair she goes around in. Most of the times, she'll wear a white t-shirt with a clothy vest over it and a pair of black pants. She wears boots on her feet and doesn't mind the warmth given to her upper body b the jacket. Her hair is about midway down her back and whitish grey, usually opting to go the route of least maintenance and just brushes her hair. Due to a side effect of the experiments in the lab, her eyes are a dark and deep pink, almost red. Around her neck is a beautiful collar/pendant, with a red gem in the middle of it. In her appearance, she's lacking the helmet she used to carry around, something that would be noticeable to her older opponents and friends.
Nationality: Japanese
Backstory: Dani is what many would label a genius. IQ of 175 and surprisingly lazy. She was a normal kid outside of being bored in classes, being brought up in the us for most of her child hood, learning to speak Japanese through her mother. In school, she rather stubbornly refused to be put into advanced classes, much to the annoyance of her parents and teachers. She didn't have much of an interest of gunpla during most of her early life and was even depressed, content to glide through school at a leisurely pace but had nothing to attract her attention.
the unfortunate part of her story happens when she was eight. Out with her father, they got into a car accident, paralyzing her legs and leaving her unable to walk. The same accident caused her to lose her father as well. This left her and her mother unable to function and survive, causing them to move back to japan to live with her mother's family inside of year. Getting adjusted to society in japan was a real culture shock for her. Her mother had some traditions she had brought with her, but the new world she lived in was flashy and bright.
She was missing out on the world due to her disability and was slipping further into depression despite the new experiences, but found something called gunpla when she was eleven. She had heard the name tossed about a little, but was absolutely astonished when she saw her first fight. People were controlling mobile suits. She hadn't had a way to express herself in the realworld fully in a long time in such freedom
Diving into the world of model building, she found herself having a vent for the three years and counting of no walking. Building units with legs, she found herself cruelly being made fun of and could hear the snickering of those who saw her fighting. Her leg work was a bit clumsy and that didn't earn her any respect. So she went ahead and abandoned the legs on her gundams, choosing a tank basis for her new gunpla, which she was getting excellent at building due to so much free time and a great mind to devote to new ideas.
Eventually, she built herself the "Block" Rx-75. the tanked gunpla was a fortress of armor and firepower. The new gunpla she had created silenced those who taunted her; in the gunpla amateur scene, she became a force to be reckoned with. Over the next few years, she began developing her gunpla, advancing it and once finding it well enough, she began working on something in secret, using her knowledge and her own tinkering with the systems of her gp base before her helmet began to appear on her wheelchair.
With continued success, she got an invitation to join the gunpla summer training camp, their detection of her modified gp base causing intrigue among them. During this time, she displayed an intelligence level and engineering skills to develop a system that allowed her to "dive into her gunpla" and control it as she would her own body.
With an induction into the labs at 15, only a little older than the Time Nils was rediscovering the plavasky particle, she made a great addition to staff. Her goal was not expanding the quality of the particles, but of the more practical usage of them. Particularly, those with disabilities. With nobles goals and the support of Nilson Labs, she worked in secret with them, in development, re-emerging a few years later and climbing her way into the world cup easily. With the labs backing her and rumors floating around Nielson Laboratories was debuting something unseen before at the world cup, she was rather abuzz with the crowd.
Other information: Is in possession of a Dive system to allow her to control her gunpla with her mind and assume their forms.

Dani was confused, but then again, she felt the hands clasping her. "Pain... i... i don't know... But i don't care." she said, looking down before breaking the clasp and jumping back, readying her weapon. She clenched her fist as the pink psychoframe on the Stein was glowing brightly and fiercely. "I don't care how much it hurts, i haven't felt this alive in years. I want to keep this feeling going and everything that comes with it." she explained, clenching her left hand.
"I want to fight, senses be damned." she said, looking around and readying the rifle in her right hand. Extending the stein's right arm, she swept her gaze across those around herself. "Do any of you have the spirit to fight a cripple? I'm already knocked on my ass and have nowhere lower to go, so i'd like to push this suit to its limits and then some." she said, the sound of a smirk in her voice evident.
"Oh... right... what i was talking about earlier!" Dani said, pacing back and forth now. "I had these neurodes in my brain and i wasn't using them, so i developed a system to use them, not to make my legs walk, but to shove my head into a gunpla, so now i'm sitting here and feeling everything my gunpla feels and walking for the first time in years; it's so amazing!" she shouted happily as the stein thrusted its arms into the sky. "The only thing that is really required is electrodes planted into your brain which is highly dangerous, but since i had already had them i just had to make them work and now it is and i really need to remember i just can't ramble on like this." she said, if anyone was to look at her body as this point, she'd be sitting there, now somewhat limp as her head hung down and her arms were motionless in her lap. She was still breathing, but it really did appear like her head was ejected into her gunpla. "i still haven't figured out just how much i feel when i'm like this, but i don't care! i can walk!" she shouted as her jets activated and she flew up into the air. "AWESOME!" Dani screamed out.
"And researching into this topic, i did hear the rumors, but it's not like my body is sinking up with anything, it's that my mind is literally being projected into the gunpla! i love me!" she raved on, pulling out her beam rifle and now flying around, putting holes in random buildings.
