character info & permissions

PERSONALITY
pithy summary: high-strung space simp sentenced to 10,000 years in the friendzone for talking mad shit about this man.



PHYSICAL
black hair, brown eyes, fair complexion. average height, between 5'6" and 5'9". average weight, wiry build. aesthetic trends between military chic and dork with very little in-between.

almost always clean, unless he's returning from a mobile suit battle. smells like pressed starch, boot polish, and more faintly old sweat and a hint of acrid propellant, light but sharp.





PERMISSIONS

Hugging: if you want. Gyunei's not really the hugging type and is a trained super soldier, so unless you're someone he both knows and likes there's a very real chance it could end badly.
Flirting: if you... really want?? He's lived most of his life in the military so what he knows about romantic interaction is basically zip. Also he's either 18 or 19 so let's stay age-appropriate y'all.
Fighting: go for it. Gyunei is a trained fighter and very slightly superhuman but if your character can beat a bootleg Captain America they can probably beat him. general discussion first might be a good idea because 'holding back' isn't really a thing he does. as in, ever.
Psychic Stuff: he's a cyber-newtype, meaning he's a psychic but not an especially stable one. less inclined to drop everything and scream about the sky falling at the drop of a pin than his predecessors, but still prone to oversensitivity and poor life choices. If you're interested in doing something with this (or not), PM or comment here and we can discuss it.
IC triggers: being called a fake newtype. on a deeper level, colony drops, although the enhancing process he went through strongly repressed this.
OOC warnings: parent death, child experimentation, PG-13 anime-typical violence. generic Cluster B type behavior (impulsive decisions, fragile self-image, fixating on others to an unhealthy level) that can be exacerbated by unfortunate psychic stimuli (read:encounters with obnoxious green-haired plot devices)





WEIRD HEADCANON STUFF

- birthday is January 4. his Mobile Suit's got a bird head but he's a Capricorn through and through.

- low-key history nerd. specific areas of interest outside of canon stuff include aviation history and the history of spaceflight.

- follows a strict exercise programme to maintain muscle mass and bone density since he spends so much time in zero-g environments.

- light on his feet and graceful in space/zero-g or water. clumsy and flat-footed under non-artificial gravity.

- favorite color is green.

- originally from a side 5 colony. lost his father when his colony was destroyed in the battle of loum. he and his mother escaped but she died a couple of years later. Spent the rest of his childhood a street orphan until the Newtype labs took him in.

- not a zeon jingoist and even blamed them originally for the deaths of his parents. time and propaganda drove him to shift blame over to the feddies but his loyalty's a lot more pliable than the average zeek.

- more comfortable in military bases and hospitals than he is in casual settings. has been in fewer than half a dozen private homes in his entire life.

- generally prefers tea to coffee but keeps a stash of canned coffee in his quarters for occasions when he needs the energy boost.

- doesn't own a single item of clothing that he picked out himself. wouldn't even know how to go about buying civilian clothing since supply takes care of all that for him.

- not really any tougher than a standard human but has been conditioned to have increased physical endurance and pain tolerance as part of the cyber-enhancement process.

- Char and Nanai are the closest analogues he can remember to a father and mother but he's under no illusions about either actually giving a shit about him.

 

 

RP-SPECIFIC NONSENSE

- when Gyunei first landed on Zi, he spent six weeks straight doing nothing but training to acclimate to gravity in and out of his Mobile Suit. he still lacks the graceful movement that comes to him in his natural environment, but he's not as slow or ungainly as he would be in gravity under other circumstances (read: different scenes).

- Zoids in general spook him. machines are meant to be extensions of their pilot and the idea of them having their own consciousnesses just gives him the willies. partnering with one does not compute because the concept of pet ownership/training is almost completely extinct in the universal century.

- he refuses to eat any of the local cuisine out of fear of metal poisoning. eventually supplies will dwindle and he'll have to but he's putting that off as long as he can.
- the greenish tint of the night sky absolutes fascinates him.
