Character: Athrun Zala
Series: Gundam Seed/Destiny
Character Age: 18
Canon: Gundam Seed/Destiny follows Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala as they attempt to answer an age old question: What is war good for? Even if it frequently turns out to be “absolutely nothing,” they must come to terms with fighting being the only answer at times. Though the first to fight, Athrun finds this question the hardest to figure out. Righteous, he continually straddles a fence of uncertainty, even when the answer remains right within the reach of his fingertips.
The more reserved of the two, Athrun is a quiet, somewhat awkward, individual who seems willing to face predicaments in front of him. Willing to step into the necessary shoes is important, but sometimes he doesn’t understand what those are supposed to be. As an individual, he’s noble and forthright, a good leader and a good friend, but these characteristics don’t always lead to him doing the right thing. When he believes he’s right, he’s stubborn, but easily pushed to states of self-doubt. Perhaps surprisingly so, Athrun is able to inspire others while not maintaining that same push within himself. His need for justice, for objectivity, and for everything working out correctly often leads him astray along a path of indecisiveness. Though he usually comes to the right answer in the end, what is obvious the entire time is never the same for him. Really, though, what Athrun needs is to have logic and common sense beat into him. It works out most of the time, even if he’s an idiot getting there.
Sample Post: With all the problems I’ve come to see here, I know why Miss Sayre requested my assistance. She sent the official decree not too long ago, and asked that I come to understand everything. The goats and toucans are in an uproar, and I haven’t seen any other creatures happy. It’s because the tentacle creature wants to start a dictatorship and have the zombies as her soldiers. I haven’t seen any effort on the part of the gorillas to stop this. They all want peace and balance, and I don’t blame them. I think understanding that is why Miss Sayre summoned me here and made me the Commander of Armed Forces. I’m not sure I’m the best for this, but my experience is the reason she called me. And as for the title … I see it’s quite literal, given the gorillas’ weapons and that the zombies have none.
Ah-sorry for speaking to myself. My name is Athrun Zala, and I’ll be your Commander. Why are you waving the arms and grunting now? … That must be some kind of salute. They’re spreading the wave through, anyway. Quiet, please! We’ll need to think about the battle ahead. Even in these uniforms Miss Sayre gave us, you don’t feel much relief, do you? They’re … hardly normal uniforms, with the shorts bunching up, and the tops have no sleeves. But I believe focusing on this will make us forget the task at hand. Things will probably be more difficult. Suddenly, you all seem anxious, but … we’ll do our best.
Even then, the battle ahead is worrisome. We don’t have the right tools, and while we have to fight for what’s necessary, the path may be a dismal one. Aside from the arms, all we have are these small mobile suits, and they won’t help much. I’ve put all of them together, but ah … I don’t think throwing them at our enemy will help. I’ve already devised a plan to make them more efficient and motorized, but that will take time. Maybe when this is over, you’ll all get to have model Justice, Aegis, and Strikes to use in your victory parade as they fly on their own. At least, that wouldn’t be so bad to see.
We aren’t turning away from this now, though. It’ll be a difficult road ahead. It’ll be ... difficult to act as if this doesn’t bother you, but I’m willing to prove it’s necessary. Though all I may have is this miniature representation of Justice, I’m willing to face the brainless zombies and the ferocious Marcy! The girth of the tentacles may be too much for me to take on, but I’ll have to take the risk. I understand this is something I must do first, and I hope you’ll all come to understand you must do the same.
