OoC: Information Post
Name: Athrun Zala
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny
Age: 19
Affiliation: Trainer
Starter: Scyther
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 132 lbs
Blood Type: O
Date of Birth: October 29, CE 55
Sign: Scorpio
Race:Caucasian
Permission to Fourth-Wall?: Yes, but don't tell him he's fictional.
Background
Personality: Athrun is very much a person who lives by his beliefs. He signs up with ZAFT because he believes that Coordinators as a whole are under attack by the Earth Alliance, and fights for the same reason. Later, when the Archangel deserts the Earth Alliance, Athrun once again lets his beliefs dictate his actions and sides with the Three Ships Alliance. He does this despite the fact that it means going against his own father, because it's what he believes to be right. Then, again, during the Second Bloody Valentine War, he rejoins ZAFT because he believes that Blue Cosmos needs to be stopped, and feels that the ZAFT military is the best place in which to do that, then again leaves when he sees what Gilbert Durandal is really like.
At the same time, Athrun is not content to pick a belief and blindly follow it. Athrun searches for the truth. For the better part of both series, Athrun finds himself questioning what ZAFT is doing and what he is doing in ZAFT. When Lacus helps Kira steal the Freedom, Athrun decides to get to the bottom of Lacus's apparent betrayal rather than blindly follow his father's orders. This is also the driving force behind Athrun's decision to confront his father shortly after the Archangel and the Kusanagi leave Earth, and later leads him to search out Durandal's true goals.
Despite actively participating in two wars, Athrun is a pacifist at heart. Kira constantly says that Athrun once told him that he despises the whole idea of war, and this is true. He fights not because he wants to, but because he thinks he has to in order to protect his ideals and to bring about a quick, just end to the wars. Even then, he tries not to kill, at least in the second half of either series -- once Athrun gets the Justice/Infinite Justice, he shoots to disable rather than to kill.
Off the battlefield, Athrun is somewhat quiet, but at the same time, mannerly and kindhearted. Athrun himself admits he's not the best at getting to know people, but he does try. He's been raised well, and normally tries to carry himself with dignity. He knows his manners, and always follows them when he deems the situation appropriate. Athrun also loves to make things. He made a robotic bird for Kira and a swarm of Haros for Lacus. Being a Coordinator, this comes easily to him.
Athrun's manners especially surface in his dealings with women. Athrun always approaches Lacus with the utmost dignity and respect, and treats her extremely well (Lacus's infamous swarm of Haros came to be because Athrun made one for her and she said she liked it). In this vein, he's also something of a prude. After a tense scene with Cagalli trying to steal his gun, Athrun's first act after the situation was defused was to turn away, blushing, and ask her to put her clothes on (she had gotten them wet in an earlier mishap and they were hanging out to dry, so she was in her underwear). Then there was the time that he woke up to find Meer, asleep and wearing a nightie, in bed next to him. Athrun's reaction? Shout and scoot backwards, only to fall off the bed.
Last but not least, Athrun is loyal to his friends when it comes down to it. Athrun and Kira spent over half of the original series (and briefly in Destiny) on opposite sides of the war, but the entire time, each was hoping they could talk the other down and avoid killing each other. He holds his friends and comrades in very high regard, tries his hardest to keep them safe, and would be willing to lay down his life to ensure their survival.
