Name: Jess or Sailor G Email/AIM/MSN/Y!M: jlsullivan [at] crystalrealm [dot] net, Duches77, SailorGundam06 [at] hotmail [dot] com, sailor_gundam_06 LJ: sailorgundam06
Series: Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing Character: Duo Maxwell Timeline: early AC 197 (about a month after the end of the OVA, Endless Waltz)
Personality: Duo is outgoing almost to a fault. He’s a jokester and prankster, playful, and rather loud during downtime. However, he takes missions very seriously, always carries through to the best of his ability, and is surpisingly talented at sneaking in and out of places. Despite being outwardly open with people, he keeps all his ‘friends’ at arm’s length due to severe survivors’ guilt. He’s afraid he will lose anyone he gets too close to.
Background: Duo has no memory of his parents. The earliest memories he has are of growing up with a gang of children on the streets of a colony in the L2 cluster. When the leader of the gang died in a plague, Duo took over and named himself in honor of the former leader, Solo. Shortly afterwards, he and the gang attempted to break into the Alliance base near where they were staying. They were looking for food and were caught. As a result, the condemned building they were living in was destroyed, and they were sent to live at Maxwell’s Church.
Duo was the only child that kept getting sent back by prospective parents. Father Maxwell and Sister Helen tried to show Duo that there was more to life than stealing and hiding by showering him with love and acceptance. They sent him to school. Duo often got into fights because he was called names about his hair and kids teased him for being ‘smelly’. Sister Helen taught him how to turn the other cheek when teased. About a year after he arrived at the Church, a group of rebels began fighting against the Alliance hold on the colony. The rebels took up residence in the Church and started beating on the Father and Sister when the two tried to preach peace. Duo wanted to protect them, so he ran away from the Church and tried to steal a mobile suit for the rebels so they’d go away. He returned to find the Church destroyed and everyone dead except Sister Helen. She whispered a few last words to him, telling him that Father Maxwell loved him and that God saved him for a reason before she died.
Living on the streets again for the next few years, Duo was caught stowing away on a Sweepers salvage shuttle. Impressed by his skill in getting past his sophisticated security system, Professor G decided to let Duo stay. As the engineer worked on Deathscythe in private, he trained Duo to pilot and the Sweepers taught him about mechanics and salvage.
When the orders for Operation Meteor came through, Duo and Professor G decided they didn’t want to take part in mass murder. After thwarting Duo's attempt to destroy the Gundam, Professor G convinced the fifteen-year-old to 'steal' it and go to Earth on his own. They launched early, and Deathscythe went to Earth. Duo met up with four other Gundams like his and, together, they fought against OZ and the Alliance for almost a year.
When the war ended, there were several more attempts by people to start wars and steal the Gundams before four of the five pilots decided to send them into the sun to avoid having them fall into the wrong hands. They needed to bring the Gundams back, however, when the Barton Foundation attempted Operation Meteor once again. After a few days of intense fighting, the Barton Foundation was stopped and Dekim Barton, the leader, killed, bringing an end to the fighting. Several months later, deciding that the Gundams were truly no longer needed, Duo joined two of his new friends and destroyed Deathscythe with their Gundams, helping to start an era of peace in the Earth Sphere.
Sample Journal Post: Did someone get the number on that truck? Oww... What the hell is this place? It looks like a bomb went off around here. *sigh* I guess I should take a look around... find out where I am and how I can get home.
Once my head stops pounding... Damn... that really hurt!
Sample RP: Duo shivered slightly against the creepy feeling that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. The abandoned, run-down feel of this place, while startlingly familiar from his childhood, was also exaggerated to the point of being nightmarish. It was disturbing, to say the least.
Something cracked behind him. He spun, but didn't see anyone. He narrowed his eyes, reaching for his gun just to be sure. He hadn't stopped carrying it, despite reaching the end of the war. This new situation suddenly made him glad he hadn't. Taking it in hand, he turned again, continuing on his way. He could have sworn something had moved back there... but it was just a shadow, right?
