CHARACTERS AND MECHA APPROVED APRIL 17th
Name:
Hanzo
Gender: Male
Age: unknown
Allegiance: Fandom (Dark Star Reapers)
History: A man who first made his appearance through the initial battles of the Federation-Fandom war. Rumored to have been brought into the CE universe via the dimensional gate, Hanzo is a man of deadly piloting ability and a member of the limitedly-known but all-powerful Dark Star Reapers. His fighting style is an unusual one, built around his principle to never rely on firearms to fell any enemy. As such, his mobile suits are always outfitted exclusively with melee weapons. It was assumed that this foolhardy sense of nobility would be quick to see him killed, but Hanzo has in fact, over the course of his career, built up a kill count that exceeds that of most mobile suit battalions. It is his unprecedented skill with blades that he has to thank for that. He has yet to determine anybody who could possibly match him in melee combat except, perhaps, for his Nova Prince.
However, despite these accomplishments, Hanzo’s notoriety among the Fandom remains relatively low, with only a few sparse details being tossed around here and there through rumors. This is due to the fact that Hanzo acts entirely alone and out of the eye of the regular forces for the most part -– only occasionally working in tandem with his fellow Reapers – his existence having been determined to remain a secret from all save the most privileged of individuals.
Rarely ever without his custom-crafted suit of samurai-style armor, no man has ever been a witness to his true appearance. Also never parted from his person are his set of seven blades -- two wakizashis worn at either side of the hips, four Katanas worn on the hips and across his back, and a single extendable naginata also carried across the back. It is with these weapons that he is quick to lay waste to any challenger, even while outside the cockpit of his mobile suit.
Nobody is certain as to what motivates him to partake in mobile suit combat; he expresses little emotion other than a constant burning passion for battle, although that very well may be all there is to his persona to begin with.

Name:
Diablous
Gender: Male
Age: unknown
Allegiance: Fandom (Dark Star Reapers)
History: A being born and bred for the sole purpose of combat, several portions of Diablous’ body have been modified through a combination of genetic engineering and physical augmentation. His forearm length is nearly double that of a normal human to give him extended range in hand-to-hand combat. The claws and talons built into his armor serve as effective cutting weapons, and he is extremely fast and agile across the ground. Diablous is also rumored to boast some sort of unusual weapon inside his chest, but nobody has ever been able to verify this fact and live to tell about it. In addition to all this, he is also a competent pilot of his custom Hamma Hamma mobile suit.
Despite his incredible range of physical prowess, the long periods of augmentation have had an adverse affect on his mind. He no longer communicates intelligibly – merely in series of vicious grunts or growls – and possesses extremely violent tendencies towards anybody who happens to be near him, even his own comrades. Thus, Diablous is more often than not kept locked away securely until his services are required, and even when released great care must be taken to avoid provoking his wrath. However, , it does not take much to set off the Reaper’s temper; as a few have found, there is usually no chance to learn from their mistake before a claw or talon finds its way into some part of the unfortunate’s body.
Many often forget that a man does indeed reside behind the mask. Unfortunately, any trace of his humanity has long since been lost to the flow of time. However he may have started, Diablous is now a creature more akin to a monster than a man, and is apparently eager to play out his role as such.

Name:
Gabriel
Gender: Male(?)
Age: unknown, appears mid-twenties.
Allegiance: Fandom (Dark Star Reapers)
History: The third member of the Dark Star Reapers, Gabriel, like the other Reapers, is one that does little else but partake in battle. Unlike Hanzo, however, Gabriel is one who takes great pride in character and expression, at one time being described as an “uncommon romantic” by Cain. Hanzo, however, finds the term “pervert” to be a far more accurate descriptor, and Gabriel has thus far voiced no objection to the label.
Though his dossier lists him as male, many suspect that he chose this simply because there was no
??? option to be had. The true nature of his gender has often been called into question; he has a very slender figure –- far too slender to belong to any man, many have asserted -– delicate features, beautiful hair, and acts, talks, and sounds very much like a woman. The frequent advances that he makes towards persons belonging to both sexes do not help in resolving the matter. When questioned directly, he merely laughs it off, or playfully asserts that it his most cherished secret. It is hardly a laughing matter though –- anybody who has attempted or even succeeded in finding anything out has not ever lived long enough to report on the matter.
In addition to the skill he possesses with his custom Jagd Doga, Gabriel is also a talented practitioner in normal melee combat. Gabriel utilizes a seemingly-limitless supply of knives to lay waste to his opponents in open battle; he wields the weapons both in a standard fashion and by throwing them at his targets. In further addition to this, there have also been reports of him utilizing some form of black magic to kill his foes, though any specifics regarding this matter remain to be further documented.
Like Hanzo, Gabriel’s reasons for partaking in battle remain shrouded in mystery. One might assume, however, that he garners some sort of enjoyment out of it –- when immersed in the heat of battle, Gabriel’s state of mind always appears to be one of pure bliss.
