Personality: Gregory cares for his family more than anything always looking out for the best interests of his kids. While he mostly spends time with his daughter since she enjoys messing with random knick knacks like he does his son is the one that took after him in terms of combat. He is loyal to Richard and Ken who saved his kids when he had been separated from them during the final months of conflict. Usually comes off as being cold and rough and he is a rough individual even to those close to him but he does have moments of gentleness.

Strengths: Very physically capable, able to pilot a knightmare decently, and able to perform light work on machines. Able to observe slight details and has the reactions of a soldier.

Bio: Gregory was born in Pendragon as the son of a mechanic and teacher. He grew up in a tough neighborhood and was frequently in trouble for street fights that he was involved in while growing up. His mother was killed in a terrorist attack so he joined the military as a form of revenge. Because of his determination and loyalty to his superior officers he was able to win the respect of other soldiers especially on the battlefield. When knightmares were introduced he saw the hard work mechanics would have had to do to make something like that function and was immediately interested signing up to be in the frontlines next to the knightmares.
After a number of years of being a frontline soldier Gregory became a Warrant Officer and decided to start piloting knightmares. Although he was only a decent pilot at first at his peak he can be considered to have been as strong as any of Todoh's four holy swords. He started off piloting the old Glasgow's and when the Sutherland's were first introduced he was already a Chief Warrant Officer three and was given one of the first ones and deployed in Pendragon as a part of the Emperor's guard.
While still rising through the military he would sometimes be deployed throughout the world and in one instance was deployed to Japan where he met his wife. They married and enjoyed life together in Pendragon with their two children Jonathon and Jennifer or as his wife would refer to them Akio and Haru. However, his wife left him shortly before the war with Japan seeing him as a tool of the military for still working with Britannia after all they were doing to her home. When she left she took her daughter with her which left him broken hearted but he kept raising his son alone for the following months taking a leave from the military. Shortly after the invasion of Japan occurred his ex-wife was killed in the crossover. His daughter was nearly killed by the Britannian military but a twist of fate had it be that the squad that discovered her was the one Gregory was in charge of so she was able to be sent back home to her father. He raised his children as best as he could while rising to the rank of Captain shortly before the time the Black knights would appear. He was originally supposed to be deployed in Japan to be used as Clovis's personal guard but this was overruled by the Emperor and he was instead deployed to oversee the construction of the Specter and eventually join its crew.
Because of this he was hidden away for most of the war with his kids in the research facility the Specter was designed in. When Lelouch started taking over the military most of the original crew, former friends of Gregory's, started to turn against the others trying to kill them and take over the Specter. He was able to protect himself but his two children were saved due to the intervention of Richard, Ken, and the rebels that they already had with them who had gotten a lead on a secret project. After this he swore his loyalty to their group and attempted to defy Lelouch with them. He was the original intended pilot of the Ragnarok but Kenneth stole it before he could launch. He still launched in that final battle looking for his son who had joined and trying to protect Kenneth, Richard, and Alexis. He was the one responsible for getting Kenneth and Richard out of the combat area after grouping together with his son and the few other survivors. He was captured by Lelouch as they made their escape and held prisoner for the following two months and then released. After rejoining his family they enjoyed a peaceful life for about four years before there was a terrorist attack near where they were living. Gregory heard a description of a ship similar to the Specter having been at the scene and heard that it had helped prevent civilian deaths and made contact with Richard deciding to rejoin with his friend.

Name: Jennifer "Jen" Haru Robinson
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Half Britannian / Half Japanese
Faction: Specter
Geass: None
Appearance: Medium length straight blue hair that goes up to her shoulders. When she was younger she had a lighter complexion like her mother but she started to tan to a darker shade then her brother and she inherited her father's hazel eyes. She usually wears tight black pants and either just wears a white tank top with a red jacket over it (Kind of like the jacked Lelouch wears on downtime.) or the pants with different purple colored tops.
Personality: Passionate about what she believes in and she inherited her father's cursing habits. Although she does have a bit of a vocabulary and likes to tinker with gadgets like her dad she is reserved around people she does not know. She is not an overly aggressive person but she does get a bit cocky at her abilities as a pilot. When she was younger she looked more Japanese taking after her mother so she was frequently made a victim of racism. Her brother would protect her and she would always protect him when it came down to a fight. She always hated the feeling of not being able to protect herself when younger.
Likes: Likes to pilot, Messing with machines, cursing.
Dislikes: The military, racism, and not being able to take care of herself. She hates being called by her first name because she has built up pride for her Japanese self from the racism regardless of the fact that she hates her mother. Her pride comes from what the nation used to be and the other Japanese she met.
Strengths: Naturally talented pilot even for such a young age although she does have to rely on a backup pilot for some help every now and then. Fighting and recognizing different pieces of equipment.
Weaknesses: Knows the basic controls of a knightmare but cannot really fight in one. Around other people she does not talk much and has abandonment issues from when her mother left her.
Bio: When she was younger she enjoyed bothering her older brother for attention and always trying to play with him. When her mother and father separated and she was forced to leave she was heartbroken. While with her mother she was introduced to Japan and while she loved playing outside she missed her brother and father. Her mother was killed when their building collapsed during a Britannian raid. Her mother had been killed while trying to save herself and leaving her daughter behind. Luckily she was picked up by her father's former squad and sent back home. Once she got back home and started attending school the skin complexion she got from her mother and her hair color got her frequently ridiculed. When her brother started protecting her at first she was happy to see that he cared but then she started getting annoyed as she got older. Even still whenever it was her brother in trouble she would always step in although she would have fun harassing him when he picked on her.
She was never particularly interested in politics. While she did have her own beliefs on what she wanted to do she did not see any of the factions supporting what she wanted. She wanted an open world where people could do whatever it is that their hearts desired but she realized that there were always people that would take that to dangerous levels. When her father joined the Specter assignment she and her brother were trapped in a storage room and about to be killed when they were saved by Richard's group. She got along well with Kenneth despite her brothers dislike of him and the two would exchange friendly insults. The Specter crew joined a major rebel group against Lelouch where Alexis was stationed and Haru took an immediate disliking to how close she was with Kenneth and how she disliked Johnathon. However, Haru started to put her crush on Ken behind her and the two became friends and through her Alexis started to get close to Johnathon. After this the four of them could not be separated and Alexis was able to convince Kenneth to stop going out into the battlefield in knightmares. When the Specter was cornered Haru was intending to take one of the knightmares out to help her friends but was knocked out from behind by her brother and placed in an escape shuttle. On the flight out the pilot was knocked out and she took over control of the vessel and got them away to safety.
For a period of time after the Zero Requiem she was separated from her brother, father, and Kenneth. When she was reunited with her father and brother after being separated there was a bit of a rift made worse by the fact she had just found out about Alexis's death but they quickly regained their family bond. They rejoined the crew of the Specter and she took over as the pilot of the ship with Richard's help. For the past year they have been traveling around the world enjoying the peace and stopping any terrorist attacks that placed innocent lives in danger none of them with any real goals. When her brother left she was only able to say goodbye to him before locking herself in the room feeling abandoned once more. She was able to work her way out of her room with the help of her friend and father but has deep trust issues.

Name: Johnathon Akio Robinson
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Half Britannian / Half Japanese
Faction: Black Knights (Under Lars)
Geass: None
Appearance: Inherited his father's black hair and keeps it cut short as well keeping his hair organized into short spikes. He has violet colored eyes that he got from his Japanese mother and is slightly paler then his father or sister. He is 6'1 and works out enough to maintain a decent physical build and usually wears either a blue and black flight suit like his father used to or when casual jeans with blue t-shirts or buttoned shirts.
Personality: Usually calm and collected being influenced by both his father and Richard. He is not the best at strategy or tactics but he is smarter than the average soldier. He tries to be the voice of reason a lot although he does enjoy going along for the fun whenever someone starts something interesting. He prefers to be called Johnathon or John since he hates his middle name given to him by his mother who he has some resentment towards.
Likes: Enjoys reading, target practice, and bothering his sister as she works.
Dislikes: When people bother his sister, Racism, and the thought of not being able to protect his family.
Strengths: He is pretty good in knightmare combat and an excellent marksman. Able to remain focused in a battle although he is not much of an elaborate planner. He always follows what he believes in. Used to being in air carriers and is capable of understanding the systems inside of one and basic operations such as communications etc.
Weaknesses: Capable of fighting hand to hand decently but only knows how to use sniper rifles and pistols. His beliefs sometimes cause him to hurt people around him unintentionally. At close range with a knightmare he is at his weakest.
Bio: He was born in Pendragon and was raised there with both his father and mother until he was about ten when his mother left with his sister. When he was younger he would normally ignore his sister and her demands for attention but after having her leave for those months he realized that he missed her presence. After Haru came back he started to treat her much better and protected her from bullies that made fun of her because she looked Japanese. As she got older she started to get a more tanned skin complexion so he had to defend her less from racism but he was still always the overprotective type while trying to make it seem like he didn't care too much for her.
In the following years Jonathon watched the world and realized just how twisted everything was. The empire was a sham and destroying the world's cultures slowly and destroying the real beauty of humanity in his eyes. The black knights while it was true they would preserve individuality Jonathon was not sure what would come out of such a destructive force although he did side with them more then the emperor although he never told his father. When his father was assigned to the Specter he was with his sister when the geassed crew appeared and started killing their fellow soldiers. He was trapped in a storage room with her when they started to knock down the door and he was prepared to quickly kill his sister painlessly and then himself to prevent anything worse from happening when Richard and his group showed up saving the two of them. He started off disliking Kenneth since he saw him as a guy that might mess with his sister but quickly ended up becoming close friends with him and Alexis being able to trust them with watching his sister for periods of time.
When the Specter was finally cornered Alexis was deployed out into the field in her Shiva. Shortly after this Kenneth and Jonathon heard a scattered communication from her squad before they were all wiped out with the exception of her unit due to her geass command. They had no idea of knowing this though and Jonathon had no time to react as Kenneth ran to the hanger and stole the Ragnarok. Immediately after this Jonathon knocked out his sister and left her in the hands of the people that were evacuating the Specter deciding he could trust the crew and boarded a Vincent to try and help his two friends having seen enough people die already. He claimed his first kill that day and was found by his father and some of the other retreating units before zooming towards the Ragnarok and Shiva. He was the first one at the scene and was too stunned by seeing the corpse of Alexis to stop Richard from being injured thankfully his father moved into intercept the killing blow.
After the war there was a bit of a rift between the family due to the choices he made in joining the battle and betraying his sister's trust but it was quickly repaired after he explained his decisions to not let his friends die and noting that his sister was also planning on deploying into the field and with her skills in knightmares he could not allow that to happen. In the year following him rejoining the crew of the Specter he received a transmission from Lars to follow under his command as a part of the Black Knights. Partially because he saw a lot of himself and his father to connect with in Lars and also because he already had thoughts of joining the Black Knights if anything just to make sure that they would never become the threat that Britannia was. He left the crew of the Specter as events in Britannia and Japan came to a head and with the ban on 9th generation knightmares coming to a halt. His father did not say anything as he left and his sister was only able to say goodbye to him. As he left him and Kenneth got into a heated argument about the choices he was making where Jonathon without thinking tossed in Ken's face that no one stopped him from making his choices that ultimately got Alexis killed. His pride did not allow him to apologize instead he quickly left the Specter without another word.

Name: Annabelle Esperanza
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Spanish
Faction: Black Knights (Under Lars)
Geass: None
Appearance: Has short curly brown hair that she usually pushes up into her red baseball cap. She has blue eyes and a tanned skin complexion. Normally she can be found wearing dark green cargo pants and a dark shirt or a blue colored jean jacket with a white shirt underneath. Usually wears a headset so she can stay in communication while on foot. When the situation calls for it she will wear an all black flight suit and a pair of goggles that allows for thermal and night vision.
Personality: Surprisingly energetic considering that her profession does lie in stealth and infiltration. She is normally an extremely fast talker that people just can't get to stop talking. Partially because she talks so much and partially because the things she says are actually interesting. She is able to talk her way out of most situations. Whenever she isn't talking she is just nonchalant and waves everything off. She loves playing with different video games most of the time.
Likes: Having conversations, learning facts about people, being optimistic, and video games.
Dislikes: Dislikes assholes, kids being killed, and not having access to her electronics.
Strengths: Knightmare Piloting, Stealth, Infiltration, and Hacking.
Weaknesses: Can easily be distracted, not too motivated most of the time unless it seems fun to her, lack of combat experience, and due to her age while she has a natural talent with hacking and infiltration she needs more experience to improve her technique.
Bio: She grew up in a normal family home with both of her parents and a sister. Her father worked with electronics and her mother worked in an office. She grew up being given whatever she wanted and would waste most of her time away playing video games or looking up random facts online or playing with her little sister who she would always talk to about random facts to entertain her. As she grew up she grew interested in lock picking and quickly picked up the skill and others such as hotwiring a car in her teenage years. When she was 14 her little sister died from sickness while she was taking care of her with both of her parents having been away on her father's business trip. While on her deathbed her sister just asked her to keep talking because she loved how Annabelle could always put a smile on her face. After her sister's death Annabelle would be away from home more often than not stealing things from different stores and breaking into them usually not getting caught. While she was doing this mostly without her parents knowledge she would also try out Knightmare simulators that her father's company had within their facilities.
The war did not really affect her that much besides the threat of the demon emperor. Shortly after the war her father's company lost all of their money and they had no idea where it had all gone being dispersed into several accounts that led nowhere. By then she already had some skill in hacking and within the year she found the hacker responsible and they had charges pressed against them. While her father did not approve of her hacking and stealing he did recognize her talent and allowed her to improve her skills with hacking by using various machines from his company and also renting out a warehouse to have her practice her hacking skills in and allow her to attempt to infiltrate the building. He had figured that If she learned this she could always be safe if anyone tried to hurt her since in this day and age someone always had something to hide and with her hacking skill she could always use that to blackmail them and keep herself safe.
After her father died due to cancer Annabelle started to steal from different companies using her hacking skills to support her and her family. After a number of years she also attempted to infiltrate several black knight buildings trying to alter her records and her mothers who had been arrested for her crimes. While this was successful and her mother was released from prison this only lasted for a little while. The black knights had noticed what she had done due to small mistakes she made while in their systems and this was how Lars came to find out about her and recruit her for his team. In return she was forced to give back any information she stole from the black knights and any funds that they were able to prove that she stole. Although she had pretty much been forced into the situation she did not really mind it much since she was not treated as a criminal and still got to do pretty much whatever she wanted and now she was legally capable of hacking and doing her "spy mode" as she calls it which is just fine by her. Although several soldiers complain when she sits in her knightmare back at the base and leaves the speakers on while she plays video games and rambles for hours about random facts about life, the island, and different video games.

Name: Eli Meyers
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: From the E.U
Faction: Formerly E.U. Now Specter.
Geass: None
Appearance: A dark skinned man with short curly hair and dark brown eyes with a small beard. He has a lean muscular build and is 5'9. He normally wears shirts that cut off the sleeves completely or have short sleeves and either wears regular jeans or cargo pants with boots. His shirt has a knife sheath on the shoulder and he usually has black fingerless gloves on.
Personality: Normally quite serious and this allows him to get along with Gregory rather well. Prefers to reserve his opinions on matters but when he does decide to input something it usually makes a lot of sense compared to other options on the table. A quiet man that is not easy to anger or get a smile out of.
Likes: To be outside, reading, and training.
Dislikes: Confined spaces and spicy food.
Strengths: Hand to hand combat, above average knightmare pilot, navigation, and understanding enemy tactics.
Weaknesses: Not an ace with a knightmare, very reserved, prefers to be non-aggressive.
Bio: He grew up in a household with his mother and grandfather who both worked in the suburbs of London. He took after his grandfather a lot becoming very quiet and very observational about little details even when he was a kid noticing small things like who had left something where or where someone was hiding in hide and go seek. His family avoided poverty due to money left behind by his father who died before his birth and the fact that his grandfather had also been wealthy back in the day which left them with a large sum of money to fall back on. Growing up he would frequently just sit outside in a field with his mother and grandfather and enjoy the peace although his closeness with his family and desire for quietness made it that he did not have many friends.
The constant skirmishes with Britannia made war a constant thing for him as he grew up in his teenage years there was always the chance that one day if a full blown assault began that he would be forced into the military. Deciding that joining the military was an acceptable outcome he started to head into the main city to learn how to fight. At first he would get involved in street fights but eventually he realized he could just learn how to fight from different schools. Although he joined many different schools and trained in karate, boxing, judo, and tae kwon do none of them held any interest to him mostly because the schools were not as serious as he expected they would be although it did allow him to develop a fighting style.
When he was 22 the skirmishes started to increase in ferocity to the point of war between Britannia and the E.U. His mother had recently passed away leaving him with just his grandfather who he feared would not last long in a war torn world. Because of this he enlisted in the military hoping that if everyone who had something to protect joined like he did then the war would be over quickly in the favor of the E.U. Back then he was still young and idealistic until he saw the horrors of war frequently seeing comrades die. This made him even more reserved then before preferring not to grow attachments to other people when it seemed that they would die so easily. After a year on the frontlines as a soldier the higher ups realized the fighting potential he had when he was captured by the enemy and managed to kill two armed enemy combatants by hand when they dropped their guard. He was placed into a knightmare and while he was not the best at knightmare piloting once he was in close range he was a force to be reckoned with. In one such instance with his knightmare he engaged the Knight of Seven briefly in battle before being forced to eject unable to stop the eighth generation knightmare that was known as Lancelot. While the defeat certainly hurt his pride he respected the Knight of Seven's skill.
After the E.U lost most of its territories to Britannia Eli had fled to the south with his grandfather taking refuge in Black Knight controlled territory. During the two months before the Zero Requiem a rebel force attempted to fight Lelouch near where they were at. They were all killed off by a single F.L.E.I.J.A weapon with the nuclear device also causing Eli's grandfathers death. In the five years following the Zero Requiem Eli trained his body and took up odd jobs in the town he lived in until he met Richard Willingham while working on a construction site. The two became friends quickly after Richard showed his more serious nature and the two talked about the state of the world and the results of the war both good and bad. When Richard finally decided it was time for the Specter to move on he invited Eli to join the practically non-existent crew. At first Eli refused but when the Specter was about to leave from its docking place he showed up ready to join. Onboard the Specter he was still as quiet as always sometimes sharing advice with Kenneth, and later with Johnathon and Haru. The only time he really says more than a few short words is only when he is talking to Gregory or in a few instances Richard. He considers the Specter to be his second chance at growing attachments and protecting those that he cares for.
Name: Ken Akarui
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Japanese
Faction: New East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (Japanese Insurgents)

Bio: A comrade of Takao Yamashiro's from the JLF, Ken Akurai is a specialist in small-unit tactics and close-range combat currently acting as the NEACPS' battlefield commander in Japan's northern prefectures.
Arguably a simple man, Ken finds his greatest joy in battle, against other worthy opponents in battles involving small groups, a balance between the commander's tactical skill and the individual combative capability of him and his men. While he holds no love for them, he can respect Tohdoh and the other Black Knights as worthy opponents even as he kills them.
Holding to the ideals of a samurai, Ken is highly loyal to both Takao and Raizo, and does not tolerate traitors of any sort to the NEACPS' cause.
Name: Dmitri Rosenkov
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Russian
Faction: Russia (Special Task Forces)
Geass: none
Appearance: Dmitri has combed back silver hair. He also sports a scar on the right side of his face, from his eye and down right above his upper lip. He also has an 'X' scar on his left cheek. He wears an all black version of the Russian Federation attire, with red linings. He also has black gloves and black shoes.
Personality: Dmitri has a get the job done mentality. Working in the Special Task Force does that to a person. They are trained to lose all emotions so that they will not have to worry about emotion based decisions. Dmitri is one of the top operatives in the STF, but his emotions are not all kept in check. He will sometimes lead with his emotions rather than with his logic. This will sometimes not get the results that Vladimir would want, but Vladimir trusts Dmitri to act on his behalf on certain occasions because he feels that the results would speak for itself.
Likes: Missions, stealth, reconaissance, yogurt
Dislikes: Lancelot, Britannians, Black Knights, Japan, UFN
Strengths: He is a great Knightmare Pilot and he is also a good tactician. He is able to think quickly on his feet and help move his men into positions that would help them succeed in their mission, sometimes without losing anyone in the process.
Weaknesses: The fact that Dmitri isn't the STF typical operative with his emotions in check, Dmitri will sometimes allow his emotions to make the decisions that logic would be the best option.
Bio: Dmitri enlisted in the army at the age of 18 straight out of High School. When he did he was assigned to be a foot soldier. When the Panzer Hummels were developed he was assigned a Knightmare. However, this would be the last time in a while that he was able to pilot one. His first assignment was to defend the Eastern Coast against Schneizel. Vladimir was giving support to Eastern EU, but the Lancelot piloted by Suzaku deicmated the forces. Dmitri was one of the last to be defeated before the battle was over. He was able to make it back to Russia, but came back a defeated man as he believed he was one of the many reasons why Britannia was gaining land in Europe.
Vladimir convinced him otherwise saying that the EU would never be significant if it couldn't keep up tech-wise with the rest of the world. Vladimir then sponsored Dmitri to be recruited into Russia's Special Task Force. Dmitri was accepted and did outstandingly well in the group. There were murmurs within the group that Dmitri was too different from them and this caused tension between him and the rest of the group. However, it was his success that allowed him to gain the respect of his peers, regardless of the fact that he did not agree with destroying his emotions in an effort to better his nation.
When Vladimir took power, Dmitri had already became the top operative outperforming everyone else. Dmitri had been stationed in Mongolia since Vladimir's rise to power, but did not know until before Vladimir's meeting in the Vatican City...
Name: Okami Akarui
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Japanese
Faction: New East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (Japanese Insurgents)
Geass: N/A
Appearance: 5'7, close-cropped brown hair, brown eyes, Digital Urban Combat fatigues, black combat boots
Personality: Loud and rambunctious, talkative (genki boy)
Likes: Guns, dango, hot women, ninja
Dislikes: Swords, samurai, other talkative people, authority
Strengths: Long-range combat, sniping, fast-paced gunplay
Weaknesses: Teamwork, close quarters combat
Bio: Ken's younger brother, Okami is a rude and rather disrespectful teen who takes far too much interest in guns if you ask his family. He's highly individualistic, and doesn't work well with others in part due to his talkativeness and mostly due to his rudeness. It's a miracle if someone can stand him for more than a day before attempting murder, suicide, or both.
Due to these and his brother's influence, he's typically deployed either alone or with a single spotter in an Akatsuki Saiku.
Name: Benjamin Venator
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Faction: Neutral (Freelancer Mercenary)
Geass: Absolute Cognition
Appearance: 5'10", dark brown hair tied into a ponytail down to his neck, wears black business suit with maroon tie and dress shoes.
Personality: Smug, sardonic, and laid-back
Likes: Burgers, Knightmare Frames, root beer, conflict, and money
Dislikes: Anarchists, money-grubbers, kids, moral guardians, and politicians
Strengths: Evasion (both physical and political), Coordinated tactics, sneaking around
Weaknesses: Direct combat (both on a personal level and in Knightmare combat)
Bio: Benjamin Venator is a rather shifty individual, almost always grinning in a fashion that most seem to find maddening. His public record is rather bare, but anyone in the mercenary business can tell you that he's an effective, if expensive, combatant, using guerrilla strategies and hit-and-run tactics to wear down opponents from numerous positions. They'll also tell you he's damn impossible to corner.
What 'they' don't know is that this is due to his Geass, given to him eighteen years ago by an Immortal called 'C.C.'. The Geass of Absolute Cognition gives him perfect awareness of everything within 250 meters of him. The time between his initial contract with the Code-Bearer and now has seen his Geass become permanent and evolve to its present state.
His most recent operation was one that saw him infiltrate a weapons testing facility in Britannia that, at the moment, was fine-tuning a new Knight Giga Fortress known as the 'Morgan', which Venator stole, in the process achieving the objective of the facility's destruction.
Edited, except for the contractor because I don't know any other than C.C., and I'm not sure how acceptable it would be to use her.

Name: Melissa Hisui Palmerston
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Brittanian-Chinese half
Faction: Nominally Brittanian, though likely to change sides
Geass: The ability to exaggerate a person's dominant feeling into an action; the target must be within 5 meters, and it only works once per person, and can be used once a day.
Appearance: Cute. She has reddish brown hair and wears it in high twin ponytails. She has bright blue eyes. 4ft 3in height. She wears a blue short sleeve tunic and jeans. At school, she wears the Ashford academy girls uniform.
Personality: Very optimistic, she always tries her best in everything. She cries easily though, and doesn't like when people show prejudice. She'll outstretch her hand to anyone, and is quite naive at times. If someone manages to convince her that violence is the right path, she'll do her best to fight, but otherwise she abhors violence.
Likes: To see other people being happy, snow, and flowers.

Weaknesses: She's clumsy, naive, and slow. She has a medical condition that causes her heart to beat very slowly, so if she runs around too much, she'll have a grand-malle seizure.
Bio: Daughter of Viscount Palmerston and descended from Henry John Temple, the man who signed the hundred years lease of Hong Kong. As she is from the Palmerston family but also from a Hokkien speaking Chinese family, she is fully trilingual from her mother's tutelage as well as the house Palmerston tradition of learning the official language of China. She never had a chance to live up to the legacy her ancestor left behind, as her condition of a slowly beating heart kept her often abed. Her favourite activity at that time was to read of the things everyone said she would soon be able to see. She read of all the wonders of the world, the golden age Britannia had brought to the Areas. However, when she finally convinced her parents to let her see more recent news of the world, the first thing she saw was a report of the Shinjuku incident. Wanting to know more than the obvious lie of that day, she vowed to find the truth. Hearing that, a mysterious being called "Z.Z." gave her a Geass power. In a matter of little over a month, Melissa had managed to reach Area 11 and coincidentally witnessed the obliteration of Saitama ghetto. After that, she changed her vow to "forcing Brittania to change its ways". She managed to convince a pilot of Brittania called Kewell to teach her basically how to pilot a Knightmare frame. She didn't really take to it, but she learned all the same. Six years after that incident, she has vivid nightmares about that day at Saitama. Now with her parents' permission, she officially attends Ashford Academy. She mostly studies on her own time instead of at school, and doesn't attend much.
Ok, thanks! I edited it to fix the contractor name and add a little specifics on the detail about Ashford. Thanks for approving!
There may or may not be spoilers.
Name: Michael Karkovski
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Before the rise of the Great Brittanian empire the ethnicity Vladimir would be considered as would have been Russian, though after the rise of this major empire his great motherland was absorbed into the mighty world power... In short he's Brittanian though hates to call himself one.
Faction: Ex Black Knight. After the fall of the Brittanian Empire he gave up the faction in order to make more time for his job during the time of peace... Mail man.
Geass: N/A
Appearance: Michael could be seen as an intimidating man with a rather large physical build, sometimes this tends to earn him a negative disposition when it comes to, say, diplomacy. He stands at approx. 6 feet in height, though certainly not the tallest his build easily makes up for it, his physical prowess could be said of being equal to that of an alpha when it comes to bears, though of course this is just a hyperbole. Michael's jet black hair is cut extremely short, at the sides it's been cut down to where the skin is showing beneath the few strands of hair that remain while on top it's only about an inch in total length. The black hair is matched by a set of grey-blue eyes and a black goatee. The last major note about the man's appearance is the lack of a human foot, his right leg from the knee down is completely mechanical due to having received a wound that required amputating during one of the first major battles with Brittania.
When it comes to clothing Michael is wearing a set of standard blue jeans, and a white button up shirt, beneath the shirt he's just wearing a standard undershirt, tattood onto his right shoulder Michael proudly wears the symbol of the Black Knights though now it only tends to remind him of the old him. The one that hungered for blood.
Personality: Michael is a person troubled by both his past as well as the future that he wants for himself. A man challenged by two sides of a single mind, the path of blood and the path of peace sit before him, this causes to a few psychological issues that he seems to face on a day to day basis. When it comes to open combat his mind seems to be most at ease, the challenge of life or death, fight of flight, these intrigue him to no end, it's due to these that he managed to prove some worth to the oh so wise Zero during the combat against Brittania. In terms of chess Michael is thought of as a Bishop, when used correctly his strengths outweigh the weaknesses greatly.
Likes: The thrills of combat while at the same time enjoying the odd serenity that comes with a time of peace.
Dislikes: Having to choose the lesser of two evils, this is why he chooses to follow instead of lead.
Strengths: Willing to follow orders, no matter how dangerous they may be, as long as he gets a sense of being needed then he'll do the task he's required to. Skilled when it comes to Knightmare combat, also not half bad at standard hand to hand combat but is horrible when it comes to firing a gun outside of a mech.
Weaknesses: Sucks at diplomacy
Bio: Michael was amongst those few rebels that joined at around the same time as Ohgi, back then he had very little skill when it came to anything combat related, but under the leadership of the masked man known as Zero he too began to gain a small taste for the bloodshed of his enemies while attempting to keep his allies from shedding theirs. Mindlessly he followed the instructions that he was given, of course he realized that to be used effectively he would have to have no actual connections to Zero, appear as an expendable pawn on the board, he did so by having as little contact as possible with Zero. Though when Lalouch seemed to grow power hungry and took over the Damocles he was one of the many that was to be put to death for supporting the enemies of Brittania, yet he faced his death with a sense of pride, he had attempted to assist the Japanese-11's- in a task that had taken too long to come on its own. Yet it was then when he understood the true meaning behind the mask of Zero, it was then when he realized the burden that Lalouch had carried, the bearer of the mask now had to carry it all on his shoulders. After the true end of the Zero Requiem Michael got a job during the time of peace, he became a mailman so that he may continue to follow orders while at the same time remaining connected to his friends from the Black Knights.

He holds an intense hatred for Zero, and thinks very little of Nunnally as the empress, thinking she is only cares about Britannia's foreign affairs.

http://media.photobucket.com/image/kotori%20mizuki/Minda2009/Pics%20to%20use%20for%20an%20edit/a7fafd36.jpg?o=31
Personality: Maddie is somewhat steadfast, and can come across as almost spunky. She has a very confident air around her, and will often drag her beast friend, Ron, into her given shenanigans.

Name: Yougimhei(referred to as Akari)
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Korean
Faction: Chinese Federation(formerly.) Unemployed(at the moment.)
Geass: Absolute Clairvoyance. It allows him immensive perception(read: 20/20 eyesight up to an entire kilometer) that is only enchanced with a scope(automatically triples magnification on scopes.) This makes him an immensively efficient sniper, and assassin. Other side effects include instant perception of possible paths of movement. While not exactly predicting where they will move, it does give possible paths that the target can take. However, use of this ability gives tunnel vision and immensive stress on the eyes and brain. Extended use(over 15 seconds) could cause permanent or semi-permanent brain/eye damage.(for safe use, use in 10-minute intervals.)
Appearance: Eerily young for being so old, he looks as if he is in his early thirties. Long, white hair tied in a ponytail at the end, letting the bangs at his front run free and frame his face, gives him an almost attractive look(if he wasn't so damn old...). Standing at six-foot-three, he holds muscular limbs used to holding the comfortable weight of a sniper rifle. Green eyes match his jade necklace, which is actually a tiny sakuradite grenade, banned after Zero Requiem.
Personality: A drunken prick most often, he barely maintains his once-professional personality. Now almost childish and flirty, he has long since aged from his idealistic days as a member of the Federation. His childish actions sometimes give clear to a face of serious professionality and almost jaded personality.
Likes: Pie, apple cider, knightmare frames.
Dislikes: Traitors, (other)snipers, politicans
Strengths: Piloting, Assassination, CQC(with weapon), small-scale combat, squad command/tactics
Weaknesses: Massive field combat with lots of combatants, political impressions. Awful at heavy weaponry - anything over 10 pounds. Semiautomatic/Bolt Action heavy weaponry(sniper rifles, ecetra) do not apply.
Bio: A ruthless spec ops commander belonging to the Chinese Federation, his Geass, kept secret by all but some of the highest-ranking peoples, made him an extremely effective assassin. With a VIP killcount of over 480 people, he is one of the world's premier assassins, with a bank account to match. Highly dangerous in melee with a knife using it with almost surgical percision, he commited countless murders over his time in the Special Forces. Handguns, submachineguns, sniper and battle rifles all fall into his field of expertise. Death is his profession, killing his currency. An expert pilot in the older Gun-Ru frames, and experienced in Gloucester use, also trained well in arial combat with Float units and aircraft of nearly any kind, he is a top-of-the-line combat unit, skilled in leading small teams. He ironically hated traitors, and often hunted them, even though he betrayed countless people. Using his D-12 Widowmaker Anti-Materiel Rifle, a prototype railgun that was nearly soundless and certainly smokeless, now cut out of production for being so insanely expensive. He even managed to kill Britannian nobles from insane distances at the height of the Britannian Occupation. Killing since he was a mere 12 years old, he was one of the Chinese Federation's most valued operatives.
Was.
After the death of the corrupt Eunuchs, the Chinese revolutionaries removed many former officials and operatives from service - including Akari himself. Furious, he spent most of his time drinking since then, a drunkard at best, ripe for anyone to recruit him to their cause...(nudge nudge wink wink) He worked as a mercenary for some time after he was kicked out, but soon enough, he was drinking for nearly a year now. His skills have dulled, and knowledge of modern technology is sketchy at best. However, he is still one of the best assassins around, especially with his Geass in play. (I hope to get myself a sniper-based knightmare frame... 3)

Name: Joseph Al-Asad
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Afghan
Faction: Freelance Mercenary
Geass: Absolute Identification - able to discern a person's identity and a few minor details (age, gender, ethnicity, predominant personality, etc.) by looking at them with his Geass eye. Drawbacks: Target has to have been previously seen and identified by name and face, through any form of media; requires ten seconds of visual contact to discern all of the aforementioned details, absolute minimum is three seconds to find a name; ability is only usable on one person at a time.
Appearance: 5'10", stocky build, hazel eyes, bald, very tan. Usually seen in a tan muscle shirt, olive-drab cargo pants, sports sunglasses, and an unmarked net-back black baseball cap.
Personality: Stern on duty, laid-back otherwise; has a strong sense of morality; very passionate about his beliefs.
Likes: AK assault rifles; card games; a cold beer.
Dislikes: Surprises; being cheated; Britannian assault weapons; warm drinks.
Strengths: CQC (brawling); Heavy Assault; Attrition engagements; Guerilla Warfare.
Weakness: Long-Range Combat; High-Speed Combat.
Bio: Born 5 August, 1989 ATB as Muhammad Al-Asad, his parents were killed during a Britannian attack (disguised as a "peace-keeping operation") in 2003. At sixteen, he changed his first name to Joseph, and used a few connections to have his background changed to that of a half-breed in Britannian archives, so as to allow him a greater window of mobility around areas of their control. At the start of Britannia's east and westward expansion, he joined up with the New Mujaheddin based out of Kabul, and learned the nuances of guerilla operations, as well as a few of the Afghan Army's actual military tactics. When Afghanistan was eventually invaded in 2013, the combined military and guerilla forces managed to hold back Britannian forces for an admirable two years before the MEF started withdrawing into Iran.
Joseph was taken prisoner, marked as an excellent fighter by military officials, and then "killed off" before being shipped to China and falling under the watch of the Geass Directorate, where he received one of the more useful (albeit rather mismatched) Bastard Geass abilities. He was on assignment in Mongolia when the order was destroyed, and he then fled, becoming a freelancer and returning to work primarily in his home territory in the Western Chinese Federation.
While his primary strength lies in infantry-based combat, changing times have required him to take up Knightmare piloting; he's slightly above-average at best, and pilots a patched-together custom Gloucester.
His Geass doesn't make much sense... unless he actually knew who those people are by name. Perfect Memory would be better...
Name: Antero Koskinen
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Finnish
Faction: Freelance Mercenary
Geass: None
Appearance: 6'1", lanky build, green eyes, close-cropped brown hair, fairly pale. Usually seen in a white armored vest over a grey long-sleeve shirt, grey cargo pants, black combat boots, and a grey beanie hat.
Personality: Rather sloth-like, warm and cheerful; extremely concise under pressure; follows his comrades.
Likes: A piping-hot cup of coffee; a good book; a hot sauna; a straightforward job.
Dislikes: Unfavorable weather conditions; Russians; complications; a dirty sniper scope.
Strengths: Sharpshooting; Attrition Warfare; Trap-Setting; Winter Warfare

Met Joseph on a job in 2020; friends ever since.

Due to changing times, Antero was forced to pick up Knightmare combat. Received formal training with the Finnish Army; currently operates a second-hand Vincent with a sniper rifle for when a job requires it.
Name: Ayano Yukimura
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Japanese
Faction: Undecided
Geass: None
Appearance: Wide-eyed and innocent looking, with black hair and pink eyes. She's short and small, and has a light dusting of freckles on her pale face. She almost always wears a ribbon in her hair, and has "cute" themed outfits.
Personality: Ayano tries hard to come off as bubbly, overly cheerful, and above all, airheaded. She's actually pretty sharp, and dreams of being a master spy. Or a detective. She is naturally insomnic, so she goes out late at night whenever she has seen something she finds at all suspicious. However she has no skill whatsoever at deciding whether something is suspicious enough to warrant investigation, so ends up on wild goose chases a lot. She has good memory, and speaks in an insanely high pitched voice to try and make sure that no one suspects her facade. However she is bad at talking to people.
Likes: Bats, night time, investigating things, and listening
Dislikes: Talking, loud noises, bright lights, and being interrupted
Strengths: Sneaking around, remembering info, pretending to be airheaded, keeping displays of emotion (namely tears) inside, and noticing visual things
Weaknesses: Talking to people outside of her facade, judging the gravity of a situation, is often sleep deprived, lack of athletic ability (not very fast and very, very physically weak), and making friends (if she has friends, she tends to be overprotective)
Bio: Ayano was born only two years before the year of the invasion. During the first Black Knights Rebellion, she couldn't really comprehend what was going on, just that a lot of people died. She found that she could not wipe the events fomher memory, though. She was told by her elders that she had to be more observant to survive in the world, so she obeyed and began training herself to notice every detail of everything going on around her. She began listening to every thing anyone around said, while continuing to act dumb and pretending not to know anything at all. By the time of Emperor Lelouch's death, she had managed to improve her memorization skills to include repeating verbatim what someone had told her that day so she could write it down later. four years later, she started going out on nightly investigations and has been doing so ever since.
Sure... Could she be like an advanced student. That way she can go to the college Kallen will be attending.
