Given Name: Garion LeDuke Alias/Use Name: Weaver, Pheonix Date of Birth: October 30th, AC 176 Age: 27 Blood Type: A- Nationality: Canadian Colony of Origin: Earth, but only born there... Height: 5’8” Weight: 170 lbs. Physical Description: Shoulder-length raven black hair that is rarely cut, with saphire blue eyes that clearly show his emotions when they’re strong enough to get through his barriers. He’s well muscled, kinda just past the well-toned and a fair bit before musclebound, and knows how to use them very well in physical activities. His skin is tanned a bit, generally slighlty red from Polish ancestors, As for a distinguishing mark, he has a pheonix tattoo where the bird of legend is rising from the ashes done in several shades of blue on his right forearm. Background Info/Origin: Born on Earth, he was there for the first few years of his life before his father - a general who was well-known as a troop troubleshooter and problem fixer - was moved to another base on one of the colonies. Every 3 years or so, the family moved again and again as his father was continually transferred to another colony. Early on, Garion found out how fast friends he made lost contact from the moving, so began to withdraw from others outside of school - instead focussing on video games, computers, simulators, and books. Seeing this, his father subtly turned him towards history and war in it...where Garion came across the ancient chinese warror/philosopher Sun Tzu and his “Path of the Warrior”. Finding a root of similar thoughts, the “Path” was taken up...and helped lead to the boy growing into a tactical genious both on the field and off it - with an ability to outmaneuver most opponents before the first shot was fired. A few months back, he joined a colony-wide MS simulation battle league on Perseus. Within a few weeks he’d gone from grunt to squad leader, and shortly after that his tactics led to the squad having the lowest casualty rates while posting the greatest victories against very tough odds. The league was joined with others throughout the colonies, their results broadcast througout for public consumption for those interested. Garion’s father was extremely proud, and decided perhaps it was time to move things along a little, thus he forwarded copies of the squad’s greatest battles to someone higher in the military recruitment offices. Somehow, copies of those ended up upon Duo’s desk. A short two days later Garion was on a shuttle to Yggdrasil to meet with Duo, not having a clue as to what it was all about... Personality: Calm, collected, and a constant thinker - sometimes has trouble just “going with the flow” with his instincts, but once they kick in he’s even better. Somewhat introverted he doesn’t talk much to those he doesn’t know, but whatever he does say is inveriably very insightful and helpful. Somehow, he’s developed an inate talent to very quickly learn to pilot any vehicle he tries - perhaps a side-effect of so much sim time. At first glance he seems a cool, logical soul - once heard someone refer to him as a “Vulcan”. However, once the barriers are lowered a bit he can be very a very warm person and a great friend to have by your side in almost any situation. (After all, nobody’s perfect to have in all situations.) Likes: Kempo, Kendo, and is a swordsmaster - making his own unique daisho, loves pizza - but not with anchovies, reading, playing in sims or video games, swimming, playing volleyball or tennis, piloting stuff, and making sure the missions are with as few losses as possible. Music, TV, sugar in most forms, and watching the stars... Dislikes: Snobby people - though some consider him one due to the initial impression, peaches, unnecesary risks in a mission that could have been avoided, generalizations, large amounts of humidity. People who don’t respect the rights of others to live their own lives. Specific Enemies/Friends None...he tries to avoid making enemies, though is ready to live with any he does make. As for friends, weeeelll, he hasn’t met any of the other recruits yet. Likes Duo, though. Current Occupation Pilot, Strategist/Tactician MS Type: None currently assigned, his father offered one when he left, but he’s yet to decide on it. Contact
