Trowa Barton

Ask here what Trowa (and/or Zia) think of your characters.

Please tell me who... because I will forget who else you play 8D;;;

( Fic Stats )

Trowa's being taken from around ep 18 or 19, so before he goes to space. And before Quatre blows him up. YAY.

Name: Trowa Barton
Nicknames: Pilot 03, Trowa does not believe in nicknames >:| (they're all nicknames, really...)
Age: We're going for 17, but it's debatable
Height: 160cm ('bout 5'3")
Weight: 44kg ('bout 98lbs or so)
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Ethnic Origin: "Latin" … as in some place in Europe.

Physical Traits:
I know he looks tall, but he's really only 5'3".

And there's The Hair. Really, we don't know what it does. I'd say it goes one way… but sometimes it goes to the left and sometimes to the right and in zero gravity it goes … all over. BUT it will always be distractingly… unibang-ish. And there. Unless he gets a haircut and then my brain might melt.

He's also got a burn scar on his back. DUN DUN DUN~

What's Okay To Mention Around Him:
A lot of things. Trowa's a pretty mellow dude when it comes to random-ass stuff. HA more stoic than Heero. He's really the kind of guy who might have a reaction but he's not going to share it with you. I'm going to say about everything is okay to mention around him. He's more the kind of guy to hear something, think it over/whatever and then plant a bomb in your bed…. Than kick your shin, I mean.


Abilities:
Trowa can blow your shit up. Uh, he can drive probably almost anything (cars, trucks, I'm betting a good number of planes/boats/other vehicles) and every mobile suit he's encountered in Gundam Wing. Can shoot a gun, woo hoo, and since Heavyarms has a knife I'm assuming is fairly proficient with that as well, and punches Duo in the stomach prolly okay with hand to hand too. Mainly though, he can do impossible acrobatics, like a triple axel lutz sow cow sunshine flip spin. And jump really high. Trowa was raised by mercenaries so all misc. mercenary skills probably exist, like …cleaning and mending and cooking and basic stuff like that.

Infiltrating enemy forces is also something he's pretty good at. He worked as a mechanic for a while as well. Trowa can usually accept a role and go with it if he needs to be. Even convincing his own allies that he might have betrayed them (YE OF LITTLE FAITHwufei) He's also good at following orders. And good with animals, vicious lions kept for entertainment purposes love him.


Notes for the Psychics:
Nothing really. I imagine the Trowa psychic channel is pretty boring. He keeps his thoughts to himself. I'm sure there's a landmine of seekrit emo just waiting to get out, and Catherine (when she stabs him in the face) mentions that he wants to die (which seems to be common with all Gundam Wing characters) … I would assume he's pretty compartmentalized in there, in his head.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?:
Please contact me for the major stuff. I'm more reliably reachable on AIM (heir in actual) but sometimes I'll be on IRC too. Uhm, as for spitting/stepping on/other such things Trowa… might just let you. Unless you're perceived as a threat or he's back in suspicious bastard mode. So, violence this way may come if you do.

Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact:
If you're Catherine or Quatre you get a THUMBS UP. Most other people will probably be met with apathy, resigned apathy or something like apathy.

Maim/Murder/Death:
What, you mean besides getting blown up by my boyfriend? Uh, depends on stuff. But please to be asking either way.

Character: Trowa Barton
Series: Gundam Wing
Character Age: Assumed around 17
Canon:
Gundam Wing is another mecha series. Rather, it's another Gundam series. A fairly popular japanimation series about people in space who fly giant robots. Sometime in the far future when man can live in outer space there are colonies and there are not-colonies. The not-colonies are a united force of the Alliance and tend to rule the colonies, "with an iron fist" wiki so helpfully points out. Peace seeking is interrupted by an assassination (damn those assassins) and fighting breaks out. Five scientists make these super cool nifty GUNDAMS and set in motion a mildly convoluted "operation meteor" to strike back at OZ (plot!).

Trowa Barton (whose real name is not Trowa Barton) is one of five pilots of one of the Gundams. His is Heavyarms, and it has a gun. And a knife. He sits on the same side of the personality line as Heero does, the silent protagonist. However, while Heero favors 'hns' and other such expressive grunts, Trowa merely goes with silence, or the more traditional '...' Contrary to fanon belief, Trowa does actually talk. He's not mute, as evidenced by a few monologues places throughout the series, and he even laughs... once. But hey, that counts for something, right? A few other dimensions of his character are sneaky and hidden throughout the series. However, it is evidenced that he's calculating and not slow to act so much as he considers his options. Subdued or low-key would also be good personality descriptors for Trowa. Last (and I swear this has a segue), Trowa has a thing for masks, metaphorically and literally.

And one of his image songs is "clown". Really.

"Dear Mr. Barton,

Welcome to Camp! We are glad to have you, just as we are sure you are glad to have us! However, we are sorely disappointed to find that you have already used up your allotted number of stoic character ellipses. If you wish to continue dot dot dotting, we advise that you upgrade yourself to ninja status. How might you go about doing this, you might ask? First, we ask that you ditch the turtleneck, jeans are optional. An elaborate, colorful costume is advised, while a gigantic bow is not required, we have several laying around if you wish to acquire one. Third, be a ninja.

This note has been brought to you by the Audience Association for the Protection of Ninja Rights and Trademarks. For further questions... well, don't contact us, we'll have our people call you.

<3 Chu~"

..- This is unexpected. Even more so to have been delivered such a message upon my arrival to "Camp". I have no desire to become a ninja, but if I am mistaken for one it might be useful. It would be to my advantage to be able to blend in, and judging from the A.A.P.N.R. the ninja population must be fairly high. However, the appearance of such an association would impede this charade, and should be taken into account. The fact that they monitor movement and are aware of simple things like the pausing before speech is also noted.

This area seems to be highly populated with people in various stages of decomposition. A weapon with a large amount of firepower and range would be ideal. Other options are as follows: escape, distractive combat, avoidance and direct physical force.

Materials found are inadequate to deal with the undead, henceforth labeled as the Zclass Omni-Mobile Biological Infected lifEforms [ZOMBIEs]. Both the lead pipe labeled 'for personal use only' and small rectangular 'homeland security: terrorist level is now prune' sticker are poor choices to fend off any attacker. Insufficient cover has been provided in the arrangement of wooden shacks. There is evidence that both civilian and military personnel have inhabited these shacks, shown by the odd appearance of both shell casings (remnants of the victims of the ZOMBIEs?) and a variety of female undergarments that have been proudly displayed on a flagpole. Acquiring the knowledge of a native or even the assistance of another nonZOMBIE would be useful. So far many of the lifeforms encountered fall into the category of enemy.

The potential for allies may have been found ... however the large sign proclaiming "ALLIES HERE, PLEASE INSERT A QUARTER TO CONTINUE GAMEPLAY" is strangely disheartening.
