Gundam 00
Alternate Title: ----
Story
The series is set in the years 2307-2312 AD of the Gregorian calendar. During this time, fossil fuels became exhausted and the distribution of fuels became imbalanced. Humanity must rely on an array of solar power generation systems orbiting the Earth, and supported by three orbital elevators, each one pertaining to one of the three "major powers" on the planet.The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations, centered in the United States and consisting of the Organization of American States, Australasia and Japan, control the elevator located in South America. The Human Reform League, centered in China, Siberian Russia, and India, and including the member states of the SAARC (excluding Afghanistan and Pakistan) and ASEAN, Korea, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, and Taiwan, control the elevator located in the Pacific Ocean. The Advanced European Union (AEU), consisting of Iceland, the islands of the Barents Sea, Greenland, Turkey, European Russia and the entirety of the traditional continent of Europe, control an elevator built in the middle of the African continent.
With this infinite source of energy benefiting only the major powers and their allies, constant warfare erupts around the globe for fuels and energy. The nations that rely on fuel have plunged into poverty. Many believed that solar energy threatened the "promised land of God". The chaos lead to the formation of a private military organization, called Celestial Being, dedicated to eradicating war and uniting humanity with the use of four humanoid machines called Gundams. The protagonist is 16-year old Setsuna F Seiei, a quiet, taciturn young man who grew up in the Kurdish Republic and a Gundam Meister for two years. He pilots the GN-001 Gundam Exia, a high mobility mobile suit effective in melee combat.
Characters
Setsuna F. Seiei: The pilot of GN-001 Gundam Exia. Having
been discovered by Celestial Being at the age of 14 for having special potential as a pilot, he is currently a Gundam Meister for their organization. He
can be described as taciturn and resides in Japan when not on Celestial Being duties. His real name is Soran Ibrahim while Setsuna is his Gundam Meister
codename. Six years prior to being recruited into Celestial Being, he was a child soldier in the war-torn Kurdish Republic. He murdered his own parents
under Ali Al-Saachez's influence in order to prove his devotion to God, and hence bears a deep hatred towards Saachez. Due to his previous religious
brainwashing (and awakening from it), Setsuna no longer believes that God exists within the world. Setsuna believes that war can only be stopped through
direct confrontation, and therefore has little tolerance for diplomats and politicians, believing that their "peace talks" only lengthen the conflict and
cause more casualties. In addition, he sees the Gundams both as the tools for bringing about peace in the world and the symbols of change, and thus is
trying to "become" a Gundam himself, aka a tool for peace and symbol of change. Despite his reclusive personality and common loyalty to the rest of the
organization, he can sometimes be very naive, such as when he communicated with other people during his off time as well as when he engaged new enemies.
Lockon Stratos: The pilot of GN-002 Gundam Dynames.
He decided to join Celestial Being after losing his parents and little sister to terrorists in Ireland; because of this, he loathes terrorists. He has an
identical twin named Lyle. As the eldest pilot, he is considered the team leader of the Gundam Meisters, and sports a more easygoing, flamboyant
personality as compared to the other Gundam Meisters. He owns an orange Haro to aid Dynames' defense and movement when sniping. He is also a capable
sharpshooter with conventional sniper rifles.
Allelujah Haptism: The pilot of GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.
Allelujah spent his childhood as an orphan in the Human Reform League. He is usually gentle and quiet. Allelujah's left eye is grey and in most
situations his hair completely conceals his right eye from view. While generally gentle and rational compared to the other Gundam Meisters, he has
another harsher, unstable, and outright sadistic alter ego, named Hallelujah inside him. The Hallelujah persona emerges when he senses another like
him, such as the Human Reform League soldier, Soma Peries. When the change in personality takes place, his hair shifts to cover his left eye and his
right iris is shown to have a golden hue. All indications seem to point that Allelujah/Hallelujah harbors a grudge against the Human Reform League for
conducting superhuman experiments on children, of which he was one of the subjects.
Tieria Erde: The pilot of GN-005 Gundam Virtue, as
well as GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh. Within his gentle tone, he can give a sense of cold intentions. Values the mission above all other issues, including life,
and doesn't show any 'concern' for his teammates. Tieria seems extremely loyal to Veda, and will go to any length to ensure the secrecy of Celestial Being
remains what it is, a secret, even if he has to kill other Gundam Meisters himself to achieve this end. Compared to the other members of Celestial Being,
Tieria seems to be more disagreeable, generally not socializing with any of his comrades, and often expressing disapproval of them, including Setsuna F
Seiei, Allelujah Haptism, and even his "superior", Sumeragi Lee Noriega. His eyes seem to glow with a digital, rainbow-ish hue when activating the mobile
suit GN-004 Nadleeh from GN-005 Virtue. A similar effect occurs when he interfaces directly with Veda.
Sumeragi Lee Noriega: The tactical forecaster of
Celestial Being’s mothership. She is not the captain but the top ranking officer on the ship, therefore taking command. She plans all the tactics the
Gundam Meisters take part in and her strategic predictions are almost always very accurate. However she enjoys drinking and is frequently seen with a
liquor flask in hand.
Christina Sierra: One of the tactical operators of Celestial Being. She was a highly-skilled programmer who ran away from her adopted mother before being discovered by Celestial Being. She has a good-natured personality and a very deep trust of her comrades. 
Feldt Grace: Another tactical operator of Celestial Being. She is a quiet person who seems to be poor at communicating with others. Her late parents worked under Celestial Being as Meisters. She has a wealth of mechanics-related knowledge and joined Celestial Being in anticipation of being able to utilize it. Feldt is very fond of Haro and admires Lockon deeply, eventually developing a crush on him and blushing whenever he is around. 
Wang Liu Mei: A beautiful celebrity whose name is well-known in global high society. In secret, she is an agent of Celestial Being. She uses her wide social connections to conduct espionage activities and fundraising. She also passes mission details to the Gundam Meisters from the shadows. Liu-Mei harbors an extreme disgust with the world, and has stated that she does not care who changes the world or how, as long as it changes, going so far as to support Trinity's aggressive armed interventions.
Hong Long: Wang Liu Mei's steward and bodyguard, who accompanies her faithfully. An extremely competent martial artist, he is also one of Celestial Being's agents. 
Marina Ismail: The first princess of Azadistan. Due to trade embargoes following the completion of the solar energy pipelines, Azadistan can no longer export its fossil fuel reserves, and consequently is faced with an economic crisis. Azadistan has recently became a monarchy and she was elected as sovereign to restore the national economy by the Azadistani Parliament. She embarks on a diplomatic mission to seek aid from other members of the AEU, but has met with little success due to Celestial Being's constant "interference".
Ali Al-Saachez: He is the nemesis of Setsuna and Lockon
and a primary villain in the series. Currently a top field officer under the private military contractor known as the PMC Trust, he has some relationship
with Setsuna's past. After Setsuna found his secret base where he was hiding the kidnapped Massoud Rachmadi, he was left with no doubt as to the identity
of the pilot of Exia. Ali considers himself a mercenary, and flies the latest AEU Enact mobile suit. However, France promised him the mobile suit Agrissa
to capture the Exia unit. He was serving in the French Foreign Legion under the assumed name of Gary Bradge of the 4th Independent Squadron.
He is an excellent mobile suit pilot. He has been shown to fight Gundams to a standstill with a mere ENACT mobile suit. Furthermore, he is also shown to
be highly skilled in the arts of hand-to-hand combat.
In the past, Saachez attempted to create a group of freedom fighters and convinced young children that they were fighting in the name of God. Saachez even
commanded children to murder their own parents as proof of faith and devotion. Thus Setsuna's hatred towards him is due to that fact. He is a man addicted
to war and does not want it to end. His love of war seems to fuel his opposition to Celestial Being.
Alejandro Corner: A UN Ambassador for a Union member nation, Alejandro is secretly an Observer for Celestial Being, but implies that he has limited access to Celestial Being's deeper secrets. Throughout the series, Alejandro covertly manipulated the actions of Celestial Being's operators thanks to Ribbons's ability to hack Veda. He eventually showed his true colors in the final battle between the UN and CB when he fought in the mobile armor Alvatore. Alejandro was killed by Setsuna F. Seiei during the ensuing battle and betrayed by Ribbons shortly before his death.
Ribbons Almark: A mysterious boy assisting Alejandro Corner, Ribbons is able to directly interact with Veda, in a similar fashion to Tieria Erde. However, Ribbons eventually left Alejandro to die, revealing that he had been manipulating the villain the whole time.
Graham Aker: The ace pilot of the Union. When fighting the Gundams he exhibits tenacity and skill which makes him a formidable opponent for the Gundams. After the death of a comrade Howard, Graham swore to defeat the Gundams using a Flag. As such he refused to be a pilot of the new GN-X, and instead decided to upgrade his SVMS-01 Flag with the leaked technology. He is now the last pilot of the Overflags following Daryl's death. Graham tells Setsuna during their duel that he is obsessed with fighting against him and that "being a soldier" is his only reason for fighting, as well as seeking revenge for Daryl and Howard as well. 
Sergei Smirnov: A Lieutenant Colonel and a MS team commander of the Human Reform League; he was a known veteran in the 4th Solar War in the year 2289 and earned the name "Wild Bear of Russia". He is an excellent strategist sometimes countering Sumeragi's strategies and creates different kinds of formations for his Mobile Suit Team. He was enlisted in a Special Forces squad known as Chobu, with the purpose of capturing a Gundam after encountering Setsuna's Exia in Ceylon. He was later chosen to lead Chobu, this time consisting of GN-X suits. 
Soma Peries : A "supersoldier" with the rank of Second Lieutenant sent to aid Sergei in his goal to capture a Gundam. She had been enhanced by scientists from the Super Soldier Special Duty Organization. She is a designer baby, enhanced through experiments bet the HRL's supersoldier division. She and Allelujah Haptism shared mental connection as they were both experiments in the HRL. This caused her to go berserk in one incident and was later given a special suit to prevent this. She holds a special grudge against Gundam Kyrios' pilot, knowing that he is an enhanced human who 'betrayed' his own kind when he destroyed the supersoldier research facility. She later calls Allelujah by an experiment ID number, indicating that she may have discovered his true identity. Her true name is Marie. She seems to view Sergei as a father figure, because he may have been the first person to show any sort of care for her. 
Johann Trinity: The pilot of GNW-001 Gundam Throne Eins as well as the oldest of the three Trinity siblings, he undertakes the mission to eradicate the world's strife. He began his armed intervention activities with his younger siblings Michael and Nena. He is a calm person who faithfully handles his given mission while he commands his problematic brother and sister. A good marksman, he handles the firing of the GN Mega Launcher equipped on the Gundam Throne Eins. 
Michael Trinity: The pilot of GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei as well as the younger brother of Trinity. Impulsive, he immediately bares his fangs at people who oppose him. Similar to his personality, he favors brutal tactics for mobile suit combat and specializes in attacks with the Gundam Throne Zwei's all-range weapon, the GN Fangs. He prefers to carry knives than guns. Said to dote on his younger sister, Nena, he has a sister complex on one hand while still abiding by and complaining about orders from the eldest brother, Johann. 
Nena Trinity: The pilot of GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei as well as the youngest member of Trinity. She is impulsive in personality, displays self-centeredness to an extent. Like Tieria, she is able to interface with Veda directly. Her Throne Drei stores a large quantity of highly concentrated, condensed GN particles and employs a GN field that transfers particles to other units and interferes extensively with communications. She's the strong support within Trinity. She habitually smiles and makes a V-sign with her fingers. Like Lockon and Fon, she owns her own Haro. She may present herself as a young cheerful girl, but she is just as "trigger happy" as her siblings without regards for life.
Saji Crossroad: A resident of Japan; a senior high school student studying aerospace engineering. A gentle person with a submissive personality, he is often pushed around by his overbearing girlfriend Louise. He and his sister live in an apartment right next door to Setsuna's. He and his sister, Kinue, had been orphaned prior to the start of the series.Despite his unaggressive nature, Saji has been caught up in the wake of the Gundams' actions. His girlfriend, Louise, lost her left hand and entire family due to an unprovoked attack from the Throne Drei Gundam. Later, Saji's sister, a reporter pursuing information on Celestial Being's founder, Aeolia Schenberg, was killed (although it was Ali Al-Saachez that killed her, not Celestial Being). As a result, Saji has developed a deep hatred for the Gundams, whom he blames for Louise's injures and his sister's death. He later goes in to space to pursue his dream of being a space engineer.
Louise Halevy: An exchange student. Like her current boyfriend Saji, she studies aerospace engineering. Has a rather selfish personality. She is a citizen of the AEU, specifically Spain. She was seriously wounded, losing her left hand and family, in an attack by Nena Trinity on a wedding party hosted by the Halevy family. In a conversation with Saji, a nurse reveals that there is something strange about her wound, preventing the hospital from regrowing her hand. After Saji comes to see her in Spain, she tells him that it will take a long time for her to heal. Not wanting to be a burden on Saji, Louise 'breaks up' with him and tells him to go back to Japan and fulfill his dream of becoming an aerospace engineer. She also promises him that some day they will reunite again in space. Gallery
