Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory/Characters

Kou Uraki
An Earth Federation pilot who joined up after the One Year War, beginning the series as an aggressor pilot used in testing and training. He quickly ends up Falling Into the Cockpit of the GP-01 and begins chasing Anavel Gato across the entire Earth Sphere.


 * Adult Child: At first, such as showing more interest in mobile suits, missing cues that Nina likes him, has to force himself to eat carrots.
 * Badass: Matures into one.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: He's quite good at improvising on the spot.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Dueling with the Nightmare of Solomon, even using the Gundam's own foot as a shield, and ending it in a draw. Also
 * Does Not Like Carrots
 * Heroic BSOD: Suffers one early on.
 * Reverse Grip: Holds his beam sword like this to stab it through GP-02's neck.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Trashing the GP-01.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Started off as a rookie and then became a MAN OF DESTINY.

Chuck Keith
Kou's best friend and fellow aggressor pilot, he ends up in a GM Cannon II after the GP-02 is stolen. Much more laid back and casual than Kou, he's also much less skilled, which makes him something of a Butt Monkey among his fellow pilots.


 * Beta Couple: With
 * The Leisure Suit Larry: Mostly with Nina though.
 * No Guy Wants an Amazon: When his first efforts to flirt with Nina result in Moira coming on to him instead, he's quite frightened off by the fact she's more imposing than he is in every way.

South Burning
A veteran of the One Year War, Lieutenant Burning is the commanding officer of the team that includes Kou and Keith, acting as piloting instructor and general mentor. After the theft of the GP-02, he's made the commander of the Albion's entire mobile suit forces, though he generally fails to keep his Military Maverick pilots under control.


 * A Father to His Men
 * Badass: Slugging a much larger mobile suit with a mere GM and then cutting back to the end of the battle.
 * Cool Old Guy: by the standards of the frequent teenage Gundam pilots he's pretty old.
 * Darkskinned Blonde
 * Informed Flaw: One commander called Burnings a pervert in episode 2. We never see Burning act like a lecher. The only time he's with a woman is when the ship docks in Von Braun City. This might just be his old unit's reputation rubbing off on him.

The Immortal 4th Team
Burning's old unit during the One Year War, consisting of Bernard Monsha, Chap Adel, and Alpha A. Bate (yes, really). Now stationed on the Albion, they join the hunt for the GP-02 after Gato successfully escapes Torington Base with it.


 * All Men Are Perverts: Monsha is enough of a pervert that he could fill the role for the entire Gundam universe.
 * Badass Mustache: Monsha has one in the source canon, but its rendered more prominently in Super Robot Wars Alpha.
 * Jerkass: Monsha and how!
 * No Indoor Voice: Monsha
 * Those Two Guys: Chap and Alpha.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Monsha

Eiphar Synapse
The captain of the Albion, an older man without much familiarity with mobile suits. Upon being assigned to retrieve the GP-02, he becomes caught up in events, eventually becoming the primary force in opposition to Operation Stardust.


 * A Father to His Men
 * Can't Hold His Liquor: He keeps it in the infirmary and has the medic dole it out in manageable amounts.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure

Jamitov Hymem

 * Ambiguously Jewish

Bask Ohm

 * Goggles Do Nothing
 * Scary Black Man

Anavel Gato
An Ace Pilot known as the Nightmare of Solomon for his part in the Battle of Solomon during the One Year War, Gato reappears to Gundamjack the shiny-new nuclear-equipped GP-02 as part of an Evil Plan to bring the Federation to its knees. He gains a rivalry with Kou over the course of the series.


 * Ambiguously Jewish: Anavel is apparently Hebrew for "Humble servant of God" or something like that.
 * Base Breaker: Some fans think he's the epitome of manliness and honor. Others think he's a rabid attack dog who'd kill his own mother if Gihren or Delaz ordered him to do so.
 * Badass
 * Large Ham: Solomon, I have returned!

Aiguille Delaz
The leader of the Delaz Fleet and the ultimate mastermind behind Operation Stardust, Delaz represents the largest group of Zeon loyalists left in the Earth Sphere. Utilizing his limited resources to the greatest possible effect, he works with Gato and Cima to achieve his goals.

Cima Garahau
A Zeon commander loosely allied with Delaz, she works with him for now, but obviously serves only herself. Brass and austentatious, both Delaz and Gato dislike her intensely, but are forced to work with her because of the forces she commands. For her part, she's not too fond of them, either.


 * Early-Bird Cameo: Gets one in 8th MS Team, although only via All There in the Manual. She's the pilot of the colony-gassing Zaku I that appears in Shiro's flashback.

Haman Karn

 * Dark Action Girl
 * Evil Redheads
 * Woman in Black

Nina Purpleton
Not technically part of the Earth Federation military, Nina is the engineer from Anaheim Electronics in charge of the Gundam Development Project. As such, when the GP-01 is unexpectedly sent into battle, she works closely with Kou. Their relationship is... interesting.


 * Berserk Button: Treat her creations well. If you don't...
 * Hair of Gold
 * Rei Sakuma
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly girl with Mora's tomboy.
 * Tsundere: Holy shit...

Mora Bascht
A mechanic from Anaheim, she works with Nina, maintaining the Anaheim Gundams and providing her with moral support. She takes an interest in Keith early on, and the two can be found in each other's company frequently throughout the series.


 * Amazonian Beauty: Tall and muscle-bound, and very charming in a tomboyish way
 * Beta Couple:
 * Dark-Skinned Redhead
 * Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: She stands head and shoulders over Keith. Of course, she's taller then most guys on the ship in general.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy with Nina's girly girl.
 * Wrench Wench: Nina's the programmer and designer, but she's the one who actually builds and repairs the tech.

Kelly Layzner
A one-armed former Zeon pilot now living on the moon, he is secretly in league with the Delaz Fleet, covertly repairing a massive mobile armor concealed in the junk yard where he lives.


 * Char Clone: While not as much as the others, he is a blond who pilots a red mech.
 * Giant Enemy Crab: His Mobile Armor Valvaro has a definite crustacean feel to its design.
 * Handicapped Badass
 * Ho Yay: With Kou.
 * Retired Badass: For a while.
