Mobile Suit Gundam 00/Characters/HRL

Sergei Smirnov
A Human Reform League mobile suit commander known as the "Wild Bear of Russia," but he's actually a very chill guy and is one of the only people who is shown to be capable of outwitting Sumeragi. He is such a good pilot, that even at the age of 43 he can keep up with teenagers, even though it's an anime. He a father figure to Soma Pieries, instilling in her a sense of kindness that took even him by surprise. (He apparently failed in raising his own son Andrei though, according to said son, but then, Andrei is just a Jerkass.) Sergei refuses to join A-Laws, and will smack the fools who pass information about him to them.

 * A Father to His Men
 * Alliterative Name
 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Badass Baritone: Especially in the original Japanese version.
 * Badass Mustache
 * Badass Normal / Colonel Badass
 * Cool Old Guy: Not all that old, really - he's 48 in season 2 - but still much older than most other characters. And undeniably cool, of course.
 * Covered With Scars
 * Fan Nickname: "Papa Bear" (not the male version of this trope). Also "Pedo Bear", considering that he was kinda close to Soma when she's still having that 'loli' vibe around her, even though Soma was already an adult when first introduced. This actually comes from his Japanese nickname "Kuma-san", meaning "Bear".
 * Genius Bruiser: An very good mobile suit pilot and an excellent strategist.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: Subverted: He's a good and reasonable man, but has a HUGE facial scar typical of bad guys.
 * Hero Antagonist: To Celestial Being.
 * He's Just Hiding: Played around. Episode 10 ends with him getting caught in the blast of Memento Mori, making people think he bit the dust. Then in Episode 11, the first scene shows him unscathed. He really WAS hiding...
 * Honor Before Reason: Is completed dedicated to being a soldier and always follows orders..
 * Hot Shoujo Dad: Not very good at the 'dad' thing, indeed, but most female acquaintances of This Troper find him gorgeous. Plus, when his younger self appeared in the flashbacks, well... heh.
 * God, yes. Holly was a lucky, lucky woman.
 * I would disagree, not because of anything to do with Sergei but simply because
 * It Runs in The Family: His wife, son and adopted daughter are all soldiers.
 * I Was Quite a Looker: Flashbacks showed he was Tall, Dark and Handsome back in the days.
 * The Last DJ: He is the only named character from the ESF army that didn't join A-LAWS.
 * Lzherusskie
 * Named After Somebody Famous: Papa Bear is named from this guy.

Soma Peries
Bred for battle in a laboratory by the HRL, she is focused, ruthless, and emotionless. Except when she's not.
