The first protagonist of Gundam AGE, he was born the same year that the war with the Unknown Enemies began. While he was still young, Flit and his family were attacked by the UE 7 years after "The Day Angel Fell", the first UE attack. It was during this attack that his dying mother provided him with control unit and schematics for the Gundam, leading Flit to spend years developing the "Legendary Mobile Suit" and devotes himself toward the defense of humanity and the defeat of the UEs. He is 14 years old at the start of his story.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Awesome By Analysis]]: Flit makes up his lack of experience with ability to analyze enemy's movement patterns.
Line 23 ⟶ 26:
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: In the AGE Titus' first appearance.
* [[Evolving Weapon]]: The whole point of the AGE system--it allows the Gundam to produce new weapons as it requires them.
* [[Expy]]/{{spoiler|[[Composite Character]]}}: Initially, he was this to [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Amuro Ray]]. {{spoiler|Once Yurin dies, however, his [[Unstoppable Rage]] and his refusal to accept those who fight for Vagan as fellow humans transforms him into a [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|Shinn Asuka.]]}}
* [[Falling Into the Cockpit]]: Subverted, while he has no intention to pilot Gundam AGE-1,he built it and knows how to use it.
* [[Green Eyes]]: With green hair!
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: He has developed predictive/telepathic senses as a result of him being an X-Rounder.
* [[Revenge]]: Wants to pay the UE back for killing his mom.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: His name has so far been translated as Fritto (supposedly the 'official' spelling), Flit (also seemingly official), and Flint. Flit seems to have gained the most recognition, however.
** {{spoiler|And he STILL still has it as an old man, driving a tank down the highway and jumping out of the core fighter of the new Gundam onto another moving vehicle.}}
* [[Super Prototype]]: The AGE-1.
Line 48 ⟶ 51:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Green, actually. Well, blue-green.
 
[[File:154431_9078.jpg|frame]]
=== Emily Amonde ===
[[File:154431_9078.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Aya Endo]] (JP) }}
Voiced by: [[Aya Endo]] (JP)
 
Childhood friend of Flit Asuno who met him when he first moved to Nora.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: Seems likely, and she appears to have some sort of feelings for Flit. And since his son is blonde and has [[Blue Eyes]]...
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: She doesn't show this in terms of keeping Flit away from other girls (and there aren't any on the ''Diva'' anyway), but from the Gundam. In Episode 4 she accepts Woolf's challenge in the hopes that Flit will ''lose'' (and thus lose his place on the ship so that he'll accompany her and Dique to a new colony), and she gets angry at Woolf and Grodek for encouraging him to fight. Understandable, since nobody wants to see their crush die in battle. She eases up after a chat with Lalaparly Mardona later on.
* [[Expy]]: She looks similar to [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Sayla]] and has a similar role to Fraw Bow.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Patient Childhood Love Interest]]
Line 64 ⟶ 67:
 
=== Dique Gunhale ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Kouki Miyata]] (JP)}}
 
Another friend of Flit's who ends up on the ''Diva'' with Emily when she decides to sneak aboard with Flit.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[Big Fun]]: One of the more comical characters, even in the generally more serious second arc.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: For most of the first generation, until he becomes Vargas' assistant.
 
=== Commander Henrik Bruzar ===
[[File:140753_9266.jpg|frame]]
Voiced by: Ikuya Sawaki (JP)
=== Commander Henrik Bruzar ===
{{quote| Voiced by: Ikuya Sawaki (JP)}}
 
The commander of the Federation forces at Nora. He serves as a sort of father figure to Flit, and {{spoiler|sacrifices himself to help the colony core escape}}.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Beard]]
Line 94 ⟶ 97:
* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}
 
[[File:140749_1419.jpg|frame]]
=== Deputy-Commander Grodek Ainoa ===
[[File:140749_1419.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Hiroki Tochi]] (JP) }}
Voiced by: [[Hiroki Tochi]] (JP)
 
Captain of the United Earth Federation warship, ''Diva'', on which Flit Asuno and the Gundam AGE-1 are stationed.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III
* [[Badass Beard]]: Complete with sideburns.
** And possibly a [[Beard of Sorrow]], as it doesn't appear in the flashbacks of his pre-military days.
* [[Being Good Sucks]]: As a reward for destroying Ambat, {{spoiler|the Federation Forces court-martial him for treason and sentence him to life in prison, while taking credit for his operation.}}
* [[Big Good]]: Despite [[Byronic Hero|some complicated issues]] in first generation he is the one leading humans forces against UE.
* [[Byronic Hero]]: He's a deeply wounded man who takes on the UE when nobody else in the Federation is willing to, but his main goal is to get back at them rather than protect civilians. And his crew seems to believe that he's more noble than he actually proves to be in the end.
* [[The Captain]]
Line 110 ⟶ 113:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Lost his wife and daughter in The Day Angel Fell.
* [[Expy]]: A sideburned, sunglasses-wearing captain who has suffered a past trauma. Just like [[After War Gundam X (Anime)|a certain other Gundam captain...]]
* [[Guile Hero]]: He's willing to kidnap uncooperative officers and key himself into the system as their replacement...and it only escalates from there.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: A mild example, but still undeniably present, as his desire for revenge against the UE pushes him to steadily more questionable acts.
Line 117 ⟶ 120:
* {{spoiler|[[Slasher Smile]]: A few times during the raid on the Vagan base}}.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: {{spoiler|He is [[Killed Mid-Sentence|not interested]] in what Yark Dole has to say about the Vagans' reason for war}}.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: One of the worst examples. Grodek, Grudek, Grudech? Ainoa, Ainor, Aynoa, Aynor?
* [[You Are in Command Now]]: He was Bruzar's deputy commander; when Bruzar realises that the ''Diva'''s captain intends to abandon the colony, he sends Grodek to seize control of the ship.

=== Millais Alloy ===

Voiced by: Yu Shimamura
 
A female officer onboard the ''Diva''. She originally served under Bruzar and is loyal to Grodek, despite some uncertainties.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Bridge Bunny]]: In Generation 1.
* [[Captain's Log]]: {{spoiler|Although not captain ''yet'', she sums up the events after Ambat at the end of episode 15 in a disillusioned journal entry about Grodek's trial, the origin of the Unknown Enemy, and the continuing corruption and mismanagement of the Federation government.}}
Line 133 ⟶ 136:
 
=== Adams Tinel ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Yoshihisa Kawahara]]}}
 
One of the bridge staff for the ''Diva''.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]
* [[Fatal Family Photo]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. He narrowly survives the battle of Ambat.}}
Line 143 ⟶ 146:
* [[Sour Supporter]]: He's openly skeptical of Grodek's motivations and would much prefer to be doing this ''without'' committing mutiny against Federation command...but he's still manning his post.

=== Vargas Dyson ===
[[File:vargas_age_105.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: Naoki Bandou (JP)}}
Voiced by: Naoki Bandou (JP)
 
Emily's Grandfather and the co-developer of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal. He also serves as an expert mechanic, who makes several upgrades to the Earth Federal Forces's mobile suits.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: More like goofy old guy, but still.
* [[The Engineer]]: For the ''Diva's'' mobile suits in general.
Line 154 ⟶ 157:
** His great-grandson Asemu does too.

=== Largan Drace ===
[[File:largan_gundam_age_8206.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Wataru Hatano]] (JP)}}
Voiced by: [[Wataru Hatano]] (JP)
 
A mobile suit pilot of the Earth Federal Forces, who pilots the RGE-B790 Genoace. He is supposed to pilot the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal until he was injured during the UE's attack at Nora.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Badass Normal]]: Sure, [[Can't Catch Up|he has trouble catching up with the heroes in terms of strength & skill]], but that doesn't stop him from going into the fight & lending them help whenever it's needed. The most awesome example was taking on a [[Mighty Glacier|Baqto]] knowing it's an almost hopeless fight & surviving.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: His standard-issue Genoace just can't compare with the Gundam or the G-Exes. He's aware of this, judging by his battle cry of "I can fight too!" in Episode 12. {{spoiler|The poor guy is ''finally'' able to destroy a UE suit on-screen in that battle.}}
Line 166 ⟶ 169:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Kind of subverted; he's usually amicable, but quite determined in battle.
* [[Nice Guy]]: He's pretty friendly to everyone he meets and doesn't bear Flit any ill-will for basically stealing his assignment to the Gundam.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: He doesn't appear in Generation 2.
 
[[File:147683_6174.jpg|frame]]
=== Woolf Enneacle ===
[[File:147683_6174.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Daisuke Ono]] (JP)}}
Voiced by: [[Daisuke Ono]] (JP)
 
A former Mobile Suit Grand Prix champion, he joined the Earth Federal forces when that got dull and quickly distinguished himself as a skilled pilot. Rather arrogant in attitude, he has expressed an interest in piloting the Gundam himself.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Ace Custom]]: Prior to getting his hands on the G-Exes, he pilots a custom white Genoace, as befits an Ace like him.
* [[Animal-Eared Headband]]: Technically, it's his hair. It [[Anime Hair|automatically falls]] into wolf-ears once it's dry from a shower.
Line 188 ⟶ 191:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Woolf has one from not only realizing the UE are actually human, but also from seeing a bleeding Vagan soldier he befriended die in his arms.}}
* [[Human Popsicle]]: He was recuperating in a pod in the medical bay whilst the ''Diva'' was docked at Nora, causing considerable bewilderment when he wakes up to find the colony's gone, his ship is under new management, and [[The Hero|some dumb kid]] scored the first ever confirmed kills against the UE with a [[Super Prototype|home-made mobile suit]].
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He quite enjoys being deliberately annoying, but he does care about his comrades. He makes a point of looking out for the less-experienced Flit in battle, almost like an older brother.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: From his introduction, Woolf seems more or less like an arrogant prettyboy and irritates everyone he meets. Once he's in a battle situation, though, it's plain that his confidence is fully justified.
* [[Man in White]]: Wears a white pilot suit, has white hair, and flies a white mecha. There's a theme going on here.
Line 202 ⟶ 205:
 
=== Haro ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Aya Endo]] }}
 
Haro is a special computer robot unit developed by Flit during his stay at Nora.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Robot Buddy]]
* [[Series Mascot]]
Line 211 ⟶ 214:
 
=== Stoller Guavaran ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Taiten Kusunoki]] }}
 
A Federal Forces officer on a mission to apprehend Grodek Ainoa.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Commissar Cap]]
* [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]: He looks like [[Inspector Javert]] at first, but he seems interested in Grodek's information about the UE when he first arrests him (he switches back to chase mode after Grodek's crew comes to the rescue). {{spoiler|In episode 12, he decides to let the ''Diva'' continue on its self-proclaimed mission after they defeat an UE ambush}}.
Line 221 ⟶ 224:
 
== Unknown Enemy (UE)/{{spoiler|Vagan}} ==
 
The villains of the piece, the UE appeared out of nowhere 14 years earlier, launching seemingly random attacks on Earth and the space colonies. In one of the attacks they destroyed Flit's colony, and killed his mother. What they want--and indeed what they are--was a mystery. {{spoiler|Their true identity is a group of people left for dead in Mars by the Earth Federation when the Mars Colonization plan failed. Whilst their motives are still unknown, their hatred for the Federation that abandoned them is very apparent.}}
 
'''{{tropelist|Tropes associatedexhibited withby the UE as a whole include:'''}}
* [[Ace Custom]]: The Zedas, a souped-up Gafran that specialises in close combat. {{spoiler|It's Desil's personal suit.}}
* [[Alien Invasion]]: Highly speculated, in and out of series. {{spoiler|Turns out they're human.}}
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: The Baqto features a [[Laser Blade]] built into its right arm.
** The Gafran was displaying this long before the Baqto was introduced, having them produced by their own [[Arm Cannon|hand vulcans]]. The Zedas' tail blade is often held in the same manner, but can be held in a more traditional method as well.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: They always operate in teams, attack military bases before they can mobilise, retreat when faced with superior opposition, shoot down ships and/or weapons before they can be finished launching, bypass individual enemies to focus on the main mission objectives, and have no problem using superweapons when their initial attack fails. So far they've demonstrated a remarkable amount of [[Genre Savvy]], pragmatism and genuine tactical aptitude.
* [[Chest Blaster]]: Standard for UE suits, though the precise kind varies according to the model.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The UE don't really play by standard ''[[Gundam (Anime)|Gundam]]'' rules.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: The Zedas that attacked Nora in episode three carried a pair of beam sabres.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Baqto heavy assault suit, the [[Mighty Glacier]] to the Gafran's [[Fragile Speedster]].
Line 241 ⟶ 243:
* [[Laser Blade]]: The Zedas duel wields beam sabres in its battle with Flit.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: So far the Zedas is this. It's even faster than the already speedy Gafran, heavily armoured enough to shrug off hits from the DOTS-Rifle, and carries two beam sabres that allow it to engage the AGE on an even basis. The Gafran ''was'' this prior to the introduction of the Gundam.
* [[Mecha -Mooks]]: The Gafrans are the UE's standard unit, though they're tougher than many ''Gundam'' [[Mooks]]. The Baqtos are [[Elite Mooks]].
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Baqto is as close to this trope as the mobility-obsessed UE design ethos allows - in other words, the Federation's suits can actually keep up with it.
* [[Power Palms]]: All UE suits feature [[Gatling Good|beam gatlings]] in each palm. In the more advanced models, these can be turned into [[Laser Blade|beam sabres]] for close-quarters combat.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Fans can't seem to agree with the spelling of the UE's real name. {{spoiler|Is it Vagan (currently the most accepted spelling), Veigan, or [[Unfortunate Implications|Vegan]] (by far, the most amusing)?}}
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The Gafrans have a dragon-like alt-mode. The Zedas transforms into a jet/UFO cross.
* [[We Have Reserves]]: They will cheerfully finish off wounded allies, though this may have more to do with ensuring that none of their secrets fall into the hands of their enemies.
* [[Weapons of Mass Destruction]]: The colony destroyer that the Gafrans can mount as an optional weapon.

{{quote| Voiced by: [[Ayahi Takagaki]] (JP)}}
Voiced by: [[Ayahi Takagaki]] (JP)
 
A red-haired boy Flit meets on Fardain. Although he appears to be a young child, Desil seems to have the same abilities as Yurin, and is already a master Mobile Suit pilot. {{spoiler|He is a pilot for Vagan's advance force, and due to his skill is given quite a bit of freedom to act as he pleases}}.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* {{spoiler|[[Arch Enemy]]: Flit's.}}
Line 260 ⟶ 262:
* {{spoiler|[[Blood Knight]]: Desil is probably one of the youngest ([[Complete Monster|and most heinous]]) examples imaginable.}}
* [[Child Soldiers|Child Soldier]]: Of the Precociously Talented type, though it's played for anything but cutesyness.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: His black Khronos.
* [[Creepy Child]]: He's just as cheerful as you'd expect a kid his age to be...but the episode he was introduced in was titled "The Demon Boy" and he has made some rather unsettling comments about Flit's survival.
{{quote| "I hope to meet you again, Flit-oniisan...if you survive long enough, that is."}}
* [[Deliberately Cute Child]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]: To both EDEN and Vagan.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Enfante Terrible]]: Rivals [[Monster (Animemanga)|Johan Liebert]] as [[Complete Monster|one of the most sickeningly evil kids to ever exist in anime.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Is Not Pacifist]]: Desil's obsessed with battles, perhaps more so than [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Ali Al-Saachez,]] which is '''really saying something.'''}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]}}
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
Line 287 ⟶ 289:
* [[Troll]]
* [[Tyke Bomb]]
* {{spoiler|[[War for Fun Andand Profit]]: Not unlike [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Ali Al-Saachez]], Desil fights because ''wars are fun.''}}
 
=== Yark Dore/{{spoiler|Geera Zoi}} ===
{{quote| Voiced by: Yuuichi Nagashima (JP)}}
 
A mysterious man who, with his son Arabel, {{spoiler|commands the Space Fortress Ambat. He is also an [[Arms Dealer]].}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[Arms Dealer]]: as Yark Dore.
* [[Black Cloak]]
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]: Geera and Arabel are revealed in episode 13 to be the co-commanders of the Space Fortress Ambat.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Despite committing many atrocities, he is a genuinely kind and caring father to his son Arabel.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Dozle Zabi]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]
 
=== Lord Ezelcant ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Ryuzaburo Ohtomo]]}}
 
The leader of the UE, and the instigator of the conflict. Geera Zoi implied that his ultimate goals are more than simple revenge against the Earth Sphere, though what exactly those are is unknown.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Anime Hair]]: You know those braidini things? Well, apparently Lord Ezelcant employs a corkscrew for the same purpose. Plus hairspray.}}
* [[Big Bad]]

A young girl Flit rescues as he's fleeing Nora's collapse. She has some kind of extrasensory perception, using it to guide Flit out of the colony. Similarly to Flit, she was orphaned by the UE, and was later adopted by the richest man in the Minsry colony, but has trouble accepting the idea of him as her family. {{spoiler|It is heavily implied that she, like Flit, is an X-Rounder, thus why Decil pressed her into joining Vagan in episode 12}}.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* {{spoiler|[[Barrier Maiden]]: Let's just say Flit's life ''and'' the Hundred Year War both go to hell once she was put in this position and died for it.}}
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Initially. When Flit gets her back to the ship though, she cracks out the smile, and when later seen on Minsry, she's actually quite cheerful (at least when Flit's around).
* [[Expy]]: It didn't take the fans long to notice her uncanny resemblance to [[After War Gundam X (Anime)|Tiffa Adill]]. {{spoiler|But based on the final episodes of Flit's arc, she's also not unlike [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Lalah Sune]]. [[Love Hurts|Poor Flit.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: Entirely against her will.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out with a Smile]]}}
Line 333 ⟶ 335:
* [[The Ojou]]: Sorta, by adoption.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: She has predictive/[[Telepathy|telepathic]] behaviour during combat. {{spoiler|That is one of the telltale signs of her being an X-Rounder.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child]]: When the Veigans got to her, they strapped poor Yurin inside the cockpit of a MS and then used her as an amplifier for Desil's own powers.}}
* [[The Quiet One]]: Seems this way. If Yurin doesn't have anything important to say, she usually doesn't say it.
* {{spoiler|[[Snow Means Death]]: While dying, she shares a psychic vision of her time on Minsry with Flit. As the vision of Minsry's forest ends, the scenery changes and it starts to snow}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: She had about twenty minutes to half an hour of screentime and characterization before the episode in which she dies.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]]: Not unlike Lalah from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam]].'' It is interesting to note, however, that the roles were inverted, that is, the ''villain'' was the one who killed the [[Love Interest]], not the hero. However, it does go down the same way as the death of [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Four Murasame]].}}
* [[When She Smiles]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
 
=== Mukured Madorna ===
{{quote| Voiced by: Hiroshi Shirokuma (JP)}}
 
An independent mobile suit mechanic who runs his own workshop. He's an incredibly talented engineer and designed Woolf's G-Exes and G-Bouncer.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: If you can get past his gruff exterior.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Was asked by Woolf to make him a mobile suit that rivaled the Gundam. He succeeded.
* [[May-December Romance]]: He's got ''23 years'' over his wife.
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Wears them all the time despite his workshop being in the middle of space.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Not that he's ugly per se, but he ''is'' the same age as Vargas. His wife, though...''damn''.
 
=== Alzack Birmings ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (JP)}}
 
An old friend of Don Boyage, he has since moved to the neutral colony of Minsry and adopted Yurin as his daughter. He also helps Grodek plan out an attack against the UE Ambat base, making him a key ally during Diva's campaign against the UE. {{spoiler|Or so it seems...}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Adult Fear]]: {{spoiler|His adopted daughter is abducted by a cult-like group of people. Considering what happens to her later...}}
* [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]]: The man looks like he stepped out of the 1600s.
Line 362 ⟶ 364:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Yurin, although he has trouble connecting with her.
* [[Regal Ringlets]]
 
=== Don Boyage ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Kenta Miyake]] (JP)}}
 
Leader of the Zalam faction of the Fardain colony, which continues to fight despite the reasons for the war being long past. He has the appearance of a gangster boss.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: It should be noted that despite being rather old, Boyage is still willing to go toe-to-toe with the Euba in a mobile suit.
* [[Badass Mustache]]
Line 381 ⟶ 383:
 
=== Ract Elfamel ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Junichi Suwabe]] (JP)}}
 
Leader of the Euba faction of Fardain, whick continues to fight against Zalam despite there really being no reason for them to do so. He styles himself as a chivalrous knight.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Cool Sword]]: His weapon of choice in his Elmeda.
* [[Cultured Warrior]]: Makes himself out to be this.

Voiced by: [[Takuya Eguchi]] (JP)
 
The second protagonist and Flit's son. He's 17 years old at the start of his story.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Always Someone Better]]: He sees himself as second-best to Zeheart in battle {{spoiler|and as the object of Romary's affections}} at first. Add that to his inferiority complex towards his father, and it's no wonder some viewers noticed some [[Sanity Slippage]].
* [[Anime Hair]]: As you can see, it's a spiked mullet with a ponytail. {{spoiler|The spikes get even bigger by the time he's a father}}.
Line 420 ⟶ 422:
** Probably inspired by Woolf's style. The second ED shows Asemu's younger self playing with a G-Exes model.
** Taken to new levels with the Double Bullet. It was designed with dual-wielding in mind.
* [[Expy]]: With his rival being a powerful X-Rounder {{spoiler|and having limited X-Rounder aptitude himself}}, he seems to be developing into AGE's equivalent of {{spoiler|[[After War Gundam X (Anime)|Garrod Ran]].}}
** Personality-wise, he bears similarities to [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (Anime)|Kou Uraki]].
** Since the show acts as being to similar to all 3 of the original Universal Century Shows he counts as the Kamille to Flit's Amuro and Kio's Judau.
** He is also called [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|The White Devil]], although that's more of a [[Mythology Gag]].
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Married]]: With Romary in Episode 28.}}
* [[Hereditary Hairstyle]]: He has Emily's close-cut-with-ponytail, along with the blond gene.
Line 447 ⟶ 449:
* {{spoiler|[[Psychic Powers]]: Averted. Despite being Flit's son, he has not inherited his father's X-Rounder abilities, so it's going to take more than piloting a Gundam to turn him into an [[Ace Pilot]].}}
** {{spoiler|He tries using a mu-szell to artificially make him an X-Rounder, but the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.}}
* [[Red Baron]]: {{spoiler|According to a sidestory manga that takes place in AG 151, Asemu has become known as the White Devil on the battlefield, a moniker he shares [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|with the original Gundam pilot]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Retirony]]: Went MIA on his final mission.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Second Love]]: To Romary.}}
Line 453 ⟶ 455:
* [[Ace Pilot|Super Pilot]]: {{spoiler|Despite not being an X-Rounder and the obvious advantages of being one, Woolf encourages him to improve on, and rely on his own skill and become a Super Pilot to make up for it. Right before Woolf dies, he even tells Asemu to be become the best damn Super Pilot in the world.}}
* {{spoiler|[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Unlike his father, Asemu wastes no time in '''completely obliterating''' Desil after he kills Woolf.}}
* [[Upbringing Makes the Hero]]: Unlike many, many ''Gundam'' protagonists Asemu has [[Good Parents]] whom he deeply loves and respects.
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler|He asks this to Zeheart once the latter reveals himself to be a Vagan.}}
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: He's determined to win the Mobile Suit contest no matter what, in order to impress Flit. Living up to his famous father also pressures him to work hard when he joins the military.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: {{spoiler|he and Zeheart eventually see each other as this.}}
 
=== Flit Asuno ===

A Vice Admiral by the time of the second generation, Flit continues to fight against the Vagan, albeit from a position of authority. As the commander of Big Ring, he makes the strategies with which the Earth Federation fights the Vagan, {{spoiler|and is not above getting back into the AGE-1 and flying into combat himself}}. He is 39 at the start of Asemu's story.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[The Ace]]: His son sees him as this. {{spoiler|As time goes on, this becomes [[Broken Pedestal]].}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV.
Line 471 ⟶ 473:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Even after marrying Emily and having two children together, do '''NOT''' remind him of Yurin's death.
** Also, don't be Desil.
* [[Big Good]]: In the second generation, despite [[Revenge|even]] [[Sanity Slippage|more]] [[My Greatest Failure|complicated]] [[Berserk Button|issues]] than with Grodek in first generation.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Very much so.
* [[Cool Shades]]: Sports these in episode 16.
* [[Expy]]: As an adult, one could argue that he also has a more than passing resemblance to [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Patrick Zala]].
* [[Happily Married]]: To Emily, with two children (Asemu and Unoa). In a subversion, despite caring for his family, after 25 years he shows no signs of forgetting about Yurin's death anytime soon. Very understandable, considering how he lost her.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: His ultimate goal, starting in the second generation, is the extermination of Vagan.
Line 483 ⟶ 485:
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: Yurin's death has all but made him a fanatic for exterminating the Vagans.
* [[Not So Different]]: To Lord Ezelcant. Not only is Flit an X-Rounder, but he also wants to protect his people...even if it means killing every last enemy in his path.
* [[Parents Asas People]]: He loves Asemu and Unoa, but his military position keeps him away from home for long periods of time. He also puts a ''lot'' of pressure on Asemu to carry on the legacy of the Gundam and isn't there to see how much Asemu obsesses over it.
* {{spoiler|[[Please Don't Leave Me]]: "You're leaving me again...." Said when he realizes that Woolf is dead.}}
* [[Revenge]]: Flit's desire for revenge has gone [[Up to Eleven]] due to Yurin's death.

* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: [[Justified Trope]] considering how Yurin's death ''and'' the whole war scarred him.
* {{spoiler|[[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: Seems to be the common reaction after he revealed the purpose of his coup d'etat in episode 28.}}
* [["What the Hell?" Dad]]: Towards Asemu. After the boy joins the military, Flit progressively turns to treating him as a subordinate and not as a son.
** {{spoiler|Moreover, he was nowhere to be seen during his son's wedding. Really, Flit?}}

Flit's wife and Asemu and Yunoa's mother.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[First Girl Wins]]: It's more of a [[Pyrrhic Victory]] for her though, as Flit will never get over letting Yurin die and she's aware of it.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Emily has kept her cute looks after 25 years and giving birth twice.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: For the majority of the second generation. Understandable given that she isn't in the military, but there's no indication that she and Asemu even write to each other.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: See [[First Girl Wins]].

The captain of the ''Diva'', she is the commanding officer of Asemu Asuno.

* [[The Captain]]: She's in command of the ''Diva'' in Asemu's arc. Unlike her predecessor, she got there ''without'' hacking into the Federation database.
** [[The Good Captain]]
* [[Commissar Cap]]: Sports one in the second generation, as per her promotion to captain of the ''Diva''.
* [[Older Than She Looks]]: She definitely ''does not'' look like she is older than Flit, being fifty years old and all.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: Her first appearances as captain show her to be quite good at her job. When Flit starts to use the ''Diva'' as his flagship, though, her role is reduced to something like a glorified chauffeur.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: She's pretty strict with her raw bridge crew and disciplines Asemu for insubordination even though he destroyed both the Vagan suits he was fighting. Because, as she says to Woolf, the enemy won't make allowance for them being "just kids" either.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Rest in Peace, White Wolf. May you keep riding on in the heavens & proud of your protege becoming the Super Pilot he always was.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: The "jerk" part is lipservice by this point; he just tells his squad to stay alive because he has fun annoying his subordinates.

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: {{spoiler|He complained about how boring his fight was with Asemu and Woolf. Later on, Asemu gave him exactly what he wished for and more.}}
* [[The Brute]]: After his younger brother outranked him, he become pretty much this.
* [[Expy]]: By the second generation, Desil has a lot in common with [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Ali Al-Saachez]], and Ali's own model, [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Yazan Gable]], the original ''Gundam'' [[Psycho for Hire]].
** He also looks like Bring Stabity.
** Desil also has a counterpart in a figure from [[Real Life]] military history, that being [[World War OneI]] [[Ace Pilot]] Lothar von Richthofen, brother of the more famous [[Red Baron|Manfred]]. Both were psychotically aggressive [[Blood Knight]]-types and the less accomplished brothers of fellow aces in red machines using considerably more measured tactics (though it should be noted that the real Richthofen brothers had a much better relationship. Manfred lived in constant fear that his brother would get himself killed with his reckless fighting style, whereas Zeheart {{spoiler|coldly sits back and allows that very thing to happen once his brother has proven himself to be a liability}}.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The Gundampedia segment for episode 22 mentioned that Desil's mobile suit, the Khronos, was rumored to have the ability to control other mobile suits. {{spoiler|Guess what he does in episode 26?}}
* [[It's All About Me]]: He hates Flit for having the audacity to defeat him. Still doesn't understand why Flit hates him in turn. {{spoiler|He's still willing to use his own soldiers as [[Cannon Fodder]], too.}}

* [[Sore Loser]]: He throws another hissyfit after {{spoiler|Flit effortlessly rebuffs all of his efforts to attack the Diva}}.
* {{spoiler|[[TheresThere Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Deservedly lands on the receiving end of this in episode 26. Judging from how Asemu completely obliterated every trace of Desil's mobile suit, it's safe to say Desil isn't going to crank a [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Mu La Flaga]] anytime soon.}}
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Despite being an [[Ace Pilot]], he overly relies on his X-Rounder powers, rather than his own personal skill. This got to the point where Flit could hold him back by doing nothing but relaying firing coordinates for the Diva, {{spoiler|and completely over-powered when he could no longer read Asemu's movements.}}

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: Villainous example. Aside from being Zeheart's handler and advisor, he doesn't really do much, he's just given a name, a face, and a personality. {{spoiler|He ultimately dies in a kamikaze attack against the AGE-1.}}

The third protagonist, he is Flit's grandson and Asemu's son. He is 13 years old at the start of his story.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Badass]]: What can you say? It's in his blood.
* [[BFG]]: The AGE-3's SigMaxiss Rifle is essentially a scaled down version of the Diva's Photon Blaster Cannon.
Line 804 ⟶ 803:
* [[Combining Mecha]]: The AGE-3 is the result of the Core Fighter and G-Cepter merging together.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Asemu went missing after Kio was born.
* [[Expy]]: His AGE-3 looks similar to [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|ZZ Gundam]], which makes him the Judau Ashta of AGE.
** He is also similar to [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|Uso Evins]]; both are 13 and played mobile suit simulators at a young age.
* [[Falling Into the Cockpit]]: Subverted. While he said that he can't pilot the G-Ceptor by himself after Flit left, he's good at piloting Gundam. See [[I Know Mortal Kombat]] below.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Physically, he's more or less a [[Gender FlippedFlip]]ped version of his mother Romary.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|When Shanalua tells him that she'll be executed as a spy if she goes back to the ''Diva'' with him.}}
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: The reason he can pilot the AGE-3 so well is because Flit gave him a MS Battle Simulator disguised as a video game when he was younger.
* [[Improbable Age]]: 13, putting him on line with Uso from [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|Victory Gundam]]...
* [[Kid Hero]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Was turning into one of this based on Flit's teachings. Fortunately, Shanalua snapped him out of it.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The AGE Device is all he has left of his father.
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Not only is he an X-Rounder, but so powerful that in his first episode he could detect the Vagan's attack on orbital base Big Ring. '''From Earth'''.
** To further put this into perspective: Kio's X-Rounder abilities are stronger than ''Zeheart's''.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Flit trained him with an MS Simulation game when he was growing up.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Despite his early victories, Kio is still a woefully inexperienced pilot, and relies on his X-Rounder abilities to keep up with his opponents. This was made painfully clear in episode 34, in which he couldn't lay a single hit on the Dark Hound and was more or less flailing around in space.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: He's oblivious to Wootbit's antipathy until Wootbit makes it explicitly clear that he doesn't like Kio. {{spoiler|And when Shanalua is discovered as a spy, he thinks that if he just explains to Grandpa how she's ''really'' a good person she can come back and it'll be all right.}}

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Adventurer Outfit]]: Airman, [[In Space|IN SPACE]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Still a Type IV, but now almost bordering a Type V when it comes to the Vagans.
* '''[[Badass]]''': Age ''still'' hasn't stopped him from being one when he needs to be, 50 years later.
** [[Badass Beard]]: Not just a mustache anymore.
Line 833 ⟶ 832:
* [[Dropping the Bombshell]]: He only hesitated for a second or two before telling Kio who the pilot of the Dark Hound was.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: He's kicked a lot of Vagan ass and saved the Federation from certain doom over 50 years. He's even been Commander-in-Chief. However, almost everyone treats him like crap because he's old and retired, and only Algreus is willing to listen to any ideas he has.
* [[Expy]]: One could compare his third generation appearance to [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Bask Om]], with the goggles and all.
** And to [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Dr. J]] as well, seeing as he developed the Gundam.
* [[General Ripper]]: He's gotten even worse on this count, to the point where the destruction of Vaigan and the extermination of its people is all he lives for now. Shanalua's pretty freaked out by what he's trying to mould Kio into.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: To Natola.

A friend of Kio's from childhood. She follows him when he decides to help some stranded orphans and ends up on the ''Diva'' when it's de-mothballed.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Expy]]: The protagonist's childhood friend? Is assigned to take care of a trio of kids who may or may not be orphans? Wendy is the third generation's equivalent of [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Fraw Bow]].

=== Captain Natola Einus ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Rina Sato]] (JP)}}
 
Newly promoted Captain of the Diva, she is woefully inexperienced with command of a ship and the realities of war, and unhappily aware of it.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Apologizes a Lot]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 862 ⟶ 863:
* [[Nepotism]]: Subverted. She apparently got her initial rank of lieutenant from family connections, but then her promotion to Captain of the Diva was mostly because they wanted her out of the way.
* [[New Meat]]: Abis spots two telltale signs of her inexperience the first time he sets eyes on her.
* [[Nice Girl]]: She's very polite, is quite aware that she's unready to be a captain, takes the initiative to help evacuate a group of civilians, and is shown helping to console young evacuees as early as her second appearance.
* [[Pointy-Haired Boss]]: It's clear that she was promoted to Captain way before she was ready for the position.
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: The Diva was only sent out at Flit's insistence, and so the field commander threw [[Ragtag Band of Misfits|all the problem people he had]] onto the crew, and assigned them a complete newbie of a Captain.
* [[Significant Green-Eyed Redhead]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Natola or Netora?
** Let's not start on her surname.
* [[Unfortunate Name|Unfortunate]] [[Punny Name]]: Her first name is reminiscent of the infamous 'netoare genre', whilst her surname...well, it's pronounced exactly the way you'd hope it wouldn't be.
Line 872 ⟶ 873:
 
=== Seric Abis ===

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----

Line 892 ⟶ 894:
=== Obright Lorain ===
A member of the mobile suit team assigned to the Diva. Pilots the Genoace O-Custom instead of a Clanche.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Ace Custom]]: The Genoace O-Custom.
* [[Beard of Sorrow]]: It looks just like Grodek's.
Line 900 ⟶ 902:
=== Frederick Algreus ===
Flit's former [[Number Two]]. Is now an admiral and in charge of the Federation forces stationed on Earth.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: When Flit requests the Diva's presence, Algreus doesn't even ''hesitate'' to give him permission.
Line 907 ⟶ 909:
 
=== Shanalua Mullen ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Romi Park]]}}
 
A member of the Diva's mobile suit team. She takes over as Kio's combat instructor once the Diva gets moving.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Kio, even if she is a bit stern.
* [[Expy]]: To {{spoiler|[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Miharu Ratokie]]}}, due to their motivations for {{spoiler|spying on the Federation}}.
* [[The Heart]]: Though she's a pilot, she hates killing. Because even the enemy has a family. She also tries to look out for Kio.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Gave her life to protect Kio.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Loran Cehack]] still hates killing the enemy.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: She's working for Vegan, but only because they're paying her enough to cover her sister's medical treatment.}}

=== Wootbit Gunhale ===
{{quote| Voiced by: Shintaro Ohata}}
 
Arisa's son and Dique's grandson. He's Rody's assistant, and doesn't take too kindly to Kio...at first, anyway.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Generation Xerox]]: He's basically a blond version of his grandfather with more attitude.
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Of Rody, and the Madorna clan as a whole.
* [[Jerkass]]: To Kio, at least at first. He thought Kio was a [[Spoiled Brat]]...then he actually sat in the cockpit of the Gundam during a battle. After that, [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|he loosened up.]]
* [[More Expendable Than You]]: Refuses to have Madorna pilot the G-Hopper into the battlefield because he believes Madorna to be more valuable to the ''Diva'' crew, instead volunteering himself to do it.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: [[Inherently Funny Words|Wootbit. Wootbit. Wootbit.]]
* [[War Is Hell]]: Learned this when he watched Kio pilot the Gundam from the G-Hopper's seat.
Line 948 ⟶ 953:
=== Lord Fezarl Ezelcant ===
The leader of Vagan. He began the war in AG 108 to return the descendents of Mars' abandoned colonists to Earth, viewing it as a paradise. He's also an incredibly powerful X-Rounder.

* [[Anime Hair]]: It's hard to concentrate on his speech when you're staring at that corkscrew thing on top of his head....
* [[Big Bad]]
Line 958 ⟶ 963:
=== Zeheart Galette ===
A commander in the Vagan forces who reports directly to Ezelcant. He was in cold sleep for an amount of time between the second and third generation and pilots another custom red suit in the attack on Kio's city.

* [[Ace Custom]]: His red Wrozzo.
* [[Attack Drone]]: Is capable of using bits in the Ghirarga that function similar to [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|GN Fangs]].

* [[Hidden Depths]]: At least to Fram Nara when he names all the soldiers who died in the operation.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Despite his sympathetic nature in Generation 2, he starts this time by attacking a square of celebrating civilians and ignoring the city's military targets.
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Still pilots a red mobile suit, even when it's not a unique model.
Line 972 ⟶ 977:
=== The Phantom Three ===
A group of three Vagan pilots who stationed themselves in the desert. They attacked from beneath the sand, and had already sunk three Federation battleships before they met the Diva. Led by Godom Dynam.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]: The Delta Attack.
* [[Due to Thethe Dead]]: Godom and Gratt pay respect to the fallen Deymon at the end of 31, and vow revenge.
* [[Everything's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]: Their mobile suits have shark-like dorsal fins, which stick above the sand's surface while they're moving beneath the sand.
* [[Expy]]: To the [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Black Tri-Stars]]. They even have their own version of the Jet Stream Attack.

The leader of Bisidian. He pilots Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound.

* [[Space Pirate]]: [[Captain Obvious|Obviously]].
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In third generation, we see him for first time wanting to test if Kio and Flit Asuno are good enough for the AGE system. {{spoiler|Compare it to the beginning of second generation where Asemu wanted to impress his dad. Damn.}}
* [[Vigilante Man]]: {{spoiler|The Bisidians had been taking out Federation Units that were in cahoots with the Vegans}}.
