Macua Huitl

"Am I a weapon? Yes I am, do I want to be? No I want to be a person. But I'll have to fight to get it."

Macua Huitl, more commonly known as Mach to those who are close to her, seems to be a fairly curious and fairly happy young woman. For the most part this is true, but it isn't totally true. The young Newtype has several things from her past that haunt her, notably having been part of a project for a group within the EFA government. She escaped and has been on the run from them since. As well as seeking the truth about her lost past. Macua,is a New Type of moderate power, she just has flashes of insight on to where he foe may be attacking from, or might move. She's also got a keen awareness and often can be aware of danger in time to have a chance to avoid it. She's also a competent ranged combatant and moblie suit pilot.She's not without flaws however and one is almost the over riding fear that the EFA will try to reclaim her now she's escaped. Which a smart foe could play very well off against her.

Background Information
Background? That's a problem for Macua, she can't really anything past June NC 118. What is known the young pilot first turned up as part of the Freedan's crew and is officially a hire on for defence from pirates and the like. More recently she won a selection Tournament to pick Neo Brazil's Gundam fighter. Since the start of the fight she's carried out her duties between jobs to pay the bills and dealing with the minions of the Devil Gundam.

With the Devil Gundam defeated by a large number of Gundam Fighters and soldiers from the EFA and the DC. The central team was aided by several Orb Aces who had major issues with the Devil Gundam it self.

In the end the infected colony was destroyed by the combined firepower of the entire assembled group destroy it. She's faded a bit from the world stage since the Gundam Fight. Until the fall of Orb where under contract she and several other trailers aided in protecting the civilian evacuation of the main Orb islands.

Since the fall of Orb she's been rather low profile save for the battle against the EFA where they deployed an Gundam X and three GX bits against a ZAFT colony. Needless to say that didn't end well or earn the EFA much favour in her eyes. Not all the EFA is corrupt or evil but there is enough of a cancer to allow that nightmare lose which has her doing some very heavy thinking about her place in the world.

After some thought the entire crew of the Freedan ended up joining the A.E.U.G. She doesn't have any doubts about it. All the information she's been able to dig up points to having been an experimental subject of sub faction of the EFA. There are things in the EFA she feels one can't change internally but have to be changed from without.

Personality Traits
Generally Mach tends not to act like one might think one conditioned a weapon to be, this is in large part of the dreams and memory fragments helping to resurface bits of her original personality. She tends to be curious about a lot of things, given there's many things she doesn't remember after what was done to her. She's just honestly often quite happy just because she's free now and not just a lab animal to someone. Still there are rare times she gets down because she can't recall much of who she is or her past. The memories she's recovered she clings too often going over trying to hope it might trigger more of her past to come back to her. She also sometimes teases those close to her, not out of malice but because she likes and cares about them. Those people who have accepted her despite what she is? Mean the world to her, they see her as a person and not a tool, that means more than she can put into words about her.

Also she feels some empathy for others who have been in situations like her, those used as nothing more than tools of another. It makes her angry to see human beings devalued so much. If there's a reasonable chance she can help them she will try to. Even if just something small. A big part of why? She's been there and who knows how far a little kindness might go to help another.

Though while she's happy enough she is afraid, she's afraid of being dragged back into whatever weapons project she was a part of. She fears having all of herself that's she recovered stolen from her again. She wants to be a person and not a weapon, she will fight with whatever she has at hand if she has to to keep from being captured and dragged back into the research project. Though flight may might also be a choice for her if there's no one she'd leave behind and risk falling prey to them.

However in a fight she's not always calm cool and collected she can get a bit hot blooded and get really in to the fight before she realises what's going on, but she's not prone to get to nuts but she can get passionate about things in a fight as often its for her life or the lives others and she can get invested in that.

Talents & Abilities
Macua is quite the talent pilot, she's adept at ranged combat and is able to hold her own up close in a melee fight between mobile suits. She is also a newtype with her powers starting to come into her own, as Macua has come to terms with just she is just starting to get a handle on what she can do but her strongest areas seem to be short term precog abilities as well as empathy which has been coming more into play during the Devil Gundam Crisis. Her on foot combat skills has been growing since the further training she's been taking since the Gundam Fight and she's become a very competent on foot fighter but she she'll never reach the super human levels some people seem to.

Relationships
One of the first normal people for lack of a better term Macua met after her escape from the lab. After that first meeting where Kaname practically dragged her to Jindai to register the moment she discovered she was not in school. Kaname was responsible for a large part of Macua getting her footing with a normal life as it were. The two have become very good friends even with their diverging interests it's turned out better than one expected a lot of tension was recently dealt with when she came clean with Kaname about being a pilot. It turned out her fears of being rejected by one of her best friends was unfounded.
 * Kaname Chidori

Generally a nice guy but he can be dense at times and she's sort of dating him and does consider him her boyfriend but she's been very worried about his behaviour in many of the job's he's taken. Something going on with her boyfriend and she's not sure what.
 * Kazuma Ardygun


 * Garrod Rand

Basically the little brother she never had. The young man was the one who saved her from death during her escape from the research ship and she's become quite attached to and very protective of him. She knows he can handle himself but sometimes worries about him also she keeps plotting to meddle with his budding relationship with another newtype the Freedan rescued named Tiffa.


 * Meiya Mitsurugi

Another friend from school, Meiya is very well off but she doesn't act like your typical rich kid. What still surprises Macua to this day is that she a very nice person and she's become good friends with her. Though she still doesn't quiet get how loaded Meiya's family is. Also she has no idea Meiya's an EFA pilot and it's best Meiya only knows she's an Gundam Fighter who was looking for a quiet place to go to school. Given her legal status it would put Meiya in a horrible bind if she found out the truth about Macua.


 * Akira Tadokoro

Another friend Macua made in her travels rather than a newtype like her, Akira is a Psychodriver. The two get on quiet well and have been prone at times to get into trouble again. When Akira was taken by the Devil Gundam, Macua didn't stop hounding the man made horror until her friend was freed. He's also bailed her out of several jams and she's quite grateful for that.


 * Spectre

A Mysterious solider of fortune from an group of lost colonies known as the Inner sphere. He's proven to be very professional in his dealings as a merc and has some standards. He's not a saint but he is no monster and he's proven to be a very good source of advice to Macua. She still wonders though what his homeland's like as he's not talked about it much.
