Personality

 

Ryder used to be a lot more pleasant, but after seeing the horrors of war, he has become cold and distant to many people. He'll frequently try to avoid social interaction, only doing so when it's necessary for a mission or to profit from something. He's very methodical and will remain serious at all times, which is seen as a turn-off by some. He's not afraid to speak up in some situations though. He's a hard worker who's constantly working on battle plans, in order to be successful as a soldier for the AEUG. He strives for leadership, wanting to rise up the ranks of the AEUG as he did with the Titans. He feels that he would be able to help them become victorious.

Strengths and weaknesses

Even if he doesn't show it, he won't let his team down. He's an expert tactician who can quickly figure out the enemy's plan in the middle of a battle. Because of his reconnaissance experience, he prefers to and is very good at defeating the enemy from afar, without being seen. His experience as a leader will come in handy during battle.

However, his close combat skills are far from perfect and he may ignore the orders of his superiors to benefit himself. Ryder wants to make a name for himself in the AEUG and the only way he'll reach that is by being successful. Because of this, he'll frequently try to steal kills, even when it's not the best opportunity to do so. He may challenge the orders of his superiors too. 

Also, because of his past as a Titan, his peers may not trust him as much as the average soldier. His past has made him somewhat selfish, feeling like he deserves a higher position because of what he's done for the AEUG. This mindset can make others uncomfortable.

Appearance

Ryder usually wears a red shirt along with his brother's old jacket. It means a lot to him since it was a gift from his brother before he left for war. His pilot uniform is colored orange, which is standard for AEUG pilots. He'll make an attempt to impress people by appearing as if he cares, but it's all a way to benefit himself. He's in good physical shape

History

Born July 2nd, 0062, Ryder lived on a space colony located in Side 5 with his parents and his older brother, Len. Once the One Year War broke out, Len joined the federation and was killed during the battle of A Baoa Qu. Ryder felt that his brother's death was pointless and held a personal vendetta against the Principality of Zeon. Against his parent's wishes, he joined the Federation in 0082, becoming a mobile suit pilot for reconnaissance missions. 

While he was no ace, he was a competent pilot who followed orders. Other teammates did notice his skills as a long-range sniper, so he was given control of a GM Sniper II. After the Delaz Conflict, he became a member of the Titans and was offered a much better mobile suit, but he decided to keep his GM Sniper, painting it in the standard Titan colors. Ryder thought that he could avenge his brother's death by joining the Titans, a unit specifically meant for hunting down Zeon loyalists. This never gave him closure though, and he felt empty. 

Ryder worked hard over the next two years. He even became a lieutenant, a rarity for someone his age. It was also that time when he was made a part of a special assignment. A colony in Side 1 was holding a protest and the Titans wanted to silence them. They decided to gas the colony, killing the entire population. Ryder watched in terror as the citizens died. This act of atrocity in 0085 changed him forever and he wanted nothing to do with the Titans anymore, comparing them to Zeon. Ryder planned on just deserting, but he learned about a new group formed to resist the Titans, called the AEUG. They were just starting out and they needed all the help they could get.

Ryder would've joined them right then, but he realized that his position in the Titans could benefit them. Ryder began purposefully leaking top-secret information to them, hoping some of it could benefit them. Like many others, he wanted to eventually become the Titans leader (so he could destroy them from the inside) and began to work even harder for a faction he despised. By the time the Gryps Conflict began, he had become a commander with his own MS squadron. With this new rank came lots of information that "accidentally" got leaked to the AEUG. As the war went on, Ryder enjoyed his status and loved telling people what to do. At that point though, Ryder was caught as a spy. The Titans tortured him for days, attempted to force him to give out AEUG secrets. Ryder couldn't since he never actually met with the AEUG.

Near the end of the conflict, the ship Ryder was a prisoner on got attacked by an AEUG vessel. It's elite MS squadron captured many members of the Titans vessel. At first, none of the AEUG members believed that he leaked information, but after some convincing, Ryder managed to prove his innocence. The captain of the ship researched Ryder and gave him two options, either go to a POW camp with the others or join the AEUG as a pilot. Ryder chose the latter.

Ryder was sent to Von Braun shortly before the final battle against the Titans. For him, missing the conflict was great because barely anyone returned from the battle, with most dead or missing. The AEUG's new leader, Ben Grimsdottir, has recruited him and another pilot, Nicky Lavie, for a top-secret mission aboard a mercenary ship called the Firefly. Ryder's one of the only experienced pilots left, so he's been asked to be apart of this ragtag group's MS squadron. Ryder will do anything to lead the AEUG to victory since it's the only home he has left.

I’m liking the character! Looks pretty straight forward to me.

[Valiant 96]

It's a good start but it could do with more fleshing out. Might want to avoid the stereotype of a loner, or at least make it sound more plausible through descriptions instead of simply stating that he is. Rank will be assigned by the faction leaders.

Ok thanks!

How do I edit it?

Here's a second draft. I've also replaced possessions with things more important like mobile suits.

Biography

Full name: Ryder Sarka

 

Faction: A.E.U.G.

Rank: N/A

Age: 25

Sex: Male

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 170 lbs

Eyes: Gray

Hair: Black

Skin: Lightly tanned

Personality:

Ryder used to be a lot more pleasant, but after seeing the horrors of war, he has become cold and distant to many people. He'll frequently try to avoid social interaction, only doing so when it's necessary for a mission. He's very methodical (unless harm comes to him) and will remain serious at all times, which is seen as a turn-off by some. He's a hard worker who's constantly working on battle plans, in order to be successful as a soldier for the A.E.U.G. He wants to make the A.E.U.G. his new home, but the way he acts hasn't helped with that.

Strengths and weaknesses:

Even if he doesn't show it, he won't let his team down. He's an expert tactician who can quickly figure out the enemy's plan in the middle of a battle. Because of his reconnaissance experience, he prefers to and is very good at defeating the enemy from afar, without being seen.

However, his close combat skills are far from perfect and he may ignore the orders of his superiors so that he can live. Ryder fears death and will do anything to prevent that, even if harm comes to his squadmates. He doesn't intend to, but he instinctively does so.

Also, because of his past as a Titan, his peers may not trust him as much as the average soldier.

Appearance:

Ryder doesn't care about what people think about him. He frequently slouches and doesn't wear his A.E.U.G. uniform, much to the dismay of the captain. He's in good athletic shape. If he's on an important mission, he'll put up a facade and try harder, in order to benefit himself. 

History:

Born July 2nd, 0063, Ryder lived on a space colony located in Side 5 with his parents and his older brother, Len. Once the One Year War broke out, Len joined the federation and killed during the battle of A Baoa Qu. Ryder felt that his brother's death was pointless and held a personal vendetta against the Principality of Zeon. Against his parent's wishes, he joined the Federation in 0082, becoming a mobile suit pilot for reconnaissance missions. 

While he was no ace, he was a competent pilot who followed orders, but never saw much action against any Zeon Remnants. After the Delaz Conflict, he became a member of the Titans, thinking that he could avenge his brother's death by joining a unit specifically meant for hunting down any Zeon loyalists. This never gave him closure though, and he felt empty. 

After hearing about the Colony 30 Incident, Ryder dispised the Titans as much as Zeon. Wanting to leave the group, he later learned about the A.E.U.G. and felt that they were the only group he could trust. He realized that staying with the Titans could benefit them, so over the course of the Gryps Conflict, he began to leak top secret information to the A.E.U.G. However, near the end of the war, he was almost caught. He abandoned the Titans and returned home, only for his parents to tell him to leave and never come back.

Now, in 0088, he has officially joined the A.E.U.G. as a mobile suit pilot, understanding that they will need all the help they can get against Neo Zeon. Ryder Sarka is ready to do whatever he can to help win this war.
