Name: Benjamin Regard
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Faction: Earth Federation
Rank: Ensign/2nd Lieutenant
Place of Birth: Side 2
Personality: In the 17 years of his life, the one thing Benjamin has been consistently called was down to earth. Laidback, relaxed, always taking things at his own pace. There was little that could permanently get the man down and those who met him knew it. From the loss of his home in the Principality’s opening war declaration to his brief time as a refugee to his training and deployment to North America, Ben always tried to see the bright side of things and it was something of a relief to those already weary of the destructive war that's ruined so many lives already.
Appearance:
Though an active soldier of the Federation forces, Benjamin's appearance isn't what one would expect. Rather than a traditionally muscular frame, a life of healthy eating and exercise has left Ben with a lean body akin to that of a track runner. Additionally, he styles his hair into an easily recognizable mini-afro. More often than not, Ben can be found in the short-sleeved version of the Federation uniform with his collar undone and a pair of aviators hanging from the chest pocket.
History: Born in Colony 23 of Side 2, Benjamin’s past is somewhat of a touchy subject. Born to a working class family, Benjamin’s life was largely uneventful despite the growing calls for spacenoid independence from the Earth Federation. Sure, he heard all the reasons. No representation, it was overcrowded, living conditions were terrible, Earth was a glorious place filled with the rich big wigs of the Federation. Things that anyone would be concerned about on some level but when making a living was a priority, those things ended up on the backburner. Ben had to help his family with the bills and a distant Side’s increasingly violent calls weren’t going to change that anytime soon.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans in mind. On January 3rd of 0079, the Principality of Zeon declared a war of independence on the Earth Federation, striking at multiple colonies from the various Sides including his home colony in Side 2. Though he and his immediate family were one of the lucky ones to be evacuated in time, Ben still saw firsthand what lengths Zeon would go to for victory when they pumped his home full of poison gas, killing millions. Following this, Ben and his family were relocated to Side 6 as refugees for a time, the war stalling briefly before ramping up with Zeon’s Earth operations.
It was around September that Ben had become fed up with simply sitting around waiting for the war to end and volunteered to join the fight. Despite his parent’s wishes, Ben had signed up with the hopes of being a mobile suit pilot and by November, he had accomplished just that. Fresh out of training at Luna II, Ben was transferred down to North America as a GM Cannon pilot to join a growing Mobile Corps tasked with reclaiming the continent.
