Rick Aller

Born in one of the space colonies during the time between the 7th and 8th Space War, Rick moved to Earth to start a new life, joining up with a group of performers that are also Vultures and operate on an Alps Class land battle ship named Mirage. While in a competitive mission against another team of Vultures from the Rosa Rosa, Rick comes to the aide of the rival ships captain when her own mercenary mobile suit pilots turn on her to try and get the salvage they discovered. Going on board a sunken United Nations Earth submarine from the 7th Space War, Rick and Rosa discover a Black Gundam X. With the sunken hulk of a submarine under attack, Rick and Rosa decide to use the Gundam to escape, and discover its pilot (Kai) still inside the cockpit in a state of suspended animation. Awakening the pilot they escape together and return to the Mirage, parting ways peacefully with the crew of the Rosa Rosa.

Feeling a strange closeness to the Gundam pilot, Rick tries to befriend him in the hopes of making his new life on the post war Earth a good one. When Kai take off to attack Gaspa in his Gundam X, Rick tries to stop the former UNE pilot from killing the man that he mistaken for a Space Revolutionary Army soldier due to his mobile suit. Piloting a Daughtress, Rick is injured in his attempt to stop Kai and has a vision of the other boy and a strange mobile suit. Recovering from his wounds, Rick confronts Kai as he gets in a fight with the female crew members of the Mirage, causing the other pilot to become even more enraged. Given the control unit to Kai's Black Gundam X, Rick pilots it to try and stop the former U.N.E. pilot as he activates and pilots the same mobile suit from his vision.

Rick and the Black Gundam X are saved by Rosa before the Mirage is destroyed by Kai in his Gundam Belphagor, and taken to a small town to recover from the shock of having his friends killed in battle. As Rick recovers the Gundam is stolen by a crafty mechanic that loves Gundams, and he retrieves it from her only to end up fighting against three strange pilots after the Gundam. Defeating the three, and with a new paint job and weapons provided by the girl that stole his Gundam X, Rick forms a team with her and Rosa in the hopes of finding out what Kai is doing and stop him.
