Flit Asuno

Flit Asuno (フリット・アスノ) is the main protagonist of the story in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. He is both a young Mobile Suit Developer and Pilot of the paramilitary organization Earth Federal Forces. He pilots the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal and all its variants.

Personality and Character
In many ways Flit's personality is a dichotomy. He is generally a very friendly person who is easy to get along with. He could also be considered hopeful from his constant belief that the Gundam will turn the tide of the war. When it comes to the Gundam Flit takes everything very seriously, getting very angry with even friends if they mess with the mobile suit without his permission.

He also has a very negative view of the UE, calling them monsters. His classmates and teachers believe Flit is a bit paranoid as the boy insists that its only a matter of time before the UE attack Nora. Most people say that the UE only attack remote locations in space, even though they had already destroyed two colonies, however Flit insists that there is a pattern to their attacks, a formula that if cracked will tell you where their next attack will be.

Skills & Capabilities
Flit Asuno is a recognized genius and is the principal engineer behind the creation of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal. Though not a soldier his great intimacy and knowledge of the Gundam makes him the most qualified person to pilot it.

Early Childhood
In his early childhood Flit Asuno lived at the Asuno mansion in the Ovan colony with his mother and a butler. It was here he first heard and became enamored with the stories of the Gundam, a savior that his family built in the old wars.

In AG 108 the UE attacked Ovan, destroying the colony. Flit was one of the few survivors, though his home was destroyed and his mother killed. He moved to the colony Nora where he began working with the Earth Federal Forces to develop a mobile suit that could defeat the UE.

First Sortie
In the year AG 115 the UE attacked the colony Nora. On that day the Gundam's mobility tests had been completed. Seeing all of the Earth Federal Forces weapons being systematically wiped out, Flit had no choice but to activate the Gundam and use it to fight, even if it was against the wishes of his elders who were uncertain if the Gundam was ready to fight. However Flit proved the Gundam was ready, and defeated a Gafran with the Gundam's beam dagger. This was the first victory against the UE in 14 years of war.

The remaining two Gafran scanned the Gundam, destroyed their fallen comrade, and retreated. Once at a safe distance they utilized a colony destroyer weapon on Nora.
