Carris Nautilus (カリス・ノーティラス Karisu Nōtirasu?) is a character that appears in the After War Gundam X series.
Personality & Character[]
Carris became a Cyber Newtype in an effort to protect people. He is kind and wants the best for people, even if it means being unethical.
Skills & Abilities[]
Carris is a Cyber Newtype, which makes him extremely proficient in battle and allows him to control bits with his Mobile Suit. He was strong enough to defeat Garrod Ran, Witz Sou and Roybea Loy all by himself.[1]
History[]
Carris Nautilus was born sometime after the massive colony drop that ended the 7th Space War. Growing up in a harsh environment, he eventually settled in Fort Severn. Looking for a way to protect the people, he allowed Nomoa Long to use him in an experiment, turning him into a Cyber Newtype.
With his new abilities, Carris was able to pilot the RMSN-008 Bertigo and use its bits to defend Fort Severn from hostile forces. His skills as a mobile suit pilot allowed him to become one of the leaders of the settlement. Under orders of Nomoa Long, Carris carried out an attack on the Freeden and captured Tiffa Adill, severely damaging the Gundam X in the process.[1] Carris is told that he is not allowed to meet with Tiffa, though eventually does so anyway. He is surprised to learn that she was a natural Newtype and was unaware that this was possible.[2]
Tiffa is eventually rescued by Garrod and although Carris pursues them, he is forced to stop due to a seizure caused by his cyber Newtype side effects. He later confronts Nomoa about her being a natural Newtype. He reads Nemoa's mind during the conversation and figures out that he is just being used, and that Nemoa is a warmonger who only wants destruction. He fights Garrod again and is met with defeat, thanks in part to the upgrades to the Gundam X into the Gundam X Divider and Garrod's observation of Jamil on how to combat the Bertigo's bits. Throughout the battle, Garrod tries to reason with him. Carris is depressed but unable to kill himself, trying instead to force Garrod to shoot him in self defence.[3]
He survives and soon surrenders to Garrod's attempts at friendship, only to be taken by Ennil El back to Fort Severn where Nomoa Long used him as the control center for the MAN-003 Patulia. The crew of the Freeden were able to rescue Carris and he remained at Fort Severn to help rebuild the settlement.[4]
Carris later came to the rescue of the Freeden's crew with the help of the North American Resistance Force, freeing them from a New United Nations Earth execution squad.[5] Carris joined them in stealing a ship so they could travel to space and take part in the 8th Space War, which he named the Freeden II.[6] He travelled with the Freeden crew and fought alongside them. He was also present when D.O.M.E revealed the truth about Newtypes. At the end of the series, he leaves Garrod and Tiffa and goes on his own journey, wanting to think long and hard about what D.O.M.E said.[7]
Relationships[]
Tiffa Adil[]
Carris feels an affinity for Tiffa, as they are both Newtypes. He asks for her help when he is forced to pilot the Patulia[4] and later becomes friends with her after the death of Nomoa.
Garrod Ran[]
Carris initially looks down on Garrod, but comes to respect him after he overcomes Carris' Newtype abilities and defeats him in battle. When Garrod encourages him to keep living and to become friends, Carris listens and accepts.[4] He helps him later on in the series and supports his relationship with Tiffa, not wanting to get in their way.[7]
