X-Rounder

Kio's X-Rounder Ability

X-Rounder is the classification of human beings that have superhuman abilities to utilize the typically unused "X-Region" of the human brain in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

Description & Characteristics

X-Rounders, as described by Grodek during his conversation with Flit( in one occasion after he sensed Desil fighting in a Zedas) are the humans who are able to use the X-Region of their brains thus: improving their spatial awareness and in turn improving sense of timing and life, gaining acute precognitive abilities in combat. This is proven true as they are able to predict when and where their enemies attack might reach them though not always as accurate as they predict(due to various reasons such as: oponent's combat proficiency and X-rounder development). X-Rouders tend to act like normal humans. Their special traits are primarily shown in battles as they can outperform experienced pilots whom lack development in the X-Region of their brain, except those who are remarkably experienced in battles, especially against the X-Rounders. An X-Rounder can lose control of his/her abilities, as shown by Girard Spriggan.

History

Little was known about the first appearance of X-Rounders. According to Grodek Ainoa, X-Rounders are a group of humans that are able to use their brain's X-Region. Fezarl Ezelcant, the leader of the Vagans, claims that X-Roounders are a regression of humanity.

Both the Vagan and Earth Federation researched about X-Rounders and their effectiveness in combat. The Vagan are the first to employ X-Rounder pilots into their ranks, as well as possessing the most advanced in X-Rounder research. As such, the Vagan created much more X-Rounder-use mobile suits than the Federation during the Earth and Vagan conflict.

The Federation is rather late about X-Rounder research when it began as a project supervised by first Federation's X-Rounder, Flit Asuno, several years after War of Bat Extermination was over. At least one known Federation X-Rounder research accident happened.

Use in Military

Vagan employs most Martian X-Rounders into their ranks due to their precognition ability that surpass normal humans. They even have the technology that force its pilots to manifest their X-Region abilities(at the cost of internal bleeding of brain and general character imbalance). It's one of the reason Federation has hard times facing even against a simple Vagan platoon.
