CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!
The game's pretty big isn't it? With so many characters it's sometimes hard to keep up with everyone's canon and character backgrounds. Not to mention that the apps aren't always placed in the character's journal, and it leaves you wondering how they are, or even where they come from.
WELL WONDER NO MORE! It's time for a canon and character night!
The idea behind this post is primarily an information exchange. Just fill in this form, and think about factoids and things in a list form. Remember, you're trying to sell your character & canon to others, so talk about what makes them unique and fun. With any luck, you'll learn some new things about other people's characters that you can base relationships or friendships on, or even find a new fandom which catches your interest!
Note: Please mark the top of your thread with the canon. This way, other people in your canon can add whatever they want to it, such as their character stuff, and other cool factoids about the canon that they might remember.
You are perfectly fine and more than allowed to ask questions about the fandoms to the other players if you wish as well!

Canon: MOBILE FIGHTER G GUNDAM
Interesting things about the character:
- Like any good Gundam Pilot she has a pretty sucky past--she was orphaned as a child and subsequently raised by the Neo-Swedish military to become the perfect Gundam Fighter.
- She can put away pretty impressive quantities of food (e.g. a grocery bag full of meat buns).
- Got mind-controlled twice in the series, which makes her detest even so much as an MRI. (most of her haaaaaaaaaate for Stacy stems from this.)
- She can jump around like a freaking grasshopper, punch so fast her fists are a blur, and throw beam energy from her bare hands because of TRAINING.
- She sees nothing wrong with her Gundam's design; all the other Gundams are just plain.
- She is all about loyalty to her friends! ...and not at all about paying attention to authority. As we have recently seen.
- Helped save Earth from a giant Cthulu-like humanity-hating Gundam... thing.
- Kind of becomes an unofficial member of the Shuffle Alliance (the five Gundam Fighters whose job it is to like... protect Earth and fair play and stuff).
Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- It is made of lots of and not at all of like... reasonable physics. Or much reasonable anything.
- In fact, the director proudly said in an interview that he made a conscious decision not to worry about if it made sense, so long as it looked cool.
- This is the series with the Mexican Gundam with a sombrero, the Canadian Gundam that's a lumberjack, the American boxer-football-player Gundam, ETC. ETC.
- This is because the premise of the show is that after most wealthy humans move to space colonies, nations signed a treaty to hold a Gundam Fight every four years to decide which nation rules supreme. This acts as a replacement for real wars. BASICALLY it's the Olymics WITH GIANT ROBOTS.
- There is also a horse Gundam. Not a Gundam shaped like a horse, a Gundam that is piloted by a horse.
- People rise out of shadows in the floor, punch giant skyscrapers out of the ground, have their fists randomly burst into flame, and none of this is weird at all.
- IT ALSO HAS AN ENVIRONMENTALIST MESSAGE not even kidding.
- The series is watchable here (http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/g-gundam/page/2)! It's the dubbed version, but even if you hate dubs it doesn't matter much because 1/3 of the dialogue is "GRRRRRRRRR!" and "RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" anyway.
Anything else?:
Actual, official canon dialogue.
I have about 500 screencaps from this series (not exaggerating) so IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME MORE EXAMPLES OF GREATNESS, do ask....

Another 1/3 of the dialogue will include the following words or phrases in sentences: "communicate with your fists", soul, fists, battle, [insert unintentionally quasi-flirtatious dialogue between protagonist and one of his Shuffle bros], KING OF HEARTS, "martial artists", [insert someone's full name shouted at the top of the speaker's lungs], WITH THE HELP OF KYOJIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
