Anime and Manga / Gundam Trans-Humans
« on: October 19, 2013, 09:58:24 AM »
I was arguing with some of my friends about which of the several trans-Humans in the Gundam metaverse could truly be considered the 'next stage'.

1) Newtypes - in UC, they are a natural adaption of Humans living in space, though their abilities aren't well-defined (it appears to be psychic in nature), and it's never stated if the abilities are passed down from parents to their children.  In AW though, Newtypes are just mutants and are not unique to Humanity.

2) Cyber-Newtypes (UC) - Humans artificially modified to possess Newtype abilities.  They suffer psychological issues as a result.

3) Coordinators (CE) - genetically-modified Humans who are physically superior to ordinary Humans (Naturals).  As a race they suffer progressive sterility from the third generation onwards.

4) Extended Humans (CE) - ordinary Humans augmented by means of drugs or some sort of neural surgery to allow them to keep up with Coordinators, but are highly unstable mentally as a result.

5) Innovators (AD) - a GN Particle-induced evolution that results in enhanced reflexes, increased analytic abilities and spatial awareness, as well as telepathy and an increased life-span.  Due to the rapid growth of the Innovator population in just fifty years, it can be assumed that their abilities are passed on to their children.

6) Innovades (AD) - AIs imprinted onto clone Human bodies that give an 'impression' of Innovators.  They have the same abilities, but are said to be inferior qualitatively.

7) Super Soldiers (AD) - surgically-modified Humans who possess similar abilities as Innovades and Innovators, but may suffer from psychological issues as a result.

8 ) X-Rounders (AG) - Humans who can use generally-inactive areas of the Human brain, although it is stated in-series that their abilities are just a fancy term for a Human's largely-suppressed natural animal instincts.

What are your opinions?

The long war between the Spacenoids and the Earth-born was finally over. Against all odds, the legendary Red Comet, Char Aznable, had surfaced during the final battle, defeated his Cyber-Newtype 'copy' Full Frontal and had secured Laplace's Box...and with it, the future of the entire Earth Sphere. The revelation of the original Universal Century Charter - signed into law by the very first Federation Assembly - had shattered the rule of the Earth-born over the Earth Sphere once and for all. While it was accepted that the Earth Federation would continue to exist - albeit in an entirely different form - no longer would the Earth-born dominate the government. From now on, the Spacenoids would have a fair say in the governance and the future of Humanity. Already some things had changed; for starters, a new Federation Assembly had been convened at von Braun City on the Moon, which had now replaced Dakar as the Federation capital. A new economic system - one not dependent on Earth - was forming, and the strict and biased laws regarding immigration between Earth and the space colonies were being amended.

But the greatest change of all (so far) was the re-establishment of the Principality of Zeon under Sovereign Mineva lao Zabi. Following her coronation at Side 3, which was attended by delegates from all over the Solar System, Mineva swore to restore the tarnished honor of Zeon and to atone for the past mistakes of the Zabi Dynasty. And her first step in doing so was to announce the imminent departure of the entirety of Side 3 from the Solar System by using a new hyper-space fold system integrated into the space colonies of Side 3. Surprisingly enough, her announcement was met with wide acceptance from the people of Side 3; despite the encouraging changes in the Earth Sphere, many wanted to leave the blood-stained realm of Earth and start a new life elsewhere, and Mineva fully understood their sentiments.

"They're really leaving then, I take it?" Amuro said, floating up to Bright's chair on the Ra Cailum's bridge.

"They really are." Beltorchika replied, floating up to stand beside Amuro.

"Captain Bright..." Amuro said, causing the Captain to look at him. "...can we send a final message to Zeon?"

"I suppose we can." Bright replied, making a gesture to the crewman manning the communications console, who began to make the appropriate preparations.

"Captain Char..." an officer called to the blonde Newtype standing beside and quietly conversing with the seated Sovereign in the Zeon command centre. "...we have an incoming message for you from the Federation flagship."

"Patch it through." he replied.

"To the people of Zeon..." the message began. "...Godspeed to you and the stars smile upon your path. Though we may never see each other again, there will always be a place for you here, for you remain and will always be children of the Earth. Farewell."

"That was short..." Mineva noted, but her face had a thoughtful and understanding expression. "...but touching nevertheless. In any case, I believe we have tarried long enough...commence the final preparations."

"All fold systems standing by."

"All colonies report their link to the Side-wide astral-navigation network."

"Signal status...green."

"Execute hyper-space fold jump!"

Amuro, Beltorchika, Bright, and the rest of the Ra Cailum's bridge crew watched in silence as the colonies of Side 3 were wrapped in iridescent globes of light, before vanishing and leaving nothing but empty space behind.

"Godspeed Char..." Amuro whispered his final farewell to his old friend and rival, wrapping an arm around Beltorchika's shoulders while she placed her head on his shoulder, and Bright stood and saluted Zeon's departure on their great journey to find a new life amidst the endless stars.
