Random Suzaku Kururugi Fact of the Month

Suzaku Kururugi was actually the missing link needed to create the Atomic Bomb. Scientists were baffled on how to fabricate the weapon until Suzaku showed them a Spinzaku in real time. Everything soon became clear to them.

Character of the Month
Wendy Alexis Stalingrad
Wendy Alexis Stalingrad
Wendy Alexis Stalingrad was born to parents of particularly low status in the Holy Britannian Empire. Her mother was a simple chambermaid to the Royal Family and her father was a low ranking soldier in the military. Her father was killed early on when the Black Knights first appeared and her mother was killed soon after when during the Battle of Narita. Sent to live with her grandfather, she spent the better part of her years with him, learning how to be a proud soldier of Britannia. When he too was killed in the line of fire and when the Black Knights finally emerged triumphant, she was left with nothing. As such, she didn't hesitate to join the Britannian Restoration League upon hearing of their creation to get a shot at payback. All she could think of was destroying Zero and 'restoring' her homeland. Now a full fledged member of the BRL, Wendy's specialty is infiltration and espionage and she is often assigned to go undercover in Japan for various reasons. Has a long standing rivalry with Reid Legato, Becca Buchanan, and just about anyone else that gets on her nerves. She is probably well known for her white hot temper and 'shoot first, ask later' disposition.

Happy Birthday?[CLOSED]

Becca Buchanan sat alone at a booth, pondering some shocking news she had received about two days earlier. It all started when she was called over to the main office at Kururugi Military Academy. Apparently, she was being promoted to a soldier and would automatically progress to a major if she joined the squad under command of Gino Weinberg. There was something quite fishy about this whole ordeal, especially considering the fact that she had only started her classes at the academy a little over three months ago. This was what she had wanted, to be a full fledged soldier and make her Dad proud. So why wasn't she one bit happy at this point, even though it was her birthday.

Yes, today is Becca's 17th birthday and much to her dismay, she cannot celebrate it with her family, who has already returned to the USJ, like she would normally do every year. She missed her Mom's homemade birthday cake and her Dad complaining every year about how she was growing up way too fast. Grazing through these memories, she couldn't help but put on a big, idiotic grin. A few passing customers gave her quit interesting looks as a response, but they might as well have been in an alternate universe at this rate.

Not much later on, a waitress in a pretty maid's uniform came to take Becca's order. Not too sure of what she had wanted yet, she sent the waitress away for what was the second time. Hopefully they weren't thinking that Becca was merely loitering in their fine establishment. Once the waitress shuffled away to take another table's order, Becca pulled out her phone and began leafing through messages she had received today. All of them pretty much said the same thing, "Happy Birthday!". Too bad she wasn't having much of a 'Happy Birthday'. She felt more alone than ever right now for some reason.

"Ugh....what should I do.....?", she mumbled to herself, referring to her military woes.

Instead of making any hasty decisions, she place her head down on the table, making her look like one of those old drunkards at the bar. She again received quite a fair amount of stares.

Reid strode into the restaurant and looked around for a moment. He had built a routine in his time within Britannian society; he always ate at this particular restaurant for lunch. Today was different however. Sitting in a booth not five yards from the door was one Becca Buchanan. Taking a seat opposite her Reid said "I understand both Happy Birthday and Congratulations are in order for you missy!" Reid had been informed yesterday that Becca was being promoted and placed into the same unit as he. He felt that the less she knew about his influence in the matter the better and Reid was content to pretend that he had only just heard the news. Upon finishing his statement Reid took a look at Becca's face and saw the sadness in her eyes. At that moment he said "Alright, something's been eating away at you for days now. Spill it." It was high time that Reid dove into what was keeping Becca down all the time. It's not healthy for someone to carry that much sadness on their shoulders. After all, he should know.

Becca glanced over at Reid without picking her head up off the table. For some reason even his presence couldn't break her out of this depression. If anything, she was tempted to return to the woods and see if Aoi was there and wanted to chat it up, it had been a short while since she had seen him. Was he even anywhere near here anymore? She did recall him saying that he had an apartment, but she couldn't recall if he said it's direct location. Well, for now she would have to chat it up with Reid, a situation that wasn't bad at all considering the fact that he understood partially what she was going though.

"This promotion....it's too fishy for me to decipher. I'd think my Dad had something to do with it, but there's no way he'd help me advance since he didn't even want me enlisting in the first place. I know my skills are good, but so are many other cadets. Why pick me? And not to mention the huge feeling of homesickness I'm going through....totally depressing...."

Rising her head up from th table, she flipped open the rather oversized menu provided for her. The assortment they had seemed overall reasonable, but a few items did make her raise a few eyebrows. An example was the Valentine's couple meal set that came with a cake that had sparklers sticking out of it from all sides. Settling with one menu item, she motioned for the waitress to come and take their orders. Happy that Becca had ended her loitering, the waitress strode on over with a bit of haste.

"May I help you?", she asked in that polite restaurant tone.

"Yes, I'll have a Lunch Set B please, and this new drink right here.", replied Becca, showing the waitress just what it was that she was talking about.

Jogging all that down, the waitress now turned to Reid.

"And what'll it be?"

Reid looked over at the waitress and said "Oh, I'll have the usual." With that the waitress nodded and left with their orders. Turning his attention back to Becca, Reid pondered over what she had just said. "Ah, homesickness. A feeling I haven't had in a long time. I find it best to not think about why things happen. Instead focus on the fact that they happened and try to make the best of it. Its obvious that our superiors thought highly enough of you to promote you so try to make the best of it. As a full fledged soldier you're no longer bound to the academy as long as you're not pursuing extra training. might I suggest you take the opertunity to go back to Japan and patch things up with your family? Its best to be on good terms with them... While you still can be..." Reid then sat back and let his words sink in.

Becca let Reid's words sink in fully. She knew in every aspect that he was right, but she for some reason just couldn't drop the feeling that someone or something had a role in her promotion. For now, she decided to drop it and focus solely on today's events, you only get one birthday a year. Perhaps Reid was also right about Becca needing to go and patch things up with her parents. she was so tired of griping about the same things everyday, and this trip would give her the closure she needed with them. Gazing over at a family eating their meal together at a window seat, Becca sighed heavily and quickly switched her focus back to Reid.

"So Reid, how did you know it's my birthday today? I don't remember spilling the beans about it...", she went on, propping her head in her hands.

She wanted Reid to talk about himself more because it seems like he is aways focused on helping other people with their problems. There weren't many selfless people like him on this planet anymore, so she felt a tad luckily to have met at least one selfless person in her life so far. Still, Reid seemed like such a mystery to Becca, she can't even recall Reid ever talking about his childhood or personal life in general.

Gazing over toward the front counter of the establishment, Becca could see that the waitress from earlier was now engrossed in a shouting match with one of her fellow waiters. It was actually quite the funny sight to see and even made Becca giggle.

"Reid, how come you never talk about yourself", she finally inquired while still gazing at the commotion across the restaurant.

Reid smiled at Becca's first question and said "Let's just say I have my ways and leave it at that." Chuckling after this statement, Reid took in the environment around him for a bit. Becca's next inquisition came a bit more close to Reid and he had to return his attention to her. "Hm, me? Never really thought there was much to tell. My life is a story full of a lot of hardships and sighs. But, in all fairness I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have? Where would you like me to start? Reid felt safe telling Becca at least a little bit about himself, he was sure she'd keep it to herself. He thought It might be nice having someone else know about my problems...

Becca switched her gaze from the commotion and back to Reid. She didn't even have to beg him to share his life story, not that she would anyway. If a person wasn't ready to tell the world of their past, then Becca wouldn't force them to. So, what should she ask first? Would asking about his family be a horrible topic to start on? Probably, especially considering her own situation wasn't currently the best.

"Where did you grow up? And what were you like as a kid?", she inquired.

Surely Reid has gone through some hardships to become the person his is today. Becca always imagined that such calm and collected people have seen a lot of things and matured off of that. Picking a toothpick out of a canister, Becca then began to twirl it around between her teeth, obviously in need of some entertainment.

Reid thought back for a moment and then began. "I was born here in Britannia. In fact, not too far from here. My family was very wealthy for a while,. considered part of the highest class in the country. We regularly met with Generals, royalty; The whole works. As a child I was very carefree, unfocused. I didn't have a care in the world during my childhood. Then, that day happened." Reid then tensed up slightly. The day his world turned upside down was still a very touchy subject for him.

Becca wondered if she should ask any further, it looked like whatever happened on this day was quite a touchy subject for him. Still, he did bring it up, and it would probably b too lat to even forget that he said it. Going against her usual rule, Becca decided to go a bit further, hoping that Reid would share his problems with her.

"Reid, you can talk to me. Tell me, what exactly happened to you on 'that day'?"

She hoped that Reid would open up, because keeping such a incident in for this long must've been a lot on his shoulders. A moment later, the waitress returned to the table, her attitude obviously much more foul than the previous one. She nearly slammed the plates in th table and muttered a "enjoy" before shuffling on back to her argument. As she waited for Reid to speak to her, she picked up a fork and began to pick at her meal.

Reid thanked the waitress for the food as she hurried off in a foul mood. After taking a drink from the coffee that came with his usual lunch of grilled cheese Reid continued. "My family had built our fortune on military contracts. We supplied Britannia with the bombs and weapons necessary to defeat any opponent. We were even the prime investors and producers of the F.L.E.J.A Warheads. That all changed with the Black Rebellion. Although he was a proud Britannian my Father sympathized with the Japanese much like I do. He began to sell his weapons to both Britannians and Black Knights. This was ultimately exposed to the Britannian public with some rather nasty complications..." Taking a break, Reid ate some of his lunch and drank some more coffee. The environment in the dinner had began to die down, with the lunch rush beginning to file out. Resuming his story, Reid said "My father was tried for treason and found guilty. They executed him and tarnished our name. Not many Britannians want to associate with the family of a known enemy of the state. My mother and I were forced to move into the common areas of Britannia, and even then we were looked down on by everyone except the Japanese. We made many Japanaese friends once we moved. I met my best friends and I was happy, for a time. After we moved my Mother had a bought of depression. She climbed into bed one day and refused to get out. Losing my Father sapped the life out of her. Three months after he died so did my mom. A few months after that I decided to join the military. At the same time my best friend joined the Black Knights. I told him not to, I wanted him to stay behind with his younger sister but he refused, said it was something he "needed to do". Haven't seen either one of them since. I refused to run my Father's company so a board of directors took over all control and rights to the company. It still hasn't regained the following it once had..." Reid finished his story by saying "And that's all there is to say about that. Anything else you wanna know? I did meet this girl a few months ago but I haven't seemed to be able to find her since." Reid then chuckled lightly and went back to eating his food. His story had left a cold and empty silence on the table.
