About this title

Synopsis

It is the year 4088. It has been over one thousand years since the Crisis of Systems (Lost Property), which resulted in the destruction of four planetary systems, leaving only a single inhabitable planet, Zion. Mankind is forced to live in space colonies, since that one planet is constantly being invaded by alien life forms that have come to be known as Victim. To stop the aliens and to allow people to land on Zion, mankind has developed the astronomical humanoid weapons, Ingrids, also known as Goddesses. G.O.A. (Goddess Operation Academy) is a school dedicated to the training of young men to pilot these Ingrids... (Source: Tokyopop)

Age: 15 Blood Type: EO Height: 156 cm Weight: 48 kg Zero (his real name "Rei" is the kanji representing number 0) lost his father when he was very young and was raised by his mother on a remote colony. Cheerful and optimistic to the extreme, Zero hides his fears and refuses to ever be depressed. His straightforward and optimistic personality sometimes grates on others. A bit thickheaded, he&#039;s not the smartest candidate, but he can move with the best of them. His piloting abilities are like carbon that hasn&#039;t yet been formed into a diamond. Zero hasn&#039;t yet mastered his EX. His number is 88 and his Repairer is Kizna Towryk. Source: Wikipedia

Age: 15 Blood Type: OX Height: 154 cm Weight: ? kg A Repairer Candidate. Her partner is Zero Enna. She can be just as earnest and competitive as her partner and sometimes speaks roughly, but she is very feminine in some ways. With her straightforward character, she has won the friendship of all her peers. She has dexterous fingers and a skilled Repairer. Her favorite foods are sweet things. When Kizna was a little girl she had a bad accident that caused her to have her ears replaced with artificial cat's ears that rest atop her red hair which she will hide under a hat. This works fairly well until Zero accidentally knocks her hat off and she says she hates him. Kizna is Zero's repairer and after some time begins to bond with him on a certain level and is determined to help him be the best pilot he can be since she missed her chance to be one.

Age: 18 Blood Type: EO Height: 168 cm Weight: 57 kg Ingrid: Agui Keameia Repairer: Philphleora Deed Rio is what&#039;s called a cheerful idiot, even though he has a rather arrogant personality. But he&#039;s easily the most gentle pilot and most easily moved to tears. Quite the flirt, he is always competing with Gar. He seems like a player, but he secretly only likes his mechanic, Philphleora. Rio recognizes Teela as the leader. He tends to say, "--ssu." A contraction of "desu" which indicates he&#039;s not showing as much respect as he should. Rio&#039;s body is fit and toned. He&#039;s the fourth in a big family. His little brother, who is also blood type EO, is expected to soon enter G.O.A. Source: Wikipedia
