This is a list of fictional characters from the Japanese anime television series, Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and its side spinoff manga. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE is the twelfth TV series of the Gundam media franchise.
Earth Federation
Asuno Family
The first main protagonist of Gundam AGE, he was born the same day as the war with the Vagans, called at the time the "Unknown Enemies" began, also known as "The Day the Angel Fell". While he was still young, Flit and his family were attacked by the UE's at their home colony. It was during this attack that his dying mother provided him with control unit and schematics for the Gundam, leading Flit to spend years developing the "Legendary Mobile Suit" and devotes himself toward the defense of humanity and the defeat of the UEs. He is 14 years old at the start of his story just after his mobile suit, the Gundam AGE-1 is completed. Since the battle at Nora, he has developed precognitive abilities. He latter discovers this is because he is a special type of human called an "X-Rounder", and played a key role at the invasion of the UE's secret base at the Ambat Fortress, where their true origin is revealed. During the 25 years after the battle at Ambat, Flit rose among the ranks of the Earth Federation Forces to the position of Vice Admiral in the war against the Vagans, assuming command of the Military Orbital Station "Big Ring", which is the Federation's last line of defense. He also married his childhood friend Emily and had two children, Asemu and Yunoa with her. After Yurin's death, Flit started loathing the Vagans for waging war against the rest of mankind giving no options for a peace talk, vowing to destroy them all if necessary to put an end to the conflict. During the second Arc, it is shown not only that Flit still excels as a pilot, occasionally assisting his son in battle, but also proves himself as a skilled tactician, successfully leading the Earth Forces to repel the Vagan offensive in several occasions. After exposing the Vagan conspiration involving the Earth Government, Flit kept ascending into the military, reaching the post of commander-in-chief of the Federation Forces before retiring. Upon the Vagan surprise attack on Earth, Flit activates the Gundam AGE-3 and entrusts it to his only grandson Kio. Despite having already retired, Flit uses his influence to have the Diva recommissioned and becomes his own base of operations against the Vagans. Due to its new captain Natola Einus' lack of experience and confidence, Flit acts as the de facto commander of the ship while teaching her to perform her duties properly. Upon learning that his son Asemu has faked his death and joined the Bisidian Pirates, he starts shunning him, claiming he does not have a son anymore, although he agrees with Asemu's plan to allow him lead the mission to rescue Kio after he is captured by the Vagans. Upon reuniting with his son and grandson, Flit rejects their claims that the Vagans should be spared for the sake of ending the war peacefully, as he still has the belief that Earth will only be able to find true peace after having the Vagans all but destroyed and extinct. However, when Flit has the chance to wipe out the main Vagan colony "Second Moon" with a WMD, he is dissuaded by Kio and manages to rally friends and foes alike to prevent its destruction by a rampaging Vagan Gear, effectively putting an end to the war. Decades later, Flit is regarded by history as a savior, not only because he managed to unite both factions in a single cause, but the technology obtained from the AGE System developed by him helped mankind to complete the terraformation of Mars and thus creating enough space for the sustainment of its entire population.
The second main protagonist and the son of Flit and Emily. Just like his father he is a mobile suit enthusiast who dedicates himself to building his own machines with his friends. He was entrusted with the key to the Gundam by his father on his 17th birthday and later he joins the military, piloting the recently completed Gundam AGE-2 as part of Woolf's mobile suit squad. He has a natural talent as a mobile suit pilot but proves not to have inherited his father's X-Rounder powers, leading to an inferiority complex. At one stage he steals a Vagan helmet designed to bring out X-rounder capabilities but is unable to take the strain and ends up unconscious. After his commander Woolf dies while saving him in battle, Asemu takes heed of his last words and commits to being the best pilot in space, X-rounder or not. His anger leads to a new level of power which even Zeheart cannot estimate and he defeats Desil Galette with ease. Asemu then continues to make up for his lack of special powers by perfecting his piloting skills and depending upon the Gundam's potential. After the battle of Nortrum and many successful Vegan battles, Asemu becomes captain of the Earth Special Forces and marries his former schoolmate Romary Stone. As a final tribute to Woolf, the AGE-2 is painted all white and Asemu takes up the wearing of his mentor's uniform. 10 years later, Asemu witnesses the birth of his son Kio before departing on a mission to search for a missing warship. During the mission, he battled the giant Mobile Armor SID, which was guarding the EXA-DB, an ancient database with military weaponry data from before the Silver Chalice Treaty. Severely injured when the AGE-2 was virtually destroyed by SID's beams, he was rescued by the Bisidian space pirates and chose to embrace the life of a Space Pirate with the ulterior motive of battling the corruption of the Federation and keeping the balance of power between both sides in the conflict. The AGE-2 was rebuilt into the AGE-2 Dark Hound but without the AGE system, which was found by the Federation floating in space. Subsequently Asemu is listed as MIA by the Federation, and Kio grows up believing his father to be dead. 13 Years later, Asemu reappears before his father and his son in the Diva, with a completely changed appearance and using the alias of Captain Ash of the Bisidian's Baronoke. He launches an attack on the Diva to measure its strength and claim the AGE System for himself if its crew does not prove itself worthy of it. Upon confirming that the AGE System is in good hands, Asemu entrusts to Kio a capsule containing a message to the Diva crew revealing the existence of EXA-DB. Upon learning of his son's capture, Asemu departs to Vagan with his crew and rescues him. After a brief reunion with his family, Asemu informs Flit that his true objective leading the Bisidians is to ensure that neither the Earth Federation nor the Vagans gain the upper hand, forcing a stalemate in an attempt to have both sides come to terms. During the trip towards La Gramis, the crew of the Baronoke observe a battle and decide to investigate before joining the rest in the final battle. They re-encounter SID at the battle zone, battling Zeheart in Gundam Legilis. Asemu again works together with Zeheart to destroy SID before heading into the asteroid containing the EXA-DB. As Zeheart tries to take the treasure however, the Baronoke fired upon the asteroid according to Asemu's previous orders, destroying the EXA-DB. Surprisingly, Zeheart again chooses to spare Asemu in the disabled Dark Hound, content to have grasped the true power of the Gundam Legilis but vowing to face Asemu again. In the final battle, Asemu encounters a deranged Zeheart attacking Kio. Despite his far less powerful suit, Asemu quickly disables Legilis before attempting to rescue Zeheart. His oldest friend speaks to him one last time before pushing him away, choosing to perish as the Legilis explodes. Zeheart's death only strengthens Asemu's desire to end the war.
The main third protagonist, he is Flit's grandson and the only child of Asemu and Romary. Kio received mobile suit training since childhood without knowing by playing a combat simulator he received from his grandfather. When the Vagan invasion began, Flit entrusts him with his last creation, the Gundam AGE-3. Kio is also an X-Rounder and according to his grandfather, his powers are stronger than those of anyone he has met before, having the potential to bring an end to the war with the Vagans. Upon learning from Flit that Bisidian's leader is his father, he is instructed by his grandfather to forget about him, although he is eager to learn more about him. Soon after, Kio is captured along his Gundam during a joint operation between Zeheart Gallete and fellow Vagan commander Zanald Beyhard and sent to Vagan under custody of their leader Ezelcant, where he learns of the harsh reality of the people in Vagan and Ezelcant's true intentions, until being rescued by the Bisidian space pirates led by Asemu. Upon his return to the Federation, Kio starts piloting another mobile suit developed to keep up with his enhanced X-Rounder abilities, the Gundam AGE-FX, whose precision allows him to defeat enemy mobile suits without killing its pilots, allowing him to follow his newfound resolve to make no casualties among the Vagans, while protecting his comrades at the same time. Despite his crew members advice, he felt that his way was the path to end the war.
