Childhood[]
Mori Youkou was born in the Homeikaku Village, situated in the mountain range surrounding Mt. Kyuuseichou. He is the only child of his parents, one a technician and the other an amateur artist. While the couple was excited about their new child, it would not last as a strange illness struck the village months later. The two would die as a result, having caught the sickness through unknown means. Mori, by sheer luck, never caught the plague-like disease despite being around two of its carriers for the entire time.
Now orphaned, Mori was taken in by the Kawabata Family, friends of the Youkous before most of them were wiped out, raising the surviving one in their household as one of their own. Having been too young when his parents died, all Mori had to go on were the recollections of those who knew them, their belongings, pictures, and other such items. However, throughout his life, he would have a reoccurring nightmare of a hazy hellish landscape; red skies and black seas, the lands scorched with no life in sight, except for a large amorphous being in the distance looking directly at him.
Mori would keep these dreams to himself, but he would end up expressing them through creative means, such as drawings and clay sculptures of the being. As time went by, the dreams became more vivid and the being took on a more and more defined shape. Mori would see it with two horns spread across its head, a long chin, and seemingly wearing some kind of armor over itself. The only thing that remained unclear was its eyes, which only ever glowed a deep and violent red aimed at him.
He would grow up around childhood friends Tsuki Kawabata, first child of the Kawabatas, and Don Hasha, member of the Hasha Family. He would end up sharing the dreams with them.
Az's Awakening[]
Mori had led a normal if directionless life in the village from his childhood to now, in the middle of his teenage years. While the dream would persist to his current life, it had come to him for so long that it no longer phased him. One day, however, the dream came more intensely, with the distant monster now moving closer and closer to Mori. In the morning, he would feel a slight sense of dread looming over him, unsure what was wrong or what was going to happen. He would tell Tsuki and Don about the dream, with them trying to reassure Mori, but their words ultimately fell on deaf ears.
In the afternoon, the whole mountain range would become the stage of an attack by Babylon Breaker, who are attempting to brute force their search of a secret base owned by the Exploratory Outer Space Corps. They indiscriminately fire upon the range, when mobile suits hidden in the mountain forests suddenly fire back at the attack force, galvanizing the force's resolve to continue their mission now that they know the EOSC is trying to protect something.
Mori, Tsuki, and Don get caught up in the ensuing battle between the hidden EOSC forces and Babylon Breaker forces. Attempting to hide, Mori saw a small group separating from the evacuating village folk to go elsewhere. As if caught under a spell, Mori followed behind this group and abandoned his friends in their safe place. He justified it to himself as attempting to figure out why the attack on the village was happening
He ended up inside the mountain, realizing that the entire inside of it had been converted into a military base and scientific facility under the nose of the village this entire time. As the outside of the mountainside shook from the fighting and energy weapon bombardments, Mori was wandering the increasingly abandoned facility, with him somehow ending up inside of the loading bay and face-to-face with the 81612-126 Gundam Az. He immediately recognized it as the same shape as the being from his dream, now out in the light and seemingly looking down at him. He realized it was a mobile suit and felt a sudden and intense compulsion to hop aboard it, despite not knowing anything about piloting such a machine. He quickly believed that his impulse came from his desire to protect the village and his friends, which allowed him to board the Az.
The cockpit lit up as soon as Mori was inside, revealing its unusual bronze-gold colored configuration. As soon as he instinctively manages to turn on the mobile suit, he felt as though he had been there before, despite having never seen it in his life. However, the loading bay doors soon ruptured, letting in the enemy which spotted the Az.
Mori launched in the Az Gundam and was overpowering the enemy forces's 27G-B01 Chesed units with ease. Mori couldn't believe how he was easily adapting to the controls of the Gundam, as if he had already knew how. This lucky streak wouldn't last, however, as he soon became overwhelmed by the enemy, with one Chesed crushing the Gundam under its weight and attempt to smash the cockpit unit apart with its hands. The strikes opened up a back unit inside the cockpit, where glowing light flooded the entire interior from.
Suddenly, Mori's entire being convulsed in pain as the interior reacted to the light, resonating a soft uncomfortable hum with it. Blood slowly poured from every tip of Mori's body; eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingertips, etc, as the pain reached heights of mental fragility. Mori's hazel irises turned blood red and his black hair shifted to white, just as he was knocked out and the Gundam began to move on its own. Under this Berserker state, Gundam Az ripped apart the attacking Chesed like a hungry monster, destroying the suit and killing its pilot. The attack force fled and, in response, Az deactivated and stood still on top of its ravaged enemy.
Az, along with the unconscious Mori inside, would be recovered by a single EPKF ACOS4514 Keter mobile suit piloted by Wayword Damascus and brought back inside the Project HPL compound. This would be where Mori in his altered form would be found and be taken down to the base's medical base for a blood transfusion, with everyone from the village concerned for Mori.
Germinating Seed[]
For the following week since the attack, Mori would be in a coma while the village people, with the aid and knowledge of Damascus, set up surveillance and automated defenses around a 10 km radius of the entire mountain range.
