Use the “Original Generations” and “Original Generation Gaiden” for history since those are the applicable ones. The others are different universes.

Personality:
Axel is a man with a lot of anger but nowhere to put it. A man who wants to kill a certain person but that person no longer exists. A man who has a war to fight but the war is already over. He has very little direction in life which adds to the built in anger he carries. But despite all that, he's not completely lost. After being defeated by a man he heartily disliked, Kyosuke Nanbu, he was on the verge of death. But he was saved by a girl named Alfimi, who kept him alive while he kept her in existence. Because of that, the two are now tied to each other and give each other a reason to keep existing.

Axel has grown past many of his grudges after seeing the bigger picture, ironically granted to him by being defeated in battle. He is the protagonist's main rival who, after being beat down by the protagonist, has turned to the side of good. Axel was never 'bad' to begin with except his goals were to incite an everlasting war across multiple dimensions and worlds, which would hopefully induce a scientific revolution through war. He was simply misguided. Despite that, he possesses a strong feeling of honor and loyalty. Even in the end, when it was just himself and his leader left alive, he continued to fight out of a sense of loyalty, knowing that his methods of advancing human civilization were wrong.

He possesses an odd dislike for anything he considers a 'puppet' or a 'doll'. Making up these things are androids, bioroids, and the like. He hates them because they act human while not being human. But there was one, Lamia Loveless, who gained his respect. Despite her formally being an enemy and a traitor to Axel, during a situation where Lamia was going to self-destruct, Axel canceled it and saved her life. This gained Axel the trust of Kyosuke Nanbu and, instead of being hated enemies, they became respected rivals. Axel claimed he saved Lamia because despite the fact that she was an android, she had become more human than him due to her decisions that clearly were in direct contradiction with her programming.

Axel is a good leader who is inspiring the those who fight under him. However, he has no ambitions of climbing to the top of any command structure. He's most comfortable with a few people serving under him and answering to a higher authority. Indeed, Axel is a puppet, a contradiction to what he comes to hate. He justifies this to himself by saying he is willing to be in such a position.

With other people, Axel is generally an upbeat guy until they press his buttons. That anger explodes during moments where he faces his foe Beowulf or anyone who is an Einst, a type of alien. Or when 'dolls' or 'puppets' decide to question him. Lamia is the only one who can get away with that due to the respect he possesses for her. But without those buttons, he is easy to get along with and easy to befriend, saving his anger for battle and using it to power himself.

Abilities: Aside from being a hand-to-hand combat and taijutsu expert, Axel does possess some low level ki abilities. They are very reminiscent of the same abilities that his mech, Soulgain, display and they were granted to him by Alfimi. His primary weapon outside of his mech is a Mizuchi blade, a tonfa that unfolds into a bladed tonfa. With that, he combines wind strikes powered by ki, various taijutsu techniques, and some ki blasts.

Sample Entry:
Axel prodded a few buttons while standing in the cockpit of his machine, the Soulgain. Prodded was the only word he could use as the buttons were more of a free floating light that detected his finger as he hit them. The machine's database held lots of information ranging from battle tactics to attacks he could complete with the machine. But he was looking for one function in particular; the battle recorder.

He didn't know what had come over him but there was something he wanted to watch again. And again and again. Axel had laid there unconscious during that part of the fight. His machine mostly destroyed, the cockpit caved in with him barely hanging onto life. But the sensors still worked and they recorded what had happened. What had taken place within the White Star. The last moments of Lemon Browning, the creator of the W-Series and the one person he had something that could be considered feelings for.

Admittedly, when the playback started, there was a slight squeeze of adrenaline. It came from the typical rush of battle and could hardly be avoided by any veteran. Especially one of Axel's caliber. But he continued watching coldly as the sensor data poured forth and was reconstructed by a small simulator. No sense in getting worked up or emotional when it wouldn't change a thing. As the recording came to a close, he shut it off. It was just a reminder of what he needed to continue to fight for. Not that he needed one as he shut off his machine and hopped out of the hatch.

He had what he needed right here. The blue haired girl who was his current partner, Alfimi, smiled up at him as he came down to the ground. He owed this girl his life so, in return, he would follow her and protect her as best as he could. That's what he would do with his life and watching Lemon's death reminded him of that. It was a shame that Alfimi's voice was far too deadpan and creepy to match the current smile on her face. Axel peered back down at her with a little dismay, wondering if there was going to be a bad situation in the future.

“Come on, Alfimi. Let's go. Even you've got things to do, I bet!” He shot her smile and led the way out of the hangar. She, of course, trailed behind him. Off into the not-quite so great unknown again, the wavering Alchemist and her Dark Knight.
