He loves doing impersonations of people, usually high ranking officials, and telling stories and singing songs at any tavern or inn. He is hardworking and wants to someday make a name for himself as a Captain of a warship. But Trowa also has a darker side. Being part Nepleslian, Trowa has a bit of a violent temper. He is very careful not to let it show but sometimes, when he is pushed to far, Trowa explodes. He has a personal code he lives by which is that all life forms deserve the chance to earn respect, anyone who abuses those who cannot defend themselves are scum, and that you stick by your friends no matter what others may think.

Getting married and starting his own family has taken quite an edge off his former rogue self, but Trowa still lives by his own personal code.

Trowa lost the an eye just after boot camp. He was both subconscious and proud about his cybernetic eye, being part Nepleslian. Since Yamataian culture frowned on cybernetics, Trowa as though others looked down on him. But at the same time, he was proud because it made him unique and he was never one to care what others thought of him. So, at the suggestion of his mother, Trowa kept his cybernetic eye covered by a black eye patch made of a translucent martial. Trowa can see out of it, but no one can see his cybernetic eye, unless one looks very closely.

Trowa's first assignment was aboard the YSS Aeon, a ship that had such an impact on him that he named his daughter after the ship. He took part in several credible actions in the Aeon including the Second Mishhuvurthyar War. However, a training exercise injury, and some miss filed paperwork, led to Trowa being stationed at a defense post while the Aeon continued fighting the war without him.

During this time Trowa meet a beautiful, dark-skinned woman called Estrella. The young rogue fell for her and fell hard. He gave up his all night drinking, his bar-room brawls and his womanizing to be with his “Star” as he called her. They were married in the the Year 36 and set up a home near the base Trowa was assigned. Though a first class ship pilot, Trowa kept getting passed over on new assignments and with the Aeon fighting the war deep in uncharted space, there was no way he could get a transfer to her.

Over the next 5 years Trowa kept up to date of the Aeon's movements, celebrating her victories. He was especially proud when he heard his old Taii Ise Katae had been promoted to a Taisa. He even named his first daughter after the ship, Yamamoto Elanor Aeon. That was why he took the news of the destruction of the Aeon so hard. Trowa felt a huge regret that he had not been there when the ship went down. When he heard that the Aeon II was being constructed, he used all his influence to get reassigned to her.

Trowa is a fun guy who loves to entertain people with jokes, songs, stories and impersonations. He has a knack for imitating accents. Most of what he learned was from when he traveled with his mother. She taught him how to fill many rolls on stage and many times Trowa would imitate an accent of some of the other actors.

Trowa is fiercely loyal to his friends and shipmates. It is a quality he holds very high. He will stand by his friends no matter the odds.

Trowa is a descent fighter. His reflexes are quick but he lacks style. He learned basic hand to hand combat from his father which helped a lot when he went to basic training, followed up with a rigorous training program. Trowa learned many a knife trick from his mother, who used to perform in the circus. He always has a “pencil sharpener” (throwing knife) and a boot knife on him. Trowa became skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons during boot camp. His training included energy pistols, knives, and power armor. Trowa also has a fascination with weapons. His favorites are revolvers, which he likes to wear in a cross-draw holster.

During his “desk job” period, Trowa stayed up to date with his hand to hand combat skills and even some special forces training, as well as becoming a proficient marksman.

Trowa is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Trowais fluent in both Nepleslian and Yamataian. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. He also has an ear for accents and can, with a little practice pick up on dialects and accents and mimic them.

Trowa is very observant and a quick learner. Growing up, when he heard a new accent, he would listen to it as much as possible, then go home and practice speaking like that for hours. After a few days he would go and try it out on a native speaker. Sometimes he was able to fool the native speaker, other times he was way off. But he’s very persistent at it. He is fluent in both Nepleslian and Yamataian, which he learned from his parents.

Trowa is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. He is proficient in entering and/or searching for information. Trowa has also studied basic cybernetics and is capable of doing his own repairs and modifications, to a point, on his cybernetic eye.

Trowa received basic Starship Operations training. His real skill comes from his time serving aboard the Aeon. Trowa is a gifted pilot and can really make starship dance.

This seems to be a lost prototype mecha that was being secretly developed, but was lost at the battle of Glimmergold. Though it's rather large, it's also quite fast.
