Overview: As a Soldier
Still the leader between him, Auel, and Stellar, Sting normally gives the orders while on a mission. For example, the raid on armory 1 at PLANT’s military factory. He instructs them on what to do when the fight has gotten tough and thinks they need some guidance to pull through. For these missions, he always seems to be the first to take action and knows all the details needed to complete them; again, illustrated in episode 1. Auel and Stellar usually only commence their part in the fight when Sting has given the order to do so or has taken the offensive already.
In combat, Sting is aggressive when it comes to attacking, but it is balanced out with his defensive skills. His speed in a mobile suit is remarkable, as are his defensive abilities with Chaos’s shield. Using long range weaponry, Sting’s aim is incredible and would be sure to have taken Shinn and Impulse down by now if it weren’t for Impulse’s stupid shield ^^ Sting also proves that you don’t have to be a Newtype to control detachable weaponry well, such as the armaments on Mwu La Fllaga’s Moebius Zero or Rey's Legend, because he controls the missile barrels on his Chaos fluently. Although aggressive, he knows when to stop and retreat for the time being, unlike his two comrades.
Though piloting a mobile suit may be his greatest skill as a soldier, Sting is still almost as good as Auel with hand weapons. When using the guns provided for him in the first episode, he charged right in and hit all his opponents easily. Plus, he knows how to use a grenade properly xD Props to him for not being an idiot -^^-
It is obvious that being a soldier has hardened him, but being in the midst of a battle and in the cockpit of a mobile suit sometimes brings a crazed, ecstatic expression to his face. The war has obviously carved away at him and his kind aspects that he now only shows at the rarest of moments. (Reminds me of Athrun... ;-;)
