Family:

Unknown. Around age seven, I think, he got picked up by Odin Lowe, who taught him gunmanship and other such talents. When Lowe died, Dr. J found him and took him. The old coot trained Heero in how to use Wing and a bunch of other dark, macabre things. The training Heero had to undergo in order to be the Heero we know is entirely up to you to imagine.

Background:

Heero was raised by an assassin named Odin Lowe. Lowe had assassinated the original Heero Yuy, a pacifist leader of the colonies (irony galore here). When Heero was seven years, Lowe was killed. Little Heero showed absolutely no emotion over this, and instead leveled a bazooka rifle almost bigger than he was and totally destroyed an Alliance building. While walking away, he saw Doctor J. in an alley. Remembering what Lowe told him just before he died - "Always act on your emotions" - Heero accepted Doctor J.'s offer to pilot a Gundam. Rumor has it that Doctor J.'s training methods were less than kind and compassionate - downright brutal. Though this theory is unsubstantiated, that's what people think... and it's certainly been put to work in a lot of fanfics. One thing is for certain: Heero has been trained not to show emotion. This, conflicting with his mantra of acting on his emotions, makes for some, er, interesting scenes. He's also known for hardly ever smiling - pictures like the main image picture on this page are rare. He usually has a very indifferent expression on his face, if not an outright and grumpy lil frown.

My take:

Heero is the second most-messed up character in Gundam Wing (Trowa eclipsed him by a narrow margin). He wants to let his emotions guide him, but isn't quite sure how. He wants to be strong but thinks he's unworthy of any strength. He's suicidal, and the only thing he really has to hold on to is his mission, whatever it may be. Despite his training, though, we are allowed to see some hints of emotion in Heero. For example, remember the episode where Une ordered an entire base to be blown up so that the Gundams would be blown up along with it? Well, remember how Sally Po exhorted Heero to save the base by preventing the nuclear warheads from going off, and Heero did it, even though he absolutely didn't have to? He said, "I deserve to die for my mistake, but I can't die now," or something like that. ::sniffle:: Oh, Hee-chan! I have no dearth of maternal feelings for the poor, confuzzled kid. Though if he came to me with Relena Peacecraft as a girlfriend, I'd slap him right off the bat. Now, if he came home with a certain braided maniac boyfriend, however... heh, heh heh...

Special Characteristics:

The gundanium-alloy skin. Heero seems to be freaking MADE of gundanium-alloy. Sally Po (back when she was still a doctor of the Alliance) said that he had over 250 small broken bones but no visible signs of them. That's just scary. He falls fifty freaking stories in episode three or something, and all he gets is a broken leg. (And that comment from Duo, "If you couldn't die after all that, you'd better think of a really good way to kill yourself.") Oh, and Heero set his own broken leg. He, um, wrenched it back together. Duo was like, "Please, I just had my lunch!" Geez, I understand that sentiment. So we've got gundanium-alloy Heero... Then there's his outfit. His typical outfit is a green tanktop and TIGHT spandex shorts, the bare minimum needed for clothing, I guess. (I want to know HOW he can wear those spandex shorts and not geld himself.) That stuff is made of gundanium-alloy too - after the fifty-story fall, there wasn't even a scratch. And when he self-destructed - he was in a COMA from the force of the blow, and his outfit had not a rip, not a tear in it! How does he DO that? WHERE does he buy his clothing?!

Romantic Pairings:

Here's the clincher. Are you a yaoi or a non-yaoi person? Yaoi basically means boy/boy romantic pairings. If you're anti-yaoi, please... go away. Jump off a cliff. Rid this world of yourself... Anyway, the de facto partner for Heero in yaoi-fandom is none other than the manically cheerful pilot of Gundam 02, Duo Maxwell. They seem to have such awesome chemistry, honestly! Heero is silent and grouchy... Duo is talkative and annoying (sometimes! ~_^)... Duo just might be the perfect person to drag Heero out of his shell. Plus, myself being a die-hard yaoi fan, Relena-*hater* and Duo-lover, I just can't help but put them together. But that's just me.

If you're easily disgusted by something like yaoi, then obviously the non-yaoi pairing would be for you. Heero and Relena Peacecraft. I can't stand this pairing, just like I can't stand that gross yellow blob named Relena Dorklian-Pieceofcrap (Yes! I'm immature! I glory in it!). Paraphrasing the Katsu no Miko's immortal words, "Indifference plus obsession does NOT equal love." Heero is indifferent towards Relena, and tolerates her because he promised to protect her. Since Heero is gifted with being able to understand people and what they want, Heero uses his knowledge of what Relena wants in order to mess around with her mind, like when he took her helmet (in which her head occupied space) in his hands, drew her close, told her some "stuff" (I forget. Wasn't it about allowing him to protect her...?), and then pushed her away. (Boy, did I ever CHEER!) For Heero, Relena is like the physical avatar of his mission. Remember Endless Waltz's little girl? The innocent little girl he accidentally killed? Relena is another innocent little girl... and this time, Heero has the power to save her. That's what I believe their "relationship" is. The only way I could possibly see them together is in a very unhappy marriage for Heero. Relena would have to see, sooner or later, that his heart had never been given to her, and Heero wouldn't be able to live a lie.

Plus, Relena scares me... she has crossed continents to get to Heero. She interrupted a fight between Zechs and Heero in the Antarctic to deliver Heero a letter. She looks through everyone else in favor of Heero, she's constantly thinking about him, he's almost always on her mind. I remember when Heero and Zechs are fighting in space. Her one brother, her sole surviving family member, her long-lost brother who has only gone on living for her sake, is fighting against Heero. Does she stop and think, "Oh my God, my only brother could be killed?" NO! She speaks to her invisible friend and whispers tremulously, "Heero..." Ugh, how disgustingly typical of that naive girl. You don't believe she's naive? Check this out.

 [in Sank kingdom]

Dorothy: Relena-sama, what would you if stupid, war-loving Romefeller barbarians came to attack Sank?
Relena: I don't believe anyone in this world is truly stupid.

::coughcoughlookinthemirrorcoughcough:: About two episodes later, Romefeller attacks, and Relena lets the Sank kingdom fall, destroying her only brother's sanity. That girl . . . !!!!

I just don't like her, and how she seems to change her mind and her definition of what's right so quickly and so often. I'm sorry, I don't think Relena is a good influence on Heero. He'll have nightmares and she'll drown him in syrup. Heero doesn't deserve that. Heero does deserve Duo. At least Duo and Heero would be able to understand each other, yanno? They were both Gundam pilots, they're both familiar with the feeling of self-sacrifice, they can counsel each other, etc. And they both know with what price peace is brought, something Princess Peacock can't ever relate to.

Oh yes. Sometimes Heero and Trowa are paired together. Personally I don't see this, like I explain in Trowa's section. First of all, Duo and Quatre exist. Second of all, Heero's already known to be confused about what Duo (::grudgingly:: and Relena) mean to him. He can't take on another emotional responsibility. Besides, Heero and Trowa have almost exactly the same problems, with a marked lack of dissimilarities like exist between Heero and Duo. They wouldn't be able to reach out to each other... they're not quite the reaching-out type, if you understand what I mean. It's not even their fault, the poor dears, but still.
