Background
Long Fei was an otaku with interests in Gundam, science fiction, history, and military technology in his previous life. After dying in a car accident, he reincarnated into a wealthy family in the technologically advanced Earth Sphere. He retained complete technical knowledge from the Gundam works and science-fiction media he had known, including the ability to dismantle and redesign their technologies 1 22.
After his parents' deaths, Long Fei inherited their assets. At age 21, he transferred those assets to his sisters, left Earth Sphere space in secret, bought an abandoned mining factory in a meteorite belt, and refitted it into both an arms factory and a mercenary base 1.
He founded Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company and the Skywing Mercenary Group. Li Xiucheng helped establish the organizations, while retired colonel Li Jiaming was entrusted with managing the mercenary force 1.
Appearance
Long Fei has the features of a gentle scholar combined with the bearing of a tough man. He is reasonably handsome, sturdily built, and became leaner as his work expanded 22.
- Often wears a black trench-coat suit during formal negotiations and public appearances 273.
- Uses the Sparta Battle Suit II, fitted with a psycho-frame, when personally entering combat 778.
- His youth was a major source of public shock after his identity as Skywing Group's leader was exposed; he was still under 25 at the time 151.
Personality
Long Fei is independent, intensely work-driven, and pragmatic. He left his inherited wealth behind to build an organization on his own terms, then personally handled much of its research, design, strategy, and expansion 1 114.
As a leader, he values capable subordinates and prioritizes pilot survivability in his designs. He delegates responsibilities to trusted personnel, rewards achievement, and listens to technical input, but remains exacting when reviewing reports or judging performance 8 212 303.
He is often aloof toward public attention and media scrutiny, refusing interviews and walking away from reporters during operations 75 229. He can also be forceful toward those who insult his family or threaten his interests 121.
Long Fei's compassion is tempered by business-minded calculation. He offered work, food, and shelter to refugees, while openly treating their employment as beneficial to his company; later, Skywing Group exploited the defeated Metadeng Nation's dependence to finance military development 171 316.
Politically, he opposes the belief that Newtypes are inherently superior to other humans. He advocates equality among ordinary humans, Newtypes, and Coordinators, regarding Fadis's Newtype ideology as a destructive source of discrimination and division 402 644.
Abilities & Skills
Newtype Abilities
Long Fei is a powerful Newtype with advanced spatial awareness, danger sensing, telepathic sensitivity, and mental-control capabilities.

Mecha Engineering and Scientific Knowledge
Long Fei possesses technical data and theoretical expertise that originated from his previous life's science-fiction knowledge. He can adapt concepts that exceed his world's existing industrial capacity into workable designs 1 9.

- Established red-versus-blue simulations across Skywing bases to prepare forces for disadvantageous combat conditions 303.
- Personally planned technological preparation for conflict with the Dion Empire, including remote-controlled Taurus and Birgo combat groups directed by Newtype mental commands 413.
