[edit] Personality And Traits

29 year-old Tetsuya Onodera knows he still has much to learn, if he wants to become a capable officer in the Earth Federation Army. As the protege to the experienced and wise Captain Daitetsu Minase, his commanding and leadership skills grow greatly throughout the events of the Original Generation universe, while holding high regards to his mentor. Unlike Daitetsu, Tetsuya has a low tolerance for alcohol, and is usually joked around by the original cast for this weakness.

[edit] History

Tetsuya Onodera spent his youth training to become an officer at an Earth Federation academy, alongside Lee Linjun. Tetsuya would remain in second among his graduating class, bested by Lee, who considered Tetsuya an unworthy rival during their studies. Upon graduating, Tetsuya would be assigned to the position of executive officer aboard the Hagane, alongside Captain Daitetsu Minase. He would participate over the course of the Divine Crusaders War and the L5 Campaign, bringing the Earth Federation to victory over the Divine Crusaders and the Aerogaters.

While quelling the outbreaks of the Divine Crusader Remnants from the previous war, Tetsuya would reacquaint with Lee, now captain of the Shirogane. But like before, Lee was just as cold and demeaning towards Tetsuya, noting that he will never be as great an influence like him. Disturbed, but undeterred by Lee's words, Tetsuya would continue serving his post, until Operation Plantagenet, when the Shadow-Mirror delivered a surprise attack on the Earth Federation forces, with Lee defecting to the mysterious faction. A hit from the Shirogane to the Hagane would force the battleship to retreat, but at the cost of Daitetsu's life, who succumbed to severe injuries.

Seeing a need for a captain, the Earth Federation Army would assign Tetsuya to be Daitetsu's replacement, though Tetsuya was reluctant in accepting the role, rather opting to call his new post a "temporary position", as a means to respect his deceased mentor. Regardless, he would assume command of Rätsel Feinschmecker's Kurogane battleship, relocating out of the Hagane, while it was docked for repairs, and continue with the new campaign against the Shadow-Mirror, as well as the Inspectors and the Einst. During the climax of the battle with the Shadow-Mirror at the White Star, he re-encountered Lee and rammed the Kurogane's Titanic Drill to the charging Shirogane, killing Lee and avenging Daitetsu's death. However, in Original Generations, Lee managed to escape, retconning his demise. Original Generation 2 concludes with Tetsuya, now accepting his position as captain of the repaired Hagane. He also seems to have a crush on the captain of the Hiryu, Lefina Enfield.

In Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Animation, Tetsuya would lead the ATX Team and SRX Team during the Bartool uprising.
