Personality & Character
He's a typical young man interested in women. He's kind and friendly to everyone on board Ptolemaios, but not always mindful of operations at times. He's not good at reading peoples feelings, but always curious what others are doing whenever he gets bored.
Skills & Abilities
History
Youth
When Lichty was younger, he lost his parents and most of his body. During the solar wars, his parents were elevator technicians and were killed during the conflict. It was never specified how Lichty's body was more machine that flesh, but it's speculated that his body was badly damaged during the solar wars and resulted him to become a cyborg. Some time in the past he was recruited into Celestial Being as helmsman.
Celestial Being
During his time on board Ptolemy, when he isn't piloting or working on ship systems, he makes fruitless attempts to impress Christina Sierra. While helping her complete her assignments in episode 10, he didn't realize that they were detected and almost got the crew caught in a surprise attack by HRL's Sergei Smirnov. Later in the series he was left in charge piloting Ptolemaios solo as Lasse Aeon teamed up with Setsuna in a separate mission.
Death
During episode 24, UN Forces attacked and badly damaged Ptolemy. While fending off units with single combat container a GN-X fired onto the main bridge. Lichtendahl quickly sprung out of his seat and shielded Christina Sierra from the blast. Even though they survived the blast, Lichty was badly wounded. Lichty's right side body was torn apart, revealing his cybernetic body. He was glad they managed to survive the blast and it was there that Christina accepted his feelings for her. Lichty was happy for Chris to return his feelings, but died shortly after that. His body was vaporized when Ptolemy's bridge section exploded along with Christina Sierra.
Relationships
Parents
Not much is revealed about Lichty's parents, only they got separated when he was young and never seen them again. They were orbital elevator technicians and he lost contact with them during the solar wars.
Celestial Being
Veda
It's unclear regarding Veda's reasons for recruiting Lichty, but it can be assumed it was based on his piloting capabilities that Veda wanted him for the Ptolemaios.
Crew of Ptolemaios
The series doesn't actually go in depth about the relationships or bonds between crew members on board the Ptolemy, it can only be guessed based on observation through the series since there are no official publications for finer definitions of each character's feelings and bonds between each other.
Christina Sierra
He has romantic intentions towards Christina and attempted to do nice things for her to show his sincerity, but she wasn't his type (according to her). Even though Christina is aware of Lichty's feelings, she maintains a friendly and professional relationship on board Ptolemaios. During episode 24, Lichty protected Christina from a energy blast towards the bridge of Ptolemaios. As Lichty was dying, Christina felt foolish and blind to not realize that the man she's looking for was in front of her the whole time. Lichty was happy and suddenly died, Christina held his body and shortly after they were both caught in a overload that vaporized them both.
Sumeragi Lee Noriega
They have a friendly commander and subordinate relationship. Though not close, Lichty listens to Sumeragi because she's the commander of the Ptolemy and tells him how to steer Ptolemy when making tactical decisions.
Feldt Grace
Feldt and Lichty maintains a quiet and professional relationship on board Ptolemy. They were never close, only work together when necessary.
Lasse Aeon
Lichty works with Lasse often since they are co-pilots of Ptolemy. It's not clear the depth of their friendship, but Lichty is very friendly with Lasse while Lasse seems stern with him.
Joyce Moreno
He's the doctor on board the Ptolemy and while never seen talking together, it suggests that Lichty goes and see Dr. Moreno for all things health related.
Ian Vashti
Ian maintains a friendly relationship with Lichty. It was unclear how close they were, but when Lichty died, Ian mourned for his death.
Gundam Meister's
While Lichty is friendly to all the Gundam Meister's, they tend not to talk to him. Because he doesn't see to have any unique bonds with the Meister's, it's only assumed that they're not interested in talking to him.
