“

Memphis Longhand is confident and the world tells you that makes Memphis Longhand an asshole because the world is not ready for people like Memphis Longhand.”

– Memphis Longhand, The Road to PARTIZAN 05: Ech0 & Dusk to Midnight

Memphis Longhand was an OriCom famous athlete who played on the Metropolitans piloting the Queenside Castle and produced propaganda.

Memphis Longhand was an exceptional mech pilot and who was drafted into the war that would become the Divine Clash and holds a low opinion and belief in the war as a result. He later fought in the Divine Clash in the OriCom Logistics Division and was part of a mission transporting the Divine Courageous, and later moved the EDICT System onto the planet Grona.

Memphis Longhand always did an involved gestural ritual before launching the Queenside Castle and to celebrate successes (like Sammy Sosa after hitting a home run), which the mech itself would also do.

He refers to himself in the third person, initially failing to consistently do so.
