Storyline

After an advanced race, the Golden Tribe, left the universe, the human race became threatened with extinction. The Silver Tribe has long since been the most dominant race in the universe. The young Queen, Dianeira, of the Iron Tribe, searches for the one that have been mentioned in her family's history; the one that holds the power to save her people. This person she looks for is the only human who has been raised by the Golden Tribe, before their departure from the universe. After her ship and crew reaches the ruined planet, Oron, which holds the one she's looking for, they're attacked by the Bronze Tribe. Right before the attack, they come in contact with a young boy named "Age", who may hold the secrets to their salvation.

History

There was once a people who called themselves the "Golden Tribe". They possessed many powers, including creating planets and seeing into the future. They then called on primitive beings, telling them to explore the universe. Three races were able to reply to their call; the Golden Tribe referred to these races as the "Silver Tribe", the "Bronze Tribe", and the "Hero Tribe". Long after, when the Golden Tribe were about to move on to another universe, a new race replied to their call. This new race, humankind, was referred to as the "Iron Tribe".

Age

Age (エイジ, Eiji), Seiyū - Hiroshi Yazaki

Age has the body of a teenage boy, but is actually 120 years old. Age lived on the ruined planet, Oron, prior to the Bronze Tribe's attack. He is wild by nature, but is also extremely good-natured. Having grown up on a deserted planet, he can easily fend for himself, often hunting, whilst playing, with his prey, though he does apologize to them after. He's shown to have extraordinary strength and speed. He lives in an old, abandoned ship, whose mainframe A.I. is referred to as 'Mom' by Age. Though the ship's A.I. doesn't understand most of what he says, Age truly believes it to be his mom and genuinely cares for it. When the Bronze Tribe attacked Oron, subsequently destroying Age's ship, he became enraged, summoned the last Nodos, a machine used by the Hero Tribe, and destroyed the Bronze's entire fleet.

He is supposedly the one that has been raised by the Golden Tribe, but he may also have a connection with the Hero Tribe.
