In the year 845 two terrifying new breeds of Titan appeared, the Colossus and the Armored. Barreling through the outer walls as if wholesale destruction was child's play, the territory couched within the circle of Wall Maria was abandoned. Twenty percent of the human race perished. As the Titan onslaught advanced, our only choice was to withdraw behind Wall Rose...

This roleplay takes place in the year preceding and at roughly the same time as the Battle of Trost. We'll be following the story of another Squad of Cadets and their exploits from training, through the Battle of Chlorba and beyond. Your character doesn't have to begin as a Cadet, if you'd rather play an already trained and experienced character that's okay but be forewarned, MOST of the players will start as Cadets and a lot of the fun will be had there. You may control more than one character and if someone wants to, you can volunteer to control all the Titans (not as individual characters, but more as an NPC controller of sorts)
Some rules,

No blatantly diverging from canon
No spoilers (remember, some of us are newbs and are still on season 1 ;) )
No Titan shifters
Try to avoid overly dramatic or too modern dialogue, it should sound like a line from the show (roughly)
Be fairly realistic with things (your brand new recruit can't be an Olympic athlete that effortlessly outwits and escapes the Titans regularly)
It is absolutely forbidden for you NOT to share your ideas with the GM/Co-GMs, we want to hear them, this is a team effort!
No sexual content, controlling other characters, yadda yadda yadda

Name: Gideon Wallace
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Allegiance: Cadets
Preferred Weapon: Paring Blades or musket/rifle
Regiment You're Joining: Scout Regiment
Biography: Gideon grew up the son of a nurse and a Scout Regiment soldier in a small hunting village amid Wall Maria's vast forests. A crack shot, he was a respected hunter by his teens as well as the man of the house, as his father was killed during one of many expeditions with the Scouts. Gideon's kinder personality coupled with his mother's tutelage led him to want to pursue a career in medicine, though this was a difficult path to start on without help. Because of this, he decided to enlist when he was of age, planning on joining the Garrison Regiment (or hopefully the MP) as a Medic. The breach of Wall Maria changed his plans however. Though he and his mother (as well as most of their village) managed to escape the slaughter, most of their number died in the famine that proceeded. His mother was among them. In the following ill-fated "reclamation" operation directed at Wall Maria, Gideon narrowly managed to avoid conscription due to his younger age. This likely saved his life, though his innocence was not spared. The trauma and loss he experienced hardened him, and he resolved to join the Scout Regiment instead of any of the safer, more defensive units. He would avenge his family and neighbors' deaths and one day, he would return to his village, unfettered by the lumbering monsters that roamed there. Though his compassionate personality remained, he had decided to become a killer first and a healer second. Now, he's a Cadet finishing up his last year of training and the fight he so desperately wants is close at hand...

His mother raised him alone but Shuya believed his father was still alive outside the walls and aspired to eventually join then. As time went by his mother found out about his plans and forbid him from ever joining the survey corps.

Name: Dania “Danny” Merlo, (Guerra)

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Allegiance: Cadet

Regiment You're Joining: Scouting Regiment

Biography: Raised in the slums of Shinganshina during her first years of life, Dania was the only daughter born to Miguel Guerra, a Veteran Soldier in the Scouting Regiment. Her parents were young and in love along the time her mother became pregnant, and despite the dangers of having a relationship with a Scout her mother, Josefina Prieto, married her father at the young age of eighteen. But as predicted tragedy soon followed once the regiment returned from their expedition, and only three months into her pregnancy, Josefina had lost her husband.

Raising a newborn as a single mother had been a struggle. Living in the poorest district, food was scarce, and two months after Dania’s birth, her mother began to struggle to keep a roof over there head. Those were desperate times, but it was then that her mother met her current husband, Antonio Merlo. He arrived on their doorstep, like a knight in shining armor claiming to be the best friend of Miguel, and one of his squad mates. Promising the dying man that he would take care of his family after he passed, Antonio had finally come to whisk them away from the hell hole of the slums. So from the Shinganshina district, Dania and her mother left the outer ring, and moved to the Karanese district within Wall Rose. Their lives changed drastically for the better, and before long a relationship bloomed between her mother and Antonio, and a year later Rayen had been born.

When her sister had been born, the two had been inseparable, and at the age of six, her mother had given her a piece of advice that would shape Dania’s perspective on life forever. Family comes first. It was a simple saying, but the girl considered it an unspoken rule amongst her family. Interpreting the words in her own way, Dania took it upon herself to become her little sisters protector. She fought off anyone who bullied, or picked on Rayen, and became her biggest supporter. Growing older and coming to realize the reality of the world they lived in, Dania began to show interest in the Military. It ran through her veins, surrounded her life, and with the fall of Wall Maria, she accepted it as a calling and a sign that her place was among the Scouts fighting for Humanity. Her parents had been against the idea in the beginning, but with enough convicting and some compromising from both sides, Dania was able to enlist when Rayen had become of age as well.

Name: Rayen “Ray” Merlo

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Allegiance: Cadet

Regiment You're Joining: Scouting Regiment/Military Police

Biography: Rayens birth had been called a miracle. Conceived a month too early and born premature, it was predicted that she wouldn’t make it through the night. She was small, and weak, and couldn’t even open her eyes, but despite the doctors predictions, Rayen pulled through and eventually grew stronger. She had been delicate in her childhood physically, and mentally. Bruising easily, accident prone, over-sensitive, and an all around crybaby, the small girl had become a target to many of the older, more harassing children in their neighborhood. However her big sister wasn’t going to allow any of that. Getting into countless fights, and always standing up for her, Dania had become Rayens own personal hero, and biggest influence.

The fall of Wall Maria signified a big change in her families life. Her father had been one of the many Scouts called to support the Vanguard during the fall of Wall Maria, and while he had survived that infamous day he had not left unscathed. Losing both an arm, and a leg her father had been discharged from duty and was left scarred. Their home became a place of tension and grief, but when Dania had brought up the idea of joining the military, Rayen wasn’t sure if she had found her way out of their depressive pit of a home, or a death wish. Once her birthday came however, she had been quick to enlist alongside her sister. Young and naive, she jumped the military bandwagon with all the wrong intentions.

Pushed to her physical, and mental limit, it seemed like Rayen was at her wits ends but before she could break her older sister came to the rescue like she always did. Building up Rayens confidence enough to get her to stay, Dania made a promise to stick by her sisters and help her with training, but only if she put the effort into trying to earn a spot amongst the top trainees so she could join the Military Police. Not wanting to return home, but unsure of the idea of joining the Military Police, Rayen was forced into the promise and continued along with training.

Name: Amelia Voclain

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Allegiance: Cadet

Regiment You're Joining: Military Police

Biography: Amelia Voclain is a very skewed individual. Manipulative, arrogant, narcissistic, and an all around compulsive liar, it’s hard for anyone to get along with her. Taking pleasure in messing with people’s heads, she has a natural talent at pissing other people off and finding out just what makes them tick. Her history is a mystery to the other cadets, or rather an annoyance. It’s been said that whenever anyone asks Amelia of her past she tells a different story to everyone, but truthfully, her past is unlike any of the others. It wasn’t tragic, harsh, or dangerous, but the complete opposite.

Born in the Capital among the wealthiest in Sina, Amelia is the only daughter to the Head Priest of the Holy Walls in Mitras. Never having to worry about money, or worries in general considering the comfort she lived in, Amelia didn’t understand the difficulty the outer walls faced and became cold and uncaring to the lower class. Her relationship with her parents are deeply rooted, and while she speaks in good terms of her father, she hardly discusses him or his work personally with anyone beside her own family. While she has expressed interest in her fathers practice, its clear her true goals are to join the Military Police and take advantage of the privileges that come with the title.

Awesome guys, take your time. And just so everyone knows, we're going to start off in our last year of training so we can get to the real action quicker.

So our characters will basically already know each other?

I think it'd be cool if for the final year of training they pool the most promising recruits into one brigade, that way we know each of the characters is skilled and they don't have to know each other, it also means that some can know each other if two players want that.

I've got two characters coming up shortly.

Name: Lethe Lehrer

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Allegiance: Cadet

Lethe was left in a dark alley of the underground, lost and alone. And little did his mother know, her next client would be her death.

Life in the underground wasn't easy for a child, let alone a grown man.

Meals weren't expected, And Lethe often went hungry. It was when Lethe overstepped his boundaries in the criminal underground did this life finally end. Caught stealing a hard loaf of bread, he was beaten nearly to death and left for dead. Lethe didn't have the will to get up any longer, he was defeated.

I'd like to reserve my spot :3
Name: Naomi Falkner
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Allegiance: Cadet
Preferred Weapon: ODM gear's paring blades
Regiment You're Joining: Survey
Biography:
This was going to be in more detail, but upon losing it all I ran low on time and the energy to write it out in such a way. So from four longer paragraphs down to 2 and IC I hope to flush it out if she tells people or feel the need to connect it.

Naomi was a street rat in the city that came down with the destruction of Wall Maria. Having been put there at the death of her mother due to illness she learned how to survive and perceive. She was rambunctious and free spirited before watching the horror of the attack. If it wasn’t for a member of the garrison she would have died whilst standing in shock at the sight of a boy being chase and then eaten by a titan. Survivor’s guilt had taken over as well as the thought it was only a matter of time. Afterwards having to face the rationing and anger in the overpopulated streets of the next wall before people were sent off on a suicide mission to let the rest labor and survive off the farms they could maintain.

It was after a man tried stealing food, while at the same time killing her only friend, did she recollect the pieces of her life. She had been quiet and broken since the attack, but now she knew humanity couldn’t survive with one another if trapped in the box they call the walls. Determined to join the Survey Corps she signed up for the military and training to become stronger herself. Naomi regain much of her old personality over the time as a tease. At the same time she can be sarcastic, but is kind to those able to stand her and has unbreakable loyalty towards them, even if the commanders don’t see her going out of her way to help them at times as loyalty.

This is my CS spot :p

oh hey a Levi is a few posts above me



Name:
Aleron Sinclair

Age:
Seventeen years old.

Gender:
Male.

Allegiance:
Titans Cadets

Branch of Decision:
Survey Corps

Background:
As a resident of the inner sanctuary within the capital city of Mitras, located in the confines of Wall Sina, Aleron Sinclair was an ordinary only son with access to luxury due to his father's status as a member of the Military Police. While his father was off on duty for most of the time, his mother ran an apparel store that brought in a significant amount of income from the regal presence in the capital city, and allowed them to live without much burden. Seeing his father wear the uniform and badge of the Military Police proudly during patrols inspired Aleron to become like his father, despite the known yet ignored corruption that the Military Police was rumored to have been stained with by the higher-raking officers.

When Aleron was twelve years old, word had spread to the inner kingdom that the outermost barrier, Wall Maria, had been breached, and titans had seized all of the land between the breach and Wall Rose. The young boy, though frightened and slightly reluctant of his decision to put himself in danger, decided that he would enlist in the military, though refuse the offer of becoming a member of the Military Police like his father; he was determined to lend his hand in driving the titans back from their once-peaceful territory, and avenge all of the fallen. One year later, when Aleron was thirteen and reached the eligible age to enlist, he did so.

Name:
Elaina Penny

Age:
Twenty years old.

Gender:
Female.

Allegiance:
Survey Corps

Background:
There are many missing pieces in the puzzle of Elaina Penny's life; if that information is requested, more than likely will the inquiry return empty-handed. There are no viable sources that can trace her history beyond the age of fourteen, which was when she first enlisted in the military. She had a quick temper and did not hesitate to pick fights with others, though throughout the three mandatory years of training, it disciplined the young woman enough to allow her to graduate within the top five of the trainee class as the fourth.

Elaina was the only soldier of the top ten to not pick the Military Police as her branch of service. She, instead, chose the Survey Corps; on her first expedition beyond the walls, she made it evident that the reasoning behind her decision, labeled as suicidal by her former comrades, was to kill titans. Surviving expedition after expedition, she grew to become one of the Survey Corps' key members as her battle skills sharpened, and over the next three years, her experience with the legion has allowed her to develop and mature her sense of camaraderie.

Haha if you're talking about my character because of the underground part, don't worry. Lethe is almost a polar opposite to Levi when it comes to personality and the such.

I was just kidding. He's cool. :D

I lost everything I was posting... son of a.

That's why I type my stuff out on here, copy / paste on word document every two sentences, and then save three more copies of the copy.
>_>

I was basicly hitting save and it was lost... I thought that maby I wouldn't write it somewhere else T_T
