[OOC] Attack on Titan: Somnium [Closed]

[Carlyle]

"On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls."

Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan

Over a hundred years ago, the mindless humanoid abominations known as the Titans appeared. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, humanity was nearly pushed to the brink of extinction upon the arrival of the Titans, whom devoured humans without mercy to feed their apparent endless appetites.

In an attempt to safeguard the remaining survivors from such beasts, humanity constructed three walls: Wall Maria, Wall Rose and Wall Sina, which would gift humanity with a century of peace away from the Titans. Nonetheless, this would not stop the Colossal Titan, far larger than any other Titan seen before, as the being would breach the farthermost wall, sending humanity into havoc.

Yet, despite the catastrophe, humanity is not without its heroes. Among the survivors of the Shiganshina disaster, a small group of teenagers emerge from the wreckage to take the battle to the Titans. Battered and bruised, these young men and women will become fearless leaders of humanity, and perhaps uncover the hidden secrets of a world long gone.

This will be a reboot of Attack on Titan: Somnium from the ground up. Those in the previous rendition will be automatically grandfathered in should they chose to join, while the rest will be subjected to an application process. If you decide to join, please be aware that there may be some lulls regarding posting ability, and that you are okay with this.

The roleplay, like it was intended before, will be following a group of kids as they live through the Shiganshina event, whom later become full-fledged cadets, and then eventually Scouts. Other characters a part of either the Garrison or the Military Police eventually will be allowed for character creation, although the Survey Corps will be the sole focus of this roleplay.

Death will be a possibility in this roleplay, and you should not be afraid to ax your character given circumstances. The GMs may ask for your consent to kill off your character for story progression, and PvP deaths should be considered with consent as well (should they happen). Mature scenes can and will take place, however, intimate scenes should fade to black or be taken to PM.

Bastien

Bastien Thomas

Any man whose error takes ten years to correct is quite a man.

_Name

---

Bastien Thomas, formerly Dimitri Martin The Second

_Nickname

---

Bast

_Age

---

16

_Appearance

---

Bastien is around 5'11", clocking in at 146 pounds. His skin is covered in freckles, and he has a faint two inch long scar on his left wrist. He's rather wiry, with an average amount muscle on his arms and chest from weight lifting. His legs are long and allow him to run very far, very quickly.

_Biography

---

Bastien was born as Dimitri Martin, and was raised in a poor part of the Shiganshina district, beaten by an abusive father and with no mother to know. He had no siblings, and was sealed away for much of his life. It was because of this he suffered from depression. One day, after a beating, his father left a knife on the kitchen counter when he left for work. By this point Bastien had given up on escaping or making his life better for himself. He waited until his father came back, then killed him, stabbing him six times in the stomach and chest. There was a fight before he managed to gain the upper hand, and the commotion drew the neighbors to inquire what was going on. They saw Bastien trying to slit his wrists and almost succeeding. The husband tackled him, attempting to knock the knife out of Bastien's hands. Thanks to this, he only managed a shallow cut in his left wrist, still bleeding exponentially but not striking the arteries.

After they nursed him back to health they began to take care of him, never speaking of that day. They were still poor, but were far kinder to Bastien. He learned to open up to them, telling them of the atrocities his father committed. However, as each day went by, more and more attention was drawn to the murder of Bastien's father. The military police narrowed the suspect list down to less and less people. The heat on the missing Martin boy growing and growing until the police were actively seeking him out. Bastien's new family hid him away, never speaking of him to anyone. He lived in the basement, separated from the people hunting him down and safe, but he had come full circle, ending up back where he was when Bastien lived with his father, albeit without the abuse, but the lack of freedom still unpalatable as he hid from prosecution.

_Personality

---

Bastien is an untrusting individual. When offered the opportunity to work with someone or by himself, 10 times out of 10 he'll choose going solo. He stays silent most of the time, opting to listen and observe rather than actively participate in the conversation. However, he does occasionally engage in conversation with other soldiers and cadets, telling the nightmares he experienced when the colossal titan broke through. Despite Bastien's stoic silence, after a few smuggled drinks he opens up, sometimes more than you could have ever wanted him to. He'll share laughs, maybe even confide in you, but once he's sober again, it's back to the normal quiet. He ignores everything that happened, opting to never speak of it again. Bastien could care less about his teammates, concerning about whether or not they get the mission done. He suffers from PTSD thanks to the titans breaking in, and often wakes screaming in bed.

Adèle “Adè” Ziegler

“I’m not in the business of making friends, so can you like leave me alone or something?”

Adèle Ziegler, to a comrade concerned about her

_Name

---

Adèle Ziegler

_Nickname

---

Adè

_Age

---

16

_Appearance

---

Standing at 5’6”, Adè isn’t tall nor short among her friends and comrades, though there are certainly individuals that tower over her – though she’s made it clear that just because they are taller than her doesn’t mean she can’t kick their ass. Adè’s aggressive demeanor translates relatively well to her posture and presence, though at the end of the day she’s just another uppity soldier in a mass of hundreds. Her hair is a natural blonde and her eyes are green. Her physique is unsurprisingly athletic and well-toned, but she’s still a lithe girl with not much of a bust or build, though she is much brawnier than she looks.

_Biography

---

Adèle Ziegler’s father, Aldebert Ziegler was a member of Shiganshina’s Garrison members and one of the earliest casualties when a colossus titan attacked the city. It would be with his death that changed Adè’s life forever and cemented her destiny when she joined a slew of others as recruits of the military of Paradis.

Before the attack Adè experienced a seemingly normal and peaceful childhood. She often got into fights when she was younger after some of the other, taller kids attempted to bully her due to the fact that she had no mother. Her father often lectured her, as did fellow members of the city’s garrison forces, though she remained to be a girl who was prone to finding herself getting into trouble whether it was the intent to do so or not. Her father found himself frustrated with the lively and rabblerousing daughter he had brought into the world and did his very best to try to set her straight. Adè found her father’s words more stinging than any paddle could have and while Aldebert never needed to physical discipline his child he often threatened her with such recourse if she didn’t find a better avenue to channel her energies toward. By the time of her thirteenth birthday the results of trying to engage her with more positive elements in the city (such as children less prone to tomfoolery) were starting to show fruit. It would turn out to be a tragedy that such positive reinforcement would be temporary.

_Personality

---

Adèle Ziegler is a brash, pompous, loud-mouthed, and abrasive young woman and her comrades either love her or hate her for it. Adè’s obsession with being the “best” is the catalyst to a genetic time-bomb of angst, unhappiness, and ire. It’s no secret that Adè has a plethora of issues that makes her difficult to deal with, though she doesn’t much care people find her difficult or frustrating. She wears their discontent like a badge of honor and when she isn’t scowling in discontentment she is smirking smugly as she mocks the person who has gathered her attention. In short, Adè isn’t interested in “making” friends and currently sees her comrades as likeminded acquaintances at best and superficial meatshields at worst. This disconnect can be seen as cruel and stupid by some, but it has protected Adè from her fickle feelings and insecurities. In part this is a ruse to push people away so that she will never have another emotional connection with another human being; she figures if she can be undesirable she will never be hurt by someone close to her being killed by a titan. She realizes it’s a jaded viewpoint to have, but it is the only viewpoint that makes sense to her at this point in her life.

But is there someone beyond the jaded cynicism and petty retorts? Yes. While Adè pulls off her abrasive, self-oriented, and sardonic front well enough to fool the average person, a wiser and more perceptive individual will easily see that Adè is an emotional wreck that spends night curled up in a corner silently crying in the misery she has created for herself. When Adè was younger she was a hyperactive and never-ending ball of kindness who despite her feeling of invulnerability and confidence had none of the toxicity that she has forged as her “persona”. Really, she was a social animal who craved interaction; and at the end of the day, that little girl isn’t as dead as Adè would like her to be. A strong enough (or stubborn enough) person might be able to bring that side of her back from the depths of her soul. Possibly.

@Default

Right, I have some concerns with the CS. Bastien is abnormally tall for his age, so I ask that you make him somewhat shorter. Secondly, regarding the backstory, I doubt that him murdering his father would be forgotten just like that. I would expect the local military police would have something to say, likely investigating the incident.

[LordVoldemort]

Me likey. @Inkarnate@Default

I see Bastien Thomas is lookin' to get into a tall, scarred guy fight. There's only one tall scarred guy here.

[Sierra]

I don't think @Inkarnate is ready for the number of jokes & witty comments I have already come up with based on his character's name. I've got Overwatch references and Expanse references, which is a hilarious and enjoyable combination.

It looks fine to me, however, if you could change that dark red to a more readable color, it would be appreciated. I'm assuming you're using it for dialogue, correct?

Elif

"Hey, got a minute?"

_Name

---

Elif Edelweiss

_Age

---

15

_Appearance

---

Five feet and six inches of slight lankiness. A body developed from delivering medical equipment from point A to point B in top speeds but not much else.

_Biography

---

Elif's father was a respected and talented medic who had drowned himself in work to forget the grief of losing his wife during childbirth. He loved his daughter, but never had the time or energy to tend to her. Elif grew up as an only child with an insatiable curiosity towards the world. She would relentlessly question her father over whatever procedure he was in the middle of and would start conversations with anyone after eventually getting sent outside.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and that's exactly how Anna experienced her childhood. Piecemeal tidbits of information about the world outside a little infirmary were given to her by anyone who happened to be around. The conversations that stayed with her the most were the ones had with those with little time left to live. From a young age she had learned that life was short, unfair and very, very fragile. She wanted to soak up as much of everything before inevitably passing away like they did. Future events would force her to become aquainted with more of the world and would make her dream of those hazy, dreamlike days.

_Personality

---

Elif is an extrovert with a bold and chatty personality. She has a bratty side that can occasionally come out, usually when denied the answer to something. She is knowledgeable over tending to injuries and isn't disgusted by the sight of excessive blood and gore due to her upbringing. She hasn't put her skills to the test outside of being an assistant, and the idea of another person putting their entire life in her hands is too much for her to handle. She is an earnest open book who is oblivious to the feelings of people who aren't the same way.

The reasoning behind her overly friendly personality is mostly normal, save for her feelings of frustration stemming from a lack of longlasting personal relationships. She's gotten used to people coming and going from her life, but still yearns for someone to stay.

Personality
If there were two ways that Grant could sum himself up with, he'd most likely choose his natural talent to deliver humour or his not-so-natural ability to ride horses. Whether or not either of them are fully true is up for debate, but that doesn't stop him from being the light of the party when needed. Being someone who needs material for such banterous remarks as his own, Grant found himself constantly feeling the need to keep an update on everything that is going on, something that may flaw his future. It keeps him occupied if he wanders throughout crowds to fantasise over the latest news. However, if there is one rule he knows to abide by, he can tell if any humorous remarks are necessary, and can remain serious to situations not considered a laughing matter.

From his early introduction to horses, Grant can be considered a quick-thinker; his ability to keep his wits about whilst in motion had been noted by his uncle, though he stated there was much progress to be taken at the time of the note's creation. With small groups of friends, Grant can be seen as a comforting boy, due to the nurturing of animals from his home, often ensuring they all receive any relief of tension whenever it is needed. Some of the kids said it's his most likeable trait, but Grant can be quick to deny it.

---

Background
Not too far from the edges of Wall Maria, a small town claimed itself as Grant's birthplace and early home, where most of the few settlers worked around farming and trading around the entire circumference of Wall Maria. Originally hailing from the West, reasons that were unexplained to Grant resulted in him having to leave on a 'Business Trip' with his Uncle, Mateo Julius. His father remained back at the town, stating that someone needed to ensure that all of the trading caravans were kept in order and the stallions were kept in line during their long tour. It confused him as to why no one else came, but that never struck his mind. The next year of his life would be an amazing and exciting experience.

The pair followed a clockwise pattern, starting on the Western District, to the Northern, Eastern and concluding on the Southern District. Between each district was a difficult journey, but it picked up the chance for Grant to further progress his skills in horse-riding. One of the lead stallions, a black thoroughbred named Rhys, soon became Grant's prize possession, enjoying any galloping trips along the way. Whereas it became apparent that he wasn't to do much in any of the trades, any free time he had was either spent socialising with the current district's inhabitants, hearing amazing tales from other citizens or generally galloping around the streets whenever he could. During his stay in the Northern District, one caravan trader's son, Luca Isina, took the liberty to giving him the nickname 'Swifty', due to the speed Rhys could provide for Grant. Luca, more specifically, was a close friend of Grant during his stay. They were so close that Luca eventually snuck away from his own caravan and into Grant's, soon hitchhiking on their journey around the walls. The two picked up an interest in learning about the Military Branches, where they grew and excitement and lust for information seeking telling more tales of bravery to the children.

The two remained friends all the way to the Shiganshina District, where they planned on storming around the streets on horseback whilst Mateo delivered his final trading deal. Why waste the opportunity? The two were only going to be staying in the area for a short time. Well, they'd have to get permission from the Stationary Guardsmen within the area, but with their interest in their branches and military backgrounds, they'd get along fine enough for them to look the other way. Grant knew that this was going to be the greatest conclusion to their trip, and when he would return, he could pursue a life within the walls with a promising career. At least, that was the plan...

Personality
Despite being one of the more recognised and respected soldier's amongst the Scouting Legion, Mateo isn't as strict off-duty as some might expect. His upbringing and experience with travelling has left him to be quite a sociable individual, which strengthens the bonds he has with those who he commands. Whereas the advantages of building these relationships improves the performance of fighting and working as one squad, it can also bring personal sorrow when it comes to the death of any of his own comrades. Mateo has been used to the sight of death since the start of his service, but the personal losses take their tolls in privacy. Seeing a commanding officer breaking down is noted as one of the more horrific sights in any combat situation, so controlling his emotions is a skill he's been forced to take.

Mateo can be focused, almost completely, when being put upon tasks. Having partaken in some of the more exclusive and classified operations the Survey Corps have slipped under the noses of the public, the elite has found himself to understand all the possible dangers that lurk outside the walls and all the anomalies that they might encounter. Towards the younger and newer soldiers, he can seem quite protective, but also disciplinary towards their progress. Every soldier counts, so he sets his mind to seeing them all through each mission. Time and time again, the spirit of his work ethic has bagged him a great reputation, right up until his temporary discharge, throughout the multiple branches. However, since his temporary discharge, his copings as a leader have somewhat diminished, making him almost dependent on the team rather than his own decision making.

---

Background
Mateo was born many years after his older brother was, his mother being quite old and weak to look after him. Because of this, both Mateo and his brother Johan forged a strong brotherly bond that was almost impossible to break. The two were fantastic as a duo, always helping one another around the farm as both Johan and himself learnt to take care of their elders with success and dignity. As they grew up, however, the first signs of separation and conflict were afoot when Mateo decided what he wanted as a career. Every month, an expedition of saddled soldiers would ride past their home, sometimes stopping to see how they were and tell tales of their stories. The young boy was almost instantly intrigued and captured in the wonders of the walls and their commitment to protecting it. It filled him with courage and the lust for service, which easily conflicted Johan's opinions. Through the fear of losing his younger brother, Johan almost halted the dreams of Mateo in order to protect him from any harm; however, that didn't stop the boy from making his way come true. Mateo ran away, like any boy would do, shortly after his Mother's death, where he fled to the walls in seek for a purpose in life. No longer did he want to wait for the harvest to flourish, that was his brother's bidding to commit to.

The years passed, and through his training years, he excelled in the arts of ODM maneuverability and balance. This became his reason for success, and acted as a catalyst for his uprising. Ranking an impressive status of #4 in his training programme, he quickly denied the opportunity to serve in the Military Police in order to pursue his original and initial purpose for enlisting in the first place. Soon enough, he flew into the ranks of the Scouting Legion, eager to get the experience required to excel through life.

Mateo served an impressive deal of expeditions and side-jobs during his service, building a name for himself in defending the flanks of the expeditionary formation. After a misconception with the commander at the time, his superior could never pronounce the surname of Julius properly when reading it out on paper, causing him to shorten it to 'Jutt'. The reasons for this decision were strictly unknown, but it instantly stuck as a nickname, almost always replacing his initial surname. Eventually, as time passed onwards, Mateo was called up by his CO to partake in several small-scale reconnaissance operations involving scouting regions that weren't encountered on major expeditions. Eventually forging his way into a specialised Squad, he took part in some more dangerous operations, involving watching Titan groupings and
Herds moving along the hills of the horizon. The squad were good, great even, with their reputation of doing the bidding of whatever officer wished. However, the glory was short-lived, and after a horrific decision making from Mateo and two of his fellow comrades, most of the Squad weren't to return, resulting in a temporary discharge. Shameful and weakening as it was, he took the two years off to return to his hometown, seeking shelter and a place to stay.

His brother was more than happy to see him alive, but was still against his decision, having only seen him for the first time in years. The nephew that Mateo had left behind was now more mature, grown up and active as a child. Mateo took the time to get back into the gears of looking after the nephew, helping him grow up the way that Johan had shown him. Forging a strong relationship with him, he mused as to why his older brother had chosen his spouse's surname after their marriage. It was later revealed that the change was due to the shame that Mateo had brought unto the family, causing many family disputes over the months he spent living there. During his final year, Mateo was tasked with making money in a large-scale trading run across the entire wall's perimeter. Originally disagreeing to it, a violent clash between Mateo and his brother forced him to take Grant and leave for the trading route in fear that the violence may also be inflicted across to Grant. The two continued their journey in almost solitary, not hearing a single word from the family back at home.

It was during their last district on the tour where Mateo witnessed the Colossal Titan breach the walls, catching him off guard quicker than anything had ever done before. Even with the experience he had, the sight was quite terrifying, but the panic had almost neglected any signs of finding Grant. With panic, he searched the streets in sheer worry of losing his only loving member of his family. Before long, he was ushered out of the way, towards the gates, where he hoped to link up with his nephew as soon as he could. Luckily, the two managed to briefly meet at Wall Rose's safety, where they lived together for a short amount of time. Out of thin air, Mateo was once again called up for service earlier than expected, being dragged back into the uniform he was punished from wearing once before.

The years during Grant's training were mostly kept quiet for Mateo. He was once again enlisted to the expeditions, and became a supporting leader for several squads at a time. His time of service and valour eventually granted him the honours of becoming a Lance Corporal, where he would gain command of small groups himself, usually those who were fresh out of training. This was where he excelled further, and would continue onwards to produce some great soldiers again and again, until the time he would once again reunite with the family member he was split from in Trost.

Oh no, not at all. I mean, it might be bad for you, but as far as a character goes, it's perfectly fine. I like it.
