Attack on Titan: Somnium

Emil Burton

Headquarters, Trost District

@LetMeDoStuff@Poi

-----

Emil found himself stifling back laughter at the ridiculously idealistic sense of duty coming from Tanners words, 'Sacrifices aren't always necessary, can't do your job and keep others safe if you're dead' he thought to himself as he simply nodded at Tanner blankly. He checked his blades once more, and gave a tap to his almost expended gas canisters just to be sure there was at least something left in them before he slowly followed Tanner to the lift at the center of the room.

As he'd stepped on the lift he couldn't help but wonder just what was waiting below. The reports had said that the Titans were in the storeroom, but who was to say that they hadn't wandered off by now? 'Wishful thinking...' he realized as he squeezed the grips on his blades tighter. Around him the other cadets that had volunteered, out of a skewed sense of duty, an over inflated sense of honor that comes with dying, or simply because it had to be done by someone seemed to be preparing themselves in their own little ways. Some cried. Others embraced. A few seemed to be saying a quiet prayer or two. It didn't matter to Emil. He was pretty sure at this point that nothing mattered, that life just didn't make any sense. That it never would.

The lift began to move and Grant once again grabbed the cadets attention as they went down, explaining the plan one final time before they'd be within reach of the Titans below. Emil felt a sense that he already knew what was expected of him, and it only made sense considering what the others knew of his skill with the maneuver gear. He sighed, wiping away the small beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead as Grant was speaking before turning his attention to the wall as it disappeared above them, opening them up to the expanse that was the supply room below.

The lift came to a sudden halt just short of the ground and the cadets were off to fulfill their tasks. Emil hooked into the ceiling above and reeled himself quickly up to one of the beams at the ceiling. Landing on the beam on his feet he quickly went about getting a grasp of his surroundings. The supply room wasn't very well lit, it was likely that some of the torches had been put out in the chaos when the Titans broke in, and to top it off the beams in the room made it a whole lot harder to see and maneuver using the gear then he would have preferred, far tighter than the Forests of giant trees they had trained in.

He heard Tanner yelling somewhere off in front of him, followed by the crash of a Titan being done in which made him feel slightly better about the whole situation. Until he heard Tanner acting as a decoy. 'Hey hey we both know that's not where you're needed.'he thought to himself as he lodged a hook in a pillar to his front and stepped off the beam, sending himself reeling in toward the pillar. As he flew forward he noticed the Titan that Tanner was leading away from the main group of cadets that were hastily filling canisters at the supply point, it reached out for Tanner but but came up empty, a smile appearing across Emil's face as he pivoted in the air to put his feet in between him and the beam.

He landed sideways against the beam just a meter off the ground. Quickly gaining his bearings he shot his remaining hook past a steel beam to his left and used what gas he had to accelerate toward the beam on a course that would have him pass it on the opposite side of his wire, hopefully pulling him to the right around the beam and interesting across the nape of the Titan as it followed Tanner. Hopefully.

As he flew forward he readied to release his hook as not to kill himself by wrapping around the steel beam and grunted as the sudden change in direction seemed to yank him from his course at full force. He released his hook and use a burst of gas to ensure he was on course, just a moment later his blades would slide into the nape of the Titan following Tanner, slicing cleanly through with ease as Emil flew past it. The Titan dealt with Emil would land on the ground running to keep from face planting before turning to Tanner, "We have to make sure that the others are okay, that was not your job to lure them out!" he yelled before sprinting off in the direction of the others, deciding to save his gas for when it was really needed.

Kobayashi Taiki

Taiki simply pretended to listen to Sora, shaking his head knowingly as the younger Investigator accused him of purposefully trying to do no work at all. "Sora..." he said as he attempted to enjoy his bowl of ramen, "Soraaaaa" he said again a bit louder this time as he pressed a hand against the side of his head. "Please just, let me eat in pea--". He stopped talking as Sora pulled out a thick stack of unsolved case files from the area. He sighed, lowering his hand tot he table and tapping a few times before looking up at Sora, "That's really rich you know." he said, obviously a bit irritated, "If you're so insistent on working while we eat, then I expect you to have a brief ready for me by the time we leave." he said nonchalantly before smiling and continuing to eat as if Sora had not brought anything at all.

Tanizaki Kosuke

Appearance:


Name: Tanizaki Kosuke / Age: 25

Height: 175cm (5'9") / Weight: 71.6kg (158lbs) / Gender: Male

Nationality: Japanese

Branch of Service: Imperial Japanese Mainland Defence Force

Rank: 1stLt

Experience: Elite

TSF: Type-94 Shiranui

TSF Loadout:
Type 87 Assault Cannon (4x36mm and 2x120mm Magazines)
Type 92 Multipurpose Supplemental Armor
2x Type 74 PB Blade
2x Type 65 PB Blade

TSF Role: Storm Vangaurd

Personality: Fiercely loyal to his country and willing to give everything in the name of defeating the BETA and saving Humanity, Kosuke is an exemplary Eishi that the Shogun himself would be honored to have as part of the Royal Guard. With an attitude that most would state is dangerous and even at times callous of others safety, he performs to such a level in combat that many who serve with him can tend to overlook his shortcomings in his personality and learn to trust him to watch their backs. When not in combat he is dutiful, often found completing paperwork, checks on his and others TSFs, or helping with other work to be done around the Battalion. He's known to speak frankly to newcomers, if one were to listen it tends to seem that Kosuke degrades new pilots and lessens them to nothing more than liabilities for the rest of the Squadron but given a keen enough ear and enough time some have come to notice that while he does degrade them, much of what he says holds value in combat and is good to keep at the back of your mind.

History:
Born to a single mother in the Miyagi prefecture Kosuke was brought up by his Grandmother while his mother worked round the clock to keep food on the table for the three of them. While his upbringing wasn't the "normal" that was expected in Japan at the time it certainly wasn't unusual, for many families had lost the males of the household to the war with the BETA just as Kosuke's family had.

With strict standards placed on him by his Grandmother Kosuke was instilled with a strong sense of responsibility when given a task, to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to take any necessary steps to accomplish the task at hand. A trait that would end up less than favorable among his peers in the military.

At the age of he fifteen he was drafted into the Imperial Army and began his formal training to become a TSF pilot. Just a year into his training at the age of sixteen the BETA invasion of Japan began in Kitakyushu. Kosuke found himself deployed to the defense line being set up in Kyoto. It was there that he would get his first taste of combat, fighting in close quarters relentlessly, with few breaks and little time to think, Kosuke found himself acting off instinct in combat, when given a command he would go to any lengths in an attempt to ensure it was completed, which led to complications.

On August 10th of 1998, the day that Kyoto fell, Kosuke was deployed with a forward squad tasked with holding the BETA advance at a key railway junction that was being used to evacuate important people and equipment. The orders were specified as being of the utmost importance and Kosuke's Squad leader informed them that they had to defend the point at all costs. It wasn't long until the BETA surged forth on the junction.

Terrified and inexperienced Kosuke let his emotions get the best of him becoming almost useless in the opening minutes of the fighting. Only snapped back to reality as his Squadron leader used his TSF to shield Kosuke from a Tank-Classes charge, Kosuke would finally begin to fight. His sole purpose was the mission they had been given, and his Squad leaders words stuck with him, "At any cost.". Kosuke and one other would be the only survivors of the Squad sent to the railway junction, and would retreat shortly after a large portion of the internal defense of Kyoto fell.

It was only a week after the fighting had ended that the second pilot who had been unconscious since the battle awoke. The stories he told of the fight were brutal, but nothing compared to what he said about Kosuke. The inexperienced pilot had entirely disregarded his fellow pilots, a move that many pilots would consider to be completely unlike a Japanese Eishi, allowing many of them to be overwhelmed by BETA as he focused entirely on keeping the BETA from the railway. He even disregarded the calls for help from a pilot trapped in his broken TSF as the hatch was slowly pulled away by a Tank-Class BETA, all the while Kosuke was simply reloading and waiting for more BETA to make a move for the railway.

The Tank-Class would eventually be done in by Kosuke, but only after it had had an enjoyable meal and set its sights on Kosuke himself. With this recollection of events, Kosuke found himself up against military Court Marshall, and was not charged with the loss of his entire squad due to a severe lack in experienced pilots. Instead he was capped at 1stLt and was simply put back on the front lines where the BETA would have a better chance of giving him what he deserved.

Following the fall of Kyoto, Kosuke would be stricken with night terrors, many of which would involve his Squadron that he had willing allowed to die around him. He would reign himself in from then on, promising himself that he would never let his emotions cloud is judgement in combat again, and that he would do everything in his power to complete the mission and bring his fellow Eishi home safely at the end of the day. Even if it meant giving his own life to reach those goals.

The words of his deceased Squad Leader have been etched into his mind, and serve as his mantra. To remind himself that he must make the impossible possible, that he must never be afraid to give his beating heart for his Country or his comrades. That he must complete the mission, at any cost.

Extra:
None for now.

Kseniya Kocehnkov

Appearance:


Name: Kseniya Kochenkov / Age: 27
Height: 177cm (5'10") / Weight: 65.7kg (45lbs) / Gender: Female

Nationality: Soviet

Branch of Service: Vsadnik Squadron, Alternative III -> Absorbed into Soviet Army following the end of Alternative III

Rank: Major

Experience: Elite

TSF: Su-37M2

TSF Loadout:
2x 36mm/120mm Assault Cannon
Full Leg/Arm Chainblade Armament
2x Soviet Combat Knife

TSF Role: Strike Vanguard

Personality: Distant and withdrawn. Kseniya bears all the telltale signs of a pilot that has lost everything, more than once. She often jumps between two very distinct personalities, a side effect of her creation and the subsequent drugs and treatments she is forced to take and endure and her experience in Operation Swaraj, that range anywhere from vaguely helpful and slightly friendly to completely insane and sadistic, prepared to kill anyone and everyone that may even breath in her vicinity. Still carrying the mental scars of Operation Swaraj around with her, she is frequently overcome by episodes brought on by triggers of the event and focuses the pain and hatred that boils up with them into her fight against the BETA. Kseniya as well has a deep seated fear of water thanks to her creation and the treatments she undergoes regularly.

History:
Kseniya Kochenkov, or Kseniya Barchenowa as is her true name, is a Fifth Generation ESPer of the Soviet Union. Manufactured through a process of cloning and brought up undergoing treatments and procedures so that she would exhibit Extra Sensory Perception abilities in order to be used as a tool by the Soviet Union to pursue their Alternative III plan and make contact with the BETA.

Much of her young life revolved around tests, treatments, and labs. Then she would repeat the process, but perhaps in a different order this time, and the time after that, and the next one as well. When not being subjected to experiments and tests or training, the Barchenowa ESPers were being raised by the KGB to compete against one another and build bounds between their individual flights and squadrons in an attempt to increase their combat effectiveness. In the end it could be said that her fellow sisters in the program became her family. It was this very same family that would venture into the Bhopol Hive during Operation Swaraj along with Kseniya in order to attempt to make direct communication with the BETA.

Approximately two hours into the intrusion into the Bhopol Hive, the F14AN3 Mindseekers of the Vsadnik Squadron were being overwhelmed and whittled down. TSF after TSF was lost as only small amounts of ground were gained as they progressed further into the Bhopol Hive. Even with these sacrifices, not a single one of the ESPers had been able to establish communication with any BETA, even with the advanced equipment that had been added to the F14AN3 that they were using to amplify their abilities. Kseniya's non-ESPer pilot, Captain Eranov was beginning to grow afraid as one by one TSFs fell to the BETA inside the Hive, and Kseniya could sense it.

As the group of F14AN3s made their way into an new hall, they were set upon by a large swarm of Tank-Class, and quickly found themselves in a desperate close-quarters skirmish for their lives. In the process of the fight the highly-sensitive equipment mounted on Kseniya's F14AN3 was damaged, causing it to amplify the signals it was picking up and overwhelm Kseniya as she was hooked into the system itself. She fell into a panic as she could feel TSF piltos outside the Hive dying, as she could feel her Sisters within the Hive being eaten alive, as she could feel infantry and tank crews as they were crushed beneath waves of BETA. Her power of projection now firmly out of her control would wildly force her feelings of impending doom and the futility of their mission upon many of the TSF pilots and ESPers present. Although many of the ESPers were able to overcome the sudden flood of emotions from their sister, a few of the pilots were overcome with fear at the wave of emotions that weren't theirs and and began to make a hasty retreat.

Of this group was Kseniya's own pilot. As Kseniya continued to be overwhelmed in the front seat of her TSF, Captain Eranov made for the nearest Stab and escaped the Bhopol Hive along with two other F14AN3s. It was only later that day once they had reached a resupply post that they would finally be able to remove Kseniya from the cockpit and detach her from the equipment that was causing the intense feedback. By the end of the Operation only a handful of Barchenowa Generation ESPers sent would survive, among them were the three that had escaped due to Kseniya's loss of control and their pilots panic and a few scattered groups from other expeditions into the Hive.

Operation Swaraj would produce only a single result for its massive loss of life and equipment, and that result was that the BETA did not consider humanity as a life form at all.

Reassigned to the Soviet Army following the abandonment of Alternative II after the failure of Operation Swaraj,
Kseniya would remain an unstable ESPer for the rest of her time serving with the Soviet Army. Following multiple high risk missions, and being purposefully left out of Operation Ouka by request of the KGB, Kseniya would be promoted to Major and assigned to the UNs 231st Battalion "The Grey Wolves" as the Executive Officer. Her handlers within the KGB would be monitoring her and a number of other ESPers within the massive UN force intently, as the information they could gain from such a massive undertaking and their varied positions would no doubt prove valuable in a post-BETA world.

Extra:
None so far.

Izaak Fabel

Appearance:


Name: Izaak Fabel / Age: 44

Height: 182.88 (6') / Weight: 80kg (178lbs) / Gender: Male

Nationality: West German

Branch of Service: UN 1st Force, 231st Tactical Armored Battalion

Rank: Colonel

Experience: Competent and Experienced Battlefield Commander, no longer a TSF Pilot

Personality: Easy-going and even slightly bashful. Colonel Fabel is known by many of his subordinates as a capable commander, one that can see the wider picture of a battle and direct his forces as required to ensure victory in the name of Humanity. Outside of battle Colonel Fabel is known to be a calculating and reserved higher echelon leader, careful not to step into the schemes of his fellow officers or other nations agents to further their careers or political agendas. Highly intuitive, and always suspicious of those not directly in his chain of command, Fabel has earned himself a reputation as the "Infallible Colonel" by those both withing the UN and on the outside if the UN who wish to use him and his unit to further their causes.

History:
Born in a time before the BETA had landed on Earth, Izaak Fabel was a promising young man that his parents believed would move on to do great things with his ever growing mind. Be it lead armies of West Germany to a unification of their shattered nation, pursue a career in government, or make a move for a position within the UN itself. Izaak's parents knew that his son would be destined for greatness, and this would hold true.

In 1967 the BETA would invade the Lunar surface, beginning the First Lunar War. Izaak, only seven at the time would not take part, and the fledgling UN Space Command forces would fight their hardest for the next several years until the BETA would finally make their way to Earth, landing in Kashgar Province in China. The development was followed closely by the world, and the Chinese would ensure the world that they had the situation under control. To which the world would soon learn was not the case. As the BETA would defeat the Chinese and Soviet forces that came to assist too late, the world would watch in horror as the BETA began their campaign of destruction against Asia and the Soviet Union and her Western European Warsaw PACT Allies.

By 1976 Izaak would find himself a pilot in the Federal Republic of Germany's Army, flying the the F5G Tornado that was used as the mainstay of the West German TSF force. For the next five years Izaak would mostly sit at read-alert standby with the rest of the West German military as East Germany refused to allow the capitalist West to assist them in defending the Oder-Neisse Defense Line. Until the fall of the Oder-NEisse Defense Line in the waning days of August 1983. With West Germany's only shield against the BETA utterly annihilated following the fall of the Oder-Neisse, West German Forces along with US and UN forces would take part in multiple heroic last stands as the populace of the country and the rest of Western Europe was evacuated from the continent. Managing through what many would call skill but Izaak would attribute to luck, he would survive the desperate retreat and stalling of the EBTA advance across Western Germany and the rest of France to finally evacuate across the English Channel to the safe haven of Britain.

Following the escape from mainland Europe, Izaak would be absorbed into the UN 1st Force in Britain, where a General would notice the brilliant young Officer being wasted as a TSF pilot and request him to be added to his general Staff. As an adviser to a prominent UN General, Izaak would begin to stand out as the talented tactician and strategist he was, eventually finding a way into the 231st Tactical Armored Battalion as its Executive Officer, and following the promotion and subsequent move of it's prior Commanding Officer he would find himself in charge of the Battalion.

The year is now 2004, and Colonel Izaak Fabel has not set foot in a TSF for nearly twenty five years. Yet he stands on the bridge of a TSF carrier, ready to coordinate his Battalion in undertaking the first part of the retaking of Earth.

@Ithradine as well, Poland fell in 1979 which is 25 years ago from the start of the IC. So if you want him to have been born directly after the fall he either needs to get two years older or just have him born two years after it fell. Whatever you feel is best.
