Appearance:
*2d, 3d, or anime only. You can also describe your character's appearance instead. Artists are more than welcome to post their own drawings. Feel free to beautify your CS to your heart's content.
Name:
*All new characters only have a first name. You get a family name either when you die, survive your first mission, or start at level 1 with an advanced class.
Class: Rookie
All new characters begin in the Rookie starting class. That's level 0. You get to pick an advanced class when you reach level 1, that's after you survive your first mission. Please write your level in your CS every time you level up.
You can make as many characters as you like, but only one can be used during missions, and only that character levels up after the mission. If your character dies, feel free to make a new Rookie. Some missions give special rewards that allow you to keep your hard-earned advanced moves and level-up rewards when your character dies.
1. Roll +Stat
Roll 1d12 and add your stat to the result. A 10 or higher is a total success, a 7-9 is a qualified success. Hope to avoid rolling 6 or below.2. Forward
The next time you roll for an action you have Forward on, add or subtract the indicated amount to the roll. So, “+1 Forward on Rage” means that the next time you roll+Rage, you add one to the result.3. Ongoing
Until the condition described ends, add or subtract the indicated amount to every roll of the thing you have Ongoing on. So, “-1 Ongoing on Agility until you stop and rest” means that every Agility roll will be made at a -1 penalty until you stop and rest.4. Hold
Applies to the "Tactician" and "Shifter". Allows them to perform their moves.

" Pick one "
The NaturalOne of the hardest parts of this business is learning your way around Maneuvering Gear. Most trainees need weeks to get from keeping their balance to flying. Not you, though. You're a natural. The moment you put the harness on, you knew that you were made for this. You take to the air like a fish in water. Others maneuver, you dance. Even if every Titan died, even if a new weapon was created that made it obsolete, you wouldn't go back. You may never be truly at home on solid ground - the sky is calling.
New Character Creation:
Come up with a full name, backstory and goal. Start at Level 1. Assign +2, +1, +1, +0, -1 to your five stats. Your Willpower begins at 2.
Starting Moves:
You get these two the moment you pick this class.
1. Acrobatic Stunt
When you perform a reckless and difficult stunt during battle, roll +Agility. Regardless of the result, you gain an Advantage (below are additional Acrobatic Advantages you can pick from). On a 10+, choose two. On a 7-9, choose one, but you also draw the attention of your enemies, who will make attacking you their next priority, also the GM will roll the exposure dice for all of them every time you make a move against one of them.2. Scout Ahead
Acrobatic Advantages:
• You wind up in a place safely out of reach of any enemies
• One Titan is disoriented and stops attacking for a moment
• The rush of exhilaration gives you +1 Forward to any roll exploiting or burning the Advantage gained from this move.
When you use your Maneuver Gear to scout deep into enemy territory, roll+Agility. On a 10+, you gain information on the number of titans ahead, along with their positions. On a 7-9, you're spotted, and must head back with incomplete information or draw their aggression.
Advanced Moves:
You get to pick one every time you level up and choose to learn an advanced move.
1. Break Through
When you use your Maneuver Gear to slip through a large number of Titans, roll +Agility. On a 10+, you come through unharmed on the other side. On a 7-9, pick one:2. Lightning Dispatch
• You misjudge your landing, and hit the ground just short of safety. Roll exposure dice.
• You overexert yourself moving into position. Take -1 ongoing to
Agility until you can get some rest in a safe place.
• You're running low on gas - you'll need to resupply soon. Take
"Low on Gas" as a Disadvantage.
When you Strike to Kill, you can roll +Agility instead of +Execution.3. Opportunist
When you roll a 12+ on Avoid Harm while fighting a Titan, you can evade into a position to counterattack, gaining an Advantage you can use against the Titan.4. Parkour
As long as there are climbable surfaces leading to high enough ground nearby, you can Get Into Position or Strike to Kill even if you don’t have working Maneuver Gear.
The WarriorThe war against the Titans is a business, and humanity's primary export is murder. You understand this better than anyone. You're not here for the chance to uncover the secrets of the world, or for the chance for fame, or anything else. You're here to kill Titans, and you're going to kill as many as you can. Even your fellow soldiers may be intimidated by you, but that doesn't matter. Your enemy is in front of you, and you're here to make sure it doesn't stay there for long.

Starting Moves:

1. Into The Fray
When you charge ahead of the team to begin a fight with an overwhelming offensive, roll +Execution. On a 10+, you damage a titan without need of an Advantage. If you burn an Advantage, you can kill it outright. On a 7-9, your attack still succeeds, but choose one:2. Combat Momentum
• There are more Titans than you thought, and you end up "Surrounded".
• You have to push your body to finish the attack. Take -1 ongoing to Agility.

takes some sort of injury as a Disadvantage.

When you threaten someone to get them to cooperate with your immediate goals, roll +Execution. On a 10+, they submit to the pressure of your dangerous presence and comply. On a 7-9, the4. This Is How It's Done
GM picks one:
• They don’t help, but they don’t actively oppose you, either.
• They help for now, but will want payback for their humiliation later.
• They snap and attack recklessly. You can overpower them, but there may be consequences.
When you give an ally a painful lesson in combat technique in the roleplay, they gain an Advantage that they can use by remembering a technique you used against them. Allies can do this once per mission.
The TacticianNot everybody shines brightest on the front lines. There's much more to this war than how fast you can move or how many Titans you've killed. You know better than anyone that this war is going to be won or lost by the flow of information. You've been tasked with coming up with The Plan. No matter how large or small the scale of a conflict, there always has to be a plan, or you're all just running to your deaths. Your burden is heavy and your responsibilities are great, but few soldiers have more trust and support from their allies than a damn good tactician.

You get these two the moment you pick this class.
1. Here's The Plan
When you take a moment to form a plan towards one specific goal, roll +Awareness. On a 10+, you successfully work out the safest route towards success, but the GM will tell you:2. Spot An Opening
• What complication you'll have to overcome on the way.
• What resources are required to carry out the plan.
On a 7-9, you work out a route towards success, but it's going to be very dangerous. If you can overcome it, though, your plan will still work.
When you watch for the right moment to strike, roll +Awareness.On a 10+, one nearby ally gains an Advantage they can use against the enemy. On a 7-9, they gain an Advantage, but it’s only temporary - they’ll have to recklessly strike right away to exploit it or it will disappear. Roll exposure dice.
Advanced Moves:

1. Appeal to Command
When you explain your plan to a commander, roll +Awareness. On a 10+, you can ask for whatever resources you require for the operation, and you’ll get them. On a 7-9, Command will either want some proof of the validity of your plan or add an additional objective before they’ll approve your resources.2. Battlefield Intuition
When you Assess the Situation, you can ask one additional question on a 7+.3. Bring in the Cavalry
When you coordinate with another team before an operation, roll +Awareness. On a 10+, gain 2 Hold. On a 7-9, gain 1 Hold. You may spend 1 Hold to have the other team arrive for support at a critical moment during the operation.4. Wait For My Signal
When you direct your team in setting an ambush, roll +Awareness. On a 10+, every team member gains an Advantage that can be used against any enemy at the moment the trap is sprung. On a 7-9, choose one:
• Only one ally gets the Advantage.
• You all get the Advantage, but another attack comes from an unexpected direction.
The LeaderThe war against the Titans is brutal and unforgiving. Surrounded by death and chaos, it's easy for a soldier to forget what it is they're fighting to protect. That's why every team needs someone like you - to remind them. When all hope is lost, you become a beacon of hope. When panic sets in, you become a pillar of support. You're the heart of the team, a ray of light reminding your allies that there's always something to fight for, and a dedicated ally to all, dead set on getting everybody home alive, no matter what it takes.

When you perform a Desperate Rescue, the usual results are replaced with the following:2. We Stand As One

sort of injury as a Disadvantage.

When you attack alongside an ally with perfect timing, roll +Discipline. On a 10+, you both gain an Advantage you can use against the Titan, and the ally gets +1 Forward to their next attack against it. On a 7-9, only your ally gains an Advantage, but they still get +1 Forward.4. Pull Yourself Together
When you talk down a panicked ally, roll +Discipline. On a 10+, your ally is no longer panicked. On a 7-9, your ally is no longer panicked, but your mental endurance is wavering. Take -1 ongoing to Discipline until you can stop and clear your head in safety.
The ShifterYou never quite felt like you were the same as the people around you, and now you finally know why. After all, they're only human. Nobody knows what shifters truly are. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, and they're too rare to be easily studied. All that is certain is their abilities: You can change between human and Titan at will. Titan shifters are the most powerful and dangerous weapons of humanity, the only force we have that can truly fight the Titans on their own terms. With fists that can topple buildings and a body that can stop cannon fire, you are a manifestation of humanity's hatred of their eternal foe. Your only impulse is to kill. Just hope, for all our sakes, that you can hold on to enough of your humanity to only kill your enemies.
New Character Creation:
(Can be a secret only you and the GM know.) Come up with a full name, backstory and goal. Start at Level 1. Assign +2, +1, +1, +0, -1 to your five stats. Your Willpower begins at 2.Starting Moves:

1. Titan Transformation
When you focus on your goal and draw your own blood, roll +Rage. On a 10+, you become a Titan, and gain 3 Hold. While you are transformed, you are many times larger and stronger than normal. Most events that would kill you will instead revert you back to your human form. This transformation lasts until you dismiss it, but using it for extended periods or multiple times in a row is exhausting.2. Titanic Power
On a 7-9+, you become a Titan and gain 2 Hold, but choose one:
• You go berserk, temporarily losing your human intelligence and lashing out at everything around you. Your allies will have to help you recover your mind.
• Your body only partially forms, leaving you with less than the usual number of limbs to work with.
• Your over-the-top transformation draws the attention of every Titan in the area.
While you are a Titan, you may spend 1 Hold to:3. Regeneration
• Ignore any damage an attack from a Titan would do to you.

⃞ Your Titan body is abnormally huge.
⃞ Your Titan body regenerates at an incredible speed.
⃞ Your Titan body can move with a speed and grace rivaling a human.
When you revert back from a Titan into a human, you may emit a huge cloud of scalding steam. This won’t harm you, but any other humans and smaller Titans will be repelled, and the steam provides enough visual cover for you to escape.3. Deafening Roar
When you let out a titanic roar at an incoming Titan, roll +Rage. On a 10+, the Titan turns and runs, and you gain an Advantage against it. On a 7-9, the Titan attacks you above all other threats, and you gain an Advantage against it.4. Titan's Strength
