Fandom Living in a Cage (Attack on Titan

[Shandragontear]

Sorry I don't do profile templates. I much prefer to let everyone express themselves by formatting their profile how they please. I do ask that you include all the basic information that's seen in all profiles however, such as name, age, gender, history. If your character is in the military please state what branch as well. And if course if your character is a titan shifter that should be stated as well other wise your character is considered human.


Profiles can be as sparse or detailed as you'd like, I only ask that you don't play your character stronger, smarter, more able then mentioned in your profile. For example if you say you have a very skinning character they probably aren't going to be lifting 200 lbs cargo by them self with out great physical strain.


Should your character go through an event that changes them drastically in the RP, such as loosing a limb or something like that, please edit your profile to add it.


As this RP is all custom you are welcome to make custom characters who fill canon roles, here are some listed below.


Commander of the Survey corps: Angelique Smith (@Aqua)

 

[Peaceswore]

First character

Ken Tanaka

Sexuality: Pan


Race: Japanese (one of the last full blooded Japanese)


Age: 21


Personality: Ken is a cunning bastard, he loves to manipulate people and use them without the other even knowing what is going on. He is highly charismatic and smooth. He smiles quite often and it's hard for one to judge if he is lying or not. He can be sarcastic, cracking a joke at any moment he can. He can be kind, but the moment he doesn't need you, or if you are in anyway useless to him he will go straight to being completely cold hearted. If you betray him, he won't address it, instead he will slowly set up just to throw you under the titan. Now when I say he would throw you under a titian, it doesn't mean he plans to kill you (though if you prove to be too dangerous he will) . No, that only something he does if he has no other choice (though he has little problem with killing another person), he would instead try to utterly ruin your repetition and with that your life. Shocking as it may be Ken isn't a bad guy. He may look it, but he does the necessary evil to achieve something good. Despite what one may think, he has his groups best interest at heart and is ready to lay his life down for humanity and for his sister.


Crush: N/a

Branch: Military Police (Former) Survey Corps


Past: Ken was born in the underground and lived there for most of his life. He didn't have anyone with him, except his sister. He along with his sister had starred death in the eyes more then once in their life down there. However with his cunning wit and pure determination to do anything he could to survive he did just that. He was amazing at close combat and being manipulative. He learned one way to survive was not only be strong, but be cold and cunning. With the help of his sister he had gained a huge amount of blackmail on a noble and using that information the two of them got out of the slums and into upper level.


He didn't use all the black mail to become a noble or something like that as he found it too easy, too boring. Now that he had survived and gained a suitable place to live he wanted more, a lot more. He wanted to be the best out of many people and with that he started to train to join the military police. Wanting to show off he kept training, practicing and using his pure wit to get to the top of the class and graduate. Being the top he was able to join the military police, and that what he did.


Finding how corrupt it was only made him laugh in join and he went straight to work. Gaining blackmail and using people for his own gain he moved up in the ranks in not time. Though one day, he left the military police only to join the survey corps without ever explaining as to why. His simple excuse. "I have seen enough scum of humanity to last a life time, now I want to see the hope of it." Joining the corps by the age of 18. He made his way through the ranks at incredible speeds not even using blackmail. After proving time and time again, many have claimed for him to be humanities strongest, able to beat many titans alone.


Extra: He used to have a small side job as an information broker/con artist


He has a pet rabbit he named ink and utterly adores. He also has a pet black mamba that he tamed


He is really, really good with animals surprisingly so.


He is an expert at close combat and is great at forming strategizes.


Always has a ton of switch blades very well hidden but in easy reach.


Second Character

Talia Tanaka

Race: Japanese (one of the last full blooded Japanese)


Age: 19


Sexuality: Straight


Appearance

Personality: Talia is not much like her brother. She is slightly more quiet and isn't one to start a conversation. She is however very confident in her abilities and is very loyal. When she puts her mind to it she won't back down and if she is really loyal to one than she may lay down her life for them. She has a good sense of humor and once she gets to know a person a bit she will be very chipper person with a happy go lucky atmosphere.


Branch: Survey


Backstroy: Talia the younger sister of Ken, the two of them lived in the underground unable to depend on no one but themselves. Now each had a roll, Ken was the cunning manipulative one, while Talia was the one that stole for survival. She was the on that would sneak into houses and steal information for her brother to use. This is how they lived, a con artist and a thief. With this life style and each having the others back they were able to survive almost anything that got in there way.


One day Talia went along with her brothers plan to get blackmail on a certain noble so they could get out of this living hell. Of course she went with it and upon entering the man's mansion started to sneak around. She soon found the basement which is where she found what she needed. It turned out his man was doing a ton of experiments on people and such. She made sure to remember all of this, but one thing she saw really interesting was a large needle that she found in a secure vault. Interested as to why this needle was being so well protected she took it. However when she did this the noble had come down into the room and seeing her out right attacked her.


With this a scuffle broke out and the needle ended up being imbedded into her arm and the fluid injected into her much to the nobles dismay. The noble tried to capture her, but seeing as he was a slow and fat man while she was nibble and quick she was able to escape him despite the huge amount of pain and suffering she was in.


She didn't return to her worried brother till at least two days later when she felt better. When she returned she told him about the experiments the noble was conducting however she didn't tell him about the fluid she was injected with as he memory of that was really hazy. After receiving the information Ken had went to work and soon the two of them were living above ground.


Deciding she wanted to follow her brother the best she could she to decided to go into training. She worked hard and was the 8th best in her class by the end of it. However when he brother told her how corrupt the military police were she decided to join a different branch. She wanted to do something exciting something to show that even though she used to be lower than scum she could help humanity.


So with this in mind she joined the survey corps with only a little hesitation. She is determined to help humanity so maybe one day she and her brother could actually live a happy life. She is completely unaware of what is currently flowing in her blood.

[Shandragontear]

Name: Leona Suliban


Nickname: Red, Reddy, Crazy Witch, Leo, The Lioness, The one who walked back


Gender: Female


Age: 17


Sexuality: Straight


Race: Irish/Nordic


Faction: Survey Corps


Personality: Leona is often very hard to approach and seems almost cold and distant to people who don't know her. In truth she's afraid of getting close to anyone, assuming that most of the people she meets will die soon anyhow. Though she keeps her self distanced from others to avoid the pain that would come should she loose them, on the rare occasions she does allow someone to get close to her she is fiercely loyal. Believing even she is not exempt form the inevitable extinction of the human race she fights with out fear of death, willing to sacrifice her self for those she has come to care for. In battle she is described as both an angel and a demon, slaying titans merciless savagery while moving with the grace of a dancer. Like most of humanity she has an obvious hatred for titans, often obsessing over why they eat humans, and seem so happy while doing so, to the point that she looses sleep over it. When she manages to find free time Leona enjoys telling ancient stories or singing to young children, hopping to pass on some of the tales her mother once told to her, not yet fully realizing the origins of them.


Likes:


Singing - Some of Leona's fondest memories are of being sung to sleep by her mother, and has been fortunate enough to inherit her talent for it. Those who have come to know her voice often request that she entertain at bars.


Telling Stories - Another talent she learned from her mother is story telling. This is usually requested from her by local children. Though she occasionally makes up stories most of her tales are ones she learned from her mother, the ancient stories holding more truth then even Leona realizes.


Nature - Leona grew up out side of the busy districts, in a small cabin in the woods. Her father taught her how to hunt and track what wild life there was with in the great walls while her mother taught her the properties of different herbs and minerals.


Dislikes:


Titans - Doesn't everyone? Aside from the obvious reasons for hatting titans Leona also lost her parents to the titans when Wall Maria. Though revenge is probably the most obvious and cliched of motives the thought of her family being eaten still haunts her.


Arrogance - Despite her own skills Leona is very humble about her abilities and finds others who choose to brag and boast about their skills extremely annoying. She also believes that cockiness leads to a quick death.


Growing too Attached to Others - Though she's willing to put on a smile and act friendly towards others Leona prefers to keep most people at a distance. Knowing it's only a matter a time before the titans break down all of the walls, and she knows the closer she gets to someone, the more their death will hurt her, or the more her death will hurt them.


Fears:


Being Eaten Alive - To Leona this is the absolute worst possible fate imaginable. She would sooner take her own life then slowly burn to death in the acids in side a titan's belly. Like wise she is more then willing to kill another human to keep them from suffering the same fate if they can not be saved from it. Weather they are a friend or rival she would not let another human being suffer in such a way.


Humanities Extinction - Though she feels it's inevitable Leona still fears it. Additional she fears humanity will disappear with no trace left that they were ever there at all.


Going Crazy - War is enough to drive even the strongest willed people to their breaking people. And battling giants that are trying to eat you is simply maddening. Leona often fears loosing her self as her encounters with titans have caused her to grow cold and distant toward others.


Motivations:


Proving that humans are not prey. - Though she knows titans don't seem to think with the same logic as humans Leona still feels that she must fight to the bitter end in order to prove that humans are predators and not prey.


Seeing what's beyond the wall. - Despite the obvious dangers Leona joined the scouting legion in hopes of some day learning what is beyond the great walls. Though the legion has never been able to venture very far from the walls with out suffering massive casualties she hopes they might one day explore the whole world again, and relearn it's secrets.


Learning all she can about the titans. - The mystery of why the titans eat humans, where they came from, and why they didn't starve out and die during the hundred years the walls stood is absolutely mind boggling for Leona. If they eat nothing but humans then biologically they should have starved to death during the hundred years the wall was unbreached. There are moments when Leona finds her self obsessing over things like this, and longs to learn the titan's secrets, hopping that it might somehow aid humanity in eradicating them.


Appearance: The first thing most people notice about Leona is her hair. As humanity has dwindled so have rarer genetic traits such as red hair. Leona keeps her crimson locks in wild layers, the longest of which hangs to her waist, her shortest layer of hair hanging at her jaw line. Her eyes are a startling emerald green that glare with such intensity those who anger her can almost feel her gaze burning holes in them. When not angered she usually wears a calm serene expression, as if lost in some sort of day dream most of the time, a smile on her lips is a rare thing most days but it is sweet and charming when she shows it. Despite her short stature Leona has a slim, lean acrobatic build that allows her to maneuver easily with her 3Dmg. Unlike most women Leona rarely wears skirts or dresses, even when out of uniform she prefers pants, finding skirts unpractical.

Background:

The Girl

​

Leona grew up on a small farm a few miles from Shiganshina living what she assumed was an average life. Her mother Dianna was know through out Shiganshina and other local towns for her herbal remedies. A talent which lead many of the locals to regard her as a witch. Having over heard her parents playful flirting Leona had heard her father, Shane, teas her mother calling her "a crazy witch" from time to time. So it seemed odd when she over heard the towns people say it with malice and disdain. Despite those who looked down upon her family there were many who sought her mother out for remedies that the local doctors couldn't provide. As a young girl it was a bit confusing how someone could be both hated and admired as her mother was, but Leona didn't dwell on such things for very long, she knew her mother was a good person. Her father was a skilled hunter and when he could find a nest of eggs trained falcons to aid him in finding prey within the walls.


Every night before Leona went to bed her mother always told her a story, or sang to her. To Leona these were simply fun fairy tales, fantasies for her imagination. In truth her mother had come from a long line of people who struggled against the government to preserve what was known about humanities history before the titans. Due to the risk of being caught this information was always passed along verbally and no written records were ever kept. With out realizing it Leona had begun learning this history, preparing her for the day she would be old enough to learn the truth about the stories her mother told and take her place as a keeper of the past.


At age twelve Leona's entire world changed. She was out in the garden, helping her mother while her father was off hunting. The first sign something was not right was the sound of Shiganshina's alarms just barely audible in the distance. At first Dianna thought it was simply a test or a drill, but as the sirens continued she began to grow more concerned. Saddling up one of the horse she took Leona to go look for Shane. By the time they found Leona's father, however, titans had already fully breached wall Maria and were beginning to make their way out of Shiganshina.


Drawn to the sound of his screams Leona and her mother found her father as he was being devoured by one of the giants. Her drive to protect her child stronger then the shock of loosing her husband, Dianna quickly turned the horse and sent it galloping toward the closest gate in Wall Rose. They road for a few hour, with only the sound of horse's hooves and Leona's weeping. Dianna tired singing to calm her daughter but her voices was interrupted by the vibrations of giant footsteps. A deviant class titan came rushing out of the trees, moving even faster then the horse. It was quickly gaining on the two Dianna hugged Leona tightly from where she sat behind her whispering softly beside her ear. "Keep riding this direction, don't look back, and don't stop, survive, no matter what. Remember the stories I've taught you, pass them on to your own children some day. I love you my little lioness." With that Dianna dove off the horse, rolling a few feet across the ground before managing to push her self to her feet. Leona called for her mother, looking back to watch as the titan slowed as it approached Dianna, not wanting to see another parent died she looked away, hiding her face against the horse's neck and road on, crying until she ran out of tears just before reaching wall Rose.

The Solider

​

Like so many orphans having no way to provide for them selves Leona joined the Military. At first she was just another nameless face in the crowd, only standing out because of her red hair. As training began, however, it was clear she had a natural talent for acrobatics, having little trouble adapting to the 3D gear. Additionally she excelled at survival training, already knowing how to build a fire and track wildlife, as well as read the forest for signs of danger. Graduating among the top ten she had the opportunity to join the military police, but chose instead to join the scouts, wanting to face her enemy head on and see beyond the wall


In her free time she used a skill learned from her father to search for nests made by birds of prey among the few forested areas with in Wall Rose, eventually finding what she was looking for. Stealing a falcon egg while it's mother was away she kept the egg warm in a special pouch she strapped against her chest using her body heat to incubate the egg till it was ready to hatch. Upon hatching Leona's was the first face the tinny falcon saw causing it to imprint on her as it's mother. Raising the bird till he was large enough to fly she began training the falcon she'd named Horus (named after a god in one of her mother's 'fairy tails') to spot titans for her. This has given her a great advantage on expositions beyond the wall.

The One Who Walked Back

​

Most scouts are nervous the first time they go beyond the wall, and Leona was no different, though she hid her nerves well. At first everything seemed to be going smoothly till the flares started going up, multiple signals from every direction. When Leona's squad was attacked they by two titans at once they were forced to leave the safety of their horses to avoid being trampled, the squad of five lost two soldiers in the attack before they managed to kill the two titans. Their horses had been trampled to death. The remaining three sent up a pink flare and waited nearly thirty minuets with no response before deciding to take their chances walking back. Of the three only Leona was able to return to the gates of Wall Rose.


Leona arrived at dawn two days after the rest of the rest of the scouting party on horses had returned. She was covered in a mix of mud and animal excrement to hide her scent sticks and leaves stuck in to the muck to camouflage her. Her eyes were blood shot from lack of sleep and lips chapped from dehydration. Leona took two steps in to the gates before collapsing. She gave her report on what had happened to the rest of her squad upon awaking the next day, accrediting much of her survival to the aid of her falcon Horus. She has sense refused to talk about what transpired beyond the wall sense. Having survived what most would have thought was impossible she has sense been tasked with teaching her survival techniques to other scouts.

Spoiler

Though she believes they are simply bed time stories and fairy tales taught to her by her mother, Leona knows a lot more about humanities lost history then she realizes. Leona's family is of a blood line not effected by the royal families ability to erase memories.

Name: Oliver Beaumont

Nickname: Ollie

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Height: 5"5

Sexuality: Homosexual

Branch of Military: Survey Corps

Titan Shifter: Half I guess? I made something up which I will explain below.

​

Spoiler

So it's an idea I made up about how somebody could possibly inject titan blood or something into themselves and then become half titan? I thought it sounded cool at the time and stuff so yea. Ollie pretty much did that. It's a weird idea, sorry, but I just thought it sounded cool. He can heal faster than a regular human and he doesn't exactly smell human to the titans either, and he has cravings for meat in general. He hasn't told Hanji about his discovery​

Hair color: Blonde

Eye Color: Brown

Skin Shade: Fair

Personality: Creative, inventive, optimistic, sarcastic, caring, smart, reliable, quick tempered, antisocial

~Studying Titans

~Riding his horse

~Finding ways to sneak into titan territory and past the walls

Dislikes:

~Rain

~Snow

~Backstabbers

~Being inside the walls

~Getting picked on for his long hair

Backstory: Oliver lived inside the walls with his five older siblings and his parents. Being the youngest, he always got teased by his siblings and his parents pushed him to be the best he could be. He was generally smarter than the rest of his siblings, and loved to invent things, and write stories. When Wall Maria was breached, he was 10, and his mother and three of his siblings were killed. The remaining two fight alongside him in the Survey Corps. Oliver is determined to make sure every last titan leaves the planet, but approaches it in a slightly different way other than fighting. He believes by studying them and their origins, he can figure out how to stop them. But he is pretty good at killing them too, and his instructors think he is going to be in the top 10 by the end of training, and even ranked higher than his two older brothers.

Other: He desperately wants to go outside the walls and see if there are any other people outside the walls, other civilizations. He wants to go by himself, and since he has a theory that titans mainly go off of smell, he has a plan to cover himself in Titan saliva (ikr, sounds gross) and go outside the walls

(I myself got that theory from when Eren was eaten for the first time in the anime and when he saved Armin. Armin didn't get eaten while he was laying on the roof covered in titan saliva, so I have a theory that if you smell like a titan they will believe you aren't human? I haven't read the manga yet sooo xD )

[Shandragontear]

All approved, except mine of course (gunna finish it here in a minuet.)


I also approve of Oliver Beaumont half titan abilities however, this will be the only character allowed to have this ability for two reasons:


1. I don't want anyone stealing/copying @Oliverfan's original idea.


2. I find it very unlikely that two different characters would come up with the same exact theory/idea. The only way around this might be if Oliver were to share his discovery with another character in the RP and aid the other character in acquiring the titan blood.

Approving my own profile now, though because I can't give an unbiased opinion of my own work I'd appreciate any opinions the rest of you have on it.

Long story short, she joined the military to protect her family, friends, and achieved her way up to the Survey Corps. No titan was going to destroy her dreams.

(I noticed a few had Captain Levi with likes/dislike, if he's still in the Survey Corps he should be the strongest right? Just pointing it out)

Backstory:

The Mysterious Beginning

Alexander one day was born he did not know how he was born he was just popped into existence when he first opened his eyes there was steam all around him and he was surrounded by Titans not even paying attention to him at all, Alex did not have any idea what was going on at all he could here what the Titans think but most of it was scrambled up things he didn't understand


It was a couple of years since Alexander was created through a unknown way which he tried to figure out but always ended up with a headache from all the thinking so he gave up on it. During this time Alexander has been studying the tendencies of Titans and noticed that they do not need anything and just eats on habit and once they eat all the humans in one area they move to another area no matter how far Alex noticed he has no need for any substance but can eat to fit in with these beings called human beings that are trying to defend themselves from what they call the Titans that he has traveled with it looks like these humans destroy land so they can make places for them to live and they pollute the land to. It looks like these humans destroy the earth for their own survival, they also have created things called 3D Maneuver Gear to combat Titans so Alexander took one from a dead human and started playing around with it after a year or two he mastered the maneuver gear a year or two after that he started creating his own techniques for it.

The battle to the last and new life

After a while of mastering the Maurer gear and creating his own techniques for it Alexander noticed the Titans aggressiveness towards him first it started off small like trying to step on him on 'accident' to where they would almost eat him like a human usually he escaped them easily and hid until they're aggressiveness tuned down. He tried his best to not fight them since he was one of them but he noticed he craved for food like a human would and would usually have to eat luckily he could still eat raw meat since he didn't know how to cook, but this ended to the day of the bloody massacre of a horde of Titans that the humans found while they were decaying but never found the cause of.


The day of that fight Alex was eating a raw deer he killed when all of a sudden all the Titans around him attacked at the same time the Maurer gear he used was all out of gas that propelled the hook like things but good thing he had a great amount of strength and speed but only to where humans would think he trained for a long time. He ran under the legs of the Titans and dodging every attack even from what he called the irrational ones even though they were a little bit harder to , but he was caught by a 11 meter irrational that he didn't keep his eyes on the irrational lifted him over its head and was about to eat him but he had a instinct telling him to slice his arm. After going with his instincts he took out a hook that he got by dismantling a 3D Maneuver Gear and sliced his arm easily after that you can guess what happened.


After the monstrous fight Alexander went to a giant human civilization that he didn't know of but luckily the wall he went through wasn't that crowded with Titans and luckily he picked up some clothes from humans since that is what decency is called by humans which he concluded he was slowly becoming, except that one weird transformation ability that gave him tremendous power. After getting in the wall he was asked questions which he replied with "I'm sorry I don't remember" he was classified with amesia essay and was let in after getting in in he heard about a wall being conquered by Titans which was like good news to him. During his time in the human colony he moved to the inner wall to join the humans military which he had no had no problem with but he is still deciding if he should help the Titans which he did once in his past breaking through the walls that is the only time he showed himself but the humans decided giving him the name of "Armored Demon". After he graduated as the 2nd highest in his class he joined the scout regiment and is still deciding what he should do.

Personality


No matter who she's speaking to, Kailani shows off her emotionally detached behavior. In other words, the girl only shows facial expressions in rare times. She tends to stay silent, so it's rare for her to ever speak up. This isn't because she afraid of standing her ground; in fact, Kai is one of the last people to become petrified. It's simply due to the fact that she believes that chattering is bothersome. With this mindset, her presence is lost even to the most perceptive people. She could be standing right in front of someone, and they still may not notice her; in other moments, she could disappear or reappear from anywhere. It's possible for her to enter and leave a room with not a soul noticing. Of course, it's not as if she could teleport. In actuality, the girl just isn't noticeable at all until she speaks up. Trying to pretend like this is a positive trait, she notes it as her "superpower" that she has named "misdirection". Among others, her misdirection has given her the nickname "Phantom". Kailani has even referred to herself as her brother's shadow; as her brother becomes stronger, she becomes stronger. Besides that, the girl is sedulous. She'll push herself to past her limit just to achieve her current goal. It's true that she can be people person, but such things are infrequent; she can offer motivating advice. Though, she's casually blunt. Kailani will go as far as lecturing and knocking sense into those she finds in the wrong, but such talks and or punches are usually only given to her brother. While she is generally a calm and rational person, Kai becomes extremely infuriated when she hears disrespectful gossip involving the Survey Corps. In her raging nature, the girl's aura practically changes; she's filled with fighting spirit and is hard to pacify. However, this is only because she respects every single soldier to the last minute.


Habits / Quirks


misdirection


It's more than common to have Kailani not be noticed; she'll often be forgotten or just not seen at all. Because of this, she's gotten use to sneaking up on others and will do it on instinct.


sisterly love


Because it's the only way to stop her brother from making idiotic decisions, she's gotten comfortable with punching him now again. Yet, if someone like her brother comes along, she's compelled to stop their actions physically.


Likes


sunsets / sunrises


Kai simply enjoys watching the colors that splash the sky. She finds it both peaceful and inspirational, two features she hopes the outside world will have someday. Therefore, she'll stay up just to watch the happening occasionally.


those who surpass fear


She never respects those who show no fear. Instead, Kai gives her admiration to those who surpass their fears for it's been shown to be a difficult thing to do.


silence


While she cannot say that she hates hearing the talk of those around her, Kailani relishes the tranquility in speechless times. This ties with her appreciation for both daybreak and nightfall due to the fact that it's customarily hushed.


improvement


Getting better at something is a sign of hardworking, so she's fond of seeing even the tiniest bit of development.


Dislikes


quitters


Kai believes that quitter don't try hard enough; due to her own determination, she's stated that she'll never quit, even if it costs her life.


people who try to shoulder everything


When others try to take tasks out of the girl's hands without her asking for help, she views it as them believing she's weak. She's willing to ask for assistance, but she will not take her pride being wrecked. Besides that, Kailani assumes that people who try to take over everything are either showing off or trying to make up for something they did before.


titans


It's obvious to why she would hate them.


The Wall Cult


This is explained in her backstory.


her own father


This is explained his backstory, too.


Fears


her brother dying


Being the only person she has left, Kai will do anything in her power to protect her brother. If her brother died, she would give up all of her efforts to rid the world of titans altogether.


Motivations


the outside world


She has always wanted to see the beauty of the outside world; the girl daydreams of the peacefulness often.


the people


Every time Kailani comes back from outside the walls, she sees the lives of those she hopes to save- everyone. While she knows it's impossible to save that many people in such a war, she hopes for the safety of them. Of course, she cares for the safety of her closest family member and friends even more.


the walls


Because of her hatred for the wall cult and for her father, Kai wants to rid the world of titans in the hopes that the walls would be forgotten.


Appearance

Combat


While killing of titans, Kailani is said to possess an incredibly rapid speed. Her nickname, "The Phantom", also ties along with her speed while wearing the 3dmg. Even without the equipment, she's quick on her feet. The girl carries a lot of stamina, and that stamina allows her to increase her rate of movement. She reacts quickly due to the fact that she's aware of most titans' actions; this excludes shifters, of course. With a great reaction time and a spectacular amount of stamina, Kaliana easily becomes a blur while using 3dmg. She's even found an effective way to stay at this speed without using too much gas in the tanks, and she can control her equipment as if she was doing so without effort. However, her speed comes at a price. Kai has focused on progressing her speed into the point where she's nowhere near strong. She can never get her blades to cut through the nape of a titan's neck; therefore, she has to cut the titan's neck consecutive times. This action is a risk with regular titans anyway, but she finds it life threatening to go up against a speedy variant without back-up. However, when put together with her brother, they hone each other's abilities.


Background


Kailani grew up inside Wall Maria, her family being of a low class. Her mother had died after the moment she gave birth to fraternal twins, Kai and her sibling. With that, the two were left with their father- a strict man who stuck with tradition. Her father often gave them stories or lectures on their heritage; although, not much was told about how their land use to be. In simpler words, the family only had the memories of few traditions that they use to carry out outside of the walls. However, after a few years, her father was converted into the Wall Cult. He would preach about how the gods created the walls to protect them, and he would become rather unsettling when it came to anyone damaging the wall. In fact, their father would be too invested in the cult in multiple situations; he wouldn't come home for multiple nights on end because he needed to "pray". When he did come home, he would never offer the two children the things they needed, i.e. food, clothes, etc.. In all honesty, he was more of a burden. Although, their father had seen it the other way around; he would emotionally abuse them, and the Kai couldn't handle his words. Kailani believed that he was only acting this way due to her worth, and she changed personality entirely to be able to accept the treatment. Her once glee-filled traits were switched into gloomy ones; she tried her best to get her father to acknowledge her existence. However, her new ways did not help with her situation. In that moment, she figured that the only way to get her father to notice her was to protect the wall he cared about so much. Yet, when the two twins joined the Survey Corps, their father was more than angry. He threatened to disown them if they even dared to step outside the walls; Kai was hesitant, but her brother encouraged her to continue on with the journey because he didn't want to see his sister go through the torment any longer. Like their father said he would, he rejected the idea that he was ever their father; he went as far as to say that their mother must have had an affair because "real" children would never go against their father. With these words, a new kind of rage was enlisted upon Kailani. She would destroy the titans so nobody would have to rely on the walls any longer. The girl wasn't surprised when Wall Maria was broken down. At the time, nobody had ever thought that the titans would be able to make such an advancement in this war. However, since a young age, the wall gave Kai an eerie feeling. After thinking over the idea of the life and death, she had realized that every single thing would break down eventually. Therefore, she knew the walls were weakening as the years past; it was simple to see that nothing could last forever. Though, she cannot say that she imagined the death count to be so high. At the moment of the attack, Kailani was outside the walls with the rest of the Survey Corps. When she came back to see the trauma, she tried to do everything she could do to help.

In her year of graduating the trainee squad, she was the second best

Kailani Haku - twin sister


Ethnicity

Height

Hair Color

Eye Color

Faction


Survey Corps


Personality


Aomine has an entire personality of his own. He has the ferocity of a lion, and he carries himself with his never-ending ambition. The man has a hellish intensity that "only the devil can compete with". Once he says he'll do something, he'll do it; he'll never back down. His desire for success pushes constantly pushes himself over the limit, and he builds off from the reaction towards the previous drive; he's always seen overexerting himself in the hopes to improve. Some may say that he tries to hard, but the man only wishes to fulfill his goal. In this way, the boy is often found injured or in extreme fatigue; however, like his sister, he never gives up. He's iron-willed. When he finds his own determination, there's few ways to stop him. While he may seem over the top, he truly has a amiable heart. He tries his best to show his affection to those around him, but it's often taken as bluntness. The boy is the very definition of competitive. However, he's always there to support those who need it. As long as he knows that it'll put sense into someone, he's willing to do anything. He'll often go to the extreme to assist his squad. To many's surprise, he's also pretty good at cooking. Even when he tries his hardest to show his good disposition, Aomine undoubtedly intimidates others whether it be with his strength, personality, or stature. His smile alone is enough to terrify some. Unluckily, he also comes with a unbelievably short temper. His hotheaded temperament boosts his fighting spirit. While he already had enough militance, his fighting spirit is practically doubled when he's enraged. It instantly becomes dangerous to try to stop his next move, but it's not as if he'll stop his motions with any argument. Physical action is the only way to stop Aomine from doing something daft.


Habits / Quirks


wrapping his arm up


Every morning, he'll wrap his left forearm up in medical tape. It use to be just for an injury, but he doesn't feel secure without it.





free time


Aomine doesn't like wasting his time sitting back and relaxing. Whenever he has free-time, he'll find a way to improve his physical abilities.





cracking his joints


Every day, like clockwork, the man will crack multiple joints in his body. On most occasions, it's fairly loud and somewhat disturbing. However, he can't help but do it.





Likes


challenges


He enjoys being challenged because he hopes to prove his opponent that they should never underestimate him.





his horse


After building a fine relationship with his warhorse, he's learned to enjoy the time he spends riding the animal.





songs


Aomine is nowhere close to being an okay singer himself, but music is one of the few things that can boost his mood. When he was younger, he would commonly ask Kailani to sing him to sleep.





Dislikes


titans


The reasoning behind this is obvious.





people who treat others as if they're ignominious


Anyone who does so reminds Aomine of his father, a person he despises.





his father


As said before, the boy cannot stand his father's presence. He believes hell has a special place for guys like him.





Fears


dogs


This sends him back to when he was a child. While playing outside, a large dog tackled him to the ground; the dog bit his hand with plenty of power. Holding the scar as a memory, Aomine refuses to go near any kind of dog.





what his sister would do if he were to die


While he's almost as equally scared about his sister dying, he's fairly positive that she won't die in his lifetime. However, if he were to die, he knows that she would give up altogether.





failure


Aomine believes that if he fail at his goal, he'll never be worth anything.


Motivations


the walls


Just like his sister, Aomine's main motivation is to rid of the titans so there is no more use for the putrid walls. He credits this determination to both his father and the wall cult.


to become the best


After years of thinking that he was nothing, he found that he wanted to prove his worth. Aomine believes that the only way to do this is to show that he worth anything is to be the best soldier he can be.


Appearance

Combat


On the battlefield, Aomine's true talents show. He may not be humanity's strongest, but he comes close to it. Crediting his training, the boy's strength and agility has gotten him far. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, he's excels without a doubt. To add to it, he can effortlessly put that strength into his blades. Yet, he's sluggish when using the 3dmg. This is because, if he were to handle the gear like other soldiers, his weight would force the tank out of gas in half of the time of a regular 3dmg user. However, when put together with his sister, they hone each other's abilities.


Background


His background is similar to Kailani's. However, instead of his sticking in solitude, Aomine found his resolute towards his father's disappearances in pure rage. In other words, his way of coping with difficulties is stepping into the light and taking those difficulties head on.


Extra


In his year of graduating the trainee squad, he was best graduate, getting the reward of first place for his skills.

Commander of the Garrison


Personality


Valentine has the qualities of any good leader. Instead of strength, she holds herself more on logic and reason; she's known for her ever-working strategies. She knows when to back down and when to keep fighting, making her mind even sharper. Although, she has a hard time baring with the deaths of those under her command. Val often takes their deaths as her own fault, and she refuses to allow any one to die without a reason. She cares deeply for the welfare of her soldiers, and she gets rather emotional when the death toll is raised. In this way, she tries to treat the members of the Garrison as if they were her family- not as if she'd know what family was truthfully about. Yet, she's always wary around her men. She'd like to say that she trusts every single one of them, but she realizes that she cannot afford to give people weak spots to poke at. However, she'll often be seen given speeches to her men on how they're accountable for every slip up; she's told them that one broken rule can lead to chaos. This alone shows that she's more than serious about her job; it also shows off her organized behavior. For example, if one thing on her desk wasn't in order, she'd become furious. Though, she teases and jokes around more commonly than the next person. With this trait, she's seen as the father figure of the Garrison- the one who holds them together.





Habits / Quirks


navigational patterns


Val can always tell which direction she's traveling in; though, this doesn't have much uses until one gets lost.





military position


Thanks to her time at the Stationary Guard, she's gained the habit of always standing in an "at ease" position; her posture is never a problem.





Likes


policies


She enjoys keeping order to things, so anything that helps her do so is greatly appreciated.





astrology


Valentine's love for the stars started at a young age, and she'd often pray to falling stars. Now, she spends a bit of time on studying everything she can about it.


reading


With new knowledge comes new power, or at least that's what Val believes.





Dislikes


chaos


Ultimate discord discourages the thought process of what is right and what is wrong, and she wouldn't want her mind to be scuffed with such erroneous behavior.


titans


She holds grudges for those who died while under her command, but her main reason for not being able to stand the creatures is because she cannot stand them due to the pandemonium they cause.





Fears


humanity will lose


Valentine fears the day that all of humanity's people, traces, and history will be eradicated due to the humans being inadequate against the titans.


the death of a regiment


While she doesn't fear her own death, the death of others scare her horribly; he doesn't want anyone around her to die.





Motivations


"Do you really need a reason to get rid of such beasts?"


to restore order


It's as simple as it's said; she wants to live in a peaceful world. Yet, that cannot happen with the titans roaming about.


Appearance

Combat


Because Valentine's advantage is her intelligence and her classic leadership qualities, she isn't as powerful as most. However, she graduated as the seventh best in her trainee squad; this was mostly because her quick thinking allows her to progress past others without effort. Because of her lack of physical ability, she cannot do much without a group or squad. However, she proves to be an excellent leader in her emotional debuts. Her own skills reside mostly in the fact that she always thinks outside of the walls. (see what I did there?)


Of course, this form of thinking leads to brilliant plans for every occasion. However, in the case her plan fails, she prepares several back ups.





Background


When Valentine came into the word, she had no one. As if it was a bad story, she was left on the doorsteps of multiple houses. The next house that received the basket passed it onto the next home they say, stating that they didn't have enough money an time to care for a child. At the last house- the worst house-, an elderly woman opened with maximum force. Looking down at the baby who was practically screaming for help, she had realized that she wouldn't even care if the child was raised by wolves. Yet, there was something strange about the child; she knew that much. Therefore, the baby, who was now given the name Valentine, was taken in by the ancient lady. With the help of the lady, whom she called Circe, she developed quickly. Circe was known as a ruthless widow, but, in honesty, she was the only one who encouraged Valentine. However, the lady would refuse to be known as a mother figure; she wanted to be remembered as a trainer of what she thought was true strength- knowledge. Val had listened through every one of the lady's lessons and lectures; thankfully, she had been prepared for nearly everything. When Valentine was ten, Circe was proclaimed dead. With that, Val was forced onto the streets. She had known that nobody would take her in, so she began applying Circe's lessons towards her own survival. Though, even in times she was desperately in need , she wouldn't try to steal for food or break into a house for shelter; instead, she would work for it. Circe had said that those who lose their humanity do not deserve to continue, and Valentine followed that rule. She worked for every luxury that others would steal for or would simply be given thanks to their parents; she lost her childhood to the work. Yet, she realized that she couldn't go on the way she was. Therefore, she followed through with her last resort- joining the military. However, her life of hardwork continued; without a doubt, she was prepared for it. Valentine handled the trainee squad with ease. Going into the stationary guard, she quickly advanced to the top of the Garrison chart. Val had taken the position of the Commander of the Garrison.
