[b]Intro:[/b] This RP is based off of a manga and anime series called Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). This RP will have no ties to what happens with Eren, Mikasa, or Armin (Main Characters). You do not need to have watched the anime or read the manga to know whats going on.
[b]Story: [/b]About a hundred years ago giant humanoid creatures called Titans began appearing with their only intention being to slaughter humans. This situation caused mankind to build a system of walls around their settlements in order to provide protection. The walls stand about 50 meters tall and consist of two walls within the outermost wall. The walls names are: Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina. There are four towns on the edges of each wall, since Titans are drawn to large concentrations of people this is where humanity's defenses can be focused.
Just five years ago, the outermost wall was breached by a Titan different than any other Titan seen before. This Titan was an armored Titan. It charged at the wall creating a hole letting in all other Titans. After it breached the wall it just disappeared. All residents that lived within Wall Maria were moved to Wall Rose, although most may have been killed.
You have just signed up to the Military camp to start your training. You may join whatever squad you want after training, except for the Military Police unless you were placed in the top ten after graduating. A poll will be held after to see who will be in the top ten.
Military[/b]'][b]The Military:[/b] The Military is humanity's defense against the Titans. The Military is divided into three squads: Scouting Legion, Stationary Guard, and Military Police. Each squad has a very important responsibility. People wishing to become any of these must be trained in a Military camp. In these camps they train you to be able to: work a 3D Maneuver Gear, fight Titans outside the walls, and fight other soldiers if need be the case. The top ten in the graduated class are qualified to be able to join the Military Police, but do not have to if they have interests in another squad.
Scouting Legion: This military squad is in charge of exploring the outside walls and reclaiming land from the Titans in hopes of recovering what has been lost. Their success rate is very low though.
Military Police: The Military Police serve as the police within the walls and also serve as the kings guards. Another duty of theirs is to monitor tax collection and land distribution. This squad also uses guns instead of swords unlike other squads. They use guns since they don't fight Titans like the other squads. Only the top ten alumni from the trainee squads can apply for Military Police.
Stationary Guard: This squad mainly focuses on protecting the wall. Anything from repairs to patrols. They spend most of their time preparing for attacks on the wall. They also prepare evacuation plans for if the wall is breached.
[b]3D Maneuver Gear: [/b]This is a set of gear that was created by humans to allow great mobility when facing Titans. It takes on the form of a harness and has two grappling hooks at each hip. It requires gas to move the user forward in the air. If you wish to go faster you must use more gas. Be careful though, most soldiers don't carry a lot of gas tanks with them.
[b]Titans:[/b] Titans look very much like giant humans without sexual organs and it is not known how they reproduce.Not much is known about Titans except that their only intent is to kill humans. Their height ranges from 3-15 meters high and there have been cases of Titans standing 60 meters tall. A Titans only known weak spot is the back of its neck, if it is sliced there it falls to the ground and disintegrates at a rather fast rate.
The Walls and Districts (extra info if you're curious)[/b]'] Wall Maria: This is the outermost wall of the kingdom. It stands 50 feet tall, and was breached about five years ago. The only district that was known within it was the Shiganshina District.
Wall Rose: This is the second outermost wall and is the current wall that most humans take residence in. Known districts within it are the: Chlorba District, Karanese District, Trost District, and Nedlay District.
Wall Sina: This is the innermost wall that protects the kingdom where the king and other citizens reside. The known districts here are the: Hermiha District, Stohess District, and Yalkell District.
[b]Rules:[/b]
The rules are simple:
-No Metagaming, Powerplaying, or Godmodding
-That's pretty much it =)
Name: Alden Trent Age:15 District coming from: Shiganshina District Squad Training For: Scouting Legion Appearance:About 5'9" with black hair and I wear glasses. I pretty much always wear my uniform even when I'm off duty. I don't look like the picture, That's just the uniform. Backstory: To be RP'd
Name: Curtis Age: 17 District coming from: shiganshina district Squad Training For: i would like to join the stationary guard to help keep the wall intact. Appearance: 5'7",black hair, blue eyes, wears uniform only while on duty and sometimes while off duty.
((Hmm... interesting thought. I planned for the events from the show to happen, but I suppose it would be interesting to see an alternate storyline. Since you're the only one who has joined so far, i'm gonna leave that part up to you. I'm fine either way.))
((Application:
Name: Kiara Chandles
Age: 15
District coming from: Karanese District
Squad Training For: At first aims for Military Police, but then changes her mind to Scouting Legion
Appearance: She is 4'6" and has short blue hair. She is normally seen wearing her uniform, but on the occasional days off she sometimes changes to casual wear, but its always with a black cloak.
this is generally what she looks like just with a uniform. Its a good reference for her hair and cloak.
Backstory(Optional if you want it to be found out in the RP): to be rp'd
Suggestions?: Actually a question...which trainees will be those that can transform into Titans? Will they be npcs or can we decide if we want our character to turn into a Titan? I know that every trainee can't secretly be a Titan, but could a few people rp a character that is?))
((and I just want to say that this is an amazing idea for an rp! I love the manga and anime, so thank you for making it into an rp!))

((Sorry for being late, but I thought that this had died. It's good to see a Shingeki no Kyojin fan out there. You Are Accepted!!))
((And to answer your question, I think I will have people ask to be Titans. I think it will be a first come first serve kind of thing.))
((Is it possible to begin the RP as, say, a garrison commander, artillery head, or response team member? I'd rather not have to go through all the arduous military training sessions, if possible.))

"I will not flee though you foretell my death. I was never called a coward."
((If you want to I suppose, but it really wouldn't seem fair to others. For now you can train the others since we are going to have to go through training anyways. You can be in the position you'd like to be in. I'll allow it.))
Squad Training For: None. Darius has already completed his military training in the past. He has served as a Garrison Head, and has also served. in the campaign to retake Wall Maria. He currently serves as a Field Instructor for the Military Academy.
Appearance: Darius has a stern, no nonsense face, a fierce gaze, and a toned body. He has long, raven black hair that is cut neatly so as not to obstruct his vision. His constant usage of the 3D Maneuver Gear has been taxing on his muscles, as such, he has a sinewy and strong physique.
Backstory (Optional if you want it to be found out in the RP): Darius was born and raised to a farming couple in the Nedlay district. From an early age, he had admired the cannons and fortifications of Wall Rose, and felt a great urge to join the military. Darius' parents were initially against this decision, but eventually relented once they realized that their son was serious.
During his training, Darius displayed remarkable skill and dexterity at utilizing the 3D Maneuver Gear. However, his true prowess shone during Artillery Training classes. His estimation skills and aim were uncanny, and, unsurprisingly, upon his graduation, Darius opted to join the Wall Garrison. Everything was peaceful for a year, until the sudden appearance of the Colossal Titan.
The soldiers and artillery men of the Wall were caught off guard, and in the ensuing chaos, the Titans broke through their initial defenses. Utilizing his 3DMG, Darius and his squad rendezvoused with the remnants of the Wall Maria garrison, intending to halt the spread of the Titans. With their cannon firing skills and their talent at utilizing the 3DMG, the combined forces of both garrisons managed to hold off the Titans for a time.
However, they could not hold them off indefinitely. Eventually, the Armored Titan appeared and broke through their defenses. Darius managed to escape, along with a small group of other survivors, but the rest of their forces were decimated by the attack. Darius spent the next year on leave to recover from the psychological impact of the attack, and returned to help in the Crusade to retake Wall Maria.
After the Crusade, Darius returned home, disgusted with his own actions and failings, and having fostered an even greater hatred for the Titans. He applied to join the Scouting Legion, but was rejected because the military psychologists deemed him unfit for service in that field. Darius was initially enraged, but eventually decided to assist in the training of new recruits at the Military Academy. He is a substitute drill sergeant and a field instructor there.
Suggestions?: Nothing comes to mind.

((Accepted. And sorry for being out for a couple of days, but without further ado let's get this RP started. I will let anyone start it if they wish if not then I will start it.))
((Well, I guess I'll start.)) I open my eyes groggily as I awake from my deep sleep. Today is the start of training and I know it will be hard to make it. I get up out of my makeshift bed and walk outside as the blazing sun blinds me temporarily. I go back inside and change into the uniform that was provided when turning in my application. I then walk swiftly to the meeting point for all trainees. I can see that I am just one among the many, and I know I cannot slack off even though that is what I usually do. I know I must fight for my spot in the scouting legion, and I will not let these murderers - no, these monsters live among us. I know that my family survived the attack, but shortly after the attack it was the people that let my family die. This so called military that claims they protect the people, yet they attacked my family as they tried to escape. They left them in the Shiganshina District. They made me an orphan. This obviously cannot be forgiven. I am not becoming a soldier to destroy the Titans, I am becoming one to kill the man that forced my family to stay as they tried to escape. The leader of the Scouting Legion.
<Kiara>
I woke up before the sun rose again and decided to just get up. I guess I was nervous because today was the start of training, but tried to suppress that thought as much as possible as I put on a stern face and walked to the trainee's meeting place. By the time I had arrived, the sun was just peeking its head over the horizon and there was only 2 other people here. As the sun rose higher into the sky, more trainees began to arrive and the area was full of unsettling chatter. I looked up from the ground to scope out the competition and found my gaze land on a boy with black hair and glasses who also was staring at all of the trainees, but he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I broke my gaze away from the group of people around me and looked up at the clouds. I had to bring my hand up to shield my eyes from the sun and began to ponder if my goal was truly the right choice. Should I really aim to try to change the Military Police? What could I really do? I shook those thoughts away quickly though and returned my gaze back to my peers.

((@reptillian Its fine! Actually its wonderful! I'm so glad to see another Karneval fan! You are the first one to point where my username and pic are from X3 I was getting worried that I was the only Karneval fan here hahaha))
<Kiara>
I decided to get up from where I was sitting and make some small talk with someone before the drill instructor arrived. I walked over to the dark haired boy with glasses and asked him, "What district did you come from?"
((Nico if you come on before Admiral, feel free to post that your character arrives and calls their attention. I just don't know when you will be on, so I wanted Kiara to have something to do while she is waiting, but you can have Darius start the training. The conversation between her and Alden doesn't have to happen. Oh and Reptillian and Sitruc feel free to join in the conversation too! I'd be nice if they all got acquainted early on.))
I look at the blue haired girl in rather astonishment. It had been about a week since I had spoken to anyone. I mean, there were the times when I said thanks for the food that they handed out, but nothing more. "Um....Uh, I'm from the Shiganshina District. " I say while my voice sounds kind of dry. I try to think of something else to say, but I mostly hope that this person can keep the conversation going.
I look at him with a shocked expression that quickly turns to awe and pure curiosity. "You came from the Shiganshina District?! I'm so sorry. That must have been terrifying! I can't even imagine what it must have been like seeing Titans up close," I shuddered. There were so many questions that I wanted to ask him, but I refrained and remembered that I still hadn't introduced myself. How rude right? "Oh and sorry. My name is Kiara. What is yours?" I asked as I stuck out my hand.
