Setting: Hey, kids. There are MASSIVE CANON SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT. If you don't want to have all the surprises of this canon ruined, don't read the settings section past the point where I start talking about PLOT. We good?

We good.

Welcome to the world of Shingeki no Kyojin: everyone is traumatized and nothing gets better. It is basically late medieval Germany; guns, cannons, and mass production of steel exists, but horses are the main means of transportation. Everyone seems to think it's super stylish to have an undercut and 1970s porn mustache. No electricity, bread's the main source of sustenance since meat is rare. Lots of people are farmers and plague (especially after huge massacres of people) is always a threat.

Around the year 740, massive human-esque beings appeared and began devouring all of humanity. These huge humanoid monsters, Titans, are to humans as I am to Oreos. What are Titans, you might ask? Even if you didn't ask, I'm going to tell you. Well, the easy answer is that they're monsters. Titans resemble human beings-- they are bipedal creatures arms and legs and torsos and heads and butts (some have hotter butts than others, yet again, much like humans). However, here's the fucked up thing: they are all ridiculously deformed. Sometimes, the abnormalities are minor, like enlarged heads or small limbs. Sometimes, these abnormalities are fucking ridiculous, like lacking skin, lips/ears/etc, and subcutaneous tissues. These ones freak me out the most, okokok. If wounded, they bleed, but the blood rapidly evaporates and the Titans heal near instantaneously. Like legit, at one point some chick takes an ax to the back of one's neck, and it just keeps healing every time she pauses to swing. The only way to kill a Titan is through cutting out the nape of its neck-- anything less than this (decapitation included) will not work. After death, Titan corpses rapidly evaporate to skeletal remains, then nothing at all. Makes for easy clean up (not counting all the pieces of humans and large sums of human blood everywhere).

Titans are compelled to seek out and devour humans (often attracted by large groups of people), but they don't care about other forms of life or substance. Dogs? Fuck 'em. Deer? Who gives a shit. Horses? Yeah, whatever. Thankfully for everyone, most Titans are dumb and little more than mindless beasts-- easy to trick, distract or deceive. Most also become inactive at night or after prolonged exposure to darkness.

They also lack a complete or functioning digestive tract. Instead, they possess a stomach-like cavity that eventually fills up with what they swallow (human bits), which forces them to regurgitate so that they can continue eating. Yeah, this series is fucked up.

There are four main classes of Titans--

5 Meter class: These Titans tend to be more human-looking, possessing large heads in proportion to their bodies. For the Americans in the audience, that's 16 feet. The smallest are 16 feet tall. Let's all take a moment to weep.

7 Meter class: These Titans have very large heads with a semi-quadrupedal, ape-like stance. Arguably the most common Titan class. 22 feet. Still weeping.

15 Meter class: The most destructive type of Titan and among the largest of the Titans. These Titans have more proportional bodies but with also grossly enlarged mouths. 50 feet tall. No thank you.

Deviant type Titans: These can be any shape and size; the main identifying factor is that they act outside of the general, unpredictable behavior of most Titans. They are unpredictable x2. Hardcore unpredictability action. They have different priorities; if presented with a human, they might not target him/her-- instead, deviant types often ignore nearby humans and charge to more important locations where they can do more damage. Or they can just creep-- finding other shit more interesting, like staring at trees or chillin and shit. Basically, if you are fighting Titans, you don't want to run into one of these.

Titans just suck in general. No one wants to deal with their shit. Considering how fucking terrible they are, them just appearing one day and deciding to eat everyone results in some shitty situations for humanity. It's not a pretty sight-- however, at the brink of extinction, humanity built a three-walled city/cities that are all grouped together/three walled thing where people can live. It looks something like this:




The little nodes are mini-cities. Titans are attracted to large groups of people, so in order to reduce the man-power used to protect the walls, these little node cities were made to draw the Titans' attention. Not surprisingly, it actually works. But we'll get to that in a bit.

Let's look at the society, aww yeeeee. Alright, so, as you can tell from my majestically drawn map (please feel free to confuse my lack of art abilities for a stylistic choice), there is a hierarchy to society. Wealthier people cushioned deep within the walls, tinyass villages and poor people and shit outside. The society itself is pretty heavily militarily run, which uh isn't all that surprising. There are three parts to the military:

The Military Police: The cool kids. The coolest kids. They work primarily within wall Sina, chill out protecting the king and other wealthyass pieces of shit, and hoard all the talent and corruption. In order to join the Military Police, you have to graduate from military training as the top 10 of your class. The leader is Nile Dawk, and he has an incredibly unstylish 1970s porn mustache. Spellcheck keeps trying to correct 'unstylish' to 'stylish,' but no. 1970s porn mustaches will never be in fashion, never again. I swear to god, I'll make sure of it.

The curious thing here is this-- the most skilled soldiers are kept furthest from the Titans. HMMMMMMM.....

Scouting Legion/Recon Corps: The crazy kids. These are the guys who go beyond the walls to try and win back ground from the Titans. Not surprisingly, their casualty rate is like a million percent. The amount of people killed, mutilated, maimed, etc etc in this group is insane. Not surprisingly, this is the military division that Eren has idolized since he was wee babby. The leader is Commander Hot Dad. Anime Chris Evans. Irvin Smith, and he has chosen to put his faith in Eren and Eren's spoilerific abilities.

Garrison: Everyone else. Basically, if you can't get into the Military Police and you don't have a death wish, you join the Garrison. These guys patch up the walls and, in cases of emergency, protect/evacuate the citizenry. The leader is DOT PIXXXSSISUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSS, who likes to get drunk and think about lady Titans devouring his body. Obviously, his parents loved getting drunk too, because why the fuck would anyone name their child Dot. Even in post apocalyptic medieval Germany, Dot is unacceptable as a name jesus fucking christ. Like Irvin, he's decided to put his faith in Eren and Eren's spoiler powers.

Outside of the military, there are two other powerful forces: asshole nobles and asshole religious fucks. Asshole nobles are self explanatory. The asshole religious fucks are a group of people who worship the walls as their gods (basically), and are staunchly against any wall modifications or digging under the walls. For most of the series, we just think that they're cray cray; however, some major characters later discover that the walls-- you know the ones that somehow humanity built with bullshit medieval technologies while being eaten by Titans (please tell me you were questioning the technicalities of this since the moment i first mentioned the walls, please, i mean come on germans are good at building walls but not that good)?

Yeah, those walls. Those walls are Titans. Everything is Titans. The walls are massive, old old old, inactive Titans, and apparently the religious folk are in on this little secret. Which explains why they've constantly been blocking plans to build cities underground/modify the walls.

So, uh, fuck.

Alright, now let's move on to the plot and how Eren Yeager fits into the plot. The basic plot of this series is that nothing ever goes right and it will only get worse.

That's it. You're done, app over, accept me, thanks bye nerds /backflips off the earth, defeating the laws of gravity and lands on the goddamn sun

So, in the great and awful year of 844, we meet wee babby 9 yr old cutiepatoot Eren Yeager. His father is taking him to meet a friend-- Mikasa Ackerman!!!! This adventure ends in finding both of Mikasa's parents dead, Mikasa kidnapped by slavers who want to sell her because she's, like, the last asian left, Eren deciding to kill those kidnappers, Eren stabbing the shit out of two of them, Eren almost dying to the third, Mikasa stabbing the shit out of the third one with super anime strength, and the Yeager family adopting Mikasa.

In case you need it more obvious: Titans did not fuel Eren to being a psycho-- he already was one.

Titans don't help though.

I typed way too much for that small event, so go HERE if you want a detailed plot explanation and how its impacted Eren. Here, I'm just going to go through the major events in canon and kinda mention Eren here and there, but not much. A lot of this shit is copy and pasted, because I am a man of efficiency.


Mikasa and Eren + Eren's parents live together pretty happily. Eren's best friend has always been another kid named Armin, and Mikasa fits in perfectly with their friendship. Cutie kids are cutie for about a year, until...

845 - the fall of Shiganshina and Wall Maria. On a lovely day where Eren's dad leaves Shiganshina to go doctoring elsewhere, a massiveass Colossal Titan appears (awkwardly peeking over the 50 meter high walls) and kicks in the gates to Shiganshina, allowing a ridiculous quantity of Titans past the walls.



The result: a massacre. Rocks and debris crush people, Titans eat everyone, shit goes down. Unfortunately for Mikasa and Eren, Eren's mom is one of the victims. They find her crushed under the remains of their home, legs mangled, with a Titan approaching. Hannes, one of the military's Stationary Guard, shows up, grabs the kids, and runs. The disadvantage of hauling kids over and under your shoulders is that they get front row seats to watch their mother/mother figure suffer the fate of all anime moms.

Next, an Armored Titan shows up and bodyslams the fuck out of the gates of Wall Maria.



Welp, there goes a third of humanity's land. What's worse is that during the next few years, as Armin, Mikasa, and Eren work as child laborers for food, humanity begins to starve. The government, as a last ditch effort, sends out ridiculous sums of refugees to "reclaim Wall Maria." The government knew this wouldn't work. The people knew this wouldn't work. The Titans probably knew this wouldn't work. But that didn't stop a fifth of mankind dying, which included Armin's entire family. So peace out, 1/3 land and 1/5 people.

So, after working as child laborers, Eren and co. join the military because Eren wants to kill every fucking Titan. They train a lot, make friends, and are generally optimistic. So, the year's 850, and there are plans in place to retake Wall Maria (legitimate plans, this time), and maybe, just maybe, there's hope that humanity can strike back.

That is until shit happened.


I'm going to link this picture until the color pink makes you want to assassinate me.

Welcome to a total repeat of what happened at Shiganshina. The Colossal Titan kicks in the gate to Trost, and Titans pour in. Strange thing: the Armored Titan never shows up this time. But we don't really care about that because in the middle of defending Trost, Eren loses limbs and dies saving Armin.

Most of their trainee friends die too. Armin and Mikasa are ridic depressed. So, yeah. Titans eating everyone time. Things look pretty goddamn hopeless, until... Just as Mikasa's given up and about to be eaten, a Titan appears and kicks the shit out of another Titan. Up to this point, no Titan has ever acknowledged the existence of another, let alone kick the shit out of another. Ever. NEVER EVER. We also know this Titan is special because it has anime hair and an anime 6-pac. Very impt.

This anime Titan proceeds to dish out ridiculous sums of furious murder on every Titan it sees. Eventually, though, this murdertitan stops regenerating and begins to lose limbs and get devoured by other Titans. The Titans see him as a threat. After one last-ditch murdereffort, it collapses, evaporates away, and 'lo and behold! Eren's inside it.

In his quest to kill every Titan, he has become the Titan.

How?????????????!!?!?!!!?!?!?! We get some creepy flashbacks of his dad doing some really suspicious doctoring shit, but that's about it. its a mystery~*~*~*

Understandably, the military and most everyone in general is like "holy shit that kid turned into a Titan. Titans are bad. that kid is bad." That logical structure would earn them more than the C+ I got in my intro to Logic class. Armin gives a rousing anime speech, it doesn't work, everyone's about to die via bullets (not Titans), and then DOT PISSUUXUSUUSUUXSUUS shows up and is like "nah we can use titanpower."

So Armin basically comes up with a plan to block the hole in Trost that the Colossal Titan made by making Eren turn into a Titan and move a big rock. There are about nine million chapters and 12teen hundred episodes in the anime about Titan!Eren trying to carry this big rock. It's dramatic: he can't control his Titan form at first and attacks Mikasa. It's heart wrenching: people die. It's friendship inspiring: Armin breaks through the cloud in Eren's mind and helps him gain conscious power over his Titan form.

Whatever. All that you need to know is this:



Humanity has begun its counterattack at the Titans, for the first time ever. It's incredibly impressive, and obviously the only solution is to try Eren at a military tribunal. Before it, Eren has the Scouting Legion take him under their wing, and he gets to join the crazyasshit military group. Which also prompts all his friends to join, despite the fact that they will all probably die, and they all know that they will probably die.

god im tired of typing
are you tired of reading
we can do this
i have faith in us

So, thus begins all the chapters of Team Eren and Friends and the WINGS OF FREEDOM-- aka the Scouting Legion. On their first mission outside of Wall Rose, they get chased down by a horrifyingly intelligent female Titan with a nice ass. It's obvious that it's a human turned into a Titan, just like Eren-- it's also obvious by this point that the Armored Titan and Colossal Titan are both humans who can turn into Titans.

Eventually, through a lot of death and bullshit and me crying over my computer and sobbing and crying and sobbing and this fucking series man, Eren helps Scouting Legion friends capture the female type Titan, and they all discover that she's actually his friend from trainee days-- a chick with a cutieass nose named Annie.

(skipping an arc here because it doesnt involve eren leave me alone huffpuff)

Scouting Legion friends eventually figure out who the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan are, but they don't get a chance to do anything about it, because the Armored Titan and Colossal Titan out themselves in the least dramatic manner imaginable. Well, the Armored Titan outs them-- the Colossal Titan just stands there awkwardly and sweats a lot, just like he's been doing in pretty much every conversation since the series began, because plot twist they're Reiner and Bertholdt, two other trainee friends who have been around since the beginning of the series.

Reiner asks Eren to come with them to their home village, and understandably, Eren's like "what the fuck."

Reiner decides to kidnap him anyways, because he wants to take Eren to his home village-- somewhere beyond wall Maria. So most impt plot points here are this: 1) capturing Eren is seen as a more important task than killing off all of humanity, 2) people live outside the walls, despite the fact there are Titans there and those Titans will eat you, 3) ?!?!!!!???!?!!?!?!huh!?!!??!?!?!?!1/11!!?!??!!?uno1!?!!!?!?!!!!

So

that's all we got so far, because there's only a chapter a month and life is hard being a fan.

Personality: If you had to describe Eren Yeager in one word, it would be determination. If you had to further define that word with various descriptors, you could say he is the physical manifestation of shounen anime hero determination. of There's a point where one character (specifically the solider that saved Eren and Mikasa as Eren's mom was eaten) sums Eren up perfectly: "While I've never seen him win, I've also never seen him give up when he was losing." So how does he actually do anything as an anime protagonist? Hannes, the solider, tells Mikasa and Armin: "It was always your job to take care of the trouble that willful brat lands himself into." So basically, Eren rushes head first into literally anything and everything he can, Armin makes the plans that Eren tries to follow, and Mikasa kicks every threat's ass. The benefit of being ridiculously and unhealthily codependent on your friends is that Eren rushes into situations, knowing and trusting that Armin and Mikasa will always have his back. And they do have his back.

So, what fuels this ridiculous determination? To put it simply: genocidal murderrage. To put it complexly: even before Eren Yeager was fueled by the need to exterminate every Titan ever, he had already killed two people. He was already getting into fights all the time (usually to defend Armin), regardless of bully-size or ability. No, no, what drives Eren is the very concept of fighting itself. After killing two of Mikasa's kidnappers as a kid and being almost killed by the third, he tells Mikasa that there's no way to win without fighting. If you live, you win. If you die, you lose. There's no way to win without fighting-- regardless of how big, powerful, terrifying the threat is. Before the Titans broke down the walls, Eren's rage was focused at bullies and drunken Garrison soldiers. Post Maria's fall, Eren spends about 90% of his time talking, dreaming, fantasizing, rambling, or feeling like he should kill Titans.

Not surprisingly, because this is an anime, and everyone in animes is under the age of 20, Eren is a 15 year old child solider. This means he still acts his fucking age. Eren spends a large sum of time screaming and crying, because honestly, that's pretty realistic when you have to watch a ton of your friends and comrades die all the time. But he's still hopeful. Quick example: When Titan that looks suspiciously like Santa is about to swallow Armin, in a last ditch effort, Eren saves him, taking Armin's place in the mouth of the Titan. He basically dies in the process.

Now, this is pretty important here-- it shows how hopeful Eren really is. Right before the Titan chomps down on him (severing his arm in the process), Eren mentions the outside world: there's no way he can die here, of course. He has to see the world outside the walls with Armin and Mikasa. They have to see the seas of fire and snowfields of sand and the vast, salty water. This shows how, despite the fact that Eren is fueled by rage, fury, PTSD, and everything negative ever, he's still a 15 year old boy who clings to this childish dream with all his might.

Also, while nearly dying inside the Titan, Eren focuses on his mother--- everything that drives his need to genocide the fuck out of Titans is his mother and how much he loved her. Big mammas boy. He wants to fight and win for her sake, because when he was a kid, he was too weak to save her.

Another thing about Eren (that I hinted at with his unhealthy codependency on Armin and Mikasa) is that he is ridiculously loyal and trusts the shit out of his friends. Hell, the whole reason he first got his leg bitten off during the Trost arc was because his trainee friend, a kid named Thomas, was eaten and Eren flipped his shit and tried to avenge sweet darling Thomas. With the Scouting Legion (when trying to capture the Female Type Titan), he tries trusting his comrades, and it ends up getting them all getting killed-- which is Not Okay. He wanted to save them, but they asked him to trust them, so he did. Even though others were dying, even though they were dying, he tried to remain true to his promise of trusting them.

That's why Annie, Reiner, and Bertl's betrayal is such a big fucking deal to him. When Armin first figures out that the Female Type Titan is Annie, Eren almost fucks up the military's plan to capture her and almost loses Mikasa and Armin, because he can't get over the fact that Annie, who taught him how to fight, is the female Type Titan. Eventually, though, when he realized Mikasa and Armin would have to die for his inaction, he gets his shit together, and fights her. It's hardcore, super baller, and for once, Eren isn't losing. But it hurts, man.

With Bertl and Reiner, it's even worse. At least Annie was somewhat anti-social; everyone idolized Reiner. Eren sometimes wished he could be as competent and as good a guy as Reiner was. When he fights Reiner, his sense of betrayal here is what fuels his rage-- hell, he had once spoken to the two about his mom dying and how traumatic it was. He was talking to the two guys who killed her and thousands of others. Eren's completely riddled with disgust-- he has a habit of dehumanizing people that he views as enemies, but it's tough to do with someone he's viewed as a hero (Reiner) for all these years. Eren's fight with Reiner is articulated through a series of "you guys are real assholes" "you fucking TRAITORS" "i feel like shit" "shit damn that shithead" "you seriously gross me out" "i feel like puking my guts out." Obviously, Eren is incredibly good (read: terrible) at articulating his feelings and handles betrayal very well (read: not at all).

At Tu Shanshu, Eren's going to be a little bitch. His entire goal in life is to kill Titans, so when there are suddenly no more Titans?? For a doublekill of motivating factors, Eren's always wanted to be a member of the Scouting Legion, even when he was wee babbs. So how do you military without military???!?! Needless to say, Eren is going to be Not Okay with this setting change.

However, it won't be as bad as it could be-- despite the kedan claiming they're "trapped," the ocean is a concept he's only heard of from Armin's books, and the new "world" will be ridiculously exciting to explore. He's not smart enough to really comprehend the idea of a state existing between Life, Dreaming, Death etcetc (It doesn't help that he only half-listens to what people tell him), so most of his reactions will be less focused investigating mysteries and stuff, and more focused on being a dumbshit explorer. This setting is incredibly different from his own, and he's still a kid who's lived behind walls all his life-- while he might bitch and moan and be convinced that the turtle is some sort of gigantic Titan turtle that needs to die, he's going to be excited about the setting.

He's also going to either be obsessed with the idea of getting his friends to Keeliai, because Eren can't survive on his own without them, or getting the fuck out so he can go back and kill Titans all day at home.

So basically, tl;dr: he's a determined genocidal child solider suffering from large sums of PTSD and dependency, but all he really wants to do in life is see the goddamn ocean with some friends.

Appearance: get on the floor an lets jam

Abilities: Eren is the shounen main character of the series, so of course he's going to have the amazing ability of yelling a lot and using determination to try an overcome every obstacle. It's very impressive.

He is also used to moving in 3D-- basically using this gear to sail around and kill Titans.

Eren has ridiculously fast regeneration abilities due to being a Titan-- he can lose limbs and instantly regrow them in Titan form, or he can slowly grow back his limbs and shit after sustaining heavy injuries.

Finally, the most important thing-- Eren can transform into a Titan. 15 meters tall, super buff, massively destructive, and vaguely naked. He can only transform into this form if he injures himself, and his power is limited. If he uses it too much, he gets weaker and weaker until he can't use it at all.

Inventory: His Scouting Legion uniform and a mouth full of rage (some DICKHEAD named REINER took his fucking 3D gear). Also the key to his home's basement that he always wears around his neck.

Suite: Wood sector with Armin, if the Armin app is accepted. Got permission from the most modest of Otters. Eren is way too codependent to stay anywhere else, and the Wood sector has trees-- a strategic necessity in case of a Titan attack (what? no Titans here? well, they're coming, gotta get prepared). Also, honestly, I cannot picture Eren in any of the more luxurious sectors, because wow no

In-Character Samples:
Third Person:

[ ooc: sample was written for an Entranceway application; if that's unacceptable, simply ask, and I'll happily provide another. ]

He's been in Wonderland for a while now, and though he knows this world is different from his own, Eren still feels trapped. He's been told that this place is safe-- well, relatively speaking. There are events that sound a little threatening, but none of it sounds worse than what he's had to face in the past. There are no Titans. No Titans. No Titans. There are no Titans, and in fact, the vast majority (read: everyone minus Armin) has never even heard of Titans... Instead, they keep mentioning this "Geek mythology" crap anytime he brings them up.

So he’s safe (Eren still spends most of his time on the roof or glancing out the windows from the upper floors), and he knows he’s trapped. Trapped in Wonderland, trapped in life-- his first death happened when he and Armin made themselves a poorly constructed boat and decided to sail the big, salty water. His second came when he tried to navigate the forests—it took a week before his body finally gave out, and he awoke in his bed like nothing had happened. His third death happened in the forests again— he lasted three weeks the second time around.

After that, Armin had convinced him to chill the fuck out for a little bit... At least until they could make some progress on figuring out the whole Wonderland mystery thing. So, despite feeling trapped (living like livestock within the metaphorical walls of Wonderland, nothing's changed), he quits his desperate, exploratory ventures for now. He turns his attention inward-- maybe the Queen'll have some answers.
