[hider=Emil Burton] Appearance: [img]http://i.imgur.com/TFE0cAj.jpg[/img] Name: Emil Burton Nickname (if any): None Age (age after two year timeskip): 17 Height: 160cm (5'2") Weight: 59kg (130lbs) Short Bio (pre-colossal titan): Abandoned at birth, Emil grew up in the care of an orphanage within the Shiganshina district. Being taught to read and write at a young age by the caretakers of the orphanage as well as being fed regularly, apart from being an orphan Emil grew up a relatively normal life. Once old enough to be allowed to leave the orphanage during the day on his own Emil began to fall in with the older crowd of kids that he lived every day with. They made games of chasing one another through the streets and between the crowds at markets, and as Emil got more comfortable with the city and the older boys he began to follow them on the less acceptable activities they enjoyed outside the orphanage. Emil learned to pick pockets from the older boys, quickly falling into stealing purses and change from the pockets of market goers in order to buy snacks and sweets for himself and his friends. On top of the pick-pocketing the older boys also began to show Emil how it was that they managed to get away from people so easily if they were caught. By using the buildings to their advantage. After years of running on rooftops and climbing around Shiganshina Emil developed an amazing sense of spacial awareness, able to judge distances and speeds required to make jumps from one roof to another as easily as second nature and being acutely aware of anything that he could use to his advantage in moving through the rooftop and alleyway environments that he spent most of his time in outside of the orphanage. Following the attack on Wall Maria, Emil was separated from his group of orphans and ended up living on the streets of a city within wall Rose, pick pocketing to survive. He was caught by the Stationary Guard two years later and was given the choice of either serving time in a state run jail making big rocks into smaller rocks or join the military. He chose the military, figuring that a life breaking rocks was worse than running with the low possibility of being eaten alive. Personality: Emil meets many of the core facets to be considered, psychologically, an introvert. Preferring solidarity over company and the peace of his mind over the musings of others. This is not to say that he doesn't like people, he is actually a very amiable person. Easy to talk to and can be considered a friend by most who know him, he would just prefer after a long day of interacting with others that he is left to himself. He actively attempts to avoid confrontations, and is never the one that will be stepping in to break them up, in fact he is more likely to be the one to simply melt into the background and disappear which has been noted as a possible factor that may cause problems in his future military career in regards to possible cowardice and in the worst case, desertion.

The third child of his parents Julian and Katharina Greiser, Lukas grew up living a rather uninteresting life with his family in Karanese. Unfortunately Lukas seemed to gain the least useful traits when compared to his two older siblings, Lea and Jonas who were not only gifted in their school work but always seemed to be respectful and willing to help with any chores around the house. Lukas on the other hand was constantly finding himself in trouble with his teachers, shirking chores, and being generally disrespectful to his family and elders much to the dismay of his parents. As Lukas grew his problems only worsened, as he frequently skipped school and snuck out of the house to wonder the streets of Karanese until his parents had finally had enough of his disrespectful nature and did what they thought best to straighten their youngest child out. They signed him up to join the military. At the time it seemed like a perfectly sane idea. There was no way their under-achiever of a son would land in the top ten in order to embarrass the family in the inner-cities, and there was no way in hell the boy would willing join the Survey Corps after being forcefully enlisted, and that was if he made it through the tough three year training regiment. They had figured he would likely drop out of the training and return home, beaten into obedience and with a new outlook on just how fortunate he was. But these hopes did not go quite as planned. Lukas ended up making his way through all three years of training, coming out a changed person, far more obedient than before and with a new outlook on just how fragile life could be after learning of the Titans true nature throughout his three years training. Although not top ten in the class, he did manage to score rather well and was seen as a cadet that would be a capable soldier which in turn drew the eyes of the Survey Corps. In true Lukas fashion he shot down the eager offer from the Scouts to join them and instead joined the Garrison, where he ended up being stationed in the Krolva District on the East of Wall Rose from 839 to 844 when he is transferred to Shiganshina. For the next year Lukas spent his time getting to know many of the Garrison members stationed in Shiganshina and had even taken a bet to dangle with his maneuver gear mere meters above the Titans hands, of which he won, and also found himself up against a military tribunal for reckless use of military assets. He did not win the tribunal and was demoted over the incident with a forfeiture of pay. Although this never ended up going through the proper bureaucratic lines as the fall of Shiganshina was just a few weeks after his tribunal ended. Present for the revival of Hell on Earth that was Shiganshina after the wall was destroyed, Lukas found himself facing down the Titans with a squad he was still relatively new to and people that were less than enthusiastic to throw their lives away at the hands of the Titans, of which Lukas wholeheartedly agreed. However his squad pressed the attack, manning to down two titans before losing three of their own to an abnormal Titan. Lukas and his surviving teammate made a hasty withdrawal to the wall and were witness to the destruction of the inner gate by the Armored Titan. From there they evacuated from Shiganshina to Wall Rose via horse. In the following years Lukas has found himself permanently stationed in the district of Trost. His experiences in Shiganshina found him change even more as a person, taking on his care for the lives of those around him as he saw just how easy it was to lose such things and how easily they were taken for granted while they were right in front of you. In the year 847 Lukas has settled down with his wife Lena in the middle of Trost, close to the Headquarters building and they are currently trying for a child.[/hider] [color=fff200]Personality:[/color] Blunt and caring don't tend to be two words that are put in the same sentence, and yet that is how the majority of Lukas's squad would describe him. He shows genuine concern for the well-being of his soldiers, whether it be from problems at home, within the military, or just life in general, Lukas is the squad leader that will go out of his way to offer his help and support in whatever it is that is going on with his soldiers as well as random soldiers around him. Although this is where the blunt part of his description comes into play. Lukas does not tread lightly in what he says, instead jumping right to the point no matter if it may not have been the most surgical way of going about things, which depending on the situation may land Lukas with some angered looks or a black eye. Not one to shy away from friendly conversation or banter, Lukas enjoys the company of others and will actively seek out interesting conversation in order to keep himself entertained thanks to his short attention span when not doing work.

She grew up in a rather quiet town, where all the kids went to school, there was work for all the adults, and the threat of titans seemed to be a world away from how they lived. Throughout her schooling the girl didn't have very many friends, as her distrusting nature and harsh tones tended to send most of the kids running. But she did make close friends with a boy named Martin Flynt. The two grew up together, fighting off bullies and spending most of their spare time with the other. Until one day they finished their schooling and were left with the important decision of deciding what they would do for a living. Martin suggested joining the military, to get out of their small town and see the rest of the world, to live in a never-ending adventure. Call it childish optimism or the blissful ignorance of their early lives in such a safe area but Evi agreed and the two enlisted in the military much to the dismay of their parents. At the age of thirteen both Evi and Martin found themselves thrust into the cruel world of being soldiers. Their experiences in boot camp far harder than they had ever expected, and their hometown location from so close to Wall Sina brought many unwanted looks and unwelcome fights from those who lived farther out in the walls. However the two persevered and graduated training together, with her scores not high enough to be in the top ten and with neither of them being quite enthusiastic enough to join the Survey Corps both opted to join the Garrison. Evi and Martin ended up being stationed together in Trost and were present to help with the massive influx of refugees when Wall Maria fell. Since the fall of Wall Maria the Garrison has stepped up its training and increased the quality of its soldiers in preparation for when the Colossal Titan makes another appearance. Evi has benefited greatly from Garissons "revival" after the fall of the wall, greatly honing her skills with her 3DMG and becoming the most skilled with it in her squad. The training in preparation for the Colossal Titan to reappear have also seen her and Squad 9 gain a high level of teamwork with one another. [/hider] [color=DD582D]Personality:[/color] Evi is hard to get to know. Tending to be openly hostile to those that have yet to gain her trust or respect and pushing them away from her in the process, making it even harder to become close to her. For those that do gain her trust she is a nice enough person to be around, even if her comments come off as snarky and condescending she truly means no harm, it's just how she has always spoken. The pessimist of Squad 9, she isn't afraid to voice her concerns on anything that she doesn't think will go well, which tends to be just about anything the men in the squad can cook up.

He attended school and made great friends with the girl that all the rest seemed to shy away from, being able to see through her hard outer shell and reach to the person within. The two fought bullies, jumped in creeks, and ran through the woods together until it came time to graduate. Taking a page from Evi's book of unpredictability Martin suggested to the girl that they join the military, to see the world outside of their small town and to go on what would be a rather interesting adventure to tell people about when they were older. Much to his surprise Evi agreed, and the two shipped off to the Cadet Corps together. Scoring high enough in the class to land as number ten of the top ten, Martin was urged to join the Military Police by many of his fellow cadets, but instead opted for the Garrison in order to not be separated from Evi. Stationed with Evi in Trost following their graduation, Martin was witness to the refugee crisis that followed the fall of the walls and was almost selected as one of the many soldiers that left Wall Rose to escort the suicidal culling of the populace by the crown that was the failed attempt at reclaiming Wall Maria. Since then the Garrison has stepped up its commitment to the people within the walls and has once again joined the Scouting Legion as the only two reliable branches of the military. Martin has made massive gains in his teamwork since the Garrison began its frequent training for if the Colossal Titan ever reappears and as of now works extremely well with Squad 9, and even better so with Evi. [/hider] [color=B8860B]Personality:[/color] Martin is not a confrontational person, avoiding arguments and fights as much as he can, but when he is pulled into one or is forced to fight he has no reservations to do so. Friendly and easy to interact with, he is the exact opposite of his long time friend and squad mate Evi. Seen as the calm to Evi's storm Martin tends to be the one to deescalate situations she is involved in or even explain to others what Evi is trying to convey with her harsh words. The mediator of Squad 9, Martin is level-headed and willing to try out just about anything that falls within the realm of possibility when it comes to ideas from the other guys.

It is this upbringing that has left Fathi essentially blinded to the cruel reality of the world he lives in, and as such he has remained woefully ignorant to the struggles of surviving against the Titans. Once he was done with his basic education, his mother, Amira, told him that his father had already set aside enough money for him to attend university and get a degree, Fathi instead went against the wishes of his Mother and decided to venture off into the world to try and figure out who his father was. He searched for months, living off the money that he had stolen from his home as he searched. Eventually he ended up in Western most district of Wall Rose, Krolva. But he didn't find his father. His money running out Fathi turned back toward Yarckel, making it as far as the gate that stood in between wall Rose and Wall Sina but was turned away when he was unable to produce a travel permit or any sort of identification that proved he was in fact a citizen of the inner wall. His home just on the other side of a fifty meter wall, Fathi decided to survive in the town on the other side of the gate as a drifter, working odd jobs in order to feed himself before he was picked up by a military police patrol and labeled as an illegal inhabitant of Wall Rose due to his lack of documents. Caught in a never-ending cycle of misunderstandings Fathi ended up being forced into the service of the crown as a soldier in order to gain his documents through service. Fathi graduated near the middle of his cadet class, despite his want to make the top ten to be able to go back to his mother in Wall Sina he was unable to perform high enough to do so. He was assigned to the district of Trost in the Garrison there, and was put into the service of Squad 9. Having been still in training during the fall of Wall Maria, Fathi did not witness the ensuing crisis of refugees or how the crown decided to deal with the population that was sucking the land dry. But he has been there long enough to hone his skills and become proficient in working with the rest of his Squad. [/hider] [color=8BE9FD]Personality:[/color] Upbeat and optimistic, Fathi; or Fa as the rest of Squad 9 calls him; is the happiest of Squad 9. He has yet to witness anyone devoured by titans, and has only fought them on one occasion to cover the Scouting Legion leaving Trost (Even then in a position of support and not direct combat) when the Garrison was forced to take down a single Titan to allow them to leave. As such he remains optimistic of their chances to beat the Titans and even upbeat that they can do it easily since the Garrison easily triumphed against a single Titan. His optimism may be misplaced and misguided, and the rest of the squad knows this, but it helps to breath some happiness into the squad and is as such welcomed by his squad mates.
