I'll have my post up tomorrow once I'm finally at home. I'm awaiting approval on Mateo's CS for the moment, so I'm a bit worn out for posting. Until then, here's a picture of me blending into the environment...
@LetMeDoStuff I'm glad you look so peppy and upbeat. I'm also happy you feel better.
I don't so much feel better, but I'm just clearing myself from care because either way, I'm not walking, so it makes no difference to me. But eh, what can I do, I have 15 exams left to do, I haven't got time to be lazy and in hospital.
@LetMeDoStuff Take your time. We know you're busy, and on top of that, you also have medical problems. I'm sure I speak for the rest of us when I say we're perfectly fine with waiting for you to reply.
@LetMeDoStuff Absolutely no worries. Llama is out for a week so I don't believe any of us are too pressed about posts for the moment. Just get to feeling better. That's the important thing here.
Aha! My first of a few characters I have in mind. I placed the bio in a hider not because it's excessively long or anything but just because I feel it looks nicer. Let me know what you think @Wolverbells!

Lukas was born in the Karanese District on the Eastern edge of Wall Rose. 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 joined the military. A 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.
Personality: 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.
"The key to survival is teamwork, and with me you're going to be involved in a lot of that."

Personality Despite being one of the more recognised and respected soldier's amongst the Scouting Legion, Mateo isn't as strict off-duty as some might expect. His upbringing and experience with travelling has left him to be quite a sociable individual, which strengthens the bonds he has with those who he commands. Whereas the advantages of building these relationships improves the performance of fighting and working as one squad, it can also bring personal sorrow when it comes to the death of any of his own comrades. Mateo has been used to the sight of death since the start of his service, but the personal losses take their tolls in privacy. Seeing a commanding officer breaking down is noted as one of the more horrific sights in any combat situation, so controlling his emotions is a skill he's been forced to take.
Mateo can be focused, almost completely, when being put upon tasks. Having partaken in some of the more exclusive and classified operations the Survey Corps have slipped under the noses of the public, the elite has found himself to understand all the possible dangers that lurk outside the walls and all the anomalies that they might encounter. Towards the younger and newer soldiers, he can seem quite protective, but also disciplinary towards their progress. Every soldier counts, so he sets his mind to seeing them all through each mission. Time and time again, the spirit of his work ethic has bagged him a great reputation, right up until his temporary discharge, throughout the multiple branches. However, since his temporary discharge, his copings as a leader have somewhat diminished, making him almost dependent on the team rather than his own decision making.
Background Mateo was born many years after his older brother was, his mother being quite old and weak to look after him. Because of this, both Mateo and his brother Johan forged a strong brotherly bond that was almost impossible to break. The two were fantastic as a duo, always helping one another around the farm as both Johan and himself learnt to take care of their elders with success and dignity. As they grew up, however, the first signs of separation and conflict were afoot when Mateo decided what he wanted as a career. Every month, an expedition of saddled soldiers would ride past their home, sometimes stopping to see how they were and tell tales of their stories. The young boy was almost instantly intrigued and captured in the wonders of the walls and their commitment to protecting it. It filled him with courage and the lust for service, which easily conflicted Johan's opinions. Through the fear of losing his younger brother, Johan almost halted the dreams of Mateo in order to protect him from any harm; however, that didn't stop the boy from making his way come true. Mateo ran away, like any boy would do, shortly after his Mother's death, where he fled to the walls in seek for a purpose in life. No longer did he want to wait for the harvest to flourish, that was his brother's bidding to commit to.
The years passed, and through his training years, he excelled in the arts of ODM maneuverability and balance. This became his reason for success, and acted as a catalyst for his uprising. Ranking an impressive status of #4 in his training programme, he quickly denied the opportunity to serve in the Military Police in order to pursue his original and initial purpose for enlisting in the first place. Soon enough, he flew into the ranks of the Scouting Legion, eager to get the experience required to excel through life.
Mateo served an impressive deal of expeditions and side-jobs during his service, building a name for himself in defending the flanks of the expeditionary formation. After a misconception with the commander at the time, his superior could never pronounce the surname of Julius properly when reading it out on paper, causing him to shorten it to 'Jutt'. The reasons for this decision were strictly unknown, but it instantly stuck as a nickname, almost always replacing his initial surname. Eventually, as time passed onwards, Mateo was called up by his CO to partake in several small-scale reconnaissance operations involving scouting regions that weren't encountered on major expeditions. Eventually forging his way into a specialised Squad, he took part in some more dangerous operations, involving watching Titan groupings and Herds moving along the hills of the horizon. The squad were good, great even, with their reputation of doing the bidding of whatever officer wished. However, the glory was short-lived, and after a horrific decision making from Mateo and two of his fellow comrades, most of the Squad weren't to return, resulting in a temporary discharge. Shameful and weakening as it was, he took the two years off to return to his hometown, seeking shelter and a place to stay.
His brother was more than happy to see him alive, but was still against his decision, having only seen him for the first time in years. The nephew that Mateo had left behind was now more mature, grown up and active as a child. Mateo took the time to get back into the gears of looking after the nephew, helping him grow up the way that Johan had shown him. Forging a strong relationship with him, he mused as to why his older brother had chosen his spouse's surname after their marriage. It was later revealed that the change was due to the shame that Mateo had brought unto the family, causing many family disputes over the months he spent living there. During his final year, Mateo was tasked with making money in a large-scale trading run across the entire wall's perimeter. Originally disagreeing to it, a violent clash between Mateo and his brother forced him to take Grant and leave for the trading route in fear that the violence may also be inflicted across to Grant. The two continued their journey in almost solitary, not hearing a single word from the family back at home.
It was during their last district on the tour where Mateo witnessed the Colossal Titan breach the walls, catching him off guard quicker than anything had ever done before. Even with the experience he had, the sight was quite terrifying, but the panic had almost neglected any signs of finding Grant. With panic, he searched the streets in sheer worry of losing his only loving member of his family. Before long, he was ushered out of the way, towards the gates, where he hoped to link up with his nephew as soon as he could. Luckily, the two managed to briefly meet at Wall Rose's safety, where they lived together for a short amount of time. Out of thin air, Mateo was once again called up for service earlier than expected, being dragged back into the uniform he was punished from wearing once before.
The years during Grant's training were mostly kept quiet for Mateo. He was once again enlisted to the expeditions, and became a supporting leader for several squads at a time. His time of service and valour eventually granted him the honours of becoming a Lance Corporal, where he would gain command of small groups himself, usually those who were fresh out of training. This was where he excelled further, and would continue onwards to produce some great soldiers again and again, until the time he would once again reunite with the family member he was split from in Trost.

These are the rest of the members of Lukas Greisers squad in the Garrison at Trost, Squad 9 (Patent Pending).
Squad 9 Squad 9 is one of the more dependable Squads of the Garrison stationed within Trost, with a high level of teamwork and a track record of being frequently used to cover the entrance and exit of the Survey Corps from the district along with a handful of assists under their belt with the help of other more experienced Squads, Squad 9 is considered to be one of the elite within Trost. They are listed under the plan for if the Colossal Titan appears in the district as an interchangeable squad, experienced enough to help lead the desperate defense that will take place in the Vanguard and to help boost morale of the soldiers stationed there, or elite enough to be placed in the Rear Guard to catch any Titans that slip past the first two lines.

Hailing from a town just outside of and to the South of the District of Stohess, Evi was born the only child to her two parents Elizabeth and Trevor Edwards. 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, neither of their scores 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.
Personality: 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. Stats:

Born to parents Samuel and Erika Flynt in the same town as Evi Edwards, Martin grew up an easy life with just one younger brother. 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.
Personality: 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. Stats:

Born to a concubine of a rather rich merchant in the District of Yarckel located on the Western edge of Wall Sina, Fathi grew up with all his expenses paid for by an unknown father and with an education that only the rich of the inner wall could truly afford. 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.
Personality: 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.
Hey guys, if y'all come up with NPC's, please PM them to QT or myself, and then post them on the Character Tab. For those who I've already spoken with, feel free to post them now.
If I may say something, wouldn't it be wise for the GMs to organize the characters into two categories, PC and NPC, and then alphabetically order the lists? It might be also just as wise to make separate lists for living and deceased character, as well link to the post of the character so it is easy to track down a certain person.
You could use the 0th post in the CS tab for the index.
