The two other cadets for the Emil/Lauren team. [hider=Russell Heisner] [centre][h1][color=1b1464]Russell Heisner[/color][/h1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/JtoCS3A.jpg[/img] [/centre] [color=1b1464][b]Nickname:[/b][/color] 'Rusty' [color=1b1464][b]Age:[/b][/color] 19 [color=1b1464][b]Height:[/b][/color] 6' 3" [color=1b1464][b]Weight:[/b][/color] 230 lbs [color=1b1464][b]Short Bio:[/b][/color] Heralding from the northern regions within Wall Maria, Russell and his family had plenty of time to evacuate after the breach of Maria. Like many from the largely farming communities from which they originated they sound found that their skills were in large surplus. Most of the refugees were put into the fields for manual labour, regardless of skill or knowledge and there was no space for a family who had lost everything to rebuild their life on a new farmstead. His parents were both sent out to 'take back Maria', the disastrous expedition that's only success was to allow those who remained to have a decent meal once a day. Left with his sister, only a year younger than himself, and no work to support them, Russell enrolled in the cadets to earn a steady pay check of which all he sent back to his sister, Margaret. He always had a tough body from years working in the fields and it served him well in the hand to hand combat training and the endurance exercises but he struggled with the gear to begin with and even now is a little slow in its use even if, technically at least, he's an accomplished user of the device now. [color=1b1464][b]Personality:[/b][/color] No-nonsense, serious and desperate to live but not a coward - he just hasn't given up yet.

[color=f49ac2][b]Age:[/b][/color] 15 [color=f49ac2][b]Height:[/b][/color] 5' 4" [color=f49ac2][b]Weight:[/b][/color] 115 lbs [color=f49ac2][b]Short Bio:[/b][/color] From Orvud District and a relatively wealthy family, Helen is an unusual specimen in the cadets. Her family are merchants but her father, the current head of the family company, served in the Military Police from where he made his connections (and dubiously makes a great deal of his business) decreed that all of his offspring should have some experience of a soldier's life. This was not through any sense of duty, he merely felt that the harsh training would instil some backbone into his children who enjoyed a very plush an easy life, on the back of his success. Helen hated the cadets. She had never had to work hard in her life, especially not physically, but she worked hard and refused to admit defeat, eventually surviving the process of turning her into a soldier. Slight of build but fast and quick-witted, she excelled in obstacle courses and the use of the gear although she struggled with complex manoeuvres and has no strength to speak of. [color=f49ac2][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Stubborn when her back is against the wall but otherwise easygoing to the point of being lazy. Doesn't like to get her hands, or any part of her for that matter, dirty, if she can help it.

[hider=Jayden Weber] [centre][h1][color=a2d39c]Jayden Weber[/color][/h1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fpMyV5r.png[/img] [/centre] [color=a2d39c][b]Nickname:[/b][/color] Jay [color=a2d39c][b]Age:[/b][/color] 18 [color=a2d39c][b]Height:[/b][/color] 5' 11" [color=a2d39c][b]Weight:[/b][/color] 180 lbs [color=a2d39c][b]Short Bio:[/b][/color] Jay speaks little of his life before the cadets and is often prickly when pressed. The little he has revealed is of his parents, weavers working in Shiganshina in the shadow of Wall Maria, who were killed in the town's fall. Their house was near the gate which the Colossal Titan breached and so there was no chance for them to escape, the initial blast or the ensuing Titan attack ending their lives. Jay escaped, having been away from home at the time and escaped the disaster. He spent the following years as a cutpurse and a thug, travelling around various towns within Wall Rose before being picked up by a recruiter drumming up support for the cadets, enticed as he was by the promise of a steady pay cheque. [color=a2d39c][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Confrontational and blunt, Jay makes few friends. He's loyal to those around him but does not work well in a team and comes across as rude and ready for a scrap.

As a result he was often bullied and sought out protectors rather than friends although they often came in the same form. Away from Shiganshina when the attack happened, Greg lost his aunt whom he had been staying with but had enough inheritance to manage for a time without too much struggle. He joined the cadets since he had few other skills he could use and soon found he had some ability with the Gear. During the mountain hike he twisted his ankle and was unable to escape the avalanche. Lauren's intervention saved his life, her injury a direct result of his own and he still feels that he is in her debt. [color=a36209][b]Personality:[/b][/color] An eternal optimist and desperate to befriend everyone around him, Greg is a gentle person with little to no rage or anger within him. He does not hate Titans but choose to fight because of the threat they pose to others.

Due to the significant length of the line of succession she was expected to inherit nothing and so needed to find a career for herself. The usual solution for young men and women in her position was to push them into the cadets and then use connections to find them a place within the Military Police, regardless of their end of training rankings thanks to family connections. Fleur went as expected and joined the cadets but found the training, the will to fight of those around them and the joy of being something actually important of more interest than the political games of the rich families in the capital. Spurning her parents' attempts to move her into the Military Police, she graduated and plans to join one of the other divisions on her own merit. [color=8882be][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Determined to make something of herself and prove she isn't just another girl from a rich family, Fleur is focused on her goal of advancing and will fight as hard as any to survive. Although the hatred her fellows bear towards the Titans is not her own she has taken the emotion to heart and has assumed their dreams to retake Wall Maria.
