Name: Daschiel “Dash” Grissom
Age: 15
Cadet Graduate Rank: 3
Appearance: Raven black hair, that he keeps relatively short on the sides, but a little grown out on top that he slicks back. His mother always styled it that way. Its more work than he prefers but its another thing he can do to try and maintain some of the normalcy from before the fall of the walls and his enlistment. 5’11, athletic lean build, he was a chubbier child but came into his body as he grew. The extra weight stretched out proportionate to his height. His strong brow, hangs ever so slightly above his eyes that make them average in size with a slight squint, however they are the most noticeable thing about him when light illuminates his hazel irises. He develops a furl on his brow often when he is in deep thought…which is almost all the time. His nose is a slim divider of his faces symmetry and is almost like an arrow to his mouth. A slight underbite to his lips can be attributed to a strong and square jaw that is a bit elongated creating a more mature look than his age would imply. Since joining the cadets it would be rare to see him out of his uniform. Since joining the Survey corps he has accented his uniform with the standard issue green cloak and hood, but also a green bandana which was made from an evenly cut strip of cloth cut from his issued cloak which makes it shorter in length than when issued. He almost got in trouble for the accessory but was able to convince the C.O. it was an attempt to combat dust and debris from effecting his vision or breathing when riding a horse during assignments or maneuvering through the air with his omnidirectional equipment.

Personality: Dash likes to think he is a amiable person, but his personality reflects his natural abilities. He is constantly observing, and analyzing but amongst people it can make socializing kind of difficult. In a word, he’s neurotic. He enjoys interaction amongst his fellow cadets but he is always looking for the correct or most beneficial course of action amongst them all which generally just makes it awkward and worse at times portrays him as unauthentic in his compassion for others, which couldn’t be more untrue.

History: 
The Grissom family lived in the Mitras district. Colin, Dash’s father was a merchant who often traveled to sell his wares. Many men worked for Dash’s father and when they came of age so did his two older brothers, David and Dolph. Dash was young and fairly uninterested in his fathers work. His brothers mostly teased him about it saying he was the runt of the litter which at the time he was, but also that he wouldn’t be able to join the family business even when the time did come. Dash’s mother, Elara, would often admonish them saying that Dash’s future may just be brighter but also that they should only hope that Dash’s disinterest remained or else in time they would be answering to him within the family business. Dash only showed a disinterest in the business and did not idolize his father as his brothers did because he was not informed at all of it’s ongoings. He knows what he was told but in truth had no idea what his father actually did, or what his “wares” even were. In hindsight was it his place to even be curious? He was well fed and provided for and encouraged to explore any endeavor he fancied.
Dash’s father and brothers were slated to go on a long trip to provide support to refugee’s in some of the other districts. He listened to the whispsers of the adults around him, their disbelief in the titan attacks, or the blatant ignorance of those effected simply due to their unfortunate residence amongst the other walls. Elara decided she would help herself by providing refuge to a family while the men,excluding Dash, were away on their good will trip.
The “family” that joined them in their home was once a large farming family, topping out at 7 members. The father had worked for his father many times in the past, but out of that 7 only the mother and their youngest daughter joined the mirroring remnants of his own. Dash was astute however and he could immediately detect the difference. Dash and his mother expected the rest of their family to return. Their visitors exhibited no such expectations, not even hope.
Dash became as friendly as he could to the girl of about his same age now living with them, but she was variably introspective, and rightfully so. There were good days and bad days. His mother’s attempt with her mother yielded the same results.
A few years later the solitary return of his brother David thinned the divide between the two family’s fortune. David would barely speak upon his return and was escorted to the family home by the Military police. His mother was informed that their father and her middle child Dolph were missing. Before becoming a recluse to his room in their home, in their father's house, David provided one message to Dash and Dash alone. In staggered words he exclaimed, “Father said he would protect us. He said he had to stay for Dolph, that he would protect Dolph until he could recover. He said for me not to try and comeback for him, not to send any of our men back for him.” Dash interrupted his brother, “For them, David.” David’s eyes went wide and his mouth dropped with a surprised awe. He hesitated with his next words, “So maybe thats why, little brother, he said you and only you could be the one to bring them home.”
David pushed Dash out of his room shortly after, and did not repeat what he said to anyone including Dash ever again. A year past this way and while their newly adopted family that somehow grew closer to them due to now shared tragedy got a little better, David’s condition just deteriorated. 
Dash developed a sense of purpose in this time, however in secret from his mother who would have surely tried to talk him out of his intentions. The only person he shared his brothers proclamation with was his now best friend Amelia, the young girl who he had now experienced so much with. He devised a plan to leave and join the Military and the scout regiment to find his brother and father, as he was informed only he could. He was relying on Amelia to explain to their mothers after he was already gone. She didn’t want him to go however, so she foiled his plot by informing his mother the night before he planned to depart. His mother had packed the things that she wanted him to take and waited for him outside the house. She hugged him firmly and kissed him on the forehead. Crying she bestowed her faith within him, faith he did not expect, and ordered to him, “Bring them back, pup, bring them back.” 

Offensive Skill: 7/10
Defensive Skill: 8/10
Strategic Skill: 10/10
Teamwork: 6/10

Weaknesses: With the ability to think thoroughly and analytically he can hash out effective means strategies on the fly, but sometimes he over thinks creating hesitation so in battle situations this could be a crippling fault. 

Skills Unique to Your Character: Titanshifter, Technology Buff (He’s very astute to the inner working of machines. Been looking for a way to improve upon the omnidirectional equipment ever since he received his own set, currently no results.)

Titan: Dash’s titan form is 15 meters, most of his human features remain prominent but warped within a more ferocious and predatory version. His hair is now completely gone on the sides of his head and only a thick slick strip of his hair runs flat down the middle like a stylish mohawk being wider at the front of his cranium and sliming to a point at the end. His pronounced brow becomes a bit more primitive and where his eyebrows were bone protrudes horizontally. His eyes glow a deep and haunting amber, much how they do in his human form but as if a light was permanently placed within them.The nose mirrors his human form but scrunches when his mouth is opened due to its wide and seemingly profound gait.His teeth mostly sharp, especially his canines, are visible to where they meet the hinge of his jaw. Skin is there when he first titanshifts but is ripped open with the first opening of his mouth. His chin like his eyebrows are coated in bone and as well as his elbows and knees further down which are both slightly elongated creating a bit of a sharpness and point to them. The rest of him maintains a human like appearance as much as a Titan can.
