[b]Name:[/b] Silas Marks

[b]Age:[/b] 15

[b]Appearance:[/b] Silas is built small. He has fairly narrow shoulders, a lean torso, and long legs. At 5' 7”, he isn't real tall, making everything proportionate. Although small in stature, he still has a layer of lean muscle on his frame. His short, light brown hair maintains a care-free style. Like everything else, he has a lean face with soft, almost feminine features. Silas' forest green eyes are complemented by thick eyelashes. A small scar, about an inch long, is faintly visible next to his right eye. Besides that, his light skin is virtually unmarked.

[b]Personality:[/b] Although he has a friendly, charming demeanor, Silas tends to shy away from groups of people. He tries to keep a distance from others, not because he is anti-social or anything, but because he is scared to have friends that will most likely be killed right in front of him. Despite his efforts, he can't help but enjoy the company of others. He forms strong bonds very quickly. Actually, he's really quite gullible. 
He is often quick to act out on emotion. He is protective and maybe even a little possessive of his comrades. Early in his enlistment, Silas was often caught in fights. His outstanding performance in a select few fields, such as his ability with his Maneuver Gear, kept him from being kicked out, though just barely. 
Many of his friends call him “Silly”, though Silas seems to have mixed feeling about the nickname.

[b]History:[/b] Silas grew up with having a relatively normal life. He lived with his mother and brother inside of wall Rose. Both his father and eldest brother were in the Survey Corps, though both were killed when wall Rose was breached a few years ago. Although he was still very young, Silas wanted nothing more then to protect what was left of his family. He grew up with a strong sense of responsibility. 
Silas has no doubts when he decided to enlist. However, his surviving sibling, Simon, was very disappointed when his younger brother made this decision. He said no person as kindhearted and gullible as Silas belonged in the Military. 
Though part of him agreed, Silas was convinced it was the only way he could really learn to protect anyone. Thoughts of his father and brother still kept a sense of unease in his mind, but he doubted they would ever go away. He would always second guess, but that's just how life works.
Simon disappeared a few days before his brother left for the trainee camp, leaving nothing but a note that simply read “good luck, Silly”.

[b]Offensive Skill:[/b] 8/10
[b]Defensive Skill:[/b] 6/10

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Silas is easy to manipulate. He is overly caring and protective, (almost) always putting others before himself. Although Silas means well, a person with bad intentions could easily persuade him into doing their ill biding. 

[b]Skills Unique to Your Character: [/b] Silas is very skilled with his 3D Maneuver Gear. His smaller size makes allows him to be very agile. During training, Silas scored at number two in this area, though he was bumped down to number nine when his other scores were added in.
