@Sola Its been a rough year. Lost people that I loved, so I became a recluse. I’m glad y’all are sticking together though ❤️
My condolences, then. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and she continues to refuse chemo despite my grandfather's wishes (who we also almost lost while he was in the hospital a few years ago). Plus, their two yorkies that I had grown up with had died (one to natural causes and the other was put down), so I can understand a little bit of the pain.
@Sola Thanks my sweet Tannochan. How are y’all doing with the rp?
We're proceeding along nicely, I think. We've already have had one death since I employ a policy of a month of inactivity (as in no response either OOC or IC) is liable to have your character killed off in any RP where death is a possibility. As of right now, we're just getting to the Schulz part of the story, and @LordVoldemort has made the horse face meme a reality.
As I've said in the discord, if anyone has interest in making cadet NPCs, please tell me. They don't need to be finished right away, but if I could have an idea on who we're bringing in to figure out things like cabin arrangements it would be appreciated.
Agnes stands around 5'1”, making her one of the shorter cadets. Her physique is not brawny by any means, so with one look at Agnes you see a girl who should be working in a library or the garrison archives rather than being a front-line soldier. Her dark brown hair is often kept in pigtails with a band sitting above her bangs. She often can be seen with a pair of glasses, due to her impaired vision, which only continues to validate her supposedly bookish appearance.
Biography
Agnes Rosenthal is the daughter of Elsbeth Brühl, a well-acknowledged member of the Survey Corps. Her father, David Rosenthal, is one of the finest physicians and surgeons in the city of Trost. It was with their prestige and dedication that they cultivated a girl whom at a young age was inspired by critical thinking and collective duty.
Agnes's childhood was fairly basic – she was a bookish girl with few friends and loving parents, but eventually something happened to make her want to apply her intellect to the field of military study. Something that, in the world she lived in, wasn't all that uncommon. After years of dutiful service, one day Agnes learned that her mother was probably never coming home and that her disappearance would never be investigated. A few months later, to the surprise of her father and her brothers, Agnes found herself signing up for military service. It was a decision she took much thought in, but at the end of the day the use of someone of her wit and mindfulness would certainly be valuable in the never-ending war against the titans. Or at least that was her line of thought.
Personality
Agnes is a quiet, intelligent, and non-confrontational woman. For the majority of her life she's been surrounded with an astute work ethic, but at the same time she took more interest in books rather than social activities outside from her home in the streets of Trost. As a result, Agnes has a keen knowledge in the nature of medical procedures, in-depth knowledge of Trost's history, and with theoretical study. This can make her seen as the least suited for the life of a cadet (and more of a doctor or scholar), but Agnes refuses the notion that she does not belong. In fact, if there is one thing she is defiant and stubborn about is with her role as a cadet and future member of the Survey Corps. Some drill instructors might attempt to break Agnes down so she'll “surrender” to leaving the military to serve as a civilian doctor or librarian, but they will find themselves pleasantly surprised by the nerve that Agnes has despite her initially appearing softspoken and meek. Perhaps it is a trait she shares with her mother.
But how far can that sheer belief take Agnes? If she succeeds as a cadet, can she truly become good enough to live up to her mother's example?

May have another NPC coming up within a few days, or tomorrow.

As long as you can juggle all the characters you make, then there shouldn't be any issue. Though I would give others a chance to make NPCs after you make this one for whenever Trost comes.

His social skills with people can be limited, but he still has friends in all sorts of places. He loves booze and games, but he never forgets his duty. He is always on guard, no matter the situation.

I have several issues with this character sheet.
First and foremost, this roleplay is focusing on a group of kids that survived Shiganshina and the downfall of Wall Maria, who later join the Cadets and eventually join the Survey Corps after Trost happens. As Eric is not only thirty-two years old, but already a graduated member of the Garrison, you would be hard pressed to fit in the character you made. Secondly, Eric is abnormally tall. Whilst we already have tall characters and I personally wouldn't mind another one, the fact that he is 6'10'' in a psuedo-medieval setting bothers me. Finding a 6'10'' person in a medieval-esque setting (even with all the guns and fancy titan-slaying gear) is just as likely as finding a 7' Japanese kid--something I've seen previously on this site.
As for the biography, I know the sheet is lax when it comes to length, but that isn't much of a backstory at all. Additionally, the first sentence of it is a personality trait rather than something to do with his biography. The same goes for the personality; it is rather bland. You keep addressing that Eric is "cold and caculating," but you never mentioned why he is like this. What caused him to act so coldly? Also, the "always knows when to strike and how to do it" segment sounds undeniably like godmodding. Even if the nape is always the killing blow for any titan, no one knows when the time is to strike 100% of the time.
Finally, I need to address the statistics section. Eric has 24 strength, and while the sheet says you can distribute as desired, that's also an abnormal number. The average person has probably around 10 or so in each statistic (outside gear, since that's from military training), and 24 strength is an extreme--too extreme. As for his 0 in teamwork, this is partly my fault as I haven't edited the CS in sometime. I have decided that everyone needs at least one point in each stat, so it would need to be changed just like the 24 Eric has in strength.
In addition to the multiple spelling and/or grammar errors in the sheet, I'll have to respectfully decline Eric.
<Snipped quote by Sola> And Agnes once I finish her, ye?
I intended to keep the NPCs out of the grilling (they'll be grilled in the background to save time), though if you'd like Agnes to be grilled, I suppose we can do something for her.
