This is a reboot of the well loved Attack on Titan series. Some characters from the mainstream series will be absent, notably Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert. The reason for this is to allow this RP to change the story of AoT, impossible with the main characters present. You have been warned.
One hundred years ago, giant monsters called Titans made their appearance on Earth. Virtually indestructible, they devoured humans without clear purpose, showing no compassion or remorse. In response to this threat, the remnants of mankind hid behind the Walls, a series of mysterious structures whose origin is largely unknown. The three fortifications towered above the attacking monstrosities and could not be pierced by them. Much of mankind lived behind Wall Maria, the outer wall, followed by the middle Wall Rose, and finally the innermost Wall Sina, where the King and the more wealthy citizens made their homes. This peaceful life continued for a century, most citizens never even seeing a Titan. The highly specialized military defended the walls and carried out operations trying to reclaim lands beyond Wall Maria. This peace was shattered when two abnormal titans, the Colossal (200 feet tall with no skin covering it's muscles) and the Armored (a normal-sized Titan whose body was covered in thick natural plates of skin and bone), breached the outer wall of the Shinganshina district, swiftly followed by the inner wall. There were no survivors. The lands between walls Rose and Maria were abandoned, causing an influx of pestilence and famine behind Rose while those left behind were devoured. Humanity now lives in constant fear of another attack from the two abnormals and the consequences. Losing Rose could mean more than just more land losses. More refugees would pour behind the limited protection of Wall Sina. Already scarce resources would be spent in a matter of days. The human population would drop another vast percentage. Humanity would be doomed. It is our job to make sure that does not happen. We are the 104th Trainees Squad. We will fight to the last man for our fallen brethren, fight to secure Wall Rose, fight to reclaim Wall Maria, and fight...
To take back our birthright!
Welcome to AoT: Evolution! As the Pre-intro may suggest, this is a reboot of Attack on Titan, with virtually the same story as the original. However, as the intro may suggest, the Shinganshina survivors (Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert) didn't survive the second time around. This, however, is the only major change. Annie, Reiner, and Bertolt are still traitors and Titan Shifters. We'll still meet Ymir and the Beast Titan. Overall, it's simply a matter of making the story our own instead of living in the sharp of Eren's deeds.
For the Uninitiated
Titans
Titans are large, humanoid (in fact, they look very much like large human males), man-eating monsters. The tallest normal Titans are about 15 meters in height, but size does vary. They exclusively eat humans, but do not require sustenance of any kind, ignoring any other sources of food. They are largely inactive and sluggish at night, indicating a reliance on sunlight. The general appearance of Titans is that of an emaciated and/or potbellied human male. Titan Shifters are humans with the ability to turn into Titans. The transformed states vary, and have some of the more unique Titan bodies, as well as unique and mysterious abilities (the Colossal with unprecedented size and boiling steam, the Armored with strong plates protecting it). Generally they are more physically fit than normal Titans, and are quite adept at killing their normal brothers. Both breeds have an advanced healing factor, the only way to kill any of them being a weak spot on the back of the neck. The healing is so powerful that lost limbs can be regenerated, even in human form (in the case of Shifters). It is possible for a Titan to become a Titan Shifter by eating another Titan Shifter. The origins of the Titans and the Titan Shifters are mysterious. It is stated that Titans were originally humans, and the Beast Titan was even capable of turning a village of humans into Titans. Shifters are even more mysterious, but a serum that was injected into Eren Yeager is thought to be what allows people to change freely. Both Titans and Shifters are nearly genderless, showing no genitalia (the first female Titan only displayed breasts, the only sign that there was a separate gender).

The Military
The military is divided into three separate branches:
- The Garrison, which guards the wall from Titan attacks. The Garrison insignia, which is branded onto the shoulders of uniforms, is that of two roses. Garrison troops man the great number of cannons atop the walls, as well as having a number of troops skilled with Vertical Movement Gear (alternatively known as 3D Maneuvering Gear) ready to fight Titans on the inside of the wall. Garrison troops are positioned inside border towns like Shinganshina, where high concentrations of people distract Titans, as small portions of the vast wall are much easier to defend. The Garrison has the largest number of troops, totaling at 30,000. The trainees are included in this number. Only about 10,000 are readily available though.
- The Scout Regiment, which explores beyond the wall and attempts to reclaim land for humanity, actively battles Titans. Due to the danger, most cadets avoid the Scouts. However, despite their numbers only totaling up to a few hundred, they have the best trained troops in the entire military. Their insignia is that of two crossed wings, one white, one blue.
- The Military Police, which maintains discipline throughout the walls, accepts only the best and brightest cadets and numbers at about 5,000 in potential manpower. They generally do not wear VMG, and when they do it is different from standard gear. Rather than blades they carry rifles or pistols. They act as the main police force within the walls and act as the King's guard. They are known to be lazy, corrupt, and abusive, most never seeing any Titans. Their insignia is a Unicorn.
Since most conventional weapons do not work against Titans, the military has adapted it's strategies. Most standard personnel are equipped with VMG, allowing them to move swiftly over and around Titans, up walls, and across great distances through the use of gas propulsion and retractable grappling cables. For combat, soldiers use large swords. Blade refills are stored in compartments next to the gas containers. Blades can be thrown from the hilts, allowing for risky mid-range attacks. Together, a Titan's weak spot can be spotted and attacked with mixed success. Cannons are used for defence of the walls, which can blown off the heads of Titans and prove to slow them down so they can he killed. For personnel control, the MP uses rifles and, in the case of their VMG users, rapidly reloadable pistols.

The Plot
As a reboot of the series, we start at the very beginning, in the aftermath of the Maria breach. We'll be cadets in the 104th Trainees Squad, hailing from a number of areas. We may be from behind the safety of the inner walls, from the harsh but relatively safe north, or refugees from the lands between Maria and Rose. Some of us will be Titan Shifters (there is a set cap on how many players in the grand group total can be Shifters). All of us will be fighting against the Titans.
Character Skeleton
Name:
Appearance: (may use images, writing or both. No using images of major characters still involved, such as Reiner, Annie, Bertolt, Jean, or Connie.)
Titan Form: (only written description, and only for those accepted few.)
Personality: (geeky, brutish, cold, cunning, etc.)
Preferred Military Branch: (Garrison, MP, Survey Corps)
Bio: (origins, reason for joining the military, etc. go here.)
Other IMPORTANT Stuff
There will be a max of 7 characters. This is is an extremely malleable rule. If there is extensive interest in this RP after 7 characters, more will be accepted and introduced later in the series. As well, with more interest, more Shifter positions will be added. Relationships are allowed. We take an oath to protect humanity, not to remain celibate. All sexual orientations allowed, but keep sex fade.to.black and under control, as well as make sure you have another player's consent (unless you're doing it with your own NPCs). No controlling other characters. If you find an issue with someone's behavior, PM me for anonymity and it will be dealt with one way or another. I acknowledge that there is another AoT roleplay, but am unaware of its status. I do not to intend to divert attention away from it. No killing each other off. Feel free to butcher NPCs and Titans, but player characters are off limits. Anyone posting after the 7th CS post, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING UNTIL YOU ARE ACCEPTED. Thank you.
