Summer In Trost
an attack on titan slice of life au
It's June. The air is warm, the sun is bright, and this little Oregon town wakes up for three months and three months only. The sea, usually cold and unforgiving, sees people at it's beaches at the first sign of a hot day. To the tourists, it's just another small beach town, but to the people who call it home, the air hangs heavy with change. Although the buildings cling to same paint, the roads twist and turn the same ways, and the waves crash against the same shore, there is change. Maybe not in this small, quirky town, but the people sure do, change and grow and blossom.
Graduation comes and goes, and suddenly, the same handful of kids in this small town became strangers overnight. Some stayed true to their roots, some left for different paths, but the summer sun brought them all home every year without fail. To their childhood homes, to their childhood friends, the same handful of school kids undoubtedly staying familiar in such a small town... whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing was entirely subjective.
Life stops for no one, but this summer? Oh, this summer... what happens when everyone comes home to Trost?

What is this?
Summer In Trost is, well, as stated above, an Attack on Titan alternate universe roleplay. This setting takes place in modern times, in a quaint little town in Oregon, just a twenty minute drive from the West coast. Shiganshina is inland by a handful of long hours. Trost has just a population of just under two thousand, which means one high school to graduate from, only a handful of students to graduate with.. one bar, one store - yeah, there's no way to navigate without being noticed by someone from your past. This roleplay takes place a full year after they graduate high school; making the (104th Cadet graduates) aged eighteen-nineteen right now, one year. Some stayed to work in the mostly family owned businesses in Trost, even fewer were able to wiggle away from the small town trap with college, some just.. ran away because they couldn't stand staying. But this summer, they've all come back for some reason or the next.
This roleplay is loosely based off canon. Nobody died here (at least, not yet), which gives us far more characters to use. The veterans from the canonverse are aged about four years older than Eren and the rest of his class year, in their early and mid twenties. Since this roleplay is only loosely based off canon, it's extremely ship friendly, so long as everyone can get along about it. We are essentially just taking the canon characters and plopping them into a softer, modern setting, where we can pretend nobody got eaten (sob).
This will also be spoiler friendly. You are not required to be caught up on canon knowledge, but it may be discussed and there may be spoilers even if we're not doing the canon verse.
Where do I come in?
You will pick your favorite character from the series, and smack 'em into our time. This will be the fun part, because this is where you can afford to get a little creative with your character. How do you think they would dress? What music would they listen to? What life would they lead? These modern factors are all up to you, while staying true to the character, of course. Side characters may have more wiggle room in this aspect, but it's up to you how you want to translate your character's past into their modern life. Since there are no titans in this roleplay, a lot of titan-related trauma will have to translated into something less than fifteen feet tall with a taste for human blood.
Stir drama, create romances, live moments.
Rules
Respect each other, play nice. What's fun about this roleplay is that it's not only our favorite characters, but OUR interpretation thrown in as well. Not everyone is going to see the character the same as you may have. If you want a certain relationship dynamic between the character you chose and someone else's, then message them.
That being said, this roleplay is ship friendly, to any ships. However, if someone isn't interested in roleplaying that ship with you, then you can't force them. Alternatively, if you don't have a certain ship and other people are roleplaying it, please respect that they're also having fun and don't ruin it.
This roleplay is pretty freeform, which means we write the plot as we go. We will start as an unofficial get together at the beach to party, and then move from there. This is to encourage us to write what we want and not be conformed to any one plotline. The only real plot here is to have fun.
Post expectancy is at least twice a week, if you go inactive, your character will open up for someone else to play.
One character per player as of right now to allow everyone a chance to play a character, then I may consider opening up for seconds.
I know it may be silly, but having a little bio would be nice, even though these characters are not original to us. We know who Eren is, who Mikasa is, in the canonverse, but who are they here? How do YOU want to play them? Remember to stay as TRUE TO THE CHARACTER as you can.
Realistic face claim!
(Again, silly, I know, but pick someone real who looks like your fave and consider it a live action. Realistic pictures please, we know what they look like in anime.)
Character Name: Who are you playing?
Age: The 104th is about nineteen, the veterans are about twenty-four.
Sexuality: Canon with a little bit of flexibility.
Ships: Do you have any particular ships you'd like with your character?
Appearance: We know what they look like, but how do they dress? What is their style? Are they well kept here, or a little rugged?
Personality: Again, we know Eren is a tempered. Mikasa is aloof. Armin is smart. But give them a little depth and flexibility, how is YOUR Armin? How is YOUR Mikasa? Have fun with your headcanons, just don't deter too far away from the actual character.
Hobbies: What kind of modern hobbies do they have, if any?
Career: Are they staying in Trost for the good ol' family business, are they off to college, or did they just run away after graduation!
History: Again, there's only so much flexibility here. Carla was eaten by a titan, so perhaps she passed in a car accident. Maybe she didn't pass at all, with no titans around. Side characters will have a little more flexibility in this regard, again, try not to deter too far from canon. Get inspiration from the canon history and translate it to our world. Make sure to include why they've gone home for the summer, too.
Theme song: Not necessary, just fun. Feel free to skip if you'd like.
TAKEN CHARACTERS
- characters can only be held for a day, if no character sheet is posted it will be up for grabs again-
