CHARACTER INFO
• Character Name: Eren Jaeger
• Character Age: 19
• Character Canon: Attack on Titan
• Canon Point: During the last conversation he has with Armin (because of weird time bullshit, this is shown at the very end of the series, but chronologically it will have happened before the big end fights).
• Character History: here
• Character Personality:
— Loyalty: Eren is extremely (and literally) ride or die for the people he loves. A huge part of his motivation for the Rumbling (where he wakes up millions of colossal titans and crushes the outside world and everyone in it) is to save his friends. It's not really about the location, it's about the people who he loves enough that he will give everything to save them. There's a downside to this as well (other than, you know, killing the whole world): he doesn't take into account what others want. His loyalty is absolute, but that isn't tied to the emotional response of other people. The only time Eren actively betrays his friends is ultimately to save them. It hurts him to do it (he confesses this to Armin, and also confesses that he got carried away when fighting Armin specifically), and he hates himself for all of his terrible decisions (he calls himself a "half-assed piece of shit" quoting Reiner). He takes betrayal very seriously: when he finds out that Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie are really the titans who broke down the wall, he says he wants them to die in the worst way possible and he seriously tries to attack Reiner more than once). Once he decides someone is one of his people, that's that on that, even if anyone else outside that circle is expendable.
— Loves very deeply: Tied into the loyalty thing, Eren loves people wholeheartedly. He genuinely cares so much about the people closest to him (Armin and Mikasa primarily). His whole initial reason for wanting to go outside the walls was Armin talking about the outside world from a book. It seemed impossible to him, but that wonder was infectious and it really shaped the rest of Eren's life. The very first time they fought titans (which was a complete disaster), Eren saved Armin without a second thought. He had previously just saved Armin from bullies, and Mikasa from traffickers. He would do anything for them, apparently including becoming an unforgivable monster and killing millions of people. He doesn't always know how to show how much he cares, getting wrapped up in himself and his own bullshit, but even when he's being awful to them it is never that he doesn't love them. He goes out of his way to tell his friend Historia about the Rumbling because he doesn't want the government to use her or turn her into a titan. He wants to keep her safe from that fate, so he risks telling her his plan. It's a terrible position to put her in (Historia is the queen by then, but it's complicatedtm), but he does it out of a desire to protect her because he cares about her deeply. He also tells his friends that they are free to fight him, that he will never take their freedom away even once he has the power to literally control what they do. That's a step he would never take; he loves them too much even after he's become a monster.
— Determined: Eren is never the fastest, strongest, or smartest. He doesn't get the top rank when the cadets graduate from training. But he almost never gives up. His determination drives him over and over again. We first see it when he joins the military at all, wanting to wipe out all titans. He's struggling with the ODM equipment, which requires extremely good balance. He falls over and over but he is so determined not to get kicked out that he practices until he can hold it. (As it turns out, his ODM gear was sabotaged, so the fact that he learned how to do this on faulty gear speaks to that determination.) Even missing limbs, he doesn't give up trying to fight titans. This leads to his first titan transformation, but it isn't something he consciously knew he could do. Even laying there maimed, he still fights to save Armin and pull him from a titan's mouth. His determination gets him through the initial shock and revulsion when he sees the future. He learns about the Rumbling because he can see the future via the Attack Titan's power and rejects it. But it's determination that eventually gets him to walk that unforgivable path to save his friends and punish the world for disappointing him.
— Dehumanises others: Ever since he was a kid, Eren has often thought of other people as less than. He thinks of people as livestock, caged in the walls and content to die that way without ever wanting to see what lies beyond them. He has no respect for that, for the people who condemn the Scouting Regiment for their excursions outside, people who think those efforts are pointless. When he was nine, he killed would-be traffickers to save Mikasa. These were brutal murders and he never once expressed remorse. When his dad freaked out at him about it, he said they were animals. He thought of so many people outside the walls as much the same; while he admits that people have the right to life, he separates himself from them so that he can commit mass murder. He also told Reiner and Bertholdt they weren't even human when he realised that they were the titans who had broken the walls, condemning them with his words and fighting against them fiercely (eventually he would be instrumental in Bertholdt's death). Eren is willing to kill people and to let people die for him with barely a second thought; only the people he has decided he cares about register as being worthy of his positive attention.
— Violent: Eren solves problems with violence repeatedly, from attacking bullies that were attacking Armin when they were very young, to literally killing the men who set out to traffic Mikasa and her mother, to getting in fights about basically everything with adults and children alike. He was yelling about killing titans constantly when he joined the military; while titans aren't human (haha just kidding! but they didn't know that then), it still points to Eren's way of using violence or revenge to solve things. He cannot see any path forward but killing an insane amount of people to keep the island safe, once he knows that the outside world hates and fears the people of Paradis. Nonviolent solutions really never come to him; he refuses to engage in diplomacy most of the time and just goes for a fight.
— Manipulative: Eren doesn't immediately come off as a manipulative person. He's not good at using words as weapons the way someone like Armin is. The biggest example of Eren's manipulation is that he orchestrated so many of the events in the series without anyone realising it. He kept future memories from apparently every past generation of Attack Titan holder (he did this by keeping memories from himself, even). He manipulated his dad into killing the Reiss family and stealing the Founding Titan from them, setting in motion almost all of what we see in the series leading up to the last few chapters/episodes. He lied to Zeke and let Zeke believe whatever he wanted so that the Rumbling could start. He changed the way he interacted with people he cared about so that they would hate him, give up on him, and/or fight him. He lied to Mikasa about her connection to him being something to do with her Ackerman blood (completely made up). He let Levi think he'd given up on life so that Levi would give up on him. He pushed everyone's buttons as well as he could to get them to stand against them. But even earlier than that, he was manipulative. For example, he used his big puppy dog eyes on Reiner to get Reiner to falter for a second so that he could attack him to try to get free when Reiner and Bertholdt kidnapped him. He has no issue playing with people's emotions in whatever direction if it gets him what he wants.
• Character Skills:
• Hand to hand combat
• Knowledge of firearms/canons/explosives (note: he wouldn't have any knowledge of modern weaponry like machine guns or whatever)
• Basic survival skills (starting fires, basic cooking, can swim well enough to not die, first aid)
• Military tactical knowledge (note: he knows how tactics work, but he's a terrible planner and tends to just do whatever he wants in the moment)
• Aerial combat skills (requires ODM gear; ODM gear requires gas to function properly)
• Horseback riding
• He's really good at cleaning, having to live up to Levi's impossible standards
• Character Inventory: Characters may bring THREE items with them. These can be items a character owns, but might not happen to have on their person when they are brought to this world. They may bring tools they may already own to help them survive, or cherished personal items. The clothes they're wearing do not count as a slot, but if they have really good winter coat at home, that would count as a slot.
— ITEM ONE: a seashell
— ITEM TWO: a key on a leather thong like a necklace
— ITEM THREE: a knife (it's not special, just a regular sharp pocket knife; he mostly used it to trigger his titan transformation)
• Important Notes: I decided ~aesthetically~ to leave Eren's titan marks on his face. They do literally nothing, so it's just cosmetic. But he has them in the last conversation with Armin at one point and that's when I took him from so I figured why not annoy him by plastering them onto his face.
