Character Information

Name: Eren Jaeger
Age: Too Young to Be a Fucking Soldier (15)
Fandom: Attack on Titan
Appearance: Look at his precious baby face and his incredibly normal brown hair and his average/slightly short height and his FUCKING STARBURST CYAN EYES FUCK THOSE EYES MAN
History: Some inspirational quote by him about the destruction and slash or complacency of humanity
Canon Point: Just prior to his court marshal.
Personality: Kid's fucked up.

That's it.

That's the personality.

I mean like he's totally irredeemable this kid. And not in a good way, but I'm very hesitant to say he's a bad guy. AT the same time, "convicted" sugarcoats the fucked up monster Eren Jaeger is. Eren Jaeger is the kind of monster created out of good intentions and extreme black and white morality. He is like the Westboro Baptist Church of Titan killing. What I'm trying to say is he does things he perceives as right while the rest of the world stares at him going "what the fuck Eren that shit isn't cool."

And this starts, so far as we know, without taking into account that he was already this way when this incident occurred when he is nine goddamn years old and he kills two men in cold fucking blood and then teaches a previously-peaceful girl to do the same. These are not the actions of a child in his right mind. A child does not commit premeditated murder, even if it's to save another child. That's just not a thing that runs through a normal kid's head. The concept of live if you win, win if you fight, die if you don't, is not an easy one to grasp. Beyond grasping it, it's not easy to accept, either. And this is like six years prior to the point where he is now.

At the start of the series, Eren's convictions are just fucking powerful. And while it gets him into trouble, he's not wrong. Mankind's complacency has set them up as lambs ready for the slaughter. Their guards, their soldiers are complacent. For 100 years, they have been safe--and Eren didn't believe it. This is ten year old Eren, of course. People think he's crazy, and considering the way life is around him, he might be a little bit. He lashes out angrily at those who think they're safe, including his own mother. Though he has made a place for himself out of Mikasa and Armin (his adopted sister and his best friend), he has nothing to back up his beliefs, and no way to assert himself other than his mouth.

Eren has no inborn skills. He's not smart, he's not strong, he can't punch, he can't even balance properly. Eren is no hero, no solider, not fit for combat--at least not at first. Unlike Mikasa, to whom the physical aspect of combat comes naturally, and Armin who is quick with strategy, Eren is just a moron with little to his name outside of a determination to kill titans. But his determination is worth a dozen skills--it's through that which he succeeds, becoming the fifth in his class despite his pretty huge lack of skills. I'm not exaggerating either. That's what his teacher said.

BUT YOU KNOW for being an angry, fucked up kid, Eren's kind of optimistic as hell and really idealistic, too. The top ten recruits in every class are given a chance to join the military elite, the ones furthest from the front lines. And Eren doesn't think twice about it, wanting to join the survey/recon/whatever people with the cool wing logo (ngl i would go for the wing logo myself). Those are the people with the most direct contact with the titans. And dude titans fucking eat people. They're not nice about it either. They'll like BITE OF YOUR FEET FIRST. THEY'LL BE LIKE I WAS TO PEEPS WHEN I WAS A KID AND JUST EAT THEIR EYES FIRST AND THEN SLOWLY EAT THE REST OF THEIR BODIES THAT IS A THING TITANS WILL DO. Like Eren's mom it wasn't just like om nom nom it was like /CRACKS THIS MOTHERFUCKER LIKE A CRABLEG AND EATS IT. And like dude they just bit Thomas in half and DON'T GET ME STARTED ON MARCO OH MY GOD. And Mina, in the manga, Moe titan just put her head between its teeth and my poor baby i can't

POINT IS YOU DON'T WANNA FUCK WITH TITANS.

EXCEPT EREN DOES. He has this actual belief he will kill all the titans. He has this honest to god desire to be on the front lines and exterminate these shit heads. Because a, they eat people and 2, they ate his fucking mom and iii, he wants to see the outside world because this is his world and he has the motherfucking right to. Eren is a human and this is the world he was born to and he wants to see the ocean, he wants to see the desert. He wants to be a part of the world he was born into. He doesn't want to die having seen nothing but the walls. And he really believes he might get out.

AND IT'S NOT JUST THAT he's determined as hell, but he's also loyal as anything. In episode 5 he gets eaten by a goddamn titan to save Armin. Even when he's a goddamn titan, he still beats the shit out of titans messing with Mikasa. When given the chance, Eren chooses to put his life on the line to continue to defend mankind even when they have given up on him. He takes what he's given and he goes with it--so now he can turn into a titan. He's a monster. He knows this. Instead of rampaging on people (after... a while anyway), he uses it to save people. It's because of this kid mankind was able to make their first successful attack on the titans.

Look, summed up into one sentence: Eren is an idiot who will never find happiness, but he has a chance to create it for others. Eren will put his life on the line to defend what he believes is right. On the other side of the coin, he will kill a man for doing what is wrong. He has no tolerance for wrong. He will kill all the titans. He will kill them, regardless of what they are. Which makes him a perfect candidate for Santa Destroy, because all y'all are monsters.

Game Specific

Suitability: He murdered like two dudes. When he was nine. Without any fucking regret. Do I have to expand?
Weapon: Modified 3D maneuver gear. It only has about a five meter distance on it (on either side), giving not nearly as much range and the gas only lasts ten minutes. Also it only comes with one set of blades that dull within only a few strikes. Gas and blades can be replenished at Dr. Naomi's.

Samples

Log/Third Person Sample: Walls, it seemed, were a lot easier to climb when they were made of solid rock or wood. Because those were the kind of walls you could see. And while Santa Destroy was absolutely full of walls, the important ones were the ones no one could. The ones Eren had smacked into, face-first, on his first journey to try and get out of this godforsaken city.

And while getting angry and slamming into targets and hitting things and fighting had pretty much worked so far... it was not so easy to fight invisible walls. This was mostly because the walls propelled anything that touched them backward like an electrical shock. So after the first dozen or so times that Eren tried to punch or stab or slash this wall, it only left him bruised and bloody and no better off. Just angry enough to start cursing at it.

Eren Jaeger was never very smart.

Eren Jaeger had also never, in his opinion, faced a problem like this that couldn't be dealt with by killing something. Sooner or later, anyway. This time, however, there were no titans to blame. Just a blonde woman with an accent he'd never heard before and the dozens upon dozens of lackeys that worked for her. Compared to titans, he thought, a deep frown on his face, that should be easy. But as he stalked back to the motel, he realized that this would probably be anything but. They'd done a good job of separating him from the others. He'd been separated before he got here, already, so he wasn't so much surprised by that than frustrated. At least, back in the cell he'd been chained in, Eren had been told face to face what was going on. Here, they had the audacity to give him a letter and expect him to follow along with their plans.

He laughed, the first time he found out what was going on. They expected him to kill other people. They had to be the biggest goddamn idiots around to expect that of him. Not that he had any aversion to killing people--he'd done it before--but he wasn't the type to kill for fun. Or at least, he didn't kill for pleasure unless business was involved as well. The only business killing Eren really felt he had was to do away with the monsters that brought untrained kids into a world, handed them weapons and expected them to fight.

In a world free of titans, a place where people should be free, where there were no threats, where the ocean was close enough to smell and the desert was close enough to see, there was no need for them to be locked up. This place was mocking him. Even as he ran his bruised knuckles under the faucet in the bathroom of the motel room he could barely afford, Eren clenched his fist. Fuck the UAA. Fuck Sylvia Christel. And fuck anyone else who stood in his way. He was needed back home. And he wouldn't stop until they sent him back, so he could see the ocean and the desert and the outside world with Mikasa and Armin. That was a promise he had already made to himself.

Journal Entry/First Person Sample: So it's berserk!Eren, but I think it carries his voice or... something. I can edit.
