HISTORY: here
PERSONALITY:

"The world is in danger once more. A man has appeared who opposes King Fritz's peaceful world. This man is a rebel against peace. And his name is..."

Eren is everything you would expect from a villain. He's reliant on violence, manipulation, and believes the ends justify the means. His enemies call him the usurper, having stolen the power of a king from its rightful owners. He's an unstoppable force that the entire world must band against or be itself destroyed by his wrath.

All this, and he hasn't even hit his twenties.

There was once a point where Eren was a hero. Where he was known by his friends as an idealistic, if block-headed, individual, whose recklessness was almost inspiring. He had his eyes on the horizon, always dreaming of the day that people could live their lives freely, without fear of being eaten alive by monsters. He figured - if those enemies were gone, they'd be free. In order to make that happen, he vowed to kill them all. Unfortunately for him, life wasn't that simple. It's never that simple.

As a child, he was aimless up until the point he discovered there was more to the world than simply lazing about and waiting for something to happen. He learned of a vast world outside of the walls that supposedly protected them - of fire that flowed like water, of vast fields of ice, of massive tracts of sand, and of a great expanse of water called the ocean. The idea that the world could be bigger than what he knew hadn't even hit him until then. He was in perpetual awe at the very thought of it, and yet before the idea of exploring it for himself could settle in, he was angry.

The world was so big, and yet he couldn't see it. That's what irritated him. There were obstacles in his way, and he had to get rid of them if he were to be free. That way of thinking set the foundations for who he is now. What sets him apart from others is his will to fight. Where others were afraid of the terror that lay outside the walls, he willingly pushed himself into that hell because he saw something different at the end. Whatever it was, he didn't know, but in order to see it for himself, he had to keep moving forward - at any cost.

That's who he is - pure, unfettered determination. He is a man of focus and sheer will. If he needs to get something done, he will make sure it is done with utmost certainty. It's part of what makes him a good soldier. It's part of what makes him such a terrifying enemy. He absolutely will not stop until the fight's over. And the fight's only over once one side of it is dead.

On a lighter note, it makes him an incredibly hard worker. He's spent most of his life doing manual labor without any complaints, and most will note that he's outright inspiring to those who lack his excessive willpower. He's able to provide advice and genuinely cares for those that need help, offering wisdom in their time of need. That said, his brand of advice is a very specific one, which generally boils down to doing what needs to be done.

He's not much of a people person beyond that - he was labelled an introvert without any friends by his own father, and doesn't really care about fixing that issue. What friends he does have were made in training, and even those relations are often strained by how unnaturally focused on the war effort he is. Those that are close to him in spite of that are, in his eyes, valuable beyond belief. He would start wars for their sake.

As you'd expect, it's not a trait they seem to like.

When the stakes get high, he tends to leave his friends behind and try to solve issues on his own. Due to his role as his country's greatest weapon, he often finds himself isolated from the rest of the other soldiers - his mindset is tough to understand unless you have lived through what he has. And that's difficult, considering he's lived through the lives of countless other people - through his supernatural abilities, he inherited the memories of his father and his predecessor, as well as having seen snippets of the lives of many who had come before him.

It's made him taciturn and quiet where he was once loud and wordy, withdrawn and reserved where once he couldn't help sticking his nose where he didn't belong, calm and cool-headed where once the flames of hatred and anger burned furiously. Some might see this change as a good thing - no one likes a brat. But would you really prefer him to be an irredeemable murderer? He even says it himself - "He's right. He's exactly right. I'm the bad guy. I might just destroy the world."

What does one have to see to make such a change?

What he's seen is violence. Generations of war built upon a foundation of corpses. It's a history that many would find hard to stomach. He's been witness to the worst of what mankind has to offer, and understands beyond his years that diplomacy, appealing to what some call "humanity", is a pointless effort. In the end, everyone falls back on force to get their way, and he's no different. He can't afford to be any different. The only way to change anything is to fight, and fight. To keep moving forward.

Until the enemy is wiped out.

CRAU: n/a.

SPECIES: Eldian. There's nothing separating him from humans besides the fact that in his series he can turn into a Titan and utilize some metaphysical powers. Obviously this wouldn't apply here.
APPEARANCE: full body here
SKILLS:

Eren's spent most of his life in the military. He's a trained soldier through and through, and part of the elite - for reference, he graduated within the top five of his class, coming just behind a girl with superpowers and three others that had prior military training. Every soldier is trained in the vertical maneuvering gear, a sort of grappling hook that flies in conjunction with pressurized gas that spews out from a mechanism contained on the lower back. In order to perform maintenance on it, soldiers are trained extensively in engineering. In order to use it, soldiers must be incredibly lithe and acrobatic, able to see the battlefield in three dimensions as opposed to the two when you're limited to the ground. Notable other skills include unarmed combat, horseback riding, and strategy. He himself is particularly skilled in hand-to-hand, making top of his class with it. After the advent of more modern technology (in his series, modern would mean WW1 era) within his country, he spent practically every waking moment practicing with weaponry such as bolt-action rifles and clip-fed pistols.

NEW POWER:

Regeneration. Damage done to the body is healed at a much faster rate than normally capable, and even the loss of body parts such as teeth and bone will be reversed with time. Small cuts and bruises close up in seconds, while internal damage to complex organs takes much longer. Severed limbs can take days or weeks depending on the severity of damage done. However, one can expediate the process by expending their own blood. The caveat to this power is that loss of blood cannot be recouped. As such, it's very necessary to maintain moderate levels of blood within the body, otherwise one risks fainting and, at extreme levels of injury, certain death. In many cases, you would be better off admitting yourself to a hospital instead of relying only on one's own ability.

POWER REASONING:

Eren fights. A lot. It's his life. As such, a power that complements his ability to fight by allowing him to fight for longer periods of time and shrug off wounds fits him well. That and the fact that he can also canonically regen makes me feel that having such a power, even if it's not the same as before, works best with how he is.
