A pair of sizable, gorgeous teal eyes peer out from beneath a mess of unruly brown waves. A vacant, insanity-tinged smile graces his chapped lips, baring his gleaming white teeth. His dirty nails dig into his filthy caramel jacket, as he stares at something-or someone-that isn't there. "I'm going to kill them all. Every. Last. One." he chokes, tears forming at the corner of his eyes. His emerald cape flies proudly in the wind, the Wings of Freedom insignia emblazoned across the back.
He's mankind's last and only hope.
He's a heathen with an ominous power unknown to the common man.
He's not your average teenager.
He's Eren Jaeger.
Eren was born and raised in the Shiganshina District, a sizable village held within Wall Maria, the outer wall which once protected humanity from the humanoid beasts known as Titans. At first glance, Eren comes off as hard-nosed, cocky, plucky and fiery. What's kept secret is that it's a facade, used to mask his torturous past.
Accompanied by his best friends, bookish introvert Armin Arlert and adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, Eren watched Wall Maria fall at the hands of the malevolent beast known as the Colossal Titan, the Titans' shogun, if you will. Meagre minutes after the destruction of the wall, Eren returned to a demolished home and a deceased mother, devoured by one of the many invading Titans right in front of him. Deeply scarred by the incident, Eren vowed that from that day he would join the Survey Corps and slaughter all of, if not most, of the Titans that inhabited his world.
Years passed. Eren slowly metamorphosed from grief into fear, fear into self-loathing, self loathing into fire and fury and all of the above. After several years of training with the Cadets alongside his friends- Armin, Mikasa, Jean Kirschtein, Marco Bodt, Connie Springer, Sasha Braus, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover, Historia Renz and Ymir- Eren is ready to choose which squad he applies for- the Garrison Regiment, the Scout Regiment or the Military Police. Through some vivid, horrific and very lucky circumstances, Eren ends up in the hands of the Scout Regiment.
After dying, turning into a monster, and nearly being killed in court.
When a mission goes terribly wrong, Eren is eaten by a Titan. While in the Titan's stomach, he contemplates giving up, and letting himself be killed. A series of memories flash through his mind of him reading a book with Armin about the outside world, and how they'd promise to see it together. A light flashes, and Eren finds himself back in the outside world, very much alive, in the form of a 15-meter, long-haired, fanged Titan.
Eren soon returns to his human form, disoriented and confused. Immediately, in lieu of being slaughtered on sight, he is taken to court, where he is fought for by the Military Police and the Scout Regiment. The Military Police claim to capture and kill him on the spot, whereas the Scout Regiment win custody of him, thanks to Lance Corporal Levi Rivaille beating him senseless. Eren lives in fear of Levi for a short time, but knows he only did it to save his life.
Eren bonds with the rest of his friends, who join him in the Scout Regiment, and learns to control his newfound ability to use it to combat the Titans.
The Titans are still very much a calamity, and Eren is aware that there is a long way to go before he can finish them off, once and for good. And he proudly takes on that challenge with bright eyes and his hands wrapped around his blades.
"On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls."
