Reluctant Heroes is a 15+ Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin roleplay forum. We begin at the Fall of Wall Maria and write our own version of events, with unique plot lines, original characters, and interpretations of canon characters. After Wall Maria is lost, the military begin conscripting cadets as well as accepting enlistments, and the 104th Cadet Corps begins mere months after the Fall.

We have a Discord server for out-of-character communication and plotting, but all writing takes place on the forum!

Currently, we're set in 847, with titans flooding Utopia District with abnormal behaviour. We use fluid time so backdating threads is allowed and encouraged!


Note: In this alternate universe, the 104th Cadet Corps train together - there are no divisions based on areas, instead they move training grounds & barracks each year to different locations. Hitch and Marlowe would train with Eren & the rest of the 104th we follow throughout the main series!

Connie was born and bred in Ragako, a village in the southern region of Wall Rose. Although galvanized by a fierce desire to make his family proud, he will soon experience the fear and uncertainty felt by those living in the shadow of the outermost Wall. While Connie may struggle with comprehension occasionally, he will ultimately make for an outgoing, humorous and optimistic cadet.

Girlish, lazy and in some ways immature, Hitch is happy to cut corners wherever possible. With that being said, she is also a talented cadet and is capable of applying herself whenever it will be of benefit to her.

Stoic, tall and dark-haired, Marlowe is a righteous individual with aspirations to join the Military Police. His intentions are noble and, whatever faction he ultimately chooses, he will certainly excel as a soldier.

Pessimistic and a touch cowardly, Thomas doesn't seem built for a military life. That being said, he rallies to his friends and comrades when required, and seems able to control his fear to some degree. There is little canon information on him, besides him being from Trost District, so whoever so takes him up will have a largely blank slate to work from.
