Continues to (slowly) gain the trust of fellow recruits through usefulness alone, because his personality is far from pleasant. Aside from when it’s mandatory he seems to avoid contact with the others as much as possible.

Oddly enough this man was found wandering around outside of the walls by the Survey Corps and brought into custody for questioning as a result. He was truthful - admitted that he survived because he, too, is a titan. There were hundreds of questions, but his answers could only slake so many of them. Almost his entire life was spent maintaining only a few acres with his family, and his single attempt to explore resulted in capture.

when questioned about his family’s whereabouts, he’d answered that they’d simply been eaten.

After it was proven fact he was, indeed, a titan, he remained in custody for a long while. A few months consisting of countless arguments, trials, beatings, and thorough examinations, it’d been decided that he will join the scouts under heavy surveillance. He was warned that Erwin or Levi would slice his nape in an instant if he so much as winked wrong in Titan form, or if he could not prove his usefulness.

There is still seething distrust among most. Even the people that fought to get him thrust into the team are extremely wary, but they have confirmed that this titan is not the one that broke through Wall Maria, at least. Some certainly think otherwise, so they treat him as though he is a threat.

As of now there have been no incidents.

(Super quick sketchy refs until I can get a more detailed one finished)!

Customs within the walls are completely unbeknownst to him, so he tries to learn from a distance.

His armor platelets are shaped like hands, and they do not cover much of his body. His nape is partially exposed through the fingers laced around the back of his neck.

Unfortunately is losing muscle mass due to the stark drop in protein consumption after being “recruited,” especially with all of the increased activity. The armor platelets on his titan form vary in hardness depending on his health and wellness, so they have been weaker than usual as a result.

He seems to be frigid and wary anround everyone except Hange. Even though she is strange with how much she obsesses over experiments with his titan (and titans in general)- anything was better than being scorned.

It’s still not outright pleasant, but he does have a softer side when it comes to the younger members of the scouts. Ensuring their safety has become very important to him, otherwise he probably would just attempt to run away and see how things played out.
