Character Information

Likes: Engineering and tinkering: It has always been a hobby of his since he was a child as he was inspired by his father who was a mechanical genius.
Art: As he has Akathisia he one day taught himself to draw as he felt like he had to do something. Now every time he sees something interesting he likes to draw it so he’ll never forget.
Music: He was taught by his mother to play the piano and (acoustic) guitar. Ever since then he has enjoyed writing lyrics and music as well as playing them. Music also calms him down and helps him think.
Dislikes: Loud places: Being a semi-introvert he doesn’t like loud places as he finds it harder to think. Also he assumes that loud places mean that there’s a lot of people he doesn’t know and he doesn’t like being around strangers much.
Crowds: He doesn’t like being around strangers, as said, because he feels like he can not be himself. He also has trust issues and is claustrophobic making him dislike crowds even more.
Doing nothing: His Akathisia gets the better of him so he can not sit back doing nothing. He always must be doing something otherwise he gets bored and sitting still drives him crazy.
Fears: The Dark: He feels unsafe in the dark as he feels like he is either being watched or going to be murdered.
Heights: He doesn’t trust heights as he is paranoid that he might slip and fall to his death.
Death: Everyone is afraid of death so you can’t really blame him.
Motivations: His Akathisia: Doing this gives him another excuse not to do nothing.
Protection: He feels like he needs to protect everyone, even if he doesn’t like socializing with them. Killing Titans also makes him feel safer as he’s technically saving himself.
Experience: He always likes trying new things so joining the Survey Corps would be a good thrill ride for him and hopes to enjoy the experience.

Character History

Background: Mitsuo had an isolated upbringing. His parents never let him outside as they did not want to disappoint his views on what outside was like. He imagined that the world was a safe place full new experiences and interesting activities. His parents had people teach him different things like martial arts, art, weaponry such as swordsmanship, maths, English and Japanese just so he could be homeschooled and wouldn’t ever have to leave the house. His mother taught him how to read and write music while his father taught him how to engineer and tinker with mechanics. They had a healthy lifestyle from his father’s job as a mechanic for the Survey Corps. His father told him a lot about the Survey Corps and the 3DMG which made him believe that they could be as free as they wanted to. That is when joining the Survey Corps became his new dream and so he always trained his various fighting skills he learnt with his dad so that he could be prepared to join them. He promised himself that when he does join the Survey Corps he will discover how to make his own 3DMG and improve it to make him known for his engineering skills like his dad. His mother told him about the Titans and how they disrespect the human race and cause the people to live in fear which made changed his perspective on the perfection of the world and he wants to correct that so people must not live in fear and so the world is safer and more like dream paradise. Now that he is sixteen and has joined he will complete his promise and fulfill his dreams. He has high hopes in climbing to the highest ranks so he can be finally be respected like the way he has secretly respected others. He has set himself on his own journey and his determination never falters. He will try and try again until he manages to complete his goals: Erase the Titans from the face of the Earth, upgrade and improve the Survey Corps gear to become the best engineer ever and be able to live freely without fear.
Extras: His father is one of the most well known engineers inside the wall as he works for the Survey Corps. This means that Mitsuo has a legacy to fulfill and his dad has high hopes of him taking over the family shop "Shimura Works" and imporving it. Mitsuo is a little popular because of his father and is called "Shimura's Son" by a few.
