Description Alrighty everyone. Here we have a brand new Attack on Titan OC for you all to look at and (hopefully) enjoy. I made Lawrence kind of because I wanted to have a love interest from Adalyn but didn’t want it to be a canon character as that is kinda repetitive and I no longer like the idea as much as I used to. But I also created Lawrence because I wanted a male AoT OC. Also like I did with Adalyn's ref sheet, I made some alternate outfits for Lawrence. Thise can be seen here: www.deviantart.com/levijaeger1…

I hope you guys like this ^^

Also I apologize if Lawrence looks a bit too frowny. I wanted him to look happier but that didn’t happen so I apologize for that.

    Mom: Deceased 
    Dad: Deceased
    Sister: Deceased

(Lawrence’s family lived in Shiganshina. To make money, they ran a bakery where people could buy various breads and other baked goods. They mother and sister were at home when the wall was destroyed and their house being close to the outer gate, they weren’t able to evacuate in time and were eaten by Titans. The father was at the bakery (which was much closer to the inner gate) and managed to evacuate on one of the boats. However, he was sent out on the “Operation to Reclaim Wall Maria” and passed away during that time. The family was not aquatinted with the Jaegers)

Likes: hanging out with his squad members, tea, time to relax/unwind, building relationships with his subordinates, ling moonlit walks

Dislikes: unintentionally pushing people away, people who don’t give an effort, losing his love ones, facing his fears

Personality: Lawrence always wants to seem like he’s tough and unapproachable as he doesn’t want to seem vulnerable in terms of his emotions to his comrades. However, this facade of his is easily broken. Whenever he’s with his friends or other people he cares about, he’s a big goof ball who is always cracking jokes and trying to make everyone laugh and smile. Ask the higher ups in the Survey Corps and they’ll tell you Lawrence is like a big teddy bear. Once people get past his tough exterior, it’s very easy to become friends with him.

When Lawrence is faced with serious situations outside the walls, he forgets the positive side of his personality and becomes focused on being successful on the mission. He wishes to keep his comrades safe and tries his best to come up with the best possible means of survival. This makes him a good leader but also means he can come off as blunt and the more serious the situation, the more angry he comes off as. If this is one’s first experience with Lawrence, this usually makes people fearful of him.

Adalyn says that Lawrence remind her a lot of her older brother.

Backstory (broken up into each story arc from the manga):

Before the fall of Wall Maria:

Lawrence was born to a relatively well off family in terms of those who live in the district of Shiganshina. His family ran a bakery where people could buy bread and other assorted baked goods. This was the family’s main source of income and they were able to live a steady life.

Lawrence always wanted to join the military when he grew up as he was always really excited when the Survey Corps would leave or come back from missions. Every time he saw the Wings of Freedom symbol, he was immediately filled with a sense of pride. Lawrence also loved hearing stories about those in the military police. They were the best of the best and Lawrence aspired to be like them, a soldier with the ability to kill their incredibly strong predators with ease.

Lawrence entered the military when he was 12 years and ended up getting the number 7 spot in his class. Everyone else in the top 10 of his class joined the Military Police and at first, he wanted to join that branch as well. But then he remembered the pride he felt whenever he saw the Survey Corps and their symbol: The Wings of Freedom. Every time he saw it, he was filled with the pride of humanity’s strength and felt the need to help them fight back against the Titans. When he remembered this at the graduation ceremony, he immediately chose the Survey Corps.

Lawrence was a normal base line recruit for a few years until he was deemed competent enough and had enough skill to have his own his squad. He was assigned 4 new recruits and made friends with them quickly and they sort of became a small, close knit family. The bond between those in Lawrence’s squad was commonly known to be stronger than almost any other squad in the Survey Corps. He just seemed to be able to easily bring many people together once he got to know them a little bit.

On the day the wall fell, Lawrence was relaxing in his office in the Survey Corps headquarters after they had returned from their mission that morning. While he was relaxing, a messenger frantically ran throughout the building informing everyone of the fall of Shiganshina and Wall Maria. When Lawrence heard this, he jumped up and ran to see if he could get any sort of information about his family and their well-being. He was unable to find out about their whereabouts for around five days. After these five days, Lawrence was able to meet up with his father in the impromptu refugee camp set up in Trost. But the news he received wasn’t good as his father informed Lawrence that because their home was so close to the wall when it was broken, his mother and sister had been unable to flee. Lawrence was immediately crushed and began to lightly cry. His father hugged him and did his best to console him.

When the Survey Corps went out on their first “attempt” at reclaiming Wall Maria, Lawrence’s father was selected as one of the hundreds of thousands of people sent out to aid the Survey Corps. Lawrence tried his best to protest this but it was no use and his father was sent out on the expedition regardless. As expected, very few people returned from the mission, Lawrence’s father included. Lawrence’s father had been eaten by a Titan and there was nothing that could really be done in the moment so Lawrence was forced to accept that all his family had fallen victim to the Titans and that he was alone.


Trost Arc:

When Erwin noticed that the Titans were heading North towards Trost and ordered the Survey Corps to return from their current expedition immediately, Lawrence followed orders and returned. When they did, he worked with everyone among the Survey Corps to eliminate the remaining Titans that had been trapped inside Trost due the wall being plugged with the boulder.


Female Titan Arc:

When the new recruits came to the temporary Survey Corps head quarters in the castle, Lawrence had noticed the skills of one particular soldier and asked for special permission to have her join his squad rather than the one she was originally designated to join. This soldier was Adalyn Fischer (bio can be found here: www.deviantart.com/levijaeger1… )

Lawrence introduced Adalyn to the rest of his squad and she quickly became integrated into the small knit family that they had. Their bond had become extremely strong by the time the 57th expedition happened.

Lawrence’s squad was placed in the center row of the formation, almost perfectly sandwiched between the commander’s squad and squad Levi. Lawrence had been made aware of the likely event of an enemy Titan shifter showing up and had been instructed to help set up the trap for the Female Titan with a small group of other squads. While it wasn’t what he wanted, the members of Lawrence’s squad, save for Adalyn as she was a rookie, were assigned to be part of the group of soldiers whose purpose was to aid in the fight against the Female Titan as reinforcements. Because of this, Lawrence’s squad was completely wiped out during the expedition.

Lawrence was devastated by this happening but blocked out the emotions he was feeling and moved forward with setting up the trap. Adalyn kept asking him what was going on and why they were setting up all of the explosives. Lawrence kept telling her that he couldn’t tell her yet and that she should only focus on correctly setting up the trap.

While the trap was successful in catching the Female Titan originally, the shifter eventually managed to call in a bunch of normal Titans that ended up devouring the body. Erwin gave the order for every soldier to kill as many Titans as they could. Lawrence told Adalyn to stand by on a branch high up in one of the trees so she wouldn’t have to fight in such a dangerous situation. Adalyn protested but Lawrence had already joined the other soldiers in slaughtering as many Titans as possible.

Eventually, Erwin realized the attempt was futile and gave the order for the Survey Corps to retreat back to Karanes. Lawrence and Adalyn got back on their horses and began to head out of the forest. Because his squad had been entirely wiped out by the Female Titan, Lawrence had Adalyn ride alongside him with Hanji and Erwin’s squads. They returned to Karanes and then worked out a plan on how to catch the Female Titan when Eren would be brought to trial in Stohess.


Clash of the Titans Arc:

Lawrence stayed in Stohess after the Survey Corps mostly successful attempt at capturing Annie. He spent most of this time staying with Hanji and Erwin during the time they were recuperating.

When the news about Wall Rose being breached reached them, Lawrence went with Hanji and the other soldiers to Utgard Castle and subsequently was on the wall when Reiner and Bertolt revealed themselves to be the Armored and Colossal Titans. He observed the Titan battle between Eren and Reiner whilst grappled to the wall with a bunch of other soldiers. Therefore, when Bertolt made his Titan fall off the wall, Lawrence was caught up in the immediate gust of steam and heat and ended up getting injured like Hanji and the others. Because of this, he stayed back when the other Survey Corps went to rescue Eren.

When they did return, Lawrence saw his last remaining squad member, Adalyn looking extremely upset and distraught as she stood off to the side. She seemed like she’d been crying and looked like she still was. He didn’t know what had happened to her when she was out with the others but Lawrence went over to her and hugged her. He did his best to comfort her but also didn’t want to pressure her into telling him what was wrong. This event really helped to strengthen their bond even further.


Uprising Arc:

Lawrence decided he did not necessarily need to pull together a group of new recruits so he was sort of pseudo adopted into Hanji’s squad. While Squad Levi was working together behind the scenes to figure out where Eren and Historia were being held, Lawrence was with Hanji and Moblit working to get the truth out of the First Interior Military Police squad about what they were doing.

When the revolt against the government was successful, Lawrence joined back up with Squad Levi to help recover Eren and Historia from the underground cavern.

After they managed to over throw the government, retrieve Eren and Historia, and were starting to make legitimate plans to retake Wall Maria, Lawrence ended up asking Adalyn to be his girlfriend. She said yes and that’s where their relationship officially began.


Return to Shiganshina Arc:

Lawrence told himself in the lead up to the mission that he was prepared and ready to return to Shiganshina when the Survey Corps left to reclaim it and Wall Maria. Right before Eren sealed the outer gate and a group of soldiers were on the wall, he stopped and looked over the town. He hadn’t seen the town since he returned from the expedition the morning of the day Wall Maria fell and he’d also never seen any of the damage to the town so seeing all the destruction made him slightly emotional. He stopped and stared for a moment at the district that he once called his home many years ago.

Adalyn saw him and walked over to him. She snapped him out of his trance like state and told him that they needed to proceed to the outer gate with the rest of Levi and Hanji’s squad.

In the chaos of the battle between the Armored and Colossal Titans, Lawrence was separated from both Hanji and Levi’s squads and was off on his own when Bertolt transformed. He managed to barely escape death by hiding behind a house that was far enough away from the explosion that he was shielded enough from the heat and debris. However as he was ducking into this protective spot, a piece of debris hit his upper leg. It wasn’t an extremely bad wound but it still made moving difficult and would need stitches when they returned from the mission.

Lawrence did manage to make it back to where Levi’s squad was as they blew Reiner out of his Titan. Later, as Hanji tried to get any information out of Reiner that she could, Lawrence sat off to the side while Adalyn gently wrapped his leg with some bandages to help hold him over until he could get proper medical attention.

After Reiner was taken away by Zeke and they then rushed over to see what was happening with the Serum, Lawrence immediately showed his support to Levi and said that he agreed that the serum should be given to Erwin. He looked over at Adalyn who looked to be on the brink of crying. He felt bad for her but also felt that Erwin would be a better choice for the sake of humanity’s future and for his own selfish reasons; that being that Erwin was one of his close friends.

Lawrence was greatly disappointed when Levi ended up chosing Amin instead of Erwin. He stayed back with Hanji and Levi as the 104th recruits went to pull Armin out of his titan. He was initially upset with Levi’s choice but once Levi explained his reasoning for choosing Erwin, Lawrence then understood and decided that maybe letting Erwin go wasn’t such a horrible decision after all. Lawrence also joined Levi in telling Adalyn that it was okay for her to join her friends where Armin was as she had been staying back to make sure he and Levi were doing okay.


Marley Arc:

Lawrence secretly arrived in Marley with the other Survey Corps members roughly 4 years after the reclaimed Wall Maria. He was not even remotely fond of the idea of killing innocent civilians so he did his best to avoid killing innocent people and only focused on trying to stop the Marleyan military from calling in reinforcements.

After the attack was mostly concluded, Lawrence got back onto the air ship and rendezvoused with Levi and Hanji. When Adalyn didn’t come back immediately, Lawrence was worried about her safety and was worried that she might’ve died in the midst of the fight. But he was relieved when she finally made her way onto the air ship. He was surprised to see that she seemed to have followed Gabi and Falco onto the ship and that she had another child strapped to her back with her cloak.

After Adalyn began to silently cry after she realized what had happened to Sasha, Lawrence took her into the room where the other higher up Survey Corps soldiers were sitting and began to console her. He did so the whole way back to Paradis Island.


War for Paradis Arc:

Lawrence was with Hanji when she was taken by the Jaegerists so he was, by proxy, also taken by the group. The group knew that Hanji knew where Zeke was being hidden but they didn’t know for sure if Lawrence knew so they decided to take him along with them just in case.

When Lawrence saw Adalyn among the Jaegerist soldiers escorting him and Hanji, he felt an immediate feeling of betrayal. Hadn’t she been watching over Gabi, Falco, and Piper at HQ? What was she doing here now? Lawrence never expected Adalyn to agree with what Eren and the Jaegerists were doing so he was greatly confused by her presence. But his feelings were proven to be false really quickly.

They came across Levi’s nearly lifeless and unconscious body on the way to Zeke’s location. Lawrence knew that Adalyn had become good friends with Levi over the years so when he saw her freeze up as she walked over to his body, something in the back of his mind told him that she hadn’t betrayed them.

When a group of Jaegerists broke off to chase Hanji after she’d jumped into the river, Lawrence decided to chase after them as well, not caring that he was technically a hostage to the Jaegerists. He rode up to the group just as Adalyn shot one of the pursuers. The others fled and Lawrence rushed over to Adalyn. He hugged her quickly and then they both turned their focus to Levi. Adalyn wanted to stay there and help Levi but Hanji told her that her skills were needed in Shiganshina in the fight. She protested but Lawrence agreed with Hanji and told her that it would be best for her to go to Shiganshina. He also agreed to go with her so they mounted their horses and rode to the wall.

When they got up to the top of the wall, they saw Magath and Pieck. Pieck in Titan form immediately took a defensive position when she saw Adalyn and Lawrence. Magath vouched for Adalyn but then asked her who Lawrence was. She then explained that Lawrence was her boyfriend and that they were very close so he could be trusted; he was not a threat to him.

When Adalyn went off to look for Gabi, Falco, and Piper, Lawrence stayed back with Pieck and Magath. He asked how they knew of Adalyn and how they could trust her so easily and Magath explained what she’d done to protect Gabi, Falco, and Piper back in Liberio. Lawrence lightly smiled hearing the story as he always knew Adalyn would care for everyone she deemed as innocent, regardless if others considered them to be enemies. Adalyn eventually came back and Lawrence once again hugged her.

When Eren released the wall titans and began the rumbling, Lawerence went with Magath, Pieck, and Adalyn. They ran into Levi and Hanji and Lawrence was relieved to hear that Levi was still alive. After this event, they all grouped up and gathered more soldiers to form the Alliance and they then began to work out a plan to stop Eren and the rumbling.

(If this last paragraph seems a little rushed, I apologize. I’m not sure where I want Lawrence to be in this last little bit of the manga so I’ll figure that out as the last few chapters are released. I’ll be sure to update you all when I update this part of his bio)
