WHOA ok, that was a jambled mess of text up there, I apologize. Getting sleep isn't one of my strong suits V.V But HEY, more ocs stuff! :-D Cause you guys aren't getting bored with this stuff already haha.....hahaha... >.>


    Clause Abel

> Age: 23-28
> Nationality: German
> Birthday: January 3rd
> Height: 180 cm
> Family: Linda Abel (Mother), Boris Abel (Father), Anya Barone (Friend)
> Affiliation: (Former) Survey Corps
> Species: Titan shifter
> Status: Alive?
> Nickname(s): Elephant. Given to him in a rather mocking way by Levi for Clause's good hearing and ears.

> Appearance: Clause has raven-black hair that hangs a little tower than shoulder length. He always has half of it tied back in a pony-tail and the rest hanging free. Nowadays it is always hanging in his face. What's the point in fixing it if he can't see?? His once clear green eyes are now partially clouded over, as evidence from his accident. The bridge of his nose is thick and curved downwards like Annie's. Under his eyes are dark bags from his lack of sleep. Clause is usually seen in a ripped, short-sleeve green shirt, and what's left of his old cloak around his waist. He still wears the pants and boots he had on the day he was "eaten". His hands are rough and cracked on the fingertips; the same on his feet, there are multiple scars and bruises all over his body. Most of them being on the inside of his right forearm (self-inflicted to transform). On another note, he has fairly big ears which also relates to his nickname.

> Personality: A bright young man who was always willing to help and strives to do better. Even in dark situations, he tried to keep a smile on his face. Clause was a man you could look up to, until a number of events arose and turned him distant and quiet. He strays from long conversations or being the center of attention. Too many people around him cause him to get fidgety and irritable. At most times, Clause is very tense and alert, almost like he thinks something is going to happen. Don't even try to scare the guy, you walk up behind him and catch him off guard, it's more than likely that he'll punch you in the face then blame you afterward. He's almost always uncomfortable and on edge. As a nervous habit, Clause will snap at you first thing with an either sarcastic or insulting remark. He doesn't mean it.... Most of the time, Because more often than not, he'll talk back and give you a face full of sass. Despite what all this might tell you, he's a pretty confident guy.

> History: Born in Trost, raised in Shiganshina when his father gathered them up to live closer to his relatives. That's where Clause met Anya and her older sister. As he got older, he grew to admire the military especially the Survey Corps after seeing Anya's older sister there. Ever since then he has wanted to join, to be just like her. So the moment he got old enough, he and Anya went off to become trainees. It was rough but they got through and even made a couple of new friends. Clause graduated as the 6th highest in his group. Later, he trained for the Survey Corps and even got his own team. After a surprise encounter with an abnormal titan, causing Clause to lose a couple teammates, he trained himself to learn the sounds of each titan, even listening to the different footsteps of each class so he wouldn't get surprised like that again.
As the years passed, Clause had become a very strong and reliable soldier along with his team members. Before the fall of Wall Maria, Clause join Erwin and the rest of the Survey Corps to help them in their goal to have their first headquarters outside the walls. During that time there was an accident that caused him to lose his sight. After that, he started acting weird; all jumpy and such. When the titans broke in, he and his friends attempted to get to the boats while encountering a few titans along the way. Before they could make it, a rather large looking titan stood in their way. Clause, upon hearing the footsteps, screamed at his friends to run. As this was happening the titan grabbed him and put him in it's mouth.
For a long while, it was assumed that he was dead, until a "Blind" titan, upon capturing and seemingly "eating" Anya, was taken down by Eren. When he ripped open the nape of the titan's neck, Clause was found inside.

> Info on titan form <

    -Appearance: The hair is the same color but shorter than his human form, just below his ears. His eyes are blood-shot, the clouded pupil is even more apparent in this form, and the entire eyes is constantly shaking. his nose is the same, save for the 3 markings down the bridge. The bags under his eyes are more wrinkle with 4-5 streaks running through them. The front row of his teeth are the only ones that show; they are sharp, perfect for ripping through skin, and a few shades yellow. The "muscle" on the sides of his cheeks aren't really muscles, they're just stretchy skin which aren't connected to each other (in fact, that's where he blows the steam from his mouth). If he were to open his mouth the rest of his teeth would be shown. His arm are long and thin, not much for fighting, on the underside of both upper arms are crossed markings (Resembling the crossed pattern his cheeks have), his tendons are visible on his hands and fingers, the nails are long and sharp (a dark shade of color). The sides of the neck are the same stretchy skin as his cheeks. The leg muscles are the only ones that show and the are huge; perfect for escaping. His ears are also notably big. Overall he has a pretty slim build.

- It's not known why his eyes don't heal back to normal. Clause figures there was something messed up in his titan form due to the accident that originally caused him to be blind.

    -Titan class: 17m??
    -Transformation caused by: Cutting into his forearm.
    -Titan ability: Excellent hearing, and smell, he relies on both to keep away from titans. Speed is another quality he has, due to his big leg muscles, which is another thing he relies on. If he were to fight, he'd mainly use his legs, nails, and teeth. But Clause tends to keep away from other titans.
    - Knowledge of transformation: His parents told him
    -Does anyone else know: After he was captured it was pretty obvious. Originally, no one knew.

> Story <
    - During the expedition outside the walls five years ago, Clause was surprise when an odd looking titan attack him and causing him to lose his sight.
    - After being separated from his friends and "eaten" by a rather large titan, he escaped and lived outside the walls in his titan form. The first time he had ever turned. It freaked him out and was hard to get a handle on, but after years of changing into one to roam around, and changing back to sleep in the trees, he got the hang of it. Why didn't he just go back? Well, he figured, since he knew too much, he's have people after him and his friends. He couldn't have that. Besides, he was scared. Not just of himself, but of whoever was after him. In the times he spent outside he's gotten better at hearing where enemies are coming from, smelling them, and evading them. He doesn't fight unless he has to.


That's it for now! Sorry for any mistakes, feel free to correct me on them! I feel like this was the most I written on one of these. I'm probably wrong though. (I know the titan story might seem a little dumb -and quite frankly, I'm unhappy with it-, but it's still in progress!!)
