Arvad - He is NOT a Jaeger

[Name: Gunther “Arvad” Schindler, but he prefers to be exclusively called Arvad Gender: Male Height: 6’3”/191cm Nationality: German Allegiance: Azur Lane Occupation: Soldier

Appearance: Hair: Black hair that is sometimes worn in a short ponytail. Eye: Dull brown Skin: White European Body type: Average Others:

Personality: Sentimental: Despite disliking his past as a whole, Arvad keeps around several photos of his past, especially of Fulda West’s cultural exchange program with Kuromorimine Girls’ Academy, a Japanese Sensha-do school that represents Germany during WW2. Calculated: Arvad makes sure he is understood well, and as such, chooses his words carefully in order to minimize confusion. Sometimes, he is misunderstood just because of his tone accidentally coming off as sarcastic at times. Stoic: Arvad has adopted stoicism not as a way of coping for his shitty past, but rather to attempt to live a well-lived life to avoid the sins of his father. Awkward: Even if Arvad seemed to have turned out normal for the most part, he actually does not know how to act whenever receiving affection or praise, usually assuming that someone wants something out of him.

Arvad is a half-KANSEN, the product of a shipgirl and a human conceiving. He enjoys the physical benefits of a shipgirl, as he is effectively immortal (he has regenerative immortality), boasts high durability, endurance, and strength. Paired with his concerningly strong will, Arvad could potentially scare the living shit out of any pirates unlucky enough to come his way.

Relations: Father: Arvad fully despises his father, who he shares the same hair and eye color with, mainly because Arvad was verbally abused and neglected by his father. Bismarck: Arvad has an estranged relationship with Bismarck, his mother. He shows slight regret that he never reached out to her while also resenting the fact that she basically abandoned him for her career. Along with that, Arvad rarely talks about Bismarck. Hood: Arvad sees Hood as his mother figure, and often goes to her for advice on matters he otherwise has no clue on. Krinkov: Krinkov is probably one of Arvad’s few close confidants, even if Krinkov is supposed to be Arvad’s direct commanding officer. Krinkov is a Canadian Azur Lane commander. Arvad suspects Krinkov is hiding a mech somewhere, but Arvad has yet to find evidence. Krinkov is a dependable, down-to-earth commander who treats his direct subordinates as his friends.

Arvad was born in Germany to the shipgirl Bismarck and a sociopathic British father, spending around five years in Berlin. Afterward, Arvad was raised by family on his father's side in London, later witnessing his father’s death in a shootout at the age of eight. Oddly enough, for his high school years, Arvad went back to Germany to live with family in the Fulda region, joining Fulda West, a military high school that is based off West Germany and has Sensha-do as a sport, which he became captain of during his last two years at Fulda West. After that, Arvad attended MIT, where he studied mechanical engineering and gunsmithing. After finishing college, Arvad moved back to the UK and joined the Royal Marines before joining the Azur Lane as a commando.

Arvad refuses to elaborate on his immortality and nigh endless willpower. Arvad has black hair and brown eyes, looking like an average person, despite being taller than the average male. Arvad is cynical, mainly due to his upbringing and belief that everyone has ulterior motives. His eating habits are irregular and unhealthy. He prefers being called Arvad, and anyone who isn’t his close friend won’t know Arvad’s first name is Gunther. Arvad usually talks like a British person, but he is so good at accents that he could fool someone who isn’t well-versed in other cultures into thinking he was a different nationality.

Arvad carries a Browning Hi-Power with a cheap flashlight taped to the underbarrel; an MP5A3 kitted with an EOTech EXPS3, a SureFire Ryder 9 suppressor, and an M203 grenade launcher; and an Mk20 Rh-202 20mm autocannon. He technically has a rigging, but it is so hard to manifest (as he is not a full-on shipgirl) that it essentially is not viable for him.

Arvad is a commando for the Azur Lane. However, he is mostly relegated to shipboarding and dispatching pirates, mainly due to the lack of actual need for soldiers trained in naval invasion. He also has been previously employed as a vampire hunter.

Arvad likes cats, especially stray cats; the color blue; beer; jam; cakes, and Darjeeling tea. His hobbies include tankery, although he has become unfamiliar with the sport’s newer editions (although he still watches it religiously with his high school friends, who he still talks to), sharpshooting, swordfighting, and having tea time.

Arvad dislikes not being allowed alcohol, people trying to raid his safe (which contains a jar of his favorite jam and sliced bread), his dad, and excessive noise.

Combat Uniform: Arvad wears a Danish frogman veil over his head to hide his face, a grayish green combat suit with a grey plate carrier with rifle and pistol magazine pouches, a knife holster, and a morale patch with a middle finger. He wears dark gray cargo pants filled with various utilities. He has an electric rectangular lantern hanging on the left side of his belt.
