Fulda West - D Company

Character 1: {Name: Gunther “Arvad” Schindler, but he prefers to be exclusively called Arvad Gender: Male Height: 5’8” Nationality: German-British Occupation: Student/Captain of D Company

Appearance: Hair: Black hair Eye: Dull brown irises Skin: White European Body type: Average Others:

Personality: 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. Realist: Arvad usually tends to avoid assumptions about anything, rather he assumes a logical outcome based on what he knows. If he is prepared, he will be confident, and if he is unprepared, he will not feel confident. 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. Arvad has no clue how to act stoic, and as such, comes off as emotionless to his fellow classmates. 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 anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with him. However, as Arvad isn't a fully grown adult yet, his strength hasn't fully manifested yet.

Relationships: 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. Klaus: Gregor: Gregor is basically Arvad’s best friend. The two go all the way back to elementary, so Gregor knows Arvad the best, and vice versa. Gregor keeps his head out for Arvad, and Arvad always supports Gregor’s endeavors Emil: Arvad is to salt as Emil is to sugar. Arvad moderates Emil’s chuunibyou behavior, while Emil tends to be the most optimistic of the group, and by using grand gestures, he manages to motivate Arvad enough to continue on. Landa: Albert Landa, or Landa, is one of Arvad’s close confidants, other than Gregor. The two share an intellectual bond and mutual respect for each other. Landa is the vice captain of D Company, is a polyglot, a polymath, and an avid fan of detective stories. Landa has brown hair and hazel eyes, similar to but has a distinct look compared to Arvad.

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 since Bismarck had decided to separate with his father, later witnessing his father’s death by the hands of the Russian mob 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. Arvad currently has an academic scholarship for MIT. When he finishes college, Arvad plans on moving back to the UK.

Arvad refuses to elaborate on his immortality (which he is currently unaware of) and nigh endless willpower. Arvad is cynical, mainly due to his upbringing and belief that everyone has ulterior motives. His eating habits are irregular and unhealthy. If he is hit by something that would mortally wound him, instead of dying, he goes into a deathlike coma where his body repairs itself, and after a week of that, he reawakens and usually vomits out any cancerous growths. 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, however he usually switches accents depending on what language he is talking in.

Arvad carries an MP5A3. He usually keeps it in the Leopard 1A5. 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 captain of D Company.

Arvad likes stray cats, jam, cakes, beer, and having time for tea. For hobbies, Arvad practices arranging tea sets in his free time, reading various forms of prose, and playing strategy games.

Dependable: No matter what, Gregor is fiercely loyal to his own friends and often will come to their aid, even if at his own cost. Friendly: Gregor prefers to be kind to others. If he can help it, he tries not to bother others as much as possible.

Relationships: Klaus: Gregor is extremely perplexed by how Klaus can be so lazy. Despite this, Gregor chalks up Klaus' laziness as the latter not getting enough sleep, and Klaus easily takes advantage of Gregor's friendliness. Emil: Gregor and Emil have a mutually friendly relationship. Gregor is amused by Emil's chuunibyou behavior, and Emil thinks Gregor is very similar to one of the main heroes from his fantasy stories. Arvad: Gregor is basically Arvad’s best friend. The two go all the way back to elementary, so Gregor knows Arvad the best, and vice versa. Gregor keeps his head out for Arvad, and Arvad always supports Gregor’s endeavors.

Gregor is an enthusiastic tanker. Coming from a family of tankers, and being a military brat himself, Gregor was obviously going to become interested in tanks, especially at an early age. However, because Klaus was still a child at that time, he was relegated to playing realistic tank simulators. When he was enrolled into Fulda West, Gregor immediately joined the tankery team. He is obsessed with fast-firing automatic weapons.

Relationships: Arvad: Arvad is Klaus’ caretaker. Klaus dislikes Arvad’s insistence on how Klaus should take more initiative. The two have a commensalist relationship, where Klaus benefits while Arvad is slightly inconvenienced, however Klaus still cares about Arvad. Gregor: Gregor is extremely perplexed by how Klaus can be so lazy. Despite this, Gregor chalks up Klaus' laziness as the latter not getting enough sleep, and Klaus easily takes advantage of Gregor's friendliness. Emil: Emil does not understand how Klaus can be so lazy. Because of that, Emil tries to motivate Klaus, obviously to no avail, and much to the former’s confusion.

Born in Germany, Klaus was raised in a rich household where his needs were pandered. He is somewhat unremarkable, other than his love for manga, laziness, and tendency to get drunk on root beer. He is a very proficient driver. Klaus is a Fulda West student. He relies heavily on Arvad to get stuff like homework or chores done.

Klaus’ laziness is attributed to his wealthy upbringing. Klaus is extremely intelligent, but most of it is suppressed by his own refusal to put in effort.

Personality: Motivated: Emil is always ready to do anything with a smile. Chuunibyou: Emil greatly suffers from this trope.

Naive: Emil view his world with rose-tinted glasses, even people who are considered bad.

Arvad moderates Emil’s chuunibyou behavior, while Emil tends to be the most optimistic of the group, and by using grand gestures, he manages to motivate Arvad enough to continue on.
