Military Branch Role Generator (Attack on Titan)

The three branches at a glance

Attack on Titan splits its military into the Survey Corps, the Garrison Regiment, and the Military Police Brigade. The Survey Corps rides beyond the walls and faces titans head-on, suffering brutal casualty rates in exchange for the chance to reclaim humanity's freedom. The Garrison maintains the walls themselves, training cadets, manning cannons, and coordinating evacuations. The Military Police, drawn from the top ten cadets of each class, work in the interior cities and answer to the royal government. A role generator grounded in these branches gives you instant context.

Roles you might roll

Within each branch there are dozens of jobs that are easy to overlook. A Survey Corps soldier might be a squad leader, ODM gear technician, horse handler, scout, signal flare operator, or field medic. A Garrison member could be a wall sentry, gate operator, cannon crew chief, refugee coordinator, or training instructor for the cadets. The Military Police include city patrol officers, royal escorts, interrogators, archive clerks, and members of the more secretive First Interior Squad. Each role implies a different daily life and a different set of moral compromises.

Building a character around a role

Once you have a role, ask three quick questions. Why did this person choose, or get pushed into, this branch? What is the worst day they have had on the job? Who outranks them, and how do they feel about that person? A Garrison cannon crew chief who lost half her squad in the fall of Shiganshina is a very different character from a fresh Military Police archive clerk who has never seen a titan. The role gives you the skeleton, and your answers add the muscle.

Using results in fan projects

For fan fiction, drop the role into your character's introduction so readers immediately know where they stand. For tabletop play, the role tells the game master what missions to throw at the party, from supply runs in Trost to undercover work in Mitras. Reroll until you find a duty that sparks a story you actually want to tell.
