User:The Lord of Silence

Greetings, mortals.

I am the Lord of Silence, and in this world I am god!

* ahem*

The Last Reich is a fan-made AU based around the concept of Attack on Titan taking place in an actual historical setting. I'm a big fan of Prussia so naturally that's where I chose to set the story. I was inspired to try and create the setting by Full Metal Alchemist, and its depiction of a society from the early 20th century being involved with all sorts of super natural shenanigans (because I don't care what you say Ed, Alchemy is magic!).

My first attempt was a setting called Atlantis, which was a massive island nation protected by a combination of walls and sea cliffs. This setting actually used fully original characters, and only copied over Titans and ODM Gear from the original. The Last Reich was conceived as a separate potential setting, but over time the two sort of molded together, and here were are!

Originally the story was going to be told in the form of a graphic novel, but I have since dropped that idea. I found that I simply did not have the drive for such a project, nor was I talented enough as an artist. I was also very inexperienced when it came to page composition and dialogue, so a lot of that was kind of rubbish as well. Nowadays I'm trying to tell the story via a medium with which I have a lot more experience and confidence: novelisation. I still wouldn't call myself a very skilled writer by any means, but I'm lot better at that than at drawing comics. Moreover I feel like I can handle the workload of a written version much better.

As this is a non-profit venture, it is altogether unlikely that any material will be written and published at a consistent rate. That said, I will do my best to make sure that what I make is up to snuff and entertaining.

Since I'm the only one who really knows anything about The Last Reich's canon, for the time being I am the only person who will be editing and writing for the wiki. If you're interested in helping out in regards to things like proof reading, chapter summaries and general monitoring of the wiki, please let me know and I'll see what we can work out.

I hope you enjoy reading both the wiki and the stories, just as I have enjoyed creating them.
