!!Roy and Beaure

A pair of reporters that work for the Berg newspaper company, located in Stohess District. While responding to the street-battle between the Special Operations Squad and the Anti-Human Suppression Squad, they find themselves becoming entangled in the growing revolution.

* BystanderSyndrome: Roy has long since embraced this attitude, understanding all too well the risk of doing more.
* GoingForTheBigScoop: Beaure ''wants'' to do this, but the older and more experienced Roy knows how the world works well enough to hold him back.
* GovernmentConspiracy: Roy discusses it with his younger associate, pointing out how the government uses the newspapers for propaganda and has spies planted in every single company to control what information gets released.
* HopeIsScary: Roy firmly believes that even if they ''did'' report the truth, the government would simply prevent it from reaching the people and silence them.
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: Roy admits this is the reason he gave up on reporting the truth, since he knows the government will hurt his family and friends should he report anything but the official story.
* IntrepidReporter: Beaure is young and inexperienced, and shows eagerness to expose the Central Brigade's actions. In contrast, Roy has been around long enough that he realizes the futility of doing so and advises against it.
* PropagandaMachine: Beaure is disheartened to learn that the newspapers are merely this, while Roy has long since accepted that this is the way things have to be.
** VoiceOfTheResistance: Hange challenges them to be this, bringing them along to witness an EngineeredPublicConfession and encouraging them to print the truth for once.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The lone supporter of the Survey Corps, providing them with funding and protection when most of the government wants them shut down. After the disastrous 57th Expedition, he's unable to shield them from the consequences... but this quickly changes after the Titan Shifters are revealed and kidnap Eren. He orders the Military Police Brigade to the front lines, to support the mission to rescue Eren. With the revelation that he is merely a PuppetKing, however, this becomes questionable.
