ooc World War II: Battle of the Bulge

[Derplight Sperkle 1,013]

This is a tough decision....but since I can't be my soviet sniper (will update bio soon) I will vote ze Battle of the Bulge

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

So are we doing Battle of the Bulge?

[Wardaddy 470]

The majority has spoken. I will begin rewriting the opening post for this thread.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

YES! I really wanted to do this battle. I'll make my guy now. When's this gonna start by the way?

[Wardaddy 470]

Once everyone has signed in their new OCs, I will start the RP as soon as I can. As I type, I'm preparing to go to bed, so I can't do it now. For the time being, everyone needs to write up a fresh character sheet if they wish to join. 

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

I made mine

Here's my new RP character

Name: Jacob Griffen

Rank: Private

Apperance: brown hair. Stubble. Brown eyes.

Personality: Loyal to his fellow soldiers. Fearless.

Uniform: Standard US Army uniform. US army trench coat. M1 helmet. 'Shoepack' combat boots.

Here it is. Tell me if I'm missing something on him. Edited August 3, 2014 by Lighting Bell

Actually, thinking of it. I think i'll draw my character. That would be my way to set it to one, instead of changing it every second.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

When is this gonna start? I'm about to blow up from waiting. FireBolt you should do what USMCBrony141 did. Keep all this locations and then slowly one by one RP on them.

So... do I need to re-submit a character?

[Wardaddy 470]

So... do I need to re-submit a character?

No, but you do need to edit your character's backstory to fit with the canon. It's up to you on what part of the war you choose to be in before the battle, but you need to have your character on the Western Front by the time the Germans begin assembling their forces. I assume there's no problem with that?

[HigurSan 195]

Wait, what in my characters backstory doesn't fit with canon?

[Wardaddy 470]

As part of the armoured division pushing into the heart of Russia, he has helped his men and their tanks to survive the severe Russian weather. But as winter approaches his skills will surely be put to the test.

You need to edit that part so he joins the divisions on the Western Front ahead of the battle. As I said before, I trust there should be no problems with that?

Hey FireBolt do you have to have a backstory? Cuz I'm trying to think of a backstory for my guy and can't think of any ideas.

[Wardaddy 470]

No no no it's completely optional. You could just say your character has a past he doesn't like to talk about. 

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Hmm. I will try to think of some ideas but if I can't I will use that. When's this gonna start FireBolt?

[Wardaddy 470]

As soon as I get around to it. Sorry, I've been very busy lately.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Alright here's my character finished

Name: Jacob Griffin

Rank: Private

Appearance: Brown hair, stubble, brown eyes

Primary Weapon: M1 Garand

Side Arm: Colt M1911

Personality: Battle hardened. Will give you the time of day. Loyal to his fellow soldiers

Uniform: Standard US Army uniform. US army trench coat. M1 helmet. 'Shoepack' combat boots.

Backstory: Jacob landed and fought at Normandy. His experience there is what hardened him into the soldier he is know. At Normandy while fighting to capture a German occupied village he was wounded. When his wound healed he was put back into the Army's ranks. And it was just in time for him to fight in the Bulge.

Made some minor backstory alterations to be contemporary:

 

Name&Rank: 1st Lt. Will Fouquets (pronounced foo-k)

Country: USA

Primary Weapon: Springfield M1903A4

Sidearm: Colt M1911A1

Uniform: 75th Army Ranger uniform, wears a crimson sash around his waist.

Personality: Focused and disciplined, Will is predisposed to being a lone wolf, rarely traveling with 

more than one other person acting as his spotter. This is not due to a lack of amiability though. While at 

first quiet around those he doesn't know, Will can be rather boisterous when with his friends.

Backstory: Born in 1919 in the town of Liberty, Virginia, Will joined the United States Army at the age of 

21 after graduating from college. While in training he received several commendations for his skill with a 

rifle, prompting him to apply for advanced training. In 1941 he graduated from Scout Sniper school and 

joined the 1st Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment. He has served in multiple conflicts, the latest of 

which was the Battle of Cisterna, among only 6 out of 760 who survived the attack. He has recently 

returned to action from recovery leave.

I put my gun and side arm in my description of my character. Also how many people are doing this and how many are are on the U.S. side?

[HigurSan 195]

Hey, due to some real life issues I regrettably have to withdraw from this roleplay. I hope y'all have a good time with it!

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

 

FireBolt can you pm me when this starts?

[RainbowDashie 767]

I have been meaning to draw my character, but i keep forgetting... Darnit.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]
