[OOC] Hell on Earth: Life in the Trenches (A World War I military RP)

[Lord Coake]

Plot:

1916: The Great War is in full swing as the German Empire is attacked by British and French forces at the Battle of the Somme. This battle would be regarded as one of the bloodiest, and by some one of the most pointless, battles in human history. This battle would also be significant in that it saw the first use of the tank, or land-ship, on the field of war. Trench warfare played a large aspect in this battle, and in the lives of the soldiers involved on all sides. Life in the trenches had a large impact on the troops, with disease and infestation running rampant. Described as a veritable "Hell on Earth", many soldiers would struggle to recover, with some failing to recover at all....

Definitely putting in my interest here. WWI is one of the most fascinating and criminally underrated (if a war can be underrated) of all time periods and wars.

I'm thinking about playing on the French side, probably a simple village boy from the south of France.

As I said in the Interest Guide, I am being drawn into this. WWI is alone one of the best subjects to cover and I am even more surprised that it is located mid-war, making it more interesting.

I guess if I have to, a British Lance Corporal, Farm Boy? Would that be acceptable?

@babbysama@LetMeDoStuffBoth character concepts sound great. Go ahead and put CS apps in the characters section, and I'll let you both know if/when they are accepted.
