[img]https://preview.ibb.co/d8g62v/image.jpg[/img] ______________________________________________________________________ [b]Hello fellow Roleplayers, thank you for your time, for I have a keen idea for a Roleplay to share with and propose to the lot of you.[/b] [i]Having recently ended a World War II movie binge that consisted of "Kelly's Heroes", "The Great Escape", "Wind Talkers", and "Saving Private Ryan", I have been inspired to create a long term Roleplay set within the hellish setting of the Second World War. This will be a Character Roleplay, with each player creating a single character for themself, and then doing all that they can to ensure their characters' survival throughout the war, as well as watching the backs of their brothers in arms and carrying out their duties to the bitter end, wether that be their death or the destruction of the Axis Powers. It won't be easy, in fact it will be a long, hard slog onward to Berlin and Japan, and it will not come without a price of blood and despair. Now, with that charming introduction aside, out with the details. [/i] ______________________________________________________________________ [b]YOUR CHARACTER[/b] [hider=Hider] Your character is a recently deployed infantryman that has little to no field experience and absolutely no record of combat whatsoever. The only true restrictions aside from mandatory infantryman placement is the ranking branch, which is from PFC (Private First Class) to Staff Sergeant. However, as the Roleplay progresses your rank can increase, provided your actions in combat situations merit such. The highest potential rank in the Role-play will be Colonel. Your character will also be eligible for commendations and medals, should of course their actions in combat merit such. As for the MOS, or specialty of your soldier, it spans across a diverse list of options such as Rifleman, Medic, Combat Engineer, and so on. A detailed list will be provided in the official OP thread. Throughout the course of the Roleplay you will find yourself thrown into a vast course of hot-spot events, wether it be borderline skirmishes, full bore line penetration attacks, defensive battles, or hit n' run fast attacks. It's up to you to fufill your duties, follow your orders, keep your mind clear, and stay alive. [/hider] [b]AN ISSUE FOR DEBATE[/b] [hider=THE ISSUE] [img]https://image.ibb.co/mPNvxv/image.jpg[/img] [b]Tis a simple question for debate; The European Front, or the Pacific Theatre? [/b] This issue is open to discussion and voting, and is really the only issue to be addressed before I boot up the official OP. Should the voting outcome demand the European Front, then our characters shall be members of The Big Red One, fighting through the hell that is Normandy Beach on D-Day, and onward through France, as well as Belgium and Holland, and eventually onward into Germany itself, kicking down Hitler's front door. [b]However,[/b] should the vote lean superiorly towards the Pacific Theatre of Operations, then our characters shall be Marines who find themselves surviving the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, fighting through the jungles of Guadalcanal, and saluting the raising flag over Iwo Jima. Either way, there will be more than enough fun and destruction. Once this issue has been voted on and resolved, provided enough interest has been accumulated, I will then release the OP thread. [/hider] [b][color=fff200]I'm aware that this interest check is not very detailed and rather patchy at that, but this is more or less for attracting interest and players. Far, far more detail and information will be divulged in the official OP Thread. This includes of course the official Character Sheet, the ranking system, pay system regarding rank, R&R between missions and battles, and posting order. [/color][/b]
