[OOC] Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

[shylarah]

@TheUnknowable As a Jew myself, I would not be offended and in fact encourage this, as it will allow better exploration of the world they're living in.

[TheUnknowable]

@shylarahIt's kind of hard to play a culture you aren't that familiar with. If I did play a Jewish character, it would mostly be in name only, unless there was an obvious opening, like the opportunity to taunt a Nazi, or it was around Christmas time (so I could be alienated from the team's holiday celebration or be a loner and do Hannukkah (chanukkah?) myself.

You would be able to play them much better.

[shylarah]

@TheUnknowable Mm, true. I often end up doing research when I want to be accurate for things, and even then I know I get stuff wrong.

I think the biggest difference here would be how the character feels about the fight, though. Then again, Americans didn't really know how bad things were under Nazi rule until after the war was over, in many cases.

And you can spell Chanukkah about a dozen different ways in English. =P

@shylarah@TheUnknowable

I know the feeling. I'm australian and not really religious at all; I don't think I've even met a Mormon in person, but I did my research and I hope that I can present the religion in a positive light.

@MegaOscarPwn Could you elaborate how Oscar got to the United States? I mean, this RP is set basically a few months after the Westminster League, and Oscar still was a part of the League. As part of the military/intelligence network, you just don't "move" to a different country or army freely. Or we're dealing with a Dobbelganger.

@Oak7ree

I think you mean Doppelgänger, and yeah, sure, I can elaborate. Maybe, after the League was dissolved, he had to run away from France once again and he settled in the USA? Maybe he had to traverse the frontier of Spain and then grab a plane there, because in that time a lot of Spaniards moved to America.

[Oak7ree]

@MegaOscarPwn A few Allied pilots who were downed over France, tried fleeing to Spain and from there traveled to Britain, for example. Simply moving to US without reporting to the British military could be labeled as desertion, so either, for example, make Oscar go to Britain via Spain, report to the authorities and get assigned to the TSF via the cooperation of the SOE and OSS. Or, Oscar says "Screw it!", flees to Casablanca, gets a visa and travels to the US, gets caught by the authorities and is taken back into service and assigned to the TSF.

@Oak7ree

Yeah, deserting is something Óscar would do if everything went wrong.

[shylarah]

@MegaOscarPwn @Oak7ree ahhaa, but the question is how much trouble did he get into? Belasy will be furious with him if she finds out. ...And Izkry will be thrilled he's alive.

[MegaOscarPwn]

@shylarah Knowing Óscar, he probably went unnoticed most of the time, he's quite good at sneaking.

Although he isn't the best at resisting temptations such as bars (and maybe disrupting a lonely nazi patrol)

Not to intrude (if I'm doing so), but I'd like to peak my interest in this RP. If I decide to apply, would an exiled Soviet super-soldier be possible?

@ONL

Well, according to the source (AKA my original RP,) the Soviets had their own version of the Westminster League, so it'd be unlikely unless this one has something different.

[ONL]

@Lady SeluneUnless he was specifically sent to fight along the Westminster League by Premiere Stalin himself, I'll think of something else. Possibly someone from Nazi-occupied Europe?

@ONL

That's where most of the WLOEI came from, so go ahead!

[ONL]

@Lady SeluneAlrighty then, I'll do my best!

[Oak7ree]

@ONL In the original RP, there where Italian, French, Polish, English, Swiss and Spanish supers, so don't be shy.

And I have a couple ideas on the couple first missions. The thing is, do we want first a mission shere we prevent a political assasination either Washington or New York, or does the TSF take part in the St Nazaire raid (operation Chariot) in France?

[KaiserElectric]

World War 2.....superheroes. *froths at the mouth*

As a massive Cap fan, suffice it to say I'm interested. Are you still accepting new players?

[Kessir Tarkin]

Character sheet will be up soon.

[Indy Cooper]

Also verra much interested in this. Especially if'n I could do up a French Resistance fighter.

[Inuyasha]

This is an amazing idea, I would love to interject myself into this.
