Band of Bastards- WW2 Heist/Espionage RP

Jakob Norheim

Name (or known Aliases): Jakob Norheim - Codename "Viking"

Age: 32

Nationality: Norway

Affiliation: Allied SOE-operative, loyalty lies to his homeland and family. The Germans can go and fuck themselves slowly with a rusty pitchfork.

Role: Special Weapons Operative, handling heavy weaponry such as machine guns, mortars, artillery, anti-tank weaponry, improvised weapons and the like.

Appearance:

Jakob Norheim

Jakob is a pretty handsome guy, though not overly muscular or masculine. To the untrained eye, he might look like a happy and kind man, the kind that greets you passing the baker's shop on a Wednesday morning. His hair is blonde, his face cleanly shaven and washed, and his height making him stand nearly 6ft tall. To the die-hard Nazis, he's the perfect aryan. Too bad for them that this kind-looking man is neither kind, nor happy to be complimented by them.

Personality: Jakob's not an overly talkative type of man. When he does decide to talk, it's mostly a short, sarcastic comment followed by him walking away. He doesn't have time for your bullshit, unless you're a friend of his or the talk helps him in taking revenge on the Nazis. It doesn't mean that he loathes his teammates, it simply means that he'd rather be chatty once the mission is over. Then he can crack jokes, enjoy a cold beer and smile. Until then, get out of the way of his .303 Bren light machine gun.

Service History: Jakob didn't have much military training until the cold days of april 1940, when Norway was invaded. While the order to mobilize was sent out (by mail, how brilliant was that?), Jakob made his way north as fast as possible to join the ranks of Norwegian soldiers. He was ready to fight for King and Country. He didn't have to wait for long, as his company was sent out to hastely stop the advancing German forces. While not as well equipt as the Nazis, Jakob's company managed to hold of the Germans for several days, even after suffering heavy casulties, especially close-quarters combat. Jakob himself slowly began to change over the course of that battle, and the following campaign; the further Jakob and the Allied forces were pushed north, the more Jakob focused on killing Germans in as large quantity as possible, and in ever more violent ways. When, in mid-June, the Allied forces were effectivly pulled out of the Norwegian theatre-of-war, Jakob wasn't the man had once been. The cheerful Norwegian who had barely shot at rabbits before the war, was now replaced with a ruthless soldier who didn't give two fucks about the Germans.

That served the Allied High-Command pretty well, and so Jakob was placed in the infamous "Kompani Linge", where his ruthlesness was transformed into precision. He was by the end of 1943 more than a simple soldier; he was a talented commando, skilled in use of various weapons and tactics. No wonder he was sent on so many missions across the European coast between 1940-1943. On one particular mission, Jakob saved a certain British SOE-agent in an information-exchange. That man Jakob came to work with later on, slowly growing something akin a friendship between them.

Jakob's service record includes; several commando-raids on German coastal positions and installations, sabotage-operations behind enemy lines, extraction of Allied operatives and Naval-landings in Italy. And as of lately? Well, let's just say that a certain bird called for assistance in the Eagle's nest, and the "Viking" wouldn't waste any time in answering it.

Other: While Jakob can handle most weapons of both Allied and Axis origin, his weapon of choice is the Bren LMG, the M1911 Colt and his bajonet.

Speaks German fluently, English with an accent, and keeps a collection of German collar-emblems. Most of them are bloody, and you'd be better off not asking how he got them.

Silvio Colani

Name (or known Aliases): Silvio Colani, also known as "Machine gun Colani"

Age: 29

Nationality: Italian American, born and bred New-Yorker

Affiliation: US Army, OSS-Agent. As far as his loyalty, you need only look to his family back in New York to find it. Nothing above or beside the Family. Cross them, no matter if you're American or German, you'll be sorry. Who this family is, that's none of your damn business, so don't ask.

Role: Soldier, close quarters combat
Appearance

Silvio Colani

Personality: Silvio is just what you'd expect from an Italian-American New Yorker; loudmouthed and talkative, brash, easily insulted and fired up. At the other hand, he likes to crack jokes and give witty comments in the middle of battle. He's friendly enough and shows clear loyalty to his friends -at least those he likes in the team-, enough to protect them with his life. That applies to his family, only on a much larger scale. Where others might complete a mission by finesse and precision, Silvio "Machine gun Coloni" blasts his way through trouble with brawns and his beloved Chicago Typewriter.

Service History: Now one thing is important to remember when talking about Silvio's service record; he's been trying to get as far away from home as possible ever since "The Incident" happened to him. What "The Incident" was, he doesn't say, but it was so bad that he willingly joined the Army and went overseas when he just as easy could have stayed home and worked a decent job. His time in the Army however, oh how he likes to brag about it! He served with the US Rangers, 3rd Ranger Battalion, across the North African Coast against the German Afrikacorps. He proved himself to be just as effecient with his drum-magazine M1928A1 Thompson as with a knuckle-knife, earning him the respect and the nickname of "Machine gun Colani", as if he was something of a gangster. Oh if they only knew.

After the victory in North Africa, it was only natural that Silvio and the battalion partake in the invasion of Italy. Silvio started to act a bit odder after they landed on Italian soil, though nobody could figure out why. Perhaps it was the letters he suddenly started recieving? Regardless, his soon proved be just as lucky as he had been skillful. He was one of the few to escape the Battle of Cisterna, where most of the 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions were killed or captured by the Germans. Where a Ranger normally would have been transferred to a new battalion, Silvio was offered to serve in the OSS. No specific reason was given, except his knowledge with Italian language and culture, and his guts. Regardless of this, he served in several operations throughout 1943, gaining new aquentices that he simply couldn't avoid even if he tried to. One such person was a certain British agent, hidden somewhere in Germany and doing God knows what. All he knew was that "someone" needed help with a "train robbery". Good thing Silvio knew how to run a train then.

Other:Silvio brandishes a Thompson M1928A1 sub-machine gun with a drum barrel, even if it isn't standard issue equiptment for the US Army. No one has dared to pull it away from his yet, and so far he likes it that way. Other than that he knows how to and does use most American equiptment, though perhaps a tad more fiercly than others might use them.

He speaks English and Italian fluently, and bits and pieces of German mostly taught in basic training. So he prefers to insults the Krauts in his prefered languages.

Anton G'iscard
"L'étincelle"

Anton looked over at Kaneda as it was he who answered his question first. It surprised him that an Asian such as him had knowledge of this subject, North Africa and Montegomery and all that. Then again he had proven himself not to be like everyone else - as far as Anton had seen these past days-, and so he gave him the benefit of the doubt.

"Drop us out of ze plane behind enemy lines? Then we're not part of ze invasion, we're commandos. Special operatives, secret agents and ze like of zat. But I am in agreement, I would prefer to be informed of our coming tasks sooner rather than later. Anton said towards Kaneda, then watching the others as they sat down and joined the conversation. The Swiss/Germans siblings, Oscar, and the negro soldier named Walther. He had missed out the run earlier today, which made Anton wonder what had happened. But it wasn't in his place to ask, and so he didn't. Instead he turned his attention to Izkry, the male sibling.

"Impossible? Non, mon ami, noz'hing is impossible. I'm ashamed to tell ze truth, but we said t'hat ze Maginot-Line was impossible for ze Germans to break. And z'herefor, impossible for z'em to invade France. Z'hey proved us wrong twice. First by going through la Belgique, and secondly by using ways of using z'heir advantages against our weaknesess. Non mon ami, z'here is a way to invade and liberate France. And La résistance is not enough. One does not liberate a country by attacking ze occupier and then flee away."

It wasn't that Anton was entirely sure of his statemates, but he felt pretty confident in what he said. In that time and age, anything was possible and nothing impossible to achive. There was always a way. And more than anything else, Anton wished and craved to be part of that impossible feat of liberating his country.

Kaneda shot him another question before digging into the meal they had been served. Why he decided to become a pilot and what it felt like flying? While they were good questions, Anton's face showed a sense of mild digust as he saw how Kaneda ate their meal. Being the Frenchman he was, he felt tiny bit insulted on the behalf of the Italians. Nonetheless, he answered. "Long story short, I didn't go as a pilot ze first time. I was an aeroplane mechanic, but ze friends I got allowed me to take a few flights with z'em. At first it was frightening, but z'hen it was simply pure joy. You feel like a bird soaring through ze air, free and willing to do whatever you want! And since I could serve my country where I clearly had skills, z'here wasn't an option really. 'Zhere's no better way of fighting ze Germans than in a M.S.406 fighter plane over ze fields of France." Anton's voice was clearly filled with pride as he answered Kaneda, even a smile formed on his lips as he spoke of the things he loved.

The smile faded however, as talk of a second race up the mountain started and the others wanted to look. Anton wouldn't join. Regardless of the quality of the food they were eating, it was still inpolite to rush it down and get out. Especially the way the others ate the spaghetti. No, Anton folded his hands and quietly said a short prayer, before beginning to eat. He rolled a small batch of spaghetti around his fork and delicately placed it in his mouth without slurping. Barbarians...
