I don't like Uchihas in these role-plays. Their OP by nature, even if you say you won't rp them that way.

OP by nature because their stupid eyes allow them to basically cast genjutsu by looking at people. Hard to RP without coming across as a powergamer.

I was wondering if it was possible for there to be a Scout of some sorts? If not I'll probably go Radioman or Medic. I also have an idea on a German character later on once you allow us, if you'd like to hear it.

Read up on the OOC. I have added some info. Scout meaning.. sniper? Then no.

Yo, Partisan, I'd like to make a second character that belongs to your clan if that's possible. Would you do me a solid and send me any notes I'd need or guidelines you've got? Maybe a family tree?

You're asking for stuff that I had on oldguild. I'd need to work it up again and I don't think I can do that so fast that you'd be able to get a 2nd character in before the registration ends.

Just look at the clan sheet I posted together with my character, and comply with the guidelines I put there.

You want me to post my character here or in the OOC?

OOC, pretty please.

Good lad, I knew you'd take my criticism well.

The OOC is up, enjoy.

The March to Novgorod -- Death to Fascists! -- WW2 Eastern Front RP

The March to Novgorod! -- Death to fascists!
The Sacred War.



IC info:

SOLDIER! Pack your bags and get ready to march! High command has seen fit to order us to liberate the city of Novgorod in Western Russia from fascist rule in the Leningrad-Novgorod offensive. Our unit, which is a part of the 54th Army, Volkhov-front, is tasked with the liberation of a small village in the vicinity of Novgorod. After that liberation, which should be a quick one given the strength of our unit compared to the enemies, we are to move on to Novgorod itself to lead the front charge.

Our total army strength is estimated to be 260 600 men according to the Soviet files, however these numbers are for the entire army, not our unit. Our own diviziya, or division is estimated to have around 12 000 men, but this would include our armored and airborne support troops. Our squad however is focussed primarily around infantry, with a few sub-squads within our squad. These would include riflemen, using the mainly the Mosin-nagant bolt action rifle, the assault squad, which would use any type of Submachine gun they were given, and supportive members which should be able to fit in either of those roles, such as the radioman, the medic and a underofficer. Besides that, we'll have a T-34-85 assigned to us, to personally support and help us where ever it's possible.

God bless comrades, and remember: za Rodinu! Za Stalina!

OOC info:

As of today your character will be part of Zaburdajev's squad, a veteran of the Red Army, who has seen his fair share of combat. He was involved in the invasion of Poland in unison with the Germans, however nobody would've seen it coming that Germany would attack their Eastern neighbours, with whom they had shared Poland at first. Your characters will be part of the offensive on Nym-storovje, a small idyllic city which has fallen to the German blitzkrieg. Stalin and his commanders have seen fit to order the retaking of this city, on the way from Leningrad to Novgorod. The characters can be either veterans from the preceding times (1939 to 1944, perhaps from the invasion of Poland) or can be fresh conscripts sent to the front with nothing more than a gun and some ammunition, to replace losses in the squad. There will also be a tank present: a T-34-85. This tank was efficiently the 'showcase' tank for Russian tanks -- when you think of a Russian world war 2 tank, this is the one.

the T-34-85

This tank commander position has been taken by now, however positions will be available for within the tank (2 gunners, driver).
The T-34 has a pretty solid armament, a good engine that can produce a pretty high speed for a medium tank, and armor that reaches 90mm thickness. The engine is the V-2-34 V-12 dieselengine, which allows the tank to drive up to 55KM/h, but that's only for hardened roads or comparable terrain, as it doesn't do as well off-road. The cannon is the 85 mm ZiS-S-53 cannon, and it also has 2 DT machine guns (one mounted below on the chassis, next to the drivers sight, the other directly aside the turret) however these machine guns were also used by the infantry, so you shouldn't expect too much killing power.

There will be NPC's in the story as well -- Soviets/Germans that we meet during our assault who will play small roles. Think of a certain German commander that we find killed in the streets, or a Russian squad that we meet by chance who will asisst us doing task x or y. Also, tanks. For instance a KV-2 being contacted on the radio by the tank commander, who then assists us for a short time. In some time however I'll probably allow people to take over NPC's on the German side for fun, i.e if there's a specific sniper or an enemy tank, I'll let them be played by a person that's interested in doing so.

Either way I hope to have interested you enough to partake in this RP. If you are interested please fill out the character sheet and post it -- for ease, you can press 'view raw' in the top right corner of my post and see the raw BB codes of this post, from there on you can copy them. Za Stalina!

Character list:

Ondrej Anton Zaburdajev

Ondrej Zaburdajev
31, 1913, squad leader



Full name: Ondrej Anton Zaburdajev
Age: 31
Gender: Male.
Personality: Ondrej would've been the perfect political officer if it hadn't been for his love of combat -- he was invited into the political officers' brigade, but declined due to his wish to serve in the regular infantry. He was then promoted to be an officer due to his political alignment with the communists, his favorable skills in leadership, combat and sacrificial tendencies.

He is brotherly outside of combat, opting to give his men rest, food, drink and a warm fire at night over a forced march. As an officer, he is not supposed to mingle with his men too much outside of combat -- however this is unavoidable during prolonged campaigns -- so he has chosen to simply accept that it happens and to embrace it. In battle, however, he expects his orders to be followed down to the comma's, full stops and exclamation marks. As was said, he was invited to the political officers' brigade, which should say enough about what happens if you ignore orders.

He's a firm communist, believing that revolution should bring equality all over the world. Therefore he shouts the words 'Za roduna, za Stalina!' with much pleasure, as he believes in the great leader Iosef Stalin. Therefore he believes that the liberation of German lands will only benefit the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In short: stay on Ondrej's good side.
Brief history: Ondrej served in the army during the assault on Poland, where the Soviets and the Germans divided the Polish lands as if it were a cake waiting to be shared. And even though he felt compassion for the Polish, he served the goals of the Soviet Union because he'd realized that the people were better off under proper, communist Soviet rule. The people in Poland weren't really being oppressed either way -- he felt he was doing them a service.

During the few years of peace that he had, he spent most of his time getting accustomed to serving with a squad, as he had been appointed squad leader by now. He was taught basic squad tactics, leadership and communication. He got accustomed with a radio and has some experience communicating between a tank and himself. He got pushed back into the front and was involved in the initial defence of Leningrad, fighting amongstside heroes of the Union and common infantry alike.

It appears that he was chosen to lead the initial charge on the city due to his brutal effectiveness in head on combat, fearlessness and other such things however this remains to be proven -- he can succeed or fail depending on his team.
Role: Squad leader -- assault.
Expertise: Leadership, leading from the front, fearless, assaulting and tactics.
Weaponry:

1x Tokarev TT-30, a handgun.
1x PPS, a (lightweight) submachine gun.
2x RG-42, fragmentation grenade.
2x RGD, smoke grenade type.

Higashi, Reiji.

I'll break your character down DaDrummer -- gotta evaluate this as Hillie asked me to (cause he's lazy).

Basics: they're alright. Can't say much about your name or anything so.. yea.

History and personality, dreams: looks to be quite fine, well thought out. Seems we have a few clan heads/heirs but that's aight. I'll probably end up having Kanajiro challenge you just cause you put that there, be warned.

General strengths: Intelligent, large chakara pool, proficient in ninjutsu and taijutsu, and adequate chakara control.

General weaknesses: Although he is smart he is easily impacted by his emotions, he prefers to keep to himself, team work will be hard for him because he has no friends, Higashi's can only learn or create Beast Release Jutsu outside of academy techniques, and he is still a teenager and lacks wisdom.

General strengths/weaknesses: Gets wonky here. You have general strengths that are ranging from.. very good strengths to less good strengths, but they're all still pretty good. Especially since you have a large chakra pool, and adequate control over it. These are usually +1 -1 for genin, meaning that either 1 of them is good, or they are both average. It might be best to ommit 1 of them, or just make them both average. You can focus on one later, but I'd say that if you choose 1 specific one (i.e high chakra control) it'd be hard to suddenly increase your chakra pool. Get it?

Not only that but your weaknesses are.. not so objective. Gets easily impacted by his emotions, prefers to keep to himself, teamwork is hard for him.. seems like these are traits and not neccesarily weaknesses. One can be perfectly fine without teamwork -- kill 100 shinobi solo. Does that make it a weakness to him that he's bad at teamwork? Not really, right?

Higashi's can only learn or create Beast Release Jutsu outside of academy techniques

This is not a weakness considering that in the same breath you state;

Beast Release is a very diverse ability that has many techniques.

Kiba never used anything but a similar technique-style to your KG. Did this make him weak? It's not called weakness, it's a specialization. The Hyuga's also didn't even bother using normal styled techniques -- their kekkei genkai was more than enough. Meanwhile Hyuga are one of the most OP clans in the entire series -- even more so than the overrated Uchiha.

So in short, downscale the strengths, upscale the weaknesses to more relevant objective stuff.

Other than that, the custom jutsu seem to be pretty wel scaled though I'd like a bit more info on the dragon jutsu. How good are the fireballs? I think you should divide the dragon jutsu and the dragon-fire breath into two different jutsu.

Equipment is perfectly fine.

Lets hope I didn't completely wreck your hopes for this RP -- all this is in good faith.
