AFTER WORLD (Relaunch/World-building/Interest)

[New Jordslag]

I'd assume they are as open as any Nazi military unit.

Well, some units would be more......... 'welcoming' of the occult.

Hmm. Well, it's impossible to tell about the Rank-and-file troops, but the commander at this time, Paul Hausser, the commander of Das Reich at the time, would be fairly welcoming to Occult Matters, so long as it didn't interfere with other matters too much. Although he would be rather impatient, and would want results quickly.

Although he probably wasn't transported here with us, bringing us back to square one. Then again, he might have rubbed off on some of the Das Reich officers who were transported here.

[TriStates]

The Waffen-SS Das Reich unit could use one though.

Hmmmm. How open to the Occult are the Das Reich ? Can I warp them ?

Sure, why not.

Character class should be 3rd Waffen SS Panzer Brigade DR, Faction Allegiance is Wehrmacht, and his age is incorrect. Birthdate 1910 + 36 years of age would make the current year 1946, instead of 1940.

IC Launch set for tomorrow. Its offical guys. The maps are set, I'm finishing the announcments page, and the Co-Op Box is where it belongs

BOOM

The Petrograd Maelstrom
The year was 1917. In Petrograd, the capital of the Russian Empire, Bolshevik revolutionaries stormed the Winter Palace, the former home of Tsar Nicholas II and the current headquarters of the Provisional Government. They soon took control of the building, a victory that would do much to help the revolutionaries' cause. Truly, the palace was a great prize, but the greatest wasn't discovered until a few hours later. It was then that a soldier happened to make a fantastic discovery: the Tsar's personal wine cellar, which contained over $91 million of the world's finest wines, whiskeys, cognacs, and vodkas. Naturally, being a communist, this soldier shared this discovery with his comrades, and they, being communists as well, shared it with the rest of the city. In fact, the city got so drunk that they had to temporarily put the Russian Revolution on hold. At first, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, allowed the people of Petrograd to have their fun. Then the man Lenin appointed as commissar of the Winter Palace got drunk off his ass, and Lenin got pissed.

In order to fix the drunken mess that was Petrograd, whatever officials weren't completely wasted decided that the best option would be to flood the wine cellar, cutting off the people from their booze. However, that didn't deter them, and they simply dove in after it. Their next plan was to throw bottles of wine into the frozen Neva River, believing that nobody would be stupid enough to risk dying from drowning or hypothermia. They were wrong. As a last resort, they smashed the bottles and poured them into the streets. People just ended up diving into gutters and fighting each other over liquor-stained snow. Eventually, they just gave up. Over a month later, the city finally drank itself dry, and began to restore some semblance of anything not resembling an Irish frat house. Of course, what most people don't remember is that about a week before the booze ran out, a major blizzard hit on the outskirts of the city. This blizzard was really a maelstrom, and sucked in roughly thirty drunken soldiers, fifty or so drunken peasants, and several buildings. These were all dumped in the Æsir version of Petrograd: a stretch of forests on either side of the Neva River, with the Neva Bay at the end.

Leningrad and First Contact
Over the next two weeks, the roughly seventy people that didn't die from freezing to death or alcohol poisoning began building shelter for themselves out of the wreckage that came with them and the resources they could gather from the surrounding area. The first huts soon became shacks, and those shacks soon became cabins. After awhile, a new settlement emerged, which was christened Leningrad by the settlers. It wasn't much, really... a few dozen houses, a stockade, a watchtower, a barracks and armory, and a doctor's office. Still, it was the best they had. Though the harsh Russian winter battered them, in reality, it was keeping their small settlement safe from greater dangers. Unbeknownst to them, this was a world not ruled by humans. In what the humans of Earth referred to as Scandinavia, there was another nation. A nation of wolf men (calling themselves Lupians), known as the Ulven Reich. It just so happened that on the other side of the forests surrounding Leningrad, there was a Lupian settlement. The winter had been keeping them in their homes, but as spring came, hunting parties began to head out for food and resources. On March 3, 1918, one of these hunting parties arrived at Leningrad.

The resulting situation was... not good. The wolves, being wolves, reacted aggressively to these strange creatures on their territory, and the humans, being humans, immediately tried to kill everything that was unfamiliar to them. Before even trying to negotiate, the wolves were firing flaming arrows at the stockade, and the humans were firing their rifles from the watchtower. After several waves and roughly two dozen deaths on both sides, the Lupians retreated. Similar skirmishes occurred once every few days for the next month or so, although none as large as the first. By mid April, both sides (although the Lupians more so) were bloodied enough that they were willing to sit down and negotiate. Negotiations failed, and there were two more weeks of fighting before a second attempt was made. These negotiations were more successful, and a compromise was made. Leningrad would become a part of the Ulven Reich, and in turn its citizens, now significantly weakened by the conflict, would be given the same rights as Lupian citizens. For awhile, things were great. Until they weren't.

Growth and Isolation
Flash forward to the year 1928. By this point, the humans had been fully integrated into Lupian society. Leningrad grew from a population of only fifty to almost three thousand. Humans and Lupians alike (but mostly Lupians) lived there, making families, running businesses, and so on. Things, however, were not as pleasant as they seemed. A rift was opening up in the Reich, between the easterners who had been influenced by the communist ideals of the humans and the more conservative westerners. Every few months, some kind of protest would be broken up, and there were small riots in 1920, 1923, and 1927. The situation grew more drastic in 1928, when dragons began moving into the territory of the Reich. Efforts were made to stop their further encroachment, but it was all in vain. By 1930, Leningrad and the towns around it were completely cut off from the Reich. By January, word had stopped coming from the west.

Revolution and Intervention
As contact with the Reich broke off, those left behind began to panic. By January 10, rioting had ensued in Leningrad and other cities, as people feared for the worst. What remained of the Reich's military tried to enforce martial law in order to end the rioting, but the situation only grew worse. Riots only worsened for the next few months, and public support for the Reich plummeted. Finally, tensions boiled over in May. Rallying around a young Lupian communist, the people of Leningrad rose up against the Reich on May 5, 1930. At first, however, things went badly for the revolutionaries. While their numbers were far greater, the city garrison was better fortified, better trained, and better equipped. After only about a week of skirmishes, things were looking bad. Conveniently, just as things seemed like they were done for, some unlikely help arrived. On the morning of May 11, 1930, an army arrived at the walls of Leningrad, consisting of vampires and other dark races that had been sent from the south. Within a day, this army had linked up with the revolutionaries and routed the garrison, capturing Leningrad before moving onto the rest of the region. By May 28, 1930, the forces of the Reich had been soundly defeated in the east, and the Ulven Commune was proclaimed.

The Last Ten Years
Following the end of the conflict, Torin Lupis, the twenty-one year old head of the Lupis pack and the Lupian responsible for rallying the people of Leningrad at the start of the revolution, was elected as chairman of the Leningrad Soviet, then of the Soviet of the Central District, and finally to the National Soviet, gaining him the title of Premier. Following his election, he negotiated a series of deals with the vampires of the south, arranging for their armies to help defend the Commune, as well as for money and the importation of much needed resources. In return, products produced by the Commune, the most important of which was primitive firearms, would be exported to the southern vampires. Clearly, this was a good deal... at least, it seemed to be one. Within a week of his election, Premier Lupis was approached by one Lord Gabriel Morelli, a vampire noble and their ambassador to the Commune. Two hours later, the two left the room together, with the Premier completely under the vampire lord's control. Other Commune officials had similar meetings, and before long the Commune was essentially a puppet state. The Lupians were allowed to keep their communist society, and the vampires gained a source of food, labor, and weapons. As of 1940, the people of the Commune are happy and productive, oblivious to the vampire influence looming over them.

But imagine. You're performing your first robbery at a bank under reconstruction. It's midnight. You're grabbing the money, everything's going well, and then the lights flicker. And then they go out. One of your buddies goes upstairs to check it out. Five seconds later, you hear a body hit the floor. Another dude goes, and you hear a short burst of gunfire, before another body hits the floor. The lights flicker again, just long enough to see a huge, black figure, gliding over the rafters. Is that a bat? No, it couldn't be, but you go to check it out with another dude, who's at your right. All of a sudden, he's gone, and you can hear the screams. You fire your gun into the air, screaming, "Who-who- are you??!!" You hear a man, no, not a man, a beast, a monster's reply as a growl, and a whisper too...."I'm Batman."
