This RP is a reboot of one begun by Sarejo and he asked me to take it over when he discovered he did not have the time to act as an OP.
Blood of Brothers
The year is 1861. War has broken out in the USA, with a group of southern states seceding from the Union. Thousands of young men rush to sign up, splitting families and old friends apart. Now two armies, both of the same lineage and history, march on each other. This will evolve into the bloodiest war in American history, where Brothers shed each other's blood. Welcome to the First Manassas, the first battle of the war.
All accepted applications from Sarejo's original RP are transferred over to this one as per his request so if you had applied in the original RP and want to join this new version just link back to your application filled out in the original.
There are a couple small changes to my version from the original.
1. I'd like a short biography of your individual character.
2. Characters are no longer in charge of a platoon, you've been promoted to Captain and command an entire company.
3. I'm restricting this RP to infantry only.
4. For simplicity's sake both sides will be using the same organizational structure. Each army is further split into Corpse, each Corpse consists of four Divisions of four Brigades of four Regiments. Each Regiment has ten companies designated A through K. Each company has a starting strength of 100 active soldiers.
5. I will most likely be sitting on the sidelines in this RP, I have an app with a character and company but its for demonstration purposes and I will only actively participate in the RP if I feel like its needed. I'll serve as a kind of post judge determining how well or poorly you lead your soldiers in battle based on your IC posts and assign casualties. I will also be the generals for both armies so I'm playing the part of Generals Irving McDowell and PGT Beauregard as well as all the lesser generals and colonels in the army that will give you orders.
Rules
1. Read all of the rules here and in the character app section before making an application.
2. No godmodding. Godmodding is here defined as taking actions on behalf of other players without their prior consent, taking massive world changing actions without clearance from myself, and assuming that your attempt to affect another player will automatically succeed.
3. Treat each other with respect in the OOC. If you are obnoxious or habitually rude to other players I reserve the right to cull you from this RP and its OOC.
4. Follow all the site rules. If you are violating the site rules in my IC or OOC I will call the wrath of mod down upon you as well as erase your existence in this RP.
5. Profanity, nudity, and violence, are all perfectly fine but make sure to keep things PG13. If you think Hollywood would give it an R rating then tone things down.
6. In my absence the word of my Co-OPs is law.
7. Fun is MANDATORY!
