Trenchies (OOC/OPEN)

Trenchies

A WW1 meets Gone with the Blast Wave Steam punk RP

App Archive IC

It all started in 1914 when the Blues and the Grey's yelled at each other for something. An Archduke assassinated and alliances in action. When the Grey's and Whites attacked the offencive quickly slowed down despite the Magical technological advances in 1913, something about ancient Nordic magic and alien burial sites. It's a long story. Anyway trench warfare quickly started and lines formed all around the borders of France and Germany, Italy and Austria Hungary and the Ottomans, who aren't tables as I quickly learned.

In 1917 the Russians had some big hooplah. Something about communism and lenin what ever or who ever that is. Besides that they left the war soon after and are actually doing preety well besides purging the Czars family and Remnants of the old government. The Germans could move troops to the western front and the war would go even longer when the Dough Republic of America came in. Casualties mounted and when it seemed a big offencive was comeing it didn't happen. Eventually we all just sat in Trenches and waited for something. Sometimes we just ran out into Dead man's land and looked at the big craters. Those people were promptly shot by the other side. It's 1919 now and we have no idea why were still fighting and some of us don't know how it started. All we know is we saw a recruitment poster and it was foggy from there on.

Now the civilians call us Trenchies. People who just sit in ditches all day and take pot shots across a ludicrously large empty waste land. And sometimes charge across only to run back to our trenches and count the dead we could see from where we were. Tanks did almost nothing to change the war and are extremely un reliable. Planes only acted as target practice and didn't do a damn thing other than get fancy names like "Albatross" and "Sopwith camel". So that's all we really do. Sit in a ditch and count the days.

We don't know why were fighting or when it will end. But we can make damn sure we uselessly die trying to end it.


Sonitusia for providing Ideas and that sick image and some general help.

The council of the Multiverse. When they aren't killing each other or hugging each other in the Hunger Games and talking about anime they can be great help.


OP: Empire of Donner Land

I'll make several, here's my first.

Character Application

Name: Erich Barkmann
Age: 21
Appearance
In uniform
Image
Without the gas mask
Image

Nation: The Greydom of Germany
Role: Mountain infantry rifleman
Equipment and Other personal belongings:
  • Gewehr 98 rifle
  • M1879 Reichsrevolver
  • Gas mask
  • Seitengewehr 98/05 bayonet
  • Several extra clips for his rifle
  • Has chocolate almost all the time
  • A chemistry set
Personality: Erich is very laid back for a mountaineer, and likes to poke fun at other people due to his obvious superiority as mountain infantry. He hates flying, and takes lots of interest in the new panzers that have begun rolling on the battlefield.
Biography: Growing up and going to university as a chemist, Erich signed up for the war to revel in the glory of being part of the Alpenkorps. Excelling in using rifles, he was sent to the front lines as a sort of elite soldier for the other 'weaker' units, and he's been there since.

I fucking love GWTBB. I'll be watching this for sure.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Character Application

Name: Thomas "Thomp" Thompson (pronounced "tom-sun")
Age: 27

Appearance:
Image


Nation: United Khakis of the Isles
Role: General infantry rifleman

Equipment and Other personal belongings:
-A Pattern 1914 Enfield Rifle, named "Charles"
-A Webley Revolver
-The standard United Khakis of the Isles infantry uniform
-A Helmet, Steel, Mark I helmet he refers to as "Dave"
-A canteen filled with liquor
-A tin lunchbox
-Binoculars he stole from one of his commanding officers
-A photo of his mother

Personality: Thomas is quite upbeat and friendly most of the time, but can also be quite narcissistic when in a bad mood, which is quite rare. He's also probably insane. He adores his mother and shooting his rifle, whom he affectionately refers to as "Charles". He also loves his Helmet, Steel, Mark I helmet with a large dent in it, which is known as Dave by him. He hates mayonnaise (citing an incident from his childhood involving a jar of mayonnaise, a lemon, and a rusty spoon), lemons, and his step father.

Biography: An (probably) insane man born in Leeds, Thomas "Thom" Thompson was a banker in Yorkshire before the war. When the war arrived, he decided to join so that he could "impress mummy". He never knew, however, that his mother had died of choking on her tea in 1916. Despite the fact that he had been serving in the military for about six years, he never advanced any farther then being a lowly rifleman, likely due to the fact that he never got a chance to be anywhere near the front lines and the trenches, mostly being stuck guarding important camps far miles away. Despite this, he is surprisingly capable with his rifle, whom he refers to as Charles. He earned the nickname "Thomp" during a training exercise, when an undetonated mortar shell accidentally struck him in the head, denting his helmet and making a loud "Thomp" sound. He can also make an extremely delicious corned beef stew, but never has any opportunities to do so.

Did you put an advertisement for the RP on the advertisement thread? That might catch people's notice.

Here's another

Character Application

Name: Sarah Walthers
Age: 19
Appearance:
Image

Nation: Dough Republic of America
Role: Nurse (it's a lie, she's actually a front line scout)
Equipment and Other personal belongings:
  • Medical Kit (she still does her duties though)
  • Binoculars
  • A pack of gum everywhere she goes
    (Everything below was stolen from the Republican armory)
  • M1917 Enfield rifle
  • M1917 bayonet
  • M1911 pistol
  • SCR-68 radio set
Personality: Sneaky and cunning, she's quite a tomboy for choosing such a dangerous duty to lie for. She cares for her friends, and tends to pass the time trying to make the other trenchies in spirit.
Biography: A young woman with a strong heart, she sneaked into the war by enlisting as a nurse, which was normal for a woman to do. But instead of doing so, she broke protocol and went to the front lines, wearing the attire and wielding the equipment of a scout. She proved herself earlier on in the war as an excellent spotter, but when things started getting entrenched, she started getting bored out of her mind.
