I've only counted two people who are playing as real characters from the book/show/RL, but don't you want to expand on your character development? I mean its kinda hard to make char. development when you have preset person already, where oh know what's going to happen to them..... Unless,'we go partial alternate history on this.

@Rynagria I kinda figured that we were gonna do an alternate history thing. Anway after reading about the real people if I played as any of them it would be Webster. Though Roe and Winters will always be my favorite characters from the movie. But I think I'm going to stick with my character.

I know what happened to him, as I said in my application. He was honorably discharged for his wounds, though, and reenlisted I think sometime in the 50's. He died in 67 when he went to Berlin to where Battle of the Bulge was fought. (And they didn't think he died that day, they thought he was brought back to the hospital, and died in 48 of his wounds. Dick said it himself. [The died of his wounds in 48 part])

It says clearly after the end of the chapter where he got shot in the neck by a sniper that he never recovered from his injuries. Anyway I'm too tired to explain it, mostly because I think that were thinking the same thing but wording it differently, so I'm just gonna link you to this.

Well My character is based off a character from Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. Nathan Holden, but I practically added some stuff and placed Eugene Sledge's picture form the Pacific. You're character is cool, but technically he's still a Ranger.

I literally took inspiration from nowhere with my character. I just said I want a male in his teens that's a medic and looks like Doc Roe. Then I added the whole rural Pennsylvania and Quaker thing. Well that's a lie I thought of the Quaker thing because of how Garnier (I don't know how it's spelled) thought Winters was a Quaker.

And, hey. I'm not a Quaker.
- Dick Winters.
(Blithe is a Quaker, though.)

LOL. I remember a story on an Atheist who didn't want to go to the old (When Army used to have it, I don't think they do anymore) Sunday Church groups, and asked the Drill Sergeant, "What do I do if I'm an Atheist?" "Son... there's no such thing as an Atheist in a foxhole. They turn to God when they are in danger."

Rank: PFC
Role: Rifleman
Weaponry: Thompson M1928
Personality: Shy, quiet, and energetic
Bio: Born in Chicago, Arthur grew up during the depression. His family was hit hard by the depression and they struggled to make an honest living. In school the classrooms were awfully kept and the teachers were cruel and grossly under paid. When Arthur went into high school he was a big bragger, but that all changed when his father, a heavy drinker, died of liver failure. Now Arthur, his two siblings, and his mom were on there own. The upside was that Arthur's mother was employed as a secretary for a rich business owner. After that Arthur didn't see much of his because often she came home late and left for work early. Arthur vowed to keep up his grades and keep in good physical condition. When Arthur turned eighteen he joined the paratroops, a little known branch at the time, and was assigned to the 101st airborne.
Anything else: Nothing at the moment

CFTP, in the military the only people who were allowed to use the Thompson was the NCO's and Officers........... Plus the Army used the M1/M1A1 variant of the Thompson, while the Marines used the M1928/M1928A1 model.

Rynagria, you can consider yourself co-OP.
As for the app, change that up, and you should be accepted.
