With all these people playing the real characters I'm tempted to change my app to be Doc Roe...

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.

Personally, I kind of want to RP what really happened to Blithe, but I'm afraid of the risk part. Being kicked out of RP for injuries sustained.

@Ausira contrary to popular belief Blithe did not die from the wound he received to the neck. He was treated, survived, and I believe re-entered the war. Band of Brother's made a mistake because all of the soldiers of Easy said, and truly believed, that he died there that day.

@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.

Well technically Eugene isn't a Quaker, just his family. He's an atheist. I wanted to do the whole "Hey look... I'm an atheist... in a foxhole." and "What are you thanking god for? Did he give you morphine?" lines.

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."

Yep... shit like that is all over the US army. They even make atheists have the word atheist stamped into their dogtags. It's fuckin stupid. Anyway I'm going to try to post IC with what little energy I have left and then head offline.

Character name: Arthur Wilson
Age: 18
Appearance:

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

I was about to accept that app, but you corrected it and told him what was wrong. Also I would rather have a co-OP, seeing as though I'm not going to be here next week(probably).

Okay, I understand that.

@CFTP, I was kind of not completely right on the weapon variant. Both Thompson models were both used by both branches, but the prominent model in the Army was the M1 Variant, meaning you're character could technically have the M1928 variant. Plus if you want you could just be a Corporal? If you don't want to change your weapon that is.
