New York City radio broadcast.
July 9, 1956

There is what we can see as giant colossal objects over the statue of liberty, there seems to be dozens of them... folks in all my years as radio host I've never seen anything like this. It's terrifying, there seems to be some sort of light coming from the objects. It's fascinating. Seems like our air boys has been deployed and is moving in to make contact. They're getting close, oh this is such a sight that onl-

Wait... the planes have been blown apart... they- they're gone... oh god they're shooting at the people in the ports. They're no longer there... oh my the humanity! Please people go to your homes and pray for the best. Lady liberty is down... I repeat the statue of liberty is gone... the screams... it- it's coming this way... [incomprehensible noises followed by screams.]

Story

This is a character based RP that follows a war of the worlds scenario in the 1950's after a hostile Alien invasion simply know as "The Scorchers" attack earth with their massive war machines through a portal in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It's November 1959 and the nations of earth are still fighting a desperate campaign. Europe was devastated after the alien invaders settled their bases there, Africa is split in half. Some European armies were able to evacuate their forces to Mexico to join the Coalition, but most of Europe is under Scorcher occupation.

The Soviets and Chinese, also known as East Asian Alliance fight a guerrilla style war to halt the Scorcher's from reaching any further east. America has been split in half and the Coalition made up from American, English,Australian, Canadian, Mexican and European remnant forces are trying to fight back despite being scattered and hunted. Various safe cities exist and the human armies are desperately trying to hold off the Scorchers from advancing any further.

Then there is those humans who survive in small pockets and are trapped in the wastelands that are the Scorchers dominions. The Scorchers are highly advanced creatures who wear advanced armor and use very high tech mechanical weaponry and technology. They rely on huge machines as well as human slaves to collect resources from the earth, one of these resources are humans, they hunt any human they find to process them and use them as fuel for their machines or as slaves. The humans that are used as slave labor work in Scorcher factories to make their machines and weapons of war.

The Scorchers despite being highly advanced, do not have force fields, or super fast ships. their machines of war, though seemingly impenetrable and unstoppable do have weaknesses and their armor and weapons have flaws, their machines are clunky and each machine is made for a specific thing, thus making them vulnerable to human attacks when unprotected depending on their given programming. The Scorchers are made up of various Alien races, each species specializing in distinct roles. They also have other weird looking sentient in their ranks, which are all together difficult to describe. But soldiers and civilians have all come up with names for every class of Scorcher warrior. They are still a threat and have yet to reveal their intentions.


Scorcher Dominion in America

Red (Dark and light) = Scorcher Claimed

Dark Red: Large Scorcher Presence

Light Red: Low Scorcher Presence

*The meaning of the difference in coloring is that there is more resistance and more Humans left in America dominion that in Europe.

Rules and Overview

You can play as either, a Coalition soldier, and East Asian Alliance soldier, a member of the Human resistance, or as a civilian trying to survive in the Scorcher Dominion either as a survivor or a slave.

Rules:

1. I'm OP my word is final. However, I do take suggestions and will hear to reasonable arguments depending on the subject, I'm not obtuse.
2. I act as sort of the De-Facto one that controls what the Scorchers are doing. Having said that, if you can make it work and be realistic about it you can have the Schorcheres doing something like attack a town, position, etc. If its something major TG so I accept or decline.
3. Your character can die, be careful about what you do. If I feel your character has done a bad move I'll kill him. You can make a request to edit and if I think its viable I'll revive him.
4. There will be a limit in high ranking officers of the military. So choose while you can.
5. You can add lore or important twist and plot points to the story, example; your character finds out something important and it proves vital to the story.
6. No super soldiers, be realistic in your character. You can eventually capture and use Scorcher weapons but be realistic about it still.
7. No god modding, beta gaming etc.
8. Watch grammar and don't make any one liners.
9. Have fun
10. You can have 2 characters max, and can make another one if one dies.

[The Traansval]

Name: Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Dutch Resistance
Rank: Captain
Appearance:
Role: Leader of the Dutch Leger von Weerstand, or Resistance Army.
Equipment: FN FAL Rifle, Scoped Lee-Enfield Number 4, Colt M1911 Pistol
Uniform:
Binoculars
4 MK2 Hand Grenades
Personal Belongings: A photo of his wife. Standard Pack Gear: Tent, Blanket Roll, Shaving Kit, Soap, rations.
Personality: Erik is a very light hearted man, who copes with his environment by making jokes. Despite this, he takes his responibility to lead the Dutch against the Alien Menace very seriously.
Bio (one paragraph at least): Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. His father was a drunk, and his mother died at birth. Despite his habit, upon his mothers death Erik's father sobered up, and accepted his role as Erik's father. He worked very hard for Erik to have a good life, and he battled everyday over his former drinking habit. Eriks father died when Erik was accepted to University, he was hit by a Drunk Driver one day when Eriks Father was coming home from work in the Factory. Erik was devastated, but chose to honor his fathers memory through becoming a success.

After the Second World War, which had ended some time during Erik's early childhood, the Dutch Army was trying to recruit more people to its military. Erik, not feeling any of his subjects calling to him, decided to study Military Science and eventually enlisted in the Dutch Army at the rank of Lieutenant. He saw action through the deployment of the Dutch Forces in the Indonesian War of Independence, and earned his rank of Captain by the end of the war.

Then, the Scorchers Attacked. They disintegrated Amsterdam, and landed their ships there. No one has seen them yet, only seen their ships. But, still, the Dutch Resistance was soon formed from the remnants of the Royal Dutch Army. Led by Captain Roelfzema, the Resistance is biding its time, recruiting more Fighters and gathering more weapons and ammo from former Army supply warehouses. The Resistance, on its own, is pretty weak, but when reinforced by the other major powers like the Coalition, they could be a very effective force.
Strengths: Tactics, Morale, Sharpshooting.
Weaknesses: Fear of Heights, Emotional, poorly equipped.
*Quirks: Dark sense of Humor stemming from the destruction he's seen.
*Likes: Jokes, the death of Scorchers
*Dislikes (don’t say “Scorchers.” Trust me, no one likes them): Traitors, Communists, Fascists. Needless death of his own.
*Worst Fears: Heights, Death of close friends and family
*Miscellaneous (anything else you’d like to add): Erik leads a Resistance army of around 5,000 Fighters, armed mostly with their own weapons or recovered weapons from Royal Dutch Army supply depots.
