Jeez, I can already tell that we're going to have way too many people in the far right and far left parties - which is a shame, cause those are the two options which I would most like to join.

If you were hoping for something like that, I would be perfectly willing to make the SDP leader and allow you the ASP!

I think that i'll be more leaning FSP. I want a radical character, but I don't want to be chained down to anything like the stereotype of what a communist or fascist of this era should be.

We are in need of a President, who is from Zentrum.

Would conscription have been in place in Hellesreich before the Great War?

Most likely in a form of national service. During the war, conscription would have been in full swing.

Character Information Sheet


NS Nation Name: Wasi State
Character Name: Hansel Otto Drex
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 41
Character Height: 5'10"
Character Weight: 81 kg.
Character Position/Role/Job: Artist, Party Leader of the ASP
Appearance: Image
Character Nation/State of Origin: State of Mittersee
Character Party Affiliation: ASP

Strengths: Eccentric realist, self proclaimed 'guerrilla politician,' media and art centric personality.

Weaknesses: Chronic gambler both in his personal life and in politics, possible alienation to his base and elsewhere due his more unorthodox methods and visionary stances.

Biography: Hansel Otto Drex was born in December of 1888, when the Hellesreich was still at its height of power prior to the Great War in Mittersee. Growing up in a rather low income apartment, Hans grew to be a patron of the arts at school and even an artist himself, which his mother supported much to his Father's disapproval, whom had wanted him to work with him doing labor in the City. However Hans had grown to reject the toil of manual labor, seeking to go to a proper fine arts school and exercise his craft to the fullest where his skills wouldn't have been wasted, having delved into the foundation that would be his Realism art early into his young adulthood. His father, realistically given the family's economic situation ended up shunning him from the apartment and basically kicking their son out on the street to get some 'first-hand' experience on what becomes of starving-artists.

However it was around this time that the Hellesreich was plunged into the Great War against the Entente. and the world seemingly came crashing down. With little choice other than to serve given he was still a abled-body man in his early 20s with nowhere left to turn, Hans volunteered and was soon after sent off to fight in the Western Front.

Time to Hans seemed to elapsed into a malaise as trenchfoot set in and the rats crawled over each other to gather refuse and scraps in the trenches, before scurrying off before artillery shells poxed No Man's Land for the umpteenth time within a day. When a whistle blew, Hans only associated the hooting sound with dread as his humanity sank down and the constricting gas masks were put over their faces before their charge across several tens of yards of scorched earth at a time. Kaiser and Country didn't seem to matter much when your bayonet is deep into a Frenchman's sternum, or after bashing another man's skull open with a medieval-looking club, or shooting at one point blank with a Luger and watching brain matter fly by, or...

As the haze drifted away like gas sweeping through trenches, Hans was eventually captured in the aftermath of a failed trench raid, and taken as a Prisoner of War somewhere in the French countryside. Though in a sense of irony it was perhaps the first time that Hans was given the opportunity to be human again with himself, having been away from the fighting after what seemed like an eternity. In the time until the war eventually ended, Hans practiced at his craft whenever he could, which wasn't often. Though he wasn't considered much of a threat anymore, having become disillusioned since to the Hellesreich since his capture, and having gained a curious interest in the overhearings of political beliefs or news coming from the guards, particularly with the socialist idea that would be the foundation of ultra-gauche.

When the Great War ended and Hans was allowed to return home, he found just an abandoned apartment where his family had lived. Unknowing to him they had both died from Spanish Influenza, and his sister had since left to parts unknown after the funeral. Meaning Hans was not only alone once again without a personal safety net, but seemingly the rest of the Hellesreich was in a sense too as the economy post-war went to kaput. Reduced to a (basically) jobless veteran living as essentially a vagrant, in a country reduced to a shell of its former self, and his art career not paying the bills nearly as much, if at all. Hans got involved in the more seedy underground of Mittersee more or less out of necessity, and ended up in the more Socialist aligned part of it too due to sympathies and personal grievances with the failed post-war status quo.

As years go by and Hans became a rather known member within Socialist circles, having expressed rather 'visionary' and 'realist' ideals to create what he felt was a feasible utopia built on the post-war ashes within the Hellesreich, and combined with his eccentric personality, he had gained quite the following of political followers in what would become the ASP. However in the four long months that the Military had couped the Ravenstadt, Hans in secret and with the aid of his closet allies in the ASP, led a short-lived guerrilla insurrection called the Red Faction against the Military government, however their success was questionable, considering that a lot of high ranking ASP members in Hans' wing of the party ended up getting killed or imprisoned for life for their troubles. And obviously the ASP is still fighting the political battle for control of the country under a Socialist vision, however given the power vacuum within the part of the ASP that Hans resided in within Mittersee, he had quickly assumed control within that part of the party and eventually became its fully fledged leader given his substantial internal influence in the ASP in the last election.

Now only time will tell whether he will come out on top with the ASP in the Ravenstadt power struggle.

Other Info: Like zero family to speak of, apart from an estrange sister.

someone from an overseas place? Someone who has interests for stuff overseas? and has some following because of faith/religious reasons? It could have some cool RP if a hitler like charector who is the leader of the party who wants to bring germany to greatness. because hallinians are slavs, and zarnicovians novans are germanic.

I don't really think a whole new fiction church is really in line with the tone set out in the RP.

it's heavily based off of the mormon church... It's practically the exact same church just founded in a fictional contenate and with different names.

I'm not sure if a fictionalised Mormon Church really has a place in an Interwar European Political RP, especially since it seems like the intention is that other than the nation in play, the intention is to have the rest of the world be exactly the same as ours, without any other new continent / countries / religions.

Exactly where is Hellesreich geographically speaking? Assuming it's not to be left vague the entire time. I have it in my mind that it's somewhere between Germany and Austria, or possibly between Germany and Switzerland or Czechoslovakia. Either way I'm imagining it's probably a pretty alpine country? That may or may not be landlocked.

It's mostly in a vague sort of Austria/Czechoslovakia/Poland/Romania area. It used to have access to the sea, but the Treaty of Ravenstadt took the coastline away. There would be mountainous areas.

Oh what I would do to see the pre-war and post-war borders, I just want to see this thing snake around all those countries to reach a coastline.

There is definitely a reason I left it vague. The things I would have to do to half of Europe...
