Its a Long Way to Tipperary(OOC)(CHAR)(OPEN)

[Bolslania]

Up to mighty London came
An Irish man one day
All the streets were paved with gold
So everyone was gay!
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand, and Leicester Square
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there.


Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O'
Saying, "Should you not receive it
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling"
Molly dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad
Don't lay the blame on me".

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there.

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

July 28th, 1914.

Tensions that have been brewing for decades between the major European Powers have finally boiled over, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austro-Hungary started a chain reaction, starting with Austro-Hungary threatening war with Serbia if demands were not met. Everyone knew Serbia couldn't meet those demands. Nations began taking sides, the Russian Empire, United Kingdom, and French Republic coming to the defense of Serbia, while the German Empire took the side of it's neighbor, Austro-Hungary.

And so begins a war that will live in infamy, a war that will never be forgotten. In WW1 new technologies were developed that would alter the way war is fought forever, in the Great War concepts that had never needed to be addressed would be starkly and suddenly brought into the spotlight. Millions would die, and millions more would have their souls shattered by the violences of war.

This RP is set just before the Battle of the Marne, where the British and French Armies are on the back foot as the German's advance unchecked into northern Frances. Meanwhile, Russia has pushed into East Prussia and the Carpathians, and the Germans are being force to allocate more forces to the Eastern Theater. The British and French armies seek to stop the German advance, and push maybe even turn the tide in their favor.

1. This isn't a nation RP, you are an individual soldier in the trenches
2. There will only be 3 high-ranking officers per country, I will keep a list in the character creation section
3. Basic stuff, be polite, be realistic
4. I've gone past the need for post lengths, just no one-liners.
5. Put "Tipperary" in the notes section of your application
6. Another basic thing but I am the authority, and any co-ops I recruit are extensions of that authority

There are several ways to play this RP.
In this RP, you can play on any side of your choosing, at any rank. However, there are some things to keep in mind:

German Generals (0/3)
British Generals (0/3)
French Generals (0/3)
Russian Generals (0/3)
Austro-Hungarian Generals (0/3)
Ottoman's will come later

1. Most soldiers on both sides were in their 20s
2. A lot of German soldiers were conscripts
3. British soldiers at the beginning of the war were volunteer soldiers
4. No combat planes, no tanks until 1915. There are very light armored cars, and planes for reconnaissance purposes
5. I do ask for some depth in your character, how is he an individual? What makes him him?
