BIOGRAPHY
"Born in Cork, Ireland. I was baptised at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, I suppose I was a bit of a rabble-rouser as a boy, more than most, spending enough time getting into fights, 'acting the maggot', it wasn't an easy life, my Father was a quiet man, but a Republican through and through, suffered terribly for that, and my Mother was a Saint, a shame it didn't rub off none on me. I had a pal; Riley, him and I come up with a plan to strike it big in America, economy was shite and all that, tough for a man to make an honest dollar over there, but easy enough to make a dishonest over the pond."

"So we make our way over to New York, all well, lazy feller doin' the paperwork gives it one look and lets me in, mixed blessin's I suppose. We meet up with one of Riley's friends in Boston, and the money was decent, not as much as was promised, the idiot thought we were going to be runnin' booze or something of the sorts, I won't get too angry with him, as I did meet my darling Mary there, prettiest girl I've ever seen on both sides of the water. We got married quick, but even quicker than that, we had our little blessings, and I found myself in trouble with the law, Riley got shot by some Mick and I ended up in prison, Concord Penn., was going to be there for a while, deserved most likely, but the war wasn't going to well, and when the Krauts found there way over here we found our exit, well, some did, and some ended up dead."

"High-tailed it to Boston, picked up my Wife and the kids, and made a plan with the gang, West we went and started our new operation, smuggling; weapons, booze, cigarettes, counterfeit currency, as well as moving folks, its lucrative if you don't get caught, you won't like what ends up happening then, believe me."

Cool concept, needs to be enfleshed though. You missed the personality field and the biography should be expanded to cover the nitty-gritty mechanics of his operation and his dealings, if any, with the NYC resistance.

Hey, I think I fixed some of the errors with my application, if you could give it another look I'd appreciate it

Three defining traits: James Strom Thurmond is a man who has to keep up appearances, but who has been utterly defeated by the past fifteen years. He is partially proud of what he has achieved, but looking back, is he bears shame of what he has been a part of. He is caring for friends, but ever-more secluded in his Carolina estate. Although he has been active in local southern politics, he has only taken an interest into national politics as of late. Officially that is because his task in the South is almost done, but in reality it is because he hopes he can use his influence to at least humanise the Nazi regime somewhat.

BIOGRAPHY
Until 1947, basically the same, apart from his involvement in WWII.

James Strom Thurmond was governor of South Carolina when the Nazi menace destroyed Washington DC, and the Wehrmacht invaded the United States. General Patton basically assumed control of what was left of the government afterwards, as some kind of Generalissimo. However, his forces concentrated around New England, and left the Atlantic south rather undefended, as it was thought the Kriegsmarine could not reach so far along the US coast without defeating the US navy, a feat thought impossible. Of course, the Patton Strategy, as it often did, failed to account for the true power of a navy, in this case, the combined French and Royal navies, which now flew the eagle banner. When the Bismarck and Hitler (formally known as HMS Hood) sailed into Charleston harbour, the only thing left to do for governor Strom Thurmond was to surrender with favourable terms, with him being allowed to maintain his position as temporary governor of the newly-conquered territories. Strom Thurmond hoped that by collaborating, he would be able to achieve some kind of benefit the Carolinians under his care.

While nominally under the Reichskommisariat Süd, the Wehrmacht governed South Carolina via the old State structure, be it with a lot less democratic input. The State Legislature was functionally abolished, and even after ceremonial elections filled with only Nazi stooges; many of whom former KKK, an organisation the Nazis banned at first. After final victory was achieved in '47, the Reichskommissariat was slowly transformed to more civilian government, with South Carolina being the shining example for much of Dixieland. At first, Strom Thurmond was pleased to work with the German occupier, who seemed much more inclined to his way of thinking than the federal government had been. He was ordered to implement segregation to its fullest extent, and to fully separate the white population from all 'pollutants'. This Strom Thurmond did with a vigour, especially with regards to the black population. He rescinded most workplace protections for black Americans and began busting unions, especially those who had historically protected African Americans. On Jews he was more lenient, although his actions were still abhorrent. Following the ordinances, waves of racist violence descended on the South in 1950, with massive lynchings as a result. This was the first time Strom Thurmond began second-guessing his decision to throw in his lot with the Nazi occupiers, and in 1951, he started his underground railway to get Jewish Americans out of the country. However, for black people, he had no such regard; only for his daughter did he make an exception.

As the Nazis strengthened their position, and Rockwell rose to power, the demands of the occupation government became less and less lenient. After strict segregation, now black people were barred from many jobs. They were only allowed to do menial labour, and only labour for which no white workers could be found. As agricultural implements were confiscated for other production programs, many new badly paid agricultural jobs were 'created'. Especially in the cotton and peach industries. Since India had fallen to the Japanese, the Germans became more and more reliant on American cotton, which was extracted under inhumane conditions. After black partisan groups popped up, the Nazi government charged Strom Thurmond with finding a solution. He segregated the African-American community in their own neighbourhoods. Ghettos, in every sense of the word. In order to combat partisan activity, increase loyalty to the government, and to guard the new ghettos, Strom Thurmond recreated a new KKK, heavily regimented and based off the German SS. While the real SS allowed no competitor, the KKK was more of a civilian police force, though armed with their own weapons. Most of these people were volunteers, and just got a kick out of inflicting tremendous suffering on their fellow human beings. The money was good too; Strom Thurmond saw that as a way of siphoning some German money to American families who needed it most. Again, he was trying to find loopholes through which he could help white American families. The Nazis often made clear that, if he didn't do it, they would find someone who would, and Strom Thurmond could imagine what that kind of person could inflict.

Of course, in reality, the Nazis were never going to do to white Americans what they had done to Jews or black Americans. There was no need for it; wartime propaganda had pictured Germans as cruel and vicious, intent on harm and pain for the sake of itself. However, behind that cruelty was always some calculated motive of power, and in the US, the white Americans were the power base. The Nazis would help these white Americans at the expense of black Americans, just as Thurmond had been doing before the occupation. Thurmond was picturing himself as some subversive hero, while as a matter of fact, he was being fooled into easy compliance by a regime that was going to replace him some day anyway.

After the segregation into ghettos, violence decreased, and the KKK ranks swelled. Less and less SS personell was to be found south of the Mason-Dickson line, as the US south began patrolling itself. THe highest positions were still in Nazi hands, and there were informers everywhere, but these people needed very little convincing to turn on their fellow man. The ghettos in the SOuth would deteriorate fast, though. No access to hot water and medicine meant disease outbreaks were common, and despite the high walls and the daily marches to work, these diseases were spreading beyond the confines of the ghetto. Even worse, as long as there were black, human faces, white city dwellers could identify themselves with these people, and the number of charitable institutions for their welfare grew, as did the silent, hushed calls for a more humane treatment. An anonymous petition was sent to the Rockwell government to ask for leniency, which Rockwell sent straight to Strom Thurmond with the simple request that 'something be done about this situation'.

Thus, in 1955, the ghettos were emptied into the camps that had been constructed throughout the South. There were three kinds, following the Southern Plan that the combined governors, under Strom Thurmond's chairmanship, had concocted. The holding camps would provide temporary housing outside the city. From those holding camps, populations would be moved on to work camps. These work camps were enormous complexes centered around some form of labour, be it agricultural, heavy industrial or mining and logging. Those who could work were put to use. Those who could not would be sent onto Camps; miscellaneous, as they were called. These differed in size and operation, but the destruction of every kind of minority population as well as political dissidents, was their main objective, whether through starvation of meaningless work, or the gas chamber.

In 1957, Strom Turmond visited one of the miscellaneous camps for the first time. He was utterly horrified by what he saw there. This camp used a combination of hard labour, incredibly strict discipline, and the gas chamber in order to destroy as many people as they could. The hard labour consisted of digging the mass graves that were required; after every batch of people, those who worked the furnaces would be executed as well, so that every few weeks, the last traces were vanished. Even as there was no other power on earth to stop them, they still knew what they did was so utterly reprehensible, that they had to hide the evidence from themselves.

Strom Thurmond would not recover, mentally. A week later, he offered his resignation, only to be replaced by some KKK goon of high loyalty. He himself moved on to govern the system of working camps. Even now, he thought that he could still do something for his people, perhaps even for the black Americans. If he could show their hard work, he thought, maybe the government would allow them to live. If he could just show their value... Missing the fact that, as human beings, they had inherent value. But still clinging to racist ideology, even then, Strom Thurmond set about his foolhardy mission, which he is still on today, the year of our lord 1961. His faith in his ability and the government has deminished, but he is no rebel. There is very little he can do from his position, and he knows it, but he is also not willing to openly go against the government. After all, that would cost him his life, or at the very least his standing. And so far, Strom Thurmond is not willing to go. He just hopes that, after sin, he can at least contribute in the building of the white christian nation he has always envisioned, even if its birth were steeped in the blood of millions of innocents.

Strom Thurmond is ready. A word of warning, this gets quite dark, and while I did not go into much detail, the IC will very much do that. Be warned about that; the description of Nazi policies in the US cannot be glossed over or made 'more humane'. The Nazis were monsters, and if we are talking about a Nazi occupation of the US, we cannot get around how disgusting and utterly hopeless that would be.

Benuty I do find your interpretation of Walt Disney rather interesting. From everything I’ve read and his early cartoons I’ve seen, I’ve always found Walt Disney was notoriously racist and anti-semitic. Is this version of him still so or has he departed from such views?

If so are you indicating that it may in fact have been the environment of American society of the 40’s and 50’s that fermented such views in the man? And that the utter collapse of the United States caused a moral revival as it were.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: John "Jack" Fitzgerald Kennedy
Age: Forty-one
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Ethnicity: Celtic [Irish]
Appearance: Many women would describe him as handsome, though much of this is due to confidence, charisma, and aura rather than appearance. Despite a reputation for being fashionable, much of this is based upon the company he keeps and crafted by mistresses he brings to social galas. Outside of formal arrangements he is not an extravagant person, and enjoys dressing in casual attire such as khaki pants and his favourite seersucker jacket. The casual dress (and distaste for overdressing) betrays an immensely wealthy upbringing, which be seen in much of his general mannerisms - he oozes class in how he behaves and holds himself. Picture.
Residence: 111 Irving Avenue, Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Also has residence in Bronxville, New York
Occupation: Socialite, newspaper editor, writer
Family:

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. (b. 1888) - Patriarch of the Kennedy family. Businessman, investor, politician. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. An ardent Anglophobe and anti-Semite; Kennedy Sr. was a supporter of appeasement and welcomed the success of Operation Sealion, sending a series of reports positively covering the Nazi invasion back to Washington. He was a key figure in the swift American recognition of Edward VII's government. Now a high-ranking Nazi bureaucrat.
Rose Kennedy (b. 1890) - Daughter of a former Mayor of Boston and Joe Kennedy Sr.'s wife, deeply embedded within the Boston social elite. One of the first women to be awarded the Cross of Honour of the American Mother.
Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (b. 1915) - Eldest child, former US Naval lieutenant and Kriegsmarine Korvettenkapitän. After graduating from Harvard in 1942, Joe Jr. enlisted with the United States Navy in the war against Japan, rising to the rank of lieutenant. Defected to the Nazis in early 1946 and became an officer in the Kriegsmarine, where he swiftly rose up the ranks. Now an officer within the SS.
Rosemary Kennedy (b. 1918) - Eldest daughter, "mentally retarded". After suffering from convulsions and mood swings her father arranged for her to have a prefrontal lobtomony in 1941 which left her with an extremely diminshed mental capacity. Institutionalised for years, after the Nazi invasion Joe Sr. had a house built for Rose to live, where she was taken care of by two nuns. Rosemary's situation is kept under a great deal of secrecy lest she be discovered by the Nazi authorities, something which would almost certainly lead to her death and great embarrassment for the Kennedy family. The Kennedy siblings are thus far unaware of what has happened to their sister.
Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy (b. 1920) - Prominent socialite. Having become well-integrated within London high society during the late 1930s, she stayed in the UK alongside her father during Operation Sea Lion. Formerly married to a member of the British aristocracy who was sympathetic to the Nazis, abandoning Catholicism to be married in one of the Reich churches. After her husband died on the continent fighting for the Reich, she returned to the New York in 1947 and remarried to a member of America's new Nazi elite. Prominent on the social circuits of London, New York, and Berlin.
Eunice Kennedy (b. 1921) - Executive Vice-President of the Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. Foundation, a not-for-profit research foundation which supports up-and-coming physicians with funding for experiments in order to make groundbreaking medical research.
Patricia Kennedy (b. 1924) - Based in Hollywood and harbours ambitions to be a film producer. Has appeared in and directed a number of small pro-Nazi films and theatrical productions.
Robert "Bobby" Kennedy (b. 1925) - Served in the Naval Reserve 1944-1946. After the Nazi invasion Bobby enrolled at Harvard university, the first intake of students after the establishment of the American Reich. Thereafter he enrolled at the University of Virginia School of Law. Ru Following a short period of working with the government, Bobby nows runs a small legal firm. Rumours of any involvement with the Resistance have thus far been proven to be baseless, politically-motivated attacks on the Kennedy family.
Jean Kennedy (b. 1928) - Media-shy diplomat and author. Married to the Reich's Ambassador to Ireland.
Edward "Ted" Kennedy (b. 1932) - The youngest child, Ted was just 14 when the Nazis came to power. The only Kennedy to eschew university (except for Rose) due to its Jewish influence, Ted joined the Heer upon turning 18. He has been steadily rising the ranks of the Reich's armed forces.

Religion: Baptised Roman Catholic but otherwise uninterested

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear? Nuclear holocaust. Having seen the after-effects of the Heisenberg Device that was used on D.C., the idea of nuclear weapons being used on more people and devastating the world is a terrifying thought to him.
Most intimate ambition? Jack Kennedy has not been allowed much ambition, as he and his brothers have primarily served to execute the fierce ambitions of his father. Originally his father hoped for him to go into politics, though this avenue has closed greatly since the invasion. Privately, Jack's ultimate ambition would be public service, though he also finds the idea of doing this difficult if having to serve the Reich. He harbours ambitions to win a Pulitzer prize, but also believes it to be a worthless award given to the most shameless government mouthpiece. Jack feels like a man who has been robbed of his ambition and future.
Loyalty? To the Reich, nominally. His primary loyalty is to his family, and there are sympathies towards the Resistance.
Three defining traits: Charismatic, articulate, philanderer

BIOGRAPHY
John "Jack" Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on 29 May 1917. The second son of Joe Kennedy Sr., Jack was the typical second son - in the shadow of his brother, both in his own eyes and his father's. Joe Sr. wanted Joe Jr. to become President of the United States - Jack was simply the spare in case that plan went awry. Despite this, Jack was most fortunate to be a member of the Kennedy family, an immensely wealthy political family originally from Ireland. However, he did not win the genetic lottery in its entirety - ever since his youth Jack Kennedy has been plagued with an incessant series of medical issues. From back spasms to gastrointestinal problems, digestive issues, spinal pain, Addison's disease, and he almost died from scarlet fever as a boy. The true extent to which Jack has been riddled with maladies all of his life is a closely guarded secret. The back issues are portrayed as an injury obtained during wartime heroism and college football, something which contributes to a macho image. His history of illnesses - and the cocktail of medicines and steroids he takes each day to treat it - known to a select few.

Kennedy attended Harvard College, graduating in 1940. His college thesis, which examined the policy of appeasement, was turned into a bestseller under the name of While England Slept which helped establish his reputation as a burgeoning writer. Afterwards he attempted to begin a military career. Despite originally being rejected from the navy due to chronic back issues, Jack's father was able to pull some strings and ensure that his son could join the ONI staff in 1941. In late 1941 Jack was given his first command, manning patrol torpedo (PT) boats in Panama and then the Pacific theatre. In 1943, after their boat was wrecked by a Japanese destroyer, Jack swam more than ten miles (seven of which were done whilst dragging a badly burned crewmate by the life jacket with his teeth) in order to find food and hail a rescue boat. For this act Kennedy was awarded the Purple Heart and the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, with numerous stories circulated that trumpeted his achievements and praised him as a war hero.

Jack sought retirement from the navy due to his physical issues but this was denied to the perilous state of the war with Japan. Instead he was released from active service and allowed leave indefinitely. During this period Jack became involved in his other passion outside of public service - writing. Kennedy Sr. arranged a position for his son via his friend William Randolph Heart, and Jack began to contribute to columns covering the Pacific Theatre as well as some events in Western Europe, where the Reich was swiftly establishing a stranglehold. Following the Nazi attack on the US Kennedy voluntarily returned to service and briefly saw further action back in the Pacific before American forces surrendered.

As per an agreement with his father, Jack agreed to serve in the Kriesgmarine for two years. He was given the cognate role of Kapitänleutnant, as was his elder brother Joseph, but unlike Joseph did not advance rank any further. In 1949 Jack was finally able to retire from military service, disguising his chronic illnesses as something obtained while lost at sea for more than a week in 1943. Jack retired from the Kriegsmarine on physical disability and was discharged with full honours.

After retiring, Jack was appointed as editor of the Boston Globe. With the blessing of the Reich, Kennedy Sr. had purchased the Globe and turned the daily into a mouthpiece for the American Nazi party. Jack set about trying to improve the fortunes of the stagnating local newspaper, expanding its reach with the aim of turning it into a successful newspaper which covered all of the New England region. Though obliged to act as part of the efficient propaganda machine, Jack has tried to improve the standards of journalism by focusing upon areas where the censors are less strict, such as in foreign affairs. The Globe is one of the best sources within the Reich for keeping up with events in the American Pacific and the Neutral Zone, and Jack has also authored popular books which examines the society of both the Pacific States and the Neutral Zone as well as their systems of government.

Insert biography. "Ah, the sad story of Ozzy Burgess. He was once your average little boy from the Midwest. White picket fence, a dog, house in the suburbs, that kind of thing. Then dear old dad caught him canoodling with Davey Freemont from next door. And just like that, 16 year old Ozzy was tossed out. And wouldn't you know it, not an hour after pops showed me the door, D.C. gets turned into a crater. Rough day that was. Now society wasn't kind to fellas like me before. But when the Nazis rolled up? Oh, it went from 'Wasn't kind' to 'Cruel joke by God'. Anyway, I hitchhiked my way across the country. Getting called 'Deviant' and various other unkind things. Doing what I had to do to survive. But I'm no deviant. I just like fellas. And I got to thinking, maybe the folks calling me that were the deviants. Everyone has a dark secret you can exploit. And I got real good at exploiting them in my travelling. I eventually finagled my way into owning this rundown nightclub in Brooklynn. The old owner had his own secrets he was willing to give up his club to keep. And here's the fun part. See, I've got a...special room. Down in the basement. Where my more wild patrons can fulfill some really twisted desires. And a good number of those wild patrons are Nazis. Those boys are wound up tight. Well, that's where this fun thing called video tape comes in. I've got a whole cabinet filled with tapes. I've basically got blackmail material on half the Reich in New York. And if any of them bother me or my patrons? Well, maybe a tape gets leaked to the resistance or High Command. Yeah. I'm living like a king."

We find ourselves a spot in North Dakota, close to what was Montana, and set up several fronts, warehouses, trucking and farming, diversifying our investments ensuring that our books look find to the underpaid bureaucrat, taking lots of time investing in our operation, picking up and moving to new spots, hiring promising talent along the way, artists are so underappreciated in this new world, with such great talent, counterfeiting currency, and art, but that’s a small part of the operation, between reproducing arms and munitions and the logistics business, that’s where the real money can be found, someone looking for protection or to enact some hero plan is willing to pay a fair deal of coin to get his hands on a reproduction 1911. Moving industrial goods from their ‘New Germany” to New York, and onward to the Fatherland makes a fair deal of currency for us as well, and presents a lot of hiding places when your moving large amounts of cargo.”

“It’s a change, starting out small trying to figure our spot in the world, running trucks from Chicago, or Neu-Chicago, or whatever the feck its called, over to Neu-York, stopping by bars and coffee shops are good for exercising the fine American art of marketing, first taste always bein’ free of course, save for firearms, them folks never last long enough for the repeat business. But I’m getting besides myself here; met this feller at the ‘Bull Rider Bar’, strange place with even stranger clientele, but I surmise I can’t judge too harshly on account of me own business dealings. Anyway, he strikes up a conversation, and Jesus, Mary and Joseph, you never have an honest conversation now adays, but we start talking about freedom, about how life used to be good."

“The irony is not lost on me that I was going away for a long time, bein’ let out was a blessing to say the least, I agree with the feller, and he starts talkin’ about this resistance in Neu-York, I says good for ‘em, some of my favourite clients fight the Krauts. I suppose somewhere in the drinking we found common ground. I bid him farewell, handing him a business card and making my adieu, and vacate the premises, stumbling the while till I get two blocks down, find an empty alley to recuperate myself in, ignorin’ the sirens, sounds of a big city, could happen at any time. Sitting down in the dirty alley, trying to remember where I parked, just waitin’ for the world to stop spinning, there was... silence, and then there was the shooting, damn near pissed myself, sounded like the battle of Boston all o’er again. Sobered up right there, just trying to hide- an explosion, such a terrible commotion, my nerves came back to me as I made an effort back to the taxi stand and then onward to the motel, what an awful waste of potential customers... I joke, but I still think what if I had staid back in that bar, I could have been the one that ended up dead.”

“I suppose that crisis gives new meanin’ to a man’s life, I’ve never hugged me darlin’ Mary or the kids so hard once I had gotten back, but it wouldn’t be for too long, as I found myself with a greater mission to perhaps fight for something greater than myself, to fight like me Pa did back when we earned our freedom in the old country, and how it was slaughtered so young by Fritz’s boot. I’m going to make them pay in some way, perhaps helpin’ that ‘Control’ feller that man in the bar was talking about, I’ve got to do somethin’.”

Accepted, remember however that Patrick needs to be based in NYC.

A placeholder app for a southern land owner. This character will serve mostly to shine a light on the absolutely horrific situation in the American South, as well as KKK collaboration.

Greatest fear: That the Nazis somehow find out about his black daughter (who fled to San Fransisco in '49), and about the underground railroad for Jewish refugees he has been maintaining.
Most intimate ambition: At this point, survival, and that he may, at once, be forgiven by the Almighty God for what he has been a part of.
Loyalty: KKK, the American Reich
Three defining traits: James Strom Thurmond is a man who has to keep up appearances, but who has been utterly defeated by the past fifteen years. He is partially proud of what he has achieved, but looking back, is he bears shame of what he has been a part of. He is caring for friends, but ever-more secluded in his Carolina estate. Although he has been active in local southern politics, he has only taken an interest into national politics as of late. Officially that is because his task in the South is almost done, but in reality it is because he hopes he can use his influence to at least humanise the Nazi regime somewhat.

BIOGRAPHY
Until 1947, basically the same, apart from his involvement in WWII.

James Strom Thurmond was governor of South Carolina when the Nazi menace destroyed Washington DC, and the Wehrmacht invaded the United States. General Patton basically assumed control of what was left of the government afterwards, as some kind of Generalissimo. However, his forces concentrated around New England, and left the Atlantic south rather undefended, as it was thought the Kriegsmarine could not reach so far along the US coast without defeating the US navy, a feat thought impossible. Of course, the Patton Strategy, as it often did, failed to account for the true power of a navy, in this case, the combined French and Royal navies, which now flew the eagle banner. When the Bismarck and Hitler (formally known as HMS Hood) sailed into Charleston harbour, the only thing left to do for governor Strom Thurmond was to surrender with favourable terms, with him being allowed to maintain his position as temporary governor of the newly-conquered territories. Strom Thurmond hoped that by collaborating, he would be able to achieve some kind of benefit the Carolinians under his care.

While nominally under the Reichskommisariat Süd, the Wehrmacht governed South Carolina via the old State structure, be it with a lot less democratic input. The State Legislature was functionally abolished, and even after ceremonial elections filled with only Nazi stooges; many of whom former KKK, an organisation the Nazis banned at first. After final victory was achieved in '47, the Reichskommissariat was slowly transformed to more civilian government, with South Carolina being the shining example for much of Dixieland. At first, Strom Thurmond was pleased to work with the German occupier, who seemed much more inclined to his way of thinking than the federal government had been. He was ordered to implement segregation to its fullest extent, and to fully separate the white population from all 'pollutants'. This Strom Thurmond did with a vigour, especially with regards to the black population. He rescinded most workplace protections for black Americans and began busting unions, especially those who had historically protected African Americans. On Jews he was more lenient, although his actions were still abhorrent. Following the ordinances, waves of racist violence descended on the South in 1950, with massive lynchings as a result. This was the first time Strom Thurmond began second-guessing his decision to throw in his lot with the Nazi occupiers, and in 1951, he started his underground railway to get Jewish Americans out of the country. However, for black people, he had no such regard; only for his daughter did he make an exception.

As the Nazis strengthened their position, and Rockwell rose to power, the demands of the occupation government became less and less lenient. After strict segregation, now black people were barred from many jobs. They were only allowed to do menial labour, and only labour for which no white workers could be found. As agricultural implements were confiscated for other production programs, many new badly paid agricultural jobs were 'created'. Especially in the cotton and peach industries. Since India had fallen to the Japanese, the Germans became more and more reliant on American cotton, which was extracted under inhumane conditions. After black partisan groups popped up, the Nazi government charged Strom Thurmond with finding a solution. He segregated the African-American community in their own neighbourhoods. Ghettos, in every sense of the word. In order to combat partisan activity, increase loyalty to the government, and to guard the new ghettos, Strom Thurmond recreated a new KKK, heavily regimented and based off the German SS. While the real SS allowed no competitor, the KKK was more of a civilian police force, though armed with their own weapons. Most of these people were volunteers, and just got a kick out of inflicting tremendous suffering on their fellow human beings. The money was good too; Strom Thurmond saw that as a way of siphoning some German money to American families who needed it most. Again, he was trying to find loopholes through which he could help white American families. The Nazis often made clear that, if he didn't do it, they would find someone who would, and Strom Thurmond could imagine what that kind of person could inflict.

Of course, in reality, the Nazis were never going to do to white Americans what they had done to Jews or black Americans. There was no need for it; wartime propaganda had pictured Germans as cruel and vicious, intent on harm and pain for the sake of itself. However, behind that cruelty was always some calculated motive of power, and in the US, the white Americans were the power base. The Nazis would help these white Americans at the expense of black Americans, just as Thurmond had been doing before the occupation. Thurmond was picturing himself as some subversive hero, while as a matter of fact, he was being fooled into easy compliance by a regime that was going to replace him some day anyway.

After the segregation into ghettos, violence decreased, and the KKK ranks swelled. Less and less SS personell was to be found south of the Mason-Dickson line, as the US south began patrolling itself. THe highest positions were still in Nazi hands, and there were informers everywhere, but these people needed very little convincing to turn on their fellow man. The ghettos in the SOuth would deteriorate fast, though. No access to hot water and medicine meant disease outbreaks were common, and despite the high walls and the daily marches to work, these diseases were spreading beyond the confines of the ghetto. Even worse, as long as there were black, human faces, white city dwellers could identify themselves with these people, and the number of charitable institutions for their welfare grew, as did the silent, hushed calls for a more humane treatment. An anonymous petition was sent to the Rockwell government to ask for leniency, which Rockwell sent straight to Strom Thurmond with the simple request that 'something be done about this situation'.

Thus, in 1955, the ghettos were emptied into the camps that had been constructed throughout the South. There were three kinds, following the Southern Plan that the combined governors, under Strom Thurmond's chairmanship, had concocted. The holding camps would provide temporary housing outside the city. From those holding camps, populations would be moved on to work camps. These work camps were enormous complexes centered around some form of labour, be it agricultural, heavy industrial or mining and logging. Those who could work were put to use. Those who could not would be sent onto Camps; miscellaneous, as they were called. These differed in size and operation, but the destruction of every kind of minority population as well as political dissidents, was their main objective, whether through starvation of meaningless work, or the gas chamber.

In 1957, Strom Turmond visited one of the miscellaneous camps for the first time. He was utterly horrified by what he saw there. This camp used a combination of hard labour, incredibly strict discipline, and the gas chamber in order to destroy as many people as they could. The hard labour consisted of digging the mass graves that were required; after every batch of people, those who worked the furnaces would be executed as well, so that every few weeks, the last traces were vanished. Even as there was no other power on earth to stop them, they still knew what they did was so utterly reprehensible, that they had to hide the evidence from themselves.

Strom Thurmond would not recover, mentally. A week later, he offered his resignation, only to be replaced by some KKK goon of high loyalty. He himself moved on to govern the system of working camps. Even now, he thought that he could still do something for his people, perhaps even for the black Americans. If he could show their hard work, he thought, maybe the government would allow them to live. If he could just show their value... Missing the fact that, as human beings, they had inherent value. But still clinging to racist ideology, even then, Strom Thurmond set about his foolhardy mission, which he is still on today, the year of our lord 1961. His faith in his ability and the government has deminished, but he is no rebel. There is very little he can do from his position, and he knows it, but he is also not willing to openly go against the government. After all, that would cost him his life, or at the very least his standing. And so far, Strom Thurmond is not willing to go. He just hopes that, after sin, he can at least contribute in the building of the white christian nation he has always envisioned, even if its birth were steeped in the blood of millions of innocents.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: John "Jack" Fitzgerald Kennedy
Age: Forty-one
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Ethnicity: Celtic [Irish]
Appearance: Many women would describe him as handsome, though much of this is due to confidence, charisma, and aura rather than appearance. Despite a reputation for being fashionable, much of this is based upon the company he keeps and crafted by mistresses he brings to social galas. Outside of formal arrangements he is not an extravagant person, and enjoys dressing in casual attire such as khaki pants and his favourite seersucker jacket. The casual dress (and distaste for overdressing) betrays an immensely wealthy upbringing, which be seen in much of his general mannerisms - he oozes class in how he behaves and holds himself. Picture.
Residence: 111 Irving Avenue, Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Also has residence in Bronxville, New York
Occupation: Socialite, newspaper editor, writer
Family:

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. (b. 1888) - Patriarch of the Kennedy family. Businessman, investor, politician. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. An ardent Anglophobe and anti-Semite; Kennedy Sr. was a supporter of appeasement and welcomed the success of Operation Sealion, sending a series of reports positively covering the Nazi invasion back to Washington. He was a key figure in the swift American recognition of Edward VII's government. Now a high-ranking Nazi bureaucrat.
Rose Kennedy (b. 1890) - Daughter of a former Mayor of Boston and Joe Kennedy Sr.'s wife, deeply embedded within the Boston social elite. One of the first women to be awarded the Cross of Honour of the American Mother.
Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (b. 1915) - Eldest child, former US Naval lieutenant and Kriegsmarine Korvettenkapitän. After graduating from Harvard in 1942, Joe Jr. enlisted with the United States Navy in the war against Japan, rising to the rank of lieutenant. Defected to the Nazis in early 1946 and became an officer in the Kriegsmarine, where he swiftly rose up the ranks. Now an officer within the SS.
Rosemary Kennedy (b. 1918) - Eldest daughter, "mentally retarded". After suffering from convulsions and mood swings her father arranged for her to have a prefrontal lobtomony in 1941 which left her with an extremely diminshed mental capacity. Institutionalised for years, after the Nazi invasion Joe Sr. had a house built for Rose to live, where she was taken care of by two nuns. Rosemary's situation is kept under a great deal of secrecy lest she be discovered by the Nazi authorities, something which would almost certainly lead to her death and great embarrassment for the Kennedy family. The Kennedy siblings are thus far unaware of what has happened to their sister.
Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy (b. 1920) - Prominent socialite. Having become well-integrated within London high society during the late 1930s, she stayed in the UK alongside her father during Operation Sea Lion. Formerly married to a member of the British aristocracy who was sympathetic to the Nazis, abandoning Catholicism to be married in one of the Reich churches. After her husband died on the continent fighting for the Reich, she returned to the New York in 1947 and remarried to a member of America's new Nazi elite. Prominent on the social circuits of London, New York, and Berlin.
Eunice Kennedy (b. 1921) - Executive Vice-President of the Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. Foundation, a not-for-profit research foundation which supports up-and-coming physicians with funding for experiments in order to make groundbreaking medical research.
Patricia Kennedy (b. 1924) - Based in Hollywood and harbours ambitions to be a film producer. Has appeared in and directed a number of small pro-Nazi films and theatrical productions.
Robert "Bobby" Kennedy (b. 1925) - Served in the Naval Reserve 1944-1946. After the Nazi invasion Bobby enrolled at Harvard university, the first intake of students after the establishment of the American Reich. Thereafter he enrolled at the University of Virginia School of Law. Ru Following a short period of working with the government, Bobby nows runs a small legal firm. Rumours of any involvement with the Resistance have thus far been proven to be baseless, politically-motivated attacks on the Kennedy family.
Jean Kennedy (b. 1928) - Media-shy diplomat and author. Married to the Reich's Ambassador to Ireland.
Edward "Ted" Kennedy (b. 1932) - The youngest child, Ted was just 14 when the Nazis came to power. The only Kennedy to eschew university (except for Rose) due to its Jewish influence, Ted joined the Heer upon turning 18. He has been steadily rising the ranks of the Reich's armed forces.

Religion: Baptised Roman Catholic but otherwise uninterested

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear? Nuclear holocaust. Having seen the after-effects of the Heisenberg Device that was used on D.C., the idea of nuclear weapons being used on more people and devastating the world is a terrifying thought to him.
Most intimate ambition? Jack Kennedy has not been allowed much ambition, as he and his brothers have primarily served to execute the fierce ambitions of his father. Originally his father hoped for him to go into politics, though this avenue has closed greatly since the invasion. Privately, Jack's ultimate ambition would be public service, though he also finds the idea of doing this difficult if having to serve the Reich. He harbours ambitions to win a Pulitzer prize, but also believes it to be a worthless award given to the most shameless government mouthpiece. Jack feels like a man who has been robbed of his ambition and future.
Loyalty? To the Reich, nominally. His primary loyalty is to his family, and there are sympathies towards the Resistance.
Three defining traits: Charismatic, articulate, philanderer

BIOGRAPHY
John "Jack" Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on 29 May 1917. The second son of Joe Kennedy Sr., Jack was the typical second son - in the shadow of his brother, both in his own eyes and his father's. Joe Sr. wanted Joe Jr. to become President of the United States - Jack was simply the spare in case that plan went awry. Despite this, Jack was most fortunate to be a member of the Kennedy family, an immensely wealthy political family originally from Ireland. However, he did not win the genetic lottery in its entirety - ever since his youth Jack Kennedy has been plagued with an incessant series of medical issues. From back spasms to gastrointestinal problems, digestive issues, spinal pain, Addison's disease, and he almost died from scarlet fever as a boy. The true extent to which Jack has been riddled with maladies all of his life is a closely guarded secret. The back issues are portrayed as an injury obtained during wartime heroism and college football, something which contributes to a macho image. His history of illnesses - and the cocktail of medicines and steroids he takes each day to treat it - known to a select few.

Kennedy attended Harvard College, graduating in 1940. His college thesis, which examined the policy of appeasement, was turned into a bestseller under the name of While England Slept which helped establish his reputation as a burgeoning writer. Afterwards he attempted to begin a military career. Despite originally being rejected from the navy due to chronic back issues, Jack's father was able to pull some strings and ensure that his son could join the ONI staff in 1941. In late 1941 Jack was given his first command, manning patrol torpedo (PT) boats in Panama and then the Pacific theatre. In 1943, after their boat was wrecked by a Japanese destroyer, Jack swam more than ten miles (seven of which were done whilst dragging a badly burned crewmate by the life jacket with his teeth) in order to find food and hail a rescue boat. For this act Kennedy was awarded the Purple Heart and the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, with numerous stories circulated that trumpeted his achievements and praised him as a war hero.

Jack sought retirement from the navy due to his physical issues but this was denied to the perilous state of the war with Japan. Instead he was released from active service and allowed leave indefinitely. During this period Jack became involved in his other passion outside of public service - writing. Kennedy Sr. arranged a position for his son via his friend William Randolph Heart, and Jack began to contribute to columns covering the Pacific Theatre as well as some events in Western Europe, where the Reich was swiftly establishing a stranglehold. Following the Nazi attack on the US Kennedy voluntarily returned to service and briefly saw further action back in the Pacific before American forces surrendered.

As per an agreement with his father, Jack agreed to serve in the Kriesgmarine for two years. He was given the cognate role of Kapitänleutnant, as was his elder brother Joseph, but unlike Joseph did not advance rank any further. In 1949 Jack was finally able to retire from military service, disguising his chronic illnesses as something obtained while lost at sea for more than a week in 1943. Jack retired from the Kriegsmarine on physical disability and was discharged with full honours.

After retiring, Jack was appointed as editor of the Boston Globe. With the blessing of the Reich, Kennedy Sr. had purchased the Globe and turned the daily into a mouthpiece for the American Nazi party. Jack set about trying to improve the fortunes of the stagnating local newspaper, expanding its reach with the aim of turning it into a successful newspaper which covered all of the New England region. Though obliged to act as part of the efficient propaganda machine, Jack has tried to improve the standards of journalism by focusing upon areas where the censors are less strict, such as in foreign affairs. The Globe is one of the best sources within the Reich for keeping up with events in the American Pacific and the Neutral Zone, and Jack has also authored popular books which examines the society of both the Pacific States and the Neutral Zone as well as their systems of government.

Very concrete and interesting concept, accepted.

GENERAL PROFILE OF REICHSJUGENDFÜHRER JESSE BENJAMIN STONER - PROVIDED BY RSHA AMT VII, FOR REICHSFÜHRER-SS HEINRICH HIMMLER

---

Name: Jesse Benjamin 'J.B.' Stoner, Junior
Age: Thirty-Seven (born 13 April 1924)
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: No Reported Deviancies (note: Stoner has visited establishments in Reichshauptstadt Amerika connected to Schellenberg's operation stemming from Salon Kitty in Germania. Formal surveillance of Stoner through these establishments is politely advised.)
Ethnicity: Arische (Anglo-Saxon)
Appearance: Stoner's apperance is what one might come to expect of our vassal-men hailing from Dixieland. Brown hair and a Brittonic facial structure are imposed over an altogether unremarkable physical figure. His outfits are chosen in the style of the Southern gentleman he perceives himself to be, generally sporting an American-domestic suit with a bow tie. With this in mind, his vigor and posture are what allow this American southerner to stand out from his peers; he possesses fervor and energy that give off the impression of a man ten years younger than he. A picture from his 1959 New Year's address to the Hitler Youth has been attached below, for the convenience of the Reichsführer-SS.

Residence: 80 N Ferry Rd, Shelter Island, Reichsgau Washington
Aside from his petty fiefdom in northern Georgia, Stoner has been granted an impressive residence past Long Island, converted from a 17th-century manor on Shelter Island. Stoner has largely stayed in the Long Island area, despite his own private disdain for sprawling cities such as the Reichshauptstadt.
Occupation: Herr Stoner serves as the Reichsjugendführer of the American branch of the Hitler Youth. In this position, he has strengthened the Reich's grip on the hearts and minds of young Americans, and has maintained cordial relations with the American SS, especially compared to relations between the two organizations here in Germania.
Family: Unusual for a man of his station, Stoner does not presently possess any immediate family. Marriage could prove to be a useful bargaining chip.
Religion: A true Christian in the Reich's image, Stoner is noted as a devout member of the Reichskirche. With this in mind, introduction of the German Faith Movement or similar revivals should be minimized in his presence.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear? Stoner's greatest fear noted by the RSHA is to see America fall into crypto-liberal degeneracy. A firm believer in our ideology and its promises for the racially pure, Stoner and his clique within the Hitler Youth are highly skeptical of many members of the Reich's bureaucracy, viewing them as opportunists who may permit subhumans to continue existing in an Aryan world. Stoner will be willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent the Reich from slipping into the hands of those deemed inferior.
Most intimate ambition? The ambitions of Herr Stoner are lofty indeed, considering his current office. Believing that the Reich is reinvigorated through targeted violence against the degenerate populations, Stoner desires to see bombing runs and bandit hunts against the refugees hiding in the Neutral Zone to make way for reclamation by true Americans loyal to the Reich, as well as the rapid liquidation of remaining forced laborers. Stoner does not appear to be concerned over whether he holds the reins in this next war against the untermensch of America; merely that the war is won.
Loyalty? Stoner is loyal to what he considers to be the true form National Socialism. Private conversations recorded by SD personnel indicate he views even Hitler's positions to be too moderate towards the impure; as such, we suspect that his allegiance to Germania depends on whether or not the Führer will permit more radical positions than the Party currently endorses. Within America, Stoner is expected to be more pragmatic, willing to work with many of the myriad factions in the Reich so long as they do not liberalize the regime beyond a certain point.
Three defining traits: Radical, Charismatic, and Violent sum up Herr Stoner in a few words. In his addresses to the Hitler Youth, Stoner has successfully invoked the old ideal of the American pioneer to stir up the hearts and minds of the young boys of America, and has seen success in portraying the 'Drive to the East' back in Europe in a similar romantic vein. Nevertheless, he has used these honeyed words to push his own agenda within America, to the point where Hitler Youth personnel have been reported to engage in skirmishes and bombings against refugees in the Neutral Zone.
Personality: For the sake of stability within Germany's sprawling empire, it is advised to keep Reichsjugendführer Stoner and his clique

BIOGRAPHY

After the Reich's successful conquest of the United States, there came the question of how to deal with the youth of America who would now be growing up under the shadow of the swastika. It was more than clear to the German authorities that the Boy Scouts of America and other such degenerate organizations needed to be dissolved and integrated into the Hitlerjugend, but the question remained as to how to find an American that was simultaneously entirely loyal to the Nazis and could still appeal to the young men who were expected to carry forth the torch Hitler had lit after transferring power to the locals. That man came in the form of J. B. Stoner.

Born to a family of modest means in the town of Lookout Mountain, Georgia, Jesse Benjamin Stoner was hardly what one would consider a model Aryan warrior. Left with a permanent limp from polio and the death of
both of his parents by the time he was 17, Stoner's future did not look particularly bright; and yet he found his salvation in the far-right of the post-Confederate south. Rechartering a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan at the age of 18, J.B. proved himself to be harshly anti-Semitic and racist towards African-Americans, to the point that his status in Southern politics looked to remain in the radical fringe for the rest of his political career.

The forecast for his life changed once again as the Wehrmacht swept upon the Atlantic Coast, tearing down the last bastion of democracy and dividing the spoils with its eastern ally. Stoner rapidly proved himself to be an eager collaborator with the Nazis, providing energy and zeal to the new regime in an area dominated by lethargic conservatives that sought to preserve their slice of America. It was little wonder, then, that Stoner was appointed Deputy to Arthur Axmann in 1951, leading the rapid integration of America's old youth organizations into Hitler's machine. For his services, Stoner received a promotion to National Youth Leader of the American section of the Hitler Youth in 1958. Today, Stoner remains in firm control of the young Americans, faithfully guiding them into a new Nazi world where they render the world pure...or die trying.

Writer's Note (OOC): Thank you for reading through my app! The Boy Scouts have an important place in my heart, so writing about how they could be destroyed and rendered nothing more than a Nazi imitation was a little painful, but simultaneously a good exercise in writing. I'd love to have constructive criticism to better develop the RP.

Private conversations recorded by SD personnel indicate he views even Hitler's positions to be too moderate towards the impure; as such, we suspect that his allegiance to Germania depends on whether or not the Führer will permit more radical positions than the Party currently endorses. Within America, Stoner is expected to be more pragmatic, willing to work with many of the myriad factions in the Reich so long as they do not liberalize the regime beyond a certain point.
Three defining traits: Radical, Charismatic, and Violent sum up Herr Stoner in a few words. In his addresses to the Hitler Youth, Stoner has successfully invoked the old ideal of the American pioneer to stir up the hearts and minds of the young boys of America, and has seen success in portraying the 'Drive to the East' back in Europe in a similar romantic vein. Nevertheless, he has used these honeyed words to push his own agenda within America, to the point where Hitler Youth personnel have been reported to engage in skirmishes and bombings against refugees in the Neutral Zone.
Personality: For the sake of stability within Germany's sprawling empire, it is advised to keep Reichsjugendführer Stoner and his clique

BIOGRAPHY

After the Reich's successful conquest of the United States, there came the question of how to deal with the youth of America who would now be growing up under the shadow of the swastika. It was more than clear to the German authorities that the Boy Scouts of America and other such degenerate organizations needed to be dissolved and integrated into the Hitlerjugend, but the question remained as to how to find an American that was simultaneously entirely loyal to the Nazis and could still appeal to the young men who were expected to carry forth the torch Hitler had lit after transferring power to the locals. That man came in the form of J. B. Stoner.

Born to a family of modest means in the town of Lookout Mountain, Georgia, Jesse Benjamin Stoner was hardly what one would consider a model Aryan warrior. Left with a permanent limp from polio and the death of
both of his parents by the time he was 17, Stoner's future did not look particularly bright; and yet he found his salvation in the far-right of the post-Confederate south. Rechartering a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan at the age of 18, J.B. proved himself to be harshly anti-Semitic and racist towards African-Americans, to the point that his status in Southern politics looked to remain in the radical fringe for the rest of his political career.

The forecast for his life changed once again as the Wehrmacht swept upon the Atlantic Coast, tearing down the last bastion of democracy and dividing the spoils with its eastern ally. Stoner rapidly proved himself to be an eager collaborator with the Nazis, providing energy and zeal to the new regime in an area dominated by lethargic conservatives that sought to preserve their slice of America. It was little wonder, then, that Stoner was appointed Deputy to Arthur Axmann in 1951, leading the rapid integration of America's old youth organizations into Hitler's machine. For his services, Stoner received a promotion to National Youth Leader of the American section of the Hitler Youth in 1958. Today, Stoner remains in firm control of the young Americans, faithfully guiding them into a new Nazi world where they render the world pure...or die trying.

Writer's Note (OOC): Thank you for reading through my app! The Boy Scouts have an important place in my heart, so writing about how they could be destroyed and rendered nothing more than a Nazi imitation was a little painful, but simultaneously a good exercise in writing. I'd love to have constructive criticism to better develop the RP.

Very good app! Make sure you go back to finish up the personality field, but after that, consider Stoner accepted.

[New Decius]

Apologies if I overstepped in my post about the present power players in the Reich. I was basing this off scholarly speculation regarding potential post-war periods, MITHC Lore, and a Hearts of Iron 4 Alt-History Mod called the New Order Last Days of Europe.

Basically it would be a breakdown of the following blocs

Himmler/Heydrich-SS Power Bloc
Göring-Representating the Militarists and Ultranationalists in the Party
Martin Bormann- The Party Conservatives seeking the Status Quo
Albert Speer/Hans Speidel- Reformist Faction seeking the liberalization of Nazism

And then the myriad underground groups hidden among the German elite seeking a variety of outcomes, from a democratic republic to a Hohenzollern Restorationon

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

I don’t know about the classification of Speer...

[New Decius]

I don’t know about the classification of Speer...

Though Speer did organize and manage the Nazi’s slave labor program, as well as support Hitler right up to the madman’s suicide, there is some evidence to suggest he may have covertly helped the underground Anti-Nazi movement in Germany though more likely to protect old friends than advance the cause. Though there’s also evidence to suggest Himmler had advanced knowledge of the 20 July Plot and allowed it to go forward.

Speer was an economist and architect at heart rather than a diehard Nazi, so he above all the others would know that the strict National Socialist system would only allow economic prosperity for so long as Germany can pillage from its conquered satellites and colonies. Thus liberalization of the system is an economic move to prevent any potential collapse.

That idea that Speer was somehow a moderate is largely his own opinion. Along with Dönitz he found out that the best defence strategy in Nüremberg was to admit guilt, but claim that you were somehow an internal saboteur or a moderate. Speer was one of the few high Nazis who lived long enough to write his memoirs, in which he paints a rather flattering image of himself. Our idea of Speer as liberal comes mainly from those accounts.

Oh I wouldn’t go as far as to call him a moderate, rather a pragmatist. Speer was a gifted economist and like those in the post-war period OTL, would know that the Nazi economic system could only survive for so long. I believe that he would push partial reformism of the system for economic reasons alone as opposed to any moral guilt.

Speidel is a bit more of an obvious liberal in fascist’s clothing. In OTL he was a member of the 20th July Plot, in fact he was the only high ranking member to survive the plot as he escaped prison before the Nazi’s could execute him. He sought to separate the military from the political apparatus so the Wehrmacht would serve the German People rather than the German State, and also was heavily opposed to the barbarism of the SS in the occupied territories, as many traditional and more morally minded German officers were.

I'm debating a second character. Because I'm playing a minor member of the resistance do I want to play a major member of the Nazi government, or play a minor member of the Nazi government. Thoughts anyone?

GENERAL PROFILE OF REICHSJUGENDFÜHRER JESSE BENJAMIN STONER - PROVIDED BY RSHA AMT VII, FOR REICHSFÜHRER-SS HEINRICH HIMMLER

---

Name: Jesse Benjamin 'J.B.' Stoner, Junior
Age: Thirty-Seven (born 13 April 1924)
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: No Reported Deviancies (note: Stoner has visited establishments in Reichshauptstadt Amerika connected to Schellenberg's operation stemming from Salon Kitty in Germania. Formal surveillance of Stoner through these establishments is politely advised.)
Ethnicity: Arische (Anglo-Saxon)
Appearance: Stoner's apperance is what one might come to expect of our vassal-men hailing from Dixieland. Brown hair and a Brittonic facial structure are imposed over an altogether unremarkable physical figure. His outfits are chosen in the style of the Southern gentleman he perceives himself to be, generally sporting an American-domestic suit with a bow tie. With this in mind, his vigor and posture are what allow this American southerner to stand out from his peers; he possesses fervor and energy that give off the impression of a man ten years younger than he. A picture from his 1959 New Year's address to the Hitler Youth has been attached below, for the convenience of the Reichsführer-SS.

Residence: 80 N Ferry Rd, Shelter Island, Reichsgau Washington
Aside from his petty fiefdom in northern Georgia, Stoner has been granted an impressive residence past Long Island, converted from a 17th-century manor on Shelter Island. Stoner has largely stayed in the Long Island area, despite his own private disdain for sprawling cities such as the Reichshauptstadt.
Occupation: Herr Stoner serves as the Reichsjugendführer of the American branch of the Hitler Youth. In this position, he has strengthened the Reich's grip on the hearts and minds of young Americans, and has maintained cordial relations with the American SS, especially compared to relations between the two organizations here in Germania.
Family: Unusual for a man of his station, Stoner does not presently possess any immediate family. Marriage could prove to be a useful bargaining chip.
Religion: A true Christian in the Reich's image, Stoner is noted as a devout member of the Reichskirche. With this in mind, introduction of the German Faith Movement or similar revivals should be minimized in his presence.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear? Stoner's greatest fear noted by the RSHA is to see America fall into crypto-liberal degeneracy. A firm believer in our ideology and its promises for the racially pure, Stoner and his clique within the Hitler Youth are highly skeptical of many members of the Reich's bureaucracy, viewing them as opportunists who may permit subhumans to continue existing in an Aryan world. Stoner will be willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent the Reich from slipping into the hands of those deemed inferior.
Most intimate ambition? The ambitions of Herr Stoner are lofty indeed, considering his current office. Believing that the Reich is reinvigorated through targeted violence against the degenerate populations, Stoner desires to see bombing runs and bandit hunts against the refugees hiding in the Neutral Zone to make way for reclamation by true Americans loyal to the Reich, as well as the rapid liquidation of remaining forced laborers. Stoner does not appear to be concerned over whether he holds the reins in this next war against the untermensch of America; merely that the war is won.
Loyalty? Stoner is loyal to what he considers to be the true form National Socialism. Private conversations recorded by SD personnel indicate he views even Hitler's positions to be too moderate towards the impure; as such, we suspect that his allegiance to Germania depends on whether or not the Führer will permit more radical positions than the Party currently endorses. Within America, Stoner is expected to be more pragmatic, willing to work with many of the myriad factions in the Reich so long as they do not liberalize the regime beyond a certain point.
Three defining traits: Radical, Charismatic, and Violent sum up Herr Stoner in a few words. In his addresses to the Hitler Youth, Stoner has successfully invoked the old ideal of the American pioneer to stir up the hearts and minds of the young boys of America, and has seen success in portraying the 'Drive to the East' back in Europe in a similar romantic vein. Nevertheless, he has used these honeyed words to push his own agenda within America, to the point where Hitler Youth personnel have been reported to engage in skirmishes and bombings against refugees in the Neutral Zone.
Personality: To those of significance within the Reich, Stoner's personality seems to be that of a true Southern gentleman; a charming strongman with honor in his heart and love for National Socialism in his mind. Interviews on television and radio broadcasts show a kind, Christian man whose devotion to the American youth and to the ideals of the Party set a high moral standard for the American Reich.

Privately, Stoner has demonstrated far less amicable tendencies. For example, the Reichsjugendführer has personally intervened in several disciplinary cases within the Hitler Youth as well as the League of American Girls, with the only determinable motivation being that he is entertained by the punishments doled out to those who fail to live up to the organization's standards. Furthemore, surveillance has indicated that Stoner's hatred for subhumans, though admirable, far exceeds the norm in America, to the point that legitimate accusations have been raised that the Hitler Youth on the western frontier may have been equipped with pump-action shotguns and improvised explosives. The SS recognizes the bravery in Stoner and the Hitler Youth fighting for the Aryan race; nevertheless, less orthodox factions within the American Reich may take issue with what they may incorrectly perceive as racial vigilantism against unarmed targets.

Addendum: Reichsführer-SS, I send my deepest apologies that additional personality details were redacted by an inexperienced clerk. He has been reassigned to Arbeitslager Attica, where his skills will prove infinitely more useful. Heil Hitler.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

I'm debating a second character. Because I'm playing a minor member of the resistance do I want to play a major member of the Nazi government, or play a minor member of the Nazi government. Thoughts anyone?

You can take any number of German Nazis, for example. Reinhard Heydrich is still open, for example. There are also still minister positions open.

[Yaruqo]

So, I saw that the Propaganda Minister went offline, and I was already thinking of a concept for a closeted aide to the Reichsminister of Justice who spies for the Resistance. But if you need a Reichsminister of Justice, I can try to alter some details (make him a little older, different family background, changes to bio) so as to make my concept meet what the RP needs. Currently very much a WIP

GENERAL INFORMATION
Name:

"Michael Prescott, a pleasure! My friends call me Mike, and both my closest friends and my enemies know me as Oculus."

Age:

"I was born on March 18th, 1926, so I just turned 35 a few months ago. Look, between you and me, growing up as a teenager is hard enough as it is. Try doing that in the midst of a fucking war. I thought puberty was gonna be the biggest pain in the ass I'd have to deal with. Christ, was I wrong."

Sex:

"I'm a man, simple enough."

Sexual Orientation:

"Look, I'm married to my job...at least that's what my goosestepping bosses are gonna hear anytime they try to hook me up with one of their daughters. To put it delicately, if some of these guys knew the truth about me, they'd probably light their right hands on fire."

Ethnicity:

"Perfect little WASP from Delaware. No other way to get into the Reich's bureaucracy than to look like their poster boy. I mean, sure I don't have the golden locks or blue eyes, but all they see is a white man with a lack of 'undesirables' in his family tree."

Appearance:

"White, green eyes, dark brown hair. I was 14 when the Germans secured the surrender of the American government, so I lived through some rough times, I'm still a little skinny despite my success since then. Probably not good for a fight, probably not very threatening looking - which doesn't hurt, I guess, if you don't want to be noticed in the office."

Residence:

"I live in New York, got a bit of an apartment in Queens. It's not much, but if things go sideways, I want to have as much disposable income as possible to get my ass to the Neutral Zone. I grew up in Delaware, Wilmington. Not much there, I can tell you that. Even before I knew what was what, I always dreamed of living in the big city. Real fucked up way of achieving that dream, I suppose."

Occupation:

"Through an inane amount of 'good fortune', I am one of the presiding judges of the Amerikanisches Reich Volksgerichtshof, the 'People's Court' that the Fuhrer was so fond of in the earlier days of his regime and that has been maintained and groomed since the end of the war. And my unpaid gig is passing along information to the Resistance. But we don't need to report that to the revenue department, do we? Would I like to be the Reichsminister of Justice some day? I mean, maybe, if it would help the resistance, but I don't think Rockwell or Berlin would elevate me to that position, and I don't know if I'd be able to avoid that level of scrutiny into my private life. It's hard enough as it is when you're basically a judge of an incredibly politicized judicial body."

Family:

"Don't judge me, but my parents are dead, and I'm glad they are. Loved them to the day they died, but if they were ever targeted...it's hard enough knowing my older sister is in the Neutral Zone. She fled, didn't want to be a traditional frau, she's always been a feminist type. I hope she is safe there, and I hope she knows that I said what I had to say in order to keep myself safe...and to further the cause. If I ever see her again...can we talk about something else?"

Religion:

"You ask my colleagues, I'm a devoted member of my local Reich Church. I attend services every week - though sometimes I'll skip a week or two, you can't look too perfect, otherwise they'll know you've got something to hide. Saw a couple neighbors get snatched cause of that. Don't know what happened to them, and quite frankly, I'm afraid to ask. Oh, right, sorry. I was raised Roman Catholic, I guess I still keep the tenets of the Church close to my heart, but for now, I have to be someone else. Story of my life."

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear?

"I want to be brave and say, 'Failing the cause of liberty, of democracy, of independence from the Nazi yoke.' But I have to tell you the truth. I'm afraid of being discovered - as a homosexual, as a spy. Just one of those things would either land me in front of a firing squad or a camp - yeah, you heard me right, who do you think has to look at those files? I'm afraid of dying. I'm afraid of torture. Will I give anyone up? Not willingly, but like all people...I can be broken."

Most intimate ambition?

"Where do I begin? I want a love that I cannot have, I want a government that has been shot and nuked and bombed and wasn't perfect to begin with, and I want a freedom that I haven't even remotely felt since I was a boy."

Loyalty?

"I am loyal to America."

Three defining traits:

"I'm cautious, I suppose. Chalk it up to my old man having worked insurance, learned a lot of lessons from him about how to assess risk. I'm probably more book smart than street smart, but I'm sure a lot of that is just common sense. And I guess in a way I'm invisible - I look and sound like the typical Nazi American, I'm not particularly tall, I don't really stand out outside of the professional field of things. I can blend in, and that's how I can see the things no one wants you to see, and that's exactly the kind of stuff the resistance needs to see."

Personality:

"I've told you pretty much everything about me. I'd rather not get too much into me, you never know who is listening."

BIOGRAPHY

"As I said, I was born in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1926. I had a sister who was 5 years older than me, my dad worked insurance, my mom was a typical housewife. My life wasn't that interesting until the war started to come to our shores. My dad was drafted to defend our shores, he actually got sent to Washington with a division of the Delaware National Guard. I was a junior in college when the bomb dropped. I haven't seen my dad since, so I imagine he died there. My mom...she wasn't the same after that. She couldn't raise my sister and I in this new world. She took her own life two years later - I'm actually amazed she held on for that long, but my mom tried to be strong for us. My sister and I remained close, even though I was in Philadelphia and she was in Wilmington. It was crazy, I had started at Temple for a pre-law degree, Criminal Justice, and then by the time I graduated, I had to complete that bachelor degree as a "Reich Justice" degree. I got high marks cause I knew what those fuckers wanted to hear. But there's not a lot of opportunities for us if we don't visibly toe the line. I basically worked up the academic ladder: got a Bachelor of Arts in Reich Justice at Temple University, in Philadelphia (was there when they took down the Liberty Bell...it's much smaller than people made it out to be), then I went to Yale for law school. It was during that time that two things happened to me: during my first year of law school, my sister ran away from the Reich, presumably to the Neutral Zone, unintentionally putting me in a compromising position; and then I met the son of our Reichsminister of Justice, Fred, and we became friends. I hadn't made contact with the resistance by that point, so it was a genuine friendship...one of the few genuine connections I've had. Look, I'm sure if someone reads this they'll think I was some traitor, but as you will discover, not all life revolved solely around the resistance or the Reich, you have to carve a little something for yourself in order to stay sane. And Christ, it was law school for crying out loud.

"Oh, my sister? Yeah, the Gestapo interviewed me, asking if I had known her plans to flee and all that. Truth be told, I didn't. I guess she was afraid that I'd spill the beans or wanted me to know as little as possible so as to not get in trouble with the authorities. Got some stink eye from the more established types. It was then I met Fred, and I guess he was picking up folks that would piss off daddy to be his friend, so someone with the Gestapo breathing down your neck fits the ticket. Before Fred had to go through military training, he was a totally different person, I'll tell you that much. But anyway, he got his old man to cover for me. I got my JD, and Fred wanted me in New York with him after we graduated, so he got me a job in the Reichsministry when I was 25, in 1951.

"It was actually a few months later that I got into contact with some resistance types. I can't go into the how, that'd be telling. But I managed to feed them some information that I guess helped out one of their cells avoid arrest. CONTROL? Never met them. Shit, I never met an Oracle, either. I'm not deep in the resistance, I'm just glad to be doing my part. Anyway, two years later, Fred is a totally different guy after his dad had sent him to the Army for some tough love, and I guess he took enough of a liking to me to make me one of his personal aides. That, or he wanted to keep an eye on me after his son pulled the strings for my employment. Or maybe he's a queer like I am...don't tell anyone else I made that joke, or I'll cut your throat. Fred and I, meanwhile, are still 'friends', but the kind of friend that is distant. Like a friend from college who you say 'Oh we should catch up!' and then never do. So anyway, I'm helping the Reichsminister out, and apparently I'm doing a good enough job that he wants to make me a judge in the People's Court in 1957. Sounds democratic, doesn't it? It's not. You have your actual criminal courts, and then you have the People's Court, which is where all of the political cases, all of the treason cases, and all of the 'undesirable' cases end up. It's stressful and it is as horrid as you could think. The Germans don't like how we drink, and I don't want to have loose lips anyway, so I can't turn to drugs or the bottle, but I've been a judge now for four years, and I don't know how much more of it I can take. Some day, I'm worried that I'm gonna slip up. Maybe I will. Maybe that day is tomorrow. But until that day comes, or until Lady fucking Liberty bashes down the doors of the Reichsministry with a Tommy gun in hand, I'll do what I can."

Name:"Rayk Holzhausen."
Age: "22 years old, I was born in 1939."
Sex: "I am quite clearly male."
Sexual Orientation: "I am a good heterosexual, I am not a degenerate." (Heterosexual)
Ethnicity: "Once again, I am no degenerate. I am Arian."
Appearance:

Fleischmann, Rayk. Physical Analysis.

Hauptsturmfuhrer Rayk Holzhausen stands at 1.85 meters tall, weighs 175 pounds. His figure is in athletic shape, and he is very capable of performing physical tasks in service to the Reich.

--- Schutzstaffel File 325467 [HOLZHAUSEN, RAYK]

Residence: "I have a residence in the Upper West Side, need to stay close to the Amerikanreichsfuhrer after all."
Occupation: "I am the commander of the Amerikanreichsfuhrer's SS personal guard."
Family: "I was permitted to marry 2 years ago, and my wife and I have had a male child. We are planning on having another child when our son is more grown up."
Religion: "I am Gottglaubig, I believe in the creator. But the pacifist Christian doctrines are too weak to be the mainstay of the Reich."
PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Greatest fear?: "I'll be honest, being turned on by the Reich. I've done things that I don't want done to me."
Most intimate ambition?: "I dream of one day becoming the Reichsführer-SS of some part of the Reich's territories."
Loyalty? "I am above all loyal to the Reich as a nation. In coordination with that I am loyal the the Fuhrer, and I am loyal to Amerikanreichsfuhrer Rockwell. Nothing goes above that, not even family."
Three defining traits:

As a fully indoctrinated member of the Reich and the SS, Holzhausen is driven (brutal) and unhesitant in carrying out his duties to the Reich. Even if those duties are morally questioned by those of a weaker will. He is fervently loyal to the Reich, and will do almost anything for it. Holzhausen is generally a reserved individual, not speaking unless spoken to in most cases. This has made him an excellent candidate for guard duties and ceremonial performances due to his already quiet nature.

--- Schutzstaffel File 325467 [HOLZHAUSEN, RAYK]

Personality:

While these reports have yet to be determined as accurate or not, Holzhausen's comrades from Russia and Africa have described him as stoically indifferent to the purges, or sometimes even enthusiastic about conducting them. Truth of these allegations has yet to be determined, however an unflinching conduction of his duties hints to some accuracy.

--- Schutzstaffel File 325467

BIOGRAPHY

"Well I don't believe there's much else to say besides what an SS file can tell you. I was born in Berlin in 1939, just as the war started. I'll be honest I didn't come from humble beginnings, while we weren't necessarily rich we didn't usually worry about where our next meal was going to come from. There were some food difficulties later in the war, but that's because our troops on the front fighting for the Fatherland needed them, so we could spare some food for the cause. I joined the Hitler Youth when I was of age, as any good German would, and spent the next few years training to faithfully serve the Fatherland. When I graduated at the age of 18, I was selected to join the SS, instead of the regular Wehrmacht. By this selection I, and my family, was honored and privileged to further serve the Fuhrer. I spent about a year in SS training and was inducted into the Allgemeine-SS. The war was over at that point, and it was time for cleaning-up of the territories. I was first sent to Russia. There I cleaned up the undesirables and secured the territory for the Fatherland. So good was I at that that I was selected for the Totenkampfverbande, as you can see by the skull and crossbones on my cap. I spent the next 2 years in Russia and Africa, securing the deportation of Jews, Slavs, and Africans to make way for the spread of the Arian race. There I earned several commendations for my work, and worked my way up through the ranks to my current rank of Hauptsturmfuhrer. My family had originally been protestant, but I converted to Gottglaubig when I deployed to Russia. I saw the weaker-willed members of my unit blanch at some of the things they were asked to do, and I wanted to separate myself from such weaknesses, so I converted the the SS religion. Ever since then it has made my duties all the much easier. Without any supposed restrictions imposed by a church. My actions earned me a reputation within the SS and the government as a whole. That reputation will have a different tone depending on who you ask. Such a reputation I earned that I was selected by Himmler himself to command the SS guard detachment for the Amerikanreichsfuhrer, an honor and duty I am more than willing to perform.

Do I think about my time in Russia and Africa? Not really. Nor do I regret what I did. I did it for Germany and for the Arian people around the world, and in my mind the ends do indeed justify the means. I will admit I've done things that I sometimes wish I hadn't had to do, but the memories do not keep me up at night. You can find various service details and the like in my file. SS file 325467 I believe it is. Any more questions?"
