    Schenk der Reserve noch ein! (Aussie&Katelyn) OOC


    Indivisibiliter ac Inseparabiliter

    The year is 1919, but this isn't our 1919. In 1890, the Kingdom of Romania, the Principality of Bulgaria, the Kingdom of Serbia, Albania, and Montenegro united to form the Balkan Kingdom. They became a powerhouse that rivalled the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottomans, needless to say the Russians. As their prestige grew, the Greeks were admitted in 1900, and they formed an alliance with the British, the French, and the Italians. With the Kingdom having rather sour relations with the Austro-Hungarians, that meant that the Archduke wasn't assassinated, as they didn't enter the city, which was under the control of the Balkan Kingdom. But, this meant the powers of Europe continued to built up in power.

    In 1918, the whole thing finally blew up. The Russians, demanding a region in Poland from the Germans, invaded, who were backed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The British and the French stayed neutral, however, and the Balkan Kingdom entered on the side of the Germans. The Russians are being pushed back everyday, and the war is going very badly. The Balkans have committed three divisions into the fight by 1919, and all are ready for the fight.

    Just some basics for the Imperial Balkan Army:
    Uniform
    Helmet
    Standard rifle (Lee-Metford.) Typically has a bayonet with it.
    The soldiers also have a entrenching tool, a canteen, and a backpack with assorted supplies, typically personal effects and sleeping gear.

    Name: Mihail Bălan
    Age: 19
    Appearance:


    Rank(For me, obviously): Fruntaş (Private First Class)
    Biography:
    Mihail Serafim Bălan was born on in a small farming community in Romania. His parents were both farmers; his father tended to the crops whilst his mother cared for the animals. He had five brothers and three sisters, each of varying ages. His father, however, wanted him to get out of the farming community. He made it possible for Mihail to go to school in the town, and Mihail received a formal education. At the age of 16, he moved to Constana, which was the closest city. He found himself drifting from job to job, doing odd jobs before the war with the Russians began. Then, he signed up for the Imperial Balkan Army, served three weeks of basic training, and was assigned to the 44. Infanterie Regiment, and assigned to the Ukrainian Front.

    Name: Abigail Jenson
    Age:20
    Appearance:

    Biography: Being a time when women of her class were rarely allowed to work toward anything other than being wealthy, diplomatic and domesticated to some degree, Abby forged a different road. Her uncle Parker, always considering her one of his favorites, helped her to obtain an internship with the local post, shortly after it was created. She would be heading out to differing places the war touched, to become a historical scribe of sorts and report back as to her findings. Her family was less than pleased, but she talked them into giving her just two years of this adventure and then she'd come back and slip into her role of royalty. No one would know her history, her life, her heritage because blending in was the difference between getting the story and getting sent home. She's a fighter and an adventuresome girl of sorts, but a princess - never...

    If, after we have recognized intuitively a number of simple truths, we wish to draw any inference from them, it is useful to run them over in a continuous and uninterrupted act of thought, to reflect upon their relations to one another, and to grasp together distinctly a number of these propositions so far as is possible at the same time. For this is a way of making our knowledge much more certain, and of greatly increasing the power of the mind.

    We ought to give the whole of our attention to the most insignificant and most easily mastered facts, and remain a long time in contemplation of them until we are accustomed to behold the truth clearly and distinctly.

    The Meditator reasons that he need only find some reason to doubt his present opinions in order to prompt him to seek sturdier foundations for his knowledge. Rather than doubt every one of his opinions individually, he reasons that he might cast them all into doubt if he can doubt the foundations and basic principles upon which his opinions are founded.
