Name: Guillaume Lucien Béringer
Age/DOB: 11 June 1927 (16)
Gender: Male

Physical Description:
Short, but wiry tough, with a sharp nose and a widow's peak in his hair, which is fine, straight and dirty blonde. He tries to stay well-scrubbed and neatly kept as if aware that others are judging him as a social class, and there is a bit of the bantam about him that comes across in the way he keeps his shoulders squared. He seems cold and indifferent much of the time and has that sort of tough demeanor that the fascists just love and a lot of Frenchmen really resent.

Skills:
- Wilderness skills, such as knife and rope handling and orientation, via the scouts.
- Mechanically competent; he can generally make basic repairs on things.
- When he joined the scouts, firearms training was left out, mostly at the behest of the Germans. He doesn't know how to shoot.
- Literate, courtesy of the Catholic Church
- Speaks Latin and English, courtesy of the Catholic Church
- Speaks German courtesy of serving the fuckers drinks and the Catholic Church.

History:
Guillaume was born to Marie Bertrand and Benjamin Béringer, a local railroad man who was subsequently killed during an accident on the railroads. Marie, in a tight spot, married one David Voclain, who was a factory mechanic for l'Est railroad, whose shop was in Épernay. Guillaume's family life was best described as a mess -- his mother married his stepfather out of a sense of what a decent family was, as informed by her heartfelt Catholicism. His stepfather was abusive and Guillaume took a lot of beatings growing up. He learned to guard his tongue and hate the man at the same time, and no amount of Church lay education could really scrub him of that attitude.

When France was invaded, David Voclain was killed by the Germans, a resister more along the lines of the type that didn't think it through so much. His own family, without any real means of support, were essentially to become beggars with a home, in difficult circumstances and barely able to support themselves. He still attended school at the behest of his mother, and joined scouting at the behest of his teacher, one Father Jaime O'Dare, an Irish Jesuit that became something of a surrogate father figure.

The French Scouts quickly became a tool of the Vichy French government, a puppet of the Germans, and they were being quickly steered toward obedience to Maréchal Pétain as a father figure of the nation. Guillaume was about to drop out of the scouts, but Father Jaime had a conversation with him. The old Jesuit explained that moral courage and physical courage were related, but not always the same, and that as a member of the Scouts, he could move about more freely and without suspicion. He could give the information to the old Jesuit, who knew how to handle it very discreetly. It was a risky conversation to have with a fifteen year old boy, but Guillaume agreed.

In the beginning, he had to dodge beatings from other boys, who thought he was a complete turncoat, but he also established himself as something of a 'reliable' person to the Milice and local police working for the Germans, while other boys were discouraged. It was grating to be mistrusted and reviled, but he carried on.

Subsequently, he was placed into a different sort of network as the old Jesuit found other duties and out of the necessity of creating cutouts, and as the resistance became more organized. He finds himself in a cell of other teenagers, passing messages and often counting heads, though he dropped out of scouting and Catholic school, using the excuse of needing to support his mother. He works at a cafe as a server, often interacting with the Germans and other collaborationists -- they think he is one of them.

Psychological Profile:

Guillaume is outwardly obedient and seemingly a follower type. That much is true in a sense that he considers himself a good soldier and someone that has martyred himself a bit for France. His relationship with father figures is complicated, but he learned how to be a 'good boy' in the way the German and Petainist scum like to see -- an obedient young man that has the sort of grit and hustle that fascists like and think they have. He knows how to talk the talk, mixing that religious sense of order he's been taught with the rhetoric of militarism and anti-communism, which is, after all, the song they like to hear. It's at the point where some of these Vichy types and the occasional German talk about getting him into the Legion Volontaire Francaise when he's old enough, or even into the Waffen-SS. Sometimes, he's not sure where the act ends and the real him begins anymore, as he seems endlessly enmeshed in this double life. For now, the Resistance wants information, and that's what he does. But he knows that De Gaulle and the Allies are coming, and if his lips sing "Die Fahne Hoch" his heart beats "Marseillaise." He is guarded, but that's because he saw the way 'good patriots' with loud mouths that wore their loyalties on their heart got shot down in 1940 and 1941. By 1943, they're a rare breed inside France.

Relatives/Relations/Contacts:

- Father Jaime O'Dare is still his confessor. By the same token, they don't talk business anymore. On the other hand, if in real trouble, Guilliame can go there. He is not sure how far up the ladder father Jaime is, and he doesn't want to know.
- Noxious' cafe owner's daughter character.
- His mother, who isn't political and thinks her son is in danger because he's a German sympathizer. She might, in the future, do something drastic.

Name: Jerome Babineaux
Age/DOB: 15 (4/6/1928 )
Gender: Male

Physical Description: Jerome has jet black hair with brown eyes. He has a skinny angular face with light freckles on his cheeks. He is 1.75 meters (5'9) and 140 pounds, skinny with knobby knees. Jerome also is far-sighted and wears a pair of spectacles to make up for his bad eyesight.

Skills: Jerome is an excellent shot with a rifle, learning from his uncle. Although needing glasses to see in close distances, his long range vision is more than adequate for potential sniping and sharpshooting tasks.

History: Jerome was born in 1928, the youngest of two children. Jerome's father, Giles, had served in the Great War and detested the fighting he saw there. He vowed to become a man of peace and work as a farmer. His emotional scars from the conflict caused Giles intense emotional pain that he tried to dull with the bottle. Abusive and often angry, Jerome and his older brother Henri often turned to their uncle Thomas for help. Thomas took the boys under his wing and protected them from their father. Unlike Giles, Thomas often liked to romanticize the brutality of the war. He saw the Germans as France's natural enemy and thought it would be a matter of time until the Hun awoke again to take on France.

Thomas filled both impressionable boy's heads with dreams of patriotism and battlefield glory. He taught them to shoot and drilled his militaristic doctrine into their heads. Henri signed up for the French Army as soon as he was old enough, Jerome would follow in his steps. Then in 1940, the Germans came like a plague of locusts, destroying the French forces with their mighty Blitzkrieg. Henri was killed in the fighting while Thomas, too old for service in the army, disappeared into the night with a group of like minded Frenchmen. Just before he left he gave Jerome careful instructions and to watch and wait. His time for glory would come.

Psychological Profile: Jerome's head has been filled with delusions of glorious battle from his uncle. He believes that it his duty to kill as many Nazis as possible, the only noble death one that involves taking out as many Germans as he can before he dies. The abuse from his father has also led to Jerome latching on to father figures, no matter their age. His uncle, local boys, and anybody Jerome feels he can trust earns his unquestionable loyalty and need to praise.

Relatives/Relations/Contacts:

Thomas Babineaux - Jerome's uncle, a veteran of the Great War, and a member of the French Resistance.
Henri Babineaux - Sergeant in the French Army, killed in action during the Battle of France.

Name: Marianne De Bellegarde
Age/DOB: 17 February 1928 (15)
Gender: Female

Physical Description:

Skills:
-Diplomacy, Marianne is a natural at calming down potentially violent situations when she herself isn't too afraid to stand up.
-Status, she is also the daughter of the late mayor as well as the adoptive daughter in all but name of the almighty Oberst of the town, the colonel in charge of the occupation, as such the germans (those familiar with the colonel at least) tend to be lenient with her.
-Speaks english, a second language is nothing too much for the daughter of a mayor.
-Speaks german, courtesy of the colonel Serclaes of the SS.

History:
When the germans came, of course they couldn't be expected to command the population from any place, it would be the town hall! And of course, you couldn't expect their officers to reside anywhere but the finest house in town, which was the Chateau also owned by the mayor. Bernard and Joséphine de Bellegarde didn't really have the choice to accept this fact and simply be happy that they weren't expelled from their homes, the germans even paid for the food they ate! All of this and of course the collaboration of Bernard did a lot to make the De Bellegarde seem like collaborators, leaders like Pétin, German lovers, hell, they even dusted out the old family genealogical tree to find germanic roots dating back to the Holy Roman Empire and Charlemagne, proving they were Aryans indeed. This did not last forever (In Bernard's case anyways), since it was discovered he used his proximity with Oberst Serclaes's HQ to communicate with the Résistance information about the Germans. He was of course executed.

This is where things became complicated for Marianne, she had been convinced her parents were pro-germans and thus had the thought that maybe they were not so bad, hell, apparently she was germanic herself! Plus, the Oberst had taken quite the liking in her while he resided in the house, but above all, he had taken quite the liking in Joséphine, now Bernard's widow and it seemed like she liked him back. Guess she had a new German step-father now. At least it was until Joséphine took a moment to have a private talk with Marianne, demanding she took some notes she had taken about the germans to one of her father's old contact. At first she didn't want to, saying that this was suicide, that they were better staying down. Joséphine admitted that she slept with the Oberst despite how disgusted she was by the man who killed her husband and that this had to mean something, she couldn't just do it for survival and if Marianne didn't take this to the Résistance, then it was meaningless and she would just stab the fucker in his sleep. At this point, Marianne had been more or less drafted in the Resistance.

Psychological Profile:
She isn't a fighter and while she can mingle with both the germans and the french, saying what each party wants to hear, she truly is just trying to survive, have her mother survive and in general get this business to cost the life of as less people as possible. She's a cynic and still considers things from both side of the fence and after all Serclaes told her about the Versaille treaty and to consider facts like how the French have a huge colonial empire to support them and the Germans never had any, as well as the horrors of communism, she can't help but to feel the Germans are still human beings that were wronged and that French people would have done the same in their place. She simply is non-violent, even after Serclaes killed her own father, she may resent him for that, but she wouldn't like to see him, or anyone, die.

Relatives/Relations/Contacts:
-Joséphine De Bellegarde: Barely even leaves the Chateau anymore, since everyone in town calls her the whore of the Colonel, but is still quite a valuable asset to the Resistance in secret.
-Oberst Gottfried Serclaes: Colonel in the SS and chief occupier of the town, joined the Nazi party when Hitler was in prison, a cultured and polite gentleman that truly believes that the French are great people like the Germans, but has a zealous hate of the jews, gypsies and other 'trash'. Likes to reference Parsifal, Lohengrin and german mythology in general. Is extremely convinced that the Germans are working for the whole good of Europe and that French and Germans are brothers merely divided by borders, both were after all of the same Carolingian Empire.

Name: Lilly Plourde
Age/DOB: 30 Mars 1926 (17)
Gender: Female

Physical Description:

Skills:
-Charm
-Bluff
-Multiple Life Management
-Incredible memory

History:
She made the heads of the boys of the village before and now she still does, but you add german soldiers to the mix. She is the daughter of a cafe owner where she also works, which happens to be the main nesting place for the local germans and collaborators. She guess she joined the Résistance naturally, she loved liberty, equality, fraternity, the ideals of the republic, the authoritarianism and the hate the germans brought with them disgusted her, all people are equal in her eyes. Before she had the habit to manage her love life like a factory manager would his departments and was notorious for having many boyfriends at the same time in an intricate web of lies and deceit. She didn't have anything to offer to serve the republic but this talent and thus she used it for the cause, one boyfriend here, tell another that it's just because he can provide for her, she loves him the most, tell this to another, but he must talk about it or their love would be broken and so forth. No wonder she doesn't need any paper to take orders at the cafe, her memory about names, faces, dates and facts is superhuman it seems.

Psychological Profile:
A free spirited lover, she tend to bond well with women but consider men little more than walking testosterone and it takes a lot for any man to be more than dumb muscle in her eyes although she tends to have some respect for male members of the resistance who can admire her handywork from outside of her machinations. She simply loves compliments about her cleverness.

Relatives/Relations/Contacts:
-Klaus Badenberg, of all the germans she has seduced, he is her official boyfriend. All the web of intrigue she has made circle around him and he also is the only german she cares about really. He was drafted and himself while he likes germany, is a fan more of the socialist part of national socialism and doesn't like that Germans have to invade other countries. Lilly really loves him and is somewhat subtlety trying to make him a turncoat, but there's no way to know how he'd react to that offer.

Name: Cerise Marchand
Age/DOB: April 26, 1927 (16)
Gender: Female

Physical Description:
162cm and about 59kg. Light brown hair, naturally curly/frizzy. Heart shaped face and light hazel eyes. Small framed body with a bit of remaining childhood weight.

Skills:
Cerise is adept at being motherly, or sisterly, as the occasion calls for. Organized and seemingly always ready for whatever is thrown at her. As her father is a tailor, she's picked up more than a few of his skills and talents. Full on disguises may take her some time, but if you need secret pockets, she can hook you up in a jiff. She’s also a pretty fantastic cook.

History:
The oldest of three children by six years, Cerise has already had her fair share of parenting in helping to raise her younger sister (10) and brother (7). Her parents met barely a year before she would be born, both members of a scarred generation who had seen too many family members and friends die to war or disease. Though perhaps they had rushed marriage, after only having known the other for a few months, these circumstances were reflected in the household and home they provided Cerise and later, her siblings.

Cerise grew up knowing she was loved, but in an overprotected and conservative environment. She chafed in that, as she grew older. The limitations, the worry, the responsibilities pushed and forced on her. Her parents had created an insular world that their daughter wanted nothing more than to break out of. When war threatened to ravage their lives once more, her parents did their best to hide the realities from all three children. But it wasn't something that could last forever. And so very unlike her parents, Cerise wanted to do something, anything, about it.

A school mate was the one to extend information about the resistance group Cerise joined. It is a secret she hides from many, but most painfully, her parents. But Cerise had been acting out already, her parents are concerned, but so far, unaware of their daughter's true activities. Cerise hides one other secret from both parents and peers. She is about two months pregnant. This has terrified her and she has no idea who to speak to about her condition. She told the father of her unborn child, the man she had been seeing, but he ended their relationship and has ignored her pleas for marriage or help.

Psychological Profile:
Cerise is a girl nearly a woman confused on how to do the right thing when there are two moral compasses. Though she has frequently rebelled against the strict nature of her parents, she has always felt guilt for her actions that have brought disappointment and anguish. In the midst of trying to figure out the balance between who she was and who her parents wanted her to be, a war happened. She has decided, against her parents’ better wishes if they knew, that doing what she could for the Resistance was more important, was vital to who she wanted to be.

Usually reserved, she is quick to offer others her shoulder or a friendly face to tell their woes. For her to do the same though, to confide in another, is quite unlikely. She keeps her problems and worries to herself, a byproduct of her very insular childhood.

Name: Jude Sauveterre
Age/DOB: September 26, 1925 (17)
Gender: Male

Physical Description: Standing at approximately 1.8 M (5’11) , and weighing approximately 75kg (167 lbs) and called at times a picture perfect representation of his father in his youth,, with a slightly muscular build from working with his father on the farm . His hair dark brown in color, that loops in lackadaisical curls that give him a perpetual just woken up look to him. His eyes were a darker shade of green bordering on brown, the same color as his father.

Skills: A mediocre shot with a rifle taught by his father to be used against predators that would want to harm their livestock, experienced with the use of most hand tools, horrible at cooking only able to make a barely edible stew.

History:
On the blistery September evening that Jude came into the world, Mr and Mrs Sauveterre received their first son, and the only child that would come forth from their relationship with one another. When Jude was two years old, his mother left Mr. Sauveterre for a Parisian businessman and left him on Christmas eve or so the story goes. And from that point onward Mr. Sauveterre was left to raise his son Jude, on his farm on the outskirts of town. For as long as the citizens could remember The Sauveterre family had raised their cattle outside of the town since, “Man and Cattle have been interloping with one another.”

Mr. Sauveterre like most men that began to really start their lives during the années folles, served his country during The Great War, in which he served as a balloon operator, searching the distant horizon for German artillery, so when the strikes came the boys in the trenches knew. He met a girl, and she fell in love with the stereotypical heroic soldier just coming home from the front. And for some time it was good, but all good things must come to an end and so did Mr and Mrs Sauveterre Relationship.

As a direct result Jude never really knew his mother, and his father refused to even mention her name.Living on their small farm outside of town, with limited contact with townsfolk except on market days. Jude had been raised from birth to be as his father, just another staunch cattle herder content to toil his days working away in the fields. One day he would marry and he would raise his sons along this time beaten path. It was how Mr. Sauveterre put it as, “Just how things were done.”

For most of his life Jude was happy with his life, he was never the smartest when it came to schooling. He would pass his tests, but he would never have the best grades or get awards, or accolades. He was more or less perfectly content to coast along, keeping his head down and hoping for the best. The most defining moment in his life was when he was a young lad, and he had his introduction to the event that would change him as a person.

But then by chance, when he and his father went into town to sell their good at market, he discovered an old worn out book called Calligrammes and inspired by this work among the others of such writers as Apollinaire, Éluard and Prévert. He began to write stories, poems, and the likes, for one had a lot of time on his hands when all one did was help raise cows. He began to gain friends in more intellectual circles, became more outgoing and became a much more friendly person. And this was life for Jude and his father, it was normal and as time goes on on would could find themselves to be content with normality.

But the Nazis came in droves and packs, and when France surrendered and the Vichy government was put into place, Jude’s life changed forever. The Nazis came to their home, to slaughter his father’s heard to feed their soldiers. Mr. Sauveterre would not let this happen. For you see the cows were grown and raised and were the offspring of his fathers cows, and his fathers cows etc. Kill all of them to feed the Nazis would have been like erasing a part of him. The Nazis of course being the understandable people that they were understood this and so they killed him along with his cows. A death that Jude thought in the end was rather fitting for his father and poetic for his father would of wanted to die with his cows.

Psychological Profile:
Some joined up with the resistance because it was the right thing to do, to serve their country and repel the invaders, Jude was not one of those people. He could be considered a hero in the loosest definition of the term. Thriving in a sense of apathy towards his fellow man, this taking the form of his coping mechanism refusing to acknowledge the tragedy around him, and just keeping his eyes stuck in the blinders like a horse, just looking towards his path ahead. While the idealistic fight because they believe that they can change the world, he fights because he has to, it is the only thing he can do at this point in time. Willing to crossing moral lines to survive, and because of this suffering from chronic moral compass degradation in the process. He might be the most adaptable to his situation, but he is not the most well adjusted, rather than learning to cope with his problems he just moves straight past them.

Please let me know if I need to change anything.
Name: Amedee Sabourine
Age/DOB: Fourteen, 29th of February, 1929
Gender: Female

Physical Description: Still a growing girl, Amedee’s height has yet to catch up with her. Standing at a disappointing 154 cm (around 5’1”) and weighing in at hardly a hundred pounds, her small appearance deceives many, though she often uses it to her advantage. Her eyes are her most appealing feature, being large, almond shaped, and green. Her hair is often messy, wavy and brunette, and reaches to her collarbones. Her nose is small and covered in freckles.

Skills:
>Diligence: Amedee might not always be the best at something but she’s always the first to try again after failing. Her determination and her diligence when trying something new make it easy for her to pick up new talents.
>Idealism: While being an idealist can often set someone up for disappointment, it’s a motivator for Amedee that keeps her going even in the toughest of situations. Her idealism prevents her from turning a blind eye to a bad situation. Because of this, she is an extremely moral person.

History: Like most of the other children so passionate about the resistance, Amedee didn’t have an easy life though she didn’t get the worst end of things. Her mother and father had always been extremely in love but also extremely poor. While her father was only a humble fishermen, making his living off of the Seine River, he had a debt to pay off due to more than a few nights of drunk gambling. It quickly became a problem for the whole family, though she was too young to fully understand it at the time, there were a number of occasions where the men came knocking on their door and her mother or her father would offer them whatever they had available though it was nowhere near enough. One morning her father left for work and never came back.

Her mother quickly remarried, fearing that she would be unable to support the two of them on her own. After losing her father, Amedee became less sociable. While she never outwardly rebelled in the household she began to act up around her schoolmates once she began secondary school. She often got into fights with her classmates. Her step father wasn’t an unkind man and though he never acted as a father figure, he still provided for them and, the year following the marriage, her mother bore him a son.

Though she didn’t have an ideal life, she was still blessed with a loving mother and a family, even if it wasn't the one she had wanted. While Amedee still holds some resentment towards her father for his gambling problem, she also reminisces about the love she saw between her parents while they had been alive. The idea of “ideal love” is something she often dreams about.

Psychological Profile: Amedee has a bad habit of being hot and cold. Half the time she acts as if she isn’t even in the room while the other half of the time her argumentative steak will flair up and she will end up in a fight. Of course that isn’t all that there is to her and she can get along well with people who have similar values as herself. A dreamer (and a bit of a hopeless romantic) by heart she spends a lot of her time thinking about what could be or what should be, and after so long she began trying to take things into her own hands. This inspired her in many ways and though she never openly talks about it, she began trying to change herself and the things around her for the better. The resistance is a result of that mind set.

Concerning her father working as a fisherman, I tried to find some more information on the Seine river relating to fishing and that time period but I couldn't seem to find anything, so if I'm wrong about that please let me know.

I may or may not add more, but here's what I have so far. I figured that her being Jewish would make her struggle much more personal since the Vichy regime was totally in league with the Nazis in deporting Jews >.<.

Name: Corine Baudin
Age/DOB: November 3rd, 1926(16)
Gender: Female
Physical Description:
Physically, Corine is already quite mature, standing at about 5' 6" and possessing a full adult female form. This is cause for confusion as many people actually believe her to be slightly older. Alongside this she also possesses a stocky figure, dark brunette hair, and hazel eyes.

Skills:
-Proficient in Yiddish(although is this really a skill when it's a language that could get you killed?)
-Proficient in German
-Fast-learner: When faced with a new skill Corine tends to be able to pick it up quite fast.

History: Originally born as Corine Lewinski, Corine is the daughter of a pair of French Jews. Naturally, they were loving and caring parents who loved their daughter dearly. However, as Nazism rose in Germany so did Anti-Semitism all over Europe. This left the young Corine's parents with a difficult decision: either they would bring up their daughter to a life of misery or they would give her up to a willing family to raise her into a proper French woman with little hint of her her true heritage. Naturally they chose the latter.

Upon securing all the proper paperwork, Corine parents gave her up to a couple unable to have children of their own. They raised the girl as their own, even giving her their surname in order to protect her real identity from those seeking to harm her. With this new identity, the young Corine lived out a pretty normal childhood attending school, seeing friends, etc. Despite knowing of her true identity it was a closely guarded secret she shared with nobody. She also had very limited contact with her birth parents.

In 1939 war broke out. This further confirmed Corine to protect her identity. Doing so she continued trying to live her life as normal but once the Vichy Regime took over Corine began living in fear, knowing that even a single leak could get her killed. However, it was the deportation of the country's Jews that finally prompted Corine to finally join the opposition. She knew herself that her reasons for joining were perhaps much more personal than others, but few even within the resistance caught wind of this in fear of betrayal. Motivated by this fear, she adopted yet another alias(or nom de guerre) for use on missions, "deux visage"(two-face).

Psychological Profile: Despite her role in the French Resistance movement, Corine is actually quite timid. This is often displayed by her reluctance to engage in some of the movement's more dangerous missions. However, it is something she knows she has to eventually learn to overcome for both her peoples' sake and her country's sake. Aside from this, however, she is also incredibly loyal to those she trusts and this is shown by her desire to protect those she cares about(hence her joining up in the first place). She also has a caring side and will often go out of her way to help out those younger and more vulnerable than her.

Member Offline since relaunch

Name Dayson

Age: 15

Gender Male

Physical Description:
the guy closest to the camera. Brown haired, olive skinned, red eyed.

Skills:
Marksmanship, He was a hunter before the invasion
Memory, he has a photographic memory

History Born into an unknown, Spanish family, Dayson was left on the streets of Paris at the age of three months. A communist couple, immigrants from the USSR and Portugal, adopted him on their way back from a meeting in the Fourth International(before 1963). As the couple touched down in France, they named the kid Renarto, and took him to their communist commune. There, he was introduced to Trotskyism, one of the five types of major socialism(Marxism, Leninism, Anarcho-communism, socialism, and Trotskyism). Eventually, the Nazis came to power in neighboring Germany in 1933, and some of the people in the Commune left to join the Anti-Nazi communist fighters. Once the Spanish Civil War broke out, he joined with first the Nationalists, then the anarchists, then after they fell he joined with the Nationalists again. Once he came home, he was greeted by a France in war. Pretty soon, he joined the militia fighting the invaders, but then, when the Commune fell, his adoptive father handed him a knife, grenade, and a revolver with three shots loaded(one for an enemy, one for a friend, and one for him) and a map with contacts listed on it. Eventually, he was able to get to a contact, who renamed him Dayson and introduced him to the French Resistance.

Psychological Profile Arrogant and stubborn, he believes firmly in Trotskyism and any attempts to insult it result in a fist fight. Most people describe as hot tempered and punchy.

Age/DOB: 17 ( June 29th 1926)
Gender: Male

Physical Description:
Tall and a little thin enjolras is quite striking possesing a handsome silhouette. his hair is a dark brown and his face is covered in light freckles a feature left by his unkown father. His hands are rough and blistered from farm work and his skin is lightly tanned for the same reason.

Skills: He is quite experianced in stealing items varying from pick pocketing to petty theivery
- He is quite talented in mechanics while used to fixing farm machinery he can decently deal with other types of machinery
- While not a crack shot he is pretty good with a hunting rifle or shotgun which he learned from his days of shooting rabbits who wandered into the crops.
- He has alot of ingenuity being able to improvise and able to think quickly.

History:
Born to a single mother Enjolras never knew his father aside from what his mother told him. According to her his father was a solider in the british army and had a short relationship with her during the great war but as for wither he survived or was killed in the trenchs she doesnt know. Enjolras grew up in a small farming village a few miles from epernay there he lived with his mother and his Uncle Lamar and his family. As a young boy Enjolras usually spent most of his time in the fields working with his uncle and helping him repair the farming equipment. It was in the small village Enjolras meet a old preist named Father Danel. The good father taught Enjolras how to ready in write (In leiu of there being a village school house) it was during these long hours of studying and tutoring that the father told him many stories of great leaders such as napoeleon and charlamagne inspired by these stories Enjolras wanted to enroll in a military academy. His uncle Lamar seeing this as a chance to gain honor for the La roche family and help secure a livley hood for himself and his family when they grew old offered to fund Enjolras tution. Scraping up the little money they had they sent him to the Ecole Militaire in Paris. There he spent one year studying before the war broke out. Fearing for his family he deserted the school and fled back to epernay. There he watched as his homeland fell into ruin. In 1941 his uncle was killed for resistance activities as his own sons where too young he left the farm to Enjolras. but Enjolras couldnt sit idly by at the farm when his friends and cousins one by one went off to fight for the resistance. Asking Father Danel now old and tired to watch the farm and his family Enjolras left the small village to go to Epernay and join the resistance.

Psychological Profile:
Smart and witty Enjolras is much wiser than his farm boy appearances give off. He has dellousions of greatness in himself causing him to sometimes be too cocky and reckless but for the most part he is cunnign and tactical. He is very open against the Vichy regieme and this has almost gotten him into trouble a few times. The girls find him very charming and endearing although he can at times be a bit boastful of his accomplishments.
Relatives/Relatioorns/Contacts:

Name:
Delphine Bonnie Petiot
Age/DOB:
15 ; December 3 1928
Gender:
Female

Physical Description:



Skills/Psychological Profile:

-Fluent in French, Latin (Catholic), German (bar/café worker) and bits of other languages she has picked up working in the bar.
-Charismatic to a tee with patience to match; probably stems from tolerating café patrons.
-Silver tongued; she has always been able to talk herself out of a situation.
-Psychologically manipulative. Almost always appear trustworthy. Perhaps her physique, or her mannerisms, or her soft spoken/coy nature; people usually find themselves relinquishing private information and taking her words at face value.
-Borderline Machiavellian personality behavior; The Prince is her favorite novel.

History:

Delphine is the 3rd child born to Jean and Marion Petiot. Her parents were born in Paris. Her mother, Marion, was raised in a Catholic orphanage and her father came from a family of shop workers that were barely clinging to middle class. They met and married young and decided to strike out away from the city. That seemed ages ago, though their childhood is worth mention because the nurture aspect continued to affect their children. Delphine’s parents had always been the “keep your head down and be invisible” types.

They opened the bar/café “Porte Cachée”; they worked hard and they went to church, and most importantly they kept their mouths closed. They were the neighbors that no one even bothered to gossip about. Even their children, and they had 7 in good Catholic fashion, adapted to this silent meek personality. All except Delphine and her eldest brother Bertrand.

When France began to turn against its own people her brother Bertrand, who was by far her favorite sibling and her only true friend, was “recruited”. Her parents were convinced that in the long run this was a good thing. Her brother would learn to mellow his personality and their house would have contributed to the Vichy. They smiled and hugged her brother. They let him/made him leave, and she would never forgive any of them.

She rested on her knees, hands crossed, and spoke to the Father about all of the anger that was building up inside her. Why couldn’t God give her the temperament and ability to accept what was? The father spoke to her then as he would any child. He attempted to quell her anger and lead her down a path of forgiveness. It wasn’t until she exited confession that the Father offered up another path. A path would give her anger a path of expression that would not lead to a sickness and a corruption in her soul.

Porte Cachée thrived in the Vichy rule. This influenced her parents to become even more accepting of the new politics than they already were. She feigned a change of heart after her conversation with the Priest, easily passing her anger off as normal teenage rebellion/angst. Her parent's accepted this, mainly because they wanted to believe that their 2nd rebellious child had turned over a new leaf. She even offered to pick up more and more work at the Café and eased the burden of parenthood and bar management for her parents.
