@DepressedSovietI know your gonna hate me, but I am thinking of making a ww1 (I know you hate that) stretcher bearer. that way he ISNT a battle hardened veteran. But someone who can do medicine and run fast. I was also thinking of having him with a Webley revolver as purely personal defence as there is no point in having a rifle if you are charging into the fray of battle

@UserI hate to break it to you, but the aspect of your character that's the biggest issue is the idea of a medical character. We've already got our medic in 13org's character, who's both a combat medic and a field doctor, so he covers just about everything we could need in that field.

For everyone else: Expect an intro post today. I've gone through some brainstorming, gonna finish up a plan, and it'll be up.

I think you're next to post, at least if this is the turn order we've established.

Late, but here he is.

Nᴀᴍᴇ	Bruno Leuthard

Aɢᴇ	23

Pʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟ Aᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ	Bruno is an average lad, standing at about 5'7" and weighing in around 150 lb. He was lean like a boxer, and had some muscle to him that he built up over the years. Bruno resembled both his German father and his French mother. His skin was of a fair tone which complimented his facial features which were strong and chiseled, most notably around his jawline. 

        His hair, a dark umber, was kept buzzed around his ears and at the bottom. It was a short military length (but not yet crop top length) on the sides, but Bruno liked to keep it slightly longer on the top and slicked back neatly. In terms of facial hair, Bruno keeps a clean cut, or at most, very light stubble.

Uɴɪᴛ Pʀᴏꜰᴇssɪᴏɴ	Rifleman

Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ	Bruno's parents taught him his please and thank you's very well. Generally, Bruno is a polite and respectful individual both to his friends and his superiors. He believes a diplomatic approach to hostile situations should be attempted first before any rash decisions are made. However, this doesn't mean that he is weak. He is a very disciplined, strong-willed individual who will not hesitate to use violence if a social situation is escalated to that point. Bruno keeps to a fairly strict "3 strikes" rule and doesn't deviate from it very often. It is his understanding that a simple and direct solution to a problem is the best path to success, and that problems should always be dealt with head on. Overall, he is an unshaken optimist who's loyal to his friends and family.

Hɪsᴛᴏʀʏ	 Bruno was born to a working class family on the outskirts of Zürich, Switzerland in 1897 while the powder keg in Europe was forming. His family could have been considered upper-working class for the wealth they obtained. Bruno's father was a military officer and his mother weaved blankets for both a living and as a hobby. His family could only afford to pay for his education until 1913 when Bruno was conscripted into the Swiss military at the age of 16. Due to the fact that Switzerland was a multicultural hub crushed between three superpowers (Germany, France, & Italy), he was required to learn German, French, and Italian.

	Though was given thorough military training, due to Switzerland's neutrality during the first world war, he never actually saw any action on the battlefield. His older half-brother however, who he considered a full brother, was an infantry unit in the German military and would write him letters from in the trenches. Amid his experience, he obtained the rank of Oberwachtmeister before leaving the military after the war in 1918 at the age of 21. Keeping his K11 rifle, he became an immigration officer at the border between Switzerland and Germany so he could earn enough money to take care of his mother and father during their retirement, as well as his half-brother who was now a wounded war veteran that was staying with them. Bruno held that position for two years, but when savings were running low, it was clear that Bruno wasn't making enough to maintain his family, so he immigrated to the fairly new state of Borovia in search of opportunity. Upon contact with the Baron and enlisted in the blackshirts to forcefully suppress rumors of a revolution.

EǫᴜɪᴘᴍᴇɴᴛSchmidt–Rubin Model 1911 "K11" Rifle, w/ bayonet.
7.5×55mm Swiss rounds.
Frommer Stop Pistol.
Water canteen.
Club.

Pʀᴏᴍɪɴᴇɴᴛ SᴋɪʟʟsAnalytical skills: Bruno is very perceptive and has a keen eye for reading peoples faces. This was developed when he was an immigration officer at the border of Switzerland and Germany.
Military training: During his military training, Bruno became an excellent marksman -- best of his squad. He also learned how to use his bayonet effectively and was part of a ski platoon that patrolled the Swiss alps.
Multi-lingual: Fluent in German, French, and Italian.
Charismatic: Bruno has a way with words that are slick and persuasive. He got this talent from his dad, and tends to use it to his advantage sometimes.

@SabotageLooks good to me! Go ahead and throw him on over into the characters tab. We should be able to fit you in, if you make a post of him getting reassigned to our group, and rushing over to catch up and explain the situation before we leave.

@DepressedSoviet I mean, arguably, he could just do stuff alongside everyone else as if he'd been there the whole time, only very quiet about it. Just a thought.

@DepressedSovietA question if I may, should I just assume Servác knows where to go or that Josef has told him previously...?

So I did a mockup of some uniforms using a character creator. These are what's ISSUED to those who become full-fledged Blackshirts, though modifications/customization is welcome to the field uniforms, such as adding a helmet if you have one.

The Standard Blackshirts uniform consists of a khaki undershirt worn with a cloth field shirt and pants, and black leather boots. A green armband emblazoned with an Iron Cross is the identifying marker, worn on the left sleeve. A black beret is issued as standard, as is a y-belt with pouches designed to hold M1895 en-bloc clips.

The cavalry uniform is fairly similar to the infantry uniform, though with a field cavalry coat instead of an overshirt, and a peaked cap in place of the beret.

In the winter months, everyone is issued a khaki scarf to cover the mouth and neck, as well as a winter cap made of thick fur and cloth. The infantry are issued black greatcoats, still bearing the identifying armband on the left sleeve. The cavalry receive a thicker cavalry coat, which is designed to be shorter than the infantry greatcoat, so as to not impede the rider, while still allowing for protection from the cold. Thick wool gloves are also issued to everyone.

In parade and marches, uniforms are expected to have any modification beyond helmets removed.

@Lady SeluneI used Heromachine 3. It uses a parts-based system that's kind-of drag-and-drop to let you build characters. They've got parts from all sorts of different genres, and even actual stuff from Fallout/Star Wars and other universes. It's a really handy tool, I use it all the time when art/images for concepts in my head don't exist.

@CommodoreThe basic infantry uniform, though(not shown due to limitations of heromachine) there'd be identification epaulets on the overshirt to mark him as a member of the vehicle corps, rather than the line infantry.
