[OOC] Band of Bastards- WW2 Heist/Espionage RP

[DepressedSoviet]

I'll have a character up tomorrow morning. The past few days have been a bit hectic, so that's the next real free period I'll have.

[DepressedSoviet]

@kingkonradManaged to get a character together today. I tried to balance out his access to resources and his rank, by making him very likely to run away at the first sign of trouble, as well as possibly ratting out the others.

Leopold Schulz

Name (or known Aliases): Sturmbannführer Leopold Schulz, nicknamed 'Kaltenbrunner's Rat', operates under the name Tannenbaum, due to his relations with the planned invasion of Switzerland.

Age: 40

Nationality: German, Specifically Prussian

Affiliation: Officially, he's a ranking officer in the SS Sicherheitsdienst(Security Service), though with the increasing appearance of the collapse of the Reich, he's using his contacts in the Intelligence community to find himself an out.

Role: Intelligence officer

Appearance:

Personality: Schulz is a rat of a man, striking out only when cornered or given an ample opportunity, and preferring to turn-tail and run at the first sign of trouble. He speaks and behaves with the mannerisms and attitude one would expect of Prussian nobility, but when treated particularly harsh or met with researched criticism, he turns into a blubbering, cowardly fool. His real traits are his ability to seemingly pass unnoticed, and his ample backroom dealings, and constant backstabbings.

Service History: Schulz was born into a Prussian noble family in 1903, his father an officer in the army at the time, and serving during the First World War. When the monarchy was abolished, and economy crashed, Schulz' family managed to stay afloat, though they ate through most of their wealth and savings. When the NSDAP began to take center-stage in 1929, Leopold saw it as a chance to reclaim the former glory of his family, and their vast wealth that had been lost. Using the weight of his family name, he managed to begin his career in the Schutzstaffel, as an Untersturmführer, originally in the Waffen-SS, but eventually transferring to the SD in 1933. By 1939 he held the rank of Hauptsturmführer, and was a renowned member of both the SD, and the general German elite, having used his rank and noble birth to garner significant wealth in German business dealings. By January of 1943, he had gained his current rank of Sturmbannführer, and was beginning to notice the cracks in the workings of the Reich. By the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, He knew that the proverbial ship was starting to sink, and he did not want to go down with it. Over the next 10 months, he began to work with his contacts and allies in the intelligence agency, securing himself a route out of Germany, before the allies arrived. He began to sell off or liquidize most of his German assets, collecting as much money as he could. Now, he's been contacted by a figure known as 'Centurion', who aims to gather a large shipment of gold from the Nazis by directing it through Switzerland. With many Swiss contacts, Schulz decides that this might be a good plan for him to get in on, and agrees to aid in the operation, adding his resources to the collective pool.

Other: Schulz has contacts in both the SS, and Switzerland, as well as access to monetary finances. However, he's a coward when things get heated and he won't hesitate to take what he has left and flee if things go too far south too quickly. He's a remarkable asset to have, but he can quickly turn into a liability if things go wrong.

Alright, so now that I've been on this site a little bit longer and I'm starting to understand how things work, I should probably apologize for just posting my CS in that tab right away without vetting it in the OOC first. Is there anything that needs changing?

Also, I was considering just giving Simona her leg back, and turning her injury into something a bit less debilitating, like a simple bad knee that leaves her with a limp and makes her unable to run quickly. Does anyone think that this is a good idea/necessary?

[FourtyTwo]

@DepressedSoviet

He's accepted, awesome char :)

@Force and Fury

Nope, I'm fine with it. It's not a problem, not massively at least. With the injury, it's your call really. Whatever affects her participation really- probably a limp allows her to at least post up in a position to do some damage or get involved in something else.

[FourtyTwo]

Gonna write up the first IC post. Everyone who is in here so far is accepted- so you can post straightaway. It's gonna be a bit of a moving intro- bring a gun. Shit's about to get real.

[JDolan]

I'm posting my character now into the CS area - and will be updating the personality and appearance area as I have time, plus all sorts of other relevant details with time.

@JDolan@Force and Fury@DepressedSoviet@BigPapaBelial@ONL@Ulstermann

We are on. It's a nice little setup- in the backroom of a beerhall, with the scene set for what happens next. Have your characters meet in there- I've placed Jakob and Robert to begin with, and others can join in. Dresscode is either undercover or full Nazi. It isn't just yet the time to go full commando and hose everyone down inside the beerhall.....

yet

[FourtyTwo]

Bump :P

@BigPapaBelial@DepressedSoviet@Ulstermann@JDolan

Let's keep this moving :)

[BigPapaBelial]

Oh right knew I was forgetting something!

EDIT

OKay I think I need to rethink my character. Because I can't for the life of me figure out a reason why a deep cover agent would go and meet up with people he's never met before in a bar he has no reason to be in.

[ONL]

@BigPapaBelialBeer. Beer is reason enough.

[BigPapaBelial]

Okay sorry it took so long, and sorry for the lack lustre post. But I'm here finally!

[Force and Fury]

Hmm, I thought that we were on the upper floor and Lausitz is on the lower floor. Am I wrong and did I derp on that one?

[BigPapaBelial]

I'm not sure now. I may have gotten it wrong. Let me reread somethings.

[FourtyTwo]

@Force and Fury@BigPapaBelial

He's on the groundfloor. We're upstairs.

[BigPapaBelial]

okay yeah I got it wrong then. I'll rewrite my post here in abit. I'm hip deep in a game of RTK13...just give me a second

[Force and Fury]

Just out of curiosity, are we going to be implementing a strict post order?

[FourtyTwo]

@Force and Fury

Not massively, but don't double post-overlap. I'm giving it another day to let people in before I post to keep it moving forward :)

[BigPapaBelial]

I need to finish off my character too. Figure it all out.

[Force and Fury]

So, uh... anything happening with this?

[ONL]

@Force and FuryI wished, but seen as @DepressedSoviet@JDolan@Ulstermann have seemingly dissapparead from the face of the Earth, we're most likely just in a state of limbo. Now if there was just some way of gaining their attention and give them a good trashing....
