Tomorrow and thursday aren't great for me, but don't let me hold you back.CosmicCommander said:
Well school starts Thursday for me, and I'll be semi-free tomorrow. So no day is particularly good, but as long as the RP doesn't move too fast it should be fine. The weekend would be the best though. Don't bother putting it off so long just for me though.
Since whnever seems to be the general feel, I have to opt for Tomorrow at 3:00 PM GMT, buttake your time to post, I'll simply be playin' some TF2!
I'll post the lucky few sheets in the Starting Post, I'll be accepting the cream of the crop, my deepest apologies to those rejected!Aqualung said:
Well, have fun to those who are accepted!
That's fine, as long as you can integrate me into the story a little later on (if I am picked). I'll be back from London on Friday, so I'll be able to post then.CosmicCommander said:
Of course! I've had enough experience with participating in/hosting RPGs to know that my character sheet will have to be damn good to get in with all of these other greats.CosmicCommander said:
Name: Wilhelm Farskov
Gender: Male
Date Of Birth: August 31, 1967
Appearance: Wilhelm does not have any outstanding features. He stands at an imposing 6'5 and has a tendency to tower over people. He weighs in at over 200 pounds, but is built of much more muscle than fat. Rather than pale skin, like you would you would expect of a man with Nordic origins, he has a farmer's tan. His hair used to be blond, but it is sprinkled with gray now, and is hidden by a crew cut. His eyes are stark blue, and a persistent five-o-clock shadow adorns his face. He is wearing an orange tee shirt and boot-cut jeans. His feet are covered by a pair of tan leather boots, and he wears square-framed glasses.
Personality: Wilhelm has an above average I.Q. and as a result often finds himself looking down upon other people that have not been considered for the Nobel Prize. He tries to keep up the persona of a strong, stoic man on the outside, but on the inside he prefers to rally behind others and give them the support they need to be successful. He is in no way the kind of person that would rise up and be a leader. He would rather be by himself and given some time to brood. Even farther down within the confines of his mind is an extreme fear of the ICA. When he sees one of them, his first thought is either kill or flee.
Home Town/Nation: Romo [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B8m%C3%B8], Danish S.S.R.
Their thoughts of Communism and the USSR: Wilhelm generally respects the communist establishment for being able to (for the most part) successfully govern almost an entire planet. After years of living under their oppressive regime, he began to get disillusioned, but he has suddenly gone back to happily living in their domain after the ICA attempts on his life.
Reason(s) for being displaced: Earlier this year, the ICA, wanting to deprive the USSR of a respected horticulturalist, set out on a mission to assassinate Wilhelm. The new agricultural technology he was developing would allow for massive population growth in Russia, and the rebels knew that killing him would be striking a blow to the USSR. Government officials caught wind of this and immediately relocated him to Svobodny, a small Siberian town with a forced labor camp right next door.
Notable Abilities: Wilhelm is exceptionally smart, but his specialty is horticulture, specifically agricultural technology. This is not a very useful skill for combat. He has powerful muscles in his arms, but he has almost no fighting skills, relying on brute strength when forced to fight. All other physical abilities (running, swimming, etc.) he has are on par with the average fit adult that is his age. He can easily speak Danish and quite a bit of English, but was only given a week to learn Russian, leaving him with only the ability to understand basic commands.
Short Biography: Wilhelm was born in Copenhagen, Denmark to loving parents. For reasons still unknown to him, the family abruptly packed their bags and left for Romo, a small island in the Baltic Sea. There, it was discovered that Wilhelm has a moderately high I.Q. of 140. The Farskov family then eked out a living on the island by staying on their own farm and coexisting with the other residents. At some point during this time of subsistence, Wilhelm began to spend his time working on agricultural technology, spending more and more time in the fields experimenting with small amounts of wheat taken from the harvest.
In 1985, he departed the island for the capital to study agriculture at the University of Copenhagen. At some time in the early 1990s, he triumphantly returned to Romo and took care of his parents. By this point, he had gotten married. He then devoted his life to agricultural science. Because he lived on an island in the Baltic Sea, his life was barely affected by the integration of Denmark into the USSR. In 2001, both of Wilhelm's parents passed away. Undeterred, he continued his work.
Finally, in 2009, all of his work payed off. He has come up with a new strain of wheat that could possibly allow it to grow and survive in icy conditions, and even on top of a layer of permafrost. Seeing the importance of such a discovery, the Soviet Union began to send him quite a bit of funding. At this point, the ICA took notice. They took it upon themselves to assassinate Wilhelm. They knew that killing him would definitely set back Russian research and, if the strain worked, slow down population growth. A message concerning this was intercepted by a Soviet constable, and it was immediately decided that Wilhelm would be relocated to some nameless town in Siberia for his own safety. He was given just a week's notice. He did not protest. Instead, he purchased a how-to book on Russian language and studied it for as long as possible. Unfortunately, you can't learn a language in a week. He was left only able to understand basic commands in Russian.
At the end of the week, Wilhelm said goodbye to his wife and children and a driver took him to an airport on the mainland, where he boarded a plane and flew on a rather long trip to Leningrad/St. Petersburg. Just when he thought his trip was over, he was hustled from the terminal to a station where he was quickly deposited aboard a train with no explanation as to where he was going whatsoever.

Name: Carmine Cannizzaro
Gender: Male
Date Of Birth: 12th of November 1975
Appearance: Carmine is of average height and has tanned skin due to his southern ancestry. He has green eyes. His hair is dark and curly, He keeps it at a short lenght and combed back. He is usually clean shaven.
He is usually very formal in his wear and is rarely not seen wearing his black suit and white shirt.
Personality: He is very cold-blooded and cool. He has taught himself to stay strong in the face of adversity and to keep his emotions to himself, thanks to the fact that he had to grow up in a place where dissagreeing with the party would mean being sent off to the labour camps.
He doesn't trust easily, and might seem somewhat cold and unfriendly at the beginning,but those that know him well know that he can be very friendly and caring when he wants to.
Home Town/Nation: Agrigento, Italy.
Their thoughts of Communism and the USSR: Carmine is fiercely nationalistic and patriotic, he therefore despises the USSR and it's imperialistic way, noticing the hypocrisy of it's ways. He is hell-bent on bringing the USSR to it's end.
He is also fiercely anti-Communist, noting that such a type of government is foolish and unapplicable to the real world, believing it just a way for the power-hungry elite to disguise it's disgusting motives while pretending to be a friend of the people.
Reason(s) for being displaced: For a very long time Carmine was suspected of anti-Communist activities by the local police, but thanks to his father's high rank and standing in the local party chapter, he had been relatively safe from from the threat of interrogation or even deportation. However, after not so long, a local newspaper managed to uncover and make public a couple of essays and poems that Cannizzato had wrote in his youth, all of them being distinctly critical of the party, it's ideology, and it's elite. He was arrested, and sent to a labour camp in the Alps, in which he spent three years of his life. He was then assigned to be moved to Svobodny.
Notable Abilities: He is multi-lingual, having learnt Russian and French at a young age, in addition to his native Italian. He is also a writer and a poet, and is somewhat familiar with explosives thanks to his tenure in the MAS.
Short Biography: Carmine was born in Agrigento, in Sicily, to a middle-class family. His father, a fervent communist and one of the local party elite, tried to indoctrinate Carmine at a young age, by forcing him to read Marx's Mnifesto and teaching him Russian. Even as a child though, Carmine was always a thinking and very intellectual boy, immediately noting the fallacies and corruption in the ideology and it's followers.
At the age of 17 he joined the MAS (Movimento per l' Autonomia Siciliano, Movement for Sicilian Indipendence) a nationalist and anti-communist guerilla and terrorist group active in Sicily, even taking part in the planning for the infamous Palermo Town Hall bombing of '97, after which most of the group was arrested and sentenced to death, causing the MAS to disband. Carmine, however, somehow managed to save himself, not being caught by the secret police. He decided to lay low for a while, and concentrate more on his writing and poetry, after realizing the horrors and atrocities he had committed.
After about three years though, a local communist newspaper made public a bunch of poems, letters and articles (all distinctly anti-communsit and critical of the regime) that Cannizzato had written for the anti-communist underground newspaper Libertà in his youth while serving the MAS. He was arrested, and sent to a prison in the Alps, where he spent a couple of years awaiting his final sentence. Finally, in 2009, it was established that he would be sent to Svobodny, in a forced labour camp, to serve his lifetime sentence for anti-communist activities

I hope this isn't too long. I kinda got carried away.
