WARNING: This roleplay will contain strong language, violence, blood/gore, potential minor sexual content, alcohol/drugs and other adult themes. All of this will be within the rules of Roleplaynation.
If you are easily offended by any of the above, please leave right now.
I understand that World War ll might be a sensitive subject to some people. Not only the war per se, but the timeframe and politics in general.
In this roleplay we will face horrible things such as nazism, racism and war. If you feel like you can't handle that, do not join or stalk this roleplay.
DISCLAIMER: First off, huge shoutout to
Hall Kervean
for helping me create this roleplay! Together we created a plot that I believe has some interesting aspects. It would not have been possible without your help, thank you once again!
I do not claim to be an expert on the Second World War in any way, it's just an interest of mine. There may very well be some things that are not correct in this roleplay, but I'm sure it won't be a deal-breaker.

.PLOT & STORY
“I was told to spend ten years in prison, or join the military. Could you imagine the U.S Military being so short on men that they gave us criminals a choice in the court? To me, that seemed like one of those “get out of jail” cards that you could get in Monopoly. When I took the offer to join the military I thought I got the same options as any other man fighting the war. I could not have been more wrong.
By the end of 1942, we were 20,000 criminals in the Army. We even got our own Division, the 107th Infantry Division, nicknamed “The Devil’s Marauders”. I’m part of Fox Company, 3rd Battalion, 408th Infantry Regiment of the 107th Infantry Division.
It’s been one year since we completed our training, and it was hell. We were not treated equally because of our criminal background. We were shown absolutely no respect and all of the sudden, jail didn’t seem like such a bad place to be.
Today we’re shipping out to England where we’ll prepare for the largest action in the history of warfare, Operation Overlord.”
You’ll be roleplaying as a soldier in the 107th Infantry Division, specifically 1st Squad, 2nd Platoon, Fox Company, 3rd Battalion, 408th Infantry Regiment. You’re a former criminal who chose war over prison, a choice you were given in court.
You might think that people do not care about your background on the battlefield, that we’re all brothers out there, but you couldn't be more wrong. You’re a criminal, the other units wants as little as possible to do with the 107th. You’re the first ones in, and the last ones out. They will not go easy on you.
The roleplay will start on May 30th, 1944, when the 107th arrive in England seven days before their first operation, the invasion of Europe.

RULES & GUIDELINES
RESPECT AND ETIQUETTE: Be courteous to the others participating in the roleplay. If you plan on leaving the roleplay, please let me know beforehand. If possible, you should also write yourself out of it in character.
GODMODDING/POWERPLAYING/METAGAMING: This is regarded as the ultimate low in Roleplaying, as it’s not only unfair but also disrespectful. I’m sure you know what godmodding/metagaming/powerplaying is, if not, I highly suggest you look it up before joining this roleplay. If anyone is caught doing this, I will give that person a warning. If that person continues to break this rule, I will kick him or her out of this roleplay.
BASIC ENGLISH IS YOUR FRIEND: Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation is very important in roleplaying. I’m not asking for A+ English as it’s not even my first language, but basic knowledge of the English language is a requirement.
CONTENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LENGTH: I won’t ask for a five page English essay for each post. (No one does that, but you get the point.) I’ll simply say, one to two well written paragraphs is more than enough to satisfy me. With that said, one paragraph per post is a minimum.
BE REASONABLE AND REALISTIC: You do not have unlimited ammo/grenades, do not “Run N’ Gun” and there’s always a bigger gun. Try to be as realistic as possible, I do not want anyone to go all “Rambo” on us. Also, you're not allowed to use drawn/animated/anime pictures in your Character Sheet. This is not a must, but try to use a picture from that era of time.
EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION: While it’s easy to disregard things in a roleplay-setting, everything you do has consequences or some effect on the world around you. What do you do when you capture a dozen Waffen-SS men who executed 50 innocent men, women and children just moments before you arrive? The bodies are still cooling when the Nazis surrender with a smile… What would you do?
KEEP THE DRAMA INSIDE THE ROLEPLAY: I do not want any drama outside of the roleplay, please. However, feel free to bring it in to the actual roleplay.
You absolutely must follow these rules, and of course the rules of Roleplaynation. Thank you!
PS. When you reserve a spot, tell me in what years this war took place. (Psst, the answer is 1939 - 1945.)
