[This is a WW1 ISRP involving multiple people. I control the world and the reactions to your posts, as well as advance the story and setting. I post, You post, I post, you post, etc. Every once in a while there will be a post that affects more than one player.]
The Second Battle of Ypres began in spring of 1915, named after the Flemish town of Ypres where the battle was taking place. Walking back towards the support lines, you look around hopelessly for members of your unit before realizing that you are the sole survivor. Over what the officers had told you, the top brass were having trouble mustering replacements to the front, so all units too few to sustain themselves had to report for reformation.
You had heard that the Frenchies had took a beating on the other end of the line with stuff they called chlorine gas. All around you lay the dying, wheezing and struggling on the ground. The trenches that had once been in prime condition with sandbags and parapets was now barely a line of rougly-planked thin lines dug into the ground.
The German shell had blown some men to dust in front of your eyes. Bunkers collapsed during the heaviest bombardments, burying the men inside alive. Earth spat into the air as the ground churned with explosions. Now, all this part of Belgium had was thousands of bodies, tens of thousands of bits, and one piece of half-blown building. From your speculations it used to be a church.

Reaching the support trench behind the frontlines, a man surrounded by men of all forces calls to you. As you approach, he introduces himself as Sgt. Foley, a man who's unit was decimated in the 1st Canadian Division. He starts handing out papers, saying that he was your responsibility now.
"Not gonna' lie, this is information for death letters."

Sure, I suppose I'll join.
Name: Henrich Schulz Ag.e: 21 Fighting Force: British (First Canadian division) Physical Appearance: Caucasian, Short dark black hair, light blue eyes, an average build and height Kit: Standard issued equipment. A ross rifle. (Not like It'd be any use though) Relatives: Grew up in Germany for the first 11 years of his life. Immigrated to Ontario Canada. Both his mother and father are in Canada. Is not in a serious relationship.
(I'll admit I don't know the historical accuracy of a German joining an Entente aligned country, even if said German is a citizen of the country in question. So if this is historically inaccurate I'll make a new character.) |

(I think it is, kind of.
In Aussie WW1 miniseries comes to mind when I look at this CS, but I don't think it is accurate.
You don't have to be Canadian btw, the group is made out of all allies fighting in Ypres because their units have been merged or disbanded.) |

| No assassins kit. The switchblade is replaced with a trench spike and the sniper rifle is a lee enfield with a telescopic scope. Is that okay? |

Then you don't have to join if you don't feel comfortable.
It's just that there weren't any assassins in WWI. |

Poland was split between Russia, Germany and Austria Hungary wasn't it? |

| Pretty sure the greater part of Poland was annexed by Prussia, which then became the German Empire, so it was part of the German side until Armistice. |
