"Your letter shows that you have no sense of what this terrible war really means. You were not thinking at all when you spoke like that. But that's just it. You ought to think. 'make cold clay of those old Russians' -you did not see them lying there, as I did, these poor dead, with the strange solemn faces in the stormed trenches. You saw nothing of the horrible fight which preceded, nor the terrible wounds received by many a one of my comrades while they 'made cold clay' as you call it. You forget that those also have parents, sisters and brothers who loved them. You did not see the gruesome destruction of villages and towns, nor the poor hunted people in their terror, all that they called their own burnt down. You would shudder, had you to walk in broad daylight through the villages here, and you do not know how happy you all are that you have not got the war at home..."

-anonymous German Soldier, 1916, in a letter to his younger sister.

The Battle of Verdun was the longest battle of WW1. A siege on a ring of French Forts, the battle was intended to strike a hard blow against France, and thus urge Britain to withdraw from the war. The German Fifth Army under Crown Prince Wilhelm, would be tasked with carrying out the siege.

----

-RULES

1. Be prepared for incredibly brutal combat. Believe me when I say no holds barred.

2. It's very possible to die of bad luck. When it's done, it's done.

3. Sorry, but for the sake of authenticity, no female characters. This isn't the field Hospital.

4. Look just a heads up, be careful about which direction you run, because you're liable to be shot for desertion if you're going the wrong way.

----
-ROLES

Rifleman - The most basic of Roles, Riflemen are more adept with their rifles than other roles, it being their only means, and make good use of the bayonet. (Better marksmen, can mount bayonet.)

Machinegunner - There are only a few of these in a rifle company. They excel in point defense, being able to cut down larges swathes of enemy infantry. Unfortunately, the MG08/15 can't be fired easily while on the move, so a mounted position is necessary. The gunner also carries a pistol for fighting whilst carrying around the heavy MG. (Uses Machinegun, must use pistol while moving.)

Grenadier - A role almost identical to rifleman, save that they are less capable marksmen, as well as preferring not to mount the bayonet on their rifle, as it tends to get stuck. Grenadiers carry a payload of handgrenades, allowing them to storm trenches more easily than the other roles. (Has 2 grenades. Average shooter, can't mount bayonet.)

Physical Appearance: A tall, caucasian male with a buzz cut and dark blonde hair. Standing around 5'7ft, he is often covered in dirt, exhausted, and with the war's length, he would always seem to be on edge. Though healthy, he is covered in dirt, grit, and rarely blood.
Role: Machine gunner
Bio: (I don't mean to seem lacking in dedication, but, I do not know much of life prior to WW1, so I can't fill out a worthy biography. Sorry!)

(1. I have read "All Quiet on the Western Front" so I think I can expect how brutal your RP is going to be 2. I probably would have been German anyway heh and this CS is probably going to be similar to things that the author would say sent many German boys to their death's...)
-CS

Name: Ludwig Beilschmidt
Gender: (Isn't this obvious based on your rules? Its male) (Just had to make a sarcastic comment there)
Age: 28
Physical Appearance: Has long dirty blonde hair and cold blue eyes that can intimidate most, and a clean shaved face, has a muscular build is 5'11" and weighs 181 lbs
Role: Machine Gunner
Bio: (Optional) He was a former factory worker getting dirt poor pay and barely making a living. His father was a Franco-Prusso war veteran and so he has that to be proud of. When he found out about the war he immediately signed up partly for Nationalistic feelings, also to honor his father and his military heritage, and also to get a better job that would have more excitement and WAY better pay. During training he was chosen to be a machine gunner due to being able to control the Maxim gun's recoil which in huge bursts was terribly inaccurate and by controlling it being able to be accurate with it.

in retrospect I'm not sure why I put a Gender option in the CS since it's only male characters.

Also just FYI the maxim gun was made in 1884, the MG used in WW1 by the Germans was the MG08, and from 1916 onwards, it was the MG08/15. The MG08 was based highly on the Maxim gun design.

-CS

Name: Hans Van Schöne

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Appearance: Carrying the light blonde hair and blue eyes that come with his family's gene pool. Hans is a medium built, broad shouldered but thin young man. His age is barely noticeable to be nineteen and some mistake him as younger than he is. He is 6'4 and weighs roughly 86kg. His stamina is one of his more refining aspects along with his muscle mass. His hair is short as normal and his face [when not covered in dirt] is usually pale.

Role:Rifleman

Bio: Hans was born to a family in the country. His family was indeed wealthy but still preferred that of a rural life. He grew up hunting and fishing with his brothers as well as helping around the family farm where their whole family tree stayed. His life growing up with both first and second cousins was fun at best and he was very sociable due to it. His good nature and proud belief in nationalism and the great war was what led him to study history.

He had also picked up a few psychology courses before the war started but when it started Hans joined the regiment immediately. His processing was done within a few days and he was shipped out with most of the males in his family. It was not until after his training that he had been put into a trench, given a rifle, and told to kill.

Armed with his intellect, regimental colours, pride for the fatherland, and his brethren, he was willing to climb over the walls when told. Hans was ready to give his life for the glory of Germany.

Fair enough. If someone wants to make a female character going all Mulan on those Frenchies I'm all for it.

Not a single Grenadier. But that's the fun class, I think...

You don't need to know much about the gun to swing it around like a club, which we'll be doing quite a bit of I imagine.
