MAJOR GENERAL [Alexander S Wright] COMMANDER OF THE 47th [Light Infantry] DIVISION CURRENT AGE [27] [TRAITS:] [By The Book] [Master Mind] [The Hero] TRAINED IN CHURA MILITARY ACADEMY PERSONAL BELONGINGS GRANTED BY THE MINISTER OF THE ARMY [A Colt 1911 (re-designated to the R1911) , a few miscellaneous books, a map, multiple knives both big and small, and some spare ammo for his Colt]
You nod to yourself thinking back when you were assigned to the 47th Light Infantry Division. You are excited in leading a military division and how it will affect the war. As you seen in the movies, you are a bit excited in the fame and glory that comes from the top military generals. You make a goal to yourself that you will become one of them or be the first general in history to do something great. (ignore this if you want or you can make your own goal.) But you are interrupted by your ecstatic thoughts by a chair being slid back, loudly then then you look up. You see a a officer about to take a seat in front of you, upon further inspection of the officer. The officer is indeed a female and you glance at her collar to see her rank, her rank is a colonel. She doesn't acknowledge you until she sits down and notices that you are glaring at her. She is the first one to speak, "Sorry sir, you seemed to be thinking about something. I didn't want to disturb you, so I tried to pull the chair and sit in front of you. But apparently that didn't work. Anyways I'm Colonel Alison another replacement for one of the chief of staff in the 47 Light Infantry division." She salutes to you across the coffee table. |

[point to note out, every ISRP i make to the person will be COMPLETELY different. so it adds a genuine experience!]
The Colonel drops the salute and gives you an appreciative nod, then she grabs a tea pot and two cups. As she pours tea into a cup she asks you "Sir, would you like some tea? And I haven't gotten your name yet." |

Alex drops the salute himself "Yes, tea would be wonderful, thank you. Oh, and my name? Alexander Wright, but feel free to just call me Alex. I'm not really one for formalities."
"Hey ese, I'm breaking into your car!" |

| The Colonel nods as she slides the tea cup towards you, then she speaks up again. "Ah I see Si-Alexander." She chuckles when she was about to say "Sir". "I'm not to keen on formalities as well. You see, I grew up in a noble house and what they always taught me was." She coughed and spoke in a manly but fatherly voice seeming like she was trying to make the voice her father had. "So be a good wife, you must be very keen on formalities." The giggles for a moment then she takes a slip out of her cup. |

| The Colonels sighs, "I personally met with the king and begged him to sign me into the Korhalian Military. You see, my house is really really high in the nobility food chain. So we have ties with royalty and can request meetings with the king whenever we want." She looks down, seemingly ashamed on the choice she had done. "You see, noble families are excluded out of the conscription but they have a choice to join the military. I wanted to do my part in the war but my father and mother said no every time. Saying that it was to dangerous and I'll change, I ignored them and I met with the king. That's how I'm here right now." |

"Huh. Well, I'd say you're better then most of those nobles for your willingness to defend your country. Most nobles only care about this country when it makes them money."

| With the assurance that you gave to the Colonel she looks up you and smiles. Not that smile a noble would make during a business deal or that, but a actual genuine smile. The mouths the word "Thank you" then she changes the topic. "So Alex, can I call you Alex?" She waits but continues before you could answer. "So, what are you planning to do when we get to the 47th LI (Light infantry)?" |

Alex makes no protest to the colonel calling him Alex, then speaks up to answer her second question "Well, the first thing i'll do is see what i'm dealing with. Check the equipment, talk to the soldiers, check our rations, stuff that that. I want to make sure that our supplies are in tip top shape, and that I have good men that are willing to fight."

| Alison takes notice in what you said and reaches in her brief case, shortly after she takes out a book simply labelled "KORHAL". As she hands it to you she says, "You said something about equipment and soldiers. This book should open some light on it, it reads their equipment and training. That sort've stuff, you probably forgotten yours on your was out of the Academy." She chuckles a little bit. |

"I don't just want to know what these soldiers are equipped with, or what they were trained as, I want to know their skills, their personalities, their willingness to serve. I want to know exactly what each of the soldiers under my command is capable of. If one of them is an exemplary medic, or commander, I want to know. And I don't just want to know from them, or from their assessments, I want to see what others think of them. I don't care if they've received extensive training in leadership, if they don't get along with our other soldiers, leadership is going to fail, moral is going to fail, and we're going to fail."

| Alison stops sliding the book and pulls it back towards her, she nods as she puts the book back into her book. A couple of suspenseful moments later Alison speaks up, "Well said Alex, Well said." As she nods her head acknowledging your answer. Then she picks up her cup and takes another slip of it, the you both are interrupted by a loud cough. Both of you turns towards the man who interrupted you both. You see a officer, probably in his mid to late twenties standing before you at full attention. You glance at his rank as his rank is a Captain, probably another replacement for your division. You are pulled out of your thoughts as he speaks in a monotoneish voice. "Captain Richards reporting for duty sir, replacement CO for A company, H Brigade within the 47th Light Infantry Division sir." |

[I'm gone tomorrow and the entirety of the weekend, I'll resume on Monday.]
The Captain nods in thanks as he takes a seat, he pulls out a cigar and lights it. (smoking in public in the rp is casual and no one really cares) Then he is the first one to break the silence, "So sir, what are our game plan for the 47th? Or should I say, "Hell Walkers"?" This perks up interest in the Colonel, "Hell Walkers?" "Indeed, that's their nickname, many reports and officers as well as soldiers call the 47th Hell Walkers. In their previous engagement at the town of Curn, they travelled at least over a good solid 50 kilometres to chase there enemy." The Captain replies casually, seemingly that he knows a lot of the division already. (Probably not) "Wow, they didn't include that in the letter I got. Why did you get the letter including out division nickname?" The Alison asks in curiosity. "Hell if I know. One of the reasons I guess that they like me better than you do." The Captain laughs, "But seriously though, I don't know." He adds. "Well that is certainly interesting." Alison points out. "Indeed it is." The Captain replies as he pulls out a map and expands it putting it on the table to reveal its contents. The points to a sector on the map, it shows that its a hill over-looking a vast area. (I need to make a map :/) "Our division is here, its going to be a pain to get there because the area around it is dense with trees and the roads are blocked by the retreating enemy. We'll have to walk." "Joy." Alison deadpans. The Captain ignores her, "I'm guessing that the enemy is preparing a counter-attack to re-take Curn," The slides his finger along the road to another town 20 kilometres down south. "Then move here to the town of Harc. But that's my suggestion, but it seems to be an option for the enemy. What do you think sir?" |

(Alrighty)
"Once I've assessed our situation, I think it'd be best if we sent out a few scouting teams. One to watch the enemy, one to watch Curn, and one to watch Hark. Once we've scouted out the enemies movements, we can make plans for an ambush."

[im back from the dead!]
The Captain nods, "Shall I radio division HQ to send out a few patrols? Since the 47th LI is stationary and is currently fortifying, army group command was kind enough of supplying them a large, bulky, long ranged radio. Which is convenient in my opinion." The Captain reaches for his brief case (he sets it on the opposite side the table) which was generously passed down by Alison who gives a smile, the Captain smiles back and thanks her. The Captain opens his brief case and takes out another map, yet again, he opens it revealing its contents. "This, this is the entire front that were currently on." The front that your currently on is a mix of mountains, dense forests, and open fields. The Captain points to the town of Curn, the geography around Curn is dense forest and hill. Perfect for Light Infantry Divisions. Moments of observing the map, you are interrupted by the Captain. "As you can see, the road leading out of the town of Curn is one of the only roads within the region, making it impassible by enemy tanks and vehicles. If they want to make a offensive in this region, the town of Curn is in its way. On other news, we have another division backing us up. The 51st "Bandits" Light Infantry division joining us, once they reach the town of Curn and set up there field HQ, I suggest that we make a joint HQ maximizing the output of orders and easily cooperative actions as well." The Captain finishes his rant as he begins to pack up his things and take his own seat. Moments after he as taken his seat, he asks "You have any questions sir? Or anything that still confuses you? I'll happily answer it to the best of my abilities." |

"No, everything makes sense so far. Go ahead and radio forward, tell HQ to send out those patrols. I'd prefer to meet the soldiers first, but we need to establish surveillance as quickly as possible."

Alex thinks for a moment before coming up with a response "Well, going off this one encounter and pure assumption, he seems to be strict, strategical, informed, and by-the-book. An interesting combination for a captain. Overall, He'll be a good ally but I worry if his personality might conflict with my own, or with the soldiers. "

| Alison stays silent for a moment, "Maybe hes just putting on a face or an act? Maybe he'll change once we hit the rough waters of combat? That's what my older brother told me, "Some men puts on faces to act like there tough and strong, if not wise. But once they enter combat, they will change entirely. Either that they crack-down through the harsh brutalities of warfare or they step up and be the inspiring leader that ever soldier hopes to have.". A part of me think this is true but the other half is saying no and is a lie." She moves uncomfortably in her seat, looking worried "Hate to bother you with my family problems but just hear me out?" She pauses for a moment but moves on before you had the change to reply to her. "My family always been over-protective of me, and when I signed myself into the military. I always had a feeling that my family sent someone to take me back or to watch over me and keep me in line. It really makes my uncomfortable, if you were in my situation, Alex, what would you do?" She finishes as she looses more of her professional posture. (the posture alison was doing was standing up straight, basically how you would sit when your meeting with your favorite person or a important person, say a president. [not sure if that made any sense]) |

Alex relaxed his posture "Honestly, I don't really know. See, I've never grown up as anyone famous or notable. My family lived on a little farm out in the country. We made a decent enough living, and led a good life with all the basic necessities and the occasional luxury. My papa always had me out working with him, even from a young age. Anything from planting the crops to plowing the field. My parents never sheltered me or went overboard trying to protect me, so I'm sorry that I can't give you advice from personal experience. But please, if anything ever does come up. If your parents ever do send someone after you, just let me know and I'll see what I can do to help."

| Your assurance, yet again, does its trick. Alison regains her posture "Thank you sir, sorry for bombarding you with my personal troubles but it makes me relieved knowing you will help me on my troubles. Probably later in the future, I'll repay you." She smiles at you, then she stands up from her chair then she opens her hand towards you. "Come on Alex, lets head to our car on rails. I wanna get tucked in before the train starts moving." |
