TOC-Split in Parts for Convenience Part 1-Backstory Part 2-International Situation Part 3-Rules/character Bio Part 4-Tank Bio (Optional) Part 5-My Bio
13th June 1941-Deep in the German Mountains Researchers were Linking up the Final Equipment for a Project that had been in development,Large Generators Feeding in to a Large Central Device. H.itler was watching rather unimpressed until the Machine Finally came to life,Large Surges of Electricity coursed over the Machine. Coming to Life H.itler Watched as it in turn Begun Generating massive surges of energy downward to its core,the Machinery in the large Facility came to life. at once H.itler looked around as he saw to a Factory floor bellow,The scientists were almost Overjoyed from their machines coming to life...
The Officer there begun to lead H.itler and his group onward through the facility for tour,H.itler could only Be amazed as plain dirt and rocks flowed into a Strange Foundery only to Come out again as the Highest Grade Metal alloys. These alloys then taken straight from these forges towards a factory,The factory itself almost automated by machinery only directed by workers at stations. Within just a few minutes H.ilter Watched a Work Platform go from nothing To already having the Chassis of a Panzer IV onboard with Engine,Moving along H.itler Saw Part of the floor Dedicated to Prototype Assembly currently and working on a Hull already...
Within Weeks time This Expirimental Factory poured out Hundreds of Tanks,Allowing Germans to not just Rush the front lines but to Accelerate to absolutely crush hostile forces. The Secrets of this Factory didn't remain long though,in a Command decision a Second Factory was being built. During its construction Germanys enemys managed to Aquire Secrets,Soon building Kitbash versions of their own though no where near as efficent and with their own problems. largely from lack of the large 'Matter Reactor' that ran the German Behemoth Factorys,It was only a Mater of Months Before Europe was completely overrun. By Early 1943 most of Asia and Africa had fallen,though the German forces didn't have nearly enough Naval power to make the Break into other areas...
Late 1943,Things went wrong though. While the Allieds had finally managed to create versions of their own matter reactors,the situation turned horrible for all. Starting with a Attack on America,Followed by the complete disolve of the German Empire and ended with the devistation and Complete abandonment of Europe,Asia and Africa...
==Part 2== In America A Massive Co-ordinated Espionage Attack Went off,Powerplants Everywhere were Suddenly blowing out Reactors and Cables. Within Twenty Minuites time the attack had started and ended,The result was almost every Powerplant within the USA had been completely knocked out. Followed by the disruption of Several Major communication Hubs Resulted in the USA being 'Left in the Dark',With their communication and Power gone they were completely unable to react. This in turn saved them from a Major disaster,For their 'Behemoth' Factory Located in Ohio Suffered Failure. Moments before the Facility could suffer the effects,power was lost and the facility taken out of comission with minimal damage. Their remaining forces that could still be contacted were pulled,no Proper evacuation as many soldiers and plenty of equipment was left abandoned in the fields...
In the UK Months of Bombing had left them with only smoldering ruins of their Major citys,Hardly Capable of Supporting their own military let alone a 'Behemoth' Factory. their own factory was left collecting dust,half bombed and ruined it would be months before they could restore it. in their Effort to Try and restore themselves they had focused everything inward,though with Germanys constant attacks against their shores. many of their land forces had been stranded in Europe,Unable to Return home and to weak to truely fight back...
In the USSR having been absolutely Devistated by the Germans,the USSR was in ruins. only small pocket forces even remained,refusing to surrender even with their leaders already dead. Scavaging parts from Destroyed German tanks,along with just modifying normal Factorys they have maintained a Sizeable force. though not enough to challange the Germans,simply trying to hold out as the Germans have turned their attention elsewhere...
In Germany While not having the same luck as the Americans,H.itler and his Regime Were inside on of the three 'Behemoth' Factorys that was built. The situation went downhill though,As the Factory suffered a Failure. a french Espionage force having managed to Sabatoge the Reactors of all three Factorys,The results were to be seen for miles around as the explosions almost leveled the surrounding areas. Even then With their Leadership suddenly gone and their production grinding to a almost complete standstill all of a sudden,The German forces practicly Shattered within the hours as commanders Begun arguing...
==Part 3== Summery I know that was a bit long,but it gets out the background story so you won't be missing (as many) details. it also gives you a Idea of the current situation,Which is rather simple 1.Europe,Asia and Africa were all under German control 2.USSR,UK,USA and Germany are all effectively 'Dead' currently 3.You Take the role of someone from the 'Abandoned Forces' 4.Its effectively a 'Free for all' in Europe,Asia,Africa now...
Rules-just some simple things 1.No Autohitting/Killing (hurting/killing someone elses character in your post) 2.No Godmodding (Controling someone elses Character) 3.No Power Playing (being invincible/Uber/Godly) 4.I only Care for Realisim in Ammo and Fuel (you have limited Ammo/Fuel) 5.THIS IS ALTERNATE TIMELINE! (events happened differently) 6.Try to Be Creative! Imagine yourself in the role...Build from there! 7.You CAN have a 'Mixed' Team (I.E. German+American working together)
Character Bio Name- (Doesn't have to fit nationality...) A.ge- Gender- Nationality- Appearance- History- Important Gear- Tank Commander- Y/N (if you Command a Tank)
Note-Don't RP until Accepted,If tank commander Fill next Part
==Part 4== So you want to Make a Tank,Guess what. You can have a Custom tank,Not sure how to make one? Just follow these simple ideas,build from there! the Design Must fit in the time period 1910-1948,I don't want to See something like a C&C Mammoth tank!
1.How Large/Heavy is the Tank? 2.How Advanced is the Equipment? (Optics,Radio,ETC) 3.Is the turret Forward? Center? or Back mounted? (but still on top) 4.Dose the Tank Focus on Speed,Armor or Firepower? 5.Dose it have Multiple turrets? Multiple guns? or just a Single turret and gun? 6.What Quirks dose the Tank have? (I.E. Poor Driver position,Underpowered Engine,ETC) 7.Dose your tank use more Mechanisims or Crew? (I.E. Autoloader vs Loader crew)
Tank Bio ID- (either a 'Factory-Number' or a name) Nationality- (You can have a Tank Stolen/Salvaged from another Nation) Weapon- (as in Size of Main gun) Appearance- (Include Decals!) Quirks- (Problems of the Tank,you have to have one even if minor) Major Battles- (and if the Tank was Disabled during them) Other-
note-There is no Such thing as a Perfect Tank
==Part 5== MY BIO! Name-Luke Airul A.ge-26 Gender-Male Nationality-German Appearance-He stands about 5ft 2in with rather pale skin,His left eye is light blue and his Right eye a Dark Green. He doesn't have much muscle build,His hair is Short cut Black with a little goate. Wearing a Modified Uniform sets him Apart,While he has the Normal Uniform shirt and Pants his Jacket was Swapped with a Black wool Trench Coat. Fitted with Blood Red shoulders and a Pair of Dark Grey Skulls,Though Despite bieng a Officer he Wears a Normal M43 Field cap in Black. Oddly enough he Wears simple Dark Grey shoes instead of boots,Leaving him both Shorter in line up and Distinct to identify...
History-Despite looking quite distinctive,He isn't a Very noteworthy commander. Having been kept in Reserve For a majority of the war,He has only Tasted True combat in four Battles. Each of which he was known for being a Nightmare,Completely ignoring Chain of command and going for Targets of Opritunity. Even in his Small combat Experience he managed to Rack up more Kills then most Tank commanders,Though 'Sentenced' to Reserves due to Reckless behaviour and Blant ignorance of his Supriors...
Important Gear-Only a Russian Trench Knife and his Binoculars Tank commander-Y
MAH Tank! ID-Red Dawn Nationality-German Weapon-128mm Main Turret Appearance-The Red Dawn Has a Length of about 9.2 meters and Width of about 5.6 meters,The Height was about 4.1 meters and it Weighed in about 95 Tons. Its Thickest armor was Around 210mm Thick on the Front,roughly 150mm Thick on the sides and only 100mm Thick on the Rear. The Turret is a Low Profile roughly 1 meter in height,the Actual interior of the Turret decends down into a Turret basket inside the Tank. The Armor is only Partly sloped on the Tank,though the Entire Turret itself Resides towards the Front of the Tank. Causing a look Similar to a Upsized Porche Tiger,Though Far more Deadly Due to Baring a 128mm Main gun
To Further the Red Dawn it was Painted in a Specific Color scheme,completely forgoing Camo it was Painted Black as night and Marked with a dark Rusted Color scheme. Making the tank appear as if it was a Mix of Faint red light Rising through darkness,The tank Bares no Decals though its Distinctive Look is enough. The Rear is Equiped with a Smoke Launch system,Capable of launching up to 20 Seperate Smoke grenades at once. To further this the Tank was equiped with Expirimental Infrared Optics,The Powerhouse Engine equiped Provides this Heavy tank almost ungodly Mobility as well. As if to Rub in the German engineering,There is only a Crew of Three as Everything else is Mechanical including a Automated Loading system...
Quirks-While appearing Godly,The Suspension system is So overwhelmed its Prone to Locking up and Breaking down. Enough so that The Tank often Requires Major repairs to the suspension after a battle,Though Aside from suspension the only problem is being to Heavy for some bridges...
Noteable Battles-Deployed on Eastern Front Battle of Moscow-Minor Armor Damage Battle of Sevastopol-Suspension Failed In town,Suffered Several Armor Breaks Battle of Stalingrad-Optics Damaged,Suffered Engine damage after Ramming a KV-2 Battle of Demyansk-Autoloadeder Suffered malfunction,No other Damage
Other-The Red Dawn Was a Heavy Prototype Design,Using the Factory is was Developed up to spec. Though never Aproved for full Production,It was none the Less Deployed to Test Design Theorys... |

Character Bio Name- Artyom Sobaski A.ge- 24 Gender- Male Nationality- Russian, Soviet Appearance- Has short, brown hair that is more often than not dirty to the point it looks like he has brown highlights in it. He has a specialy made glove for his right hand with a missing ring finger due to the fact he lost in the Battle of Moscow. He stands about 5'7". His eyes are greyish brown with a hint of blue in the right eye. His uniform is worn beyond its years yet still looks new. His boots are German Infantry boots that he scavenged off of a dead German solider during the Battle of Stalingrad. History- His tank is a new one, nearly a year old at this point. A prototype for a line that was never made due to all the engine troubles with it. Never listening to command, he rarely saw combat and was nearly court martialed twice. Once for out right spitting in the face of a commander and another for "Deserting" to get first dibs on salvage in Stalingrad. Although his crew respects him to the point they listen to him rather then higher ups. Deserted about two months after the Battle of Moscow. Current location is on the former German-Polish border. Important Gear- A Nagant M1895 revolver and a Sturmgewehr 44 Tank Commander- Yes, I command a tank...
Tank Sheet 1. How Large/Heavy is the Tank?: 46 Tonnes (51 Short Tons, 45 Long Tons.) 2. How Advanced is the Equipment?: Bout advanced as your going to find on an IS-10/T-10 Tanks 3. Is the turret Forward? Center? or Back mounted?: Center Mounted 4. Dose the Tank Focus on Speed, Armor or Firepower?: A combination of Armor and Firepower 5. Dose it have Multiple turrets? Multiple guns? or just a Single turret and gun?: 6. What Quirks dose the Tank have?: Incredibly small crew space. A light tank shell hitting us is likely to injure someone... 7. Dose your tank use more Mechanisms or Crew?: We rely more on a Crew that can fight incredibly well. Although we do have an emergency auto loader for the chance our loaders get their arms blown off.
Tank Bio ID- 177934: "Edge of the Rising Red Sun" Nationality- Soviet Weapon- 7.5 cm KwK 40, X1 Degtyaryov Machine Gun, X1 RPD Machine Gun Appearance- A vomit green colored tank, it looks like a IS-10/T-10 Heavy Tank. It has a white outlined, Red Star on the front of it. Quirks- The engine goes to s**t if there is even any minor damage around it. Even a Pistol Round can turn us from a killing machine to a Heavy Turret... Major Battles- Battle of Stalingrad: Managed to avoid major problems, although a track was blown out from a stray Soviet artillery shell. Battle of Moscow: Stayed at a Base Defense position taking out enemy armor, deployed near the end of the battle. By the end, there was no engine or tracks after three Artillery Shells impacted near our tank. Other- |

((Accepted...Rather underpowered main gun though >.> nice Peirce but not much of a Punch...either way I'll do a starting post to draw attention...))
Luke and his other two Crewmen were Resting with the Red Dawn,Camped out with Two Panzer IV's and their crews. They had already received conflicting orders from four different commanders,their answer was to just sit tight and wait for clearification on what was going on. Luke Was playing Cards While the Driver was Fiddling with the Engine,The Gunner was simply sleeping atop the turret. Luke heard the Radio buzz,Some chatter going on between nearby Tankcommanders over What was going on with command...
Luke counted in his mind ~one,two,three,fo~ he was cut off as a Officer was heard shouting over the radio now,Record timing this time. despite being only a few short hours after those massive explosions he saw in the distance,There was still quite a bit of Chaos on the radio. Luke just wondered how long till orders finally came through,he was rather itching to get his tank moving again... |

(Alright...I will get a better gun. I don't care how, but if I see one on a hostile tank. Its mine...)
I walk over to my Driver who is fiddling with our Emergency Auto-loader so it will work this time if our gunner is taken out. Apparently it was clogged with grime and residue from shells so thoroughly that it stuck the pieces together making it break when we used it. Luckily one of our MGer's managed to figure it out enough to get the last needed shell loaded. And amazingly, the tank we were fighting managed to NOT have its Emergency Auto-Loader shattered into little molten bits. Another Soviet tank designed like ours on loading philosophy, although souped up with a good amount of modifications that made it a b*****rd tank.
I go to check on our gunner who was only knocked unconscious when the second shell hit our rear. He is dazing in and out of consciousness, although the bleeding on his head HAS stopped. I go over and check the wreck of the tank. I give it the nickname "Raider Hawk" due to its speed. Nothing of value other then there auto-loader, managed to blow up there Ammo Rack and there Gas Tank. I walk back over to the "Rising Sun," get in and start her up.

Luke stopped his Game when he Heard a General shout over the radio "USSR Forces Active Six Kilometers East of Sector G8,Near the Poland Border" Luke glanced at his watch,then looked over to the other two commanders who were talking over a map. Luke Said simply "Were heading out...You two are Dismissed" Luke got up from his Card game,looking towards his engineer and shouting "FINISH UP! WERE MOVING TO THE POLAND BORDER!" at once he heard his engineer cursing and grumbling,none the less it was only a Mater of minuites before they were packing up. the two Panzer IV's returning to base,Leaving the Red dawn on its own...
Luke Climbed up to the top of the turret,Opening the Commanders hatch and climbing in. giving a Shout to the Gunner who shuddered as he woke,Scrambling to get in the tank after a moment. Their Gear all packed into the two storage chests they had Fitted at the rear of the tank,The engine gave a loud Roar as it came to life. Turning over and sputtering for a few moments before going to full strength,The Red Dawn slowly turning as it tore up the ground before giving a shudder as it started to move forward towards the Polish Border...Which was about Eight Kilometers from their position,or at least the area the radio had spoke of... |

I open the hatch and hop out. "Alright boys, driver, get the d**n auto-loader put back in. Rest of you, get our loader in the tank. NOW!" I watch them scramble to get there work done and get into the tank. We manage to find a nice niche for our loader to be crammed into. Not very good for his injury though... We get moving after about twenty minutes. I also begin pondering names for our tank, never have been liking "Edge of the Rising Red Sun."
We plot out a course to a small village called Unterbrunn in Oberbayern, Bavaria. About 3 days from our position. We plan to restock there and maybe find some shells and MG Ammo... |

The Red Dawn moved along the Roads slowly,simply Plowing the hulks of other tanks out of the way. While The Red dawn Did have considerable engine power it still wasn't the fastest thing out there,it just let the Tank push things out of its way. Luke popped open his hatch for some cleaner air,Grumbling as he said to the Gunner "I thought the Ventelation got fixed!" The Gunner responded "It did...Fan's just not Strong enough" The Driver shouted from his position "HEY! ROADBLOCK AHEAD!"
Luke Said "Ram it!" Driver said "Just Look!" Luke grumbled as he stuck his head out of his hatch to see the roadblock ahead,seeing The hulks of two Panthers crudely welded together against a bridge to form a Barricade. The Red Dawn came to a Stop as luke said "ENGAGE HYDRAULICS! LOAD HE! JUST BLOW THE THING OUT OF THE WAY!" Luke settled down in his seat again as he shut the hatch,Hitting a switch as The autoloader mechanisims drew a HE shell from the storage in mid section. Feeding it to the actual loader which rose up and rammed the shell into the Breach,which slammed shut behind the shell as the gunner just Made a few Changes in aim Before firing...
The Red Dawn shook as the Cannon gave a loud BOOM,the Panther tanks Were practicly Torn apart as the weld work shattered. Though in their stripped state it did little to move them,Luke said "Try Plowing them now!" The Red Dawn shuttered as it begun to move again,Grinding metal sounded a moment Later as the Panther Hulls were practicly CRUSHED From the red dawn...which came to a grinding halt on top of them,Driver shouted "SUSPENSION JAMMED AGAIN!" luke gave a sigh and facepalmed... |

We arrive on the Austrian Border in a few hours of driving. We notice a Schwerer Panzerspähwagen and a Panzerkampfwagen II roaming the land. Painted so they showed no resemblance to the former Rei.ch's Military. They turn to fire on us, one missing us, barely, and the other hitting right on our rear armor. The shots barely scratched us, our loader was awake and rather annoyed at us for just cramming him into the little compartment. He guided one of our Machine Gunners through the loading process. We fire a single shot into the Panzer II and it goes up in a pillar of smoke with some flames around it.
The Schwerer has a smart crew and just turns tails and run. We come to a little area of Brush and park our tank and rest for a bit. Our driver continues to fiddle with the auto-loader until he manages to smash that one to. I simply mutter somthing in German under my breath as he tries and fails to fix it. I go to see if our loader is ok and he is back on his feet, checking the guns and everything as usual. |

The Red Dawn was sitting atop the two Panther tanks,The Driver had come out of his position to work on the suspension. Having cut out the engine,Luke was looking around the surrounding area with his binoculars. He said to the gunner "Turn Hydraulics on...I can see the Glint of Steel near that Tree line..." with that the Gunner grinned,Decending into the tank he turned the hydraulics on. The Secondary Motor that ran the Hydraulics kicked in,Luke said "Load AP...Don't fire unless your sure of the hit"
Luke Grinned as the turret turned a little,Only To Duck a moment after as a The Red Dawn shook. Shouting a loud curse As a Shell had Struck the forward plate,The Gunner didn't hesitate though as he Fired. The Red dawn shaking more as the 128mm Gun fired,a moment after a large explosion came from the Tree line. a chunk of armor flying and crashing down near the other end of the bridge,though it wasn't marked to show what tank it was Luke could identify it. from the shape the chunk had been part of the Engine cover on a M4A2E8 Sherman... |

| I get back into the tank and check our Shell Rack. We have about 30 shells left, and about 15 Ammo Boxes for the Machine Guns. I turn the tank on and call for the crew to get into it. We finish up our short rest and continue moving, we plan on leaving Austria behind after today. After a few hours more of driving, we enter Germany again. We are about another days worth of travel from that village. I find that the odds of us coming into more combat are slim due to our encounter yesterday. But, with what I consider to be Murphys Curse. Just thinking that will make us encounter a tank that would kill us before we could even fire. |

Luke was Grumbling and Cursing as he was now looking over the Dent on the Frontal armor of the Red Dawn,Barely enough to scratch the paint despite the solid metal shell that struck it. The driver said "Suspensions Fixed...Better get Moving Sir" Luke grumbled as he got in,the Gunner was Busy trying to Correct the optics. Luke said "Leave it...Were moving out!" With that the Driver started up the engine again,the Red Dawn groaning as it scraped off the tank hulls and started moving along again...
Luke Was resting within the turret,not bothering to look around currently. He doubted any other Tanks were in the area to worry about,Even then Luke trusted the armor of the Red Dawn enough not to Fear taking the first blow. The Gun wasn't loaded either,Mainly because he didn't keep it loaded when they were traveling long distance. Luke said "How long till we Reach the Polish Border?" The Driver responded "Few hours...Not far to Travel...But there's so much rubble on the roads...Not Risking ramming through it...might damage the suspension again" Luke grumbled...wondering how they could get delayed so badly... |
