Battle Over Britian(OOC:Interest thread)

[NS::]Reallydrunk
04-06-2006, 21:56
OK, here it is....

I was wondering if anyone was interested in a WW2 Battle Of Britian Rp. I was thinking players make up pilots, choose planes and enter head to head in intense dogfighting action over places such as, the English channel, France, Germany, Holland....Ect...

I want to see who all would be interested in as an Rp such as this, i think it has great potential and could go far. I have been on NS for awhile and never seen an Rp about planes.. ships, land wars, yes...but never combat taken to the skys.

Make your ace and sign up...

Here is mine for future reference...

Name: Kurt Bauer
Age: 23
Nationality: Austrian
Description: 5'10, dity blonde hair, blue eyes, 170Lbs
Alligence: Germany
Rank: Oberleutnant- Flying Officer (Luftwaffe)
Aircraft flown: Me Bf-109
Bio: Kurt Bauer is from Saltzburg and grew up around planes his whole life. His father served in WW1 as a pilot, he was shot down once over France but managed to survive making it back to the airfield to take to the skys once more in an attempt to snatch victory from the enemy. Kurt is unmarried but his parents, two brothers and one sister live in Saltzburg Austria.

Bauer is a Bf-109 pilot and signed on in late 1939, he was one of the best in his classes flying three missions in North Africa, 2 in poland and one over England successfully completing his objectives that he was tasked with. Kurt Bauer hopes to be an Ace one day, overall goal is to make his father proud. Bauer is not a true Nazi, he is doing what his nation requires of him and nothing will stand in his way.

Sweet, another great charater RP

Name: David Peters
Age: 21
Nationality: English
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130 lbs
Alligence: England
Aircraft flown: Spitfire
Bio: David was born in Liverpool, to a industrial worker and a London waitress. His father was an infantryman in The Great War, and was wounded when his company went over the top in 1917. He spent the rest of the war in London, where he met his eventual wife, who would move back to Liverpool with him.

David was a member of the International Brigade in Spain during the Civil War. He was an infantryman like his father, but after his experiences in Guernica, he decided to become a airman, for he felt he was not cut out for the job of a foot soldier. Soon after, he joined the RAF, and the rest they say, is history.

I'd like to join on the allied side.

Name: Erik Hansen
Age: 26
Nationality: Norwegian
Description: 1.72 meters tall, brown hair, green eyes
Allegience: Royal Air Force (since June 1940 when the remainders of the Norwegian military fled Norway to England)
Rank: Kaptein (Norwegian Army); Flight Lieutenant (RAF)
Aircraft flown: Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I
Bio: Erik Hansen started his flying career in 1938 in the Royal Norwegian Army's Aviation Corps based at Fornebu air station near Oslo, Norway, flying a Gloster Gladiator. During the German invasion on the 9th of April, 1940, Erik was among the few pilots who made it to the air and succeeded in shooting down one German He-111 bombers and one Me-110 fighter. After the initial success, he was shot down over Oslo but managed to get out of the city before the Germans could take him prisoner. After fighting on the ground along with the Norwegian ground forces, Erik followed the people who fled to England in early June 1940 aboard a vessel belonging to the Royal Norwegian Navy. After having made it to England, Erik reported for duty at the Norwegian Embassy in London and was assigned to the Royal Air Force. After quick training, he was given a Spitfire and assigned to an active RAF squadron in Southern England where he currently serves. Should the exile government decide to establish an independent Norwegian Air Force, he is likely to be ordered to join it.

Aircraft flown: Spitfire Mk I (II if the timeline permits (Late 1940))
Bio:

Although still quite young and inexperienced, he is considered a superb fighter pilot, his instincts and reflexes are unmatched anywhere in his squadron, which is why he is already a Flying Officer. He and his squadron had seen some combat, in the form of skirmishes while on patrol, where he had gained a total of 4 kills, 15 for the squadron. The attacks have come more frequent recently, though his squadron hasn't been called into a big dogfight upto now, although he is quite looking forward to it..
