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...

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.

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.

Well we have four players, two German, Two Allied....i suppose we can wait for another one or two..then we can launch this..

Bump...

Any more interest?

Kulikovo...umm, i think we may be a little short for the beginning of this Rp, BUT that is not a problem...i figure once people see how we do it they will become interested.

:)

I just want to add, players who are involved in this rp can also control their surrounding enviroments on the ground, such as other charactors besides their main....

Commanders, other buddys...ect.. what have you...

I just confused myself.:confused:

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.

I agree.As long as we all continue playing it this could go on for a while.If this works out well, we could make another thread and a new rp thing we are all intrested in.This could be the begining of some beautiful friendships.:D

Sounds like a good plan.

perhaps one of the allied people could be convinced to switch to axis?or should we just wait.

Also,I belive the allied side is closed with 4 people.

One last thing to add,I belive we should start at Dunkirk.

I don't think an ally would switch to the axis, perhaps the other way around?

No way,I'm not talking about allegance,I'm talikng about numbers.There are two people for axis and 4 for allies.If an ally switched,we would be even.

Well,it is all an rp and just because you are part of the military does not make you a nazi.Remeber,Hitler decieved the german public ,including members of the military,into beliving he was trying to save germany when in fact he was just using them for his own sick agenda.

Okay, when will you start the rp?

Yay im excited! dogfighting will be fun! ahaha

Really drunk, what should be our squad name.I was thinking something like "silver thunder" or something like that.

Hi!
Reallydrunk pointed me to this thread, so I thought I'd try out stuff. I have 1 character thought of, but depending on how the rp goes and if I don't get to confused I'll think of a person fighting in the war.

Name: Tania Capron
Age: 23
Job: Nurse on the ground in Paris France
Nationality: French
Speaks: English, french and some german
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: blue
Height: 5 feet 6 inches
Weight: 135 pounds

If more info is needed, feel free to ask!

Reallydrunk, is this a good character? Let me know..cause if not I can change anything.

It is a good charactor, it shouldn't be too confusing....you'll be able to keep up.

Just wondering if this is still open?

Of course, sign on up....

Name: Alexander Biggles
Age: 19
Nationality: British
Description: Medium length Dark brown hair, 6'0 tall, Bright green eyes
Alligence: Britain. RAF.
Rank: Flying Officer
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..

Spitfire Mk 2: http://www.wingsoverelburn.com/images/Kunesh/Sweet%20Victory%20lrg.jpg

Could you tell me if the timeline permits the Mk II? I'd prefer that one, but if it's too early it doesn't matter.

By the way...If you want me to fight for Germany I will..

This rp can go anywhere. An allied pilot could be shot down and try and escape German patrols.

Here's a pic of a Eagle Squadron Hurricane IIB firing her guns. The game is Pacific Fighters(Stand alone).

IRL, there was the RAF 322 "Dutch" Squadron, but it was established around 1942. Does anyone mind if I RP a pilot of 322 Squadron during the Battle of Britain? Otherwise I'll RP a Dutch pilot who joins a regular squadron.
