IC THREAD
So the point of this thread is not to have an action-packed heroic war epic, it’s meant to be much more subtle. I’d like it so the characters are civilian though I won’t rule out people who want to play soldiers. So long as you have a good reason for your character showing up in Alleyne. I am hoping to have a small band of characters join together to survive the winter and occasionally German forces. Though really focus on the characters more than anything, since much of the thread will be interaction between characters feel free to make elaborate histories for your application. PM me with any questions I’m sure I’m being more vague and less to the point than I mean to be so feel free to contact me and we can discuss characters, the concept or anything. Please Post your application in the OOC thread and wait for approval before posting. Not that I’m gonna be picky about who I let in, so long as your posts are not consistently short and please spell check. Thank you
Name: Miranda Speirs
D.O.B: October 9th, 1918
Nationality: Canadian/Belgian
Height/Weight: 5’7”, 120 lbs
Eye Colour: Green
Hair: Brown
Occupation: Triage nurse
Appearance: Fairly tall and curvy but lean frame, her skin is on the pale side and smooth to the touch save for her hands which have grown rough from the work she’s done as a nurse. She has several small almost unnoticeable scars scattered across her body time doing it’s best to fade them.
War Wounds: Has a entry and exit wound in her lower abdomen the entry on her right side, lower back above her hips. The exit almost central near her navel. A small gash on her forehead just above her right ear and stemming up along her hair line.
History: Born and raised in Canada Miranda is the daughter of a Belgian father and Canadian mother. Her father moved with his family to Canada in the early 1920s and Miranda spent her youth and teen years there before impending war loomed and her parents, both MD’s heeded the call of duty and moved back to Europe in 1936. At the time of them moving Miranda was just finishing her fourth year of medical school but cut her education short to stay with her family.
In 1938 she met and got engaged to a Belgian man named Nicholas who was a soldier in the Belgian army. They were parted in 1940 when German forces invaded Belgium, Nicholas left the small town of Alleyne to go fight in Luxembourg leaving Miranda in the relative safety of the town. For the first month he would send letters back to her but after that she heard nothing of him. German forces had succeeded in their task, though the war in Belgium was not over yet it was just a matter of cleaning out the last pockets of resistance. A small retreating Belgian force had lured the German army to Alleyne where a short battle occurred in the town and it was during that battle Miranda was shot. In the following days there were heavy artillery strikes that leveled most of the town. Since she had been alone recovering in one of the houses on the eastern outskirts she could do nothing but listen to the explosion and squeaky screams of collapsing houses while panic and fear gripped the voices of the townspeople. Then there was nothing, no artillery, no more fear. German voices and tanks passing through town was the only sound she heard for days and days until she could move enough to peak out the window. The town was decimated and she was alone.
