Re: Invasion of Normandy

The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between Nazi Germany in Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II. Over sixty years later, the Normandy invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, still remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving almost three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in then German-occupied France.The primary Allied formations that saw combat in Normandy came from the United States of America, United Kingdom and Canada. Substantial Free French and Polish forces also participated in the battle after the assault phase, and there were also contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway.
The Normandy invasion began with overnight parachute and glider landings, massive air attacks and naval bombardments, and an early morning amphibious assault on June 6, "D-Day". The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, with campaigns to establish, expand, and eventually break out of the Allied beachheads, and concluded with the liberation of Paris and the fall of the Falaise Pocket in late August 1944.
The importance of the battle of Normandy was best summed up by Hitler himself; "In the East, the vastness of space will . . . permit a loss of territory . . . without suffering a mortal blow to Germany's chance for survival. Not so in the West! If the enemy here succeeds . . . consequences of staggering proportions will follow within a short time."
_____You will take part in the beach landings of June 6, 1944. This will be a completely realistic role-play. That means no 'God-Moding', no 'Superhero' posts, and no screwing around. Remember, it's your choice to role-play this, and if you're not going to follow the rules, don't sign up. Also, I'd like to keep the typing to something semi-formal. Hopefully we can sway away from typing like 'i shoot n kill 5 germans, and thro a nade and kill 7 hidin behind a rock.' Please keep it detailed, and try to type properly. Thank you for your consideration, and please, just have fun.
Also, when your character is talking, always use quotes. When you're talking on radio (Radioman only) use [brackets].

War of the Keyblades:
Background:
Several years after Sora and Riku had defeated the crazed Xemnas, peace finally returned to the worlds. malefeicent had stolen the dark keyblade from its holy resting place and mass produced them but not before the side of light caught wind of what she was up to and did the same. The people who will wield them is YOU!!!!
You will start by picking a faction either the Heartless or the Worlds Alliance, you will then be given a keyblade by your factions leader. It will start weak but you can improve it with keychains you find on your journeys. you will need a character sheet including.
Name: ( No game names, be your own keyblade master )

a brief brackground and description of your character:
The only problem i see with this is, I dont think i can run it by myself. ill need a leader for both ends and im not sure how to work out combat or money systems. Its a great idea but I just need some finsishing touches
Hey people, I haven't been here in ages but the need to write again has overcome me, so here goes.
In the Darkness they lurk:
Have you ever had a nightmare?
I have, restless nights I've spent twisting and turning in my sleep, awaking screaming and drenched in cold sweat.
Am I mentally ill, paranoid, stressed or maybe afraid?
I'll leave that for you to decide.
There has always been something about the dark that has sent a cold chill down my spine. The endlessness of darkness, not knowing what lurks in the shadows. Apparently not many think as I do.
Have you ever had a feeling, a feeling that you're being watched?
Something lurking in the dark observing you, you could swear that you saw it, something moving in the corner of your eye, something that makes you want to run away but you just go on convincing yourself that your mind is playing tricks on you. If asked you say that it was nothing and that it was too dark to tell anyway. That's the logical explanation, I mean only kids believe in monsters.
Have you ever looked for it, searched the dark for what could be lurking just out of sight?
Probably not.
Why?
Afraid?
Well you'd be a fool not to be but still your not sure why exactly your afraid or what you're afraid of. I think that your afraid that you might find something, something that you were brought up not to believe in, the thing that somewhere in the dark corners of your mind you know you fear...
~~I love a dramatic entry. ^^
My part in this story is a former police officer, Paul Bakster, who was in the NYPD at the time and happened to stumble upon a terrifying creature that dominates the dark, along with his partner Chris. They are lead to the creatures from a trail left by a dead woman, Megan Norm. Paul was lucky to survive the encounter but his partner and lifelong friend, was not so lucky. He was left in bits and pieces for Paul to explain to his superior officer. The NYPD apparently did not like their officers telling unexplainable stories and days later paul was left with no job to speak of, only a horrifying image of his best friends body torn apart and something he could not explain, a creature he'd seen, to whom the touch of light was deadly.
In the months to follow Chris's death, Paul begins a search to find the origin of these creatures. His only source of information, a diary, written by the diseased Megan. The only problem is, that the diary was written in a language that paul can not decipher. He feels a grave danger concerning these creatures and the recent increase in their numbers is apparent by the hundreds of brutal, unexplained deaths that were gradually occurring more frequently.
~~
The RPG will basically be a few peoples quest, to find out about these creatures that haunt the dark and eventually rid the world (or what's left of it 😉) of their threat.
I will tell you now that I have the story line pretty much figured out and it won't be an easy quest nor will it go uneventful. You can expect many huge events to take place.
I'm not looking for too many players because it causes confusion and tends to shorten the lives of RPGs. I'd say 6 players is the maximum I'll allow at any given time. Anyone who fails to post for a certain period of time will first be taken over by the other players and eventually killed off to let a new player join (if needed).
I have a more in depth introduction to the story at, http://thedarknessacrypt.blogspot.com/
It's simply too long to post here and I thought a summarised version would be more fitting.
I hope you guys like the idea, I hope some serious writers join me in this.
Please post a reply here if you feel that you'd be interested in joining. =)
If I get an ok, I'll post further instructions.

Yup, I have been on holiday.Ok, ESB and Doommaster can go ahead, and Burning's idea can if he gets enough people.
I'm glad the 2 of you want to join.
As far as I'm concerned, if we get at least one more person we could start. =)
SilentSoul, I have a key character that I need for this story, she must be female. She's the daughter of Megan Norm, if you're interested in the part, let me know.
Just so you know, this isn't a classic rpg with written out rules. It's more of a multi author game where every person takes the role of a certian character in the story. The main rules will be to follow the general story outlines that I will give and to "keep it real", no god moding or anything of the sort.
Ush, don't know if you remember me from back when I was active on these forums but I can assure you that if I have a good group of people in this rpg with me, we'll do a good job on it.
