CLICK SPOILER LINK BELOW FOR BIOS See more NEW CHARACTER Benz Heiress Character Biography Real Name Athala Benz Age 22-28 Country of Origin Germany, England Languages German, English Occupation Entrepreneur, heiress, celebrity Theme Song Dark Nights - DOROTHY Personality BIO In progress fictional Athala Benz is one of the grandchildren of famous Karl Friedrich Benz, one of the founders, engineers, and creators of Mercedes-Benz company. She bore an extremely close relationship with her grandfather and in return, he left her a substantial fortune and part of the company upon his passing in 1929. Although the company was formed from a union of Benz Cie as well as Daimler GM, Athala still inherited a portion of the company making her one of the youngest, richest women in Germany at the start of the war. She is a savvy business woman, and known to be incredibly bright, charming, and beautiful. Although she was born into wealth and remained extremely wealthy, Athala is also very generous. She is an active member of her community and continues to offer her services and wealth to charities. Because Athala is of wealth and fame, she is an avid socialite and fashionista. She is famous for her sharp sense of style and her love of fashion and glam. Because she is beautiful and charismatic, she is a popular guest among many high-class and high-profile events. Additionally, she is a successful singer and actress, appearing in many roles in both German and English cinema. Despite her creative talent, Athala has a strong passion for business and is determined to continue the success of the company Mercedes-Benz her grandfather had left her. Business was flourishing now more than ever, especially with the rise of war. Mercedes-Benz became the luxury brand of choice for Adolf Hitler himself, the company supplying Nazi-German forces with motors, engines, and vehicles that would soon become famous for their sleek design and specially-custom bullet-proof windshields. Hitler would go on to make the Grosser Mercedes 770 W 150 his car of choice. Although the company had bloomed under the business of Nazi Germany, Athala was guilt-stricken by the horrors of war. She was unable to morallyethically support the use of forced laborers in their factories nor the supply of product to the Nazi Party, though this side of the business was far out of her control and authority. However, since Athala is so wealthy and resourceful, she begins secretly aiding German oppositional forces by supplying them with funds, ammunition, weaponry, and vehicles. She, in turn, begins to live a double life. On one side she appeared to be a proud company owner, heiress and celebrity, enjoying a life of wealth, glam, and popularity. But on the other side, Athala was commuting treason and mutiny, completely betraying her country and assisting organizations in their efforts to stop Nazi Germany and the war. Jazz Meister Character Biography Real Name Kamaria von Stark Age 20-24 years old Country of Origin Germany Languages English, German, some French Occupation Jazz Singer Theme Song Cry Me A River - Ella Fitzgerald Personality BIO Kamaria is a biracial female, born in Germany to a German Caucasian father and an African-American mother. Her father, Mr. von Stark, met Kamaria's mother, Tiana , while on a business trip to the United States in the early 1900s. The two, despite social taboo, fell in love with another. Rather than staying in the US, the two returned back to Germany where it was legal to marry, unlike in the United States. However, legal marriage between interracial couple was not an easy feat, even in Germany. The two eloped in 1910, and by 1912, interracial marriage was mostly banned throughout all of Germany and even its colonies in Africa. With Hitler's rise to power and with the aggression of white supremacy and the Aryan race, by 1935, the Nuremberg Laws came in to effect. Although it specifically targeted Jews, Romani gypsies, and Slavs - it also included anyone of African descent, including biracial or mulatto individuals and children. Under this law, all biracials born in Germany were revoked their German citizenship and deemed impure. Although there was no official procedure against Afro-Germans like there was for Jews and Romas, blacks were placed at the very bottom of social class and deemed dirty, unsanitary, and disgusting. Most could not find legitimate jobs due to this growing stigma. During this time, there are also many reports of Afro-Germans being forcibly taken for experiments and forced sterilization. To avoid such torture, much of the black population of Germany fled andor went into hiding. Although Mr. and Mrs. von Stark face many sneers, judgements and dismay, they refused to divorce and went on to have three mulatto children. The eldest son, Aurick, and the middle child, Ernest, would return to the United States shortly before the war in order to visit family. Kamaria, on the other hand, would have stayed behind, having become a reputable singer and not wanting to let down her local band, The Meisters in German, Die Meisters . Like her mother, Kamaria grew up with a love for jazz and an extraordinary talent for singing. However, with rise of antisemitism and racism, jazz became deemed Negermusik negro music by Nazi elitist, Hitler even calling it alien, a form of music that had to be eradicated. By 1938, jazz had been oppressed and banned from most stages in Germany, with the exception of a couple of places in Berlin for tourists. Despite the derogatory musical oppression, many elites still enjoyed the genre, including the dance form that normally came with it swing dancing. Despite efforts to crush jazz and its origin to an impure race African-Americans, underground jazz bars, clubs, and restaurants became big hot spots in Germany's secret underworld. Kamaria, unable to escape Nazi Germany before the revocation of her citizenship and passport, she continues to sing and perform in her jazz band. For the roleplay, I will be using the voice of Ella Fitzgerald. Sky Maiden Character Biography Real Name Ruxandra Dalca Age 20-24 years old Country of Origin Romania Languages Romanian, Russian - possibly German and English Occupation Pilot, maybe - Super-soldier Theme Song Titanium - David Guetta feat. Sia Personality BIO Ruxandra is one of the few women of her time to be a fully trained and licensed military pilot. She is an active member of the Royal Romanian Air Forces, having enlisted under a special forces team of female pilots and military combatants in a project known as Escadrila Alb . Escadrila Alb , or White Squadron were an elite team of highly-skilled pilots and medical professionals that served for Romania in the Odessa invasion as well as the Battle of Stalingrad. Although trained to fly almost anything, Ruxandra's specialty in the war was flying medical transport, RWD-13 planes . Although many planes were shot down during battles both out of cross-fire and out of tactical medical sabotage, Ruxandra's is one of the surviving pilots of the war chaos. Super-soldier Potential I am also open to entertaining the idea that she is turned in to a sort of super-soldier pilot by Russian forces looking to gain an advantage over their German opponents. In this scenario, Ruxandra would have gotten her arm torn off in an accident after her plane was shot down. A Russian spy organization would save her life, opting to replace her unsalvageable human arm with a high-tech bionic one. This idea is inspired by the Marvel superherovillain character Bucky or The Winter Soldier. In the comics, he has a metal arm that enables his to do a variety of exceptional things as a result of the super-strength it provides. I'm open to exploring an idea similar to that. It may also be a bionic hand, not an entire arm, as well. Or even another limb or multiple limbs - we can discuss! In this scenario, Ruxandra would still continue to be a pilot, and she would become known for jumping out of her own plane to land on another. Her arms would enable her to grab on penetrate the steel of a plane in order to invade the enemy pilot and eliminate them. She would become a sort of military myth - the kind of folklore soldiers would gossip about while trying to entertain themselves. Since few live to tell the tale, the stories of a Sky Maiden is believed to be just fiction. Medical Morals Character Biography Real Name Arielle Proulx Age 18-20 years old Country of Origin France Languages French, English, Hebrew, German Occupation Nurse Theme Song Human - Christina Perri Personality BIO In Progress Arielle is highly educated, coming from a wealthy family of businessmen and teachers. Her mother is Jewish and ab elementary school teacher and her father is Catholic, a businessman owner of many companies. Her and her parents, alongside her three siblings, all grew up in central Paris. They were all educated in private schools and became fluent in four languages. After high school, Arielle pursued a career in Nursing. At the start of the Second World War, Arielle enlisted to serve France, thinking she would be utilizing her medical skills to help fighting members in the war. Little did she know, she'd also be at the mercy of treating enemies of the war, too her country's very own invading German soldiers and any other wounded members of the Third Reich including but not limited to Nazi and SS officers. Because France was invaded and seized by German forces early in the war, her seemingly patriotic intentions were turned soured, and she was forced to also aid wounded Germans, as well. The Club Singer Cheetah Character Biography Real Name Eva Jager Fake Name Adeline Hase Age 18 years old pretending to be 21. Country of Origin UnknownUndecided Languages UnknownUndecided Occupation Club Singer Theme Song Why Don't You Do Right - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Personality BIO EvaAdeline is a drop dead gorgeous young woman who has come accustomed to men swooning over her looks and her voice. Though, because of her beauty and the fact that she is ringlesshusbandless, she has become susceptible to much disrespect from men. Although she is often seen as an object of sexual desire, she is much smarter than that and holds herself to a higher standard. She is extraordinarily stubborn, and makes it part of her mission to refuse and repel all men who wish to get to know her. She's very independent, head-strong, and quite fiesty. She has a sassy, but charming, personality and a big mouth that often gets her into trouble. I don't really have a plot for this one. I'd just like her to be a club singer stage-named Cheetah. Someone who would be a reputable performer in a small town. She would sing at a fairly fancy restaurant that has a stage and equipment for entertainment. She would be the entertainment that night where the restaurant is very jam-packed with various families and parties one being members of the Nazi party andor German soldiers andor the Inglorious Basterds crew or some other group of individuals open to suggestions!. A male member of any of these groups would find himself entranced by her voice, beauty, and her extremely curvy physique. She would have a false identity as she is Jewish and escaped the hold of a notorious Nazi who tried to keep her and use her as a sex slave. There would be a bounty on her head andor someone looking for her. This someone could also be your character. Open to other possibilities, too! We can have her from the club-resto at any country. She is singing in English, but if we change it to a country where English wouldn't be sung in a restaurant likely, then we'll just pretend she's singing in whatever language of the country. Mystery Bride Character Biography Real Name Audra Buckley Fake German Name Vera Auttenberg Age Claims to be 22 years old but is actually 25. Country of Origin England Pretending to be German Languages English, German Occupation Widow British Spy Theme Song I Always Kill The Things I Love - L.A. Noire Soundtrack Personality BIO Although AudraVera is British, she is a wicked good actress, and has mastered both the German language and the German accent completely concealing her British accent. Despite all the legal documents to prove her fake German identity, Vera is actually a British spy. She has worked for years to infiltrate Nazi Germany working with a private British organization. Though she is to be married to a big political powerhouse, closely linked to the Nazi party, there is truly something more she wishes to gain other than Nazi access. She is just as smart as she is beautiful, and uses her good looks and charming personality to lure in people she can use including her soon-to-be husband. She is head-strong, very stubborn, and acts like nothing can scare her although this isn't true. AudraVera tries not to be intimidated by soldiers and Nazi members though she fears losing her identity, as well as losing her chance to get what she wants. One of the most beautiful high-class women in the region is Vera Auttenberg. She is smart, cunning, but most importantly, charming and beautiful. She is a young woman, new to the marriage market, as her previous husband died, leaving her a young widow with a ton of money. Since her deceased husband was a very prestigious business man and was active in the political scene in Germany, he was very well-known and left her well off. Because of this, it didn't take her too long to meet another powerful man, though much, much older, a 62 year old gentleman named Eber. Eber is a successful politician and businessman with no wife, an older son, and a very young 9 year old daughter. Having been widowed for a long time, it didn't take him long to fall for the young and beautiful Vera. Their engagement comes as a quick and shocking surprise, though nevertheless, their wedding is announced to be extravagant. Despite this happy day, there is one issue Eber's son. Eber's son - who just so happens to be a high ranking Nazi party member who doesn't always see eye-to-eye with his father particularly not with marrying a much younger woman, whom to him, seemed very, very suspicious. Prior to the wedding, he had only met this mysterious wonder woman once, on a short meeting at his father's and her's engagement party. His life being chaotic and busy with work, politics, and parties, he didn't have the time to interrogate her... though, he did have the resources to investigate her identity. His investigation leads him to a slew of legal German documents, though he can sense they are fake. On the wedding day, he makes his way over to the mansion to which is in hectic preparation and snoops around her belongings. He comes to find a British passport labelled Audra Buckley her real identity as well as a picture of a baby girl. Convinced she is a spy, Eber's son decides to surprise the bride in her suite, as she is just about to leave to walk down the aisle. The interaction I envision would be him coming into the touch-up room she's rented at the church, to which she is just putting the last of her jewelry and such on. She would already be bride-ready the pictures above and would be startled by his entrance. I'm thinking he could start off talking to her calmly and nicely but then he would start to ask her subliminal questions. His intent is to threatenscare her into a confession. Though she is stronger than he thinks. Being a Nazi, I don't expect him to be particularly gentle, unless you want to make his character vindictive and creepy in that sense. How ever you want to play him! I do just have one requirement That his character is remarkably attracted to Vera and her beauty and cannot pull his mind away from wanting and having her as his own bride and in that sense, carries a lot of jealousy towards his father especially seeing her in wedding attire. The Ratskeller Barmaid Character Biography Real Name Arianne Bellerose Fake Name Christa Age 18-25 years old Country of Origin Unknown Theme Song Bang Bang Shot Me Down - Nico Vega Personality BIO Inspired by Inglourious Basterds Arianne is a Jewish young woman who's actually from France.

She is very intelligent and educated, and speaks five languages French, German, English, Hebrew, and Yiddish. She is very charming, sweet, and soft-spoken. She is a general kind and generous person, though, since the slaughter of her family, she has vowed vengeance although doesn't really have much of a game plan - she's traveled to Germany out of spontaneity. Additionally, her family also had a farm house that they spent most summers at. There, she learned many skills, such as how to handle a gun. In order to further the Basterd and English military cause, actress Bridget von Hammersmark The German Actress arranges a sort of eventparty at an underground RatskellerGerman tavern. Bridget teams up with Lt. Archie Hicox The Brit - who is posing as a GermanNazi Lieutenant. At the tavern, the group of soldiers are being served by a lovely Barmaid named Christa - who is posing as German Christian, though she is secretly a French Jew named Arianne.

She gets irritated, and talks back to which she realizes could get her killed. Lt. Archie Hicox realizes the lady is in a social-political murder spot and stands to defend her.

She has a reputation within the Nazi-soldier community for being extremely vicious, sadistic, and violent. She has been linked to over a dozen high-profile assassinations of Nazi members, and has killed countless German soldiers. She is very gory and torturous with her murders, landing her the nickname Hellfire inspired by her bright red-orange hair. She has often been described as cold, wicked, and even demonic. Because of her past, she has no sympathy towards anyone involved in the NaziGerman movement. Aside from being a skilled killer, Izolda has also been known to effectively use a sniper rifle the one portrayed in the image is a modern sniper - thus to properly fit in this roleplay, she would be using a Gewehr Sniper Rifle instead. She is the sole Jewish survivor of her family and community to have escaped a Jewish round-up in her town. She has wandered from Poland, through Germany, and to potentially France on an escapade to find Sgt. Rachtman who had raped her younger sister and attempted to rape her before putting a bullet in her sister's head. Since the even, she has lost a sense of privacy. She has very few personal boundaries for a woman of her time, not finding her body to be something worth hidingsaving preserving since the assault. Izolda can be interpreted as borderline psychotic, as she shows very little emotion and is very closed off though, this is just a defense mechanism developed after the incident to protect herself from emotional pain. However, once she trusts someone enough, she does open up, and is actually very intricate, complex, and even humorous. She is a sadistic murderer, often using her own body and the power of sexual desire in men as a means to seduce, lure andor distract her prey. Izolda is driven by a furious vengeance, and as she discovers Sgt. Rachtman at the hands of Donny Donowitz The Bear Jew she makes an effort to stop him from killing the Nazi, so that she could do it herself.
