Thread: [CLOSED] HISTORICAL Roleplays - Renaissance + Jurassic (OLD)

RE HISTORICAL Roleplays - Vikings, Renaissance, WWII, Fan-Fictions - WORLD WAR II - General Inglourious Basterds See more I'm a big history buff and I'm particularly obsessed with the Second World War. Therefore, I have several cravings and ideas related to that time period. There are several concepts and themes that I enjoy most about roleplays involving history such as discrimination, racism, power-hunger, political turmoil, social turmoil, suffrage, interracial, intercultural, interfaith, religion, break of societal norms, etc. All aspects I'd like to include. Please , also take a look at the Inglorious Basterds plots , even if you've never seen the film! The plots can be played with OC's of yours so they are still valuable even out of film context! BELOW are character OC bios accompanied by general background information that can be used towards a plotidea. These characters are not directly created for an Inglourious Basterds themed roleplay, but by all means, if you'd like to mesh the two - I'm more than willing to do so! - 1 Mystery Bride 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. 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 Personality 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. Although she has 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. 2 The Club Singer Cheetah 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! The song she would be singing would be 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. Character Biography Real Name Eva Jager Fake Name Adeline Hase Age 18 years old pretending to be 21. Country of Origin UnknownUndecided Personality 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 feisty. She has a sassy, but charming, personality and a big mouth that often gets her into trouble. 3 Made In France Sophie is the sister to a very successful French businessman I'm thinking he owns ammunition factories or something of the like. Though, despite her brother owning the majority of the company, Sophie is the first-hand man or woman and the brains behind sales. She accompanies her brother everywhere to meet all the potential buyers. During Germany's occupation of France after they surrendered, the company would go into arrangements with the Nazi Party. The meeting, since high-class and professional, would be at a restaurant over wine and good food to discuss the details of the sale. Though, little does Sophie know, that the group of men her brother has made arrangements with are reputable members of the Nazi Party. A political group she very much detests, and wishes to have no part in. Knowing his sister would not approve, Sophie's brother pretends like it's a different company and Sophie does not find out who they are truly dealing with until already in the restaurant when she meets them. Possibilities include playing a member of the Nazi party, or perhaps even, someone who is working for the Nazi party to make this sale. Another possibility is also a German soldier, or even, no one from the group but rather someone who is also eating at the restaurant. This can include the Inglorious Basterds crew who perhaps can be eating there in order to get to the Nazi party who are meeting Sophie and her brother. If you have any other ideas, I'm open! Character Biography Real Name Sophie Chevalier Age 22-25 years old Country of Origin France Personality Like her brother, she is very wealthy from the business, and is high-class. She holds herself to the utmost standard, which is seen through her expensive jewelry, fine taste in wine, and glamorous appearance. She is very strong-willed, very smart, and very witty. It's what makes her so valuable to the company, and she has a knack for making good financial and company choices. Because Sophie is so independent, she has a big mouth, and often over steps social boundaries that a woman should not over step in that period. Likewise, she is very outspoken and always speaks her mind. 4 The Beauty in the Thief A popular restaurant has customers of all sorts. It's great attractions like a live band and entertainment, good food, fancy wine, and beautiful decor attract many wealthy and prestigious individuals. One busy night, a young woman Katharina is seated at a table for two, though she is alone. Having to been apparently stood-up by whoever she is supposed to be having dinner with, she remains lonely at the table with cut a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette. Though, this is all an act. The young woman is actually a man-eater and thief. She pretends like she is lonely and abandoned, and with her drop dead gorgeous looks and feminine physique, men practically rush to her side to consolidate her. Her act? Lure the man, charm the man, take the man 'home', and ultimately, steal from him. Depending on what she gets, she will or will not actually go home with the guy. Though usually, she is able to obtain a wallet andor jewelry before actually leaving the restaurant skilled pick-pocket and master of distraction. Her little act works wonders and almost immediately, a rich-looking man approaches her and takes a seat beside her. The two flirt, and as Katharina leans in to charm the man, she sneaks her hand into his jacket and slips out his wallet. Remarkably, the man is so infatuated with her that he doesn't notice, and goes in for a kiss. She rejects him, playfully laughing as she turns her head to disallow him to kiss her. She excuses herself to the washroom, and leaves with his wallet. As she is gone, the man notices his wallet is gone and realizes she has taken it and fled. He chases after her, and as she is fleeing out the back door, he grabs her in the alley behind the restaurant and attempts to angrily beat and rape her. I'm thinking another male character yours would have observed and watched the entire pick-pocket. Perhaps he, too, notices her beauty but rather than approaching her, he watched as another man did the same. He finds her thieving ways charming, but as he watches the man realize his wallet has been stolen he follows the man to the back alley and stops him before he is able to killseriously hurtrape Katharina. The male character saviour could be anyone from a Nazi General, to a German soldier, to one of the Inglorious Basterds, or even a businessman. Whatever you feel like playing, I'm open! Character Biography Fake Name Katharina Raskoph Real Name Unknown Undisclosed Age 19 years old Country of Origin Unknown Germany Personality Katharina is an amnesic orphan who has no memory of anything that happened to her, or who she was, prior to the age of 16. She was found beaten to near death on the street and was hospitalized with no identification. Because of this, she ended up in an orphanage, to which she ran away from but a year later. She made her living off of stealing, pick-pocketing, and conning people out of their money. Her dazzling beauty has helped her survived since she fled. She is very charming, witty, and has a playful personality. Though, when angered or insulted, she becomes feisty and quite sassy. 5 Little Green Gypsy There is no specific plot for this. The character is just a young Gypsy who is trying to escape the war. I'm thinking she is orphaned. That perhaps her parents were massacred during one of the many Gypsy raids and she was successfully hidden and one of the only to who have not been killedtaken. She would look similar to The Little Red Riding Hood, as she would carry a green hooded cloak while roaming the woods. Essentially, she would be homeless, often hungry, and would have no one. She can be found anywhere from a town to the woods though I'm thinking the woods since Gypsies often traveled. She can be paired with any type of character, though I always find opposites attract concept to be fascinating in terms of romance. Perhaps a German soldier or Nazi were to find her. Or someone who used to be affiliated with the Nazi party but left. She can also be paired with Inglorious Basterds characters. Character Biography Real Name Luvina Dalca Gypsy Nick Name Lu-Lu Age 16-18 years old Country of Origin Romania Personality Luvina is a very intelligent and cunning, despite her young age. She's extraordinarily street smart, and knows how to get around and survive on her own without the help of anyone else. Because she has lived her life in a traveler community, she is used to finding food that sometimes requires hunting and is also good at finding shelter. Luvina is a handy pick-pocketer and a master actress. She can con nearly anyone into believing she's telling the truth all to get what she wants which is usually food, money, or something else needed to stay alive. She's constantly cautious, and trusts no one. She's suspicious of nearly everyone, and chooses to roam towns on her own. Though, her young age makes her a target. 6 The Christian Jew Two Jewish families are posing as Christians together in a log cabin in the woods. They would set up bear traps around the far-off property in hopes of keeping animals and unwanted guests, such as soldiers, at bay. Though, since there is a strong possibility of them being discovered, they have decorated their home as Christians no signs of Judaism. As Christmas is approaching, they decorate the house with lights and the family sets off to get a Christmas tree. There the young Jewish girl my character would have an encounter with a German or Nazi soldier, or perhaps someone else. They could be caught in the trap, or tracking them. This can also be paired with Inglorious Basterds characters. Character Biography Real Hebrew Name Dara Stolarz Fake Christian More German Name Giselle Kroll Age 16-19 years old Country of Origin Poland Personality DaraGiselle is an extremely gentle character. She is kind-hearted, very sweet, and believes in treating everyone with respect despite their often undeserving characters. She is fairly quiet, and keeps mostly to herself, particularly with her loud family. She doesn't like to express her ideas, or what's on her mind, as she is often ridiculed for her sayings of peace and sympathy towards German soldiers and Nazi members. She is very intellectual, and is constantly reading. She has gone over the Torah many times, due to her teachings, but has a fascination with the bible, and has read it numerous times especially since she is pretending to be Christian now, with her family. Although very young, she is wise beyond her years and is often referred to as an old soul. She writes in her diary multiple times a day to which she pours out her heart and thoughts. INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS INSPIRED The OCs listed below can ALSO be paired with an OC - they are not limited to Inglourious Basters, they are simply inspired by the film. 7 The Ratskeller Barmaid 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. A drunken German soldier takes a particular liking to Christa, and oversteps his welcome by sexually harassing her and trying to grab her ass. 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. If, like in the film, the tavern scene turns to a shooting, then perhaps they are the sole survivors. This roleplay will take place with Lt. Archie Hicox The Brit . OR can be switched with Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz The Nazi Killer - who'd also be with Bridget and Lt. Hicox at the tavern. Also open to pairing with an OC not related to Inglourious Basterds. Character Biography Real Name Arianne Bellerose Fake Name Christa Age 18-25 years old Country of Origin Unknown Personality Arianne is a Jewish young woman who's actually from France. Her family was massacred at the hands of Hans Landa . Having been part of a decently wealthy and prestigious family, she is fluent in German, having learned it extensively in school. 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. 7 The Lone Soldier Izolda is the sole Jewish survivor of her family and community to have escaped a Jewish round-up in her town. She has wondered 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. Adela 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. This roleplay would either be with Donny Donowitz The Bear Jew . OR with Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz The Nazi Killer . In Hugo's case, perhaps he'd be the one who caught her creeping up in the woods. He'd stop her perhaps go to kill her before realizing she is not a threat. Or, even, when she makes an effort to stop Donny, perhaps Hugo would intervene. Again, her character can be paired with an OC not related to Inglourious Basterds. Character Biography Real Name Izolda Izbicka Nick Name Hellfire Age 18-23 years old Country of Origin Poland Personality Izolda is a disturbed young woman. 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 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. 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.
