PERSONALITY
HISTORY
RP EXAMPLE(( I’m copy-pasting this sample post from a historical RP I’m part of as Estonia. Hopefully that will be good enough. ))
July 29, 1944. Vaivara Sinimäed, Estonia.
The sound of gunfire and nearly been constant for the past few days alongside the shells from the Soviet artillery that exploded all too near. Eduard was sitting in front of the radio as he attempted to re-establish contact with the frontline. They had been fighting the Soviets for over four days. How many Russians were there?! The battle was becoming a complete slaughter, but the Estonian infantrymen were exhausted and the communication lines were extremely fragile. However, after a few minutes, he finally got into contact with one of the frontline radioman. Estonia’s hands were shaking terribly due to the horrible and constant noises and all the stress it gave him.
“This is Ööbik-4 to Command! Ööbik-4 to Command!” the Estonian heard from the radio. He sighed of relief.
“This is command. What’s your status, Ööbik-4?” he spoke through the radio.
“We have at least a few battalions that are pinning us down alongside a few tanks. Requesting artillery support at the coordina-” the radioman replied, only to be interrupted by static as he, once again, lost contact. Eduard now held his head in his shaking hands. Damn it, he needed those coordinates! He took a few deep breaths as he attempted to calm down to think properly despite the sounds of war around him. After a brief moment, he stood up, grabbed his rifle, ran out of his command post, and jumped into the trench, running as fast as he could towards the frontline.
Estonia ran as fast as he could; only stopping to fire a few rounds at the Soviets. As he ran, he could see how exhausted his men were. Despite being worn out as they continued to fight impossible odds, he could see how determined they were as they fiercely fought back. They weren’t going to let the Russians back in Estonia anytime soon. He couldn’t help but feel so proud that his men were fighting so hard in order to protect him, their country. When he finally arrived at Ööbik-4’s position, he was glad to see that the men there were still fighting and that they hadn’t been overrun. Then, he saw the radioman, fighting alongside his comrades with only his sidearm as his radio had been disabled by a Russian round. As he approached him, the soldier quickly noticed him.
“Kolonel von Bock! Forgive me, my radio was destroyed and I wanted to help defend.” the radioman said as he continued to fire his pistol towards the invaders.
Estonia shook his head, patting the soldier on his shoulder. “It’s fine. Give me the coordinates and I’ll send them to the artillery.”
The radioman nodded, pulling out a piece of paper from one of his uniform’s many pockets and handed it to Eduard, who quickly stuffed it in his pocket. “Thank you, Kolonel!” he said.
Eduard nodded. “Hold the line, everyone! We can kick the Russians out of our lands!” he ordered before running into the trench again on his way back to the command post. Now, all he could do is pray for that artillery support…
PHRASE Steve loves pancakes, or something.
