(ooh i have a suggestion…can we do it as historical? Like back in some time period? Idk/IDC when, but like the earliest could be WW2, or like back in the 1800s or something? Idk might be fun)

Deleted user

That sounds good to me! I kinda like ww2 stuff so that could be fun!

Deleted user

I like opposing sides. So one is a pow and the other is like a guard or a general or something. Or the other could be someone being held captive for "treason"(maybe a suspected double agent since there were spies in ww2) but they were just being framed and they totally disagree and hate each other but they're basically in it together because the people holding them captive treat the treason person like a pow and stuff. Idk

Deleted user

Great, I like it as well! So which role would work better for your chara?

@ElderGod-Icefire

Honestly…he would be best as a Britishman. Whether hes the POW or the guard is up to you, though I would prefer POW? I'm okay if you would rather be the POW though

Deleted user

Okay I can be the guard/general. I'm not the best at doing that "type" of person(if that makes any sense at all lol) so just fyi.

Deleted user

Yeah! I'll do a German guard and are you still going to start it?

Deleted user

That would be great actually. I won't be able to respond for a while though.

@ElderGod-Icefire

(alright. That's totally fine, dont worry about it)

James sat in his cell, staring up at the ceiling. He had been in here for a good two months, and he had lost weight. So much weight. God. He was just skin and bones now, it felt like. And it was so cold. It wasn't even bloody winter yet, but it was cold in the cells. He only had a scrap of a blanket, hardly anything that could keep him warm. He was shivering, jaw clenched to keep his teeth from chattering.

(Oh man I thought I responded!)
Arther sighed as he sat down at his desk. He let his head drop onto the desk. He was definitely not cut out to be a soldier and he just wanted the war to be done and over. But he had to serve his country and Hitler was doing a great of convincing the German population that he was doing the best for the country.

@ElderGod-Icefire

(oof it's fine)

James took a deep breath, coughing. The air here smelled of rot and mildew and despair. If that were possible. He had been captured two months ago, a POW and suspected spy. He didn't know how he was still alive. Bruises dotted his too thin body, marking the spots where he had been beaten into submission for saying the wrong thing, or refusing to say anything at all.

(No need to be sorry at all! And I don't think you're being rude. We, by we I mostly mean me lol, just need to get this rolling and then I'll definitely be more inclined to reply. I think I'm not replying as much because I don't really understand why people would be like people were in ww2 and I feel like I don't play characters like that very well. But I can keep doing it though. I'm busy rn but I'll try to reply in a hour-ish)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(Alright! Okay, I understand completely what you're saying. Do you need some suggestions/ideas for it? Maybe on why the Germans acted that way? I've actually done a lot of research on it, and it's because the country was essentially brainwashed. The treaty that was made at the end of WW1 crippled Germany, sinking their economy really really badly. They were desperate for someone to fix it, and so when Hitler came along, they were willing. In Europe, at the time, there was already a lot of anti-Semitism (anti Jews), and so it was easy for Hitler to slowly turn everyone against the Jewish people. It wasn't all at once, it was just slowly taking away the rights of Jewish/Non-aryans that lived in Germany, and making the "real" Germans (aryans), believe that they were superior. WW2 came about because Hitler basically goaded everyone into action, starting off WW2. The concentration camps, where they imprisoned Jews, Gays, and sometimes POWs, were slowly ramped up into the horrors that they became. They weren't even counted as real prisons by the law, which is why to this day they are known as "camps", not prisons. Idk if this actually helped or not, but I hope it did?)

Deleted user

(I actually knew most of that lol, but thank you so much anyway. As I said I'll try my best, but maybe my boi is just a more sensitive German that isn't as harsh idk.)

Arther kept his head on the desk, closing his eyes. A memory from several months earlier played in his head. He was happy helping his parents on the farm, crushing on the girl of his dreams -he thought-, and his brother would soon have him and his wife's second child. Everything was great, not minding the condition of Germany.
Arther often recalled that memory and the feeling accompanied with it. Now his brother was part of the Wehrmacht and his family were often threatened by bomb raids. And now he was stuck in Stalags dealing with the poor prisoners of war.

@ElderGod-Icefire

James closed his eyes, and started to sing. It was a Scottish song, called "Loch Lomond". "Oh you take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye, where me and my true love will never meet again, by the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond." His voice was low, and soft, but cracked a little with exhaustion and pain.
