You Are a WWII-Era Combatant Named Frodo Baggins
« on: December 20, 2011, 11:05:54 pm »

   It is the era of the Second World War. The war that would shatter the world, change history, and be be retold by countless generic FPS video games. You are a person in this era that will change the course of the war, and alter history as we know it. Will you cause America to use a nuclear weapon? Will you cause Russia to fall to the Axis? Or, (knowing how you all play this type of games) will you be beaten to death by Polish teenagers by doing the 'Hitler-Disco-Dance' in a bar? It's up to you.

First off, some questions must be answered.

What's your name?
Where are you?
What cause are you fighting for?
What type of weaponry and skills do you posses?

Well... if you think we'll be less serious...

Name: Frodo Baggins
Location: Middle Europe
Cause: The destruction of the one Axis
Weaponry/Skills: A knife and the skills to use it. If it weren't for your stealthy skills the Wehrmacht soldiers would have captured you by now.

If you want something serious you can use this.

Name: Behrendt Jensen
Location: Norway
Cause: The Norwegian Liberation Front, who are actively trying to remove the Nazi occupation of Norway.
Weaponry/Skills: Trenchgun and the guts to get close enough to use it. You've killed many soldiers while serving the Front, but it never seems to be enough.

I see what you did there.
Question to TCM: Fiction/Non-fiction?

Name: [Leaving it for others]
Location: Germany, yes Germany.
Cause: Freedom.
Weaponry: Bolt action rifle and a trenchknife, a grenade belt too.

Binoculars, a camera, a birdwatching book, and the skills to use them.

I'll pick a starting post tomorrow.

As a note, this game will be fiction, alternate history, and will have a mix of serious and silly. Probably.

(( I'll use this. Note that the in-game universe will take itself more seriously than it actually is.))


   So, let's go to our protagonist Frodo Baggins. He is quite a smallish man honestly, but his size along with his skills have deterred Axis forces from finding him. The Axis has already taken control of his home village, and he has been on the run for weeks now, at this point not even knowing what country he is in, although he is sure it is somewhere in Middle Europe.
   Day breaks and Frodo awakens in an abandoned shack, the temporary refugee he had taken the night before. He has not slept well, the distant barking of dogs or the roll of jeeps in the distance keeping him wary under the moon. Checking his surroundings, he can see a fog has settled into the countryside. He firmly grasps his only weapon, a sharp carved knife with some inscription from a dead ancient language. His only other items are the clothes on his back.

What now?

Talk to the refugee. They may know something about what's going on.

Cut the refugee's toes off and eat them.

Gotta stay healthy and well-fed.

    The dreary looking refugee looks at Frodo Baggins. " All I know is that a lot of troops are moving through here, to get to the Soviet Union. I don't suggest you let them spot you." He hands Frodo a tattered piece of paper, a Wanted sheet displaying an artists portrayal of Frodo Baggins. The refugee takes a sip of drink from his gin bottle.

   Frodo snatches the gin away before the other refugee can react, and quickly downs the entire bottle, the harsh liquor dazing him for a moment. With alchohal coarsing through his blood, he gives a drunken yell, brandishing his knife. The refugee screams in terror as Frodo rushes him and grabs his right foot. Before he can sever a toe, the hobo takes his other foot and swifty kicks Frodo in the chest, sending him backwards into the wall. As Frodo lays sprawled out on the ground, the refugee gets on his feet, holding a pipe in one of his hands.

Stab him in the foot and eat his pipe, we can use him for his nutritious toes later.
