Before starting with the RP idea, here are some ground rules and info about myself when it comes to RPing. Don't worry there are not too many. 😆

1) To be honest I'm not into smut RPs. However, if there is romance(I prefer MxF) in a thread that we're rping together it can have fade to black scenes between characters. Although I would prefer to focus on character development when it comes to IC relationships especially in friendship/comradeship or family bonds.

2) Adventure/action whether it be set in sci fi or fantasy are fine with me. Like in Star Wars or Dragon Age series. Also don't mind drama and comedy mixed in the stories.

3) Can't do slice of life RPs. Just not my cup of tea neither is full-scale horror stories.

4) As for my pace of posting, if it can vary from fast to slow depending on the situation in rl. If running into extended delays on my end or lost interest I'll let you know. Feel free to do the same.

5) I can write from two to a few more paragraphs. Don't worry I'm not grammar Nazi nor an elitist that demands complete perfection. Because honestly my writing style has its faults and so I have no right to judge others for it. But please no one liners. A paragraph or two would be more than acceptable.

Okay with that section out of the way let's get to the fun part.

Nineteen years has passed since Imperial Germany's victory in the Great War. Having remained neutral the United States avoided personal involvement from the global conflict. However, due to its economic ties with the Allies the country suffered financially. Despite recovering for a time during the Roaring Twenties the nation then suffers the disaster of the Great Depression. Taking advantage of the chaos and desperation all around them, radical parties and paramilitary factions swell in greater numbers than ever before. Chief among them is the fascist group known as the Grand Union Party or Iron Eagles led by their charismatic and ambitious leader Albert Thorne.

Despite making a strong showing in the 1936 presidential election Thorne loses to (Democrat-Republican) coalition candidate Marcus Reynolds. Openly disputing the election results, the Iron Eagles secretly prepares for war. By the spring of 37 them and the other factions are ready.

That's the general background of the verse I decided on. One where the United States experiences a second civil war that takes place in the late 1930s. To be honest I took some inspiration on that aspect and the Central Powers winning ww1 from the plot of the Kaiserreich mod from the Heart of Iron game series. I'm already RPing one story about this but decided to do another one or two as well. If interested here are some plot prompts for the verse we could do together.

Of course, they can be modified to be convenience if asked and discussed on PM or discord.

1) Divided States: Hammer Fall) In West Virginia there is a town called Sumter(fictional) that's been hit heavily by the Depression. Now with the rebellion in full swing Sumter stands in the way of an advancing force of Iron Eagle fascists. In this scenario we can RP as people who live there or passing through for whatever reason. Regardless the inhabitants and visitors all find themselves under siege and must do everything they can to survive. As a result a militia (made up of men and women) is formed out to defend Sumter out of sheer desperation.

2) Divided States: Battle Cry) MC and YC are members of the US marine corps that just returned to California from service in China. Soon their unit is called up and find themselves fighting against the Iron Eagle elements in Hawaii. Or you can RP someone else gets involved with the marine unit. Like for example law enforcement, national guard or civilians(man or woman with the latter).
(Think of HBO's Band of Brothers and the Pacific as a theme for this idea.)

3) Divided States: Hell's Highway) With this story we can RP new members of a criminal gang that still robbing banks and trains across mainland USA. They have been constantly hunted by law enforcement including the FBI but managed to evade them all so far. We start the characters trying to flee following a failed robbery. Soon the group will be swept up by the new civil war that breaks out. Hardships and...opportunity awaits them all.
(Red Dead Redemption 2 game and Brothers Where are Thou film are an inspiration of this possibility.)

For the record I'm more than willing to discuss different story ideas for this setting.
My apologies for not making that more clear earlier.
