Private Evans

I dived into the trench and landed at The captions feet. I quicklyscrambled up cocking my springfield I fired two rounds and hit two Germans.

"lots of blood you okay" Caption said.

"someone elses" I said and ducked down as motar firs landed in front of the trench.

"well sir your the capiton not me" I said sitting up against the wall of the trench. Sand flee in and knocked the cigaretee I was holding out of my hand. I quickly fired in fake anger but actually hit one of them.

"got lots of motar fire and machiene guns in the concreate bunkers plus a few snipers" James said and Matt nodded.

"good to see ya again mate" I said patting him in the back. Matt said somthing but I didn't hear it.

"okay let's move forward," he paused taking a look at the surrondings.

"double round maybe" I suggested but he shook his head.

"let's wait for the other though" Matt said.

Hope this isn't too late. Am I still allowed to join 'Cognito?

Name: Gwendolyn Baker (Call her Gwen)

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Selection: Private Infantry Soldier

Appearance: This is basically her ... well ... back home Gwen has dark, mocha brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Well, more or less tan now that she is in the war. She is a girl of average height, around five-foot-four, with a trim, yet athletic build. (I had no idea what to say...) Er, she has slight texan accent ...

Personality: Spunky. The best term to describe her. She stands up for what she believes in (because she is hard-headed and stubborn) and is determined to finish things that she's started. She tends to charge headlong into things without thinking them thoroughly through, and tends to regret such rash decisions. You can rarely catch Gwen doing anything proper - she likes to be daring ... I guess - and she tends to be bossy and force things upon people. Only because she loves them. But she seems proper enough around people she knows.

Gwen is dignified around strangers, acting like the proper lady, and reading up so that she seems knowledgable. She offers her opinion when asked. What a fake ...

History: As specified above, Gwen just wanted to join the war to make a difference. She knows the enemies must be defeated - that they are cruel. So she decided - against her parents' will, really - that she would join the war. But now that she has joined ... she has no idea if she regrets it or not ...

Strengths: She is very convincing and believable because she seems quite passionate on certain subjects. She has great reflexes, and since she acts before doing ... that could pay off in some ways ... right?

Weaknesses: She acts before doing. Her aim isn't that great. She tends to jump and worry over the slightest things. She doesn't have a great amount of stamina.

Other: When nervous, she tends to talk to herself a lot, and hold her breath. She uses the expression "bloody 'ell" a lot. (;) :P)

Sketch

Germans were charging in droves down towards them on the beach, but Sketch didn’t exactly have the time to question what had gotten into their heads to make them charge. Rather, he was more concerned with getting them back off the beach. He and Smitz fired wildly about themselves, trying to protect Anne, who seemed to have lost her gun somewhere.

“How do you shoot this thing?” Anne shouted, remedying the problem by liberating a German rifle.

Shit…she doesn’t know? Sketch thought, There are people in my goddamned squad who don’t know how to work a gun? He didn’t have to worry for much longer, though, as men on one of the supply boats started firing on the Germans behind them, covering the three of them the rest of the way to the boat.

“Private,” Anne said, saluting one of the men, “Get these men whatever they ask for. They saved me the trouble of going to hell.”

She hugged both of them, thanking them for covering her, and Sketch hugged her back, equally grateful, “Thankyou so much Anne!” He laughed. Anything he wanted…he was going to have a lot of fun today.

“Private!” He barked at the kid Anne had ordered, “I’m going to need another satchel packed with all the explosives you can fit in there, and, if you please, an M2A1-7 flamethrower.”

The kid exchanged a glance with one of his superiors, who shrugged, “You heard the lady, soldier. Whatever he wants.”

“But sir…”

“You want to deal with that bunker? Or do you want to leave it with someone qualified?”

The lieutenant levelled a look on Sketch, “Just don’t stand too close to the rest of your squad, soldier.”

Sketch saluted him with a grin, “Never do, sir. They won’t let me.”
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt. - Yossarian, Catch-22

Smitz-

I smirked at Sketch's order. Great, a flamethrower was all he needed.

"What do you need sir?" asked a private.

"Just more rounds, I'm sticking with my grease gun."

The private started walking away but then I grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, you got any rotgut in there?"

"Sorry. We don't have any."

"Blast," I muttered and shrugged it off. A good glass of whiskey would sure make me happy right now.
"Oh please don't tell me you're archaeologists."

"Do you have a problem with archaeologists?"

"I'm a time traveler. I laugh at archaeologists."

I don't know if we can... since there's already two girl characters... um... we need Incognito's opinion.

(Smitz)-

"Thanks kid," I said and, taking my rounds, loaded my gun. The bombs were going off worse than ever and I didn't hear the boots coming up behind me.

"Smitz!"

I jumped and pointed my gun around me. It was Gwen.

"***** Gwen! Don't Ever Sneak Up On Me Like That!"

"Sorry! Nice Party Huh?"

"If you can call it that!" I shouted back and fired more rounds.

"We need to get going!" Anne shouted. "Tyler wants us all back together!"

"So he's finally taking charge?" Sketch asked with a smirk. Anne rolled her eyes and started running into the flurry of mortar and bullets. Sketch and I exchanged looks before chasing after her with Gwen.

**Sorry LaReina, I meant no offense. Welcome! *gives cookie* **

I think it died. I was waiting for others to post, especially the Leiutenant. :{

:O
It did die. I believe the Leiutenant is gone. Might I suggest that any of you can use the character at this moment in time because we need the Leiutenant. ;)
Let's try to bring this back. I will make my character meet up with yours so that I can bark a couple orders. ;)

That is, after school.

Um... she's not gone. I was talking with her at school. She's still here, but it isn't just her that needs to post. If anything, the blame falls on any one of us for letting it die. She was actually waiting for someone else to post because she didn't know what to post. I'm sorry if my last post sounded like an accusation against her, but please don't blame her or take away her character.

** Oh dont worry yourself. Incog was only meaning that someone could take over her character if she didn't come back, as any of these characters. I'm sure Hiro would be happy to survive a little longer... well either way, I'm glad to hear there are still people who wish to stay in this storybook. Maybe we could PM people and see if either we can start were we left off or we could just start from a different point so there will be no huffle.

It's just hard cause there are a lot of people who are not too dedicated to storybooks and it doesnt make things very fun. **

*Actually, what I meant was simply using her character until the actual owner got back. That way the character wouldn't die on us. We can't let the Lieutenant die, now can we?

Okay, what I think is that the easiest thing to do is just restart it. That way, we can get all the characters back into motion without having to read. I hate reading stuff so excuse me. xD

This sound good to everyone?

**I agree to starting over. It would make things a lot easier. So do we put up our characters again?**
