Character Name: Sean Connoly
Nationality:
Irish
What Army will Your Character Serve Beneath?
UK or US: UK (Royal Air Force)
Character History:
- Sean Connoly, a Dubliner with a rich and influencial family, always considered himself more of an Englishman than an Irishman. He wanted to do something worthwhile, something adventurous and exciting. Although Ireland remained firmly neutral during the war, nothing stopped Sean from leaving to Britain to enrol in the Air Force. He had always loved flying, and would gaze at small biplanes soaring overhead lovingly. He trained as a fighter pilot, and eventually progressed to complete several missions, mainly in Africa where he flew his trusty Hawker Harrier. Also, excessive socialising with veteran RAF pilots has led him to adopt the traditional RAF "banter", old chap!
Military Rank:
- Flight Lieutenant
Writing Sample: Sean lay in the crater, hugging his rifle to his chest as he pressed his back firmly into the dirt. He could see the tracers of two MG 42s hissing overhead angrily, and formulated a plan in his head. He had crash-landed in enemy territory a day ago, found some German arms and had attempted to make it to the nearest resistance group. He cursed under his breath, as he heard the rustling of leaves on either side of him. The machine-gun fire had ceased, and Sean knew he had no choice but to disable the two soldiers sneaking up on him. He quickly dived into a bush and hid. He suddenly yelled, "Ich vergeb' mich! Nicht schiessen!" He could hear the frantic voice of one of the soldiers, and then footsteps coming nearer.
"Raus mit dir! Out! Out!" said the nearest soldier.
Sean just lay still, breathing lightly. He slowly turned his rifly around, and held tight onto the wooden grip. Suddenly, Sean pounced out of the bush, smacking a German soldier over the side of his head with his rifle butt, like a club. The other soldier immediately yelled and fumbled with his MP40. Sean ran at him and knocked him out cold.
Sure enough, the automatic fire commenced, as he sprinted to cover. He found an upturned cart to be the perfect candidate. He peered over his cover, and noticed that the machinegunners hadn't seen him yet. One was looking through his binoculars, as the other waited alertly at his MG42. Sean reloaded his rifle, rested it on the top of the cart. Aiming at the second machinegunner, he emptied his clip. Seeing the other sheath his binoculars and duck down, Sean also ducked and quickly reloaded his rifle. He then fired a feww bursts at the nest and ran towards it. He saw the machinegunner popping up and grabbing the machinegun. Sean grabbed his grenade, pulled the fuse and lobbed it neatly into the nest. The German soldier turned and ran out of sight.
The pilot threw himself down as the grenade detonated. He sighed. Just another encounter solved...
Scenario:You are in the middle of two German MG42's and have nothing but a grenade and bolt action rifle. There are 4 soldiers 1 in each nest and one one each side of you with MP40's. WHat would your character do? HOw would he respond?
Thanks,
