The Past Of Our Characters

[PFCSNAFU]

DISCLAIMER: What is written is based off of what we know, some is speculation, some VERY probable speculation. This is to help us connect a story to the soldiers of misfortune.

TANK DEMPSEY

Tank Dempsey, born to kill, a natural soldier. A native of the United States, he was destined for combat and slaughter. Due to his lust for the ladies, he had a child, but it is unknown if the mother was his wife. He and his son had a relationship like no other, but then, the war came around. Tank answered his natural calling and joined the “best of the best”. In 1942 Tank Dempsey enlisted in the United States Marine Corp and was put in the 1st Marine Division. Put at the rank of either Private First Class or Lance Corporal, he was eager to serve his country in the years to come.

Tank’s first step into hell was a small spit of islands known as the Solomon islands, the 1st Marine Division was tasked with taking Guadalcanal, a small part of the solomons. Here, dempsey would use his talent to slay japanese troops by the dozens. most likely using the b.a.r (Browning Automatic Rifle) he showed heroism and valor, thus earning himself the Congressional Medal of Honor. Having won the nation’s highest military decoration, he was immediately sent back to the states and was used as a celebrity to gain war bonds to help the war effort. Tank Dempsey, a born killer, did not enjoy this, so he demanded a transfer back into combat. After a year of bond driving, he was able to pull some strings in order to return to service. In 1942, having realized his true combat skills, he was chosen for a pre invasion unit for the upcoming assault of the island of Peleliu. The history books say this never happened, and that the operation doesn’t exist. What Tank was doing on the Island of Peleliu must have been important because military accounts have no record of his special unit and their actions on Peleliu. Promoted to Sergeant and made squad leader of his unit. Armed to the teeth Tank Dempsey was ready to raise hell. During their attack, they were compromised, captured, and interrogated. Being kept in bamboo cages submerged in malaria infested waters, Tank Dempsey had to escape and put revenge on his captors. Using His Medal Of Honor and the bobby pin on it, he managed to gnaw his way out of the cage, and kill his captors. Tank Dempsey was loose. After weeks of wandering the Island and killing more of the Japanese troops, he encountered a friendly unit of his former pals, the 1st Marine Division. Having been saved by his unit, he refused a ride to the Aid Station and even a ticket home, he stayed on the island for the remaining weeks of the battle. On November 27th, Peleliu was taken by the US. Tank Dempsey’s unit was preparing for yet another attack on a new island, Okinowa. Tank Dempsey on the otherhand was preparing for something even more important. Chosen by President Truman and the OSS, he was pulled out of active duty and trained for a special operation, not in Japan, but in Nazi Germany. He returned home for debriefing with the POW medal, Medal of Honor, WW2 Victory medal, Asiatic campaign Medal, and the American Campaign medal.

Peter Mccain, an American member of Group 935, and a double agent working at the Wittenau Sanatorium in Berlin was compromised. Tank Dempsey and 3 other Marines under his command were sent to recover him. Armed with an M1 Garand rifle, 7 extra clips in a bandolier, 2 MK2 Fragmentation Grenades, and a Ka-Bar Knife, His team was ready for their inevitable doom. On September 10, 1945, Tank’s unit breached the compound and discovered it was empty, searching for Peter, they discovered he was already gone, and also discovered a deadly secret. They sanatorium was filled with zombies. Fighting for their lives, the marines couldn’t hold on for long. Tank Dempsey, the last survivor, was low on ammo, but then, lost consciousness. Awoken in a room, he came eye to eye with Doctor Edward Richtofen, a member of Group 935. After being tested on by Richtofen and Ludwig Maxis, head of Group 935, Dempsey’s memory was erased by Richtofen. Edward then used Tank and 2 other test subjects to carry out his plans.

NIKOLAI BELINSKI

Nikolai Belinski, a tale of sorrow and hatred. Born and raised on a pig farm in Poland, his father never really loved Nikolai. Nikolai’s sister was the one who was truly loved and favored over the 2 children. Over the years of his childhood, Nikolai grew a strong hatred for his loved sister. As a teenager, Nikolai became fascinated with political science and took interest in joining the ranks of the Communist Party. In the 1930s, Nikolai ran away from his home to pursue a life of politics.

Having had watched certain politicians as a teen,observing how they worked, Nikolai used a tactic he thought would be the easiest to become a high ranking political figure. He started out by marrying women connected to the Communist Party. Moving up the ranks quickly, Nikolai did face some obstacles with most of his wives, so those wives he killed, and simply remarried. Murdering any wife or politician that stood in his way, Nikolai gained a reputation. These wives however, didn’t give Nikolai all good things though. With one having had terrible cooking skills and another giving Nikolai Syphilis. One of Nikolai’s wives however became pregnant and had a baby girl. Nikolai took responsibility for the child. Joseph Stalin soon heard of Nikolai’s slaughter tales and his rise to power. Having feared that he would be next, Stalin devised a plan to get rid of the high ranking figure. Having had 9 wives and come considerably close to Stalin's seat of power, Nikolai's political life was over.

As soon as Germany declared war on Russia In 1941, Nikolai was sent to the front lines to defend the Motherland from the fascist Reich. On November 17, Nikolai was placed in the 5th Army and sent to defend the legendary city of Moscow from the incoming Germans. Armed with a PPSH-41 and fueled by anger Nikolai proved his fighting skills by slaying Germans by the dozens. In 1942 his unit was then merged with the 16th Army in attacking Istra. In 1943 Nikolai’s unit became involved in many offensive operations around Belorussia, East Prussia, and Poland. During Nikolai’s combat experience however, he picked up a massive drinking habit due to the fact he was thrown out of life into combat and betrayed by his country. Using an old drawstring backpack he found on a dead comrade, he was able to keep vodka with him for a majority of his combat life. He inscribed, Nikolai’s Vodka on the bag and threatened to kill any man who touched it. In August of 1945, Nikolai and his unit were transferred to Asia, for the attack on Manchuria. It is here where Nikolai’s life would change forever. Fighting in urban environments, Nikolai’s squad was ambushed and slaughtered. Nikolai survived, only to be captured by incoming Imperial troops. While awaiting in his cell, a Japanese Captain by the name of Takeo Masaki transferred him out of the POW camp and put him under his command.

Takeo took Nikolai to a compound somewhere in New Guinea. There, they met Edward Richtofen, a member of Group 935. Takeo and Nikolai became test subjects to the doctor. Nikolai, having had gained an addiction to alcohol, had to have a special serum injected with vodka. Richtofen saw something in Nikolai, a smart mind perhaps. Richtofen saw potential in Nikolai so he kept him close. They were then joined with another American test subject named Tank Dempsey. The 3 were used as puppets for Richtofens grand scheme.

TAKEO MASAKI

In 1180, the Gempei War erupted in Japan. Samurai soldiers came to and fought for their lands. This is the start of the Masaki legacy. Takeo’s childhood was full of wealth and prosperity. Growing up in Japan, he was made to train in the ways of the Samurai at an early age. Eager to learn from his father, he trained in the ways of the saber, the mind, and the soul. Mistakes however brought him punishment from his father, only to help him further learn so he would never forget. A happy energetic child, Takeo loved to play in the streets with his friends. They would sword fight, play games, and even cut the tails off kittens. Showing a love in poetry, he had a legacy to fulfill so at age 16, Takeo was accepted into the Japanese Army Academy. He learned quickly and showed talent and skill in military tactics and bloodlust. Graduating from both the Senior and Junior Schools in the Academy Takeo brought his legacy honor and triumph. During a celebration, Takeo and some friends had some drinks to celebrate. Takeo, having a weak stomach, grew sick from too many drinks. As a punishment from his father, he was made to tattoo the Japanese proverb “Life is light when compared to honor” in his eyelids, so he shall never forget his place in the family.

In 1939, Takeo took the opportunity to fight for his honor. Sent to the Soviet Far East and China, Takeo showed great skill in cutting clean through his enemy’s bones. After 3 years of fighting British, Americans, Chinese, and Russian troops in Eastern Asia, Takeo was sent to Guadalcanal in 1942. Being promoted to Captain, Takeo was tasked with attacking Henderson Field, an American Air Base. Takeo, armed with his trusty Type 100 Submachine Gun and his men with fixed bayonets, they charged into the base. Unsuccessful in their attack, losing about half their strength. Then in 1944, takeo was sent to Saipan to fend off the US Marines invading the island. Slaying hundreds of men with his type 92 LMG, he quickly ran out of ammo. Protecting his position with his katana and Nambu Pistol, he was forced to retreat due to overwhelming numbers of attacking Marines. Having seen his potential, Takeo was sent back to Japan to meet the Emperor. After their meeting Takeo was pulled aside to meet a German doctor by the name of Richtofen. They spoke about war and blood, a common love between the two. Then, the subject of aiding the doctor in his research came up. Takeo was tasked with finding a test subject for his experiment. Preferably someone from the Allies. In July of 1945, Takeo was sent to Manchuria to prepare for the Russian invasion. With Richtofen’s task in mind, Takeo set up an ambush in a small roadside neighborhood. The Russians commenced their attack in August. With an incoming unit of Russian troops, Takeo’s men were prepared to kill. Walking right in their trap, Takeo’s men slaughtered the Russians. Having only 1 survivor, a plump drunk Russian by the name of Nikolai. Takeo deemed him a fit subject for Richtofen. Takeo then took him to New Guinea, where Richtofen’s compound was. Little did Takeo know, Richtofen was going to use Takeo also as a test subject. Betrayed by his handler, Takeo formed a deep grudge against Richtofen and vowed revenge. Only to lose his memory due to Richtofen’s tests. Now a pawn in Richtofen’s plans, the future is a mystery for Takeo Masaki.

EDWARD RICHTOFEN

“Cavities again Edward? My my, time for more fillings. Soon your teeth will resemble the mines of the Gold Rush!” As a child, Edward had a keen attraction to pain. His father was a very kind and gentle man. His mother on the other hand died during WW1 due to illness. Perhaps it’s why he enjoys paint. Maybe it was his way of dealing with the loss of his mother. His way of telling himself it’s alright. In his childhood he would love to visit the dentist, feared by kids, loved by Edward. He loved the drill and the pain of it in his mouth. The torture to many. As a teen he would excel in science, learning new ways to torture using science and technology. Earning a Science Doctrine and Ph.D, he earned the title of Doctor. His talent in science caught the attention of the Illuminati. Edward joined in his late teens.

In 1921 he joined the Nazi Party to use the opportunity to test his methods and love of torture to convince weary people to join the Party, or stay out of the way. Given the rank of Captain due to his education, he was in charge of a company of Brown Shirts. The protective service to Hitler during his rallies. Torturing those who attempted to crash the rallies gave the Nazi Party a reputation for a brute force of evil. In 1930 now at the rank of Colonel, Edward was put in the Wehrmacht, now in charge of a regiment of soldiers. In 1935, noticed by the High Command, he was promoted to Major General, then transferred to Group 935, a scientific organization made to “Improve the Human Condition”. Edward’s bright mind in science landed him a job as Assistant to the Head of Group 935, Doctor Ludwig Maxis. Working on technology not to be seen for hundreds of years, such as teleportation and alien weapons. Mainly using the newly found element 115, they created weapons such as the Porters X2 Ray Gun and the Scavenger. In need of test subjects for these new discoveries, Edward was given the task of extracting humans for the job. Gaining a reputation in torture and experimentation, Edward gained the nickname, “The Butcher”. Constantly made to carry out the tasks of Maxis, Edward had little time to work on personal ideas.

Having watched the horrid tests with the teleporter and the recreation of dead humans, Edward wanted to dig deeper in the field of teleportation and theories and legends of zombies. In 1939, while testing with Dr. Schuster, by using a walnut, they successfully teleported it from the unit to the reciever. Maxis was unfortunately not impressed. Edward, distraught, sought to continue work on the device. On January 4th, 1940, the first human subject was used for the Matter Transference Prototype. Edward as the subject was then teleported to a cave like room with no gravity. FIlled with alien technology, possibly in the future, Edward was fascinated, but a peculiar object caught his attention. A massive black pyramid. Upon touching it, he was electrocuted. Seconds later, he was teleported again to a jungle, a Utopia thought to have been lost. On January 24, 1940, Edward returned, with work to do. In 1942, they were able to teleport men and workers to the cave, which turned out to be the moon. They built a base there and named it Griffin Station. Edward presented the Black Pyramid discovering it was an Ancient Vril Device. During his presentation he received applause and praise, but only to hear voices in his head. While reporting to the Hitler at the Eagles Nest in Berlin, Edward contacted Griffin Station to discover that death fuels the Black Pyramid. Having sent over a shipment of civilians, they were slaughtered, therefore fueling the pyramid. Preparing his plan to control the newly made army of the undead, Edward trapped Maxis and his daughter in a Teleporter. The daughter was then teleported to Griffin Station and trapped herself in the Pyramid. Saving Maxis from Aether, Edward then got rid of him, but his last words to Samantha, his daughter were, “Kill them all”. Now in control of the zombies, Samantha raised hell on Edward.

Needing a way to get her out and get himself in the pyramid, Edward started assembling a team. In 1944 he went to his allies, Japan and tasked a Captain by the name of Takeo Masak to bring back another subject. He then established a base in New Guinea to continue work on the zombies and also to construct a weapon he had in mind for years, the Wunderwaffe DG-2. Testing on Japanese soldiers, the weapon proved successful. Using a fallen meteor of 115, he was able to continue testing. In 1945 Takeo returned with a Russian named Nikolai. Planning on using both men, he knocked them unconscious and commenced Maxis’ Super Soldier Program he had planned before he died. In September, 935’s base in Wittenau was breached by American Marines, Edward flew down to capture one alive. He captured Tank Dempsey, now completing his group, Edward was prepared to complete his plan. After he touched the Pyramid however, he felt himself slowing fading into madness and begun hearing voices. Beware of the Doc they said. Beware of the Doc.
