Characters of the Kaiserriech (Very WIP)

Colonel Erick Von Rommel of the 7th Panzer Division

Occupation: Colonel of the Heer

Date of birth: 7/9/1992 (26)

Personality: Sarcastic, overly eccentric yet not taking nobody's nonsense, Erik possesses an exceptionally sharp, quick wit and even quicker tongue, accompanied by a slightly offensive sense of humor. He uses his joyful, drinking personality, and charisma to mask a silent plotting PTSD infested mind. He is extremely loyal to the fatherland to the point of being a nationalist and ready to die for it at any moment.

Brief History: Born to the famous Rommel family in Hamburg he was expected to live up to his grandfather's, the desert fox himself, legacy and therefore always found himself under his grandfather's shadow. Desperate to make a man of himself, he joined a group of teenage nationalists called the "Nationalist Socialist Party of Hamburg" being one of their leading members after two years of climbing the ranks. The party engaged in community members making speeches telling Germans to be proud of themselves and even helped in the downtown retirement house. However, in 3/10/2008 (Age 16), discovered that the party had been engaging in violent actions against blacks in order to receive votes of the mayorship of the town. Rommel was expecting to become the figurehead and mayor. Disgusted, he reported their actions to the police and placed a listening bug in the main meeting room, Mrs. Gillermens basement, in order to assist in the investigation. On 6/12/2008 Rommel called a meeting for all members of the party and notified the police when they had all gathered. He locked all the doors of the house and then walked onto the porch and kneeled with his hands behind his head as the wail of police sirens turned the corner.

Due to his actions in assisting the police in their investigation and being the one that reported the illegal actions of the party the presiding judge sealed Erik's involvement in the investigation and the party. Only sentencing him to a week of community service under the cover of driving drunk. He would become somewhat of a recluse being unable to trust anyone but himself and his mother. He was eventually called to service as he came to the age of 19. During boot camp, he was silent and reserved.
