Meet Baldur.

He is a character from an independent roleplay I´m doing with DatNachtmaehre . He´s one of the lead characters in the story – along with mine, it seems – and is played by her.

She had asked me for a long time to draw him, but I had been hesitating because of his role in the story and because I have a clear vision of him in my mind and was afraid to screw him up.

Our roleplay is set in Germany during World War II. Baldur comes from an aristocratic family – his full name and title is actually Baldur Theobald Alexander Friedrich Gotthold Graf von Greifenstolz, Freiherr von Wittgenstein zu Wolfenbach ( ) , which means he´s Count of Greifenstolz (meaning “Gryphon´s Pride”; the gryphon figures in their family coat of arms) and Baron of Wittgenstein.

His passions are literature, music (if I recall right; he does have some Glenn Miller records at home), hunting and his private Doberman breed.

He is in his early to mid thirties, unmarried, but has an adopted son, Tristan.

Born and raised in East Prussia, he was educated in the spirit of chivalry. Now, under the Nazi regime, he acquired the rank of an SS-commander in Berlin.

But never judge a book by its cover. Secretly, Baldur is part of the Resistance against the Nazis, and he gathers a group of young intelligent men – mostly other noblemen and students, but also a few from lower social classes – around him in order to find a solution against the Nazi regime. That´s why he likes to refer to himself and the boys around him as “white wolves”.

Although he also has his own plans in mind, which cause a lot of trouble for one of the lads around him (my character), even if he thinks his plans are for the best of whole society.

Even if Baldur might seem like one of the bad guys at first, he´s really one of the good ones. He´s real fun to play with and can be really sweet if he wishes – you should see him handle his adopted son!

And he´s just too cute when he´s confused. And my character manages to confuse him rather often.

Your roleplays seem to Be SO COOL. Really, I'm jealous - I wish I would have long meaningful RPGs like that. He seems like an awesome character. i like his looks - make him look interesting - with the long hair added his soft-like features doesn't make him look too manly, but his body makes up for it. iI like his clothing & the matching decor makes him look rather wealthy. I really love it. I haven't actually seen you draw dogs like that I think. Very well done. I''m not a dog person, but that dog looks nice & cute *reads description* Ahhh... you traced it! You cheater! Meh....still looks very nice.

Meh, I can´t draw dogs at all. They end up looking like stretched potatoes on legs if I try. I prefer cats anyways - except for Shetland Sheepdogs, they´re too adorable!

Well. he is a rather wealthy person, so I thought rich furniture would fit.

I´d invite you to take part in it, but we rp in German...

I'm impressed ^^ The details and color are both wonderful as always. I really like the idea too It kind of reminds me of Operation Valkyrie. Very well done to you and :devdatnatchtmaehre:

I'm inspired now :3 but I can't really find many people who would roleplay this type of story with me People are so sensitive these days.
I've had a general idea for a character but sadly I never seem to get around to it.

SweetLittleVampire In reply to WinterVodka-Stables [2013-05-11 19:23:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! :3

It is a bit like Operation Vakyrie, just not that drastic.
Let´s say it is set up in the same spirit, though Baldur knows that assassination attacks often ends in disasters, and he doesn´t want to put his guys in too big danger, so he´s seeking other ways to end that war.

I would invite you to rp with us, but we´re rping in German only, and as we´re both fluent in it, it might be difficult for you to follow.

Und als Ava fürs Forum?

Ich bin verliebt in diesen Blick. Kennst ja das Foto, von dem ich dir gesagt hab "So stell ich mir Baldur vor". Der kuckt nicht so. Wie hab ich das gemacht? XD

Was er dem Betrachter wohl sagen will?

Vielleicht "Join the right side we have dobermann pinscher puppies.". xD

Keine Ahnung wie du es gemacht hast. Auf jedenfall kannst du jetzt offiziell Fandart zum Rollenspiel machen. xD

Die Idee mit dem Ava find ich gut. Auch wenn ich den anderen voll mag. Mach mir einen Ava draus.

SweetLittleVampire In reply to Scutterland [2013-05-11 11:31:39 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you!

Hah, yeah he usually wears it in a less messy braid or in a ponytail, but as he´s in a casual moment here I´ve opted for a less strict one. Could have drawn him with his hair opened as well, but I have to admit that I was too lazy for that. Decided to put more work in his handsome face.

Yeah, I wanted to make it look like one of those portraits you sometimes see of aristocrats, though I should have included his adopted son for the real family portrait look. At least there´s one of his doggies.

He has that mischievous look on his face, doesn´t he? The good guy who´s trying to destroy the bad guys by playing one of them. He´s got courage; I wouldn´t have the guts to do something so brave but dangerous.

SweetLittleVampire In reply to TiBun [2013-05-11 03:33:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh it is. :3

I was hesiting at first when she came up with the idea of setting a roleplay during WWII and playing a young student joining the Nazis...I mean, I love basically everybody, so I do not share or support any antisemitic believes or tendencies. Then she explained that this was just the cover-up for them building the resistance against the regime, and I was like: "Aaaah, NOW I got it. Let´s try!" XD

It is actually great fun, and you´ll need to do quite a bit of historical rsearch. Plus, you really have to pay attention what you´re saying depending on which character you´re talking to in order not to reveal your true intentions and motivations.

TiBun In reply to SweetLittleVampire [2013-05-11 03:40:38 +0000 UTC]

hehe yeah, I know. I did a similar type RP a few years ago before I got into all my Kuro RPing. So much research. I mean, I still research currently, but not as much as some of my past RPs I had done.

Though I never did a WWII RP

SweetLittleVampire In reply to TiBun [2013-05-11 03:47:18 +0000 UTC]

I know rather much about WWII. Living in a country neighbouring Germany, plus having been occupied during the war...there´s no way of escaping it, at least not at school. XD
We learn so much about it that it sometimes becomes annoying, really. I know that it´s important, but treating the same subject from the end of elementary school until high school graduation? Every single year? No, thank you.

TiBun In reply to SweetLittleVampire [2013-05-11 03:58:48 +0000 UTC]

My grandfather (Dad's side) was Full German. so I know a lot about WWII too. and my other grandfather loves WWII facts. he could open a library with all his stuff! XD I myself found it enjoyable to learn about (Which can sound horrible if you look at it the wrong way, but yeah...) It was MUCH more interesting than American History. Seriously. it was even a required class in College. America is so self-centered we don't learn about world history unless we sign up special for those classes. All we get otherwise is America's view on the rest of World history. "Oh, this war happened, but none of that is important until we were attacked and joined the war. we are perfect and only do good. never mind these facts taht make us look bad. we shall deny it happened." Baaah! I hated it.

SweetLittleVampire In reply to TiBun [2013-05-11 04:04:35 +0000 UTC]

I heard a lot about that. I took a class this year calle "American Studies", which dealt witn American literature, but also with stereotypes we have towards the US and vice versa. Our teaching aid Justin comes from New Jersey, and he confirmed what you just said.

It works the other way around too - we don´t learn much about American history, but out of different motives. XD
Think about how old the USA are, and how old Europe is. We have way more historical facts to fill our school years with. I tell you, the Romans ruined my three first hig school years. XD

TiBun In reply to SweetLittleVampire [2013-05-11 04:08:34 +0000 UTC]

yeah we learn a little about Europe but mostly around the time America was discovered. (Imagine that) Nothing else. It was SOOOO nice taking different History classes in College. No mention of America at all unless it was "And they discovered America and did stuff, but thats not important so lets move on" and I almost did a happy dance in my seat! haha

SweetLittleVampire In reply to TiBun [2013-05-11 04:15:52 +0000 UTC]

Not to mention that the American continent got discovered more or less by accident by the Vikings centuries before Columbus did.

Nothing against America, though. There are some places I´d love to visit.

TiBun In reply to SweetLittleVampire [2013-05-11 04:30:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know. (I'm also descendant of the vikings which I think is cool) But America gives no credit to the Vikings for that. It's all Columbus. He's seen as a hero over here and its taught that he landed in the New York area when he discovered us. Not true, as I learned in my college history class... along with what a horrible person Columbus really was we are taught he was this free-thinking guy who risked his life for finding a new rout to India. they leave out the fact taht he was responsible for many deaths and thought he was the voice of God or something like that, and was a wanted man a few times...
