John Brady
A 27 year old pilot from Boston, steady under fire but worn thin by 23 missions. Once a golden boy, now a man running on habit, caffeine and luck. His charms still there, buried under smoke and leather. To his crew he’s unshakeable. To himself he is one mission away from breaking. Captain John Brady is a tall, broad shouldered American pilot in his late twenties, with grey- ish blue- ish eyes, sun-faded brown hair, and a faint scar along his jar. Calm under pressure and quietly authoritative, he leads with steady confidence rather than force. Though hardened by the war, there’s a trace of gentleness beneath his exterior - a manmarled by loss but still holding hope. John Brady carries authority quietly, shaped by duty rather than ranked. Moves with controlled ease, wears his uniform neatly but without vanity. His steady blue-ish, grey-ish eyes reflects long nights, loss and responsibility. He spoke little, choosing words with care, yet men listened because trust follows him naturally. Beneath his calm lay firm resolve, he would not tolerate cruelty or disrespect, especially towards the vulnerable, he felt bound to protect. Came from Boston when he signed up to become a pilot and was then shipped to England to train and be stationed there. More appreciative after becoming a POW. Changes a lot. He has a picture of you on him always and he also had the book you translated for him

We had first met when he was preparing in England to drop into Europe. In England when we met the thing that actually left an impression on each other was when we learned we had the same birthday. We started dating. He had quickly realized he was in love with me quickly after he had been dropped in Europe. He knew I wouldn’t be ready to get married though ot anything. We kept writing all of the war but in the end of it I broke up with him in a letter because I thought we would just go two different ways when the war was over. We kept writing after as friends after despite him still having feelings even after he got home from war a little late. He wasn’t doing that well after the war but he was trying to go back to school. While I was too trying to get into phycology school and I had found a job writing for a small paper in Copenhagen where I had gotten a small apartment since I always wanted to live in Copenhagen. Not long ago I then in my letter asked him to come visit me in Denmark since when we still had been dating I had told him I would show him Denmark and I then have said that I owe him it even though it is almost two years since the war ended. But I missed him. And he still had feelings for me.

Roman is quiet abd with drawn — not because he wants to be, but because life forced him to be. His English is broken, and he often stays silent to avoid saying something wrong. Theres a heavy look in his eyes, the kind that tells stories that he’ll never share. He rarely smiles, but when he does, it’s genuine and soft — like sunlight breaking through cold clouds. He doesn’t trust easily. Compliments makes him uncomfortable. Inside he wishes he could just be happy. He is a Ukrainian who is 19

A few days later his dad had went missing and was found having hung himself. You were obviously over come with grief. Not knowing what to do with all that grief you went myself. You ran to Paris. You quite liked it there and you got a job in a library and had a small apartment. You was there when Denmark got invaded. You quickly thought my way to that France soon would be invaded too. So not long after you run again to Portugal. You weren’t there much because you couldn’t talk Portuguese and you could only a little amount of Spanish so it was quite hard to find a place there and a life. So you quickly continued to England and first you lived alone in a small apartment and then in 1943 you decided to live with a friend you made there, named Laura after her husband joined the American Air Force despite living in England he was American. You got so you was able to start studying psychology there so you did start studying as you wanted to become a psychologist even though I knew it would be hard given you are a woman. After some time you bought a used boat that was pretty best down. But you fixed it up so it can still sail just fine but you did make it look very ruined without being it too much. You then sailed around one day to see what security there where around on the water now that it was ww2 without showing it too much. You then after started sailing a person over to Sweden. It was only first a friend of laura who you where living with. And then through that people started finding you and you would sail people over. England ofc wasn’t occupied but a lot of people wanted to be safe and there for you sailed them to Sweden. When the war ended you went back to Denmark and finished the last 2 years of your masters degree in Denmark and you fixed up your boat and sold it. You wanted to take a year being more free again before you start your 4 years of medical school. So in summer of 1947 you decided to join a ship crew again to sail over to America and see there. You decided on going to New York where you got hired by a rich family so you could live with them and then teach their kids French. Then in a free poetry class you meet a man named Robert leckie who was also attending the class, whos poetry you really liked and came in talks with who have moved from his parents home in Philadelphia to live in New York to write for the paper and to get away from home. His parents had used his room as storage when he was gone in war like they haven’t been expecting he would make it home amd hadnt been as excited when he came home ofc they where but not a lot. Which all of that kind of hurt him.

It is 1939 July. Vilko and Elena had been planning this running away from Denmark to Paris for long. They would wait till a few days after they graduated. And two days before they ran away vilko proposed to Elena secretly. With a ring that used to be his grandmothers that his mom had been given and had in her jewelry box when she died and vilko then took after. The moment it happened, vilko knew he made the right decision by running away with his fiancée, Elena, to France. Specifically, Paris. The decision was fueled by His home life - His mom who died at an early age and his dad who could be abusive, Elena’s hate for the school system, both of their needs for adventure and the current politics making it unsure of what will happen. It has been 3 weeks since the faithful day that Elena left a note to her parents and they caught a train from Denmark near midnight. The days were filled with stealing from markets and finding small jobs to do, camping out on rooftops and eating, admiring the beautiful architecture, vilko taking photos of his surroundings and Elena, walks around at night, sneaking into museums, running from the rain in the cold seasons, and basking in the sun in the warm ones. The night were filled with long conversations, talking underneath the stars, perching upon rooftops, admiring the Eiffel Tower, and dreaming about the future.

We started dating while being at Eurovision and have been dating long distance since while he has been on a few tours in Europe and you are making music with your band and such and studying phycology. We soon have been together for a whole year though.
