Heroes of History vs. The Temperance League!


1919: The 18th amendment was passed, banning the sale of alcohol in the United States.

1933: The 21st amendment is passed, repealing the 18th amendment.

2525: Man is still alive. Woman has survived. Just setting that record straight.

3141: The Temperance League clones Carry Nation and upgrades her into a hatchet-wielding, Bible-slamming, drunkard’s fate saving, rock-throwing supersoldier and sends her back in time to remove booze from history itself.

3141.3: The Booze Federation clones their own supersoldiers from great historical figures and sends them back in time with a single mission: Find Carry Nation and defeat her. Save the booze, save the world.



HEROES OF HISTORY, ASSEMBLE!




THE RULES:

You play a clone of a great historical figure, given one great upgrade. Examples of such figures: Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, George Washington, Abe Lincoln. But you’re not limited to Presidents! Ben Franklin, Davy Crockett, and Marilyn Monroe are all viable! And if they’re really famous, you can maybe use figures from other nations. I'm looking at you, Mr. Churchill. All characters must fit three requirements:
1: Is famous or well known
2: Is dead
3: If not dead, then really old

If you run out of ideas, PM me and I’ll see about giving some Wikipedia links to follow.

And remember, folks, this RP isn't about how dark and mysterious you can be(unless that's your character), how much you can brood(unless your Edgar Allen Poe) or pondering man's place in the cosmos and struggle with his own inner evil(Unless you're a philosoper).

It's about being a hero of history with an awesome power and doing things and being funny, in an action movie kind of way.

Hope this is cool.

Peace,

[Jiro Ieyoshi]

Name: Stefano Bontade

Picture: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/ba/Stefano_Bontade.jpg

Supersoldier ability: No one messes with Stefano Bontade!: Simlar to necromacer ability from the dephs of hell he summons his choice of squad of twenty men mafia armed with guns, knives, and more guns. Guns, guns, guns, and more guns you'll be staring down at barrels of AK-47, 12-gauge shotgun, glock-17, M4A1, and Tompson. Of course, his squad can still die however due to that they are "mummfied" or should I say "zombified" that they feel no pain.

Sometimes, they work well as a meat shield.

Personality: Stefano is found to be hot headed, impatient, and rutheless. As once Mafiosi leader he was involved in many mafia wars so he knows his way of killing "things". It's not easy to piss Stefano off, but if somebody does he'll make sure that they turn into swiss cheese before they can say "I like oven baked chicken!".

In a fight Stefano goes berserk and uses anything in the enviorment to kill his opponent and he'll even use a brittle stick if he has to or maybe an umbrella. There is nothing more like a good fight for Stefano.

Equipment: AK-47, 'nuff said the classic ol' weapon for making ***holes into a red swiss cheese. If he wants to go in for close combat he'll shread people with his good old infamous machete


"*****! You ain't messing with Stefano Bontae, I'm making into a swiss cheese right now!"
