¡Viva el Zorro!: Anita Santiago
 |
| Female Zorro analogues have been around since at least 1944 |
¡Viva el Zorro! is a scenario I will be running at Chupacabracon IV over the weekend May 12th through 14th in Austin,TX, this year. It’s kind of a test run for Los Enmascarados, a proposed Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion-compatible mini-setting of masked avengers in independent Mexico before the Mexican-American War.
In ¡Viva el Zorro!, the players take on the roles of Zorro’s supporting cast from the original Johnston McCulley stories – his fiancée Lolita Pulido, his friend Don Audre Ruiz, his servant Bernardo, the reformed pirate Bardoso, the boastful Sgt. Gonzales, and others – as they organize a plan to rescue Zorro from the grasping Capitán Torello. Characters are created using the Rising Stars campaign style and the Pulp Heroes Power Level, with some interpolations from Deadlands Reloaded.
Capitán Torello accidentally blinded Anita Santiago's brother Roman when he arrested the Roman on suspicion of being Zorro. The determined young woman took over the family rancho, becoming the head of the household in an era where that was almost unheard of. Adopting men's clothes to show her independence, Anita became as much a caballero as any man.
Charisma: +2; Pace: 6; Parry: 7 (6 with lariat, 8 with rapier); Toughness: 7
