Characters
Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
An American social reformer and
feminist; she founded numerous civil societies including the American Equal
Rights Association which sought equal rights for women and African Americans. She
presented what would be the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote. She duel-wields
the mighty Sword of Justice and the Scale of Equality.
Richard Nixon (1913-1994)
"I am not a crook!" The infamous impetus for the Watergate Scandal who helped cover up a break-in to the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters. The former president also begrudgingly created the E.P.A. and formally resolved tensions with the Soviet Union via nuclear arms control agreements. His resignation is marked by a red-hot temper.
Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916)
A mysterious healer and powerful adviser to the Russian Orthodox tsar and tsarista. A lustful addict of women with a volatile temperament who survived being poisoned, shot, and bludgeoned, finally perishing in a frozen river having been weighed down. The Siberian sorcerer still wanders those very banks with his staff of power guiding him to exact his revenge.
Modifiers
The 16th Century break from the Catholic Church sparked by Martin Luther and his 95 Theses. This splintering resulted in structures that would define the continent in the modern era and includes Lutheranism, Calvinism, and the Church of England. The intellectual, political, and religious split also spurred the Counter-Reformation and inspired lasting changes worldwide.
The 19th Amendment (+4 defense, -2 W.H.)
The 19th amendment
guarantees all American women the right to vote and was finally ratified in
1920. It was considered radical when it was first proposed as legislation.
Several generations of women lobbied, marched, and protested to achieve the ratification
of this Amendment including *Susan B. Anthony.
