Scion of the Pilgrim Advanced Class (d20)
"We live right now in a nation whose President is the son of a President and the grandson of a Senator¸ who defeated a former Vice President¸ himself the son and grandson of Senators¸ in an election in part decided by a Supreme Court Justice appointed by the winner's father. Such a world of self-perpetuating political power is not that far off really¸ from Azzarello's vision of the thirteen families of the Trust...." - Crime writer Bill Savage¸ from his introduction to 100 Bullets Volume IV Here's the truth about America. A Pilgrim fell overboard during the Mayflower's voyage to the newly colonized land. His shipmates threw him a line and brought him back aboard. Despite his early misadventure¸ the man prospered¸ growing fat and comfortable in his new country. In time¸ the Pilgrim died of old age¸ but not before founding a quiet dynasty of power and privilege. President Roosevelt was one of the pilgrim's descendants; so was Eisenhower; so was Nelson Rockefeller¸ so are both Bushes and the whole of their corrupt pseudo-Texan clan. Here's the truth about America. America has a caste system every bit as stratified¸ codified and steel-strong as anything found in pre-colonial India. You know it when MSNBC runs a puff piece on Barak Obama's genealogy and reveals out he's distantly related to Dick Cheney. You know it when Hollywood starlets are released from jail with but a slap on the wrist. You know it every time you search the couch for pennies and dimes to fill up the tank of your eight year old Toyota. America has a caste system. You are on the bottom. If you're very lucky¸ you're one or two rungs up the ladder¸ at least near the top...of the bottom tier. The Scion of the Pilgrim is at the top. The real top of the ladder¸ higher than most Presidents ever climb. Scions are the descendants of the Pilgrim and his kind; their families have ruled America since before the Mayflower Compact was penned. No one elected these Scions; wealth and privilege and quiet authority has never needed the approval of the masses to legitimize it. Some Scions have the kind of names you'd recognize from CNN and E Entertainment; some don't¸ ruling quietly and majestically. This new Advanced Class from Otherverse Games gives you all the tools you need to run a Scion of the Pilgrim in your campaign.
