Character Name: Diego de la Vega / Zorro Canon: Zorro (Disney series) Character Blurb: A classic vigilante, by day, Diego is a pacifist and utterly incompetent at combat arts, but noted as a strong advocate. By night, Zorro is the cunning fox who frees the wrongfully imprisoned, humiliate the soldiers of Spain on a regular basis, and oust the many corrupt Commandantes and Governors of Spanish California. Faction: Elysium Infiltrator,
Character AU Name: no name change, assuming his family's from a region that's been conquered relatively recently and is being forcibly integrating. Family is Gallant-rank. AU Blurb: Roughly the same plot beat, Diego is aware of the corruption in the regional ruler of his family's homeland, and knowing his Father's hotheadedness wasn't going to work, he play at being a wimpy legal scholar while secretly becoming a daring thief and vigilante that exposes, humiliates, and frightens the corrupt. The big difference is instead of one man, he has a full on spy ring of servants, low-grade government employees and soldiers that report to Zorro about things they overhear.
Preestablished CR Hooks: In canon, he just has his father, but I'm open to Diego having siblings/cousins. But more importantly - Spies! Zorro has spies among upper-case and lower-case Servants (and willing to help the ones that want to escape to do so), to try to track the machinations of the Empire. Desired CR + Hooks: Double-identity shenanigans! I want people who like Diego but detest Zorro and vice-versa. It'd be fun if there are other vigilante/spy-type characters to cooperate and clash with (or even take as a potential successor to the Zorro identity should things happen) IC Plans: Roughly, he currently thinks if he just roots out enough corrupt bureaucrats and generals that things will get better, but he'll have to learn the root of corruption runs DEEP and expand his scope. Other:Zorro the fox so cunning and free
