Editing Don Jorge Antino Martin Velasco-Cabrales (section)

== A Warning ==

"Heh, Don Jorge Antino Martin Velasco-Cabrales is a lot of fun to play, but I don't suggest him as a role model. Reckless pursuit of magnificent glory can have terrible consequences.

This took place several years ago, in the Deadlands game.

The party arrived in a town that was gradually falling under the sway of an evil priest. The DM thought that this would provide conflict and interesting roleplaying; could Don Antino, a Mexican and therefore a Catholic, attack a man of the cloth? How long would the evidence mount and the wicked man's influence spread before Don Antino admitted his preconceptions were wrong?

I helpfully pointed him to the character backstory I had given him for his notes, wherein it was mentioned that the house of Velasco-Cabrales had in fact been forced to leave Spain because they were Protestant, and as a result Don J.A.M.V.-C. was not favorably disposed towards Catholics.

At the first hint of devilry, I led the uncorrupted half of the town into battle with the false Father's flock, exhorting them to valor and slaughter. "Cut down the decadent Papists," I cried! "DEATH TO THE POPE!"

At that point, our host's wife stuck her head in from the next room, where she'd been watching the news.

"Pope John Paul just died," she said.

Years later, my friends haven't stopped giving me crap for killing the pope. Every time the new one makes a speech about how condoms are the devil's work, I get a glare.

Roleplay with caution, my friends. Roleplay with care."
