Their was some interest in starting an new thread of this kind, so I thought I might as well start one. Thie thread is based of the original one started by PudgetSound. I give full credit to him (or her) for coming up with the idea.
For those of you who don't know the concept, we each write a short biography, uselly no more than a paragraph longm about famous people from OTL, but we imagine that they are all lving in the same Alternate World. Therefore, if someone uses a person, they can only be used once. So please make sure you've checked to see that the people you writr about haven't been taken yet, and that what you write about them fits with the "canon."
This time, instead of making up all the history as we go along, I thought it would be better if we started off with a typical ATL senario, in this case, a world were the Axis wins the Second World War. However, I'll leave it to you guys to hammer out the details. Please, do try to keep things mostly realistic, and don't write any history beyond the present of this year.
I'll start by posting some people of my own....
John S. Mccain- The Current President of the United States of America, as well as former Vice-President and Senator from Arizona. Mccain is now in his third term as President, having won the presidency back in 2000. His time in office has been marked by a slow down in tension between the USA and the GGR (AKA the Greater Germanic Reich).
Fidel Castro- Former Facist Dictator of Cuba. Castro came to power in the late 1950's, and was killed later in the Cuban-American War. Though he remains unpopular in much of the free world, in Cuba he is still treated as a hero and martyr.
Steve Carell- American actor,comedian, preformer, and most famously, the host of the Comedy Network's highest rated TV show, The Carell Report, in which Carell hosts as a spoof right-wing pundit, often taking aim at the American left-wing, as well as the GGR. he created much international attention last year, when an online petition he started to have the GGR change it's national anthem to "Springtime for Hitler" got over 50 million signatures world-wide.
