NS House of Cards - Character RP [OOC/Open/NEW]

[Bujahla]

Buj, Hannover had reserved the Speaker position, and it expired before he posted his app, but he posted about fifteen minutes after the reservation expired.

I'm confused as to who is speaker now.

Hannover never finished his app. The person in the Roster (forgot name) is it.

Alrighty, thank you for clarification.

We should make "America the Beautiful," the National Anthem. I think I have a bill I can propose now!

Pfft, who needs history when you are Michele Bachmann? I got more cards than I count.

"Santa just is white..."

[Liecthenbourg]

I'm back.
Do I need to respond to anything in the Senate, I've got some maps to make for other RPs and it'd be good to know.

[Waztaskio]

If I was in the Senate, I would debate all those points in red ink. But sadly-..I'm just the FBI director.

[Hobbesistan]

I see we have a chairman of the joint chiefs.

[Waztaskio]

I love how the House has alot more members both ICLY and OOCLY, but the Senate seems the most active.

[Liecthenbourg]

That post was made under the assumption the bits in red were Senator Brent speaking. If not, I'll just do a quick edit.

[Kraciva]

Oi, Congressmen, with all respect, get your asses in gear and start posting. You can have a check in but damn, the Senate has more action than us. Also, could the OP please emphasize certain roles that are needed. The House needs more Republicans and Minority Leadership.

[Utopian Islands]

Since the Governors won't be doing much until the Presidential Elections, and the House needs more Republicans, I'll take on another character.

AARON STARR - REPUBLICAN

Account Name: Utopian Islands
Occupation: Former personal trainer & fitness model, congressman
Party Position(s): Member

Positions in Government: Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on House Administration

Constituency: 49th District, California
Political Ideology: Paleoconservative
Age: 33
State of Birth: California
Education: University of San Francisco, B.A. in Economics
Family:
Live-in girlfriend: Jen Ambrose
Mother: Mia Starr
Father: Brock Starr
Brother: Derek Starr
Background: Aaron Starr was born on May 28th, 1981. His father, Brock Starr, was the lead singer of 80s one-hit wonder band Metal Tongue. Since Brock was on the road so often, Aaron was raised almost single-handedly by his mother Mia. The family was well-off, but Aaron wanted even more. He began working at age 12, doing accounting work for a gravel pit. He invested his earnings in the stock market, earning a small fortune. In high school, Starr began fitness modelling to earn extra cash. During college, he was a serial entrepreneur involved in real estate investing, personal training, and dancing at gay bars. After graduating, he used his earnings to open up his own gym with his brother Derek.

Starr ran for State Representative in 2004 after selling his gym for a handsome profit. In a traditionally Republican district, he defeated a Conservative Democrat incumbent by a 20% margin. After earning rave reviews from his constituents, Starr ran for the US House of Representatives. During his first year in Congress, he passed more legislation (and more earmarks) than any other Republican in the house. Ever since Starr was elected, there have been rumors about his sexuality. Starr has dismissed these rumors as "fan fiction".
Politician Base: Loosely based on Aaron Schock
Support Base: Conservatives/libertarians
Weakness/flaw:
- Despite his voting record against LGBT community, he is actually a closeted bisexual
- Has multiple STDs
- Frequents gay bars
- Uses steroids
- Pays off media to not publish photos of him at gay bars
Likes: women, men, low taxes, deregulation, being flamboyant
Dislikes: liberalism, socialism, Islam
Any Questions from the Public to be answered? Um...nothing about his sexuality.

I'll make another member of the House (this one being a Rep).

[Waztaskio]

I'll see if Buj would allow that. So hold off for a moment.

Didn't he ask for people to make second characters to balance things out?

Jajajajajajaja, 15 posts compared to 63 in the Senate. Tsk tsk tsk.

[Waztaskio]

I just want to say, since I had to write the whole thing in a hurry, I meant over the financing that it would not go anywhere over 10%. So it could be as low as 0.1%, for what I'm asking. Really hope a Congressmen notices that...

[Waztaskio]

And as for two characters, you can have two so long as its of the different house and they can be dropped if they have conflicting interests. According to Buj.

[Bujahla]

I'll see if Buj would allow that. So hold off for a moment.

Didn't he ask for people to make second characters to balance things out?

Yes. You can have a second character so as they are of a different party and you don't show conflicting interest.

[Corenea]

But they do have to be of different houses?

I was going to be the Speaker but it seems Buj believes there is no other life but here in NS.

But, yay!
