1. Examples would be useful. Another weakness, either public, or denoting a lack of skill, would be appreciated.
2. That is quite a rapid ascendancy, from high school teacher to a role in the federal Department of Education in a handful of years. Is there any explanation here, or is she stepping down in her change?
3. Clarification: Business partner, or romantic partner?
4. Maryland lacked a voucher program to cut at this point in time.

Biography: Born to a small family in Casper, Lawrence lived in a pretty good single parent house. He was valedictorian at Natrona County High School, and graduated sum cum laude from the University of Wyoming, class of 1999.³ His first job out of college with his business degree was manager of the Casper KFC, where by making sure it was always the cleanest it could be, participating in all special events corporate organized, marketing it locally, and using a strict budget, in one year the franchise soared t number one in all of Wyoming and was even beating some Idaho and Colorado locations.⁴ However, he was not fully happy here and sent his resume to every big company he knew of that had some financial trouble. MGM found him, probably out of sheer desperation.

In 2000, he moved to California to accept a job as an budget manager at the struggling ex major, MGM.⁵ In 2005, after the Sony-led consortium bought out the studio, Lawrence was elevated to Vice President of Marketing, in witch he was very successful, but the studio continued in monetary free fall. In 2010, after MGM went bankrupt, the creditors tapped Lawrence to lead the company.⁶ In 2012, after securing a loan from Warner Bros.,⁷ MGM acquired 2 television stations in LA and Houston. These two stations buoyed the volatile film business, allowing MGM to be traded on the NYSE. MGM later added 8 more in 2016 and filed with the FCC for permission to start a small television network. After this was approved, Lawrence ordered the studio to raid ABC, CBS, and NBC for top news talent. A morning show and an weekly news magazine is expected to anchor the new network. Lawrence himself will have a role as an interviewer on MGM News Saturday, after the marketing division begged him to.

1. As TNS is tireless in nothing, we have a significant overabundance of tall, young, handsome politicians.
2. I highly doubt this will end well.
3. He graduated when he was twenty-seven years old?
4. Such a rise is a single year is excessive.
5. A man a single year out of college, with his sole experience managing a fast-food restaurant would not easily be given such a significant position in a multi-billion dollar company.
6. Galladardo just presided over the company's nosedive into bankruptcy. He seems a rather poor choice to head it.
7. Loans are not easy to come by in a company that just declared bankruptcy.

Thank you. I was desperate to get back in and figured a new network owner would work well for my style.
I need to work on this. I will fix the age, class, a ride in experience, slightly alter how he affected Metro

Troy Wilson is still present, and holds his office. Some roleplay with him would be welcome.

Short Bio (1 to 2 paragraphs):
Former Attorney General John Francis Capulet was born on July 25, 1949, to a retired Navy Commander, David Capulet, and a Boeing worker, Beatrice Walters. In his youth, Capulet was highly intelligent and very determined, learning how to read at age 3. He advanced quickly in his early youth, and quickly took an interest in law. His proficiency at very basic law at the age of 15 was due, in part, to friends of the family who were lawyers. Capulet made up his mind, deciding he wanted to be a lawyer. His mom fully supported him, but his dad wanted him to join the Navy, leading in riffs in the family.

Capulet though he could have the best of both worlds. At age 19, Capulet went to Harvard (not the law school), and got a four year degree. Upon completion, he enlisted in the Navy, and received the rank of Ensign, due to his degree. He served in the Judge Advocate General Corps for 30 years, making a name for himself prosecuting criminal cases at naval bases across the world. He began to rapidly make a name for himself, and seemed to peek as a moderately known JAG corps member. In the 1990s, he helped with the Tailhook Scandal, making a massive name for himself again, though not in a good way. Capulet was harshly criticized for his perusal of charges and punishments, despite concerns that recommended sentences were too strict. However, he proved that all press can be good press as, in 2001, he became the Judge Advocate General of the Navy, a Vice Admiral. He served in that capacity for 4 years, making his mark in pushing for more female JAGs.

After his retirement in 2005, he was immediately tapped by President Shrub to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia. Here, he cracked down on corruption, going hard against politicians who seemed to be receiving kickbacks and political favors, earning him many enemies on both sides of the aisle. He also cracked down on major organized crime rings in the D.C area who were operating on a federal level, which led to the take down of several gangs, once again making him a target. Again, his perusal of the harshest sentences possible in every situation drew ire from some politicians. This successful and robust work, however, led to his appointment as Solicitor General of the United States in 2009. In a surprising vote, Capulet passed his nomination 55-45, with 5 democratic Senators voting against due to his support for harsher sentences. Under President Winston, Capulet took on different task, representing the government before the Supreme Court. He issued several Amicus Curiae briefings during Obergefell v. Hogdes. He had one more step on his career. Attorney General. After the departure of the Attorney General in 2013, Capulet was nominate to fill the role and was confirmed, again 55-45, this time due to a party line vote. Dissenters coming from the Republican side questioned his law methods during his time as a U.S Attorney and as Judge Advocate General. In mid-2016, Attorney General Capulet resigned in protest over the President's frequent overstepping of boundaries.

Other info: Married with two kids.
