Washington 2017 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. VII

[MaxYW]

Looking at him, I highly suggest moving him to Vermont's 2018 seat.

This would mean im not yet elected, and therefore have to run a campaign soon?

[Tallahassee News Station]

Looking at him, I highly suggest moving him to Vermont's 2018 seat.

This would mean im not yet elected, and therefore have to run a campaign soon?

No, Senate seats are every 6 years, so 2018 seat=2012 seat.

It would mean that he would be up for reelection in the midterms.

Ooh i see, i am informed of when those midterms dawn in game time? And if that is acceptable then yeah, ill change his story again and have him moved to VT

Yes, of course. Midterms are still likely a ways away.

It might help to avoid do too much of musical chairs for you to describe what his political positions are on major issues first, and then we can try to find a state that would fit that.

[MaxYW]

might need to age him up a bit

Haha yea, I will age him to 41 most likely, moved at 23 in 1999. Been in the USA for 13 years by 2012, long enough to be elected senator I believe

If you want a younger character, you do have the option of making someone for the House of Representatives.

41 works as an age for them, in the Senate, you're more likely going to be looking at high-forties/fifties into sixties for age.

Is this going to once again impact my seat too greatly if i simply moved him to the house of representatives, if so i will most likely just age him slightly further.

Ageing isnt exactly a good part of my home culture if you hadnt figured it out ;P

Vermont has an at-large House seat, so it'd be similar. He'd have to win in 2016, but it's definitely possible. You can have him elected first in 2012 or 2014, whichever you want, you get some flexibility.

Yes it has, he is saying you'd have to survive the split between progressives and democrats in 2016.

[MaxYW]

Ohhh, so having hi first elected in say, 2014 would improve the chances of surviving said split?

[Dentali]

Completely unrelated but Tim Murphy is a slimeball

[Tallahassee News Station]

Yes it has, he is saying you'd have to survive the split between progressives and democrats in 2016.

Ohhh, so having hi first elected in say, 2014 would improve the chances of surviving said split?

Yep.

[Dentali]

Yep.

Got you, thanks again, time to update my character image to a slightly older dude, and move him to the house of reps, VT, being first elected in 2014.

Yep.

your guy almost sounds like a progressive

I tried to mold him pretty close ish to Sanders in terms of ideology. you know, aside the faith.

[MaxYW]

Final (possibly ) Revised version.

I still have a lot of reading to do, including upon American politics in general (not my home country), and on the RP itself, but I would like to submit my application now do my reading up simultaneously, thank you kindly

Character Information Sheet

NS Nation Name: MaxYW
Character Name: Baek Hyeon
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 41 (1st September, 1976)
Character Height: 1m 82cm (5" 11.65)
Character Weight: 54.5kg (120.1519lbs)
Character Position/Role/Job: Representative
Appearance:

Character State of Origin: Vermont
Character State of Residence: Resident for 18 years (1st September, 1999), originally born in South Korea to an American father, and Korean mother.
Character Party Affiliation: Democratic
Main Strengths:

• Charismatic - A certain charismatic charm, and friendly conversationalist tone infused with his overly optimistic demeanour makes him an immediate, charming centre of attention.
• Prepared - Keen to research, to learn, with a thirst for over planning, depth and detail, it makes him a formidable opponent in a large amount of situations.
• Ambitious - Cut throat politics do not phase his temperament, he has a goal, and his eyes fix firmly on the trophy. He is ambitious, quick to rise in the world of politics and ready to continue to do so.

Main Weaknesses:

• Retaliative - Often, situations may arise where it is necessary to retaliate, similarly as often, Baek Hyeon puts little thought into this retaliation, and may have to face the consequences of such a rush to respond.
• Inexperienced - Although quick to rise the ranks, it was purely through prime time and opportunity that he did so, prior to his election as senator, he had little to no involvement in politics and instead worked in the entertainment industry as a producer. It makes him weaker in high pressure situations, and more prone to snap.
• Mediocre Public Speaker - Although charismatic, which can get him out of some situations, his slightly below average English skills, and his flaws when it comes to public speaking, such as stuttering and Freudian slips, his public speeches can sometimes fall below par, despite his efforts in preparation.

Biography: Baek Hyeon was raised in the Gangnam district of South Korea. Renowned for its citizenship's superiority complex, his mother was a spoonfed aristocrat who fell in love with a travelling impoverished American man. Whilst their relationship was frowned upon in such a conservative state, their love affair flourished and Baek Hyeon was born to a lower middle class family, with no grandparents as they had cast out his mother, shameful of her relationship to his father.

During both kindergarten and primary education, he excelled in particular fields and flopped in others, with his English being below average, despite being a proficient linguistic in Korean, and able to write coherently in Hangul. The main area in which he excelled was performance and media, to which he was able to continue on pursuing all the way through his education in South Korea, until he finished his education at the performing arts academy in Seoul, and moved to Vermont, Burlington. He was employed by Universal Studios and would frequently travel around the country on contracts that work would place him on.

By 2011, he had been living in the country for 12 years, and after the same constant life and work, which was thoroughly enjoyable but nonetheless repetitive, Baek Hyeon was hard pressed in which aspect of the world he wished to venture into next. It was here that the potential opportunity to be elected into the countries Senate rose up, through pure chance as he walked past a couple discussing the election. He returned home, sat down, and began to research into the political system. In retrospect, it was something he had wished he had understood prior to moving to the states, so that he could have taken part in elections and been an informed citizen of the country, but that did not matter, what did matter is that an opportunity for change presented itself, and he wanted to take it.

Before running in the 2014 election, he was sure to take some time in the years previously to run some local charity work, along with his girlfriend, as well as attend educational establishments to start appealing to the youth with his ideals. His campaign was heavily reliant on social media, and used the youths influence and that of the general public to sway the vote in his favour. His charity work did not go unnoticed, and he received commendations and local media mentions for his work with the poorest in the local state. He also worked as an adviser in the Democratic Party in Vermont leading up to the election, where he gained his preliminary experience of what a life in politics would be like.

He won the election in 2014, with the majority voting for his role in the House of Representatives, and he vowed to continue to working for the state for as long as was feasibly possible, hinting almost immediately that he would be running again.

Having went to some of the best state schooling systems in the World, coupled with having being raised by a hardcore left wing father, it was no shock that he too would inherit the left wing ideals that is father so openly expressed, as well as seeing the benefits that state controlled education has in East Asia when he was growing up. Healthcare was also state controlled, as was much of public transportation, the concepts of private insurance, healthcare were relatively new to Baek Hyeon, however after conducting research and trying his own hands at how a revised healthcare system could work. he took to his campaign focusing largely on local politics and how local systems could not only be improved, but follow a standard such as that set in Maryland, and then set a revised standard for the rest of the country to one day follow suit in left wing politics and ideals.

Although the election win was sudden and the political times moved far too fast for Baek Hyeon initially, he was able to adjust over time, and continued to use his role to voice his beliefs and opinions to he government, as well as consistently promising his home state that additional work would continue to be done concerning local politics. He utilised his charismatic personality in local interviews to help secure him a second re-election in a tight 2016 race with the Progressives.

Elected in a tight vote once again 16, he remains a Representative for the state of Vermont. Challenges await him.

Was just thinking about how in this RP the GOP is actually more diverse than the Democrats...

Yang, Locklear, and Sunshine though she’s a RINO. I believe there was a male black republican as well. And isn’t Breck gay?
I can’t think of any non-white Democrats other than Smith, Huerta, and I think there might be another Hispanic governor. Maybe someone who was of Pacific Islander descent? And then there’s that new Native American guy and the Korean guy currently being apped for.

De Nieto is Hispanic, McCroskey is Asian, and I am sure there are more.
