Washington 2017 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. VII

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

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.

And there was the guy whose character model was Michael Jordan, but I forgot which party he was in.

Republicans do not wish to talk about Quay Manuel.

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

And here I am thinking that De Nieto was Italian and McCroskey was Irish. Stereotyping gets us nowhere haha.

Conti is gay, Dems have a ton more women then republicans, and the Johnsons should count as a race all their own

The least diverse party is probably the Progressives with the exception of Walton, Freeman, and Ella, the rest of them are straight white males.

[Vaquas]

Oddly enough my only straight white males are a basically auxillary Johnson and a Progressive.

Governor Williams thinks being gay should be a felony to be punished by 1 year in prison, and thus all gay senators should be expelled immediately!

Oddly enough my only straight white males are a basically auxillary Johnson and a Progressive.

definitely want to make a progressive based on my ex girlfriend

[Velahor]

Speaking of that, I know I’m at 4 but would another character be allowed for me?

[Dentali]

Want to make a progressive representative from the one of the following states

Rhode Island
Hawaii
Arkansas
Wyoming
Mississippi

Minnesota

Minnesota is probably the best choice out of the list. Hawaii and the Southern States' liberal districts are too minority-heavy(Progressives have made few inroads with minorities). Rhode Island's liberal seat is occupied by a Johnson. Either Mass or Minnesota would work.

Progs are better off with Asians than other minorities, but something like Mississippi is a no-go zone for them, and they don't have much traction with Hispanics either.

Er, not really. Dems have more women Govs, but the Senate has way more GOP women than Dems

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 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.

So are you saying that he went to the Progressive party for the 2016 election?

That makes sense and is good, I just wanted to make sure.

Er, not really. Dems have more women Govs, but the Senate has way more GOP women than Dems

That’s what I was thinking as well. And the house is either more for the GOP or even.

Yeah, the ratios are way higher too. An actual majority of our active GOP Senators are women compared to only one Democrat. For Governors though the GOP has a lot of them, and they're almost all men, while the Dems only have a few but they're mostly women.

I think he is talking about a fusion ballot with the Progressives? That makes the most sense.

I think Walton said something about refusing those? I think he could win re-election as a Progressive possibly more easily than as a Dem (as an incumbent)

He can go win both primaries, when did Walton say that?

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Or maybe he is talking about facing off against a Progressive? That part is kinda vague.

[Tallahassee News Station]

I think Walton said something about refusing those? I think he could win re-election as a Progressive possibly more easily than as a Dem (as an incumbent)

He can go win both primaries, when did Walton say that?

If I knew, I wouldn't'a had the question mark, now would I?

Winning both primaries isn't likely. Progs'll see it as a Democrat just trying to treat them as a faction and Dems could take it as a betrayal. More the first bit than the second. Winning on a solo ticket's going to be a better shot than on a fusion.
