I notice some people are basing their characters ages in 2019 (if they're Janurary to early-Feburary) or 2018 (if they're born afterwards). However, that's wrong. This roleplay starts February 4, 2017, two weeks after Inauguration Day. So, for example, Dentali's character - who was born in 1952 would be 65, not 67.

Character Name: William "Bull" Grassley
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 70
Character Height: 5" 11'
Character Weight: 202 lbs
Character Position: Secretary of Agriculture (2017-Present), Representative for Arkansas's 4th Congressional District (1987-1997), Senator for Arkansas (1997-2011), Governor of Arkansas (2011-2017)
Appearance:
Party Affiliation: Republican (1994-present), Democratic (1973-1994)

Main Strengths: Popular with farmers, extremely loyal to the President, experience as a former rancher, has common sense, skilled networker and fundraiser regarding the agricultural community.
Main Weaknesses: Lacks popularity with Democrats, stubborn, inflexible, seen by some as blunt, politically incorrect.

Biography: William Grassley was born on December 22nd 1946 at Grannis, Arkansas and was the first born of a former GI and his wife. During his younger years Grassley was known for having a stubborn personality, refusing to give ground to other kids in the neighbourhood and at school. Despite this Grassley also throughout his formative years displayed a consistent and respectful personality. Academically, Grassley struggled with his teachers giving up on him and describing him as being "dumber then a rock". After leaving school aged 16 and with few prospects, William Grassley joined the United States Army.

Despite his rather limited intelligence, Private Grassley excelled in his training and attained the highest score amongst his platoon on the rifle range as well as demonstrating considerable leadership abilities within the platoon. At the conclusion of his training Private Grassley was promoted with other selected members of his platoon to Corporal, attached to the 101st Airborne Division and sent to Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, Corporal Grassley regularly volunteered to come under the fire of the enemy in order to rescue wounded American troops and to complete objectives that were required. On May 19th 1969 during the battle of Hamburger Hill, Corporal William Grassley received a leg wound after being hit by North Vietnamese troops and was awarded the purple heart. Corporal Grassley would continue to serve in Vietnam after his recovery and was amongst the last American troops to leave in 1973

After the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam, Corporal Grassley left the United States Army and in order to purchase and settle on a ranch with his high-school sweetheart, used funding from the GI Bill in order to study Agricultural Business at Southern Arkansas University. In 1975, William Grassley graduated and after a small wedding, bought the land on which him and his newly-wed wife would build their ranch.

11 years, the cattle ranch that Grassley owned was running smoothly with a guaranteed income for him and his family, but despite this Grassley wanted to enter federal politics and fight for the Conservative values that he was raised in and defended in Vietnam and to support the farming community and was elected as the Representative of Arkansas's 4th district in 1986. Whilst in the House, Grassley was known for being a man who would refuse to give ground on issues that were important to both him and his constituents, something for which he became known affectionately as "Bull" Grassley on account of his stubbornness and his imposing figure. Despite this, there were accusations throughout his Congressional career that he regularly practiced pork-barrel spending, something which generated some controversy after Grassley responded with "I don't give a darn what those hippy freeloaders think of me, I got selected to represent my district and I do just that."

Then came the 1994 midterms and its resulting Republican revolution, after deciding that the Democratic Party weren't what it used to be, Representative William "Bull" Grassley crossed the aisle and became a registered Republican.

2 years after becoming a Republican, Representative Grassley ran for the Senate seat in Arkansas that year and after a relatively hard-fought campaign, won the election with 53% of the vote. In his time in the Senate, Grassley was seen as being a Senator who despite holding his own on there Senate Floor, always remained respectful of his opponent and was reelected in 2002 with an increased 65% of the vote.

Despite being content to finally retire from politics,, Senator Grassley was drafted as the Republican candidate for Governor of Arkansas in 2010 and after some heavy thought, decided to run and was elected with 56% of the popular vote. During his time in the Governor's mansion Grassley passed several pieces of legislation, including a law that would outlaw abortion in all circumstances if the issue were to be returned to the states as well as increasing the level of subsidies that farmers received and was promptly re-elected with 69% of voted cast in 2014.

Despite some pressure to run in the 2016 Presidential Election, Grassley refused to, feeling that he was too old to and finally felt like settling down, but then Ryan Carter entered the race and Governor Grassley got involved in the primaries with an immediate endorsement of Carter's campaign as well as gathering the support of farmers towards his campaign. Now, after being nominated as the Secretary of Agriculture Old William "Bull" Grassley just wants to get the Presidents agenda implemented and finally settle down into retirement.

Other Info: Married to his high-school sweetheart, Emily and has 1 son and 2 daughters.

Character Position: Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, Representative for Alabama's 7th Congressional District

Appearance:
(Image)

Party Affiliation: Democrat

Main Strengths: Effective legislator, popular among the Democratic base, willing to compromise

Main Weaknesses: Can be gullible, not Machiavellian, old, career politician.

Biography: Dick Howard was born in 1945 in Birmingham, Alabama. His father was a steelworker and his mother was a cook. He grew up in the segregated South, and it impacted him greatly. As a youth he was greatly involved in the Civil Rights Movement, protesting with Martin Luther King in the Birmingham campaign. While a student in high school, Howard was a youth organizer for the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. During this time Howard was convicted and sent to prison multiple times for misdemeanors related to the protests.

When he was 19, in 1964, Howard attended Williams College in Massachusetts, followed by the NYU Law School. He paid for this himself, taking on massive amounts of student debt. When he finally finished his education in 1971, he went to work for the NAACP as a lawyer in New York.

In 1978, Howard returned to Alabama to practice law in Birmingham. After working in private practice for one year, he was named as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama by the Carter administration. He held this position until his replacement in 1981. During this time he became famous for prosecuting former Klansmen and lynchers.

Howard then returned to private practice, starting a family and often serving as a pro-bono public defender. His stint as a US Attorney increased his interest in politics, and in 1987 he ran for and was elected Chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party. He held this position until 1992, when he ran for US House in Alabama's 7th District.

Howard was a popular moderate-liberal African American southern Democrat within the House. In 1996 he became Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, and held that position until 2006 when he was put in the position of Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. In 2010, he was elected as Minority Leader after the former Speaker resigned their position. He has served as minority leader since, effectively blocking the Majority and protecting the ACA and a number of other pieces of legislation.

Character Height: 5'7"
Character Weight: 132
Character Position: Press Secretary of the President of the United Stats
Appearance:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... more_2.jpg
Party Affiliation: Republican

Main Strengths: Great speaker and speech writer, does well under pressure and is fast on her feet, Charming
Main Weaknesses: Temper that occasionally gets the better of her, obscenely blunt, dishonest (which is to be expected, if the President tells her to lie, she'll do it.)

Biography: (Minimum 2-3 paragraphs)
Grew up in Texas, she comes from what one can only consider a very goal oriented and results driven household. From her Grades, to her looks, to her values, her parents beat into their child the attributes of a woman on her way to being something. She supposed her intrests in Goverment came from her Goverment teacher, and her parents had instilled within her what one could consider Conservative values. Considering her parents were generally apolitical, she was left to pick up her own belifs. And as it turns out, they lead her to the Republican party.

After skipping a grade in High School due to certain Programs, and her General outstanding grades in School, she did not get into Harvard. In fact she had to settle for Yale law school, with a minor in Mass Communications. Now one would think she was on her way to being some lawyer, but as it turns out she had found her way into helping Conservative organization Turning Point USA

Now, let's be clear. Victoria voted for Obama in 2008 because she believed he'd bring change, and unite the country. Though ever the skeptic, let's say she voted for the other guy in 2012. During those years, she got increasingly involved in politics, from helping local Texan republicans run their campaigns, to giving speechs, and working with various Politicial commentators. She's written multiple books, including some on Race and the Republican party. Being very conscious of her Race and Gender, this has given her quite the environment. Though most people wouldn't see it drawing on her any.
