Character Information Sheet


NS Nation Name: Byrdeland
Character Name: Patrick (Pat) Collins
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 34
Character Height: 6'1"
Character Weight: 211 lbs.
Character Position/Role/Job: Governor of Michigan
Appearance: (Photo preferred, not required)
Image
Character State of Origin: Ontario, Canada
Character State of Residence: Michigan
Character Party Affiliation: Libertarian Republican
Main Strengths: Pat has a gift for words and speeches, often riling up attendees at his rallies and invoking passionate responses from those who listen to him, whether for him or against him. He is also very wealthy, which is an aide to him campaign-wide as well as making him appealing to GOP voters.
Main Weaknesses:
In the other hand, Pat can be very vain and blunt, calling reporters idiots or getting into arguments with crowd members. As such some moderates find him unappealing. He is also very wealthy, which beckons disdain from some farther left voters.
Biography: (Minimum 2-3 paragraphs)
Patrick Collins was born in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada on December 2nd, 1986 to a man from Toronto and a woman from Port Huron. His early life was middle class, growing up in the Sarnia suburbs like an average child. He got great grades in school and had several hobbies. His parents were Republicans and exposed to their political beliefs rather young. When he was 18, Pat got a scholarship to the University of Michigan for a degree in business administration, which he accepted. Around the time he turned 23 he graduated with a Master's degree in business administration and an Associate's in political science.

After he left college, Pat became one of the founding members of an up-and-coming real estate company in Flint. He used his degree to grow the business and bought out the whole company over the course of a couple months and became CEO. It was renamed Collins Ventures and soon grew to be a million-dollar real estate chain. By 2008, Pat's company was at the bottom of the Fortune 500 list. His net worth in 2014 was 3.7 million dollars and growing.

2014 was the first year Pat ran for governor. With no prior political experience, he ran under the Libertarian Party for Michigan Governor. The initial polls actual showed Pat coming out ahead over the Democratic candidate Mark Schauer due to his aggressive campaign and current governor Rick Snyder unpopularity, but he dropped out of the race shortly after said polls were released. After his drop-out, Pat became active in the political world, publicly declaring himself a Republican libertarian, speaking on channels such as Fox News, and donating funds to him lobbyists. He ran again in 2018, this time under the Republican Party, beating Bill Schuette in the race for GOP nominee. His charisma and appeal made him a top contender against Democratic candidate Gretchen Whitmer. This time, polls showed Pat losing in a landslide against Whitmer, but as Election Day grew near, Pat's libertarian views enticed Michiganders, and when the votes were counted, Pat made it out on top. The

Ever since then, Pat has lightened taxes on the state, loosened fun regulation by disposing entirely of several portions of the licencing process, and legalized marijuana, which was part of his libertarian campaign as well as Whitmer's Democratic one.

Not an OP but...

First off, that's probably the most sexually attractive character model so far ngl

Secondly, Michigan isn't exactly the most libertarian state.

Thirdly, Vohoffsky would like to meet with Governor Collins once he's accepted.

I wonder if Porter wins the primary, or at least does decently, there'll be economically liberal Republicans rushing in to get seats in the House and Senate.
