Interesting, although I will note that Wolf also has like a kid with Eliza, although to be fair I'm pretty sure he's in college (Also he's not a player character) at this point so I can see why he wasn't included, but I just felt like making this little comment for some reason

Anyone want like, a long-ish, more substantial article written about one of their characters (in the vein of this one https://www.politico.com/interactives/2 ... ys-choice/), possibly in exchange for the same thing about one of mine?

Ill mention him as a general that defected from Richardson to Porter. Unfortunately the LA primary didnt happen before Porter dropped so no major battle there.

Yea the problem is if in ASOIAF AU Wolf had legal children then succession on the Republican side wouldn't be like this. Only way it works is if the claims the claims are disputed.

I think there is only one State in the region that I am doing that Murphy is doing significantly worse than Dayton, and there are a good number of States where he is polling stronger.

Is it too late for Grover to get onto the ballot? I see that Ohio and Winscioin already voted. Another question for that matter, if Grover was able to get his name on the ballot how would he even do that?

Sare and Dent are still doing polling. They are in charge of largely un-competitive states, and they are required to run the numbers they create past me and the other OPs.

Hey guys, just a reminder that polling, especially this far out, can be potentially wonky or outliers. Just keep that in mind.

Character Information Sheet[/align]

NS Nation Name: Louis
Character Name: Henry Mason
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 65
Character Height: 6 ft 4
Character Weight: 199 Lbs
Character Position/Role/Job: Candidate for US Representative of Utah's 4th Congressional District, Utah House Rep 2nd District (1986-Present) Utah Speaker of the House (2014-Present)
Appearance: Image
Character State of Origin: Virginia
Character State of Residence: Utah
Character Party Affiliation: Republican
Main Strengths: Has GOP Establishment Support, Excellent Campaigner, Supporter of Wolf
Main Weaknesses: Wildcard, Carpetbagger, Anger Issues
Biography: Henry was born in 1955 to Bernie and Henrietta Mason, he was the third of 4 children, his father worked at a Rice Mill and his mother stayed home. He was enrolled in a Blacks only school until the age of 14 in 1969 when he was finally put into a desegregated school in Gainesville, after many other attempts throughout the sixties.

After graduating school, Henry took interest in stage acting. Henry moved to New York, where he would try his hand at Broadway. He stuck around for a year or two but had no real successes. He went to college there for Law, during his time in college, he met a woman, Talia, who would soon become his wife. After they were married, they moved to Talia's home state of Utah. During the move, a mover had accidentally dropped a vase down the stairs almost hitting Talia, Henry grabbed him by his throat and threw him out of the house. The moving company filed a lawsuit, and Henry won due to lack of evidence as his wife committed perjury on the stand. He went into debt for the first few years of his time in Utah due to the costs of the lawyer, before finding work as a Lawyer himself.

Talia's father was a state representative and encouraged Henry to use his charismatic nature and approach in the world of politics. Henry was reluctant, but ran for his state House of Representatives and won with relatively small margins in 1986, but it was enough to get him into the State House. He won the Utah House of Representatives Seat for District 2. He was very passionate at getting the various governors work done, so passionate in fact, he would resort to threatening other members of the House. Soon, he became popular in state politics working with the Republican Governors of his time. He is an acclaimed supporter of Gov. Abernathy, and has worked directly with the man many times. In 2014, Henry mason was elected as the Speaker of the House in the Utah State Legislature, and has kept that postition until now.

Now, he has decided to run for US Representative of the 4th Congressional District.

Other Info: He has 3 children, he is still married to Talia Monroe, he has spells of anger, and may have anger issues. He has been a practicing mormon since he moved with his wifes family in Utah.

He supports Wolf but doesn't go out of his way to make it known.

Alright what we are going to do is allow you have this character with the following conditions

1) If there are any racially questionable posts this character will be taken away
2) Thanks to his anger management issues he will have to be former speaker, resigning after an incident where he laid hands on another lawmaker in an argument
