So I’m kinda new to roleplaying on Atlas, so hopefully this is good.
Bio:
Name: William Anderson
Age: 24
Location: Waco, Texas
Party: Republican
Occupational history: 1942-1946 (Soldier)
1946-Present (Student)
Biography: The son of Scottish-Americans, Malcolm and Ruth Anderson, William was born on June 9th of 1924 in Dallas, Texas. The early years of his life were relatively mundane, he and his three siblings all enjoyed a pretty happy childhood, courtesy of their father’s stable financial situation as a well known private attorney. However, that changed during the Great Depression, when his father’s earnings dwindled and business struggled. Like most families, materials became stretched and resources were reused far more than before. However, unlike many families, the Anderson’s never truly lost their home or saw their father become unemployed. At this point, young William was a perceptive teen who both gained influences from home, and his school, where he became deeply interested in history. Tragedy struck the family twice, when his younger brother, John, died of diphtheria in 1935, and his older sister, Eliza, was murdered by her spouse just two weeks after.
In 1942, William enlisted and fought in the navy. He was one of many Americans who fought at the battle of Leyte gulf. Finally in 1946, he returned home to Helen, and was a changed man (like most people who went to war) Desiring stability in his life, William sought to follow in his father’s footsteps, and is now a student at Baylor University.
Although his father was more conservative/limited government, and a critic of FDR, William is more moderate as a result of his encounters with men from lower income backgrounds during his military career, and the time he grew up in.
William believes in moderately limited federal government, but does support policies intended to give poorer Americans a chance if they work hard. He is staunchly anti-communist, and an interventionist in global affairs. Socially, William is relatively liberal (for the times) but strongly believes such laws should be determined by the States. Due to the deaths of his siblings, William is strongly pro-science and tough-on-crime (on a local level)
Politically, he is active and volunteers when possible for the local GOP.
