A lot of people who fit that sort of description are positively awful, though I'm not saying that applies to this person, I thought it might be you or a friend. He reminds me of those awful uni Conservative club types who go rowing and debate euthanasia.

I'm going to ignore his interests and his drug use for this and say he's a fairly standard Democrat, his interest in history and politics doesn't make him that ideological as applies to many of these people even if they are wealthy. Though he could be a Made in Chelsea type Republican (excuse the reference, I don't know any equiv US shows).

Again, this is based off a real person:

Gender: Male
Age: 70
Race/Ethnicity: White, Irish
Religion: Goes to a Catholic Church, is not a Catholic
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: Married
Education: Highly skilled manual worker training qualifications
Current Location: Nassau Co., NY
Hometown: Nassau Co., NY
Interests: Transportation, old buildings, American heritage, travel, baseball.
Other: Despite his manual worker job he eventually earned enough to go travelling round the world. His wife is Asian.

Fairly standard Long Island Republican who resents taxes, illegal immigrants, and crime while being strongly patriotic. Indifferent on a few social issues such as abortion and moderate on unions as well as some social insurance programs like Social Security or Medicare due to his blue-collar background. Somewhat prejudiced against blacks, Latinos, and especially Muslims due to 9/11. Was born to a family of working-class Irish-American Democrats but has generally voted Republican for national elections for most of his life with a Perot vote in 1992 being a notable exception. He sometimes votes for Democrats at the state and local levels such as Chuck Schumer or Mario Cuomo. Was a strong Trump supporter from the primaries onwards though he doesn't subscribe to election fraud conspiracy theories. Has met Peter King several times and even contributed money to NORAID during the 1980s.

Reusing this person mostly to see if someone can actually guess which literary character he is based off of.


Gender: Male
Age: 7576
Race: White (English)
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Residence/Hometown: London, UK
Religion: Agnostic (Culturally Anglican)
Relationship Status: Married (previously married and divorced another woman), no children
Profession: Retired (previously worked for the Times of London’s Fact-Checking Department , then for Oxford University Press on dictionaries)
Education: Bachelor and Master’s in English Literature
Income: 35,000 pounds a year
Interests: Collecting antiques, writing, philology, literature, politics, chess, calisthenics, gardening, outings to the countryside
Other: -Used to be a somewhat heavy drinker in middle age, especially fond of gin though he eventually kicked the habit and only drinks socially now
-His second wife is considerably younger, who he met at his Times job
-Has some (understated) misogynistic tendencies



Sounds like someone from Downton Abbey. Guessing he's a Tory Voter.

The last character sounds like someone who sympathized with Republicans while growing up because of the family environment, but has probably stopped doing so. I would say he has a fairly liberal worldview but is not particularly political and voted Democrats out of a dislike of Trump and his brand of politics - if he even voted.

Next:
Gender - Male
Age - 24
Ethnicity - Pakistani
Religion - Sunni Muslim
Relationship status - Single, probably not interested in one
Hometown - Rockford, Illinois
Current location - Rockford, Illinois
Education - Undergraduate degree in meteorology
Occupation - Graduate student (still in meteorology)
Interests and hobbies - Religion, Urdu literature, ornithology
Other - Very unconcerned with pop culture. Is attracted by strong, assertive personalities.


Turned off by the Republicans due to Islamophobia and climate change denial. Supports non-establishment Democrats with "bold ideas" like Sanders or Yang.


Gender: Male
Age: 24
Race/Ethnicity: white (German and English)
Religion: Raised Evangelical, but doesn't care about religion and considers themselves Agnostic.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Marital Status: Unmarried, and doesn't plan on marrying soon.
Occupation: Recently graduated college and landed an entry level white collar job.
Income: 40K a year.
Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Current Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Interests: Watching Twitch Streamers. Playing the video game "Rocket League". Talking with people in Discord servers. Browsing Reddit and Twitter. Hiking. Biking. Jogging. Photography. Travel. Listening to music (favorite artists are Death Grips, Oliver Tree, Gorillaz, Run the Jewels, and Bring me the Horizon). Watching TV (favorite shows are The Expanse, Bobs Burgers, Attack on Titan, Saturday Night Live, South Park, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) Drinks Alcohol in moderation and smokes (legal) Marijuana in moderation.

Doesn't seem very political but I think given his age and college education, he doesn't like Trump and has mostly centre-left views (though he dislikes excessively "woke" people). Voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries because he seemed "cool" and Biden in the general.

Kind of a default Republican because of his gun shop employment and hostility to lockdowns (because they're bad for business) and voted for Trump but not particularly political.

Here's a fictional character that might be relatively easy to guess:

Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: French
Religion: Catholic (though not particularly devout for reasons explained below)
Age: 50
Marital Status: Single/Never Married
Occupation: Police Detective
Education Level: University Graduate
Hometown/Current Location: Paris, France
Interests: Has a single minded obsession with capturing a particular suspect that escaped justice years ago and is now a moderately successful politician who is also modestly wealthy. Is extremely by the books and legalistic and believes the law to be more sacred then anything including religion. The one exception to his by the books approach to policing is capturing the suspect, he is willing to break any law or cut any corner to achieve that goal. 
 



Marine Le Pen voter due to her party's "tough on crime" stance.

Gender: Female
Age: 21
Race/Ethnicity: white (German)
Religion: Attends an Assemblies of God church monthly.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Marital Status: Married to her Husband
Occupation: Cashier at a Dollar General
Income: $13000-15000 a year depending on the hours she gets. Her husband works for a landscaping business (which specializes in Stump Grinding) and makes $35000 a year.
Hometown and Current Location: Nisswa, Minnesota (rural town in central Minnesota)
Interests: Using Facebook, Smoking Cigarettes, Watching the shows Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, Listening to country music, cooking venison and grouse that her husband hunts and fish that he fishes.

Supported Obama in 2008 and 2012 (or possibly supported Romney in 2012), for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Working class white voters, and poorly educated white voters, are the most common Obama/Trump demographic.

What about this person?
Gender: Male
Age: Late 50s
Race: White
Education: Master's degree
Income: $95,000 per year
Married: No
Location: El Paso, Texas

Would they vote for Obama or Romney? Trump or Clinton? Trump or Biden?
