The former hypothetical person has probably shifted to some mainline Protestant denomination and attends services semi-regularly but is the type of person you could talk to casually for hours and never realize is religious.



The next is a slight twist on my favourite creation from the "political views" megathread:
Gender - Female
Race - White
Ancestry - Irish and Italian
Sexual orientation - Bisexual
Age - 22
Hometown - Salem, MA
Location - Salem, MA
Relationship status - Widow
Education - Bachelor's in English Literature
Occupation - Works in the bookshop owned by her late husband's parents
Political orientation - Mostly apolitical, but has left-communitarian tendencies
Hobbies/interests - Local history, numismatics, playing cards, writing short stories
Notes - Currently she never wants to have a romantic relationship again.

My padar (pagan radar) is screaming Wicca. Probably found Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches or The White Goddess in said bookstore and got hooked on the poetic cuteness of it all.

Of course you would say that.
She was supposed to be a very devout Catholic who's been left devastated enough that she is considering making a lifelong celibacy vow. Still, interesting answer.

The Salem thing might be what got discovolante thinking pagan. It's not the sort of place one is born and raised in, then stays in as an adult, unless one is at least somewhat-more-than-ordinarily into the ~witchy vibes~.

Well, I had completely forgot about what makes Salem famous. Lol
I think originally I just picked it as some "old famous Massachusetts town not too distant from Boston" or something like that.

Your sounds pretty much agnostic or generic deist to me.


I'll keep recycling people from the "political views" thread (but don't peek at it!)
Gender - Male
Age - 37
Race - Multiracial
Ancestry - Dad is an Afro-Latino Dominican immigrant, mom is 1/2 Cherokee and 1/2 Japanese
Hometown - Los Angeles, CA
Current location - Truth or Consequences, NM
Education - Some college (Business)
Occupation - Motor lodge owner
Political views - Generic conservative/right-leaning on most issues, but not very political in the U.S. context
Other interests - Following the Albuquerque Isotopes, following Dominican politics, reading religious texts

Your guy seems Latino Evangelical/Pentecostal rather than Latino Catholic, but probably not super engaged with any church community either way.

I had originally made him Evangelical Baptist, but any kind of Evangelical could work, so correct.

Asenath's character sounds like a very lapsed Christian or just an atheist.

Next person:
Gender - Female
Age - 17
Race - White
Hometown - Pisa, Italy
Current location - Pisa, Italy
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Has a boyfriend
Education - Middle school graduate
Occupation - Attending a humanities high school
Political views - Mostly classical liberal. Anti-sexist but against contemporary waves of feminism. Kinda anti-semitic and in denial about it. Somewhat natalist.
Interests - Playing musical instruments, drama classes, video games, philosophy
Other - Her religious beliefs are somewhat unique, different from her parents', and even more different from her boyfriend's

This is more or less what I consider tradqueen to have been in high school, if she were Italian. I'll go with conservative Catholic whose parents are mostly lapsed.

She was my sister slightly tweaked and brought to Pisa to make her less obvious, lol.
Mom is sorta lapsed Catholic, dad is mostly practicing Catholic, and she is small-c catholic non-denominational Christian who attends two churches at the same time (now).
Her boyfriend is Muslim.

Depending on the amount, side, and relevancy of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, I would guess either Reform (or maybe Conservative?) Jew or mainline Protestant, probably Episcopalian or Lutheran. In both cases fairly practicing but not incredibly so.


Next hypothetical person:
Gender - Male
Age - 37
Race - Black
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Married with three children
Hometown - Philadelphia, PA
Location - Bethlehem, PA
Education - High school graduate
Occupation - Hardware store owner
Political views - Socially conservative Republican, but quite environmentalist and fairly non-ideological on economic matters. Holds the opinion that movements for racial justice tend to be co-opted by White troublemakers.
Interests/Characteristics - Vegetarian; abstains from alcohol and other drugs; likes to go hiking and fishing on weekends.

Black socon Republican who is vegetarian screams Seventh Day Adventist to me. Probably slightly more theologically liberal than average for the denomination given his commitment to environmental and racial justice.

Bingo! Exactly what I was thinking.

I would never have suspected that your liberal nationalist was the most famous of liberal nationalists... I would never have guessed that Michael Lind lives in Austin.

The previous character is interesting. I would guess practicing member of some relatively progressive congregation* affiliated with the Reformed Church in America, but not necessarily immersed in theology.

*not sure if it's the right word


Another character from the "political views" megathread:
Gender - Female
Age - 48
Race (Ethnicity) - White (Romanian)
Hometown - Brooklyn but moved to Lebanon, PA at a young age
Current residence - Sayre, PA
Sexual orientation - Asexual but doesn't identify as such
Relationship status - Single
Education - Bachelor's in Literature at a small community college
Occupation - Unemployed; former teacher but resigned after winning a monstrous jackpot at the Powerball lottery
Political orientation - Rather apolitical and low-info, but deeply hates anyone who sounds elitist or condescending, especially if they're associated with New York City
Interests - Travelling around the USA especially to small towns; reading and writing
Notes - Cares a lot about her Romanian heritage
