Marie again! I decided to make another character because I need a serious one to counter my not so serious one. So of course, I came up with an absurdly long character history and personality.
If you have no time to read the TLDR version, here's the basic rundown:
Christopher Kahl is 35 years old and from the outside and a teacher; dedicated and gifted and taught the third grade (8 to 9 year olds) in Town for the last 11 years. He and his wife Lacy came to the Deck after Christopher was encouraged to resign from his post at a prestigious private school due to discrimination.
He adapted well to the Deck and excelled in his profession, so much so, people consider it a shame he's not moving up in the world. However, Lacy did not like the political system of the deck and hated how she was treated because she had no intention of playing the 'game'. She eventually divorced Christopher three years ago to return home. While he is still a fantastic teacher and respected member of the community, Christopher is struggling with depression though most will not know about the depression. Only a few good friends might even guess at it. The depression is connected to stagnation within himself, his job, and his rank and guilt he has choosing his newer life over his old.
So, here's the deal. If your card is 20 or younger and went to public school in Town, you probably know about Mr. Kahl. You might even have been his student or you might have a sibling who had him for a teacher. Outside of being a good teacher, he's a fairly good boxer and jogs often. Quite a few of the high ranking families has asked him to be a private tutor and he's rejected all offers.
So, basically, what I'd really like are a few friends and a few former students. Anyone up for CR?

Sophie definitely approves of good teachers. She has fiction and nonfiction, a huge research area. She's also an archivist who trained at the Sorbonne and the Vatican. She enjoys finding just the right books for people. One of her projects has been expanding the children's section into a new area.

Excellent! He will staaaay there forever. And ever. May I ask how long she's been the librarian? Oh, and expect tons of children's book donations.
