I was hoping both of you could be American immigrants to Britain so I could reflect me bonnie roots. But other way around works as well, I'll just have to engage in some proper yankee slang. ;D</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, we could change things around, but as both Haibane and I have "United Kingdom" listed as our locations, it should have been fairly obvious. Now, seriously, depending on Desi, we could shift the whole thing to the UK, and just remove the reference to a new country from mine and Hai's profiles.<br/><br/>However, I have to point out something that I have discovered, and that Hai will, I'm sure, confirm, and you may even have found yourself? It is a lot easier for us to play Americans or British ex-pats in America, than it is for them to play British, or American x-pats over here. It's mostly due to the fac tha in Britain we get a lot of Am,erican television, so we can see how things are over there, but they get very litle of our TV, mostly Dr Who, Monty Python and Benny Hill, which gives a very distorted view of life in the UK.<br/><br/>Plus, without meaning to disparage anyone, - this is the truth and many Americans I've spoken to have confirmed it - an awful lot of Americans are barely aware that there is anything outside of the USA. They have very little interest in foreign affairs, they hardly ever travel, and have little to know knowledge of the rest of the world. (This is why the internet is such a good thing, it enables us to educate them!)<br/><br/>So, my point really is that, this comes down to Desirous. If he is British too, then great, move it over here, if he's Australian, Canadian, Kiwi or in fact from... well, let's face it, any country other than the USA, we could feasibly set the story in another country. but I have o say that if we have one American in the cast, it's always easier to set things in the USA.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I think that's the perfect compromise. Agreed and more agreed! ~Thumps the proverbial gavel~<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Okay.<br/><br/>@ Desi, Is the assumption that you're American correct? If not, then we can consider moving the setting. Otherwise, we leave it as is, and Laza plays an American.<br/><br/>Once we have this finalised, I'll kick things off<br/><br/>By the way, I know Hai is good with this, but are you guys okay with post headers? I'll put some code together.<br/><br/>-----------<br/><br/>Oh and I love the character, although her appearance is a lot more rebellious than her personality...?  The tattoo and orange hair are not a problem to me, I just think they are slightly at odds with her family life. On the other hand, it does work. Having that rebellious side jarring with the family life is kind-of sweet. I'm guessing her mother is one of hose women who is like "You look nice dear", when the teenager actually wants to be told "No way in hell are you going out dressed like hat" so she can start a row and have an excuse for a tantrum! Parents can be so exasperating... *giggle*
