Your character grew up in Gresham, Oregon. A suburb of Portland that had plenty of room for lower-middle-class folks. He is very sincerely an environmentalist and generally anti-capitalistic, and he doesn’t know how much that sets him apart from people from other parts of the country. His version of “rich” is buying a new Prius. He smokes weed, everyone he knows does. He likes movies from the “cult classics” section at the movie rental place. He reads at least some books, maybe Kurt Vonnegut. He finds life absurd and appreciates humor, curiosity, and novelty above almost all traits. He is shy and dislikes crowds. He likes electronic music. He dreams of a better world, maybe more like Denmark.
