Talk:Disciplinary Action/Characters

It occurs to me that if a town of this sort has a brothel, and the way the prostitutes wind up working at the brothel is getting pregnant before they are married, there has GOT to be at least a few children in the school who are the children of prostitutes.

Fewer than you would imagine. The brothel exists and has working women there, those prostitutes know their job and take contraception. Threatening girls with a life in the brothel is just another way the town has to scare and control children. In reality most girls that turn up pregnant before marriage are either forced to get married or shipped out of town to avoid losing face. I'm sure there are some children of prostitutes in school, but probably only in very low grades, as their mothers wouldn't want them to suffer bullying over their jobs, and they actually have enough money to take them elsewhere.

An exception to this could be the Style family. I put in "Single Mother" just because I was too tired to look up a good name for a husband, but it could be that Janne is a prostitute that decided to keep her children in town. It would also tie nicely with why Beatriz hired her oldest daughter as a babysitter.

On a related note, I was discussing with Notsooldpervert the size of the school, since he was looking for images for the rest of the characters and noted that the high school classrooms had a single teacher for all subjects. I explained that indeed the school is quite small, and getting smaller. That's why they had to mix kindergarten and first grade, as well as high school juniors and seniors. For years the town has been suffering from brain drain, as there are not many opportunities for young people to work. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 17:40, 19 September 2017 (CEST)

Especially since young couples who get pregnant wind up dropping out of school. It makes sense for such a repressive society to crack down on sex ed, make it more simplified so "not to give children ideas" as opposed to actually educating them. It could also be that the children of prostitutes are shunned and not allowed in the school. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2017 (CEST)

Ok, I've created characters for all the images I had. I'll ask Notsooldpervert if he can find any more images for the already done characters. For now I don't think I can create any more on my own. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 19:02, 26 September 2017 (CEST)

My computer broke. For the time being i only have a phone. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 03:27, 30 September 2017 (CEST)

Sorry to hear that, I hope you manage to get it working again soon. I've been trying to find images for some of the characters, but I'm pretty bad at it, it takes me too long to find an adequate image. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2017 (CEST)

On that note, the images Tod pulled up for Tihana's parents are not exactly what I was envisioning when I wrote them up. I had wanted the dad to basically be athletic, not stacked, and the mother somethg of a farm-girl build. Muscular, exept with a bit of flab on her rounding her off. The current images work as place-holders though, and I'm probably even worse at image search than he is. I'm just putting this here for whenever Notsooldpervert gets his computer fixed.

I'm trying to fill in on the character we already have, to flesh them out a little so they can be easier to use in the story. Most of the things I write are just the first thing that comes to my mind and not set in stone, so if anyone wants to change the personality or backstory of any characters, feel free to do so, as long as it's consistent with any use that character has in the story. This also applies to any and all images. If you find any image that fits a character better than the ones I put, feel free to replace them (I'm very bad at finding images, so I will appreciate that, really). --Tod Naturlich (talk) 01:42, 1 October 2017 (CEST)
