I love Tony Dungy but Rodney Harrison comes off as a jerk to me, he doesn't show the deserved respect to Tony when they disagree.

ALAMEDA COUNTY -- Even at the eastern edge of the Bay Area, where power lines crisscross a sprawl of nearby waterways and browning rural land, location is a hot commodity.
Spurred by California's mandate that all utilities produce 33 percent of electricity from renewable sources by 2020, solar companies hoping to harness the sun's energy have eyes on flat land just west of Mountain House near the San Joaquin County line. It is a prime location next to transmission lines and substations.
At least four applicants showed interest in that area of Alameda County last year. They proposed building solar energy facilities -- ranging from 14 to 2,000 acres -- on prime farmland, prompting members of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to ask their planners to begin work on a policy to guide development.
"It seems to be the place to be if you want to be in the solar market," said Albert Lopez, planning director for Alameda County. "It is that part of the county that is fairly sunny and hot a good chunk of the year. It is also pretty flat."
PG&E predicts that its solar production will balloon from 1 percent of its renewable sources in 2010 to 40 percent by 2020, PG&E spokeswoman Lynsey Paulo said.
County supervisors did approve two facilities in the area before the policy planning began. Together, the two projects took up about 154 acres in the area and were considered capable of producing 13 megawatts.
But it was a
The area of focus for the new policy is south of Byron Highway near Kelso and Mountain House roads and takes in about 2,000 acres of prime farmland.
After more than a year of the county's staff working with landowners, ranchers, environmentalists and solar facility developers, the policy is at least another year away.
Thursday, at a county supervisors' Transportation/Planning Committee meeting, a very rough draft was presented to committee members and Supervisors Nate Miley and Scott Haggerty. Both said the priority should be to save prime farmland and put such solar facilities on land that won't affect agriculture.
"We are trying to avoid 2,500 acres being covered up," Haggerty said at the meeting, at which he and Miley agreed more work must still be done before any amendment to the general plan begins. He said the county needs to explore ways to put more solar farms in urban areas, for instance, on rooftops.
Ranchers, farmers and environmentalists echoed similar feelings during four community meetings held since January.
Environmentalists are concerned about the loss of open space and the effect the facilities could have on the bird population, already hurt by Altamont wind farms just west of the popular solar site.
With solar panels covering so much land, ranchers and farmers fear a loss of workable acreage on which to produce food or agricultural products.
"It is interesting that when we talk about things like where to locate these (solar) facilities, where food comes from never really seems to get addressed," said Darrel Sweet, a fifth generation rancher with about 1,000 acres near Livermore and chairman of the Alameda County Agricultural Advisory Committee.
Most of the 2,000 acres attracting the attention is protected through the Williamson Act, a state law enacted in 1965 that preserves prime agricultural land and open space by offering landowners property tax relief if they leave the land as is for a minimum of 10 years.
Cool Earth Solar, the most recent and largest solar project approved by the county in the area, chose a plot of land not governed by the Williamson Act and is the process of building a 140-acre facility in two phases that will eventually produce 10 megawatts, enough energy for 7,000 homes.
"The density of existing power lines and substations (in the area) is useful because we can put the renewable power onto the grid without creating new transmission corridors," Tony Chen, director of business development for Cool Earth Solar, wrote in an email to this newspaper when the project was approved in March.
The rough draft of Alameda County's solar facilities policy presented to the Transportation and Planning Committee put a limit of 1,000 acres on a proposed solar farm area, and says the Altamont wind farm area should be off limits to solar.
Supervisor Haggerty suggested looking at land north of Livermore and east of Vasco Road, where there's little prime agricultural land, but where there are no transmission lines.
"We need sources of clean, renewable energy, and there are no qualms about that," said Michael Gatzman, a member of the county's Agricultural Advisory Committee. "But we also have to protect the integrity of the food system."

In April 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed SBX1-2 into law, requiring all utilities to produce 33 percent of electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
PG&E predicts that by 2020, 35 percent of its renewable portfolio, which includes solar, wind and other alternative forms of energy, will come from solar. In 2011, PG&E's renewable portfolio made up 19 percent of its bundled retail sales, with solar making up 1 percent of that. By 2020 its numbers will improve to 33 percent renewable, with solar making up to 35 percent of its renewable energy.
PG&E currently has 28 power purchase agreements throughout the state, and just one in Alameda County, the GreenVolts project.
Breakdown of PG&E's 2011 portfolio of renewable energy, which made up 16 percent of PG&E's total bundled retail sales:
Solar: 1 percent
Small hydro: 19 percent
Geothermal: 26 percent
Bioenergy: 23 percent
Wind: 31 percent
Projected breakdown of PG&E's 2020 portfolio of renewable energy, making up 33 percent of total bundled retail sales:
Solar: 40 percent
Small hydro: 8 percent
Geothermal: 14 percent
Bioenergy: 15 percent
Wind: 23 percent

Solving Electrostatic Discharge Design Issues with Calibre® PERC™
White Paper
With the progress of technology nodes, circuit designers are now encountering challenging circuit reliability issues that have no simple solutions. Calibre PERC delivers fast, comprehensive and accurate circuit reliability verification that catches and corrects real circuit errors before the design goes to manufacturing. Issues such as such as reduced voltage supply headroom, increased wiring parasitic resistance (Rp) and capacitance (Cp), more restrictive electromigration (EM), latch-up, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can be resolved with the Calibre® PERC™ tool and advanced Calibre platform technology, even for the largest and most complex designs.

The second goal came after Evra evaded his marker Glen Johnson and headed Van Persie's 54th-minute free-kick into the net via a deflection off fellow defender Nemanja Vidic, who was credited with the score.
Evra was a focal figure last time the teams met at Old Trafford in February 2012, when Liverpool striker Luis Suarez refused to shake his hand before the match in their first encounter following the Uruguayan's eight-match ban for racially abusing the France left-back.
The anticipated duel this time was not between these two, but Suarez and Van Persie -- the EPL's leading marksmen.
Suarez has almost singlehandedly carried Liverpool's attack this season, scoring 15 league goals, but it was his new forward partner Daniel Sturridge who reduced the deficit on his Premier League debut for the club.
The former Chelsea striker scored in the FA Cup win against Mansfield, and again impressed after coming on at halftime to replace Brazil midfielder Lucas Leiva.
The 23-year-old England international was fastest to react after captain Steven Gerrard forced a parried save from United keeper David de Gea just three minutes after Vidic's goal.
However, despite all the late pressure Liverpool could not force an equalizer and ended the match 24 points behind United in eighth place.
"We're 24 points behind United -- but we're not 24 points behind in quality," said defiant Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers. "The points difference is due to the squad -- the depth in the squads is the difference for us.
"Once we close the gap in the squad over these coming windows, I've got great faith we'll be able to challenge. I've seen enough hope in these opening months to suggest we will do that -- and today was another example of it."
Last season Manchester City overhauled an eight-point deficit to win the club's first league title in 44 years on a dramatic final day of the season, and a similar effort will again be required this time.

Well Bren..guess I'll make you jealous....today started out with 63 and ended up at 84. Very unusual temps for this time of year and of course it's making Mother Nature create all sorts of nasty stuff. Last year we had that awful ice/snow storm in Jan. and was just really cold afterwards. Now unseasonably warm. We'd made plans to go to Highlands, NC. but when the clock went off he said.."The bed sure does feel good." So back to sleep we go with clock reset. Then his phone rings (he's on call this weekend) so I go shower and he finally gets there and out and ready. We took the pups so I was gathering their stuff and he's on the phone again. We go meet one of the other somewhat new riders..late due to phone call. We pull in and back on the phone. She and I just chat while we wait! He told the guy when he got a diaghram of what he was doing and if it didn't work to call but otherwise to not call him again! No more calls for the day Cheaha Mtn State Park is about 80 miles..maybe..so it's an easy day trip so that's where we went. Stopped at a BBQ place and got carry out so we ate up on the mtn. It's the highest point in Alabama. There were lots of m/c's out and all kinds. Some were really loud, others you could barely hear. The parking at "the store" isn't the greatest so it always make me a little nervous. There's some potholes, some loose gravel, it's not level, and it's shaped pretty weird too. But you deal with it. Had sunshine most of the day and then some clouds started moving in. Told BF that it looked like rain and he said yep sure does. Well the drops started falling when we were about 4 miles from home. May sound strange but we didn't get wet but we were damp. Oh yeah, BF had his sidecar today (for the pups) so he wore his shorty helmet...may not do that again...he had a wasp visit inside it so he got a couple of stings.
BF plans to ride with the Rat Pack (Triumph group) tomorrow. He's trying to get me to go with him and ride his Triger. May go. I haven't ridden that bike yet so I may go. Will see how I feel in the morning. He did say I could ride my m/c if I wanted to. Guess he wants me to go. I'll think about it. The boys usually play a lot harder than I play! Am always afraid that I'll just be a thorn in their side.
The pollen is killing us down here..today it's over 3100. Only gonna get worse. Mainly trees and weeds right now.

Liquor Sales on the Ballot in Clyde
By: Michelle Ashworth
Updated: November 2, 2010
Callahan county has put two propositions on the ballet.
One would allow stores to sell beer to take home, the other would permit restaurants to serve mixed drinks to customers.
Reaction to the possible changes has been mixed among people in Clyde.
Some other reasons supporters hope the new laws will pass is the desire to bring money into the area.
While others who are against the idea of selling alcohol say they feel it's more of a moral issue in their town.

Post game News and Notes 4/8
- The Texas Rangers claimed right-hander Ramon Aguero off waivers from the Pirates on Friday. Aguero was designated for assignment last week in order to place right-hander Jose Veras on the 40-man roster.
Aguero did not appear in any regular season games for the Pirates. He allowed two runs on two hits over 1.2 innings with three walks and two strikeouts during spring training.
Lefty Joe Beimel (left elbow) made a rehab appearance in the High-A Bradenton Marauders game on Friday. He pitched a scoreless inning of work, allowing all groundouts.
Catcher Chris Snyder (lower back) caught the High-A Bradenton Marauders game on Friday. He went 3-for-3 with a double, home run and six RBI.
Snyder is eligible to come off the disabled list on Saturday.
- Jason Jaramillo is currently serving as the Bucs backup catcher. His fate with the ball club could be effected once Snyder is reactivated from the DL.
Jaramillo told Colin Dunlap of the Post-Gazette, "You don't wish any ill will on anyone. I hope he gets healthy, he is a big part of the club. But, at the same time, I feel like I can be a big part of the club as well."
Jaramillo is 4-for-13 in three starts this season (.308 avg) with a RBI, walk and a stolen base. He also hit the game tying run in the 6th inning of Friday's game.
- Rockies Manager Jim Tracy managed the Pirates from 2005-07. He was aware of Andrew McCutchen, who was in Triple-A by the time Tracy's tenure came to an end.
Tracy told Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, "I've never seen the guy go to first base where I didn't see a full, 100 percent effort every time he hit the ball. That's a great place to start. When he plays the game, you don't really know whether the Pirates are winning, losing or whatever. You just know that Andrew McCutchen is out there, this is how he plays, and this is how he's going to continue to play for nine innings. You've got to love that type of player."
"I was with him when he was 18 years old, walking around in our clubhouse when he wasn't allowed to have a razor. He wasn't old enough to have a razor. To see this guy grow into becoming the player he has become, he's a special kid and he's been that way since the first day I ever met him. When you sart talking about championship-caliber players, in my opinion that's the criteria that has to be fulfilled in order to become that type of guy. That's exactly who he is."

"A woman's natural beauty can be illuminated by the right piece of jewelry," says designer Jacquie Aiche, who sees jewelry as a personal, wearable art that can bring out different aspects of a woman's personality. Her own whimsical disposition and her uncommon upbringing are reflected in her jewelry: her Egyptian father and Native American mother inspired her to rework ancient designs in turquoise, fossils, and minerals. The result? Stunning, handcrafted pieces that make the wearer feel utterly unique.

I bought this ring as a Mothers Day gift, and I was disappointed for a couple of reasons. The packaging was not impressive whatsoever. The ring comes in a little plastic ziploc bag, and I was expecting something a little nicer, perhaps a cloth bag with the designers name on it. Since I was giving it as a gift, I felt it devalued the ring. Also, I knew the ring was designed to be tiny and delicate, but in person it felt flimsy and cheap. I ordered the size 6, which is a small fit, but true to size. Returned.

Taking the Spin Out of Earnings Announcements
But it doesn't mean an investor needs to be distracted by excessive 'spin' or downplaying of less favorable information that may in fact be critical to seeing the complete picture.
While the SEC filings (called 10-Qs for quarterly reports and 10-Ks for annual financial filings) are mandatory and there are specific rules about what must be reported in them, news releases are not mandated by law. In fact, companies have a great deal more flexibility about what they disclose in their earnings press releases. For this reason, investors should be cautious of earnings news releases that typically precede the financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Share this article
Consider this extreme example: Among the 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones industrial average,
- Just over one-third of the companies do not issue a balance sheet along with their income statements when they issue their earnings news releases, and
- Almost half do not issue a cash flow statement until later.

I had this idea a long time ago, but I was a bit worried about creating it. However, I thought 'why not' and so here we are, just to see what kind of people might be interested, if anyone at all! Our roots are based heavily in AG, so don't be surprised if there are similarities between this one and that.
You can find us on the RIZON IRC server, which thankfully is the same server that #BCB is on. If you're having trouble, just click the Amaya Icon to use the online client. Then, just type in "/join #ARgamesooc" and there you have it! You can ask all of your questions there. I myself would recommend a proper IRC client, such as mIRC, or using the Mibbit client.
There are three channels that we employ.
- Freeform (#RAgames): In this channel, player characters can hang around town or the agency, socializing and getting to know each other. Think of it as in-between actual quests, with no actual plot or anything of the sort. Anyone can join at any time, it's just people spending time together, maybe talking or going out for a drink! You don't need to participate in the freeform to go on quests, however.
- Quest (#RAgames2): Here quests are run. Instead of one actual GM, or game master, any of the players can take on that roll and run something themselves. It could be a one-time job where they have to escort an important dignitary or fight off bandits, or just find an old lady's prized necklace! If you enjoy writing, you could make a two or three session long little story arc, if you wish! Quests generally vary in subject, and so long as it makes sense, you can do quite a lot.
- Out Of Character (#RAgamesooc): Here one can talk about anything going on in a quest, or in freeform. Or you guys can just chat about anything, it doesn't matter! Bug someone to run a quest, tell people you are actually starting one, or just chat about your day. You should probably hang out in here to catch wind of a quest or anything interesting in the game.
So how do you join? Well, as I said, we are rooted from the AG, so their character creation rules, special moves, and quirks also apply to this game as well. The rules may be found here:
Now that that is over with, on to the setting!
The Kingdoms of Anturia and Raymoor
Founded around a thousand years ago under the reign of King Salazar II, Anturia has always been a step ahead of the other parts of the world when it comes to technology and magic. She is a wealthy and prosperous nation, and many folk flock from all over to try and bask in the reflected glow of the kingdom's big-name scientists and wizards. It could be comparable to all of the young women struggling to become actresses in Los Angeles in the forties, on the same scale with failures. Young engineers, mechanics, mages, what have you, usually try and then miss out when they try to make a name for themselves.
Other people just try to make a meager living for themselves, and in most cases the conditions in Anturia are a lot better than the slums or villages they originated from. But this kingdom is not any sort of 'promised land', or a country free from turmoil. Far from it, actually. With a large influx of money and people, there also comes corruption and lawlessness. Any land outside of the capital city of Valford falls under the jurisdiction of people put into a place of power because they managed to cut a deal with someone higher up.
Accompanying the shady figures in power are strenuous war-like tensions with neighboring and sister kingdom Raymoor. Once upon a time, both Anturia and Raymoor were a single kingdom united under a single flag. The wealth was shared, and it was good times all around. That was before a law was passed, one that gathered quite a lot of distaste down in Raymoor. Taxes on wheat and other food products took a hike, and while Raymoor's capital and otherwise fancier cities sat on piles of gold, the poor farmers in the plains to the South were left with very little.
The king at the time was a very stubborn man, and he refused to repeal the taxing. Money was needed what with the kingdom investing in colonizing a newly-discovered island to the northwest, and then spending troops and even more gold to make sure it was well defended from greedier countries. This sparked feelings of hatred and dislike for the royalty and nobility, and with the kingdom vulnerable thanks to all of the soldiers being shipped away, they struck.
The Duke of Raymoor's capital, his wife, and other high-ranking members of the nobility were killed by angry citizens, and they took over the southern part of the kingdom with the intent to secede. This left Anturia to decide between sending their already thin numbers of troops down to retake the king's land, leave the border to Ebeneos and it's warring tribes open, and suck numbers away from the still-then vulnerable colony. With growing support for these farmers and citizens rising up in his own kingdom, a treaty was negotiated wherein all of the southern lands were given to then-elected King MacDonald.
While the farmers got what they want, they cut themselves from the teat of Anturia's leaking success. Instead of focusing on technology and inventions to get money, they slowly began to outsource large cities and buildings, replacing them with farms for food. As Anturia grew and more land was consumed for housing instead of farming, they needed to turn to a nearby nation for food. Guess who got the better end of that deal?
The problem is that most of the technology used to grow, harvest, and transport crops comes from Anturia, while most of the food used to feed her citizens come from Raymoor. While this arrangement was made quite grudgingly, it has worked out in favor of both kingdoms. But the citizens view each other differently. Raymoor is considered to be a land of simpletons with no intelligence, and they view the Anturians as stuck-up snobs who believe that they know everything. Even the nobility barely get along, always arguing about territory and shipping lanes.
This has become worse with the crowning of the most recent son in the MacDonald line, a very aggressive and prone to violence king. Both sides believe that a war with the other is inevitable, and those who live in the capital will mention the Guard does not seem to be as strong in numbers as it used to be…
Other Facts
Anturnia is bordered to the West by the crystal blue waters of the Caspian Sea, named after the first explorer to sail her waters to what he deemed to be a 'New World'. He set sail not more than four months ago during Anturnia's Annual World Fair, wherein they display feats of modern technology and magic. His voyage was funded by the nobility and is apparently supposed to bring in many new resources for the kingdom. Sailors had talked amongst themselves about an apparently uninhabited land across the Sea, but it is a long and arduous journey.
To the North is the republic of Ostwyn, with her capital of Icewick. While the country itself may be freezing cold and buried in snow for the most part, the people are quite warm and accepting of strangers. The majority of citizens are lighthearted and enjoy drinking, dancing, singing, having fun. While Ostwyn and Anturnia get along relatively well, a lot of the richer folk believe their non-monarchial government is stupid and will not work out in the long run.
Then to the west is what one could call the country of Ebeneos, but it is populated mostly by tribes that war for power over one another. Descended from a fearsome band of Ebenosians that terrorized Anturnia in her early years, each leader claims to be the rightful heir of the first ruler of the land, Bao-Zhi. While their conflicts are mostly contained to their own lands, sometimes their fights end up on Anturnian soil and draw her soldiers into the battles as well.
The capital city of Valford is a large one, with state-of-the-art technology and prestigious academies located in or around the downtown area. The majority of citizens are that of the rich or upper-middle class, with the poorer inhabiting the suburban residential area or the slums on the very outskirts of town, depending on your wealth. In the more heavily-guarded part of town lies one of the very few hills that haven't been stripped down/flattened to make room for buildings, and atop it sit's the castle where the king lives. Behind the castle is the extremely busy port and recently built airport where airships (think galleons with hot air balloons) transport people around the country and the world.
In the commercial part of town one will find many different shops, selling clothes or things like appliances and furniture, gramophones, all sorts of things. At the very end of the commercial plaza, though, rests the widely-known Ringwald Agency, where problems that the kingdom's soldiers or the city's Guard cannot handle are sent. The people employed there take either these big tasks or simple problems presented to them by citizens around the world, and are then paid to take care of whatever it is they have been asked to do. It is one of the booming businesses in Aturnia, where you only need to demonstrate your ability not to be a twit, and you are more often than not accepted.
Your character will, obviously, be a part of this agency. Please keep in mind the stuff here is listed as only a basic guideline to important history. You can come up with cities or other countries by yourself, though try to keep things realistic and believable. It does not matter what your character did before coming to the agency, though once again please ensure it is realistic. If he is a mass murderer he will probably be wanted in this country and others as well.
The Agency
The agency was refurbished from an old university, and is rather large. There is an east and west wing, connected in the middle by a two-story sort of 'free room' where agents can spend the day with each other. In this large room one can find a bar, a few bookcases, sofas and chairs, a gramophone with a large collection of records, and other luxuries like a pool table. It is connected to the cafeteria where food is served, one single large room.
There is a small grassy courtyard where folk may train, be it targets and firearms or dummies for punching. The east wing holds living quarters for the agents it employs, Ringwald's office, and a collection of other offices for purposes from financing to member upkeep. The west wing holds a library, a trophy room and game room where animals or creatures that were killed are put on display, staff quarters, and the kitchen.
Magic is not a common art, nor is it a simple art. It can be learned, but it takes patience, a few years, and intelligence. You may also be lucky enough to be born with it, which makes it easier to find a wizard to take you on as an apprentice. These schools, however, are quite expensive, and the majority of poor folk most likely found some wizard to strengthen the powers in them. Magic is unwieldy and not practical, though. You are generally taught only one specific mastery in magic, say if you are a Fire Mage, you will not learn how to cast water spells or anything like that. It is difficult to learn one genre of magic by itself, but melding two together takes years and years, and usually does not pan out well.
There is also magic that involves technology, and that is called Flectomancy. These types of mages build things and then bring them to life with their powers, like automaton soldiers. The kingdom has a few of these in their employment, and metal men are not a rare sight on the battlefield. Like guns, though, they are not common either. Their deployment is only for important matters, decisive battles. Using magic that brings life to inanimate objects is more difficult that spitting fire from your palm, mind you.
As a side note, monsters do exist. Trolls, giants, ogres, 'demons' in a sense, ghosts and the undead. However these rarely come anywhere near the highly-populated towns seeing as the defenses would tear them up. They do and can prey upon humans, but in the capital city such an event is a rare one indeed.
Anturia, and to a lesser extent, the rest of the world, finds itself in the early stages of the industrial revolution. Factories have begun to outsource simple hand work in favor of assembly lines which get things built far quicker. The transition from swords and bows is no doubt happening, but outsourcing them completely won't happen for a long time. While cannons are a common sight on battleships and military airships, actual handheld firearms are less common. But they are not entirely rare, either. Skilled soldiers are entrusted with state-of-the-art rifles, which are breech-loaded. Revolvers are the common type of pistol, and are given to higher-up army officers or nobles that have enough money to buy one. They are very expensive, but they exist. Bows are considered easier to wield and cheaper, and swords are still the bread and butter of combat.
Nearly thirty years ago the first motorized vehicle was created, and that was an engine that could follow a set of tracks so long as it had fuel. Now, that concept has been expanded upon, and most of the larger cities along with Valford itself now have train stations and rail lines connecting them. A lot of money was spent placing rails that lead into Raymoor in order to transport both passengers and goods, though mostly the latter, to the needy nation of Anturia.
Horse-drawn carriage is still the cheaper method of transportation, and it is more reliable than the large iron trains that break down quite often due to poorly optimized design flaws. But they are worth their money, and famine is even less probable in Anturia thanks to the supply lines that it has with Raymoor.
Airships are a common sight now thanks to the ingenious concept of crossing magic and technology. The engines that keep them moving along with the tech that keeps the balloon inflated are attributed to the magic the pieces are imbued with. It does not take a lot of time to enchant them, and they are just as expensive as any engine to produce. Aturnia has the largest fleet of battle-ready airships of any country, along with ones that transport passengers around the country and world. It is said getting to fly on one is a beautiful experience.
Beyond weapons and vehicles, there are simple things that make house life easier or more luxurious. Records and gramophones are abundant, playing the older and soothing tunes of classical music or the newer, more swinging sounds of jazz. Refrigerators exist as well, though they are more large freezer rooms and are expensive to obtain and then maintain what with their power source also coming from magic. Simple things like electric razors and watches are abundant now, and are relatively cheap to obtain. That aside, things like electric grids and radios are a long way off, and the world is still lit with candles and oil lanterns.
Belief in a god or gods is not new or revolutionary. It has existed for quite a long time, but whether or not they exist is still up in the air. The majority of people in Aturnia believe in a single, loving God, but their religion is not the only one out there. Some people attributed the magic they are born with as a blessing by a specific god, usually one that is associated with that power in their society.
People have told stories of angels from the heavens visiting them or helping them fight, but as it stands there is no conclusive proof of a higher power. That does not matter to most, though, and they instead have great faith in the god or goddess that they believe in and pray for. You would be hard pressed to actually find an atheist. Usually they are very educated people or nobility, though with the latter it is more along the lines of a fashion trend than anything. The nobility is not new to… being strange to be different.
English is the main language here. You don't have to speak in that silly 'art thou' sort of tone, though you can have accents if you wish! British, African (yes people of other skin colors exist here too), German, whatever! Think of the countries as comparative to normal countries. Anturnia is Europe, Raymoor is America, Ostwyn is Russia and Ebeneos is Asia. Imagine the culture to be similar in such a sense as well, if it helps.
But be warned if you make a character that doesn't speak English (I don't see why you would) you probably won't get anywhere.
Attitudes toward other countries have been touched upon, but you don't have to adhere to them religiously! It is your character, after all, and if he/she is from Aturnia and likes everyone, that's perfectly fine. What should also be considered, though, is social tolerances. In most countries, women are viewed as equal to men, but in Aturnia and Raymoor a good portion of people believe women to be inferior. This comes from the early years of the country, wherein women were considered property instead of people. Conservative-valued folk still believe this to an extent.
Racism is no stranger in Aturnia either, and with all the foreigners pouring in, some white folk believe that the immigrants are stealing jobs and are going to make their lives harder. Again, it is not wrong for you to have a sexist or racist character, so hey, try it! Confrontation makes things exciting.
Clothing varies. This is a pseudo-Victorian period, but by all means you don't need to have hoopskirts or anything like that. A mixture between modern and old, if you will. A character going around with his pants sagging and a shirt that is untucked would be scorned, but a woman wearing a gown with a hoopskirt would get weird looks unless it was a formal occasion. Don't be afraid to dress your character oddly, though! If he/she is from Ebeneos, they might weird silk kimonos, perhaps! Just keep things reasonable, yes?
