nola_joshlymanPrevious Name: Josh Lyman
Myth: The West Wing
Past Life Information: A Fulbright scholar from Westport Connecticut, Josh studied at Harvard university and Yale Law School. His father was a lawyer; his sister never get to grow up, and the fire that killed her shaped Josh enormously. (Commitment issues? He is the poster boy for them). Josh became a career politician, serving as Chief of Staff for a democratic congressman, floor manager for the Minority Whip, Democratic Legislative director in the House of Representatives and floor director in the Senate before joining the early Hoynes presidential campaign. He later defected to support Josiah Bartlet, working with his late father's friend Leo McGarry, and when Bartlet won the election Josh became Deputy Chief of Staff. Josh was a hard-headed and clever political beast, a formidable game-player and overly devoted public servant. He had a series of affairs with brilliant women before eventually admitting his longtime love for assistant Donna; he was shot in an assassination attempt, developing PTSD from the incident; he talked his childhood friend Sam Seaborn into serving Bartlet; he had an online fanbase he managed to mass-insult in one fell swoop; when we leave Josh's myth, he become the White House Chief of Staff for the Santos administration -- the job he always wanted to have.
Current Name: Diego Garcia
Age: 34
Occupation: High School English teacher
Personality: Diego is Aggressively Smart. He does the Times crossword puzzle in pen. With a timer. And then posts the results online in a forum of other nerds. He had a four-show run on Jeopardy and his run ended when he bombed in final Jeopardy -- on the US Constitution. He reviews books on Goodreads. He reviews restaurants on yelp -- or he did, before yelp kind of died. He tells his younger brother all the time that he needs to "go to Europe." Diego has never been to Europe. But he will go, dammit. But you know, he's not all obnoxious. Poetry can make him cry. He loves his students. He hasn't, thankfully, tried to get involved in the school board.
Background: Diego grew up in Austin, Texas with his parents, older sister, and younger brother. His mother was a librarian and his father was an English teacher, so the house was filled with books and stories, and Diego soaked them all up from the jump. He came to New Orleans for a teaching gig and has fallen in love with it, which took him by surprise -- he didn't think New Orleans would be his vibe, but he feels invigorated here, especially in this new stage of his life. You see, Diego just broke up with his girlfriend of 10 years -- they were really just friends at that point -- and now he doesn't really know how to "get back out there."
Current Status: Unaware
