Personality: Generally very straight laced and serious about most things, his biggest vice is texas holdem poker. It is only with poker that he is usually unable to control himself. His wife is well aware of his flaw but allows him times to play to get it out of his system.
Background: Carl had a predictably boring up bringing. His parents were upper middle class. They never wanted for anything but nor did they bathe in luxury. He had 2 brothers and a sister, all who also went to college and became professionals in relatively stable careers.
As he grew up and studied he took several school related and holiday trips to china where he meet his wife, who was also studying at a university over there. Although his Chinese was decent, her English was perfect.
They eventually married and moved to Ohio, close to his parents, and settled down. Although a simple life, they were both happy. They both kept fit and would run and swim and hike.
She did eventually find out about his gambling problem that he picked up in college, and they were lucky enough to find it before any damage could be done to their finances or their relationship. A compromise was put in place where he would be given a certain about of money to go and play a few times a year. Games with his friends were obviously allowed, but money was not to be exchanged.
The time had come for their biannual holiday and this year they had chosen to visit California. He would spend a day or 2 in a nearby casino and she would spend that time with some of her family, who lived in California. After a few days they would meet back up and enjoy some hiking and exploring around.
