Stefan would've been a Malcom X back in the day. Not sure what that equates to nowadays, but I'm sure he's a far-left of the separatist persuasion.
I was thinking of posting a table of Tellius characters and their political persuasions, but I guess you've gone and cracked the subject for me so maybe I shouldn't. :P But just so everyone else knows what we talked about: Shinon is an "instinctive" libertarian who doesn't vote and a questionable influence on Rolf; Oscar is secretly super invested in welfare and quietly votes democrat; Titania is an 80s feminist and a democrat and Mist takes after her. Greil and Ike are the family-values brand of Republican. Soren is a pragmatic Republican who's worked his way up to a nice six-figure salary and would rather keep it than help out strangers.
Boyd is the kind of Republican who'd wave around a rifle while screaming at the kids to get off his lawn. And badmouth the press for trying to steal his guns. Gatrie votes however the girl he's dating votes, if that girl is politically interested at all.
Micaiah is a lawyer who works pro bono, a very moderate liberal, votes Democrat, and I love her. Meanwhile Sothe is frustrated she doesn't rebel against society more actively. (He has not-entirely-thoughtful communist leanings.)
But anyway.
Tellius probably offers the widest range of slots to be adequately filled in an AU-- Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Other.
I'm pretty sure this is a direct result of Tellius also being one of the most open games in terms of class. The Kaga era protagonists were nearly all nobility, with your occasional village saint and thief straight out of prison. Elibe and Magvel still had basically every ruler in the land duking it out on the battlefield. It's Tellius where you get a lot of characters with more humble origins.
