Part 3 - Ethnicity and Names

Ethnicity is a kind of value. The ethnicities are non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, Asian-Pacific Islander, native American, and indeterminate.

A person has an ethnicity. The ethnicity of a person is usually indeterminate.

An ethnicity has a number called the weighting.

The weighting of non-Hispanic white is usually 71.

The weighting of non-Hispanic black is usually 13.

The weighting of Hispanic is usually 11.

The weighting of Asian-Pacific Islander is usually 4.

The weighting of native American is usually 1.

To determine the ethnicity:

if the current person is not the player and the current person is an NPC:

if the relationship of the current person is child:

now the ethnicity of the current person is the ethnicity of the player;

otherwise if the current person is blood-relation:

now (the weighting of the ethnicity of the player) is (the weighting of the ethnicity of the player + 50);

while the ethnicity of the current person is indeterminate:

repeat with temporary ethnicity running through the ethnicities:

if a random chance of (the weighting of the temporary ethnicity) in 100 succeeds:

now the ethnicity of the current person is the temporary ethnicity;

if the current person is not the player and the current person is an NPC:

if the current person is blood-relation:

now (the weighting of the ethnicity of the player) is (the weighting of the ethnicity of the player - 50).

Name is a kind of value.

To name the character:

if the current person is blood-relation and a random chance of 3 in 4 succeeds:

now the surname of the current person is entry 1 in the common surname list of the ethnicity of the current person;

let the current age group be age-0-9;

if the (age of the current person > 9) and (the age of the current person < 20):

now the current age group is age-100-109;

otherwise if the age of the current person > 109 and the age of the current person < 121:

now the current age group is age-110-120;

if the current person is male:

sort the male given name list of the current age group in random order;

now the given name of the current person is entry 1 of the male given name list of the current age group;

remove entry 1 from the male given name list of the current age group;

otherwise:

sort the female given name list of the current age group in random order;

now the given name of the current person is entry 1 of the female given name list of the current age group;

remove entry 1 from the female given name list of the current age group.
