Use this format in the spoiler to give more information about your driver(s). Feel free to use
this link to give your driver a face.
Please note that the IARC is in its own universe. The AARO, PTRL, NORA, etc. anything else does not exist. It does not count as previous experiences or conflict with these leagues. Also, the difference between nationality and ethnicity; Nationality is the country your driver represents and Ethnicity is, y'know his actual ethnicity. USA doesn't narrow anything down in this area.
This is for character development. So please go for (realistically) unique drivers. But also, be serious. This isn't for comedic effect (at least, leave the small portion that is to me). This is almost like Formula 1 - level of prestige in this universe. So no Chip McGee's or Eun Yon Kim's. Probably butchered his name, but that's my point. Does anybody care that I misspelled his name?
