Background

He has grown up in the 70ies and 80ies Eastenders Oslo surrounded by a workingclass, whitetrash environment. Equal to many other norwegians Erlend has gone through the classjourney from workingclass to cultural academic upper middleclass during the economic oilboom of Norway during the 80ies and 90ies. This means that he worked in a chocolatefactory when he was 18 years, but that he now is thoroughly educated and works as a filmdirector. As a consequence, Erlend has 10-15 years of education more than anyone in his family that is older than him. When it comes to explaining larp to people not familiar with the concept, this teaches a few lessons, but also gives a few prejudices to other acedemically oriented people.
