ALL IS FAIR
So after spamming Mary with my crack!brain the other day and then discussing stories etcetera, I figured I should make a post that explains what All Is Far actually is, just in case anyone actually wants this to refer to, or if they're interested. (Which they're not. Oh well.)
Originally, it worked more like a novel that could be a film, but now I've planned it slightly (only slightly, mind you!), it seems that it would probably work better as a television drama. Which I am totally fine with. Maybe. /doesn't really do tv

The initial plots are all tied to each character - they sort of all start off with their own storyline I guess, so I'll introduce them, first.
Blake, Logan & Richard Edgeworth
Matthew Edgeworth was born into a middle-class family, but had no immediate wealth. His parents were strict and made him work for everything he got. Teenagers everywhere would cry out against treatment such as this, but it gave Matthew a strong sense of value and hard work. Originally, this hard work manifested itself in his desire for a medical career, however further study showed his tendency to rank physical sciences and technologies above anything biological. A man - well, boy - of great determination, he knew that to truly make the most of his upbringing, he wanted to be wealthy. Eventually, it all came down to him founding a engineering company creating medical devices that rapidly expanded and grew.
He married when he was 51, to a woman of only 25. They remained married until his death at 72, and she followed at the young age of 50 due to breast cancer. The couple had three sons, Blake (20 at the time of his father's death), Logan (12 at that time) and Richard (only 9 years when he lost his father). What their father did in his personal life before marrying their mother, the boys do not know, nor do they wish to know for as far as they are concerned, the match was definitely one of love.
Upon his father's death, Blake received majority ownership of the company, his brothers also getting high shares. The money was put into trust for his younger brothers as they were not of a suitable age to enjoy it appropriately. Once available to them, Logan used the money to start his own business that he'd been dreaming of, and Richard took the route of doing nothing else and just making the most of it. Eventually, he decided he would get bored, so invested in properties to generate a small amount of income.
Simple attributes~
Blake: Determined, powerful, charming, intelligent, strong.
Logan: Creative, optimistic, entertaining, smart, considerate.
Richard: Perspicacious, witty, childlike, relaxed, sly.
Blake works as CEO to his father's company. He is currently "unattached", though is often seen 'attached' to many women. Teases his brother Logan even as an adult but values family above all else.
Logan is an architect though only chooses special clients. He has always been creative and is talented with art and music. Recently split with a fairly long-term partner, however Blake tells him it's been coming for a long time.
Richard's work is looking after his cars and caring for his Sims. His girlfriend, Chantelle, is a nurse and spends most nights at the Edgeworth house, though she doesn't officially live there. They have been together since school and gone through a lot as a couple.
Angela Crimson
Angela is a creative and light-hearted young woman, however her brain is often scatty and she can rely quite heavily on those around her to give her some sort of structure. When her mother is diagnosed with leukaemia, her whole world comes crashing down around her. Her father left them both when she was very young - he found someone with less 'demands', so her mum is basically all she's ever had. Other than her fiance, her mum was the only person to try and keep her in line and organise her life - Angela doesn't do very well with the whole 'independence' thing. She can get over-emotional and panics very quickly, usually needing to be brought back from hysteria by one of the constants in her life. So when Angela's mother gets the awful news, she feels that she might as well drop another bombshell on her daughter at the same time, because it won't get much worse. She informs Angela that she is, in fact, adopted, something she never wanted to have to tell her. She wanted to be selfish forever and keep Angela to herself, and wouldn't dispute any of that, but knowing that the end may be soon, had been reviewing her life choices.
So, of course, Angela freaked out and only her fiance, James, could calm her down. He suggested at this point that maybe a week or two's holiday may be a good idea, even going so far as to book everything within a few hours of her agreeing - setting their departure date to being only a few weeks away. Her mother told her to just go and take some time out for a while, she wasn't going anywhere too soon, and Angela should enjoy the time she has - make the most of her life. The couple set off and everything is wonderful.
Only when something begins to go awry does she meet Blake Edgeworth, almost a knight in shining armour, except more a bloke in a suit calling a taxi. It was almost.
Simple Attributes~
Joyful, free-spirited, loyal & loving, artistic, often oblivious.
Molly Hawking
Molly is at a new place in life. Having finally worked her way up to a respectable position at a previous firm, she then felt she still wasn't achieving her full potential. She applied for a very sought-after position at the Edgeworth's business. Somehow, whether through fluke of bumping into the CEO (Blake) or purely due to her own efforts, she landed the job of assistant director (to the creative director XD). She has been known to disagree with Blake on many an occasion - especially over his job titles - but they do get on very well. Molly has earned the nickname 'mummy molly' amongst her friends at work, due to the fact she is constantly fussing over everyone and anything. She is prepared for any event, explaining the enormous handbags she always carries around. Though not strictly fussy about brands or names, Molly likes for her clothing and accessories to be of a top quality and so is often seen wearing designers than some can only dream of wearing.

Kind, bossy, fiercely independent, fiery, astute.
LOL SO I know that a lot of these are vague and some aren't but ajdhgfd there's varying degrees of what I want to let you in on XD hopefully I will actually write something significant at some point, but I'm pretty sure you'll just get snippets forever LOL. But yeah, these are the characters, so you're officially obliged to make me graphics. Or something. XD Even in my own fics, I ship everyonexeveryone (other than siblings, heh) so you can't shock me ;D [THIS OBVIOUSLY AIMED AT MARY HAHAAA]
