These took me a while. G was easy, Brooke took some thinking.
Goopy "G" GilsCarbo- townie turned character
1. G is my favorite townie. Sure, he has a big nose, dominate genes and terrible fashion sense but if you can get past all of that- he is very sweet and friendly. Give him a make over and let him into your families. You won't be sorry.
2. He accepted the job offer from SFO Corporation in the hopes that he could do some good for his city. He had no practical experience in business management but what he lacks in training he makes up for with good intentions. Sadly his power within the organization is very limited.
3. His lifetime want was/is to be Captain Hero but he left the force too early to be promoted properly. Instead he "acquired" some super serum to give him the abilities of the Captain from an old friend in the local crime syndicate (Tess Trueheart). Technically illegal, but for the greater good.
4. G is a romance sim to the bone but not the lecherous type. He just loves women. All women. He loves how they smell and how they walk and how they smile. He is never truly disrespectful to any lady he spends time with.
5. He was initially unaware of the true face of Marie Grey and her company but soon came to realize that behind the charitable donations and education foundations was a machine designed to manipulate and enslave sims around the world. A mega-corp at it's worst.
6. He has fallen for Heidi in a big way. I don't want to spoil my story for readers so all I will say is that the next update will find them both making some big decisions.
7. He loves his fancy cars and expensive clothes a lot. He is surprisingly materialistic now that he has money.
8. G from time to time over indulges in alcohol and parties. Being a cop was tough. Being a regional CEO for an evil corporation is tougher. Especially when he realized that things weren't as they should be. He carries a lot of guilt about his part in helping the company get a foothold in Pleasant View. This is why the red queen shows up with him from time to time in the story.
9. Nervous Subject scares G. A simple criminal is easy to understand, even a serial killer has a formula or MO. Nervous doesn't seem to have that formula and the concept of a child of the Grim Reaper hunting sims is overwhelming. The spirit world isn't something he is trained to cope with.
10. This is a bit more about Marie than G- She has some kind of distinct attachment to G that hasn't yet been explained. He has challenged her several times and not been fired or permanently terminated like so many others before him. He doesn't know anything about it.
I've said this before, but I sort of styled G after Tony Stark from Marvel's Iron Man comics. A wealthy playboy with an alter ego out for justice.
Brooke Rose James (AKA: Brooke #1)
1. Brooke is in possession of: 1 genie lamp (unused), 1 voodoo doll (used once for fun to see what it does) and the blessings of Jumbok from his wishing fountain. You would think someone with so much potential power and good luck should have a better life.
2. She is very artistic but rarely paints anymore. As a child/teen she could always be found in front of an easel. Mostly to escape Kira and Alicia's taunting.
3. Reality Vs. Story- Chewy (her former boyfriend and simself) gets the occasional booty call from Brooke despite her dating Avri on a regular basis. Hopefully that will stop when they (Brooke and Avri) get engaged.
4. Brooke is very quiet and reserved. She prefers a simple, uncomplicated life and dislikes all the fighting in the college house.
5. Her one true hobby is tinkering and she maxed her mechanical skill as a teen. In my mind that gives her an affinity with machine spirits though she doesn't posses the ability to see or hear them like her uncle Darwin.
6. After college re-roll she is a fortune/grilled cheese with a LTW for earning 100,000 simoleons. While family might have suited her better, I'm happy to have an impossible want for the points.
7. Brooke's depression stems from her feeling inadequate and rejected despite her gentle break up with Chewy (She's the heir, I need a non playable spouse). Part of this is chemical imbalances in her brain (medical) and banes- foul tempered spirits that seek out and amplify misery- that pull and tug at her emotions (supernatural). I actually intend for her to be manic/depressive over time which means she will soon have an upswing.
8. As you will soon see, Brooke has very little to say about her future with Avri. Darwin has found out about him and likes what he sees.
9. Brooke is a daddy's girl. Mostly because her mother was so busy with her career while Brooke was growing up. George's hours allowed for more time with the kids. Darwin too played a big role in her formative years and they are very close as well.
10. Typical daily wants: serve grilled cheese, buy expensive stereo. A very simple sim.
Okay, I will say this again- if you want to play along consider yourself tagged. If you want to know about my characters- just ask and I will post. :)
