Hi Priti. I’m Xander, which you probably already knew. Some people call me Xan. *looks at sheet of paper* Life growing up? Shit. Not good. Some times I wonder if being in foster care would have been better than being with an absentee father and a mother who didn’t care. We’re dealt certain cards though and it’s our responsibility to make the best of it. I just wished I’d learned that a bit sooner. Then again, would you be who you are now without having the life you had?

Anyways, I was your typical delinquent terrorizing the streets of San Myshuno. Got in with the wrong crowds, did stupid shit. Everything kind of changed on my 18th birthday. Found out the girl I was seeing was pregnant.

I didn’t want any child of mine to have the childhood I had. I picked up a few odd jobs here and there. Found some part time work. Got an apartment. The day that little girl was born, I made a promise that she would never want for anything. 

For two years, my life revolved around my family. It never crossed my mind that it would all come crashing down on me. Nothing like coming home to an empty apartment and a note of the table. Come to find out, I wasn’t the father and my girl was still seeing the other guy. Guess I was more the side piece since she ran off and married him, taking my daught... well, taking that precious angel with her. 

It would be a lie to say I didn’t hit rock bottom after all that. I started hanging with some of my old “buddies”. It took me finding this bracelet to wake me up from my downward spiral. It’s silly, but it was the last present I received from that baby girl. I’m sure my ex picked it out, but the tag said it was from her. 

Anyways, now that I’ve brought the mood way down, the bracelet is my reminder of that promise I made. It’s been two years since this all went down. I got my GED and lucked into a job as a mailroom technician at a local business. There’s promise of upward movement if I apply myself.

*looks at paper again* Hobbies? Not gonna lie. I’m not much of an outdoor person. It might not be “manly” to admit it, but creepy crawlies and I do not mix. I do enjoy sports. Crazy since most sports are done outside. When life gets to be too much, I’ll head out to the basketball court outside my apartment building. Since getting my GED, I’ve also grown to appreciate a good book. Definitely more into non fictions, but I might be convinced to try something new. Can’t judge a book by the cover, huh?

I won’t lie. I’m still not 100 percent sure why I signed up for this. It just felt right in the pit of my stomach. If we end up having major chemistry and find love, that’s a good thing, right? And even if we don’t, the experience has got to be worth it, huh? Taking a chance and all that?

I guess that’s all I really got to say. I look forward to possibly meeting you. If not, I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Cameraman: Go ahead, introduce yourself.

Oli: Hi, I’m Oli Martinez. I grew up in Windenburg with my mom. My uh...dad isn’t really in the picture. But, my mom did really well and raised me on her own. She was uh...aa-a really sweet mother. [clears throat] Sorry I got a little off track there.

Anyway, I’m 24 years old. I went to school for a degree in graphic design and now I’ve built a pretty good career as a freelance artist. 

Cameraman: When was your last relationship?

Oli: I haven’t been in a serious relationship since college. I guess I’m kind of a loner. I’m a little shy so it’s hard for me to meet people and put myself out there. 

Cameraman: Any hobbies?

Oli: My main hobbies are video games and collecting. I mostly collect figurines, elements, and crystals. I started collecting when I was younger but when my mom... ummm died, collecting really helped me cope. 

Cameraman: Anything else you wanna tell Priti?

Oli: Oh I guess you should also know that I don’t really like kids. I can handle them but I guess I’m more of an animal person. I have a cat named Chi Chi. I wanted her in this interview but she’s hiding out somewhere. She’s a little sweetheart though.

Angel is a daredevil. She loves all extreme sports and is always up for dares. Sky diving, bungee jumps, swimming in a shark tank, eating the world’s hottest chili pepper... Nothing is too extreme. Sometimes, she forgets that not all sims share her enthusiasm and she won’t take no for an answer. This can lead to everyone pouting but luckily, Angel is quick to apologise and comes up with some other (less exciting) activity.

She has caused some awkward situations with talking before thinking. Her sense of humour can be very inapproriate. Even though she has apologised, two of her aunts won’t talk to her.

Angel likes buying her friends (and especially SO) small gifts. She’s very into comics and loves citrus fruits. Angel likes to stay up late (she prefers to watch sunrise before going to bed). She doesn’t want to get older and dislikes being an adult. Luckily for her, she has rich parents and she doesn’t need to worry about a lot of things.

She’s definitely fun to hang out with but is she ready for something more serious?

her backstory: 

tarragon grew up in a household that never really appreciated her for who she was. she is the youngest of three siblings and is the only girl. she went to private school all her life and was bullied for the way she expressed herself--being in a private school, the kids all just acted and looked the same to her. since her parents were wealthy she was able to go to a prestigious liberal arts school! she recognizes her privilege and is an active social justice advocate. when she graduated college, she moved out of her childhood home to pursue social justice and also found a job animating cartoons. she still thinks from time to time that she may not actually be good enough, but animating and helping those who cannot do so themselves, helps tarragon to know that she is worthy of love and acceptance.

fun facts:

- she looovessss experimenting with color and her style 

- her favorite cartoon is spongebob

- has only been in one relationship all her life so she’s a bit new to all of this!!

- started a circus club in highschool, but only got two of her friends to join :(

- her guilty pleasure is listening to pop music, esp ariana grande 

- her bedroom is full of neon signs and posters

- is currently spearheading a large social justice protest to take place in san myshuno! 

there she is!! i hope you like her :-)

backstory

arthur is a uni student studying biology, currently in his last year of undergrad & setting his sights on veterinary school. he has a great relationship with his family, is sweet and hardworking, and tries to live each day to the fullest. he loves making friends and has a lot of them, but embarrassingly (for him, at least) has never been in a romantic relationship. seeing as he has no trouble talking with people and spending time with them, this seems to be more due to his own insecurities with dating and being truly vulnerable with people. it stems from being bullied pretty extensively in high school and, though his demeanor is still very friendly towards those around him, deep down he has trouble really trusting people and letting them in. he finds animals a lot easier to deal with and confide in (to the annoyance of his long-suffering mother and then landlord trying to deal with all the strays over the years) and though he’s still quite young, it’s gotten to the point where fears of being alone with a few dozen cats are starting to come to mind- so he decided to do something drastic. aka, apply to be a contestant on the bachelorette and try very hard not to make a fool of himself! 🤣
