Introducing Cabin 2!

Erin Parker

Photobucket

Erin's always been a little bit crazy, so no one in her overly large family was very surprised when she decided to leave on the boat. The fourth daughter of a poor family, Erin was overlooked and never expected to amount to much of anything. She wasn't the prettiest, the smartest, or the most hard-working, and she had a tendency to sneak off to paint when she should have been tending to the chickens or weeding the garden. Erin left with vague dreams of meeting Prince Charming during the voyage and getting swept away on horseback to the castle of her dreams, where they would raise a large family together. Imagine her surprise when there wasn't a single prince in sight! And to add insult to injury, some pirate woman named Lucia had the nerve to ask her to fetch some food for her, as if Erin was a common servant! Needless to say, Erin and Lucia are now enemies. Erin did find a friend in Kim Cinders however, a kind woman who married during the voyage.

Akua Owusu

Photobucket

Taught to sell goods for his father as soon as he could talk, Akua is the perfect businessman. He comes from a large family of merchants, but even among them he's always been special. Akua's uncanny ability to convince others to buy anything has given him an incredible amount of success, but Akua always craves more. He isn't sure what he wants exactly, but he knows that the answer is somewhere out there. Akua convinced his father that he was going to the new kingdom to represent the company, but that was a blatant lie. He really just wants to have a fresh start. On the journey, he discovered the pirate captain, Lucia, stealing from his fresh water supply. Akua confronted her, and now the two are sworn enemies. When the crew landed, Akua noticed a beautiful girl getting off the boat. The only thing Akua knows about her is that her name is Lizabet, but he is sure that for the first time ever he's in love.

Amber Tuf

Photobucket

Amber took one look at the boat on the departure day, and she had to go. Amber's always been like that- she could never resist a good toy, and the boat had so many cool gadgets to discover and play with. Amber's older brother called her a child for wanting to leave just because of a dumb boat, but he wasn't laughing when she hid on the boat, now was he? Amber still laughs imagining him telling Mother that he couldn't find her, that she must've left on the boat. It was a spontaneous move, but completely worth it! Besides, in the new kingdom Amber would be able to write about everything. She had vague fantasies of writing true stories in a form that people would actually want to buy! But Amber knew she made the right choice when she met Akua Owusu- otherwise known as the man of her dreams! He's smart, witty, good looking, and interesting. Too bad she only said about two words to him throughout the voyage! Will Amber achieve her dreams and win Akua's affections?

In Love With: Akua Owusu (See "Middle Class")

Fran Stein

Photobucket

Nobody knew of Fran when she showed up at the boat, demanding entry. To be honest, everyone was too scared to say no. She was a strange one for sure, always seeming to get pleasure out of others' misfortunes. She also had the habit of constantly mooching food and money off of others- it got rather annoying! Kira Ashton was always willing to give Fran some money, but when Fran demanded that Kira give her everything she owned, that was the end of it! Now the two of them hate each other. Fran's only friend is Janice York, another woman who feels isolated and different from the other travelers. Will Fran fit in among the kingdom, or is she just too unusual?

Robbie Johnston

Photobucket

Robbie has it all going on, and he knows it. His Daddy was rich and gave him lots of money for the voyage. So why isn't he part of the upper echelon of society? Robbie has no clue, but he means to find out! Unfortunately, he's already on terrible terms with Wayne Dunthorpe, the sweetheart of the Noble class. Apparently it wasn't a good idea to call him pretentious to his face- but how was Robbie supposed to know he was a Noble, it was only a joke! Robbie's stress over his status has made him a little bit neurotic. He's obsessed with fitting in with the high class society. His new girlfriend, Judi Dielman, is great at calming him down, but he worries that if he wants to continue rising higher in society he may have to leave her behind...

Girlfriend: Judi Dielman (See "Lower Class")

Wayne Dunthorpe

Photobucket

Wayne never questioned going on the ship. He felt that it was his destiny, his chance to do something truly exciting and wild. Wayne was sick of hanging around court flirting with women and riding in jousting tournaments. So he left, and hasn't looked back since. Right now, life is seeming pretty perfect. He knows that he's a big shot in the new kingdom (bringing tons of money tends to do that for you). He's already noticed girls squabbling over who gets to marry him- not that he plans to marry anytime soon! Best of all, Kira Ashton, his closest friend since childhood, has also decided to come. The only annoyance in his perfect world is Robbie Johnston. How dare that upstart jerk call him pretentious? Wayne has vowed to make sure that Robbie and his descendants are never in the upper class.

Kira Ashton

Photobucket

Everyone knows that Kira's a good girl. Sheltered and almost always kept at home in her gigantic manor house, Kira needed to get away. When her best friend Wayne told her about a journey to a new kingdom, Kira fell in love with the idea. Her parents begged her not to go, but Kira wouldn't listen. No matter what she did, someone wanted to coddle her or call her a "sweet little girl," like she didn't know what she was doing. Kira was sick of being treated like a child. She just wanted to be left to make her own decisions, and her choice was to leave. In the new kingdom now, Kira knows that everything will work out. She's already found a man to start a family with too! His name is Fitzwilliam Devehart, and unlike everyone else, even Wayne, he treats her like a real person, not a delicate doll. So why does he insist they keep their relationship secret? Kira is prepared to lose her status in the kingdom if that's what it takes for the world to acknowledge their relationship.

Kyler Maddox

Photobucket

Ever since he was young, Kyler worked as a spy for the King. The work always got him excited. He felt special, somehow more important than his good-for-nothing brothers that hang around the taverns when they should be bringing money in for the family. One day, it occurred to Kyler that the monarch in the new kingdom would need a spy, and that if he moved in fast he could probably become the head of security. Each day, Kyler waits anxiously to learn who will be King or Queen so that he can offer his services. In the midst of all his spying will Kyler actually have time to make friends?

Introducing Cabin 1!

The passengers of Cabin 1 are a very diverse group, with their own histories and connections!

Jamie Lithnburg

Photobucket

Jamie is a simple enough girl who decided to travel to the new kingdom just because it seemed like an exciting idea. She doesn't expect to be one of the decision-makers or anything, but she is hoping to raise a large, happy family. She is also happy to finally be on land again, so that she can surround herself with plants. Jamie's always had a knack for growing beautiful, healthy plants. Jamie didn't sleep very well on the journey (she's always had a hard time sleeping anywhere but her own bed), and wasn't her usual self, so she didn't really make many friends. She did develop a hatred for Yoko Usagi, however, when Yoko tried to give her some condescending advice on how to grow better plants. The two of them are now enemies.

Joel Thomas

Photobucket

Joel did not originally want to come on the boat. He was all settled in the old kingdom with a steady job as a merchant and a relatively decent social standing- why leave? But when Joel's brother Jimmy jumped to leave, Joel knew that he had to come also or risk never seeing his brother again. Imagine Joel's surprise when on the boat he met the love of his life- a pirate named Judi! He would never have expected to fall for someone so unconventional, so wild and daring. But despite seeing each other almost every night on the boat, Judi refuses to make their relationship official, and sometimes Joel wonders if she's keeping something from him. Will Joel ever win over Judi's full affections?

Jimmy Thomas

Photobucket

Jimmy is a care-free, happy kind of guy. When people began to talk about leaving the old kingdom, he jumped on the idea simply because it sounded exciting. A new land to be tamed! A new world to discover, for those brave enough to find it! Jimmy used his cooking abilities to get a position as head cook on the boat. His enthusiasm and support gave him a relatively high status in the new kingdom. Jimmy is most excited, however, to begin a family with his girlfriend, Janice York. In Jimmy's eyes, life is perfect. Will the reality of the new kingdom live up to his expectations?

Janice York

Photobucket

Janice had a miserable trip to the new kingdom. Between her many fears (are sea monsters real?), her intense fear of water, and her propensity to be a little, well, crazy, it was not a pleasant experience. Janice only left home because her boyfriend, Jimmy Thomas, insisted that she come with him. In fact, Jimmy was the ship's head cook, and a major supporter of the decision to leave. Janice is a little resentful that he forced her to leave the comfort and safety of her home to live in an entirely new world. She's still angry at him for forcing her to come with him, though at least Janice made friends with Fran Stein during the journey. Will Janice and Jimmy's relationship survive in the new kingdom?

Georgia Tomasi

Photobucket

Georgia has always taken her high rank for granted. At home, she chaffed at the need to always be the perfect lady and impress the many suitors that were only after her family's wealth. She helped to organize the voyage just for the chance to get away from everyone's expectations. On the boat, she willingly allowed the pirate Jack Trader to court her (a pirate! How scandalous! Wouldn't her poor mother just faint?). She is excited to begin a new life, where she can focus on painting, her true passion. Her help in paying for the boat (with her parent's money, of course- they thought they were funding some party dresses), however, guaranteed her a high status in the new kingdom. Will Georgia still be bound, just by a new set of expectations? Will she ever escape the fear that others control her life?

Melody Night

Photobucket

For as long as her family goes back, the first born female child has always been... gifted. Melody and her ancestors are able to see into the murky paths of the future and discover what will occur. Melody doesn't know how she feels about her ability. Sometimes, it seems more like a curse than a blessing, especially when her power marks her out as different from everyone else. Even worse is what is forbidden to those of her power: marriage. Melody must have at least one female child, but she is never allowed to commit herself to another person above her duty to read the future. Melody left because she wanted the chance to start a new life, away from the oppressive presence of her mother and grandmother, constantly telling her how to channel her powers. On the boat, she fell in love with Jesse Frank, a hired cook for the ship who knows nothing about her family or her past. How will Melody tell Jesse that they can never be more than just romantic interests?

Class Status: Lower Class- *Oracle*
Traits: Ambitious, Artistic, Bookworm, Friendly, Vegetarian

Jesse Frank

Photobucket

Jesse got himself a spot on the boat by working as a low level cook under Jimmy Thomas. So what if he's in about as low of a class as he can be- not like he'll stay that way! Jesse hopes that between his friendly personality and his phenomenal cooking skills, he can rise up in rank and receive the honor that is due to a hardworking individual such as himself. There's certainly more room for advancement here then at home, where he was just one of hundreds of lowly kitchen servants. Jesse's passion in life is cooking- he loves putting together different substances to create something delicious! But lately, Jesse has been feeling just as passionate for Melody Night, the amazing, mysterious woman he met on the boat. He hopes that one day she will tell him all of her secrets.

Isaac Couper

Photobucket

Leaving home was the scariest thing that Isaac ever did in his life, but he knew that he had to. Leaving behind a father who criticized him no matter what he did, Isaac would finally be free to pursue his dream of learning the art of medicine. Isaac has no grand dreams- all he wants is to help people who can't afford to hire a fancy, expensive doctor. Isaac's biggest fear is that he'll never be able to find a woman to love and start a family with. Will Isaac be able to achieve it all in the new kingdom?

The Nobles

1. Lucia Durand

Photobucket

As captain, Lucia was under a lot of pressure to choose the right path for her crew. Most agree that her final decision was for the best- but some wonder if she only did what was best for herself. Uncannily, Lucia befriended those with power very quickly. The money that her crew stole also ensured that she will be able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle (her crew doesn't have to know just how much money they had). Lucia is friends with one of her fellow crew members (Judi Dielman). However, Lucia antagonized Akua Owusu by stealing from his water supply. The two of them are now sworn enemies. Lucia has also declared Erin Parker as an enemy due to general differences in personality. Lucia is off to an interesting start, but will all of her enemies eventually catch up to her?

1. Damien Howard

Photobucket

A poor boy who joined the crew looking for some adventure and the opportunity to save damsels in distress, Damien was equally happy to settle down. Damien is ready to start a family, and on the constant look out for that perfect woman. He hopes to one day have a large happy family. So far, no one has caught his eye, but he's sure that it's only a matter of time. Damien dislikes Jack Trader quite a lot- he thinks that Jack is a bit crazy and that he's a fool for toying around with a woman to improve his social standing. Damien's friendly nature and his ability to find the perfect compliment for any person has earned him some standing among the others, but he doesn't feel the need to advance any further.

The Lower Class

1. Judi Dielman

Photobucket

Judi is happy with Lucia's decision to settle down. In fact, as a good friend of Lucia's and a generally agreeable person, Judi agrees with most everything that Lucia does. Judi was excited to meet all of the new men on the boat, and sure enough, she fell in love... twice! Judi's natural magnetism and open personality brought her not one but two men! At the moment, she's dating Robbie Johnston, but she worries that he's just a bit more popular than her, and that he has a higher societal status. She has also been having secret meetings with Joel Thomas, and she wonders if maybe he would be better for her. Who will Judi choose in the end? Will Robbie and Joel ever find out about each other?

2. Kim (Wormly) Cinders

Photobucket

A reluctant pirate from the start, Kim was only part of the crew to escape from cruel parents and a dead end future. She was never a good fit as a pirate- her true desire was always to write amazing novels! But Kim did love being outside, so she joined the crew and reassured herself that everything gave her more experiences to write about. When Lucia announced that they were joining the others on their journey to found a new kingdom, Kim was overjoyed. She soon formed a friendship with Erin Parker over their love of art. And, to her complete shock, Kim also found a husband. Her courtship with Andrew Cinders was short and sweet, and they were so in love that they married on board! Some of the others think that Andrew is a bit strange, but Kim doesn't care.

Andrew has always been a bit unusual. Happier living alone in the forest with trees and plants as his companions, no one was quite sure where he came from. Some even said that he was the child of a tree nymph. Everyone was even more shocked when he emerged from his forest to announce that he was going to the new kingdom. No one was quite sure how he had found out about the voyage, but they let him come. When Andrew met Kim on the boat, he fell in love instantly. He had never met someone who accepted him for who he was the way she did- and they both loved reading and the outdoors! Andrew is very excited to start a family with Kim in the new kingdom, as well as to create a new garden of his own!

4. Jack Trader

Photobucket

Jack joined the crew spontaneously one day the second he laid eyes on Lucia- it was love at first sight! Unfortunately, Lucia never showed the slightest interest in him. Jack still loves her, but he's become an expert at hiding his feelings. Now that the pirates are settling down, Jack hopes that he will be able to win Lucia's affection in the new kingdom. It doesn't help that he can't seem to gain any status though, and remains in the masses of poor unknowns while Lucia rises up higher and higher every day. In the mean time, Jack has begun an informal relationship with Georgia, a popular and rich woman who's a sucker for compliments. Jack hopes that through his connection to her, he may gain status of his own.

5. Fitzwilliam Devehart

Photobucket

Fitzwilliam was raised in poverty, but his mother always stressed the need for him to advance his station in life. Fitzwilliam joined the pirate crew to make some money and gain the leverage to become a noble, but he always considered himself better than the other pirates in both intelligence and personal charisma. Now, he sees the new kingdom as a chance to make his move towards the throne. On the journey, Fitzwilliam discovered Monique Chevalier, a kindred soul looking to woohoo as many men as possible in her quest to gain status. The two quickly got together, and before long decided to marry in the ultimate relationship of convenience, with the agreement that they could see other people. With the lovely Monique at his side and plans for advancement, Fitzwilliam is sure that he will soon be a noble. He has already begun the first phase of his plan- woohooing with Kira Ashton, a prominent noblewoman on his boat.

Photobucket

Monique joined the travelers at a stop along the way simply for the men- she'd already woohooed all the good looking ones (and many that weren't) in her small coastal village. Fitzwilliam stood out from the beginning as a promising one, and Monique has full confidence that their marriage will open her up to the high society that she craves to be part of. With her expert seduction skills, her propensity to take big risks (for big gains), and a dash of luck, Monique is sure that she'll be a success in all that she tries. Monique has already decided to disregard the popular fashions of the kingdom- why wear modest clothes when you look infinitely cuter in a short one that the kind of dress that shows it all off?

8. Melody Night

Photobucket

For as long as her family goes back, the first born female child has always been... gifted. Melody and her ancestors are able to see into the murky paths of the future and discover what will occur. Melody doesn't know how she feels about her ability. Sometimes, it seems more like a curse than a blessing, especially when her power marks her out as different from everyone else. Even worse is what is forbidden to those of her power: marriage. Melody must have at least one female child, but she is never allowed to commit herself to another person above her duty to read the future. Melody left because she wanted the chance to start a new life, away from the oppressive presence of her mother and grandmother, constantly telling her how to channel her powers. On the boat, she fell in love with Jesse Frank, a hired cook for the ship who knows nothing about her family or her past. How will Melody tell Jesse that they can never be more than just romantic interests?

9. Jesse Frank

Photobucket

Jesse got himself a spot on the boat by working as a low level cook under Jimmy Thomas. So what if he's in about as low of a class as he can be- not like he'll stay that way! Jesse hopes that between his friendly personality and his phenomenal cooking skills, he can rise up in rank and receive the honor that is due to a hardworking individual such as himself. There's certainly more room for advancement here then at home, where he was just one of hundreds of lowly kitchen servants. Jesse's passion in life is cooking- he loves putting together different substances to create something delicious! But lately, Jesse has been feeling just as passionate for Melody Night, the amazing, mysterious woman he met on the boat. He hopes that one day she will tell him all of her secrets.

10. Isaac Couper

Photobucket

Leaving home was the scariest thing that Isaac ever did in his life, but he knew that he had to. Leaving behind a father who criticized him no matter what he did, Isaac would finally be free to pursue his dream of learning the art of medicine. Isaac has no grand dreams- all he wants is to help people who can't afford to hire a fancy, expensive doctor. Isaac's biggest fear is that he'll never be able to find a woman to love and start a family with. Will Isaac be able to achieve it all in the new kingdom?

11. Erin Parker

Photobucket

Erin's always been a little bit crazy, so no one in her overly large family was very surprised when she decided to leave on the boat. The fourth daughter of a poor family, Erin was overlooked and never expected to amount to much of anything. She wasn't the prettiest, the smartest, or the most hard-working, and she had a tendency to sneak off to paint when she should have been tending to the chickens or weeding the garden. Erin left with vague dreams of meeting Prince Charming during the voyage and getting swept away on horseback to the castle of her dreams, where they would raise a large family together. Imagine her surprise when there wasn't a single prince in sight! And to add insult to injury, some pirate woman named Lucia had the nerve to ask her to fetch some food for her, as if Erin was a common servant! Needless to say, Erin and Lucia are now enemies. Erin did find a friend in Kim Cinders however, a kind woman who married during the voyage.

12. Amber Tuf

Photobucket

Amber took one look at the boat on the departure day, and she had to go. Amber's always been like that- she could never resist a good toy, and the boat had so many cool gadgets to discover and play with. Amber's older brother called her a child for wanting to leave just because of a dumb boat, but he wasn't laughing when she hid on the boat, now was he? Amber still laughs imagining him telling Mother that he couldn't find her, that she must've left on the boat. It was a spontaneous move, but completely worth it! Besides, in the new kingdom Amber would be able to write about everything. She had vague fantasies of writing true stories in a form that people would actually want to buy! But Amber knew she made the right choice when she met Akua Owusu- otherwise known as the man of her dreams! He's smart, witty, good looking, and interesting. Too bad she only said about two words to him throughout the voyage! Will Amber achieve her dreams and win Akua's affections?

13. Fran Stein

Photobucket

Nobody knew of Fran when she showed up at the boat, demanding entry. To be honest, everyone was too scared to say no. She was a strange one for sure, always seeming to get pleasure out of others' misfortunes. She also had the habit of constantly mooching food and money off of others- it got rather annoying! Kira Ashton was always willing to give Fran some money, but when Fran demanded that Kira give her everything she owned, that was the end of it! Now the two of them hate each other. Fran's only friend is Janice York, another woman who feels isolated and different from the other travelers. Will Fran fit in among the kingdom, or is she just too unusual?

14. Kyler Maddox

Photobucket

Ever since he was young, Kyler worked as a spy for the King. The work always got him excited. He felt special, somehow more important than his good-for-nothing brothers that hang around the taverns when they should be bringing money in for the family. One day, it occurred to Kyler that the monarch in the new kingdom would need a spy, and that if he moved in fast he could probably become the head of security. Each day, Kyler waits anxiously to learn who will be King or Queen so that he can offer his services. In the midst of all his spying will Kyler actually have time to make friends?

Meet the Pirates (and their Spouses)!

This crew of six had the find of a lifetime when they came upon boats full of men and women looking for a fresh start in a new home! The captain, Lucia Durand, made the executive decision to give up on their old lifestyle and begin a new life as citizens of the kingdom. Ready to settle down at last, the pirates used the remaining time at see to make friends (and enemies)- some of them even got married on board!

Lucia Durand

Photobucket

As captain, Lucia was under a lot of pressure to choose the right path for her crew. Most agree that her final decision was for the best- but some wonder if she only did what was best for herself. Uncannily, Lucia befriended those with power very quickly. The money that her crew stole also ensured that she will be able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle (her crew doesn't have to know just how much money they had). Lucia is friends with one of her fellow crew members (Judi Dielman). However, Lucia antagonized Akua Owusu (see "Middle Class") by stealing from his water supply. The two of them are now sworn enemies. Lucia has also declared Erin Parker (see "Lower Class") as an enemy due to general differences in personality. Lucia is off to an interesting start, but will all of her enemies eventually catch up to her?

Judi Dielman

Photobucket

Judi is happy with Lucia's decision to settle down. In fact, as a good friend of Lucia's and a generally agreeable person, Judi agrees with most everything that Lucia does. Judi was excited to meet all of the new men on the boat, and sure enough, she fell in love... twice! Judi's natural magnetism and open personality brought her not one but two men! At the moment, she's dating Robbie Johnso (see "Upper Middle Class"), but she worries that he's just a bit more popular than her, and that he has a higher societal status. She has also been having secret meetings with Mark Fenly (see "Lower Middle Class"), and she wonders if maybe he would be better for her. Who will Judi choose in the end? Will Robbie ever find out about Mark?

Kim (Wormly) Cinders

Photobucket

A reluctant pirate from the start, Kim was only part of the crew to escape from cruel parents and a dead end future. She was never a good fit as a pirate- her true desire was always to write amazing novels! But Kim did love being outside, so she joined the crew and reassured herself that everything gave her more experiences to write about. When Lucia announced that they were joining the others on their journey to found a new kingdom, Kim was overjoyed. She soon formed a friendship with Erin Parker (see "Lower Class") over their love of art. And, to her complete shock, Kim also found a husband. Her courtship with Andrew Cinders was short and sweet, and they were so in love that they married on board! Some of the others think that Andrew is a bit strange, but Kim doesn't care.

Andrew Cinders

Photobucket

Andrew has always been a bit unusual. Happier living alone in the forest with trees and plants as his companions, no one was quite sure where he came from. Some even said that he was the child of a tree nymph. Everyone was even more shocked when he emerged from his forest to announce that he was going to the new kingdom. No one was quite sure how he had found out about the voyage, but they let him come. When Andrew met Kim on the boat, he fell in love instantly. He had never met someone who accepted him for who he was the way she did- and they both loved reading and the outdoors! Andrew is very excited to start a family with Kim in the new kingdom, as well as to create a new garden of his own!

Jack Trader

Photobucket

Jack joined the crew spontaneously one day the second he laid eyes on Lucia- it was love at first sight! Unfortunately, Lucia never showed the slightest interest in him. Jack still loves her, but he's become an expert at hiding his feelings. Now that the pirates are settling down, Jack hopes that he will be able to win Lucia's affection in the new kingdom. It doesn't help that he can't seem to gain any status though, and remains in the masses of poor unknowns while Lucia rises up higher and higher every day. In the mean time, Jack has begun an informal relationship with Georgia (see "Noble"), a popular and rich woman who's a sucker for compliments. Jack hopes that through his connection to her, he may gain status of his own.

Traits: Insane, Perfectionist, Savvy Sculptor, Angler, Friendly
LTW: Jack of all Trades (hahahaha, get it? Jack Trader is a Jack of all Trades!!- sorry for the bad pun, had to do it!)

Damien Howard

Photobucket

A poor boy who joined the crew looking for some adventure and the opportunity to save damsels in distress, Damien was equally happy to settle down. Damien is ready to start a family, and on the constant look out for that perfect woman. He hopes to one day have a large happy family. So far, no one has caught his eye, but he's sure that it's only a matter of time. Damien dislikes Jack Trader quite a lot- he thinks that Jack is a bit crazy and that he's a fool for toying around with a woman to improve his social standing. Damien's friendly nature and his ability to find the perfect compliment for any person has earned him some standing among the others, but he doesn't feel the need to advance any further.

Fitzwilliam Devehart

Photobucket

Fitzwilliam was raised in poverty, but his mother always stressed the need for him to advance his station in life. Fitzwilliam joined the pirate crew to make some money and gain the leverage to become a noble, but he always considered himself better than the other pirates in both intelligence and personal charisma. Now, he sees the new kingdom as a chance to make his move towards the throne. On the journey, Fitzwilliam discovered Monique Chevalier, a kindred soul looking to woohoo as many men as possible in her quest to gain status. The two quickly got together, and before long decided to marry in the ultimate relationship of convenience, with the agreement that they could see other people. With the lovely Monique at his side and plans for advancement, Fitzwilliam is sure that he will soon be a noble. He has already begun the first phase of his plan- woohooing with Kira Ashton (see "Noble"), a prominent noblewoman on his boat.

Monique (Chevalier) Devehart

Photobucket

Monique joined the travelers at a stop along the way simply for the men- she'd already woohooed all the good looking ones (and many that weren't) in her small coastal village. Fitzwilliam stood out from the beginning as a promising one, and Monique has full confidence that their marriage will open her up to the high society that she craves to be part of. With her expert seduction skills, her propensity to take big risks (for big gains), and a dash of luck, Monique is sure that she'll be a success in all that she tries. Monique has already decided to disregard the popular fashions of the kingdom- why wear modest clothes when you look infinitely cuter in the kind of dress that shows it all off?

Fitzwilliam and Monique may have an open relationship, but their marriage is passionate as well! (The two of them started flirting and kissing autonomously the second I placed them down, haha)

Hope you enjoyed the first update! Expect more soon! I'm going to put out each additional introduction update based on which cabin they lived in on the boat.

You may also have noticed the "See ___ social class" comments. I'm about to create separate blog posts for each social class, so you can easily check where your sim is. All new sims will be added to those pages as they are born, or switched if they move social class.
