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!

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 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

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 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

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.

Class Status: Lower Class
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

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

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.

Class Status: Lower Class

Monique (Chevalier) Devehart

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?

Class Status: Lower Class
Traits: Flirty, Great Kisser, Virtuoso, Daredevil, Lucky
LTW: Master Romancer
Spouse: Fitzwilliam Devehart

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.
