i saw this game and thought it was so cool! so i decided to make my own!!
i will do the name, picture, and bio of a character, and you will do the same for someone related by any means (blood, friendship, etc.)
OK, here goes!
The year is 2044. Maja Aurora Scherrer (42) is out living her best life. She decided to be a single mother in her 20’s because being on the spectrum, she thought having a marriage would prevent her and her kids from having the best life possible. Thankfully, she decided to work from home and found her own graphic design firm to ensure a flexible schedule which fit her needs. She has 5 kids whom she decided to raise the way she wished she were raised. Yet it’s worked out all well, none of them hate their mother or their way of life. They are all homeschooled but have all fostered a relationship with her cousins (whom she called her siblings-in-spirit, as she is an only child) and aunt.

[name_f]Serenity[/name_f] “Ren” [name_f]Leanor[/name_f] Scherrer (17) is Maja’s oldest child and daughter. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is in her senior year of high school (12th grade), and has always loved being homeschooled. As the first kid to start homeschooling in her family, the first couple of years were a bit tough while her mom got used to it. After that things went very smoothly. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] has never felt like she missed anything by not having a dad. Her mother’s 41-year-old first cousin, her first cousin once removed, has been a paternal figure to both [name_u]Ren[/name_u] and her siblings. He lives the closest to them and has always been willing to help [name_f]Maja[/name_f] out as he doesn’t have a family of his own.
[name_u]Ren[/name_u] has a baking business that she started last year with her best friend who’s also homeschooled. It’s been taking off really well and the girls plan to open a bakery after high school. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] has been dating her best friend’s twin brother for a few months now and they love going on hiking dates. She’s very close to all her siblings and likes listening to [name_f]Tyla[/name_f] when she talks about mythology even though it isn’t something that interests her a lot. One of Ren’s brothers is very artistic and he often helps with cake decorating ideas. He’s been teaching [name_u]Ren[/name_u] how to paint and they’re definitely enjoying the bonding time.

His best friend outside his siblings is his pen pal from [name_f]Ethiopia[/name_f]. He and his older brother enjoy canoeing in the summer and sledding in the winter.

[name_f]Valeria[/name_f] [name_f]Krista[/name_f] Scherrer (78) is the aunt of [name_f]Maja[/name_f] and great-aunt to her children. Like [name_f]Maja[/name_f], [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] is single and doesn’t care about what stereotypes people say about single mothers. Still, [name_u]Ren[/name_u] and [name_u]Kay[/name_u] are in great relationships with good boyfriends and [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] is happy they have real love and real respect. [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] has four grown children of her own who are respectively 48, 44, 41, and 39.

[name_u]Ren[/name_u] and [name_u]Rio[/name_u] enjoy painting and artwork and [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] loves his creative side underneath his snarky exterior. She and [name_m]Tyrell[/name_m] enjoy mythology and archaeology and learn a lot from each other. Like [name_m]Mac[/name_m], she also enjoys turtles.

Pracha “Orville” Wittikul (14) is Kay’s boyfriend. One day at the park [name_u]Kay[/name_u] and her family were having a picnic while Orville’s dance class was in session. [name_u]Kay[/name_u] was mesmerized by the routine and somehow her eyes locked on [name_m]Orville[/name_m]. He then inspired her to join the dance class; and other students there inspired her to take up cheer as well.
Seeing that [name_u]Kay[/name_u] spends a lot of time with him, in turn he has become very supportive of her life choices and her viral status. Having a single father, [name_m]Orville[/name_m] shares the joy [name_u]Kay[/name_u] has in being the child of a single parent. Her mother and his father have become close friends.

[name_f]Desiree[/name_f] [name_f]Sonja[/name_f] “Dezi” Fradle (39) is Valeria’s youngest child.
As a kid she always carried a small blanket with a duck head - an item that would become synonymous with her when she suddenly outbursted about losing her duck. [name_f]Maja[/name_f] turned the incident into a story which later went viral. Up until Dezi’s teens, she and [name_f]Maja[/name_f] would frequently hold sleepovers and feed Maja’s stuffed animals in a play kitchen café called Jazzies.
Since her teens, she has had a knack for fitness and working out - in fact, she started a job at a Crossfit Gym at the age of 16 and a year later was already promoted to Manager. The gym was originally called Unimagic but Dezi’s takeover - and the fame of her duck incident - was enough to change it to Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u].
She remains the manager of Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] Crossfit, a thriving gym walking distance from Valeria’s home in [name_u]California[/name_u]. All of the other coaches and athletes - and even some high school students nearby - look forward to their weekly workout classes and personal training sessions with her. She also holds workouts at home with her small family as well.
Though now they are a state apart, [name_f]Maja[/name_f] and [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] remain best cousins. [name_f]Maja[/name_f] actually reaches out to [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] through text message to help lead the PE portion of her homeschool program over Zoom. As a result, the kids are all huge fans of Dezi’s workouts and when the family goes to visit, a stop at Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] is a must.

[name_u]Jensen[/name_u] [name_m]Seymour[/name_m] Fradle (38) is Dezi’s husband. In contrast to his light-hearted wife, he’s darker and more reclusive, but in the end it’s all for her. He was “the bad boy” in high school but he was never a complete jerk then. He too likes to work out but he’s seen what happens with the gym’s money. One of Dezi’s most trusted employees hates [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] and thinks he’s “creepy and suspicious” but [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] tells her not to worry.
“Someone hacked your gym’s website but no worries, I got it taken care of,” [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] told [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] in front of said employee. [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] then casually went to work out and that employee glared at him. “Hmm something’s up,” she mumbled, only for [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] to mumble back, “Yes I agree” while continuing to run a treadmill. “Ah! He heard me! Better get out…” she mumbled and left.
She asked [name_m]Dezi[/name_m], “Why is he here? He’s making me uncomfortable and I think he’s doing something very bad for your gym.” [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] reassured her that [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] was her husband and he was just working out like everyone else. [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] was then confused that some of the supplies were being taken away, such as the supplies for the high school weekly workout classes. [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] offered to stay the night at Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] CrossFit and investigate. No information was found that night. He kept insisting on doing so for more nights, but [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] was concerned. He finally decided to stay for an entire 24-hour period.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] more stuff was stolen and Dezi’s trusted employee was acting all strange around [name_u]Jensen[/name_u]. [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] reassured, “There is nothing to be afraid of. We are all part of this together. I can understand if you are nervous. Many people are nervous when they go to the gym the first time and see they’re working out with exceptionally fit and muscular people. No matter what, if there is anything personal that bothers you, I get it.” “No matter what?” she asks. “No matter what,” [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] responded. She told him as quietly as she could and he nodded, then left. “Nice to see those two are getting along now. Maybe they are working together,” [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] says. Suddenly the police showed up and the trusted employee yelled, “It was [name_u]Jensen[/name_u]! He’s a creep! He’s a liar! I said it!” However the police arrested her, not him. She was actually the thief and [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] wasn’t a criminal but an undercover cop. He was posing as a gymgoer and she was scared of him because she was guilty and he knew it. That’s why [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] never suspected [name_u]Jensen[/name_u], she knew his career profession. The motive for the gym thefts and hacking was that the not-so-trusted-anymore employee was envious of Dezi’s success and wanted to steal her stuff and ideas and make her own gym with it. It was quite the scandal but Dezi’s family has had her back despite the crazy betrayal of a long-trusted employee, who is now in jail. Now with Dezi’s stuff returned, the gym is back to good thriving days.

[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] Mullins (18) is Ren’s friend and the co-owner of her baking business. She and [name_u]Ren[/name_u] live walking distance from each other and travel to each other’s houses to bake sugar cookies. In addition, she comes along when her twin brother takes [name_u]Ren[/name_u] on hiking dates. In the past year she also has fostered friendships with Ren’s sisters and while waiting for their delicacies to come out of the oven, they play card games together in Maja’s game room.

Eileen Aurelia “Lena” Fradle (15) is the younger of Jensen and Dezi’s two children. She is incredibly smart, and she skipped 4th through 6th grades. As a result, she is well-versed about both her parents’ jobs and motives. She helps her father plan his life- and sanity-saving criminal catching activity, and is one of the first to report any suspicions to him. She knows he is not as dark and creepy as hearsay has made him out to be.
In addition, she is a major help to Dezi at her gym. She and her brother helped their mother put together a home gym in the family garage, which they use regularly to test workouts before presenting them to gymgoers at Quack Magic.
At the time of the ‘trusted employee’ incident, she already knew the suspect was up to no good, and after completing workouts, she caught sight of the ‘trusted employee’ repeatedly gesturing as if to enter Dezi’s supply cabinet, so she raised the suspicions to Jensen. After the fact, she has advised her mother to examine potential employees more carefully before bringing them into the fold.

[name_u]Janis[/name_u] [name_f]Jill[/name_f] “Janie” [name_f]Summer[/name_f] (44) is Valeria’s second child and the elder of her two daughters. [name_f]Maja[/name_f] has a deeper relationship with her than any of her other cousins. [name_f]Janie[/name_f] was Maja’s first idol - at the playground, [name_f]Maja[/name_f] wanted to do everything [name_f]Janie[/name_f] did. When [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] entered her unpredictable teen phase, [name_f]Maja[/name_f] started bonding with [name_f]Janie[/name_f] again and they began going on drives together.
Janie’s 41-year-old brother encouraged her to move to [name_u]Arizona[/name_u] as well, and to thank her [name_f]Maja[/name_f] encouraged [name_f]Janie[/name_f] to take up homeschooling.
Janie’s family meets with Maja’s once a week for lunch (with the meet location alternating between houses each month) and sometimes Janie’s brother comes along. Because of the mothers’ close ties, the second cousins have bonded with each other. [name_f]Janie[/name_f] absolutely adores Mac’s love for turtles, as it reminds her of Maja’s love for cows.

[name_f]Tamika[/name_f] [name_f]Clarisse[/name_f] Mullins (44) is Janie’s best friend, Vera’s mother, and gets along with the Fradle family. She finds it totally scandalous that a once-trusted employee committed crimes against Dezi’s gym but is happy she went to jail and is no long wreaking havoc. [name_f]Tamika[/name_f] finds [name_f]Lena[/name_f] a very smart individual and thinks she is very mature for her age and deserves credit for how much she helps her parents. She is also close with [name_f]Maja[/name_f] as well and considers she, [name_f]Maja[/name_f], and [name_f]Janie[/name_f] to be three peas in a pod. [name_f]Tamika[/name_f] is a cook herself, working at a family-style buffet.

[name_f]Reyna[/name_f] [name_u]Idris[/name_u] Valdez Barrios (26) is the formerly trusted employee, currently serving a 15-year sentence at [name_u]New[/name_u] Zagreb Municipal Jail.
She started at Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] in 2040, with [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] hiring her on the basis that she was a huge fan and had dreamed to work at her gym. The two had chemistry for a long time. However, over the following years, she started to show signs of laziness, selfishness, and general disillusionment. Turns out that translated into the jealousy which inspired her to steal key assets from Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u].
Unbeknownst to the world outside her jail, now that she’s been in jail for over a year she regrets the life she used to lead, and once she gets out she wants to forget there ever was a Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] Crossfit, and instead become a pro cornhole player - a passion she’s cultivated while watching other inmates play in the jail yard.

[name_f]Abiela[/name_f] “ [name_u]Abi[/name_u] ” [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] Valdez Barrios (27) is Reyna’s older sister. She knows [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] is a nice person but she’s just in so much shock after finding out what her sister had done. She’s hoping her sister gets on a better path and leads a better life for herself, especially since she will lose a lot of time in the outside world due to being in jail. [name_u]Abi[/name_u] would be surprised to know [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] is pursuing professional cornhole but she would be satisfied as long as [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] is happy and finds what she really wants in life. [name_u]Abi[/name_u] isn’t married or has kids yet and is a full-time computer consultant, which is where she found out about the hacking, which shocked her as well. Deep down, [name_u]Abi[/name_u] and [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] will always be sisters and [name_u]Abi[/name_u] keeps resentment out of her life. Although [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] and [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] are on bad terms, Dezi’s warmed up to [name_u]Abi[/name_u] and some of the other gym members at
Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] CrossFit.

[name_m]Josue[/name_m] [name_m]Romano[/name_m] “Joe Joe” Contreras Barrios (50) is [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] and Abi’s stepfather. He was also one of Valeria’s eldest son (48)'s college buddies. Much like [name_u]Abi[/name_u], [name_u]Joe[/name_u] [name_u]Joe[/name_u] was clearly shocked when [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] went to jail. He didn’t tell anyone, yet inside he knew of Reyna’s selfish, slothful tendencies but he thinks now that she is in jail she will reflect on it and grow out of it. He is also a coach of many up and coming cornhole players - little does he know that is the new path his jailed stepdaughter is planning…

[name_f]Thérèse[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] “Tress” Noggs (35) is the employee who replaced [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]. She was the first Quack [name_u]Magic[/name_u] employee to be hired with a change in the hiring procedure in the aftermath of Reyna’s heist.
In her early teens she was one of Maja’s internet friends. At the time, [name_f]Maja[/name_f] went by a screen name “Flossy.” They bonded over collecting fighting creature action figures and did roleplay scenarios with 70s musicians. A year after she and [name_f]Maja[/name_f] (Flossy) met, a beligerent troll hacked into one of their mutuals’ accounts and (very wrongly) cyberbullied [name_f]Maja[/name_f] (Flossy), accusing her of being a creep - causing [name_f]Maja[/name_f] to leave the chat platform (never to return) and change her display name on other platforms to “Lesha”. Tress later left the same platform.
Tress was only one of very few to know the truth, and like [name_f]Maja[/name_f] she disbelieved the bullies. All [name_f]Maja[/name_f] did was give Tress life advice and support her life choices, not once bringing up or even referencing sexual desires with anyone. She suggested to [name_f]Maja[/name_f] that maybe the bullies were the real creeps - and [name_f]Maja[/name_f] agreed.
It is because of this that [name_f]Maja[/name_f] warns her kids never to join Grumbler, the blogging site where she met Tress.
Tress knew that [name_f]Maja[/name_f] had cousins, just not that [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] was among them. When she and [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] were still getting to know each other, [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] described her cousin only for Tress to go, “Is that [name_f]Flossy[/name_f]? I wonder what she’s up to now.”
Tress and [name_f]Maja[/name_f] only recently started making contact again, with [name_m]Dezi[/name_m] re-introducing Tress to [name_f]Maja[/name_f] after 2 decades without contact.

[name_u]Adrian[/name_u] [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] “Ade” Klasky (42) is Tamika’s sous chef at Aisyah’s Family Buffet. They were paired because they work the same evening shift, and he always encourages [name_f]Tamika[/name_f] to bring home some of their cooking to feed her family for dinner. He double-checks all the food to make sure the recipes are followed and they fit the quality customers expect. He and [name_f]Tamika[/name_f] have consistently won ‘Chef Team of the Month’ awards.
When not helping [name_f]Tamika[/name_f] (who affectionately calls him “Ade the Spade” - in return he calls her “Mika Chika”), he has a side hustle repairing people’s electronic devices - one time he fixed Vera’s laptop.
