Create a Family w/a Twist & Challenge!

Copied from the original games from @Lindseylloyd052399: I will post a picture and give a full name and age for my fictional person. I will then write a paragraph, give or take, about the person. The next poster will create a person that is related to the previous one in some way (it does not have to be by blood–it could be a neighbor, friend, coworker, anything).

However in this version, there are challenges! A challenge is a series of tasks that the next person must have for their character. There can be as few as 2 or as many as 6. After the writer makes the character, they add a new challenge for the next character. Also tagging @kitkatcookie @I_meme_it @lemon_swirlxx @avenmaide @TeaJay @Sophie_sawriter @autumn.leaves @moonwriteen @chamwue but anyone is welcome to play!

Acceptable challenge task ideas
  • Interests.
  • Appearance.
  • Talents.
  • Pets.
  • Anything involving their culture or origin.
  • Gender.
  • Sexuality.
  • How they feel about the above character. However you cannot force the next person to make their character too unlikable that they are a terrible person and/or incapable of having any point of view the readers could understand/relate to.
  • Interactions, such as “Next character must be in the Design Club”, "Next character recently caused a minor conflict with (other character), “Next character has been feeling very proud lately”, etc.
  • You may also say that the character shares any of the similarities above with your character or any other characters in the game.
Please do not use these for challenge tasks
  • Anything too direct, like telling the next person what character they have to make next. This also includes making "Next character has to be named “(name)”. You can make a task “Next character has to be blood-related to this character” or “Next character cannot be blood-related to this character” but you may not say how the character has to be blood-related (or unrelated) to your character. You can make a task saying "Next character must have a (parent/child/sibling/cousin/grandparent/pet, etc.) but you cannot make it the reverse of your character (Example: Making a mother character and making the next task “Next character must have a mother” because it would imply the challenger was trying to make the next player make her child.)

  • Anything that’s a sensitive topic that would require a warning. You can still write about sensitive topics but please do not make the next person have to write a sensitive topic for the challenge. Doesn’t matter if the topic is something that doesn’t require blurs or if it’s simply “Next character must have a sensitive topic in their bio”. Nobody should be forced into writing something they aren’t comfortable writing about.

  • Anything that involves health or life status. Doesn’t matter if the next character is young or old. You can’t force people to make terminally ill, sickly, or disabled characters for a challenge task no matter the severity. You also can’t tell people to make a deceased or missing character. Conversely, you also cannot make the next person’s character be alive and well either. Again these topics can be discussed in the game but can’t be forced in challenges.

  • Anything too picky to the point that the person below can’t have freedom in writing their character. This isn’t “Picky Parents” and the character still technically belongs to the person below. Also you can’t cheat and make your tasks something like “1. The character below has to be a young adult, Swedish, male, loves biking, works at a pizzeria, and has a horse. 2. The character below has to have a name shorter than 6 letters, be gay, have blue eyes, be enemies with another character in the game, be a triplet, and be an expert snowboarder.” That would be 12 tasks, not 2 and would be over limit. Even if it is within limit, each task has to be separated.

Iffy - may be okay in some cases but not always
  • Deciding the age range of the character below yours. It could come off as too direct (Example: if the two above characters had a baby and someone were to make a challenge task be “The next character must be 1 or under” then it could pass off as too direct and like the challenger is trying to make the person below create their baby) which would not be allowed. However you can say whether the next character is or isn’t within the age range of your character in a task if you want.

  • Deciding name of character below. You can’t directly choose the name of the character that the next person is naming. However if your challenge involves them being from a certain culture, having the person below name them from that culture is fine. Not saying a name but saying a character’s name has to mean “(meaning)” is also allowed. If a character is already named but doesn’t have a bio, it is the character creator’s choice whether to make that bio, not the challenger’s choice. You also can’t directly choose the next character’s last name but you can say they are “in the same family as (other related characters)”

Now since this is the first post, I have no challenge for my character to meet but the next person will be challenged and make a challenge for the next person, so on and so forth.

[name_f]Selphie[/name_f] graduated her class’ valedictorian and was offered a full scholarship for her dream college, [name_u]Duke[/name_u], but due to family struggles decided to stay home in Kentucky to help with her father’s farm. [name_f]Selphie[/name_f] was never afraid to get her hands dirty and quite enjoyed working with the animals her father kept (chickens, goats, & even a small pond full of ducks), but always dreamed of getting her medical degree & becoming a pediatric nurse.

When she was 24 she married the man of her dreams and moved into the home of her dreams. Her husband took on her work at her father’s farm freeing up time for her to go back to school, but when she got unexpectedly pregnant she realized she would have to wait a while longer.

She has always been a fan of Selphie’s pets and loves that the farm is ethical and uses cage-free eggs and the cows are only grass-fed. People mistake her for vegetarian or vegan but she is actually just an ethical meat-eater and does not eat meat from companies who don’t use cage-free eggs or misfeed or overfeed cows or torture their animals. However she says she may go vegetarian or vegan later if she wishes and wants people to be able to make their own choices with what they eat. She doesn’t wear real fur and donates to a lot of animal charities but is smart and knows PETA is a corrupt company who is very hateful and kills stray dogs and cats and strongly opposes them. [name_f]Shanna[/name_f] considers [name_f]Selphie[/name_f] a friend and not just a co-worker and [name_f]Selphie[/name_f] tells her all about the farm and lets her visit. [name_f]Shanna[/name_f] considers herself too young to be a parent and is not expecting children anytime soon but likes seeing [name_f]Selphie[/name_f] and her husband’s children, knowing they are going to grow up being great people of the future.

Secretly, their favorite student is one of Selphie’s children.

Lux has a soft spot for children, which many people do not expect due to their tough exterior. They are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child with their partner. The couple plans on raising their child as gender-neutral as possible. Their biggest hope for the child is that they have a love of music.

[name_u]Holden[/name_u] “Denny” [name_f]Betty[/name_f] [name_m]Lyall[/name_m] (17) is a part time employee at 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘋𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, a thrift store around the corner from her favorite coffee shop, and a full time high school student. She has often run into [name_u]Lux[/name_u], [name_f]Shanna[/name_f], and/or [name_f]Selphie[/name_f] on her way to work.

[name_u]Holden[/name_u] has never been the most popular girl in school, but is pretty well known around the halls, especially since she helped the Frankfort High Mallards win the state cheerleading championship. She usually gets okay grades, mostly 𝘉’𝘴 & 𝘊’𝘴, but excels at [name_u]Science[/name_u] which she loves.

After her mom & dad announced their divorce just 2 hrs before her friends from the cheerleading squad arrived for her 15𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘻𝘢 her mother jetted off to [name_u]Paris[/name_u] to “find her inner peace” and has since fallen in love with a handsome [name_u]French[/name_u] yogi. [name_u]Denny[/name_u] now lives with her older sister & her boyfriend and can not wait until she moves into her dorm at the University of Kentucky next fall. [name_u]Denny[/name_u] has tried multiple times during the last couple years to convince her father to let her move into his new loft in [name_m]Nashville[/name_m], but to no avail. [name_u]Denny[/name_u] has a sneaking suspicion that he has somebody new as well.

Denny’s sister has not been totally supportive of her sexuality. [name_u]Ever[/name_u] since she came out as bisexual last year her sister has been less than kind and ever since she found out she was pregnant she has been acting even more crass. She says it’s the pregnancy hormones, but [name_u]Denny[/name_u] is positive it’s because she feels as though [name_u]Denny[/name_u] is cramping her style and just taking up space now that there is a baby on the way.

[name_u]Denny[/name_u] tries to spend most of her time outside of the house spending time with her (secret) crush & their siblings who are in a band (the oldest of which works alongside [name_u]Lux[/name_u] at the music store). She likes to watch their band rehearsals in the garage and has seriously considered asking [name_u]Lux[/name_u] for guitar lessons. When the band is not practicing they will usually go outside and toss around a football or she’ll sneak upstairs with her crush to watch y2k Disney movies together.

[name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_m]West[/name_u] (16) is Denny’s friend and also on the cheer squad. She is also Vienna’s half-sister and loves to video-chat her, bonding well when they see each other but live in different states so in-person visits aren’t frequent. She understands what it’s like for a divorced parent to remarry and find someone new but being the younger half-sibling, sharing a father but having different mother, she doesn’t quite know Denny’s experience and realises [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] was only a baby when her parents divorced.

[name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] is a supporter of the LGBTQIAP+ community but is still questioning her sexuality after crushing on boys for the longest time but starting to crush on two of the girls in her math class. She gets along with Denny and the cheerleaders but likes them all as friends. Her true talent is beatboxing which has intrigued her since she was 11 and gets a lot of her talent from YouTube videos but also created some of her own sounds and rhythms. Some say it’s impressive, some say it’s cool, some say it’s geeky, but [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] will always love it. She sometimes likes to join in the band with her beatboxing skills when she’s around Denny’s secret crush and siblings, but isn’t always around and isn’t an official member, nor does she know [name_u]Denny[/name_u] secretly likes a member. [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] personally loves it and despite being from different mothers, they still want to be close. [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] stays out of other families’ drama but wishes Denny’s sister was a better sister and has told [name_u]Denny[/name_u] that.

[name_f]Alabama[/name_f] “Bam” [name_u]Zooey[/name_u] [name_u]Corrigan[/name_u] (17) is a fellow student at Frankfort High.

Due to Bam’s bold hair color and personal style most see her as very outgoing, brave, & sociable but truthfully she prefers to stay out of the spotlight and is content with being alone or with a small group of close friends.

After [name_f]Alabama[/name_f] came out as bisexual in middle school she couldn’t turn a corner or walk into a classroom without being made fun of or bullied, so when her 2 (now) best friends approached her at the “loser table” in the cafeteria and offered their alliance and shoulders to cry on it was (platonic) love at first sight.

Bam has had multiple classes with [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f], but most recently has been assigned a seat beside her in math class. Bam actually finds [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] quite cute and according to 2 little birdies [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] may feel the same which excites her a little. Her friends often pick on her for her new little crush, but she has to remind them to stay quite because she doesn’t feel as though her boyfriend will be excited about her newest discovery…

She and Bam used to not be so close due to the decade-long age difference and she used to grow up treating Bam like a baby due to it. She feels bad now and is trying her hardest to help Bam and is a supporting ally to her. [name_f]Zona[/name_f] loves vintage 1950s-inspired style and enjoys wearing it and decorating her home with it. She and Bam have very different styles but one thing rings true for both - their bold reds. Still, [name_f]Zona[/name_f] misses having a younger person to “baby” and feel like a parental figure to, and is now very close with Selphie’s children. She made Selphie’s oldest daughter a poodle skirt which the family thinks is adorable but feels she will never wear it but Selphie’s oldest daughter has proven the family wrong and the poodle skirt is one of her favourite skirts.

Lexington “ Lexi ” Marius Birch (23) is April’s partner and mutual friend of the group. They like the coincidental fact that Danielle and April have the middle name Marie and they and Jake have the middle name Marius. They call their friend group MariMiddles despite how corny it is to have a group name but doesn’t mind if the others don’t use the name. April uses it though and loves Lexi’s corny humour mainly because April is a jokester as well. The relationship is very strong and mutually healthy and neither would want to date anyone else. Lexi is proudly non-binary with them/they pronouns and is pansexual. Lexi is an only child but has lots of cousins. Lexi loves tattoos and has a sleeve of them on their right arm along with a tattoo on their chest and another tattoo on their left arm — soon to be another sleeve. Lexi attends nursing school with their friend Chase.

Chase was created by me.

Next challenge:

Must be older than April and Lexi, but within the same range.

Must be LGBTQUIAP+.

Must be close with both their parents.
