Yes, this thread will take place 10 years in the past so it’s 2013 here, not 2023. The Create a Pregnancy game goes back into the past all the time and it ever happens in these threads so… don’t hate, appreciate! 
[name_f]Chloé[/name_f] [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (24) is Sophia’s sister, who’s just enjoying life one day at a time and also agrees with the environmental aspect. She agrees to help stop global warming and is mostly level-headed, although she’s too hopeful about the idea that more people will be trying to change it and believing no one will call it a “hoax” within the next decade. [name_f]Chloé[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] currently reside in [name_u]England[/name_u], although [name_f]Chloé[/name_f] is considering moving to [name_m]Wales[/name_m]. She actually wanted to do this for a Welsh university she wanted to attend but was unfortunately not accepted into her dream university. She finds the silver lining that she gets to be closer with her family but she still wants to pursue her dreams. She’s great at piano as well, but doesn’t like to be watched while she’s playing due to nervousness. She’s currently working for an electronics repair shop, where she’s helped fix devices. She’s refurbished her old phone a dozen times rather than just getting a new one and although her phone looks very dated, she’s assuring it works like a charm! She’s still very proud of being anti-phone waste and supports disposing those materials properly. Also, she makes sure to use safer materials in repairs for this reason, alongside making sure things last. She and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] are close and have lots of bonding activties.

[name_f]Carla[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] [45] is the girls’ mother. The two girls did not get their economical wary ways from her, as she is quite the opposite. She often litters, and does thing that does not support the environment in the slightest, something that bothers both her daughters greatly. She just doesn’t care enough, and it’s something that probably contributed to the girls’ persistence in protecting the environment.
[name_f]Carla[/name_f] is a dentist, and she is rather rough with her patients when their teeth are bad, because she is particular about teeth. She always told her children to brush their teeth multiple times a day because she believes a good smile makes a good person. She told them they had to brush their teeth every hour on the hour, something that she does herself, almost in an OCD fashion. Carla’s youngest child, her son, took this into account the most seeing as he now does this. [name_f]Carla[/name_f] has a hard time at work sometimes, because she wants to constantly brush her teeth even when she’s working. But she is a good dentist and she doesn’t brush while she’s on the job, but at home and during breaks she makes sure to brush every hour on the hour.
[name_f]Carla[/name_f] is definitely a strange woman. She brushes her teeth too much, doesn’t care about the environment, sings random songs throughout the day. One time when she was doing dental work on someone she started singing about it, and the patient thought it was really strange. Luckily though, she does have a rather nice voice. [name_f]Carla[/name_f] didn’t raise her kids horribly, she cares about them and is a support towards them now, even if they disagree with her a lot about a lot of things. She’s just got a few loose screws, but she cares about her family a lot.

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_m]Theomund[/name_m] [Sender] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (45) is Carla’s husband and the father of the three [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] children; [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Chloé[/name_f], and their son. He works for a car wash service in the same shopping centre as his wife Carla’s dentistry. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and his older brother joke that the shopping centre they work at is pretty bleak – it’s full of boring stuff people could use if they wanted but don’t attract a lot of excitement for people to go to. No big anchor stores, clothing stores, or restaurants. There’s a car wash, dentistry, optometry, dry cleaners, post office, repair shop, a pet supplies store, a mattress store, two separate crusty old doughnut shops that are impractically built next to each other, and one 24hr convenience store. People out of town usually come here when they’re bored of driving and leave even more bored. Sometimes they just come only to ask for directions and then leave. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] feels awkward when he sees people outside the U.K. visit the shopping centre because he feels it’s making them look bad to outsiders. The parking lots have overflowing trash bins with litter on the streets, which may not be a problem for [name_f]Carla[/name_f] and [name_u]Blair[/name_u], but their daughters definitely would see differently. Some of the places there still give out newspapers. Blair’s brother is also working there in the pet supplies store which all the kids like going to but then get very let down when there’s not even any pets, just supplies for the pets. But hey, adopt don’t shop.
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_f]Carla[/name_f] are happy with just three children and their son may be the best with keeping his teeth sparkly clean, which is why [name_u]Blair[/name_u] enjoys Carla’s charisma. He and [name_f]Carla[/name_f] are happy to be married despite doing their marriage so young, before Blair’s older brother even got married. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] often talks to his family and tries to keep as good of a connection with them as he can, alongside Carla’s side. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] has a relatively typical time on his days off, watching TV and napping. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] is quite geeky and loves to remodel and fix things, even if the first thing he wants to remodel is the shopping centre. The house has a nice kitchen and living room but ironically he and Carla’s bedroom isn’t super revamped. They can’t imagine not being able to sleep in their own bed even if it’s just until the bedroom is shaped up! He and [name_f]Carla[/name_f] are both a little weird and they find it okay, accepting the weird quirks in everybody.

[name_m]Aidan[/name_m] [name_m]Harris[/name_m] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (23) is the youngest of [name_f]Blair[/name_f] and Carlas’ children, and brother to [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloé[/name_f], who’s following in his mum’s footsteps, studying dentistry. He isn’t sure if he’d like to take over her business some day, but it’s a genuine passion that’s prompted him to go down this path, not some unfair pressure or expectation - as he’s been asked by some of his friends’. [name_m]Aidan[/name_m] knows their questions aren’t accusing and they’re just from a place of caring, which is how he handles them pretty well.
Like his sister [name_f]Chloé[/name_f], [name_m]Aidan[/name_m] has a passion for travel, although he went a bit further afield after getting his A-Level’s. He went travelling across Southeast [name_f]Asia[/name_f] with two of his best friends and actually met his long-term girlfriend while on this trip. She’s Vietnamese-Australian and the two clicked at a hostel they were staying at, with their groups joining together for future travels, during which time Aidan’s feelings for her went from platonic to romantic. It took a while for him to admit his feelings, something he jokingly blames his sisters’ for - as they’d always speak up for him - but when he did, it became obvious they were returned.
Six months ago, Aidan’s girlfriend moved to the UK from Queensland, although the couple aren’t living together yet. With the stresses of his studies and her own career in broadcasting being so hectic, they know it would be too much coming together yet, unless they just wanted to argue. Instead they live about a 20 minute drive apart and spend time together as much as possible, which makes [name_m]Aidan[/name_m] happiest - even if it means family dinners with his overtly quirky parents.

[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] " [name_m]Jet[/name_m] " Thi [name_m]Doan[/name_m] (23) is Aidan’s girlfriend who recently relocated from Queensland to the UK. People tend to assume this was primarily to be closer to her boyfriend, but that’s actually not the full story: Jet’s decision stemmed from being offered a job at a vegan marketing company, combining both her ethical and dietary preferences with a chance at being closer to [name_m]Aidan[/name_m] geographically. She’s still technically an hour away on the train but the couple meet whenever possible, sometimes spending time with the Thompsons’ instead of just being together, as actually knowing Aidan’s family is important to him and [name_m]Jet[/name_m], given the closeness he shares with his parents and sister.
Something she worried about in their early days as a couple was seeming bossy or demanding, as [name_m]Jet[/name_m] is someone who likes order. She actually has ADD, and that’s why planning her days is important, as otherwise she finds getting things done tricky at best; which is ironic as people tend to expect the opposite of her. There’s also the fact [name_m]Jet[/name_m] grew up with two younger siblings who couldn’t agree on anything - debating was their mutual calling she jokes - so being prepared to give her parents a break from the back and forth has also crafted her approach to life.
Recently, [name_m]Jet[/name_m] has been deliberating inviting [name_m]Aidan[/name_m] to spend [name_f]Christmas[/name_f] with her family back in Australia, however she’s not quite certain about it as she worries it might be a huge ask of him, especially as it would mean not being with his parents and sisters. Although introducing him to her familial culture and heritage is meaningful to [name_m]Jet[/name_m], she also knows how Aidan’s selfless to a fault and would agree in the fear of upsetting her…so she’s considered maybe asking his mum or dad first to make sure they’re happy with the request being issued. In the mean time she’s caught up in trying to persuade her brother from visiting, as she has a feeling he’s trying to avoid studies he’s not enjoying and doesn’t want him to travel instead of making a decision to positively shape his future.

cw: shitty ex-boyfriend abound!
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Stella[/name_f] ’ Ngan Doan (20) is Jet’s sister and the youngest sibling, one half of the “natural born debaters” as she and her brother were nicknamed by their older sister. A little ironically, [name_f]Stella[/name_f] ended up fully embracing this, becoming co-captain of her high school debate team and now belonging to the debate society at QUT, where she’s majoring in Creative Industries. Although she debated going elsewhere for graphic design, [name_f]Stella[/name_f] ultimately wanted to fully explore a manner of pathways for her expression and development, having learned some of Jet’s planning techniques as she’s grown up, wanting to think ahead.
The other motivating factor is Stella’s ex-boyfriend chose this major, and she’d really rather avoid any crossover between them for the time being. After they broke up, he took out his frustrations by insisting [name_f]Stella[/name_f] had never cared about him and he labelled her as cold-hearted. Really this was because he was upset by how she handled the breakup well, acknowledging they weren’t right together and wishing him the best, but she suspects he wanted her to beg for a reunion and swear they needed to keep fighting. It just wasn’t right and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] knows ultimately they would’ve absolutely crashed and burned if they tried to salvage their failing connection.
There’s also the fact [name_f]Stella[/name_f] admits she’s someone who tends to value platonic relationships before romantic one’s, at least in the cases of her exes. She’s not blind to her own faults - see her terrible texting wait time - but also is derensive of her friendships and doesn’t believe in always dismissing all for a new partner: [name_m]Jet[/name_m] never did this when she met [name_m]Aidan[/name_m], so why should it be different for her sister? Being single right now is working out best for [name_f]Stella[/name_f], although she’s noticed her brother’s been acting strangely himself (not that he opens up easily).
