"I Thought The Life Of A Plebeian Was Supposed To Be Difficult..."
The Twins
As They Are Now
My plebeians are working class; they get to live in the city but their abode is pretty humble and mere inches from neighbours either side. The quarters aren't exactly cramped with a family this small so they get off lucky, but when Ansgar gets a wife that'll change quick enough. As working class they are business owners - they are not allowed a job; the eldest male owns the business which will be passed on to the heir when he becomes an elder or when the heir is of adult age. They are given two double beds and a sofa; a bookshelf, a few candles for lights, an easel, a small kitchen with bench, pantry and sink, and because they just MUST go to the toilet every five seconds I ended up giving them a small toilet area too (inside with basin and mirror), but they must all attend the local "workers bath house" every day for bathing purposes. Once the house is set up their funds are set to $5000 and THEN they can start a home business and purchase items required.
As the Faulkner3 family is so small there wasn't a lot of drama going on - not that I minded after the last family (sheesh!) so it was relaxing to play a quiet lot for a change. The best part is the business (yay! businesses are back!) I wasn't hanging out for them or anything >_>.... To make it "interesting" I'm going to try and sell items that would be needed or believeable for the era, but have each family sell something different. The Faulkner's here are selling pottery; I gave them an easel to build up creativity in the hope they can soon make their own, in the meantime they are selling pretty custom ones created in far away places...*cough* parsimonious good stuff again.
Personality wise this family get along great - Ludwig is like a little kid, but calm, he doesn't throw tantrums, though he did spend half the round fretting about wanting more kids (no!) as he wasn't rolling any decent "wants" for me to lock =/ Ansgar is just like his mother - he's calm, dedicated without being too serious, and loves caring for and looking after his little sisters - who are the BEST twin girls I have EVER had, seriously, I wish they were real so I could have them ;_; (not creepy at all!). As for the next generation - Ansgar fell in love at first sight with a friend's baby sister, she wasn't planned and I'm not entirely thrilled about it >_> but as she ages she is growing on me...*grumbles* and as I've just played her family I can admit she is probably the perfect partner for someone like Ansgar, but it will probably be Round 15 before I can *cough* morally put them together *tongue in cheek* Besides, Ansgar isn't adult for another week *lol!* I can control myself...honest.
