Broke Family Bios

[simhealing]

 

The Brokes are essentially invisible to most of Pleasantview, until they get in someone’s way. With a view from their trailer of the Pleasantview Land Development Project’s newly built up commercial district, sprawling ever outward as if trying to envelop them, the Brokes are all too aware that right now just existing puts them in people’s way. But who has the time to worry about that when you’re a new single mother with more immediate concerns?

 

Brandi Broke

Personality: Aries, 3/6/4/6/6, Arts and Crafts

Aspiration/Secondary: Family/Popularity (Thanks random number gen…)

LTW: Graduate 3 Children From College

Degree: None

Brandi is one of the kindest people around. She can be a bit impulsive and act without thinking, that’s just one reason she married and settled down so young. She did love Skip though and is a devoted mother who has settled into a more responsible role. Sometimes she wishes she could get out of the house more but she honestly prefers looking after Beau and Dustin to the nights out Dina and Nina constantly try to badger her into coming on. She wants better for her children and has put Skip’s life insurance aside for their college funds, but she wishes Dustin wasn’t so… loud about his ambitions. She doesn’t want him to get in any trouble for it.

 

Dustin Broke

Personality: Aries 3/6/4/6/6, Nature Hobby

Aspiration: Fortune

LTW: Become Head of SCIA

Alright, first of all, you’d be ‘angsty’ too if you were living in a suburb like Pleasantview full of upper middle-class and flat-out Rich people who constantly look down on you for how much money you have. Second of all,  Lilith put graffiti on the water tower with him and SHE didn’t get charged because she’s a Pleasant and her mum Knows People. If Dustin acts out it’s because he hates feeling so powerless, knowing the trailer he’s spent his entire life in could be sold away by some goofball he’s never met with the right simoleons. He's determined to become head of SCIA so nobody can make him feel small ever again, but he doesn’t want to become One Of Them either. He plans to change the corrupt system from the inside out. He takes after Brandi more than either of them realise, the only thing that divides them is that he’s pre-occupied with money while Brandi doesn’t mind as long as her family can be happy.

 

Beau Broke

Personality: Gemini, 6/7/4/3/5, Music + Dance Hobby

Beau is young but already seems a little different to the rest of his family. He’s far more serious and neat, never making the messes that Dustin did as a toddler, but he still retains the kindness that Brandi and Dustin (To those he trusts) are known for. He’s something of a musical prodigy, but please Nina Brandi is begging you not to buy him a recorder for his birthday.
