Monty Family Bios

The Monty family are not an ancient legacy with their name scattered through Sim Nation’s history. Patrizio and Isabella Monty made their fortune themselves from llama ranching, their restaurant, and other activities on the side that you can’t tie them to through anything but circumstantial evidence. For the Montys family comes first, hence everyone takes the feud so seriously and moved back into the ranch to protect each other. On the one hand this means no Monty ever has to stand alone, and they always have someone to help them. On the other hand, this means the pressure to put the family’s wellbeing and pride before your own interests in immense. Eventually they’ll have to choose between those two conflicting features of being a close family.

Capp Family Bios

 

The Capps are the only family in Sim State that can give the Goths or the Landgraabs a run for their money in experience with being a legacy. They founded The Veronaville School many generations ago which stands today as the most famous private school in Sim State, with a waiting list as long as Capp Manor’s grand entrance. The Capp name is involved in every imaginable business venture, from Belladonna Cove’s waterfront development to electronic stores in Bluewater Village. So naturally Juliette Capp and her siblings are set to inherit more money than they’ll ever need. Lately though they’ve been distracted by their feud with the Montys and an internal power struggle resulting from the early death of Cordelia Capp - heiress to the fortune. Their economic domination of Sim State business seems to be little more than side entertainment. 
 

Consort Capp

Personality: Scorpio, 9/4/6/4/2, Science hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Fortune/Knowledge (I want those skill point wants!)

LTW: Earn 100,000
Degree: Economics

After Cordelia and Caliban died, Consort took Juliette and her siblings into Capp Manor as his wards (Note the word ‘wards’, not ‘orphaned grandchildren’.) before the news had even broken in the morning paper. Consort appears the quintessential Capp. You’d be forgiven for forgetting he actually married into this family, and for not noticing that he’s more than a little of a golddigger obsessed with getting more money than he’ll ever need. Not many people even think to question why an outsider is now the de-facto head of one of the most powerful families in the county. What a head he is too. Consort overcompensates for his outsider status and keeps such tight control of the family he almost strangles them in it. Consort is the main driving force behind the Capp side of the feud, and he thinks he’s taught his grandchildren to share his views on Montys… among other things.
 

Tybalt Capp

Personality: Gemini, 5/8/6/4/2, Music Hobby

Aspiration: Popularity

LTW: Become The Law

You’d be hard pressed to find a person who won’t, at least, describe Tybalt as ‘abrasive’ if not ‘a real dick’. But it wasn’t always so. Sure he’s always been grumpy but when his parents were still alive he at least seemed to take some joy in life. He’s the only one of his siblings with enough memories of them to feel their absence daily - Hermia and Juliette were too young to remember them perfectly. Since their deaths he’s refused to trust a single Monty, and become over-protective of his sisters. But even if he thinks he has good intentions, he’s still driving away his own potential happiness as well as his sisters. Really, it’s not healthy to be angry with a boy because he dares to be fun to talk to and handsome. And there’s a point where ‘protecting your sisters and your own heart’ crosses into ‘interfering and being a douche’.

 

Juliette Capp

Personality: Cancer, 4/7/3/7/4, Games Hobby

Aspiration: Family

LTW: Graduate 3 Children From College

Juliette seems like a Sim Nation Sweetheart: kind, top of her class, good at sports, far too sweet for her family’s antics. But don’t fall for the soft red hair and gentle blush, she’s not just Consort’s favourite grandchild because she’s adorable. She’s the craftiest and most tactical of her siblings, well suited to being the heir of a business empire. However she is genuinely goodhearted and playful, you can always have fun with Juliette. As long as you don’t plan to screw her over or get in her way you won’t bring out her angry side, and you have nothing to worry about. Right now her number one concern is Romeo Monty, who she’s very much in love with, and devising a plan to bring this feud to an end without upsetting the family she loves. She and Tybalt might clash over the feud, but they still matter to each other. So far only Hermia seems willing to put her happiness ahead of the feud, but with the right business proposal any Capp can be swayed.

 

Hermia Capp

Personality: Virgo, 6/3/7/4/5, Arts and Crafts Hobby

Aspiration: Family (lmao will change in college)

LTW: Reach Golden Anniversary

Hermia is quiet, a seemingly odd quality in a Capp but there’s actually one in every generation. (Last time it was Regan.) If Tybalt is their generation’s attack dog, Juliette is their leader, and Miranda is their rebel, then Hermia is their brains. However this does mean she’s reached the logical conclusion that though she does love her siblings, she’ll be happiest distancing herself from the… Capp brand so to speak. That’s why she’s aligned herself with the Summerdreams. A family of creative souls with a supernatural mystery surrounding them, totally neutral in the feud? Sign her up! Right now though she IS living with her family, and spends most of her time secretly coordinating with Mercutio Monty to do damage control / prevent their families starting anything stupid. She just wants her siblings to be happy, but without an end to the feud that seems unlikely.

 

Summerdream Family Bios

 

The Summerdreams have lived in Veronaville since before anybody can remember. The townsfolk recall a long chain of women who all looked exactly like Titania, and now Titania herself. Clearly the latest in a line of women with strong genes and not an immortal fairy re-inventing herself every few years or so and using her magic to create the illusion of an aging family. They are lovers of the stage who put on regular plays in their purpose-built garden theater; it’s one of the few sources of entertainment in Veronaville. Though Titania has been trying to use her magic to ease the mood in Veronaville and protect the youth, the return of Oberon to her domain as well as adopting two fairly human children has stretched her in many directions.
 

 

Titania Summerdream

Personality: Sagittarius, 3/6/2/7/7, Arts & Crafts Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Family/Romance

LTW: Reach Golden Anniversary
Degree: All

Titania lived here before even the forest had conquered the landscape and she will live here long after the the next sim families change the land again. Though she has occasionally wandered - once to Belladonna Cove to live among the witches, once to Magic Town, and once to assist a clan of fairies to establish themselves in Moonlight Falls. (Or at least, she lived in those spaces that now have these new names) Veronaville is her heart though and if she spends too long away from it the markings on her cheeks begin to fade. The arrogance of the Montys and Capps to assume this town belongs to them when she feels it’s very energy almost makes her laugh. Naturally pre-disposed towards kindness and love, Titania acts as the neutral diplomat in Veronaville’s feud.

Oberon Summerdream

Personality: Sagittarius, 4/7/1/6/7, Film and Literature Hobby (changed)

Aspiration/Secondary: Knowledge/Pleasure

LTW: Become Hand of Poseidon 
Degree: Numerous

Oberon has only recently returned from his wandering adventures: seeing sights from around the globe, playing tricks on as many sims as possible, and spreading magic as he went. Though restlessness is a chronic fairy trait and he and Titania have always had a very relaxed relationship, wandering off to experience another place whenever they feel like it, Oberon’s had more than his fill of wandering. The only reason it took so long is that he’s not very active, preferring to stay in one place for long periods of time before moving on again. Now he’s trying to fit into the changed shape of the household and relate to Bottom and Puck, while also trying to understand what went wrong in Veronaville while he was away. He’s doing what he can to help Titania protect the families from themselves. It’s a bumpy road, but at least editing videos keeps him happy.

 

Puck Summerdream

Personality: Taurus, 7/2/6/2/8, Tinkering Hobby

Aspiration: Popularity

LTW: Become Media Magnate

Puck always feels like he doesn’t belong here. No, really, he doesn’t. He’s only been affected with the essence of fairy magic because Titania has adopted him and welcomed him into her domain, in reality he’s very mortal and very serious about life in contrast to his family. Once he’s grown up he fully intends to return to mortal life. He’s more concerned with mortal problems and mortal people than any of the fairy magic, he wants to invent and help sims live better lives… with Hermia. Another reason he prefers the mortal life, he doesn’t want to watch her or his friends die. He hasn’t told Titania any of this of course, because he doesn’t know how to tell his mother she’ll see him age and die. The quiet retreat from other sims is a good thing though, and he hopes to keep the spirit of the Summerdream house in his own future home one day. 

 

Bottom Summerdream

Personality: Leo, 3/6/7/4/5, Music & Dance Hobby

Bottom is mischievous. Perhaps that would be a problem for another child but as a fairy it means she’s excelling! Unlike Puck she feels much more suited to Titania’s domain than the life of a normal sim. The music accompanying the Summerdream plays is usually provided by Bottom who enjoys both the piano and the violin. She’d also play bass if Titania would let her have one. Growing up surrounded by nature and the message to just have fun, the feud and all other concerns feel very far away for Bottom.

 

Capp Family Bios - 2

 

f you think Goneril’s branch family seem the perfect family unit, then they’ve served their purpose to the Capp lineage well. The elder Capps were thrilled to finally find a use for Goneril as a face of Capp wealth and traditional values, and Albany… well. Let’s just say Albany Capp has pulled the ultimate bluff. On the surface, Goneril is a working mother living in the luxury of the Capp fortune, Albany is a doting father, they have three wonderful children and one teenager going through a short rebellious phase. The reality is very different. Goneril is restless and screaming behind a painted on smile, scared to look at the camera in pictures lest the suffering show in her eyes. Albany is scheming against his wife’s family, Miranda is cracking under the pressure of knowing too many Capp secrets, Hal and Desdemona are unwitting pawns in the family’s inheritance struggle, and little Ariel is passed between her parents like a heavy bag of shopping.
 

 

Goneril Capp

Personality: Capricorn, 8/4/3/5/5, Cuisine Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Fortune/Pleasure

LTW: Own Five Top Level Businesses
Degree: Economics

Goneril, though you wouldn’t think it now because she’d never allow her image to be damaged, was the black sheep of the Capp family growing up. Cordelia was the heir to the manor and the business, as well as the attack dog when she needed to be. Regan was the brains. Kent made peace with being unneeded and overlooked from a young age. Goneril… She’s tried to get out of this family at least twice, not counting her five second bolt when Albany proposed. Never enough. Too messy, good grades but not AMAZING grades, feelings for girls that her family never condemned but certainly didn’t encourage. The Capps were too happy to marry her off and, putting all the lessons Contessa gave her and all the lectures Consort gave her into practice, Goneril has become something of a Capp window display at the cost of her own energy and personality. Still, all this time spent crafting her own appearance has made her possibly the most formidable of the surviving Capp siblings. Though she doesn’t know the full extent of Albany’s scheme, she’s as armed to the teeth as any Capp for a battle of wits. After all, the only purpose in life is to serve the family… right?
 

 

Albany Capp

Personality: Aries, 9/8/6/1/1, Science Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Family/Fortune

LTW: Graduate 3 Children From College
Degree: Mathematics

Albany loves his family! Or, to be precise, he loves their family name. He loves the status his children afford him as a Capp relative. He loves the power in the family name. Everybody thinks he’s a doting father who can’t get enough children. What he really wants are back-ups for his plan, a stronger tie to the Capp blood, more status, always more chances to leave a dynasty behind him. The Capp heiress is fraternizing with a Monty (his telescope isn’t just for the stars, and he doesn’t stay at home just for one toddler) her sister has no interest in the family, and her brother… well he’s not set to inherit anyway, but even if Consort dares to go against the ancient Capp legacy Albany has a few ideas. There’s an opportunity in the Capp’s inheritance squabble and together with his old friend Cornwall he intends to take advantage. It’s just ensuring his children, HIS family, get the best in life.
 

 

Miranda Capp

Personality: Cancer, 6/5/3/3/8, Science Hobby

Aspiration: Romance

LTW: Have 20 Simultaneous Lovers

Miranda’s not mean, she’s cynical. Why is she cynical? Because she knows exactly what her father is up to and she doesn’t care for it. Mom just doesn’t understand, she’s just another Capp and Miranda often wonders how they’re related. (She’d be surprised at their similarities if she saw Goneril’s teen years.) Still, she’s nice to her siblings and cousins, and people who aren’t involved with Veronaville, and even Montys though Mercutio is a little too uptight about keeping the feud steady for her liking. Don’t let appearances fool you, she wouldn’t hurt a fly and people who judge her by appearance are exactly the kind of people she wants to piss off.
 

 

Hal Capp

Personality: Aries, 4/8/5/3/5, Music Hobby

Hal’s really confused about his life. Mom says that because he’s a boy in a Capp branch family he has the advantage of almost no expectations, but his parents still pile expectations on! He’s supposed to go to private school, he’s supposed to get good grades, he’s supposed to appear refined. Dad even talks to him like he’s a Capp heir sometimes. So if Hal’s a little snappy, it’s only because he’s not sure what everybody wants from him. Is he supposed to forge his own path or be a Capp?

Desdemona Capp

Personality: Taurus, 7/5/4/5/4, Science Hobby

Desdemona is easily missed in the chaos of the house, but that’s okay with her! She’s just as happy learning about the world around her as she is while playing. She kind of hopes the family will continue to overlook her so she can continue studying the plants in the family garden. Being a Capp sounds like so much work, they never learn new things! They just stick to the same old things and never look for new evidence or inventive approaches.
 

 

Ariel Capp

Personality: Sagittarius, 2/5/7/6/5, Nature Hobby

Ariel is a toddler, and spends most of her days in the garden with Albany as he tries to keep the leaves in order. A job which would be a lot easier if she’d stop playing in them.

 

Capp Family Bios - 3

 

Things are… a little tense. Regan and Cornwall are dedicated to their careers and take pride in keeping commitments. Kent is recently unemployed and has no plans to find a new job. But with their sister’s death still hitting so hard Regan and Kent have been inspired to make this work. They both want to at least try and smooth over their relationship that’s never been especially good. Unfortunately, Cornwall and Kent aren’t making that any easier with their constant fighting.
 

 

Regan Capp

Personality: Virgo, 8/3/6/3/5, Science hobby

Aspiration: Fortune

LTW: Earn 100,000

Regan is ‘the brains’ of her generation and wants to make her own fortune off of those ‘brains’ and hard work. She has always had a good relationship with all but one of her siblings. Cordelia was easy to get along with, and though Goneril resented her higher grades she always seemed to see the two of them as united spares. Kent… is very different from Regan. While she enjoys the payoff from hard work, Kent enjoys not having to do hard work. Letting Kent stay with her is an olive branch but will it actually create more resentment in the long term? She and Cornwall are almost still newlyweds and Regan’s brother is already lounging on their sofa every day. They’ve been incredibly lucky to find a ‘suitable match’ their families approve of and still find happiness in each other. Why jeopardize that with stress?
 

 

Cornwall Capp

Personality: Virgo, 8/4/7/2/4, Science hobby.

Aspiration: Fortune

LTW: Own 5 Top Level Businesses

Cornwall is a man sims view differently depending on who they are. Intense paranoia makes him overly agreeable and kind to friends he wants to keep, and overly aggressive and defensive with those he doesn’t know or doesn’t like. A ‘yes man’ at a party and a bully with strangers. He grew up with Albany and has always been aware of his friend’s ambitions to leave behind a large family with a powerful name and legacy. He’s perfectly happy to support Albany in his ambitions, because his own ambition is to make his own money. Maybe that’s why he and Regan clicked so easily when they meet at Le Tour. Sure their house is a little more modest than Albany and Goneril’s but in time they’ll earn a bigger and better one by themselves. Cornwall dislikes Kent for what he perceives as his lack of ambition. He resents that while he’s had to put all his energy into being a perfect Capp to fit in as a spouse (though nobody asked him to…), Kent is a terrible Capp yet the family doesn’t punish him for it. 
 

Kent Capp

Personality: Aquarius, 6/6/2/4/7, Cuisine hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Knowledge / Pleasure

LTW: Max Out 7 Skills

Kent is definitely motivated! He’s just motivated to improve his knowledge of the world, not his job. He always got on better with Goneril than Regan since they were the two odd ones out in the family. However, Goneril has four kids and no spare rooms. Kent has always felt distant from his family, hence he takes no mind of the feud and has little idea of the current inheritance struggle. If it seems he isn’t ‘punished’ for being a bad Capp it’s only because he accepted a long time ago he would never mean much to his family. They can’t hurt him if he doesn’t care. He does resent Cornwall judging him though, and can’t help but roll his eyes at his brother-in-law’s overcompensation. Really, accusing everyone you meet of being a Monty spy is just overkill.
