Capp Family Bios - 2

[simhealing]

 

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.
