Curious Family Bios

[simhealing]

 

Though often credited as ‘town founders’ every generation of the Curious family has insisted this is an over-simplification of Strangetown’s origins. As the last of the original research team still living in Strangetown the Curious family ‘inherited’ the disused research lab and Glarn’s sons have converted it into a home/lab-away-from-lab. Though the Curious family has had the most experience with aliens, the brothers still know there’s more to learn about Sixam and are determined to know all they can and share it with the world. They often clash with the military base who are intent on containing ‘alien influence’ over the population. Sometimes, though it is mostly just Vidcund, they also clash with the Beakers who believe you should conduct science in your secret basement laboratory and keep it away from other sims like a civilized person. 

 

Lazlo Curious

Personality: Saggitarius, 0/9/2/9/5, Nature Hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Knowledge / Pleasure

LTW: Become Game Designer

Degree: “Phrenology” (Shhhh)

Lazlo is pretty chill, especially next to his brothers and their excessive passion for science. He never felt like he fitted in with them growing up, but he didn’t fit in with anyone else either. So it was either keep up with them or have nobody to talk to. It’s not that he isn’t as smart as them, it’s just he’d rather apply his intelligence elsewhere than petty squabbles with Loki Beaker over publishing in certain journals. With all the changes around - Johnny growing up, Pascal becoming a father - Lazlo is starting to re-evaluate his life. It’s just a question of whether he has the courage to become his own sim.

 

Vidcund Curious

Personality: Scorpio, 10/1/7/4/3, Science Hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Knowledge / Romance

LTW: Become Education Minister

Degree: Biology

Vidcund was voted Most Likely To Die Alone in his final yearbook. Circe was yearbook editor. Decide for yourself if those two things were related, either way the vote has turned out to be correct thus far. Despite Vidcund’s best efforts he just can’t find anyone. When he’s not overthinking his non existent love life, he’s working in the lab. It’s his sole hobby, interest, love, etc. Currently his experiments revolve around trying to recreate the foliage resistance to desert environments that PT9 has seemingly given his plants. All attempts at reverse-engineering the chemical PT9 used on his lawn have failed, but experiments with said chemical have given Vidcund a pleasant greenhouse. He’s starting to lose interest in this and gain interest in alien abductions. Loki can’t be better than him if he’s got an actual alien baby. 

 

Pascal Curious

Personality: Scorpio, 10/5/5/0/5, Science Hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Knowledge / Family

LTW: Max Out Seven Skills

Degree: Physics

Pascal has had his thoughts unexpectedly diverted from science. Between unexpected fatherhood, being the oldest and most responsible brother in the house, and the mysterious ‘Nervous’ he’s had things beyond books to focus on for the first time in… maybe ever. Vidcund’s preoccupation with ‘studying’ the child is making him angrier than he thought it would, and he’s become slightly paranoid about General Grunt finding out. But he remains certain there’s a rational explanation for everything and a logical response to any situation. Life has been confusing and stressful of late but he knows the answers to his problems exist somewhere.
