simhealing | Kim Family Bios

The Kim Family were probably the last remaining claim to fame Strangetown had. They just can’t understand why their ratings dropped off! Surely it was because when real honest to watcher aliens started showing up, their show just seemed dated or tacky next to the real thing. It’s definitely not because their production crew were still using cardboard sets, flickering film-rolls for backdrops, and a camera handed down from the 60s, in an age of technology and innovation. They had been hoping for a move to the city, like any self-respecting washed up tv star. Finding that too pricey for their new salaries, they’ve remained in what’s left of the once expansive Kim Family sets that drew people into Strangetown to gawk at. (The non cardboard one, the actual family home.) They’ve also been obliged to keep the pets, introduced in the final season as a desperate ratings gimmick.

Robert Kim

Personality: Gemini, 4 / 7 / 7 / 3 / 4, Sports Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Fortune / Popularity

LTW: Become The Law

Degree: Political Science

Robert bumbled into showbiz. He showed up to the wrong building for his interview and suddenly an eccentric dude was telling him he had the perfect face for his ‘next big project’. But hey, show business sounded fun, and when he met his co-star Cynthia he knew he had to stay. An on-set romance quickly became an off-set romance and, well, it’s never been easier for a show to incorporate a marriage and pregnancy into the story. That unexpected bonus let their show run twice as long as it really should have. Now it’s finally done though, he’s looking forward to pursuing his original dreams of Law.

Cynthia Kim

Personality: Aries, 4/7/6/4/4, Music and Dance Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Popularity / Pleasure

LTW: Have 20 Best Friends

Degree: Drama

Cynthia always knew she was destined for the stage. Now her career is basically over she’s determined not to remain out of work. That means a regular job, but she misses the performance, the adrenaline, the drama, the days when the robot maid broke down and everyone got the same feeling a class does when there’s a substitute teacher. She clawed her way into drama, not waltzing in like Robert did. It was her life. It consumed her. In fact, don’t tell Robert, but at first their relationship was a bit of a publicity stunt. Her hobbies include drinking wine, mocking other people to escape the cold feeling that her own life has already reached it’s peak, and generally doing her best imitation of an audition tape for celebrity big brother.

Justin Kim

Personality: Aries, 4/7/6/4/4, Fitness Hobby

Justin was born into showbiz. From the moment Cynthia knew she was pregnant, he was on TV. Now it’s gone he’s not sure how he’s supposed to live without it… or how normal people in general function. All he knows for sure is he’s going to get back on TV… some day.
