Life Hacks/Characters

Here is a reference for the characters in the story as they are initially. If I haven't fleshed things out well enough feel free to refine the character more. If you're making significant changes/additions to the character please run them by me first. --Elerneron (talk) 17:22, 7 October 2016 (CEST)

The Cole Family

History

Rich knocked up his girlfriend Inga in high school. He did the "right thing" and married her. Luckily both families were relatively well-off and they were both able to attend college while raising young Brittany. Inga got a degree in business, and Rich got a degree in IT.

Rich went to work, but Inga was pregnant again, so decided to wait a while before looking for a job. She was frustrated with having to become a "homemaker", but kept it to herself. After the twins were born, she started working part-time. She got pregnant again just about the time she was in line for a promotion, and is certain her pregnancy was the reason she was passed over. Bastian was born even though they were using condoms at the time.

With the failure of the condoms, she started putting out less and less. One fateful night, Rich had a liaison with a stripper named Shauna (illegally working at 15 years old). He regretted the act immediately, and rededicated himself to his marriage. He was contacted by Shauna a few months later to tell him she was pregnant. He tried to do the right thing by supporting Shauna financially, but couldn't bring himself to leave his frigid wife. He soon discovered that she was pregnant as well (much to her chagrin).

Angel and Rahne were born within two months of one another. Inga decided to focus on her career more seriously, and started taking birth control. Regardless, she got pregnant again with Veronica. At that point she divorced Rich after an argument about getting her tubes tied. After the divorce she got them tied. Rich eventually hooked up with Shauna and they had another child together. Rich has custody of his children every other weekend.

The Wells Family

History

Trish

Patricia Shannon O'Connell-Wells is a dedicated and overprotective widowed single mother. She reserves the nickname Trish to family and close friends. She is a very progressive mother; and prefers to answer her children's questions honestly rather than use the tired old lies that people have used in the past to obfuscate complex subjects to their children. She is raising her children vegan, under the (somewhat mistaken) impression that it is the healthiest lifestyle. Unfortunately, with a vegan lifestyle it is complicated and challenging to get the proper levels of nutrition; and her children are actually a bit undernourished. She obsessively cleans her house, and does everything she can to limit her children's exposure to germs. This has backfired once again as the children have a weaker immune system from not having been exposed to many microorganisms. She is very opposed to violence, and does what she can to limit any kind of rough play with her children. This makes football an unacceptable sport, but baseball and basketball are just acceptable. Trish is a passionate woman, but has put that side of her life on hold to dedicate herself fully to rearing her children. Because of this there is a sexual dynamo hiding just under the surface.
