Help[Games] myth's Advanced Year Game
Another Year game... This one has a few more options than usual. Let me know if you like these changes!
—
Roll for ethnicity of both partners. This is purely to give more depth to appearances and doesn't necessarily reflect their location. (For example, North America is not included because there is no one defining ethnicity in this region but players can certainly create American characters.)
1) Western European (including UK, excluding Iberia)
2) African
3) Middle Eastern
4) Asian
5) Indian (or surrounding area)
6) Indigenous minority (any country applicable)
7) South/Central American
8) Eastern European
9) Scandinavian
10) Iberian (Spanish or Portuguese)
For ethnicity, choose what makes the most sense for hair color and texture and eye color.
Hair:
1) Black—Straight
2) Black—Curly/Wavy
3) Brown—Straight
4) Brown—Wavy
5) Brown—Curly
6) Blonde—Straight

For the first and middle names of the main couple, set the random number generator to a maximum of 10 and roll twice per name (first name, middle name) to decide its criteria. Clearly, these are skewed toward European and English names. If you would prefer to give a more ethnic name then do not bother with this step.

3) Name was used by Shakespeare
4) A hurricane or tropical storm bore this name

DH: Everard Thorburn Peak [Pediatrician; English, wavy red hair, brown eyes]
DW: Charlotte Clover Cotterill [Actor; African-American, curly black hair, black eyes]
Los Angeles, California
Everard and Charlotte “Chaz” met five years ago when Chaz, already a hit Hollywood actor, shadowed Everard at work as a pediatrician. She was playing the role of a young med student and, although she could have faked the whole thing, wanted to be as accurate as possible. The TV show (Childless) turned out to be a huge success and Chaz mostly attributed the performance to Everard. They became good friends long distance and, finally, Everard moved to LA two years ago to strengthen their relationship. Completely in love, they married last year in a private ceremony and look forward to starting their lives together. They are very wealthy due to their very high paying jobs and Chaz’s generous fan group so there are no limits to what they can do!
Year 1: $$$$$ Everard 28 Chaz 29 Thomas and Linnaea 0
Everard and Chaz can’t believe their luck! They conceived almost immediately and, at the first doctors appointment, found out they were expecting twins. Now the kids have been born and Everard and Chaz have called them Thomas and Linnaea. They always loved the name Thomas and when they found out it meant twin they decided it was just meant to be. They searched for a girls’ name with the same meaning and finally unearthed Linnaea, meaning twinflower. Chaz has cut down the amount of films she’s working on to spend more time with the tykes and, luckily, Everard has a very nice medical leave plan. Twins might be double trouble, but they’re double love too!
Year 2: $$$$$ Everard 29 Chaz 30 Eduardo 21 Thomas and Linnaea 1
After a lot of consideration, Everard and Chaz decided to host an exchange student from Spain this year. Eduardo Valdez Molina, who’s studying to become a chef, is a big fan of Chaz’s movies and TV shows and he was absolutely thrilled to have a chance to stay with the couple. He was very helpful with the twins, and he even treated the family to some special Spanish dishes.

DW [23] {Indian background, curly brown hair and brown eyes} Linfa Shailaja Gupta-Misra
DW [25] {Indian background, wavy brown hair and brown eyes} Kennedy Iselle Gupta-Misra
Linfa and Kennedy have been happily married for one month. Both come from Indian backgrounds, though they live in South Africa at the moment. Linfa is a cook at a local orphanage, while Kennedy is a scientist - she specializes in environmental science! The couple is quite rich, Linfa having received a large inheritance from a great-aunt. So far, they live comfortably, and are hoping to have a good life together!
YEAR 1: Finances - Loose money on stock. Family - Divorce
Kennedy may be very smart, but that doesn’t mean she chooses good investments! After a poor decision on her part, the Gupta-Misra duo lost a good sum in one fell swoop. And Linfa picked up a couple extra shifts to make up for it, glaring at her wife the whole time. The tension left over from that didn’t go away, however, and within a year Linfa had divorced Kennedy and was on her own once more. Which, to be honest, she doesn’t mind.

Ex-DW [26] {Indian background, wavy brown hair and brown eyes} Kennedy Iselle Gupta
YEAR 2: Adoption
Linfa was beginning to feel quite lonely, so she decided to adopt a child! She chose to adopt a child from the orphanage she works at, being already familiar with the kids there. She has recently welcomed a four-year-old girl named Sekai Tumelo. Sekai has curly black hair, and big brown eyes. As she already knew Linfa, Sekai settled right in. She’s a bright, friendly child, and Linfa couldn’t be happier.

YEAR 3: Finances - expensive hospital stay. Family event - host relatives
Sekai fell out of the tree in the yard, and broke her arm. This led to a hospital stay that cost more than Linfa would have liked. It put a dent in the family of two’s finances, but they should be okay. Two months later, Linfa’s brother and his wife came to visit for a while - that turned into six months. They haven’t left yet. Send help.

H: Gabriel Marcos Rivera Torres [26] (wavy brown hair, brown eyes; first grade teacher)
W: Annika Solveig Pedersen [27] (straight blonde hair, blue eyes; high school chemistry teacher)
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Finances: extremely rich $$$$$ [lol, like this would happen on two teachers' salaries]
2017: We adopted a pet rabbit and named him Bennett "Benny" the Bunny.
2018: We were stunned but excited to welcome triplets, two girls and a boy! Daniel Ari Kidwe Pedersen Torres (straight blond hair, brown eyes), Olivia Johanna Nuru Pedersen Torres (straight brown hair, blue eyes), and Linnea Azul Marjani Pedersen Torres (straight brown hair, brown eyes) joined our family.
2019: Our home was burglarized, but we are fortunate to still be fairly wealthy ($$$$).
2020: We decided to host an exchange student from the USA for a year! The house sure was busy with triplet toddlers and a teenager, but we all loved having him.
2021: Unfortunately Olivia became very ill with pneumonia and had to spend time in the hospital. The medical bills were costly but thankfully we are still very financially stable ($$$).
2022: This time it was Gabriel who had surgery and a hospital stay for a broken arm. The bills were a challenge but we came out the other end financially stable ($$).
2023: Believe it or not, Annika bought a winning lottery ticket! The earnings more than made up for all the medical bills and we are now fairly wealthy ($$$$).
2024: Sadly, Gabriel's grandmother passed away. He traveled home to Spain to attend the funeral.
