Broken Wings frontman, and musician Ramiel Harrison and "master" actress Maria Demarco are an unlikely couple... probably because they broke up months ago and Ramiel can't even stand her. Maria is best known for playing the title character, Joan in
Joan Pucker Must Die, Marina Gorge in
Mean Sims, and of course for her role as Katherine Evergreene in
The Plumbob Games. The latter for which she has been nominated for
Best Actress in the 93rd Annual Simcademy Awards. And Ramiel's claim to fame being the lead singer & back up guitarist for the Alt-Rock band, Broken Wings.
The pair met while working together on
The Plumbob Games with Maria being the lead actress and Ramiel writing and performing "World of Darkness" for the film, which became an instant hit and is universally regarded as the anthem of
The Plumbob Games earning him and his band a nomination for
Best Original Song at the Simcademy Awards. While the relationship had a pretty normal start, three months later Ramiel found out that Maria was cheating on him and called it quits. Maria however, wasn't quite ready to let go of him... seeing as he is, quote "the hottest man she's ever met."
Here's where things get tricky... even though they're both up for a Simcademy award for
The Plumbob Games they're only attending together because Ramiel has a secret... he's actually a Fallen Angel, cast out centuries ago after following his leader Samyaza, courting a mortal woman (not Maria) and teaching humans knowledge that was considered "forbidden" by heaven. Although he refused to reveal what knowledge he specifically taught, some of his "brothers" were cast out for teaching astrology, the stars and constellations and weapons. And the other reason they're attending together? Because Maria blackmailed him of course. By threatening to tell everyone his secret, unless he escorted her to the Simcademy awards as her date.

Questions:
Ryan Seacrisp: Here we have Ramiel Harrison, lead singer of Broken Wings. And Maria Demarco, who is of course... Katherine Evergreene from The Plumbob Games.
*Crowd Cheers and Ramiel smiles. Maria blows a kiss *
Ryan: First things first though... Ramiel? How the PLUM do you pronounce your name.
Ramiel: *chuckles*
It's Ruh-mee-uhl.
Ryan Seacrisp: Thank you! Now that we got that out of the way... so tell me, who are you guys wearing?
Ramiel: I'm wearing a piece from
Giovanni Prego's latest collection.
Maria: And I'm wearing a custom from
Kat JenkinsRyan: Why did you choose this designer?
Ramiel: I chose Giovanni because he makes suits that are suitable for red carpet events but are still comfortable and not too flashy, which is just the way I like it. And because a portion of each sale goes to charity.
Maria: Because her dresses are top-notch and she actually listens to what her customers want.
Ryan: Okay, this next question is for Maria... how challenging was this role to play? It's notably different than anything you've ever done before.
Maria: Oh, the role itself was easy. It was what I had to go through that made it challenging. The worst part was defintely getting all sweaty and tired with sore muscles at the end of the day though. Luckily, I had a stunt double to do all of the
really taxing parts and I got to relax in a ep
sim salt bath at the end of the day.
Ryan: I see... Ramiel, what was it like creating music for
The Plumbob Games and for your co-worker?
Ramiel: It was a great, really unique experience. Usually when the guys and I write music, it's about our personal lives or real-world issues. This time around we got to stretch our imaginations and create a song about the issues of a fictional world and it was a lot of fun. It's defintely an experience I'd like to repeat at some point.
Ryan: And... correct me if I'm wrong, don't you have a small cameo in the film?
Ramiel: Oh yes, I defintely do. It's just for one scene, and I'm wearing a black wig but if you look closely, you should be able to spot me. :wink:
Maria: And he looks really hot too, it's a shame his character gets killed.
Ryan: Woah spoilers!
Maria: Oh, please. The movie has been out for two months now, anyone who hasn't seen it is living under a rock.
Ramiel: Or they're, you know... busy. Or maybe don't want to drop 20+ simoleons on a single ticket. And anyway, it's not that important of a role, so don't worry about it.
Ryan: Such a humble man. Anyway, this is for both of you again. What will be your next project?
Ramiel: The guys and I are working on our next album. Which, for those of you wondering
will feature "World of Darkness." Just a slightly different arrangement than what you hear in the movie.
Maria: The Plumbob Games sequel of course!
Ryan: Sounds exciting. We'll all be looking forward to both those things. But, I do have one more question for you, Ramiel...
Ramiel: Uh oh...
Ryan: Why the name, Ramiel? Is there any significance behind it?
Ramiel: ... let's save that story for another time...
Ryan: And there you have it folks! Ramiel Harrison, up for
Best Original Song and Maria Demarco, up for
Best Actress stay tuned to see if they win.

Note: I included this on the gallery entry, but I'll put it here too
I wanted to make Ramiel a 3 star celebrity, and Maria a 4 star celebrity but for some reason the gallery can't recognize 3-4 stars and gives them one less. So I had to make Ramiel a 4 star and Maria 5 stars.
