I did that for his dad for a bit.)Backstory: Spoiler (Highlight to read)Mo is the third child of his dad, a writer, and the second child of his mum, a vet, as his parents both have children from previous relationships but Mo is the first child of his parents together. Mo is awkward when it comes to meeting people as new people don't know the thing about him he doesn't like talking about much. The fact that he's been 90% blind since the age of 7. He hates the reactions people get to something he's perfectly comfortable with but the questions get a bit much. If you were to ask Mo what the scariest moment of his life was, for him it would be passing out in his house and waking up, sore and sleepy in hospital following surgery when he was 9. His siblings and parents would back him up on this one. It was probably the moment Mo realised his life was definitely not one of a regular, average person despite being under a Cardiologist since he was born. But, it didn't stop him being himself. He still found ways to break the silence when he was recovering. Much to the nurses dismay...Mo can be defensive when people say things about him but he has a good heart and he'll stand up for his friends. Mo loves dogs and animals in general, working part time at his mum's vet clinic in Willow Creek (its in Newcrest in my game but obviously Cole owns that one) with minimal pay so he can hang out with the animals. Mo also enjoys really bad movies and watches them with his mum on quiet Saturday nights. He's determined in anything from his parents trying to let him be independent but the world telling him that he shouldn't be. He's a self described extrovert but he doesn't mind staying home to watch movies with his little sister, Drew.

So, now it's been confirmed dogs don't count as submissions, here's my other submission. With less of a backstory because Mo's backstory I've thought about a lot as he lived with my own heir. :lol: SUBMISSION FORM:Picture:https://66.media.tumblr.com/fd870124ba39a6ce497e6f30a626313a/tumblr_pkm0k4P4aE1wv47k8o3_r1_540.pngSim Name: Brooklyn 'Brooke' Maura CroftBackstory: Brooke and Mo share a sister, Riley, but are otherwise not related. She's the second daughter of her mum and the only daughter of her dad (and technically his only child). Brooke can be selfish and a bit self absorbed but despite this she still cares for her family and close, close friends such as her distant relative, Mo, who has been her friend since they were kids because they're about the same age. But, she always liked to point out she was a year older.Some of her favourite thing include make up and shopping, something Mo can never understand despite trying. She loves most romantic films and will complain for up to a week if a new one is really bad. Her worst habit is when she's nervous she'll tap her foot, which is annoying for anyone else. Sometimes, if she's in a good mood then she'll watch the really bad movies with Mo, whose always trying to get her to watch Star Forces: Revenge of the aliens.

I added two young adults, but feel free to age them up or down, change anything about the way they look, and feel free to change any of the backstory that may or may not fit.https://i.imgur.com/edo9FCC.pngSim Name: Raza ErakatBackstory: Raza is a first generation citizen in the country, and while he's not totally sure how to behave and make his parents proud, he knows that he doesn't want to be a scientist; in fact he'd prefer to be popular. He's always willing to listen to somebody in need, but is also just as willing to try to make jokes to make people feel better, and occasionally he'll over promise and under deliver. But hey, if it works out and he's allowed to become the most popular person in the world, won't that make his family proud? Won't that make everything worth it in the end?Links and CC: No CC, but here's the link: Linkhttps://i.imgur.com/G8bvwbW.pngSim Name: Rainbow WilsonBackstory: For somebody named Rainbow, she sure doesn't stand out too much. It's almost like she's constantly trying to hide herself away from the rest of the world... to the point where most people don't even know her name. She's known as "her" or "you" or "Stacey" or "Jane" but most often she's called "the quiet girl." Maybe she's hiding something. Maybe she just wants to go on to bigger and better things. Maybe she's planning on taking over the world. Maybe she just hates her name. Maybe she's waiting for somebody to really come notice her and take her away from all the horrors of the world. Maybe she's an international super spy/assassin. Maybe she just goes out clubbing on the weekends to take the pressure off. Maybe she just wants to shave her head and join a folk band and get all sorts of tattoos. Who knows? Only what's-her-name... you know... that person we were talking about... Mary-Jo? Lisa? It was something like that.Links and CC: No CC, but here's the link: Link

So late :scream: But here are my submissions! :blush: They're up on the gallery for you!

Also, if either of them look familiar in any way, it's PURELY COINCIDENTAL ;)

Rosalina LaVallee
https://i.imgur.com/2JHJyEP.png

Rosalina is better than you, and she knows it... But she's much too nice to ever tell you to your face, of course. The middle child of two workaholic parents, Rosalina always found herself fighting for attention at home, but it always felt like a losing battle... So instead, she decided to find the what she craved elsewhere.

For her entire life, Rosalina has worked hard to be the best at, well, everything she can be. And, much to her delight, others have certainly taken notice. She loves being the center of attention, making friends (and sometimes enemies) almost everywhere she goes. It's Rosalina's dream for the entire world to one day know her name. And she'll make it happen if it's the last thing she does.

Link Masson
https://i.imgur.com/8rrmwxP.png

Always hungry for a little adventure, Link loves exploring and traveling all over the world. Since leaving his parents' home at the age of eighteen, he's been living a nomadic sort of lifestyle, never staying in one place for too long and always searching for the next new adventure. Despite his parents' pleas for him to find a place to settle down, he always finds himself feeling so bored and miserable whenever he tries.

Though he may never admit it, there is a small part of him that envies those who have stability and consistency in their lives -- homes, careers, families... Unbeknownst to his parents, he would secretly love the chance to follow their wishes and settle down one day, but he just hasn't found a good enough excuse to... yet.

@CitizenErased14 - Okay - So "Link" can't be a coincidence - Zelda's brother by another mother? LOL! I might be way off. I am terrible at genetics unless they are my own sims! But thank you so much! And Rosalina does look familiar as well!

I have so many ideas buzzing around in my head on how to insert everyone's fabulous creations into my story! <3

Sim Name: Elliot Gray

Backstory:
Spoiler

We were a very tight-knit community. We had to be. We didn't trust outsiders and usually for a good reason. They rarely brought us any good, except for when they came to see the performance.

When I was a kid, other kids enjoyed my company. They loved it, when I showed them tricks. They never got bored of me, because me and my people never stayed long at one place. I was always a breath of fresh air in their mundane lives.

When I grew up, things changed. Girls still liked me, even more than before. But the same boys who used to beg me to show them more tricks, all of a sudden had only bad names for me. They would often chase me through the streets and give me beating, if they caught me. Most times they didn't, because I was faster. I was like a wind.
It took a while to get used to the name calling. To outsiders we were gypsies and thieves. I've never stolen anything in my life.
But none of it mattered when we were flying high in the air under the tent top. None of it mattered when the spectators cheered and applauded. None of it mattered when they gasped. None of it mattered when her fingers slipped out of my hand. After that night nothing mattered anymore.

After a tragedy Elliot left the Gray circus and his people for good. He's currently employed as a high rise building window cleaner.

Links and CC: cc free version is available in the gallery. I will message you the cc version.

She ended up to look as generic as all my other sims. (They're all related anyway.) But I am glad that my genetic mix party finally gave me her, with whom I am quite content. :D

Eden Doe-Christen
On first glance, Eden seems to be the 'good christian-girl' type. While Eden is indeed quite virtuous, truth be told that she is less meek than she seems. (And also not really a well brought up, devout Christian, though she wouldn't deny god.)
Born inside an isolated cult in an segregated, rural area as one of the countless children of a cult leader and any of his many wives Eden lived a sheltered and secluded life. For Eden it was Paradise as well as Hell. There was seldom something in between, but it was still normal, everyday life for her. She was a fine girl, obedient, plain, diligent, dutiful, unassuming and placid.
When Eden reached her 'flowering' she experienced the first time to be celebrated. The day after, she was married to a man of the cult. That was her second celebration, through it was not for her, she merely participated in it. She was the reward given by her father to one of the devout, full-grown followers.
That experience waked something in her, some self-awareness in the world of the cult.

That is it? I got commemorated that I finally have some worth as a womb? This is my life now, holding still like a good mare for my randy depraved husband, bearing children till I drop dead.

She wouldn't take it. Eden was at her limit of how much she would put up with. Not a week after she had been wed off, still a minor, she had run away no trace leaving, with no one expecting this from this meek girl. But her mind was feisty and her heart strong, as she proved now that her patience had run out. She cut her braids, tossed her bonnet and ventured into this vast world.
Life in the cult's community was hard, but it seemed life in the world outside was even harder. Not having a birth certificate made it hard in this system, as well as not knowing her day of birth or if she had a last name. She was styled as Miss Doe-Christen, with Christen she knew as the last name of the father. She had chosen that name for herself. It was a reminder, and a trophy. She took the name, as she had taken her freedom.
Life outside the cult was unlike she anticipated. Fascinated from this wondrous world she is still overwhelmed by things like phones she had previously known as 'evil devices'. Pants however are still her mortal enemy. How could she ever wear THAT?!

You can find her in the gallery, but here is a link with the CC's included.

While we are at that, I love Elliot's.
:D. A charmer with luggage on his back, he could stir things up! I'm a sucker for "gypsie" stories anyway, with characters who lead such a life style. Do you know of The Color of Smoke: An Epic Novel of the Roma
? Tho it is not a story of circus troupe but about Roma life, I recommend that for everyone who reads along.
Anyway, I'm so jealous of your talent to create such distinct and eye pleasing sims. Do you create them from your mind, do you 'experiment'? Really need some tips yo :D

I'm not familiar with the story, but I will check it out. Sounds like something I might enjoy reading.
I think your sim looks great. Her looks fit her background too. Now I want to read about the cult members coming to drag her back. >:) :)
Hmm, I don't think I have a special talent for making sims. Not all my sims turn out great. I enjoy making male sims more than female sims. I think there are less options to make each of them look different than with female sims. As for tips, I start with sims I created before and like and mix their genes in CAS until something interesting comes out of it. Then I tinker with the result some more. Sometimes I use pictures of real people as a referrence. Guys have sharper features, squarer jaw, prominent nose. It is not unusual for me to spend two hours in CAS making a sim. Elliot is probably my top fav creation so far. If I didn't have the next gen of my legacy planned I would have kept him for myself, because he sparks my imagination. But I have full confidence in Audrey to make his life interesting as I would myself. :)

@Maladi777 - wow! I love him and agree with @Damaro - his back story is great.

And @Damaro - Eden is great too. With these last two I’m gonna have to cut it off. I’m already pretty sure some may not make it in. So sad because they are all wonderful.

@everyone - you outdid yourself! <3
