This is the kid I'm playing right now. His name is Lino, and he arrived as a dirt-poor teen refugee from some sort of sadness in Selvadorada. I'm doing a sorta-rags to sorta-riches scenario with him, and he has just now managed to build a tiny (unfinished) house on the land he's been squatting for some time. He had met Canela, the dog lying at his feet, as a fellow vagabond. He would feed her, and she would bring him gifts that were sometimes surprisingly useful. Today he was allowed by my scenario rules to officially adopt her. :)

This is the exterior of Lino's house after he got it more livable. He decorated it to remind him of his roots, with the bright colors he loves. It looks a good bit larger than it really is, mainly due to adding the extended roofline over the dining portico. He's still off the grid part-time (about 3 days a week), so right now he still does all his cooking on a grill, but at least he can watch TV and listen to a radio sometimes.

View to the right just inside doorway. I'd say this is his bedroom, but with a home this small, it's pretty much all one room, lol. But yeah, this is his sleeping area, with the bathroom nook off to the left. Lino rolled the traits Loves Outdoors and Romantic, so the wall decorations here reflect both of those. He crafted the hearts above the bed and caught the mounted fish himself.

View to the left just inside doorway. Kitchen area, which currently also serves as entertainment center. Lino crafted the stools himself.

This is the dining area, where Lino also likes to do his homework. He didn't literally make the chairs and table himself, but I did have him craft a table and some chairs first. I sold them to pay for the current ones, but in my scenario I pretend that he painted the ones he crafted, as the sell-price of the self-made was about the same as the buy price of the new stuff.

With all the business of survival and building a new life, Lino was quite behind his peers in matters of education, but now he finally has a chance to remedy that. He studies far into the night if he has to, determined to make a good grade eventually. Canela just looks like she's thinking, "I don't know what he's doing, but I hope he's doing it right."
