Townie, Play, or Kill It With Fire
Sometimes I do a sort of variation on the Kiss Marry Kill game for a bit of fun and potential inspiration for story bits in my game. I do this with the CAS option to start a new sim using the question...

There are seven sims, so 2 kill, 2 play and 2 townie, with one joker, I suppose?
Play myself: Black and white criminal guy and Skinny Cartoon Girl
Blackwhite isn't even a question, he's in. As a Neat sim he might be more the organizing/planning/sheming criminal rather than the one who goes around breaking into houses or stealing purses. Oh, and he hates children? Sounds like a former babysitter of the Villareal trio, probably Jacques' well paid gardener. I'm partial to the idea that he uses his cross-stitch skill to hide the fact that he practises Voodoo and he might at some point have been the lover of Jacques' ex-wife.
Congrats, Blackwhite, that particular bunch of sims you're going to join has major played sims status. (Not main characters, but important/often played ones.)
Cartoon girl is from Sulani, where she grew up at a banana or coconut planation (Gardening skill). She used to be fat, then her diving career slimmed her down (the fate of way too many formerly beautiful curvy professional pearl divers in my game. Either that or they randomly find kelp and become mermaids.). That's not quite what she wanted, or rather, too much of it, so now she wants to achieve a happy medium. My townies cannot change bodyshape, so she needs to get played for at least a week before she gets the boot.
Towniefy: Purple pony tail and The Pear
I first had Skinny Girl here and Pear played, but then the story hook for Skinny required her to be playable.
Purple could easily find work in my canned fish factory or as an office grunt in my electronics/bots company, what would give him enough backstory to appear in the occasional screenshot. He likes food and music, well, that's pretty normal, everyone does to some degree. He also looks forgetable and won't give neither my cops or the gangs trouble due to his Good trait, that reads like perfect background sims material.
The Pear somehow gives me the vibes of one who lives in Strangerville and makes his living from scavenging from the car graveyard. Neat trait plus Handyness skill somehow add to "Recycling enthusiast" for me. Give him a fabricator and you're set.
He doesn't have to be playable for that role, though, so for the time being I'd add him to the Junkyard Crew, a club led by my junkyard owner.
Soon as Skinny has put on some meat and muscles, I'd swap her into the unplayed bin and play The Pear instead. By then he'd also get a real name and most likely quit his junkyard job to go treasure hunting (non-committal + aspiration).
Kill with fire: Ginger, Orange and Matching Shoes
- Matchy has the guitar skill, she'd hog the busking stations and steal the spotlight from my established townies. Can't have that.
- Ginger is just boring all around, I can't connect to her.
- Orange I can see as a military member who is involved in the development of bio-weapons (mixology = food chemistry) and probably taste-tested one concoction too many (Glutton). I already have enough intrigue going on and he's not looking interesting enough for townie-status, so he'll suffer an off screen lab accident.
