Main one is gonna be Eli:

Backstory starts with his mom (perfectionist, loner, creative), she's a witch but she's never been all THAT interested in magic, mostly focusing on the practical stuff. Where she shines is painting and she takes this extremely seriously, focusing only on classic and realism paintings leaving the 'gauche' styles to others. She spent most of her life carving a respectable niche for herself in the art world, being one of those rigid, immovable people, a little corner of the art world eventually bent to her will rather than her succumbing to what she deems trends.
Eventually though at an exhibition she meets a vampire who sweeps her off her feet completely. She unspools with him, discovering aspects of herself she didn't know she had and which excite and frighten her in equal measure. But eventually the vampire loses interest, she is discarded like a wornout toy. But she can't accept this both because she's never had something like she's had with the vampire (and she's early/mid forties by this time) and because she's pregnant, with his twins.
So she confronts him and he's befuddled and dismissive, he says he will of course support his children financially but has no plans to be involved with their lives since he's seen enough children grow old and die and secondly, he's confused as to why she's still so hung up on him. They were just having fun you see. He used his vampiric allure to loosen her up a bit and have a good time, but he's stopped now and she should move on. But the thing is, regardless of how her love for him started she finds herself well and truly in love with him and this revelation (as you'd imagine) just wrecks her. Not only is her reputation in tatters because of his 'fun,' not only is she pregnant with his twins in her early/mid forties, not only is she going to have to raise them alone but the one time she felt this transformational, paradigm shifting love that seems so real turns out to be this twisted lie.
So she kills him, right there. Burns him to a crisp. Her children don't know it because she never speaks of him (that whole period of her life has taken on a broken mirror like aspects, parts erased, parts too sharp to handle) but their mother's flaming skull familiar is all that remains of their father.
That's where my game is gonna start, adult mother raising two toddlers rebuilding her reputation and career in the art world. Now she's not evil or actively malicious, she loves her kids but it's complicated. Both her twins resemble their father physically and while she recognizes parts of herself in them they're warped, like she was under their father's influence. Eli (creative, gloomy, eccentric) is an artistic prodigy and a wildly ambitious mage but he's fragile and self-destructive, aspects of herself she absolutely refuses to acknowledge are so visibly manifested in her son. Her daughter (perfectionist, non-committal, genius) is, firstly, a vampire but also brilliant, insouciant and irreverent she picks up skillsets/jobs/relationships as her curiosity dictates, masters them and then discards them which obviously reminds her mother uncomfortably of their father.
That was probably a more involved answer then you were looking for OP but. I'm lowkey dreading having to redo my sims in CAS to get them in the lifestates I need them to be because I'm really not that good at it, I really like the way they look and I'm afraid I won't be able to replicate them appropriately. I tried redoing the mom and she wound up completely different. Not necessarily bad different though so meh.
