Updated character profiles/bios

I've been meaning to create an updated character profile page for the new shared/original sims in my story, the newly worked in Maxis sims, and the updated stats of everyone else, complete with secondary aspirations, OTHs, and other information. Now I'm thinking it would be fun to just totally geek out on it and make it sort of a character bio too, and make it very specific to my versions of these characters instead of the Maxis starting points (though the basic stats would be the game originals, unless I've altered them - and I can note that). Like I said, It's a total geek out, but it would be fun for me, and I'm sure some of you might also get a bit of a kick out of it, right?

I'm thinking of including some silly things, like favourite food, pet peeve, and the sort of things you'd find on a trading card (or maybe in a yearbook? *snicker* probable fate...). I'm open to suggestions, if there are any character details you'd like to know more about. It will make a nice reference list for me for all the stuff I've made up for each one of them.

That would be great...

And a complete nerdout. You'd probably have trouble keeping it up to date though.

I can just see the yearbook stuff now... "Most likely to succeed" "Most likely to fall off a cliff" "Most likely to come out at his sister's wedding"

Character bios would be epic. :D It might sound odd, but I'd like to see descriptions of their heights, weights, body shapes - stuff like that; we have pictures of Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia, and I know we've been given descriptions in the narrative, but it'd be nice to have it laid out, especially since the game is so limited in representing those sorts of differences.

Somebody should totally make sim trading cards. I mean, everything else has them.

These sound awesome, ST. I don't really have suggestion. :(

But this sounds amazingly cool. :D

Yearbook titles would be hilarious. I got voted 'Most Likely to End Up in Prison' and 'Most Likely to Run a Mafia Family' at my high school, but we were allowed to be creative with ours.

Ripp strikes me as one who would get voted 'Most Likely to End Up At the Star of a Reality Dating Show' a la 'Rock of Love' or something. You know he'd be perfect for it.

Sounds really awesome! There is one detail I would love to see: birthdates (and what time of day they were born)! :D I would also like to know their heights. I'm most interested about the facts which aren't automatically determined in the game and you have to make up yourself (like those two I already mentioned) :D

Also, it would be lovely if the bios contained pictures from their childhood and teenage years.

We all know what Ripp's favorite food is.

...fish.

(Beau's is bananas.) (Frances doesn't eat.)

I'd love to see a "favorite quote" for each character

That would be awesome!

Favourite food, music, clothes, dream job, dream date, dream house, worst/best thing that's ever happened to him/her, middle name. :D

Oooh! Oooh! Favourite woohoo position! (Or is that too graphic for your 14A livejournal? :P)
