J2, because purple, elegant and windbag reminds me of Flurrie from paper mario 2 :3:

Voting is closed, and we have a clear winner! D2’s our lady! Now to- oh dear.

So I guess we’re just gonna make Dot Matrix? Yeah, let’s make Dot.

Sorry about that, folks! Y’see, I had the genius notion that I’d be able to rely on the undo and redo buttons to get back to whichever lady happened to be our winner rather than doing something sensible like saving them all to the bin of premades.


But hey, I’m not unwilling to flex my slider muscles, so let’s see what we can do.

…


There! Her own mother couldn’t tell the difference, I’m sure.

She’s got a face, she’s got a body, now she needs a brain - or rather, a personality. To give her one, we need only pick five traits from a list I’m going to provide shortly.

Now, this part is going to involve a bit less democracy and a bit more creativity than the last. I want five traits from the list below, as well as a short biography to tell us more about our lady. I’ll pick the one I like best. We’re not making Dot Matrix, so please don’t submit Dot Matrix unless you want your entry thoroughly disregarded. Are we clear?

Good. Here’s the traits.

Things rarely go right for unlucky Sims. They often lose at everything they touch. Though some do take pity on their misfortune…

Virtuosos have a natural gift with musical instruments and are often considered the best musicians. As such, they earn more as musicians when playing for tips and learn more quickly.


Workaholic
Workaholics love to work and rarely become stressed from working. Their mood suffers when they miss work, but they are able to make it up by working from home. Workaholics make the best employees.

Some traits are incompatible - for example, you can’t have Technophobe and Computer Whiz on a Sim. Most of these conflicts should be obvious, but if you whip up a list that has conflicting traits, I’ll let you know. I may, of course, choose to revise her clothing and hat/hair situation after trait selection.

Ready, set, write!

Our girl grew up with too many adventure novels and cartoons and fancies herself a modern day, lady Indiana Jones. Unfortunately, she has a habit to swipe objects like her neighbors pictures thinking they are important artifacts. She also only knows how romance works in fiction and has never had a real relationship. Still, she feels her outdoorsy nature will help her accomplish something adventure worthy in her life.

At birth, there was something different about our gal. And no, it wasn’t that she had green skin, that is very rude for you to think that. No she seemed more perceptive than most other babies at time. She seemed to learn things uncannily quick. Still there seemed to be something good about her. In childhood, she found it hard to make friends, or maybe people just thought she was strange, so a loner she became. Her parents, seeking an outlet for her, signed her up for some martial arts classes. Turns out, it was just what this disciplined gal needed. But around young girl, she saw injustices in this world. Those who were hurting or given an unfair shake in life. Someone would need to be brave enough to fight in this cruel cruel world.

(Yeesh I feel like I wrote far too much)

I’m gonna need more than that.

D2, (a name I can only assume stands for Daniella II,) is basically the living embodiment of a sports anime. She’s very good at sports, very bad at relationships, and loudly exclaims her surprise if somebody does a sports in a slightly unpredictable way. However, she’s not once attempted to swim, for it was predicted that she would one day perish in the water. As such, water skiing, deep sea diving, and other sea-based activities are out of the question. Snow sports are okay, but that ice better think twice before it melts.

Our gal here just really likes meeting and hanging out with people, she’s very friendly though she’s not an expert on navigating all social interaction and she can sometimes be inappropriate. But she loves getting together and having a great time, a bonafide party animal. She loves the outdoors but is unlucky, it’s not easy being green!

Oh… OK.

Ever since her father watched Animal House in front of her at a tender and influential age, while vocally reminiscing about the good old days, D2 wanted to go to college, join a sorority, and party it up. She put her heart and soul into learning exactly who she would have to become to live out this life, branching off from Animal House to watch such seminal works as Old School, Back to School, and Van Wilder. Her research complete, D2 crafted herself into the perfect college attendee. Unfortunately, she never made it into college for a myriad of reasons* but that won’t stop her from living out her dream here in Twinbrook! If she can’t get to college then she’ll bring college to her!

Lizardwizard didn’t start with the University expansion installed, also I don’t think you can play as not an adult outside of the University expansion without an adult or elder on the lot.*
**The University expansion is also kind of boring.

Please remember to limit the game’s FPS so it does not melt your graphics card.

I’m looking forward to this. :slight_smile:

Also remember to turn off memory creation so it doesn’t fill up your hard drive with pictures.

Dislikes Children
Neurotic
Loves the Cold
Kleptomaniac
Computer Whiz

Because she’s a criminal who leads an extremely stressful life and yet also loves the cold so much that her skin is now permanently blue from too much time in freezing weather. And she dislikes kids because well, kids are the worst.

Since a few people have now made this mistake, I feel I should clarify: I will not consider any submitted combination of traits without a biography to back it up. Even if it’s as short as Powerdork’s or discountcleric’s.

Sell me on it from a narrative standpoint, please.

WELL MY FACE IS RED.

Waking up in a world she does not know with no recollection of how she arrived, D2 must now build a new life for herself while attempting to discover what external forces displaced her in this new dimension. She is a naturally Good soul, and is never one to stand idly by when injustice is near. She comes from a very peaceful society where everyone is willing to lend a hand to their neighbors, and assumes that this new world is the same. Unfortunately, since she has a tendency to not ask beforehand, she can come off as a Mooch. It also doesn’t help that she is something of a Kleptomaniac, with a tendency to swipe things if she thinks that there may be a use for them later.

Although she is lost in a distant land, she does have one indispensable skill that she has carried over from her old life. She is an expert when it comes to electronics and machinery, and can fix nearly anything that she comes across. Long story short, she is one of the most Handy people you could hope to find.

Her unique situation does not come without baggage, though. Between the stresses of trying to create a new life from scratch and the knowledge that she may never see her original home again, she has a lot of things weighing on her mind. She may be willing to do whatever it takes to find answers, but at the same time, she can’t deny that the situation is making her feel just a little bit Neurotic.

A search for meaning, and a search for truth. This is the new life of D2.
