ARVING HEIGHTS CASTING CALL!!!!

7XUJStL.png
r9wOiXQ.png

I will begin writing a new series called Arving Heights. It is a sort of reboot of my current saga The Hourglass Legacy with a different take on some familiar characters, and I will also be introducing some new characters as well. I decided to do this mainly because I want to get back to doing an ensemble cast and breath some new life into my creations. In this new story, I will use the BuildNewcrest Challenge with a twist. Instead of doing it by generations, I will be doing it by seasons, kinda like a a TV show. The story will take place over the course of twenty years or so.

This Casting Call will be for Season One. The main characters shown above and their immediate families, are the only parts filled. The rest of the parts will be filled by the Casting Call. Below is a a list of what I need.

Potential Loves Interests for the main characters, both Male and Female.
A few "minions" for corrupt businessmen/gangsters
A few Three generation families. (Who could play a huge role in the story)
Various Background characters both male and female. (Friends of Main Cast, friends of Friends of Main cast)

For now let's keep to one submission per person, if I need more I will relax this rule. I reserve the right to change the characters Aspirations, looks and background to fit the story.

    I've got a sim prepared but will upload them tomorrow as I'm about to head off to bed. Are you after just one sim per person or should I look to make a few?

    nakaiablum.jpg
    Household Name: Blum
    Age: 25
    Background/Bio:

    Nakaia was a former Olympic Diver for France (or the sim equivalent) specialising in the 10-metre platform. She won a Gold medal in the San Myshuno games when she was just 17 but was unable to back that up with a medal at the next games and quickly fell out of the spotlight.
    nakaiablumdiving.jpg
    She retired soon after that and decided to focus on her other passions. She is a talented singer, and is able to use a few instruments well enough to label her as a serious musician, but she doesn't do it for the fame, she had that and it brought her nothing but stress and ruin. She still loves the water and likes to spend days at the pools, either diving or just relaxing in or near the pool.
    nakaiablumsinging.jpg
    When she's not singing or playing an instrument, she's either chilling out at her local bar - she's a social butterfly you see - or dancing her butt off at one of the many nightclubs around.
    nakaiablumchilling.jpg
    nakaiablumdancing.jpg
    Nakaia has a way with people - especially men - she doesn't seem to try but she always finds herself surrounded by guys, often involved in awkward situations where all of them are competing for her attention. Her accent can really only be described as... singsong, it is truly a beautiful sound, and when people aren't caught in her gorgeous green eyes, they're captivated by her voice.
    nakaiablumscharm.jpg
    nakaiablumscharm2.jpg
    She still keeps up with some of the training exercises that she did whilst diving, in order to keep up her flexibility and also to aid with stress levels.
    nakaiablumyoga.jpg

    Edit: I have skilled her up, but if you want me to submit a straight out of CAS sim, let me know and I'll reupload her.

    @Munterbacon No this is perfect...I am sure I can use her as a girl friend for someone....lol....or just a fun loving friend for one of the girl. The first Season is mostly college students so she could also be in Arving studying something at the university. She is also a character I could easily see working her way into the main cast.

    @Skcaga6 Okay thanks. No big hurry, I am wrapping up Sins of The Father, and then it will take a couple of weeks to get some details worked out for Arving Heights.

    You can muck around with the timeframe a bit to work with the whole university thing, i.e. it could be just after she retires from Olympic diving, so she'll be around 21 - 22. Or she could still be diving but studying at the school, so maybe 18 - 19? I dunno, I'll leave that up to you :D

    Household Name: Dirty Hippie
    Age: 33
    Background/Bio: Gobi Norris is a fun living hippie that lives in the park along with his other fellow hippies. When he isn't protesting "The Man", he loves to get baked, score free food, and stare at the clouds. He gets very excited about double rainbows though he doesn't know what it means. He has a brother that is a police chief though the only time Gobi sees him is when he gets put in jail for bathing in the park fountain. He may be a gluttonous slob but underneath he is a good person

    @Munterbacon Okay thanks!! I know Nothing of diving, lol, but it would be easy enough to have her transfer to Arving U from another school or be a foreign exchange student

    I will start looking through the casting call for Arving Heights in the next couple of weeks. If I don't pick you character to play a major role, I will definitely make sure they make cameos or play a minor role. If you haven't submitted anyone yet, please do so. This is half the fun.

    Rowan Lundy

    Rowan is looking for love in apparently all the wrong places. He has long history of falling love with women who leave him once he opens himself up enough to reveal his secret to them. So what if he likes to wear women's panties under his jeans. It doesn't change who is truly is. Maybe some day he will find someone who can accept him and his love for silk and lace.

    I put him on the gallery with the hashtag #ArvingHeights. No CC at all since I took my mods folder out before updating. Should be easy to find him.

    Feel free to use him how you want. :) I had way too much fun making him.

    Okay guise! Here is mine.... I can't get her on the Gallery cause issues with the Gallery for some reason with the new patch... so a link to her...

    An Alternate Universe Baby for your Alternate Universe story! BemmaBaby!

    t5UEkWk.png - she big!!!!
    Patricia was a baby born of a one night stand while her mother was in college. She grew up with her mom in a small town in the Deep South. She was a tough girl, having to help her mom with chores until her mom married when she was 12. Her step dad was nice enough, but he took all her moms attention. As soon as she was out of high school she moved out. She may look like a sweet southern belle, but she’s tough on the inside, although wants to find that special someone to make a real family with.

    Rumor has it that Kurt Cobain also liked doing this at times.

    It has been brought to my attention that using the same characters as I did in Hourglass, even if they are quiet different might be confusing, especially since I will be on occasions still be doing short 4-10 chapter mini-series on The Hourglass series. So I decided to create a whole new cast for Arving Heights....I will keep you updated on this new cast, I need some submissions, you never know I might use one of your sims as part of the main cast for this new saga.

    Hello, I uploaded a family (3 generations) to the gallery...They are the Fleming Silverman. You can change their background story as needed, age up/down, use only one sim if you wish LOL. I just want the family to live in another save, as I made them for background sims in a story and never really used them. It says they have CC but it's because of a skin overlay. It won't interfere so much in their appearance.
    My origin ID is AnaDM.

    The Flemings are known as the money from the city.
    They arrived with nothing and became rich in a few years.
    Nobody actually knows where their fortune came from, but people gossip around.
    Jay is Ray younger brother. He seems to be easy going, but he also has a few secrets in his past.
    Ray and Esme had only one daughter, Heidi. She became a model. After her golden years were gone, she married a man who works for her father.
    Grant Silverman and Heidi had a beautiful daughter, Alyse.

    Alyse is the third generation in her family.
    Now that she became an adult, Alyse will have to work hard to convince the Flemings to let her manage their empire, as her grandfather does not believe women can be leaders.

    General info - ages and hobbies:
    Ray: 70, wine tasting.
    Esme: 69, yoga and meditation.
    Jay: 63, playing any games for money.
    Heidi: 47, social media like Simsbook.
    Grant: 49, horse races and art.
    Alyse: 22, all forms of art.

    Coll, I've got someone.

    Household Name: Eldritch Raventhorn
    Age: 25
    Background/Bio: Eldritch Raventhorn is a walking, talking goth stereotype to most people that don't take the time to know him, and Eldritch is okay with that since it means that most people will avoid him and as a result he doesn't have to deal with fools. Eldritch wants to be an author of macabre stories, much like an modern day Edgar Allen Poe. He unwinds by listening to goth music (though he will listen to anything that is dark, nihistic, and/or weird), drinking fine wines, dark beers, or coffee, reading books, and sometimes going out to the cemetery at night. In addition to this, Eldritch is knowledgeable about vampire culture and is a romantic that makes sure that his lady is treated as his dark queen. Eldritch can be found with the Arving Heights hashtag.

    Note, I created this character while listening to the music of Sisters of Mercy which is why he is a goth.
