amari's love shot; a bachelorette challenge

Are you ready to find love in the beautiful seaside town of Tartosa? Amari Walden, successful model and wedding photographer, is looking for her Mr. Right! Known for her appearance on the hit reality show Becoming Mrs. Blackburn 2, Amari is back a year later to take another shot at love. Will you capture her attention and develop a picture perfect romance?

About The Bachelorette

Amari is a 37 year old biracial black-indian woman with two amazing children, a loving family, a successful business, and a beautiful home in Tartosa. It seems like she has it all, but she longs for just one more thing: a loving partner to share her life with! You can read more details about her likes, dislikes, personality, and backstory here. Since BMB2, she's been focused on her family once again; spending time with them and proudly witnessing her oldest daughter, Prisha, graduate high school and leave for college. Her younger daughter, Maria, has come around on the idea of her mother finally finding love... as long as she also approves of the man in question, of course. And so, Amari has committed to trying the reality show thing just one more time. She's looking for a kind, mature man that respects her and her children, loves to laugh, and has a taste for the finer things in life.

No romantic traits allowed, please include one "negative" trait for fun, cc traits by kuttoe are allowed

Note: I'll be determining some parts of the challenge through actual gameplay, and some through storytelling/whatever I think will be fun. It won't be 100% random/me solely relying on the game. I learned my lesson with that when the game decided none of the men liked my last bachelor whatsoever... lmfao. Please keep this in mind when submitting!

Ferris Franklin for Amari's Bachelorette Challenge by @yooniesim

Ferris (he/him) is a 42 year old retired investment banker from the bayou of Willow Creek and has the accent to prove it. He is Creole (Black) and a divorced father of one adult daughter aged 21. You may ask how can someone retire at 42 (stay at home dad, anyone?)? If you're Ferris Franklin you can. He was very successful in his corporate career and now his money makes money.

Here is a little bit more about Mr. Franklin

Traits/About Ferris:

While Ferris is loyal and self-assured, he tries to hide the fact that he's also a jealous man. The jealousy makes him controlling at times and under certain circumstances but he just calls it 'dominance'. In that regard, he can be stubborn. The reason he was such a successful businessman is he was a straight shooter, calculated and cold in the boardroom. He took risks and they always paid off, even if it was at the expense of business partners (who may or may not be facing indictments currrently).

Some of this no-nonsense behavior spilled over into his personal life which cost him his marriage. He probably wouldn't ever admit to this, but losing his marriage is partly why he retired early, he realized it wasn't worth it anymore. Since his divorce when his daughter Gina was a teenager, he's taken up hobbies that give him the thrill of the risk but are much safer..... kinda. He's an avid climber and is learning to snowboard. He's a competitive bowler, too! He's just getting into robotics as it gives him something to do with his hands as time permits.

He's wealthy, attractive, humble and hoping to find love.

Preferences & Skills:

Take from that what you will.

Jason Neely for @yooniesim's Amari's Love Shot

29 / loyal, hotheaded, adventurous

Jason is a travel writer originally from Newcrest. As soon as he graduated from high school, he packed up his things and hit the road. He originally started writing on his blog (remember those?) of his travels around the sim world. He's been to each one at least once, and as an adventurous guy, he keeps coming back to the slopes of Mt. Komorebi.

Many peg him as a loner, but he's actually a sensitive guy that's just selective about who he allows in his life. He's exceedingly loyal and people have taken advantage of that in the past. Despite that, he is still a hopeless romantic and looking for a serious relationship. Now he is a hothead so competing for love might have some hiccups, but he feels he's up for the challenge.

Ramses was adopted from Egypt when he was 3 by a couple there doing mission work  and was brought back to the states, He unfortunately was placed into foster care when  the adoptive parents were blessed with triplets 1 - 1/2  years later.  Ramses spent his childhood in and out of foster care/ group homes until he aged out of the system at 18. Although incredibly bright, as a youth,  he got into trouble dealing with some of the street thugs in San Myshuno. (still has a few scars to show for it ) 

His saving grace was Mrs. Carter a retired social worker  who ran a youth program at the local Community Center. She  took him under her wings and it was with her influence, time and love Ramses went on to get his GED and attended Britechester  where his focus was Biology and later got a Bachelors degree in Nursing. 

Britechester is where he met his first love and thought finally his life was smooth sailing. They both became nurses, she was a Labor & delivery Nurse and He worked in the ICU in the Bay area. They were married for 5 years when his wife beat the odds and became pregnant but due to complications and becoming eclamptic she went into early labor and died from an amniotic embolism right after her emergency c-section. Their daughter, Seraphina,  subsequently suffered from seizures leading to a lot of health issues. Seraphina lived to be 4 but passed away from complications  after having a grand mal seizure. 

Ramses moved back to San My and started working in the NICU, passionate and wanting to advocate for the smallest and  most vulnerable patient populations. In the last few years he started  taking assignments as a travel Flight Nurse and has been working all over Simerica ever since. About 1 year ago Ramses  wife and daughter visited him in a dream telling him to let them go and live, that he is worthy of love and deserves a chance  again at happiness. 

Though he  has dated off and on, there has been nothing serious and  he wants to open his heart  up and find love again and to belong in a family again.

In between travel assignments he has a small brownstone in San My (he owns the connecting brownstones but his neighbors don't know.. shh)  that he lives in along with his traveling partner and companion Kota, the dog.

Malcom Shaw Jr. for @yooniesim Amari's Love Shot Bachelorette Challenge Young adult, ambitious, loves the outdoors, and smug(cc).

Available for private download if chosen.

Malcolm is the middle brother of identical triplets. Unbeknownst to his birth mom. She lived in an on-lay-line apartment in SanMyshuno. The already struggling single mom decided to do what she thought was best for her baby boys and put them up for adoption.

Marcus, Malcolm, and Malik were adopted by the Shaws a well-to-do couple in Sans Sequoia. They were not able to conceive on their own. The brothers are very close but different Malcolm is the creative one, while Marcus is an IT Engineer, and Malik is an athlete in college. Malcolm has gone on to write many successful playwrights and has now moved to blockbuster movies. He currently lives in Del Sol Valley but is willing to relocate anywhere as long as there is good wifi.

Marcus loves all things in the creative arts genre; visual, drama, musical, dance and even cooking is an artform to him. He travels quite a bit and has tasted delicious food from many places around the world. Marcus is currently in search of his birth mom and learning more about his ancestry. So far he and his brothers have had no luck. He loves his parents but he can't help but wonder about his birth mom.

In his search for his biological family, he realizes he too would love to settle down and have kids of his own. He's not opposed to stepchildren as he knows he is on the older end of his young adult life. Which means the likelihood of women his age already having children is a possibility.

For the "Amari's Love Shot" Bachelorette Challenge: Dante Crockett!

Age: Adult (43)

Traits: Shy, Gentle, Foodie

Secondary Traits: Essence Of Flavor, Fulfilled

First Impression: Innocent

Overall Impression: Caregiver

Career: Bakery Owner, "Dante's Delights"

Education: Culinary Arts Degree

Current Aspiration: Street Food (Learn all 27 City Living cooking recipes from food stalls)

Baking: 10 Cooking: 8 Gourmet Cooking: 7 Singing: 5 Piano: 5 Dancing: 4 Fitness: 4 Handiness: 4 Cleaning: 4 Charisma: 2

Born to a rather emotionally distant family, Dante was the sensitive odd one out. While he was never neglected, he was often misunderstood by his parents, who struggled to accommodate his emotional needs. His passion translated well into the drama club at school, where he dominated most musicals of the year. Everyone thought he’d end up in music or acting, until he went to college, where one random food stall in San Myshuno ignited a new passion: cooking. So he switched his major and never looked back.

By the end of college, Dante had acquired a particular love for baking that led him to experiment with taste and nutrition, searching for the freshest and most organic ingredients to enhance with the least amount of sugar possible. The manager at the bakery he worked at saw the young man’s potential and allowed him one special per month, where he would introduce customers to a new dish or pastry and have them anonymously rate it, determining if it would stay on the menu. It wasn’t long before his dishes became the talk of San Sequoia, leading the aging former manager to give him full reign to what is now known as Dante’s Delights.

Today, Dante’s Delight has multiple locations, with bakers he handpicked to continue his legacy of innovation, nutrition and mouth-watering goodness. Dante, on the other hand, is at home in Newcrest. He likes to relearn old songs on his father’s grand piano, visit food stalls to quench his savory tooth, and splurge on soft fabrics to lounge around in.

Alone.

In all his 43 years of living, his relationship with romance hasn’t ever led to marriage. He’s had two loves: one from high school, and one from before he took over the bakery. The latter had left, condemning him for not having a “real career,” which left its mark on him, no matter how much he knows better. It doesn’t help that he’s painfully shy, letting golden opportunities for a new romance slip through his fingers because he couldn't charm his way through a date. For all the joy he brings to people with his food, Dante the man can't do it on his own. What happened to the confidence of his school-musical days? He can't tell you.

But he can show how much he cares. He can take notes on your mood and make you a soup to cheer you up. He can find his chunkiest warm sweater give it to you when he nights are coldest. He can clean up the kitchen so you don’t have to think about it. He can sing a few lullabies to calm your nerves.

He is full of a love he’s been afraid and dying to share with someone. Time has not waited for him to get it together. So if a bachelorette challenge is what it take to put himself out there (even as he’s shaking in his boots), then he’s willing to do it, with his heart served up on a pastry dish. Delish!

what do you think @yooniesim ????

Bronx Reeves- a sim for @yooniesim 's Amari's Love Shot BC

Bronx is a photojournalist- and a fine one, at that, if he does say so himself. He's covered everything from the Strangerville scandal and far-off wars to Fat Tuesday in Willow Creek and the San Myshuno 1st Ward Junior High Sports Day.

But photojournalism is a full-time job and then some. After the third all-nighter in a row, over cold pizza in the newsroom, Bronx realized that there has to be something more to life than this. He wants a family to come home to at night. He wants those nights to be at reasonable hours. He wants someone to share his life with who isn't a cynical newscaster - or, worse, his boss- and he wants to make his art a passion and not a vocation.

The next morning, his sister texted him the casting call for Amari's Love Shot, and, well... here he is!

Bronx ought to have the photography skill at a pretty high level, but I didn't bother to give it to him in-game. He's on the gallery, tagged #amaribc - he's got the custom content flag, unfortunately, because of the pen behind the ear, but you made that, so I figured it was kosher.

Hope you have fun with him!
