Gen One -- Bearly Gnome
shrouded with your endless and unconditional love of flora and fauna, you tend to your garden every day and enjoy being outdoors. unfortunately, loving the outdoors means you prefer to fend for yourself and your family. which doesn't always give you the riches you were inspired to achieve when you were young. yet, you are still happy.

never move out of your native world, that is your forever home :)
complete the gardening skill AND knitting skill

Gen Two -- Strictly Business Gnome
growing up, you and your family didn’t have much money. watching your parent constantly struggle with paying the bills wasn’t exactly your cup of tea. once you become of age, you get out of the house and start your own journey of struggle...in the great city of Del Sol Valley!

*attempt* to complete the fabulously wealthy aspiration
“accidentally” have a coworker (that you despise) die at your house
Gen Three -- Bare Essentials Gnome
living in the heart of everything that’s going on was very difficult growing up; it didn’t help that you were never close with your parents even to begin with. as you get older you start to dream about what life would be like to have a tight-knit family in a cute little (suburban) house. so, you strive to do just that!

Gen Four -- Mr. Floppy the Gnome
your parents were always extremely supportive of all of your ideas, always pushing you to do whatever you please; and since you were young, colors always stuck out to you. especially when YOU were in control of them! painting. i’m talking about painting. you paint. yay.

Gen Five -- Poolside Gnome
watching the hamster wheel go around and around really inspired you to do fitness. now, i don't really know why, but it makes sense in my head. so, you dream to be an amazing athlete and show off all of your athletic prowess to the haters in high school who told you you wouldn’t be nothing. jokes on them.

Gen Six -- The Ghastly Ghostly Gnome
out of your many siblings, the magic behind just about everything stuck out to you like a sore thumb. and maybe it was that sore thumb of yours you got from messing with your parents tools, but that’s beside the point. either way, you’ve always had a knack for fairytales and the unnatural. so you strive to become such; unnatural, but in the best ways possible. or you can become evil, up to you.

have your spouse die mysteriously, and then never remarry (possible spell casting accident?)
Gen Seven -- Guardian of the Gnomealaxy
just about everyone in your life was special, all except you. seeing your siblings excel in what your parents taught them was hard, you wanted to be able to stir the cauldron just right. sadly, you could never figure it out. all you were good for was making mac n cheese with it. so, in order to impress your family, you set a goal to make it to Sixam one day.
you guessed it, complete the astronaut career and rocket science skill
and since you are a little sleuth, complete the chief of mischief aspiration

have a one time affair with an alien (could result in you getting pregnant, or a divorce)
Gen Eight -- There’s No Place like Gnome
as sad as it sounds, you don’t really know what you want to do with your life. while one parent was out of this world, (literally) the other one was attempting to raise you. you never had a drive to do much of anything, not even make money. but, you know what sounds good? taking things from people who already have too much. it’s not fair that they have lavish lives while you are out here struggling to make ends meet. so, you’re a struggling kleptomaniac that’s always out of a job, what a basket case.
as you may already know, have the kleptomaniac and lazy traits
you leave your hometown and move to StrangerVille. it’s a wasteland out there.
complete the postcard collection

become best friends with your kid, you only live once!
raise a gorgeous cowplant and name him Joseph for me, please
Gen Nine -- High-Ride Gnome
your parents never had much money, but that is okay! they both made it work and all around, you had a pretty good childhood. your parents always told you to believe in yourself and you can reach for the stars. but not like your grandparent did, because that is a terrible path. so, why don’t you just stick with being a teacher.

Gen Ten -- Don’t Fear the Reagnomper
here you have it, the last generation! you survived! with all this history in the town you grew up in, it’s hard not to get lost in it. who lived in what house previously, how did this tradition come to be, who founded Henford-on-Bagley, and what exactly IS a chicken? the world may never know…except you. you might know, because you sort of know everything.
