Friends and Neighbours

The Caine Family
Anthony, Thérèse and Françoise Caine
Funds: §19,000 

No one who saw Anthony Caine in high school would ever believe that he'd manage to snag a prize like Thérèse Arsenault, but he somehow pulled it off. Little Françoise has joined their family, but what does the future hold? Thérèse is ambitious but Anthony wants her to be family-oriented.

Anthony Caine - Male, Young Adult
Anthony sometimes imagines a different life. One where he feels he has a home. And where he feels Elizabeth. Feels he *has* Elizabeth...that's what he meant.
Traits
  • Handy - he can build a deck and a baby cage!
  • Neat - Elly loves this about him
  • Hopeless Romantic - he still dreams of finding true love, despite being married
  • Coward - oh sure, he tweaked Howard's ear, but he never worked up the courage to tell Elizabeth he loved her when he was free to do so, and then just waited around for his marriage to end without either fighting for it or ending it himself
  • Computer Whiz - "You're in phat city, man!"
Thérèse Caine - Female, Young Adult
Thérèse's heart led her astray and she is now seeking to get back on the path to success.
Traits
  • Star Quality
  • Virtuoso - linked to Star Quality: Thérèse "captivated" Anthony with her piano-playing, according to the strip
  • Perfectionist
  • Genius
  • Ambitious
Françoise Caine - Female, Toddler
Françoise sees more of her dad than her mum; and also more of Dad's friend Liz than she would like.
Traits
  • Brave
  • Genius
The Mayes Family
Paul, Gord, Tracey and Rosemary Mayes
Get them here
Funds:  §20,500 
Gord and Tracey were high school sweethearts. Now they're adults, even if they sometimes look a lot older, kept busy with their successful business and their two kids, Paul and Rosemary. 

Gordon Mayes - Male, Young Adult
Gord plans to own the whole city one day: his personal empire.
Traits
  • Technophobe - he just pumps gas. Anthony does all the computer stuff for him.
  • Vehicle Enthusiast - how could I resist?
  • Handy - obviously
  • Angler - I thought Gord needed a hobby. The only holiday he and Tracey ever took was to a cabin, so perhaps he did some fishing.
  • Born Salesman - how else would he wind up so successful?
Tracey Mayes - Female, Young Adult
Tracey married her high school sweetheart and hasn't ever looked back. She hasn't had time.
Traits
  • Family-oriented - all the females in For Better or For Worse want families.  Except for those who are clearly evil.
  • Good
  • Handy - she helped out at the garage in the early days of their marriage
  • Natural Cook
  • Friendly
Paul Mayes - Male, Teen
It's hard to say much about Paul: he hadn't been seen for years. Maybe he'll make more of a splash when he comes back for his 20th high school anniversary reunion.
Traits (randomly-generated because Paul so rarely appeared in the strip)
  • Workaholic
  • Frugal
  • Mooch
  • Friendly
Rosemary Mayes - Female, Child
Rosie is happy with her family. So far. Who knows what rebellion might come with her teenage years?
Traits (also randomly-generated)
  • Brave
  • Virtuoso
  • Light Sleeper
The Roomies
Candace Halloran, Dawn Enjo, Shawna-Marie Verano
Funds: §20,500 
Dawn, Candace and Shawna-Marie, originally from the For Better or For Worse comic strip, have finished school and clubbed together to get a house. Will these high school buddies stay friends forever, or will they go their separate ways as their careers and lives evolve?

Candace Halloran - Human, Female, Young Adult
Candace's tough exterior helps her keep people at a distance until she feels ready to trust them.
Traits
  • Daredevil
  • Genius
  • Savvy Sculptor
  • Grumpy
  • Computer Whiz
Dawn Enjo - Human, Female, Young Adult
Dawn's graphic design skills have made her a sought-after artist.
Traits
  • Photographer's Eye
  • Virtuoso - In the strip, Dawn completed her Grade 10 in piano during high school
  • Artistic
  • Friendly
  • Computer Whiz
Shawna-Marie Verano - Human, Female, Young Adult
Shawna-Marie got pipes from working in an ice cream parlour as a teen. Since then, she's worked to keep her mind and body fit.
