Enzo Atkinson



Enzo Atkinson is a kind-hearted, hard-working Sim, husband of Izumi Atkinson and father of Lucy Lucero.  He is the son of Adelaide Atkinson and Finn Webb.  His twin brother is Rusty Atkinson, and his two half-brothers are Daquan Gherda and Clive Pruett.

Enzo is Neat, Incredibly Friendly, and has a Green Thumb.  Not that he needs it!  Enzo's Gardening skill has been maxed out since the beginning of his Adulthood.














Claire Gherda instilled a healthy love of spicy food in all the children she co-parented with Finn and Adelaide.  Enzo is no exception. Upon becoming teens, he and his siblings quickly became Spice Festival Champions.

Enzo's relationship with his twin brother Rusty is a deep bond forged at birth.  The two were thick as thieves throughout their childhood and early adulthood, maintaining a powerful connection even as they chose separate fields of study and occupation.  

Enzo and Rusty as Young Adults


Enzo studied the science of botany and the art of gardening.  He became a masterful gardener and florist by his young adulthood, growing all kinds of flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables.

Izumi worked as a fitness instructor for a little while before retiring to take care of daughter Lucy.








"My gloomy 'Zumi and my little Lucy are my whole world!  They're my strength."






















Emmitt Culver

An older man with a full head of messy grey hair stands against a purple-pink sunset, looking wistful.


Emmitt Culver was a young rascal,
an opportunist who ran on impulse and adrenaline.  As a serial romantic and an astronaut near the top of his career ladder, nothing felt complete to him without thrill.





Over the years of his young adulthood, Emmitt made a deceptive art of juggling as many as 8 romantic partners at one time.








This would eventually come back to bite him, but Emmitt never had plans to settle.  Despite this, he sired more than a dozen children, with nearly as many women.

Emmitt became a deadbeat dad, going off on adventures by himself, or with new dates.  Doing reckless things, having public sex, and ignoring the consequences.

One daughter, Miranda O'Keefe, offspring of Emmitt Culver and Scarlet O'Keefe, has had over 10 children of her own.  Upon learning this, and becoming an elder around the same time, Emmitt decided his reckless lifestyle needed to change.  He had missed out on so much of his children's development, and he wasn't about to let his grandchildren grow up without him too.

His family needed help.  They needed him!  And though he's averse to admitting it, he needs them too.

Emmitt: "It's been weird, moving back into the house where I grew up.  Where we all grew up! The house I almost burned down, several times!  But it's so good to be surrounded by family.  Yuck, I sound like my sisters! Hahaha."






Now Emmitt lives with over twenty of his children and grandchildren in a refurbished Daisy Hovel.  He is dedicating his time to improving his relationships and giving as much love as he can in the time he has left.

Desmond: "Emmitt's always been really self-centered.  This shift we're seeing in him is unprecedented.  I feel like I finally have a Dad."
