03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
Keith is the head and primary heir of the Irwin family.
As a father, Keith was a quiet enabler, not one to correct or discipline. He prefers to let his children learn lessons the hard way, and is always there to say "I told you so" but then to help them get back on their feet. While not overly affectionate, his children know that he loves them, even if it often seems like he loves business and money more.
Mariela Irwin
68 years old | NPC
Mariela married into the founding family.
As a mother, Mariela is suffocating in her attentiveness, though it comes from a place of overwhelming love for her children. She believes her way is the best and always insists on it. She is a mama bear to the max and will fight anyone--even a Vanderson--tooth and nail if they say a single bad thing about one of her children.

The name and specific age are yet undecided. The FC will need to look similar to Kalena (suggestions: Oscar Isaac, Adam Rodriguez). Please plan to either make this character married or else divorced. At least 2 children preferred. Basic traits: success-driven, domineering, competative, conflict with Kalena (after all, he did everything right but instead she was chosen as the family rep).
Kalena is the family member who couldn't seem to do any wrong in the eyes of her parents. She is very much like both of them, something that has endeared her to them, and even after she got pregnant and ran off with her boyfriend she was still brought back into the family, and even made the family representative--a big deal among founding families. While the siblings have every reason to despise her, she had worked hard to earn their favor. *specifics undecided!

A few years after giving birth to Kalena, Mariela knew she wasn't going to get pregnant again. She'd already struggled with infertility and didn't want to wait anymore. She adopted from Africa, as there is no more benevolent place to get orphans from, and brought this daughter in and has always treated her like her own. This child is Mariela's favorite and most beloved, which also means Mariela rides her harder than anyone else. FC: African or African-American
Youngest bro
Age range: 17-22 | open
Not wanting her adopted daughter to be the only adopted child, Mariela adopted again from Africa some years later and brought this baby boy home. He was a very difficult baby, and truth be told he was probably raised a little more by the live in nanny than he was by his mother. As the youngest, it's likely he feels like time wasn't spent on him, as the parents had their eyes set on the older kids. FC: African or African-American
Venus
Twelve years old | NPC
Venus is the apple of Kalena's eye. The two have weathered every storm together. They are genuinely one another's best friends. Because of this, Venus is a rather precocious young girl, aware of more things than she ought to be and able to fit right in among her mother's peers. Venus is thrill-seeking and a lover of spontaneity. She doesn't let her emotions get the better of her, and she seems to possess a wisdom beyond her years.
