The Cortez'/Beakleys

Joao Cortez is a violinist of great renown in Simerica. He was looking for an adventurous place to start living with his partner and thought there's no better place for adventures than the slopes of an active volcano...the old and new Pirri Beach inhabitants are very happy to have him living here as he's some kind of celebrity and thus they tolerate his sexual orientation quite freely.

David (or Dave) Beakley works with Ms. Byrnes and is the second Pirri Beach police officer. He'd go anywhere for Joao and though he didn't really think moving to the Island was the perfect idea he accepts it and is getting to know his neighbours at the moment.

The (new) Kellys

Mr. M.P. Kelly had enough of his life as a well-known musician and was on the lookout for a quiet place to live with his pregnant wife when he heard of Pirri Beach being reopened for applications after the Mr. Vezz desaster. He applied and was soon accepted and is now looking forward to being a stay at home dad for his little son while only occasionally playing small gigs at the Pirri Beach church for a living.

Though the picture doesn't look it Mrs. Stefanie Kelly is very happy to be in her new home. She hopes her husband found the right place to raise a bunch of children because she wants at least three!

And this is the youngest member of the family: Daniel Kelly. He was born shortly after his parents' move to Pirri Beach and doesn't do much more than bonding with mom and dad at the moment. Welcome to the Kelly family and congratulations on your new addition.

The Byrneses

Pamela Byrnes moved to Pirri Beach with her younger sister. She's leading the new eruption research institute in the old Pirri Beach lighthouse. While she has taken interest in the youngest Marceau brother also she's taking her responsibility for Pirri Beach's safety seriously and hopes to be able to prevent any future desasters.

Deborah (or Debbie) Byrnes was invited to Pirri Beach by the remaining Eastons to become the head of the newly founded Pirri Beach police department. Due to this work she doesn't have much time for anything else at the moment and is procrastinating her plans to have a family of her own for the time being.

The Celiks

Rahman Celik, an ambassador from Simkistan moved to Pirri Beach after the Mt. Vezz desaster. He was called to help with the public relations by John Easton. Mr. Celik was very happy to find the Kaplan family at his new place so he and his family are not the only Simkistanians in the neighborhood.

Nabila Celik, Rahman's wife, is a quite untraditional Simkistanian lady and likes her new town a lot. She's made contact with most of Pirri Beach's inhabitants fast and is at the moment awaiting the birth of her second child.

Little Hasan Celik on the other hand seems to be having a hard time adjusting to his new surroundings. There aren't many other children his age at the moment so most of the time it's just him and his mom and her mom's various female friends. We'll see how this works out.

The Rabensteins

Klaus Rabenstein brought his family to Pirri Beach when he heard of the Mt. Vezz desaster. He's a paramedic and hopes to be of help to the surviving Inhabitants.

His wife Nadine agreed to the move willingly. Pirri Beach, after it's cleanup seems to be a nice enough place to raise a big family to her and she plans on having two or three more children the next few years.

Daughter Lenya doesn't look too happy in this picture but that might be because there are not exactly too many other children in Pirri Beach right now to play with. Hopes are this will change soon...

The Marceaus

Mrs. Svensson welcomes the Marceau family in Pirri Beach. The family consists of

Thomas Marceau, the eldest brother. He's the one who paid for their move to Pirri Beach as he hopes to find good circumstances here for his "research" on extrasimmestrial intelligence. His siblings sometimes wonder if he's gone a little crazy but as he's a very nice and kind sim (if only he wasn't talking about aliens all the time!) they love him dearly.

Delphine, firstborn of the Marceau-twins. After graduation she didn't exactly know what to do with her life so she went with her siblings. The Marceau's parents are missing since the twins were teens so Delphine and her twin brother were raised by Thomas.

This is said twin brother, Julien. He's a very nice guy but a little absent sometimes. He's hoping to find some cute lady to marry in Pirri Beach and cannot wait to move out of his brother's house once he found his Mrs. Three Bolts.

Newsflash - Survivors!

The surviving Easton family members donated all their funds to clean and provisionally rebuild Pirri Beach. Everyone is still mourning the death of family and friends but is also determined to let life go on. Thus Mr. Easton invited new families to live in Pirri Beach. While there's still no news of the Simmons Clan, Mr. Easton has hopes at least some of them made their way to the ferry in time and just haven't returned yet. We'll keep you updated and will be back soon with news about the new inhabitants.

Noah Svensson

Noah is the son of Olaf Svensson and first wife Mary (n.e. Easton). He has inherited his father's eyes and the brown hair and small nose of his mother. His whole close and extended family loves the little boy to pieces as he's the first great-grandchild to the original Eastons, Harold and Grace. At the moment, Noah is raised by his father alone with the help of a nanny while his mother and his father's second wife Cheryl are attending college. This helps the father-son bonding a lot!

Samuel Easton

Samuel is the latest addition to the Easton clan and son of Sean Easton and wife Kayla (n.e. Limburgh). Looking almost completely like his father he spent his baby days bonding with the close and distant family and enchanted everyone with his lovely smile.

Now that he has turned to a toddler, Sam is still charming but also shows some seriousness not expected in a very small child. His parents hope to prepare him well for adult life and the possible taking over of the family business.

Anna Garcia Rupio

Little Anna was born to Gabriella Garcia Rupio as a 'child of the gods' as it is called in the Valonic faith. Each summer the ordinated priestesses have a celebration in which they choose one man and 'unite' with him. Noone really has to know who said man is but in this case he does. It's Olaf Svensson and he shows his support for Gaby and Anna by paying legal child support for her.

Anna herself is a very happy child. Her mother takes good care of her in the little house downtown that she purchased after her move out of Aurora Valons home. It is not yet known if Anna will follow her mother's footsteps and become a priestess herself.

Colin Valon

Colin is raised by the Garcia Rupios. He loves his foster mom and family a lot and rewards them with a happy and content attitude.

Charismatic little Colin can play hours on end without ever whining or complaining. Sometimes he's almost suspiciously quiet and Mhaire then gets him to play with her for a while. He's also a fast learner and is already able to walk and talk.

Gavin Valon

Gavin Valon was born to Valonic high priestess Aurora. Since he's weened he's raised in the Easton household. Gavin seems to be an unhappy and cranky little guy constantly whining. Maybe he misses his mother though Stefanie Easton gives her best to cheer the little guy up.

Aurora Valon

Aurora is a blonde woman of unknown descent. Noone knows why she chose Pirri Beach as a home and how on earth she passed the immigration tests. She arrived shortly after the Eastonic cult was established and the same minute founded her own cult called Valonic. She claims the foundations of the Valonic faith reach back thousands of years and is very particular about the requirements to get 'the knowledge'.

She has chosen to accept female virgins only for training. Thus she prefers when the girls arrive at her house as children. Teens are accepted also but must prove their virginity and preserve it until their ordination. Her first novice is Gabriella Garcia Rupio.

Aurora gave birth to twin sons two rotations ago. As she decided priestesses can't keep male children as soon as they're weened she found foster families for the boys and gave up on them.

Michel Svensson

Michel is the next one to deal with a mother that wants to HAVE kids more than wanting to actually CARE for them. He's a boy though and will have to see if this changes things. At the moment Michel is a content happy little camper...

Liv Svensson

Little Liv is a quiet child. So quiet her mother nearly always forgot her in her crib and went on with business as if she wasn't there. Thanks to Liv's brother Olaf the social worker never came, because he learned how to make bottles for his little sister when his mother was too busy watching tv to nurse her.

Now as a toddler Liv doesn't have the best view on life. She expects bad things to happen and thus never finds something to be happy about. Olaf had a hard time leaving her behind and now she's on her own surviving in her boy-loving family.

Olaf Svensson

Olaf wasn't happy to leave Simdinavia behind. He missed his friends and school and the language he grew up with a lot. When he realized Pirri Beach's female overpopulation his view on the move changed though. He fell madly in love with Gabriella Garcia Rupio and planned an marrying her as soon as he could afford it. He was really depressed when he realized she was to become a Valonic priestess and didn't date any other girl for a long time after getting to know the facts.

But he wouldn't be a Svensson if he hadn't found ways of dealing with it. He dived into college head over heels and studies Sim-psychology now. He's dating Cheryl Kaplan at the moment and through her discovered the Eastonic cult. It's only days since he converted but he already plans on becoming an Eastonic prophet and having at least three wives and hoards of children. Secretly though he's still hurt and hopes for Gaby to change her mind...the power of three bolts is never to be underestimated.

Pinja Svensson

Pinja is a very modern Simdinavian woman and had planned to keep her job even with a growing family. But Nannies are short in Pirri Beach so she is a stay at home mother at the moment caring for her three children. She's not happy about Leif's affairs but doesn't tell because secretly he doesn't care much for him either. He was just the ticket to getting the family she always wanted...

Leif Svensson

Leif loves Pirri Beach with it's female overpopulation. He doesn't care for kids or his wife or much anything at all except his own fun. And he has it. Work is not his strong side, he can't even do the dishes without feeling exhausted and he almost hates Pinja for making him go every day but someone has to provide for the growing Svensson family, right?

Carlotta Garcia Rupio

Carlotta was a very active and alert girl right from the start of her little life. She kept her family awake at night and left them enough mess to keep them busy throughought the day every day.

Things went on like this when she became a toddler. It took a while until the family found ways of channeling all her energy but...

...as soon as she transitioned to a child she went over to her sister's ballet barre and started practicing. This is pretty much all she's doing now except for earning perfect grades in school. Carlotta, though being very active is more of a loner. She doesn't have any close friends except for her sisters. But at the moment it seems that her ballet barre is all she needs.

Gabriella Garcia Rupio

Gabriella is a very beautiful girl since the day she was born. 'Little snow white' is the nickname she's going by to this very day in her family.

Even when she was a toddler she had that aura of thoughtfulness around her. Everyone was amazed at her meekness and only her attractiveness preserved her from being totally overlooked.

As a child she became a photo model for her artistic big sister Isabella. Isa dressed her up in all kinds of period costumes, flamenco dresses, mermaid costumes and took pictures of her beautiful little sister.

As soon as her teenage days started, Gaby couldn't steer clear of the attracted Pirri Beach males. From young to old everyone kissed the floor she walked on but she rejected all but one: Olaf Svensson. They had a few dream dates but never went further than kissing on the doorstep. Somehow Gaby knew there was something else in store for her. This 'something else' found her in the form of Aurora Valon, the Valonic high priestess of Pirri Beach. She invited her to live with her and learn all there is to know about the Valonic faith and Gaby agreed.

Now, after three years of hard training, Gabriella was ordinated and wears the blue robe and cap of the Valonic priestesses. Olaf was devastated as the priestesses are not allowed to marry. Gaby on the other hand couldn't be happier. She now has the ability to do good for everyone and she uses it.
