[Games] One Family NTNB - Round 1
Hi all! It’s been ages since I’ve posted properly here (I started university last October and that immediately started gobbling up an awful lot of my free time!), and I hope everyone’s well :) I thought it might be fun to run a wee NTNB focusing on a single family — in particular, I fancied looking at the kind of family where there are Wikipedia pages going back for generations and everyone goes to Oxbridge and becomes friends with the royal family (although I feel it’s my duty as a Cambridge student to point out that most people here are normal and we don’t even have any British royals here at the moment, as far as I know).DH [45]:
DW [42]:DS [19]:
DD [16]:
DH is a wealthy investment banker, originally from Naples in the south of Italy; his wife, British but of French heritage, is a successful fashion designer and critic, as well as a former model. Her modelling career came to an end at the age of 23, when she fell pregnant with DH’s son. Their DS can’t remember a time before his parents’ financial success, and, materially, he has never wanted for anything. He was captain of his private school’s rugby team, and popular among his peers — but now that he’s left secondary school to study business at a London university (renting a flat from his father), he can’t help but feel as if there’s still something missing. His younger sister is a quieter, less outgoing soul than him, and she has an intense passion for art in all its forms. Her bedroom in the attic of the family’s house in an expensive area of London is an artist’s studio, with beautiful watercolour paintings, half-finished sculptures, and art history books scattered haphazardly. Despite their rather convergent interests, DD has never been close with her ruthless, no-nonsense mother, who despairs of her daughter’s head-in-the-clouds attitude and gentle demeanour.DH’s first name is a classic Italian name, and his surname is an Italian name which contains a double letter. He has no middle name.
DW’s first name is one which works in both English and French, her middle name was popular in France in the 1980s, and her maiden name is a long French name. She, as well as both her children, bear DH’s surname.
DS’s first name is a classic English name which isn’t tied to any particular time period, and his middle name is an Italian name which was popular in that country in 2003.
DD’s first name is a name from Greek mythology, and her middle name is an Italian name which will also be familiar to English speakers."Do you not find it happens very often, that you are as gay as Garrick at dinner and then by supper-time you wonder why God made the world?"
