COLTS BACKGROUND My name is Colt Brooks and this is my story. I was born in Bridgeport, my family, generations had worked for or were “owned” by the mob. As long as I can remember, everything we had was not easy to come by, We did not live the life of luxury. My father as did his father, and his before him, shed plenty of sweat and blood for ppl so high up that they could care less if we lived or died.
I was an only child, my mother really didn’t want to a “brat” as she frequently called me, to tie her down. She wanted what all the “other” women she saw in the “family” had. Nice homes, cars, jewelery. She hated my dad and the fact that he never had the gall the move up in the family but that he was comfortable where he was at. Janice, was her name and that is what I was to call her. My dad, Tony Brooks, had grown up on the tough streets. Watching his dad work for his corner store, but I knew my dad had other means of employment. You don’t come home at night beat up from owning a store.
After I finished 6th grade that is when I learned what is meant to be a male in the Brooks family. I was taken before the “head man” and he told me what was expected of me. It started out simple. Stealing car parts, cars, and knocking off businesses at the end of the day for their day. By the time I had turned 17, I was beefed up. Working out at the local gym, a high school drop out. I thought I was the King of my block. No one messed with my family or friends. I’d broke more bones then an a earthquake.
My mother died the yr I turned 17, drowned in a pool at the home of one her “friends”. I think his wife came home found them and accused him of cheating with her. My dad and I never looked back. Janice was never part of our lives. So when she died, it was like a distant relative had passed. No love lost.
Right before my 20th birthday, my dad had been telling me strange things about a book and how I shouldn’t have to live like this and that my life should have more meaning. I should have a “real” job and settle down and have a family. I blew it off as the ramblings of an old man. I saw the book he was talking about beside his bed, he often fingered it, flipped through the pages. Every now and then a tear rolled down his eye.
That night we had to do a huge bank job, my dad and I, alone. Something wasn’t right, I could feel it. We never did these types of jobs alone. I heard my dad say “last one out” , that meant time to go. We went in, started our business, then out of no where, it happened, my dad was down, I looked up and say one of the bosses goons looking at me, and “he mouthed your next.” Everything was in slow motion. I picked my dad up and ran, ran all the way to the Bridgeport bay. My dad looked me in the eyes and said, “Colt, I love you my son, go home get the book, YOU can change your life, change the path of the Brooks. Get out of Bridgeport and never look back.” Then a dark hooded man came, he pointed at my dad and laughed, “another Brooks male for my collection, sweet” then out of no where my dad shook his hand left with him. He made me promise him that i would do as he asked, and a Brooks never went back on his promise.
A few weeks after the funeral, I packed my few things, grabbed the book and out fell a envelope. Inside was a deed to some property and bus ticket to a place called “Sunset Valley”. I had around 1800 in my pocket, so I left.
COLT MEETS AGNESAfter arriving at my land, I decided to see the town. So off I went to the town square to see what the people of Sunset Valley where like. There I met a lady named Agnes Crumplebuttom. She was a very plain woman, not like the others I date or talk to in the city. But something about her story intrigued me. Her parents where pasted on. Her sister was married with only one son. Agnes had been married but shortly after the marriage he drowned and she never was never able to bring herself to take his name. We sat and talked for hours in the parks, quickly becoming friends then before I knew it we where back at her place. Before long I was flirting with her, and she with me. Taking a risk I confessed my feelings and then kissed her. She didn't stop me, but instead threw herself into the kiss as if her life depended on it.
We stepped back and looked at each other, I asked her if she would like to go back my "land" and help my figure out what to do with it, and off we went. The whole ride back, I was asking myself, "Colt are you crazy?? What are you going to do with this woman when you get her there?" I shook it off and thought things will fall into place .. they always do.
We pulled up and got put and walked over. I pulled her in to my arms and kissed her deeply before her she could say a word, I was down on on knee and pulled a ring out of my pocket and asked her marry me. I held my breath and waited, then she started giggling and jumping up and down and shouted "YES YES YES"..
Colt and Agnes had a private wedding after that. She sold her car, which gave enough to make a nice little start to their home and got Agnes a Art easel and sculpting base. She started Sculpting right away with ice.. Colt got a job at the local Criminal Warehouse, he met Zelda Mae and found out that she has a knack for gardening and asked her to move in with them and she agreed.
Colt likes fishing when he's not working or doing his chin ups.. He also met Christopher Steel in the park one day while he was fishing. He learning that Christopher liked fishing also and cooking. He thought well this can really help him out with his dynasty requirements. So he asked him to move in also.
But now, Zelda and Christopher are married, happily.
Christopher moved in with a puppy, ladybug, one evening after bug aged up I was with her in the park and decided to check on things in the house. When I left they where all busy. When I returned I heard chimes going off all over the house!! YES.. we are in trouble..
Agnes continued to sculpt and Zelda found peace in her garden. Colt went to work and Chris fished. Promotions and raises for all came and went. The days went by. By now since Colt has arrived in town, it's been 2 sim weeks and 6 days, Agnes has completed her 25 ice sculptures, now to work on the other 5 types of each.. I had her start out with the clay then when the ice came up went straight to that to get ahead start on it.
Outside View of house:
ZELDA'S GARDEN
ART/EXERCISE AREAS. (Gated and locked only for use for those that need it)
MARTIAL ARTS AREA: (Gated and locked)
As you can see in this one, I've added some small trees around the Martial Arts area.
Colt has trained Ladybug to sit and hunt. So between her hunting for gems and metals, Agnes' scultping, Chris and Zeldas income from fishing and gardening, it helps with the upgrades.
