Fanon:Dortheimer family

=How it all began=

Once upon a time,

A young woman from Veronaville, Neptuna Dortheimer

Married a handsome young man named Saturnin Loviper.

She was happy with him, but she passed over

Her newlywed husband's twisted and mad nature.

She had three lovely children with him:

Auda, Jeanne and Célestin.

After the kids reached the age of twenty,

Neptuna discovered her husband's insanity,

But too late: for apparently no reason,

He chased her in their luxurious mansion

And when he finally reached her,

He whacked her with a huge hammer.

The three children, seeing their mother dead on the floor,

Cried upon Neptuna's death.

They decided Saturnin wouldn't kill anymore

And made him give up his last breath.

They drowned him in one of the nearby rivers

And sunk the body into the dismal waters.

They swore to each other that never ever

Would any Dortheimer perish like their mother.

They would narrate the dire events

To any of their descendent

As such they wouldn't ever

Trust anyone like did their mother.

=Description=

The Dortheimer family is an enormous legacy with actually counts 20 generations. It's members are presents in most cities from SimNation, and some even had taken part of SimNation's government. They all stacked moutainous amounts of cash for the past centuries and gained power, fame and wealth.

However, they are also known to count a wide number of evildoers, criminals, black widows and corrupted politicians in their ranks. Most of the Dortheimer's spouses generally don't last long: this is the result of the first generations of the family who teached their children to never trust anyone: they should never ever marry anybody in order to preserve themselves from Neptuna's fate as much as they could. However, Astrid Dorrtheimer, the first really evil Dortheimer, shuffled the tale and taught her own and her sisters children that the should marry and them eliminate their spouses in order to protect themselves from being killed by them. In fact, Astrid mostly had after the in-law's money.

The most famous and evil Dortheimer also are generally very intelligent and ruthless, making them dreadful: many are proficient and greedy sharks that would never stop at anything to get what they want. Adn they are either loaded or bright enough to avoid slammer.

There hopefully also are some Dortheimer that are highly caring and and good-hearted, but they often are intimidated or overshadowed by their evil relatives. They are sometimes stronger than those, however, like when the honest Pulchérie won the presidential elections against her evil, cunning and demagogic relative Marie Rose.

=Activities=

The Dortheimer are or have been very influent in most publics domains, most notably business, the Underworld and Politics (usually assorted with many sordid cases of corruption). Here's a non exhaustive list.

Underworld
The legacy bears among its members some of the greatest criminals of all the time. First, spouse murdering is almost a family tradition. And even if they genarlly are highly suspected, no one could ever have gained enough evidence to send them behind bars. Moreover, despite their gruesome reputation, the Dortheimers usually find a husband/wife.

But there are some who in addition to this are members or leaders of criminal organizations searched by all the polices of the world. The best examples would be Rénata and her great grandmother Astrid who ruled over the Underworld for their entire life and gained millions of Simoleons with blackmail, robberies, hold-ups, murders and kidnapping among others

Politics
Many Dortheimer are involved in Politics. But the honest ones are ralmost inexistant. They all have been involved in cases of misappropriation of public funds, rigging markets and many others. They generally are members of one of the big political party Democratical Sim Union (DSU), which has always been stuffed with occult funds gathered by it's many members.

Examples:


 * Victorine Dortheimer, actual mayor of SimCity, Senator and Minister of Economy.
 * Stella Dortheimer, actual mayor of Huntsville (a self created town which is based on the small township from BigFishGames's casual game Mystery Case Files Huntsville) and minister of Education.
 * Andrée Dortheimer, former deputy of Twinbrook.
 * Angèle Dortheimer, former deputy of Pleasantview and Senator
 * Florian Dortheimer, former Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, as well as former Senator.
 * Mallorie Dortheimer, former mayor of Bridgeport, murdered during her mandate
 * Marie-Dominique Dortheimer, former mayor and later tyrannical ruler of Strangetown

Business
The Dortheimer all have a natural sense for business, and this led many of it's members to become CEO of many world-sized enterprises. For example, MorcuCorp has been directed by the Barnacle Bay lineage of the family for centuries, since Vanda Dortheimer. They, pretty much like the Landgraabs, own various shops, restaurants, enterprises. One of the most notable Sim from this category would be the first owner of the restaurant Le Dindon Gras in Riverblossom Hills, Gladys Dortheimer who died while she was trying to make costumers happy and manipulable.

Science
Some Dortheimer also are prodigeous Scientists. The great Inventor Claudia Dortheimer and the university teacher Simone Dortheimer are classifiables in this category.

=Life States=

Although most Dortheimer are being normal Sims, some of them have had a strong contact with supernatural. There have been for now:


 * 1 Mummy
 * 1 Werewolf
 * 2 Playable Ghost
 * 6 Vampires (and one of them was cured)
 * 5 Genies
 * 5 Aliens
 * 11 Witches (2 were Neutral, 5 were Evil and 4 were Good)

=Houses and Properties=

Being present in many many SimNation towns, the Dortheimer legacy owns a large number of houses which usually are rather costly. (This gallery is not exhastive for now)

=By Town=

Veronaville
The town where everything began. In my games for now, the "veronavillian" Dortheimer are from the 6th and 7th generation, being called Marguerite and her two children Adeline and Théo. Marguerite bought the Lighthouse Garden Shop on the river banks but the business is in serious trouble.

Barnacle Bay
Here lies MorcuCorp's head office directed by the local Dortheimer branch. Decades after the harsh and deadly rivalry between Margaux two heirs, MorcuCorp is now lead with an iron fist by Christine Dortheimer, while the latter's cousin Chantal is running a nice inn in the center of Barnacle Bay with her best friend Samantha to welcome tourists.

Hidden Springs
The 6th generation member and actress Gorgonie Dortheimer moved here to gain eternal youth. However, her daughter Ursanne didn't want to see her mother live forever and therefore keep all the money for her. She decided to polish her off to inherit. Some time later, Ursanne's descendants Charybdis and Scylla underwent a frightfully evil life and were turned into Demons.

Sunset Valley
At first, the town was inhabited by the criminal Astrid and her descendant, but later, her descendants Sierra and Orsolina sold the house to one of their old cousins Lily. Lily's descendants still lived in the town, in a tudor house near the cliffs until it's utter obliteration cause by the crazed Wanda. The latter's daughter fled to Moonlight Falls.

Riverview
Gisèle Dortheimer was the first one to arrive in this town. She moved twice, but her last house burnt and her son Lucas bought a new house on the hills, which is still inhabited by his sister's descendants. The house is notable for the enormous underground maze where many people are buried. For now, the ghost hunter Pascaline is the only remaining member of the Riverview branch of the family, as the rest of it had been entirely annihilated by the spirit of an envious ancestor.

Twinbrook
The Dortheimer own a marshy mansion in the expensive part of the town. At first inhabited by Clara Dortheimer's daughters, the latters' descendants swapped theitr house with their cousin from Pleasantview. Now, Florence's acrobat daughter Raina lives here with her 2 genies children Robert and Brigitte, as well as her niece Mina and the latter's daughter Mireille and Mireille's daughter Martine. The house was also inhabited by Florence cousins Hortense and Francine during their youth.

Sunlit Tides
Delphine Dortheimer bought an enormous villa in this shiny tropical atoll when she got fed up with Twinbrook's fog. She there fell in love with a native, that did not love her in return...

Lucky Palms
Armelle Dortheimer moved in a house on the Lucky Palms pier with her fortune-telling daughter Arachné, being attracted to the big Casino. The entire Lucky Palms branch of the family has been turned into vampires, except for the last one, Ursule, who is a ghost.

Bridgeport
4th generation's Pekoe and her two daughters lived here for a while before moving out. 9th generation's Mallorie became the town's mayor but she was murdered by a crazed maniac. Centuries later, the celebrity-thirsty businesswoman Queenie Dortheimer bought a large house on the hills.

Pleasantview
The pharmacist Barberine moved in here after her evil vampire cousin Lulu had been vanquished by the Hero. She was at first rejoined by her other cousin Odette's daughters Lisbeth and Claudette, but after Barberine's death and Lisbeth's twin's birth, they needed a bigger house and they swapped their's with the one of her distant relative Angèle, in Twinbrook. From now on, Angèle lives here with her two daughters Armande and Armelle.

Strangetown
After selling their tudor house from Pleasantveiw, Orsolina Dortheimer moved here in a moroccan Manor. She currently lives with her newlywed husband and her daughter Marie-Dominique. The latter became the town's mayor, but as time passed, she had become a ruthless tyrant. She was murdered by some rebels, but her spirits remained on Earth and continued to spread chaos in town with her help of her trio of Henchwomen and witches, the Shadow Sirens Marjolène, Maryline and Viviane. After centuries of her ruthless reign, the town had been completely isolated from the rest of the world and nearly destroyed, when four heroes finally sealed Marie-Domnique's spirit in her Shadow Palace. Yet she has not been completely vanquished, and the Shadow Sirens still are on the loose.

Desiderata Valley
Marcia moved here after fleeing away from her family. Another branch which is not really developped. Currently at 7th generation.

Currently, Hortense's four granddaughters Pallas, Judith, Rachel and Argine live together with Judith's husband and her daughter Babette.

Riverblossom Hills
Many Dortheimers lived here. At the fifth generation, Astrid's niece Charline moved here. The family remained here until Gisèle's fiancé's murder. Some years later, the house was bought by Gladys, from the 13th generation after her seashore villa from Huntsville burnt to the ashes. She also bought a successfull restaurant, Le Dindn Gras. Her granddaughter Arlette sold the house and bought a semi-greenhouse manor. When it was destroyed by an incoming satellite, they moved back in the sleepy town of Huntsville where they rebuilt the ruins of tthe red seadhore villa. Shortly before their return to Huntsville, another part of the family moved in: Phyllis moved here from Sunset Valley. They first bought Gisèle's old home but then moved into the biggest house in town when Phyllis' Great-Great-Granddaughter Victorine became mayor of SimCity. Currently at 19th generation.

Huntsville
A self-created town. Dorothée moved here from Pleasantview with her daughter Magdala in the red seshore villa mentioned above. A large proportion of the family remained here family remained here until the villa's destruction. Some time later, the villa was rebuilt and the family came back. Currently at 18th generation.

Moonlight Falls
The crooky medium Marie-Soleil moved here when she was called by Annalove Ivy to help her into freeing her family from the grasp of two great evils. She loved the town and fell in love with a fairy. She got married to him and got a daughter Farore. And Marie-Soleil invited her cousin Ozalée to live with her when she learnt that the latter's mother obliterated the town she lived in. Currently at 20th generation.

Monte Vista
Annick Dortheimer came here in search for a husband, and she brought her elderly mother Armande with her. Now they are all enjoying a peaceful life in this sunny town.
