Fanon:Nathan Jolina-Plumb



Nathan James Jolina-Plumb is the son of Nigel Plumb and Jamie Jolina. He was born and raised in Sunset Valley. At the time of his birth, there was some disagreement on his name, but his parents eventually settled on Nathan.

Origin and early years
Nathan was the result of a one-night stand between the two, who had met while Nigel was volunteering at the hospital. Jamie was stunned to learn that she was pregnant, and since his father was an elder, she wasn’t sure how long he would be around. Nathan's father died just before Nathan became a teenager.

It became clear very early that Nathan was a musical prodigy. He would play songs on his toy xylophone that had been bought for him by his half-sister Margaret, and he would play them with perfect pitch. It is impossible to overstate the depths of his musical talent. He is said to have composed his first song before he started school, and throughout his lifetime built a catalogue of over three hundred in number. He is also said to have composed at least one song for every important individual in his life, and when he was still a very young man, he performed for the one and only Grim Reaper.

The relationship between Jamie Jolina and her son turned very contentious in his teen years. She was apparently deeply distressed that Nathan had inherited his father’s more introverted temperament, with an artistic-creative bent, instead of her more outgoing personality. She was reportedly furious when she learned Nathan had dropped out of school.

Adult Life
By the time he was a young man, he’d developed a reputation as something of a ladies’ man. He’d had three children after barely turning young adult. His most notable conquest was heiress Holly Alto, daughter of the former mayor of Sunset Valley, Vita, and businessman Nick, who, it was said, had plotted the misfortune of nearly everyone they’d met. By the time their daughter had gotten involved with Nathan Plumb, however, both were deceased. Holly, though, was a different sort of person from her parents, notable for her patronage of the arts, and she’d bankrolled much of Nathan’s early career. Even so, Nathan’s half-sister, Margaret, was furious over the relationship, and it got worse when Holly had Nathan’s son, Noah.

Eventually Nathan moved into Villa Alto, the grand palace of the Alto family, and began to attempt to raise Noah. At the time, Holly was an elder and nearing death. The wheels were set in motion for Noah to inherit everything. However, Noah proved to be quite rebellious as a teenager, drinking, staying out late, even getting a girlfriend (who he'd eventually wed).

At the same time, however, Nathan's affections were turning to a co-worker in the orchestra. She was Shandra Summers Bellingham, a classically trained pianist born in Twinbrook. Nathan and Shandra eventually moved in together, and soon afterwards she learned she was pregnant. Three simdays later, their daughter, Savannah, was born. When Savannah became a child, Nathan and Shandra wed in Sunset Valley's Central Park.

While Nathan and Shandra began building their lives together in Sunset Valley's exclusive Summer Hill Court area, their fame and skill as musicians increased. Both eventually became master guitarists. They had a palatial home built in the same circle as the Landgraab and Alto mansions. When Savannah was a teen, the couple welcomed a second child, Sebastian. They would eventually renew their vows in Champs Les Sims, France.

Career
During his career, he didn't record many albums, but the ones he did record were successes. Instead, the bulk of his career was spent composing music for movies and television and performing live with the Sunset Valley Orchestra. His debut album, I Know Why the Farm Boy Sings, was a best seller.

Infidelity Scandal
When Sebastian, Nathan's youngest child, became a young adult, Nathan found himself and his wife with an empty nest. It was revealed that he had at least twelve mistresses, the most important of these was Dena Hart, daughter of Bebe Hart. Though Shandra remained in the Plumb mansion, it was clear after the revelations of the affairs that their relationship was strained. The gossip magazines had a field day with the scandal, printing sensational headlines that threatened to undermine his legacy as a composer.
