▲'''[[Mercutio Monty]]''' is a well known resident in my player stories in [[The Sims 2]] in [[Veronaville]]. He is the son to the late [[Claudio Monty|Claudio]] and [[Olivia Monty]], the younger brother of [[Fanon:Romeo Monty|Romeo Monty]], the older brother of the deceased [[Unborn Baby Monty]], the nephew to [[Fanon:Bianca Monty|Bianca]] and [[Fanon:Antonio Monty|Antonio Monty]], the younger cousin of [[Fanon:Beatrice Monty|Beatice]] and [[Fanon:Benedick Monty|Benedick Monty]], the older cousin to Magnus and Stacey Monty, and the grandson of [[Fanon:Isabella Monty|Isabella]] and the late [[Fanon:Patrizio Monty|Patrizio Monty]].

▲Mercutio is a few days younger than his pre-made counterpart. He started off as a [[Teenager]] with 6 days from being an [[Adult]]. In my player stories Mercutio is 10 days from being an [[Adult]], which makes him the younger brother of Romeo. The reason why I decided to change their birth orders is because Mercutio has fewer [[Memories]] than Romeo, and he doesn't seem to have had as much life experience. Their NIDs also state that Romeo was created first. Although Patrizio's memories state otherwise, I still decided to make Mercutio the younger brother of Romeo. When Mercutio grows into an Adult, he will be [[Voice|voiced]] by David Boat.

▲At the start of the game, the feud between the [[Capp family|Capps]] and the [[Monty family|Montys]] was still at large. But the traditions hadn't stopped the younger generation from crossing the boundaries and falling in [[Love|love]]. Mercutio and his friend [[Puck Summerdream|Puck Summerdream]] both had crushes on [[Fanon:Hermia Capp|Hermia Capp]] and vice versa. Given that Hermia had two crushes on her hands, I needed to decide which one she was going to keep, and which to let go. Puck was the obvious choice for Hermia as they had a stronger [[Relationship]] than Mercutio and Hermia did. So I brought Mercutio and Hermia's relationship down so that Puck was free to [[Going Steady|Go Steady]] with Hermia without interference. But Mercutio and Puck's relationship did not suffer, and I promised that Mercutio would get his chance.

▲Juliette's younger brother [[Fanon:Tybalt Capp|Tybalt Capp]] realized that she was missing, he guessed correctly that Juliette had gone to visit Romeo. But that wasn't the key reason why Tybalt went after her, oh no! When I saw Tybalt walking on to [[Monty Ranch]] I knew immediately why he had come. I had already read the information about the Capp and Monty families of Veronaville including the bit where Tybalt would come over and attack Mercutio. I had asked myself - what if Tybalt lost. Of course I didn't know at the time that Tybalt was the toughest and meanest of the Capp family youths. He went straight over to Mercutio and attacked him. Tybalt emerged as the winner - no surprises there. Romeo lectured Tybalt, but for all the attention Tybalt took, Romeo might just as well not have lectured him at all.

▲However the [[Romantic (social type)|Romantic]] [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)|Spell]] that [[Titania Summerdream|Titania]] and [[Oberon Summerdream|Oberon Summerdream]] had cast over Veronaville's youth, and my powers as a [[Watcher]] seemed to be doing their jobs. Because Mercutio soon rang Tybalt up on the [[Telephone]] and they exchanged polite conversations which eventually lead to Mercutio and Tybalt becoming good friends. Six months later Mercutio reciprocated the crush that Hermia's younger cousin [[Fanon:Miranda Capp|Miranda Capp]] had on him. They went steady just before the end of 2012. On a different computer I was playing the [[Summerdream Family]] household and Mercutio and Tybalt got into another [[Fight (social type)|Fight]] (I later repeated this fight on my computer). I didn't bother to watch the fight because I was already convinced that Mercutio didn't stand a chance. But later on I checked Tybalt's memories and one of the more recent memories clearly said - 'Lost a fight with Mercutio Monty'. On my computer this was seen as an excellent victory for Mercutio, and it was then that Tybalt finally saw Mercutio as an equal.

▲* While I never had a problem with Mercutio's messy hairstyle, it could be rather irritating that it covered part of his face including one of his eyes. When I discovered the 'side swoop' hairstyle from the [[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]] [[Expansion pack]], I saw it as the perfect hairstyle to replace his default one.

▲* Based on my deductions and gameplay experience in the Sims 2, two Sims with the same number of body points have a 50% chance of beating each other in a fight. For every additional body point one Sim has, their chances are increased by 5% and the other Sim's chances are decreased by 5%. By default, Mercutio has one body point and Tybalt has ten. So the chances of Tybalt winning were 95% and the chances of Mercutio winning were 5%. So technically Mercutio still had a chance of winning, as proved from the second fight they had in my player stories.
