|careerlevel = Drive Throughthrough Clerk

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

Mercutio is a few days younger than his pre-made counterpart. He started off as a [[Teenagerteen]]ager with 6 days from being an [[Adultadult]]. In my player stories Mercutio is 10 days from being an [[Adult]]adult, which makes him the younger brother of Romeo. The reason why I decided to change their birth orders is because Mercutio has fewer [[Memoriesmemories]] 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|voicedvoice]]d 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 [[Fanon:Puck Summerdream (C.Syde)|Puck Summerdream]] both had crushes on [[Fanon:Hermia Capp (C.Syde)|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 [[Relationshiprelationship]] than Mercutio and Hermia did. So I brought Mercutio and Hermia's relationship down so that Puck was free to [[Going Steady|Gogo Steadysteady]] with Hermia without interference. But Mercutio and Puck's relationship did not suffer, and I promised that Mercutio would get his chance.

However the [[Romantic (social type)|Romantic]] [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)|Spell]] that [[Fanon:Titania Summerdream (C.Syde)|Titania]] and [[Fanon:Oberon Summerdream (C.Syde)|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 [[Telephonetelephone]] 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 (C.Syde)|Miranda Capp]] had on him. They went steady just before the end of 2012. On a different computer I was playing the [[Summerdream Familyfamily]] 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]]'' [[Content pack#Expansion pack|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.

*Despite being a [[Popularity]] [[Sim]], Mercutio has several qualities that one would expect of a [[Romance]], or [[Pleasure]] Sim. Because of this, I will give him one of these two [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspirationaspirations]]s, as his secondary aspiration, once I have installed ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|Free TimeFreeTime]]''.
