Non-Player Characters

Well, you have the Sims played by people, right? There's also a number of Non-Player Characters. While many people believe that they each are host of different characters, I know better. They just change the alias they use on every lot, and have the ability to be in more than one place at once.
Here, I will reveal the true names of each NPC, and their personalities.....

Name: Fanny
Occupation: Maid
Cost: 10 Simoleons/hour, once a day
Reccomendation: Not that great when first getting on your feet, but once you're running a successful lot definitely worth it!
History: Due to childhood traumas, Fanny has developed a phobia of cleanliness. Therefore, while she does wash her hands, she is reknown for her hygeinic problems. She also refuses to change her clothes, ever, for the same reason.
She suffered further traumatization when she accidentally stumbled into cities OTHER than Test Center, and found herself hired at SIMply Mel's Serenity. A Free Fanny group was started due to her cruel and unusual imprisonment.
She accidentally came to SMS a second time and not only was locked in the bathroom with one Cray A, but she also engaged Cray in a Bitter Bedroom Battle (because I didn't want the beds made!).
Now, Fanny still serves as a maid far and wide, although she is also going through therapy that should last her for several decades.
It was recently discovered that she had a secret affair with Juan the Gardener, and, through him, gave birth to Lauren the Newspaper Girl!!
Name: Juan
Occupation: Gardener
Cost: 10 simoleons/hour, once every 3 days
Reccomendation: Only worth it if you have a lot of plants
History: Very little is known about Juan's past. He speaks very little Simlish, or English for that matter. Mostly, he quietly waters plants. It's even suspected that he speaks the secret language of Floran, the native language of plants and people from Florida.
What is known about Juan is that he was born in a place called "The Cabbage Patch", hidden deep in the remotest part of Mexico. He has had an affair with Fanny the Maid and is secretly the father of Lauren, the Newspaper Girl!!

Name: Ruby McRoupier
Occupation: MOMI Roulette Table Worker
Cost: Whatever you bet!
Reccomendation: Uh...only if you have a casino (duh)
History: (Copied from the Who Are The NPCs? thread on Stratics, post by Tony Ceponi) "Once a sexy Vegas showgirl, Ruby McRoupier is now one of Interhogan's finest gambling connoisseurs. After a bad breakup with her ex-husband BJ Poker, she wanted to change her life for the better; she thought the life of a croupier was just what she needed.
Unfortunately, some of her old showgirl tendencies seem to seep though her new personality: (see image)
Her beautiful methods in the art of taking bets and spinning the wheel have left others in total awe. As a result, SimClone, an Alphaville based company, legally attained Ruby's DNA and has distributed 100s of her clones across SimNation. Goes to show, all you need to succeed is a little luck and determination, take it from Ms. McRoupier!"

Name: Paul
Occupation: MOMI Ice Cream Seller
Cost: The cost of restocking (but you make more than that!)
Reccomendation: Cheap ice cream is ALWAYS a good idea
History: (Copied from Allison Chain's post in the Who Are the NPCs? thread) "His Momi owns the company. He does the ice cream job between gigs. He really belongs on the stage, he just needs to be discovered. He waits for Drew Carey or Avril Lavigne to show up at his stand. THAT'S the day he's been saving the chocolate ice cream for!
'All those stiffs get the strawberry junk' he mutters. He secretly licks his thumb before handling the cones. It makes him feel better. He's sure this is all beneath him.
He knows when he gets his big break and becomes a superstar, he's leaving this cold cruel ice cream stand behind. He can't figure out why his Momi makes him GIVE away all the ice cream in the first place. He could make a killing if his Momi would only let him charge for it."
The one thing the experts at the Cache haven't figured out is the constant changing of his skin color.

Name: Lauren
Occupation: Newspapergirl
Cost: Free (It's cheap, it's easy...)
Reccomendation: You don't get a choice...
History: Her father was very drunk when Lauren was born, and the midwife was blind (and that may have had something to do with why the mother was unconscious) so no one could really tell whether or not Lauren was a boy or a girl. Therefore, the fairly unisex name of "Lauren" was chosen for her. As a child, she suffered a lot of ridicule over her name, which resulted in her terrible fashion taste. She now wears shorts, year-round. The shorts make her butt look much larger than it really is.
Lauren's parents are Fanny the Maid and Juan the Gardener.

Name: Ernie Cloroks
Occupation: Repairman
Cost: 50 simoleons/hour, whenever hired.
Reccomendation: If you have 0 mech and lots of cash, I say go for it. Otherwise, plenty of max mechanics out there you could hire (possibly for less).
History: Sadly, Ernie is only 18 and has prematurely lost nearly all of his hair and his skin has become very wrinkled. This is believed to be because of the bad hair-loss genes he has inherited, and the fact that he rubs his electricity-tossing fingers together. No one knows how he learned to throw lightning from his fingers, but there are several theories. One of these is that he rubs his hands on balloon arches, wherever he finds them. The second is that he is a descendant of the famous tribal chief "Big Chief Rubs-His-Fingers-On-Balloons-And-Then-Throws-Lightning".
Information on Ernie is hard to come by, since he cannot speak. This is due to an accident he was involved in as a child: he glued his mouth shut while trying to reattach fur to his cat.

Name: Heather
Occupation: MOMI Hot Dog Seller
Cost: The cost of restocking (but the owner of the stall tends to make more than that)
Recommendation: Pretty good idea, but not as tasty as ice cream!
History: Heather is most famous for her work as a hot dog seller, but she also has done some work in the medical business. In fact, she is the blind midwife who delivered Lauren. A question of great debate is about how she became blind. DNA tests show that she was not blind at birth.
One popular theory is that Heather accidentally squirted ketchup into her eyes, and, in a wild attempt to get it out, accidentally squirted mustard into her eyes. The condiments then dried forming a cover over her eyes. Scientists agree that this might account for the dried condiments that cover her eyes.
Heather is unique in that she is the only known NPC to have any relationship with a Sim. Heather is the girlfriend of Loca's friend's sister's other friend's brother. Also, she is believed to be married to the McDonald's man!
Like Paul, who may somehow be related to Heather, the inexplicable changes in her skin color are unexplained.
