Rune is the oldest child of Solvej and Patrik, and an active member of the local boy scouts. He is taking a little bit after his father by showing some interest in sports and working out, and a little bit after his grandfather by showing an interest in art and painting. So far he has not shown much interest in music, though he certainly has the potential to do well with it, as he has inherited the ability to excel in music from his mom.
Spouse: Solvej Rasmussen
Children: Rune Rasmussen, Silvia Rasmussen, Lilian Rasmussen

Patrik is the only child to parents Nils Ivar Jensen (13.02.1946 - 16.09.2012) and Gertrude Jensen (née Myrvoll) (14.05.1948 - 18.11.2021). His parents were proud farmers from the nearby town of Warenford, and one day had hopes that Patrik would take over their farm, but unfortunately he had other ideas and instead wanted to pursue a career in sports playing football, hoping to win the national championship to gain fame, money.. and women.. of course! So... after finishing high school in his hometown, he moved out to the nearby slightly bigger town of Sprottenham to join the local team, much to his parents disappointment.. and since they had noone to take over the farm, they found it necessary to sell it when the time came for them to step down and retire...
Patriks father, unfortunately, didn't get to witness much of his sons success on the football field as he died of cancer only four years after he had met Solvej. Gertrude got to see most of it though, and eventually ended up being quite proud of her son, even though the disappointment of him not wanting to keep the farm still lingered.. She unfortunately too died of heart disease about two years ago. When she still lived she was always very proud of Rune as well, as her only grandchild, and there was no shortage of cookies, candies and hugs, but unfortunately she never got to meet the twins before she passed away... though she most definately would've been very proud of them too!

Born and raised in what is known as Freetown Ciani Tharis, a small
distance outside the county capitol of Wad Nahadau, just some miles to
the northeast of Sunset Valley. She grew up in a hippe-esque household
with her two parents Mona and Rolf, her uncle Hans-Tore and her aunt
Victoria, as well as her brothers August and Sylvester-René.
She early on picked up an interest in flowers and gardening from spending time with her mom tending to the plants
in the backyard. In general she enjoyed a very carefree and relaxed
childhood, before she decided to venture out and explore the world on
her own, first spending some time in an apartment in the nearby city...
but she could never fully deal with city living.. so she terminated the
tenancy on her apartment, packed her most important belongings in her
van, and took off to live a few years on the road...

Girlfriend: Inge Reppe
The result of a failed relationship between Ranveig and the local Prison
Warden Fredrik Fredriksen*, he was raised alone by his mother, a
journalist and chess player, living in Mosquito Cove. Later when he was
still in high school his aunt Monica got him a summer job as an
assistant at the Landgraab Research facility, and this greatly sparked
his interest in science, which later lead him to go to university. This
was also around the time he started dating Inge after she had finally
picked up the courage to leave him a paper note on his desk...
She had been eyeing him for a long time when riding the school bus, but as she had always been told by her peers that she was a loser, she didn't have much confidence in her to take any kind of initiative.. but I'm sure now she's happy she did.

Ranveig Motorsen is the firstborn child of chess prodigy and world renowned surgeon Ingmar Motorsen, and dynamic DNA profiler Eirin Motorsen. When she was a child she, and eventually her younger sister Monica, was often left under the care of a continuous flux of babysitters while her parents where busy focusing on their careers and participating in chess tournaments.
As she got a little older, she caught an interest in chess from witnessing her father competing in ranked games of chess in their home, and an interest in investigating (which later turned into an interest in journalism) from her moms career in the police force.
The school years weren't easy for Ranveig, as she often got bullied for 'being different' and showing up to school in her swimwear even if no swimming classes were scheduled. She never understood why she, and also her sister, were so different from everyone else. Before she started school, she had never thought that mom having conversations with herself in the bathroom every morning was anything unusal, because that's just how it was.. but she quickly learnt this was not normal, and something one shouldn't do in public.. but sometimes the vocies just got to intense to resist the urge to talk back..
In her teenage years she became an older sister again as her mom, unplanned, gave birth to a pair of twins, Eivind and Knut. These were particularly stressful years for Ranveig, dealing with her mental condition that kept getting worse, being a teenager and keeping up a facade, babysitting her three younger siblings and handling the bullies at school all the while trying to get a good grade, as well as several instances of unrecruited love..
Finally as a young adult she was able to move out on her own, but didn't have much money, so she bought the cheapest house on sale - the old rundown Mosquite Cove - but atleast now she had a place of her own, and she felt a glimpse of happiness the day she got a job at the local newspaper - The Sunset Valley Gazette.
Now, following in the footsteps of her father she spent several years practicing chess and participating in tournaments to become a Chess Legend, as well as slowly climbing the ranks of her journalism career. She felt like she had everything in place - except for one thing, one thing that she had always wanted, well, atleast since she started high school. To one day get married and raise her own family.
She thought she had found 'the one', when she one day was sent out to interview the promising mayoral canditate Fredrik Fredriksen. He was such a sweet talking, handsome man, and she felt like walking on sunshine when they became a couple and she found out that she was pregnant.. but unluckily the relationship was short lived and ended before she gave birth to her firstborn son, Oliver Freddy Motorsen, and the years became hard again..
Now she was a single mother, still struggling to advance in her career and as a chess player... and Fredrik soon enough got elected as the towns mayor and began distancing himself from her, as it wouldn't look good for his public image if it were to come out that he was having an affair with a mentally unstable woman from the poorer part of town...
After that experience Ranveig gave up on finding love in the real world, and turned to fiction by devouring an almost unhealthy amount of romance novels and watching every episode of every show on the romance channel, before starting all over again to watch them on repeat...
Until one day she met the travelling bum and extreme sports junkie Gaute Bråheim - again for an interview for the Sunset Valley Gazette - about the increasing amount of tourists finally finding their way to this small dozy town..
He was the radical opposite of the ambitious and orderly mayoral candidate, and as he appeared to be interested in more than just an interview (or maybe he was just looking for another adventure), she decided to give it a go.. this 'relationship' lasted even shorter than the previous one, and by the time she found herself pregnant again, he was long gone...
Now after giving birth to another boy, Robert Bråge, she had become a parent for the second time, still single, still working on her career and trying to become a Chess Legend, as well as struggling with her mental condition and her moms words ringing in her head "to keep it within the walls of the house and not let the secret come out...", as if it wasn't apparent when she needed her toilet breaks at work because the voices became to much to handle..
It wasn't until she witnessed her sister Monicas oldest child, Lise Veronica, struggling with the same voices and putting on a swimsuit for her 13th birthday that she thought enough was enough and decided that enough was enough and had a serious talk with her sister and set up an appointment for the three of them to go to a doctor and finally get a diagnosis and treatment for their condition..
Her oldest son, Oliver Freddy, who also suffered the same, was away at university at this time, otherwise she would have taken him along too. She could only for the time being encourage him to seek help on his own, and hope that he would take the responsibility to do so.. He was out there living his life on his own terms now, and she couldn't force him...
