Palash Chitrakaar

 

Palash is the second born child to famous musician and hit movie composer Laranya Chitrakaar and successfull painter Deepak Chitrakaar. He grew up in the town of Bewickton on an island off the west coast along with his four siblings. Udisha as his older sister, and Leya, Bhavan and Nitya as his younger siblings.

Whereas his sister Udisha early on showed an interest in painting and music, Palash had no such interests preferring instead to play with the doll house or this plush toy doll sent to the family by a far away aunt from overseas for hours on end. Laranya and Deepak let him keep the doll, but never said much about where it came from...

By the time he started school, some three years after his younger sister Leya was born, it became clear he had an unusual talent for numbers and understanding math. He quickly surpassed his fellow pupils his age to the point of finding math classes incredibly boring until his talent for calculus was spotted by the teacher and he got special, more advanced tutoring suitable for his level.

When his younger sister Leya started school some three years later it was even more clear that Palash perhaps was a little different from the rest of his family, as it was around this time he would also start exhibiting more peculiar behaviours such as talking to himself or having his periods where he would become obsessed with various conspiracy theories.

Udisha especially noticed that something was.. a little off with her younger brother and being a little concerned, she asked her parents about it, but Deepak and Laranya always did their best to evade the topic and never said much about where it came from...

It didn't get much better during his teenage years, though he always still did really well in school - in math in particular, some of his ideas just became weirder and weirder.. It was also around this time another one of his talents surfaced, as he turned out to be an excellent babysitter for his two youngest siblings Bhavan and Nitya in particular. Leya was a little tougher to handle as she was much closer to him in age, but he still had a unique ability to settle any dispute he may have had with her before they would escalate into the usual sibling rivalry...

In spite of his oddities here and there he always maintained a close bond with all of his siblings, including his older sister Udisha, and of course, also his parents, and by the time he became a young adult he only really had two, sometimes three, interests in life: Numbers, starting his own family and conspiracy theories....

He was a little to peculiar sometimes to do a good impression on most job interviews, but he was lucky that Udisha already had a job in the finance career and was able to put in a good word for him. His colleagues weren't to appreciative of some of his talk about his more far out theories during lunch, but this was still the perfect job for him as he left everyone in awe of his ability to accurately predict the future of the financial market - something that was believed to be near impossible. It was a mystery how his mind worked sometimes, but it worked brilliantly! Even his sister Udisha was left speechless on occasion!

Word even began to spread around town about this financial genious and it didn't take long before it reached the residents of the wealthy part of town heard about it... Both his parents and his siblings had by now thought that he would remain permanently single, in spite of his strong desire to start a family, because he was just to odd with all his conspiracy talk to last long enough in any relationship..

They thought the excact same thing when he started dating Sofia, this rich snob from the upper part of town, that it wasn't going to last very long.. It just didn't look like a match at all. What could she possibly see in him? They had nothing in common at all....

..which is why everyones jaw dropped when he announced to them that just a few months into their relationship that they would get married.. something which made even less sense once they got to know her.. not only did they come from very different backgrounds, but she appeared to be his radical opposite, especially on a very fundamental thing, as she just always one way or another showed an extreme disdain for children...

Palash sure appeared as a bit of an enigma to them all.. either he saw something in her they didn't, or this marriage was doomed to fail...

Leya Chitrakaar-Bråheim

 

Leya grew up in the west coast town of Bewickton as the middle child of a group of 5 siblings. The older siblings being Udisha and Palash, and the two younger ones being Bhavan and Nitya. Leyas mother Laranya is a famous musician and hit movie composer, while her father Deepak is a successful and well known painter. Growing up in such a creative household Leya, like her sister Udisha and eventually Nitya early on showed an interest in both painting and music.

Udisha as the older sister, is more traditional and 'home bound', so she stayed behind in town, whereas Leya felt more restless and wanted to leave to explore the world.. She didn't travel that far though, she only took the ferry to the mainland to seek a career in music in the county capitol of Cyme Ixotic..

This is where Leyas story has some similarities to Solvejs story, as she during this time met a football player from Sprottenham.. this football player was the then goalkeeper of the team, Glenn Hoddelås. She fell in love with him, and together they moved to his hometown Sprottenham on the east coast, and a few years later they got their first child, Bodil...

But after a while their relationship turned sour, and they split and Leya, with her daughter Bodil, became desparate for a new place to stay... So as a temporary solution she moved in with Solvej and Patrik and their son Rune. However, what was meant to be only temporary became permanent, and around this time she got acquainted with their peculiar neighbour who squatted in this rundown house across the street called "Gufo Triste"..

This neighbour was Gaute, and at this point in time he was still living a carefree life as an extreme sports junkie, travelling bum and wild party animal.. He was already a good friend of Solvej, as he had saved her earlier when her car broke down as she was travelling eastwards, so both Leya and Solvej would frequently get invited to his parties, and sometimes Leya would attend as well...

Gaute became so enamoured with this new woman who wasn't like all the other women.. This one was a challenge, and he just couldn't get his mind off of her.. where every other woman showed up at his swimsuit parties in their swimsuit, she still held on to her everyday clothes.. what a woman! ;)

Eventually him and Leya became a couple and then of course he couldn't be living in that dump of a house anymore, so he moved in with her and her daughter alongside Solvej, Patrik and Rune.. this went well for a while, until around the time when Leya was pregnant with their son Orinder and following a dispute with Patrik, Gaute made the decision that they should move out and get their own home...

Parents: Solvej Rasmussen, Patrik C. Rasmussen
Siblings: Rune Rasmussen, Silvia Rasmussen

Bio::

Lilian, along with her twin sister Silvia, is like most toddlers.. she enjoys spending time playing with toys such as the xylophone or the doll house.. or when left unattended, to splash around with the water in the toilet bowl... She has also shown some interest in playing football, but her sister Silvia is likely to have already got a hold of the ball and isn't to keen on sharing with her sister.. but where Silvia may have the brawns, so far it looks like Lilian is the one with the brains, and may just outsmart her sister to get her turn playing football too!

Siblings: Rune Rasmussen, Lilian Rasmussen

Bio:

Well, what to say..  Silvia is like most kids her age, she likes to spend her time playing with her toys, whether that be the doll house or the xylophone, babbling on with her toddler speak to learn how to talk and creating some real stinkers for mom and dad.... When she's outside, she so far enjoys very much to practice playing football, something which makes her father especially happy.

Silvia, when compared to her twin sister Lilian, appears to be the more assertive of the two, but Lilian may just be a little more sneaky.

Rune Rasmussen

Parents: Solvej Rasmussen, Patrik C. Rasmussen
Siblings: Silvia Rasmussen, Lilian Rasmussen

Bio:

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.

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!

Bio:

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...

That went well for a while, until one day her car broke down in the middle of nowhere as she was travelling across the Appaloosian mountains from west to east... and that's when the tour bus of a certain football team, the Sprottenham Totspurs, became her saving grace..
The team was returning from a match they played against Cyme Ixotic United (and lost....) and was now headed towards the city of Anilam where they would spend the night in before continuing their journey to their hometown of Sprottenham.
She was first only set to hitch a ride with them Anilam to find help to fix her car and continue her journey on her own.. but as they didn't arrive there until late on a Saturday night and every car repair shop was closed, she ended up spending a night on the town with them instead to "celebrate their victory" as one of the football players, a young rising star by the name of Patrik, told her....

She learnt from the other guys that this wasn't true, it was just something he said.. Patrik was the womanizer of the team, and she didn't really like him much at first... the next day they parted ways as she was able to locate a car repair shop that could tow her van into town and have it repaired.. She continued her journey eastwards later that day until she encountered this hitchhiking bum with a backpack along the road.. He said his name was Gaute and that he'd spent the weekend climbing in the mountains, and was now headed back to the lowlands.. She asked him to where he was going.. He said Sprottenham, where he was currently squatting in an old abandoned house, but anywhere she could drop him off along the way would be fine..

Solvej agreed to drive him all the way to this town though, as she "was just going where the wind took her". Gaute thanked her very much for this and said he had a spare bed if she wanted a place to crash for the night.. it wasn't much, but it was probably better than sleeping in her van..

The house that Gaute talked about was an old dilapidated brick house that went under the name of "Gufo Triste" by the locals, and it just so happened to be located on Greenacre Road, right next to a house currently occupied by a local football player, Patrik C. Jensen...
