Darkwave

In the shady dockside area of the bustling, star-studded city of Bridgeport lies Waylon's Haunt, a small and seedy bar which often hosts the moody alt rock band, Darkwave.
They used to be a three piece consisting of three guys escaping their previous dull lives, girlfriends or werewolf-racism, mucking around with instruments and desperately trying to get gigs at local pubs. Then when the dark, mysterious and talented Neil Brett came out of the blue, wanting to join a small-time band to escape into, their fortunes suddenly burst through the ceiling.
Now a notable part of Bridgeport's underground alternative music scene, Darkwave are known for being seductive, mysterious, only playing in the dark and also for having a strange dark mist surrounding them onstage that's almost wing-like... However despite having a small fanbase, an lp deal and regular gigs they've never hit the big time or attracted any attention, they almost seem to avoid it. They're also renowned for having a strong disregard for rules. Turning up late, demanding 2x as much money, sleeping with their hirer's girlfriend, you name it. In fact this is all because of their headman, Neil Brett. With the appearance he gives off onstage his female devotees often expect him to be tall, dark, handsome and suave, just waiting for the right woman to fill his heart. However it's quite the opposite, he's fairly short and though good looking in his own way he's no Brad Pitt (just picking a random "good looking" stereotype there xD). He's also a git through and through, and the only relationships he has are one night stands but the other band members put up with all of this because without him, they'd be nothing. He wasn't always like this though, the past that he's running from is a dark one and living with that and without peer or responsibility, it hasn't exactly been good for his mentality.
However as well as he's hidden from his past so far, not even a fairy can hide in the dark of seedy dance clubs forever.
Newcomers in Bridgeport are common, dozens file in every day to experience the hub of a city, but one girl in particular is here to track down one band and one man in particular, and she doesn't even like them. Her name is Ari Moore (not her birth name) and like Brett, she's a fairy. However that's where the similarities end because the two are so different, she wouldn't even think of putting herself within a mile of him. But as much as she hates to admit it she needs him, because he was once a Darkwing, a staunch protector of the royal family of Del Islair. However he found something, something awful, something that is the truth of what happened to her disappeared brother. Before Ari could look into it everything had been hushed up, the trail had gone cold and Brett had disappeared.
So now with Ari threatening Brett to reveal his location if he doesn't help, they try to hunt down her brother. Both despise eachother mutually (Ari disgusted at what he's let himself become and Brett hating being blackmailed and having his past dragged up again) but as the search goes on they begin to stop helping themselves and helping eachother instead. Then just when they'd begun to warm up to eachother Ari's brother is found and Brett is imprisoned by the King. Will Ari have found something in Brett and Bridgeport that's worth living for and help him escape, or will she go back to her old life as a fairy princess?
Gameplay:
Neil Brett - Hot-Tempered, Mean Spirited, Flirty, Virtuoso, Brave.
Ari Moore - Family Oriented, Brave, Snob, Good, Hopeless Romantic.
 Make an apartment house for the Darkwave members, one for Ari too, and play Darkwave getting gigs as a band around the city. Ari tries to meet and then get along with Neil (hard considering his traits), eventually they find her brother wandering around somewhere in Bridgeport, preferably the graveyard. Ari then goes home with all 3 (world transfer via Nraas mod, Moonlight Falls?) and Neil is imprisoned in a gateless fenced square on her family's lot. After a while Ari has a big argument with her father and frees Neil (via a fairy teleport spell if it exists) and they run away to somewhere, make babies and live happileh ever after! ^_^
