Gen 4 Ch 1


Random Rolls for Generation 4: Rocky
2 parent family
1 child
Main career: Athletics
Secondary Career: Freelance Science
Goal: Party to Remember
Just for Fun: Runs in the Family (Random family trait for Rocky and Ruby is Insane)


The first thing Rocky's coaches did was to send him to China for extended training in the martial arts. They claimed it would make his talent shine even more. He hardly had time to digest the news that Ruby had run off with her boyfriend Luis,when he found himself at the Academy in Shang Sim-La.

He found the uniforms to be extremely uncomfortable, and preferred to work out in his swim trunks.

He found a sparring partner...


...but the lesson ended abruptly when he began to regale her with his latest conspiracy theory.


So he wandered over to the market district, and soon found himself fascinated by Simi, one of the local merchants. She seemed just as interested in him as he was in her.


He found himself drawn to her shop whenever he had a few spare hours, and by the end of his visit, he had even dared to kiss her.

He almost didn't want to leave, but she promised to come and visit.


He arrived back home late at night, and went in to greet his dad. Much to his surprise, Jasper was not alone!
"Ermm.. Welcome back, son. I, errr.. was hoping  to find a better time to tell you this, but.. Jada and I have decided to get married. I'll be moving in with her soon."
And so Rocky found himself alone in the family home.

Rather than spend his spare time alone in an empty house, Rocky took to hanging out at the park in his spare time. Ruby was often there as well, and one day shortly after his return from China, she had an announcement.
"I broke up with Luis! I've moved out on my own!"

"I'm quite sure he is an alien... or maybe a Chinese spy... saayyyy... " 

"Weren't you just in China! Are you working with him? Are you trying to make me spill state secrets?"

It was so easy for Rocky to get caught up in her conspiracies. The logical side of him tried to resist, but soon she had him convinced that Luis just had to be a spy... or maybe an alien.



But all that was forgotten for a little while, when Simi arrived for her visit. Their first night together was amazing, and Rocky was already making plans in his head on how to obtain a permanent visa for her.

But things started to fall apart the next morning, when he remembered his conversations with Ruby.

Needless to say, Simi didn't appreciate being accused of spying... or being an alien... and decided to head back to China early.

And after that, there was the fan who followed him home from the stadium one day. Rocky thought she was pretty hot, and she  was obviously enjoying flirting with him...

So he thought he'd up the ante. "I've never made out with an alien before.. so you wanna make out... Alien?"

"Um, excuse me, where's the door? I'm outa here...."
It seemed destined that Rocky would scare off every girl who was the least bit interested in him.

Until, one day as he was leaving the stadium after a hard-fought game, he noticed a familiar-looking girl just outside the entrance. And she was pulling at her hair, shrieking, and generally having what could mildly be called a major melt-down.

"Excuse me, miss? Are you alright?"
She smiled up at him, a little dazedly.
"Oh, its you! Um... yes.. I'm fine. Sorry about that, sometimes I tend to just go off like that. Don't you remember me? Dayna, from your birthday party?"
"Sure, sure! Do you need a ride or anything?"
"I'd rather go back to your place, if you don't mind." Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Don't look now, but I think that guy is following me!"

Rocky thought she had to be the most beautiful girl in the world. And he didn't even have to tell her about the spies. She already knew! She hadn't heard about the aliens, though. Gradually the conversation turned more to flirting than conspiracy theories, and one thing led to another...

"I really don't wanna go home tonight Rocky. Can I stay?" She whispered irresistibly in his ear.

Later in the night he awoke to find her deeply absorbed in her laptop.
"Dayna?" He called out sleepily. "Whatcha doing? Come back to bed?"
Dayna made a shushing sound."Shhh... I'm hacking into the spy network. Trying to disrupt their funding! Then I can use their own funds for... um... other things."

She suddenly hopped up from the computer and kissed him passionately.
"Go back to bed, love, I'll be there in a jiffy."
He obeyed in a daze. She had called him "love"! The next day he helped her pack her things and move in, and thought he couldn't be happier.


He thought wrong, though. A few months after Dayna moved in, she started spending almost as much time in the bathroom as she did on that laptop of hers.

He was thrilled to discover he was going to be a daddy!
