Foundations

The Legacy Challenge:
The Gallifrey Family





Meet John Gallifrey, our founder. He mysteriously appeared from nowhere to begin his own legacy in Sunset Valley.
Some people believe that he is from another planet. Whatever you choose to believe is up to you, but I can tell you, life won't be very easy for him.
In Sunset Valley, it was said that if you laid a claim to a plot of land, then it was yours to keep, but you had to stay there for the rest of yours and your decendants lives.
So with little to nothing money (§1300 to be exact), John began his new journey.
As you can see he is a Frugal, Workaholic Bookworm who is a Friendly Computer Whiz.
He got really lucky with the random trait chooser!
He was lucky that his land was a beauty spot, and surprised that no-one had taken it already, with that in mind he bought the best bed that he could afford with a couple of hundred § left over for emergancies and to pay bills. As he discovered that he could use the generousity from the owners of the community lots to eat, shower and use bathroom facilities.



With John's lifetime wish to become a world renowned surgeon he heads over to the local hospital to get a job.



Successful in his quest, he decides to head over to the library in the hope of meeting some new people and to read a book or two, or maybe even meet the future Mrs. Gallifrey.



John gets chatting to a rather retro '50's looking lady who goes by the name of Agnes. After a little digging it turns out she is far too rich for John to even contemplate getting to know on a romantic level.



So next John starts talking to Morganna, who turns out to be his boss.
Once again, she is far too rich for John, plus she is married with children, and John isn't the home-wrecking kinda guy. Still it didn't hurt for him to chat with Morganna for a while.



John decides it must be third time lucky when he spots a rather unmissable lady from across the room.
However, once again, she is a married-with-children-and-lottsa-money kinda lady.
Oh well John, at least you have made a few aquaintances.



John heads off to the park after a long day of job hunting, reading and meeting new people.
He may have not had any luck meeting a future mate, but he lucked out at the park where he found a perfectly cooked hamburger just laying on the floor.
After a quick scout around to make sure no-one was watching him, he cooly picked it up and sat down at the nearest table to feast upon his delishious find.



John decides it's time to head home, or at least to the land he owns as that is where his bed was.
He came to the conclusion that life wasn't so bad. He had an amazing piece of land in a beautiful location. And he rather enjoyed living in the open spaces........ for now.
Yep, life was good!

  2. Hey! I like your legacy blog! It IS really well written (going along with what the person above me said). I was wondering if you could check out mine? It's definitely not written as well as yours mostly because I had to create a base for it and I'm not very good at starting things out. But it would mean a lot :)
