🌿🎨 The Dreamer’s Legacy: A Rags to Riches Challenge in Evergreen Harbor

🧍‍♀️ Backstory:

Your founder is a runaway dreamer—a passionate young artist and musician who left behind a rigid life to follow their heart. With no money, no home, and no safety net, they arrive in Port Promise, the grimiest part of Evergreen Harbor. Their only goal: to survive, create, and eventually clean up the world around them.

This legacy will follow their descendants as they transform the city and leave behind a powerful creative and eco-friendly legacy.

💡 Premise: Your founder is a brilliant but reclusive scientist determined to create a legacy without romance.

(You can reroll until this happens or manually select traits if playing with aging off.) 4️⃣ Every generation must have a career in science, technology, or logic-based fields. (See Career Rules below.) 5️⃣ The household should always be designed as a research lab or futuristic home. No warm, cozy cottages—this is a house of science! 6️⃣ All heirs must max out the Logic skill.
