We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I'm getting snacks, this is awesome.

What are the inmates' opinions of each other, Max?
I've thought about posting a character synopsis for everyone. I should probably do that.

I've thought about posting a character synopsis for everyone. I should probably do that.

This is not actually a double post. Why? Because I'm doing this. (Character synopsises took no time from the game, and only about 20 minutes real-time. Take that as you will.) There are some weird things going on in the Haus of Madness, notably with Lifetime Happiness. If you spend time working toward your lifetime wish, you get goals to achieve, and those help you earn Lifetime Rewards points. Being unhappy or having negative moodlets, like being singed or fighting with people (Japa and RedKing, I'm looking at you,) lower your ability to earn these points. Here is an in-depth guide to what you can do with them, how you can earn them, and everything else about them. Sappho is the undisputed queen of Lifetime Rewards points because scultping a) takes up most of her time, b) works toward her Lifetime Wish, and c) is worth a lot of points.

Notable skills are those above 2 or relevant to our story. Notable relationships are those above 10 points or below -10 points. We all know each other, but most of us don't really know each other, you know?

Some of you folks are self employed in careers that allow you to work at your own pace. Burnt Pies, Sappho, and Vector get promotions (and bonuses) based on how much they create and sell. The "Funds to promotion" just lets you know how much more you have to create to get the next bonus. Everyone else that has a job has a regular one, where you leave home for a while and sell your time for money. It takes a lot longer to get promoted in these, but the money is much steadier. The rest of you unemployed slobs should get a job. :P I don't have a job because I look after you all and the Haus, and breaking rocks for gems makes a crapload of money. Surprisingly, Wolfeyez decided she wanted a job, and is following RedKing to work in the Bistro.

Anyway, enough of that, here are your characters:

Ah, yes, lifetime ambitions, I remember min-Maxing my character to achieve maximum money and maximum bonuses.
Ahh, sweet memories.
Edit: Speaking of, someone should probably get no bills, as the Haus expands, bills might start being a real problem.

Oh man, third most ambition points already. Also, Yoink and I appear to be the only best friends on the block. We should go get ice cream or something. ᔕєςяєƬ Щᗩℛᙓℌ〇ЦƧᙓ ᓮςєςяєαм.

IIRC, the role is completely meaningless - I've had my keyboardist decide to go play the bass out of the blue at a gig more than once.
