​

WYNNE KINGSLEY - CHILD

​ANTHROPOLOGY PROFESSOR

​Professor Wynne Kingsley is an absent-minded professor at Godley Hollow University. Inquire about archaeology and get blown away with intellectual facts. Ask about anything else, and you’ll be put to sleep with bland, monotonous babbles. To no surprise, Wynne Kingsley is an avid fossil collector. Wynne’s had a gambling problem in the past, and rumor has it that Wynne has been in financial trouble over the last few years. Only time will tell if this is true.

​

EARLY LIFE: Wynne is the youngest of Roland Kingsley's children. Wynne's mother, the third wife of Roland Kingsley, is deceased. She died by falling down the main staircase of the Kingsley Mansion. Roland was a prime suspect in her death, but no charges were ever filed, and it was declared an accident.  

Wynne grew up living in the Kingsley Mansion of Godley Hollow. Wynne was home-schooled in the early years and then was shipped off to Winsington Preparatory School in Phoenix, Arizona, after Wynne's mother's death (Wynne was 14). After graduation, Wynne attended the University of Pennsylvania and earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology.

​

OCEAN YATES - CHILD

​​CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

​Ocean Yates is the top criminal defense attorney in Godley Hollow. If freedom is your desire, you want this obnoxious defender on your side of the courtroom - even if you are guilty of murder! Ocean makes ambulance chasers look like members of the Peace Corps!  Maybe it goes with the job, but Ocean is a compulsive liar who habitually makes use of manipulation, bribery, and blackmail. A test tube baby of a Harvard scholar, Ocean recently found out that Roland Kingsley was the anonymous DNA donor father.

 

EARLY LIFE: Ocean is the only child of the famous Harvard law professor, Alex Yates. Ocean grew up in the adjacent town of Shadow Falls. The class valedictorian, Ocean followed Alex Yates' footpath and earned a Harvard Law Degree in 2015. While attending Harvard Law School, Ocean achieved the highest grade point average in the school's history and was ranked first in the class.

After being diagnosed with cytopheria, an ultra-rare genetic disease, Ocean sued the Godley Hollow Sperm Bank, but lost the case, as they weren't required to screen for the rare disease back when the sperm was purchased by Ocean's mother.  Ocean pushed for the identity of the DNA donor father and found the donor to be none other than the billionaire, Roland Kingsley. A self-made man, he'd been an avid donor at the Godley Hollow Sperm Bank to save money for his undergraduate tuition as a teen.

​

BUSINESS CAREER: Ocean Yates is a partner in Godley Hollow's biggest law firm, Yates, Elliot, & Grim Law Office.

​

PHILANTHROPY: Ocean founded the Ocean Yates Foundation in 2017- a non-profit organization that aims to fight against rare diseases.

 

PERSONAL LIFE: Ocean is in a long-term relationship with a law partner (Jo Elliot), and refuses to have children.

Ocean is currently in the process of research for an upcoming lawsuit against Roland Kingsley for the inheritance of the disease-causing gene for cytopheria, since Roland has had knowledge of the disease since early childhood and was negligent for not disclosing this rare genetic condition to the sperm bank. Roland has declined to comment on the alleged lawsuit.

PEYTON PAYNE - PRIMARY CAREGIVER

​PHYSICIAN

​​Dr. Peyton Payne is a caring family doctor at Godley Hollow Family Clinic. Dr. Payne has a superb bedside manner but often spews horrible jokes during check-ups. Dr. Payne also works shifts at the Godley Hollow Hospital’s Emergency Room and runs a clinical research program at Godley Hollow University. Once accused of being an ‘Angel of Death’ who put patients in peril only to save them and be the hero, Dr. Payne has officially been acquitted of all charges due to a lack of evidence.

 

EARLY LIFE: Peyton Payne was born on a farm in Kansas. Peyton struggled through school, having to work long hours on the farm. Peyton left for college at LSU, and then later went to medical school at LSU Health Sciences Center. After doing an internship at The Mayo Clinic, Peyton opened a practice in the isolated town of Godley Hollow.

​​

PERSONAL LIFE: Dr. Payne was recently exonerated on all pending charges of first-degree murder in the Godley Hollow Angel of Death investigation. Dr. Payne had been accused of murdering over thirty elderly and terminally ill/injured patients over the last ten years. After an 18-month investigation, Dr. Payne was found to be innocent.  However, the doc was only acquitted due to a lack of evidence.   Some sources have said the physician performing the autopsy on the elderly patients didn't know to look for unknown drug compounds. Dr. Payne may have been performing clinical research on these patients without their knowledge, but we'll never know the truth.
