HOPE MOUNTAIN
Country Music Singer/Song Writer
This pampered, spoiled country music star tops the charts with anything she releases. She is one of the top-paid, and most sought-after country music stars and her iconic status often angers other country music divas who rode the country music train when it wasn’t quite as trendy as it is today.

MEDICINO
Superhero
Medicino is a medical doctor by day and a superhero by night. This healer wanders the streets at night with a super nurse sidekick, rendering medical assistance to anyone in need.
