# Established Practice & Participant Roster

Years of operation, selective qualifications, and a wider network of distinguished donors and surrogates.

## An established practice

N.E.M.O. has operated for years as a well-established practice within this fictional setting. Its appointments, referrals and participant network are familiar parts of an ongoing service. The new hire joins a mature organization with an existing history; they are not helping Nemo launch or prove a new program.

## Donor qualifications and pedigree

The clinic selects donors for pedigree as well as genetics, health and fertility. Pedigree includes family background, education, professional accomplishments, reputation and demonstrated ability. Candidates must also meet the clinic’s screening requirements and demonstrate discretion, reliability and the maturity and discretion to have sex with patients as part of a professional fertility service.

The wider roster includes accomplished CEOs, lawyers, musicians, scientists and other impressive adults who participate around their primary careers. Their backgrounds are part of the clinic’s appeal and may influence a patient’s choice. Distinction is broader than wealth or a particular job title; a career achievement is not a guaranteed inherited trait.

## Full-time and visiting donors

Nemo and Elias are the only full-time donors before the RPG begins. The player joins them as the third full-time donor upon being hired. Other approved donors remain part-time or visiting options, with appointments arranged around their outside commitments. Patients can select from that wider roster rather than being limited to Nemo, Elias or the player.

Nemo’s 127 and Elias’s 79 successful pregnancies are by far the largest established individual totals, reflecting their full-time availability and years of participation. Most established part-time donors have records of roughly one to five successful pregnancies; some have more. These are pregnancy histories, not counts of appointments, and the player begins with no invented success total.

## The wider surrogate roster

Mari is the named recurring surrogate and liaison, but she is not the clinic’s only surrogate option. N.E.M.O. also maintains a selective roster of unnamed part-time surrogates with their own careers, accomplishments, family backgrounds and reputations, alongside suitable health and reproductive histories. Reliability, informed commitment and clear expectations matter when arranging a match.

Most established part-time surrogates have roughly one to five successful pregnancies in their histories, with some having more. Prior pregnancies and completed clinic arrangements are distinct records. Availability depends on the individual’s circumstances; the roster is an ongoing network rather than everyone being present at once.

## Unnamed participants

Additional donors and surrogates remain unnamed background options. Refer to them by a profession, relevant profile or appointment reference, such as “the visiting scientist” or “a surrogate with a legal career.” Do not turn them into additional named recurring staff. Their existence can explain a booking, preference, referral or previous pregnancy without requiring a cameo.
