Some Doug family details I thought would be nice to add:

His mum had him at 20 with her college boyfriend at the time who bailed on her and left her to raise her kid in her own. She dropped out of college and went back to her hometown to live with her father, who set her up with a job working at a friend's company.

Now, she's trying to earn a biology degree online while working as a mechanic. (She sounds like a Dorothy to me)

Doug's aforementioned grandfather, whom I affectionately call Grandpa Bo, is also a mechanic, a car mechanic to be specific.

He likes to work on a little more delicate things like clocks and cameras sometimes as a hobby and dabbles in wiring and coding. A bit of a gruff old guy, but sweet nevertheless.

He owns a car mechanic shop called Bo's Auto Repair Shop, or BARS as everybody calls it for short.

Doug works part-time there, although he's less of an employee then a barely willing volunteer

As for why Dorothy isn't working there, in her own words, "I would die before I let my paycheck be decided by my old man"

The whole family is into anime, so they make that into their Movie Night Friday. Whoever wins rock-paper-scissors gets to choose.

Doug's family, while on the rough side and prefer a pounding on the back then a hug, is completely and totally there for him.

Bo doesn't really get why his grandson wants to spend the rest of his life writing articles upon articles of some other people's business, but he does know that Doug needs a good camera and help making a website, and he's the best guy to go to for both.

Dorothy understands more then her dad, and while she secretly hoped that he would pick a more, er, secure job, she supports Doug nevertheless.

Does anybody else think it's weird that nobody in Lolirock has a last name? Personally, I think the surname Irving fits well with this family. Doug Irving has quite a nice ring to it.
