The Addamses are the descendants of a very long line of
witches, serial killers, freaks, ghouls, and other assorted
social outcasts and monsters. The family that the cartoons,
movies, and shows are based around are said to be but
one surviving branch of the Addams clan. Many other "Addams
families" exist all over the world. Gomez Addams
studied to be a lawyer, but rarely practises while taking
absurd pride in losing his cases. He is wealthy from inheritance
and extensive investments, though seems to have little
regard for money. Gomez is of Castillian origin and loves
to smoke cigars and play destructively with his model
trains. Though head of the household, he is also the most
naïve and childish member of the family, with a short
attention span and endless optimism. Gomez is married
to Morticia Addams (née Frump), a vampish woman
who dresses only in black. She too comes from a long line
of maniacs and monsters.
