Fanon:Eurydike Alkmaionida

Eurydike Alkmaionida is one of the first sims to be introduced in the Time Paradox, and originally hailing from the Alkmaionid house. Eurydike, although not as nearly skilled as most of her household members, is clearly more skilled than average, having mastered Gardening, Fishing, Handiness, and having significant skills in logic and writing (8 points in each) along with skills in other areas, 5 points in Martial Arts, 4 points in Invention, 2 points in Cooking, 6 points in Mixology and 1 point in Painting. Eurydike is also the main character of the prologue of the story, as the main character of the Alkmaionid chapter of the Fanon.

Eurydike is also the first in the line of insane techy female sims, followed by Stratonike and Kallisto. Eurydike is the loyalist member, remaining in the Union due to her not making negative relationships with the remaining core members. Eurydike is a friend forever to Kallisto, Hyperia, and Lysistrata while Eurydike is severed from Stratonike.

First Time Warp
All of the story starts off with the introduction of the Alkmaionidai, who have been overtaken by the warp, leaving them off in Sunset Valley. The warp has affected them to be adapted to modern life, and Eurydike was specially blessed with the ability to easily handle computers, at the cost of sanity. Alkmaionid life was very uneventful in comparison to the later families, sticking to themselves and largely isolated from the main town in general, Eurydike no exception to this, slowly building her skillset for her Science Career, alongside Chryseis. They would stay out of sight of most of the time, and by the time the Beauty 4 came into town and had a solid foundation, Eurydike, alongside the other Alkmaionids, passed away to old age. Hence, despite Eurydike starting the idea of generally skilled sim (over a specialist), Eurydike's obscurity kept her from making a major impact in the first time warp.

Second Time Warp
However, the Alkmaionids were once again introduced in the Second time warp, settling at the exactly the same spot that they lived in the first time warp. Unlike the previous time warp, the Alkmaionids had the secret of extended longevity, and they once again built up their skillset. Eurydike, due to her lack of contact with the newer sims such as Hyperia, Eurydike was not involved in the breakup of the Scholars' Alliance. Eurydike however would find companionship with a houseguest, Lysistrata, who shared Eurydike's insanity and skill with computers. This time however, they would be noticed when the fission of the Scholars' Alliance came to place, and when Stratonike and Kallisto broke off and created the Union of the Insane, the founding members invited both Lysistrata and Eurydike, firmly creating the Union of the Insane to stand up independent of the Scholars' Alliance.

Trivia

 * Although not much of a trivia, Eurydike is NOT a historical character whatsoever. In fact, all the female characters originating from historical households are fictional, even Stratonike who has a hononym with historical figures.


 * Eurydike is technically the longest present character out of the Union of the Insane, appearing at the beginning of the first Time Warp. However, Eurydike is only a lesser core member to begin with, since Eurydike actually died of old age in the first Time Warp, and the Eurydike in the Second Time Warp had no skills to begin with.
