Fanon:Antigone Syrakosia: Difference between revisions

Being one of the supersims endowed with the 5 star celebrity status that became the norm (Kallisto was unhappy about this, and the fact that celebrity status doesn't decay) in the higher caste of the Church, Antigone took the town by surprise and soon supplanted pre-existing stars such as the Darnells. Antigone went away with minimal cash, since Kallisto believed that Antigone would go stay with the Sunset Valley chapter for a while and thus cash wouldn't be a problem, so Antigone had to rebuild her financial base if Antigone was to be independent of the Church. However, being that 5-star celebrity made it difficult to mask her presense: paparazzi swarmed her little dwelling, and news spread throughout, eventually making it both to Sunset Valley and even the nascent Hekatonschoinos. When Kallisto read the news, Kallisto was surprised. However, Kallisto believed that Antigone decided to create a new chapter and decided not to take any actions to censure or recall Antigone, and sent orders to make converts in the town, which Kallisto declared an relatively easy task since Antigone had the logic skills to tutor sims, and supplied her with 250,000 Simoleons to get Antigone to establish a foothold in the name of the Church, and so that Antigone would not be hindered by financial matters when making converts. Antigone had a small bust, something that was enforced by the biological experiments by the Church, and many a sim noted Antigone for that (much more so when compared to buxom Honey Darnell).

 

 

Antigone's motives, despite the initially anti-authoritarian flavor, was actually less than selfless: Antigone wanted to establish her own power base in Appaloosa Plains, and started by connecting with the Singletons: Antigone being extremely well-trained easily made friends with people, and [[Rodney Singleton]] became one of Antigone's first supporters: Rodney's lifetime wish being an catalyst for that.

 

Soon, Antigone's approval of romance has attracted Kallisto's ire, and sooner or later, Kallisto confiscated most of Antigone's cash supplies, and Antigone's reserves dwindled from nearly 250,000§ to 10,000§. However, this only led to the acceleration of the alliance between Achaia and Antigone, as Achaia's successful fundraising allowed Achaia to aid Antigone with 35,000§ as a gift in exchange for alliance.

==Defensives==

Although, or perhaps because of [[Fanon:Tessa Swanson|Tessa]]'s failure to gather good dirt regarding Antigone, Tessa was not identified as the spy, and rumors of a Church spy did not even come about until more than 2 weeks after Tessa's departure. And when such rumors actually spread, Antigone started to take precautions: first, Antigone questioned just about every paparazzis in town without avail. Antigone's second response was to make a labyrinth complex to make Antigone's gatherings more secret (although such gatherings were rare to begin with). In terms of actions regarding the main Church, Antigone's choice was to stay low and hope that some other big event would divert Kallisto's attention. A good choice, as [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto]] immediately found a new front in the form of an alternate timeline. Antigone chose to keep the dissident movement as inconspicuous as possible, and even considered discarding her celebrity status by adopting an alternate persona, since Antigone did not have the resources to gather intelligence, and much less counter Kallisto should Kallisto choose to aggressively expand to Appaloosa Plains.
