'''Kallisto Syrakosia''' (alias Callisto of Syracuse), Born 3rd of March of 1928 on Syracuse, is the founding member of the Union of the Insane (and later on, the Ecclesiarchy and the Papal State) following the feud between Hypatia and Demetria involving the Scholars' Alliance's official position on [[Christopher Steel]]. Kallisto mastered [[Handiness]], [[Logic]], [[Mixology (The Sims 3)|Mixology]], [[Nectar Making]], [[Painting]], [[Cooking (The Sims 3)|Cooking]], [[Fishing]], [[Gardening]], [[Inventing]], [[Sculpting]], [[Athletic skill]], [[Writing]], [[Alchemy]], and [[Riding]] with an additional 1 point in [[Guitar]] and 3 points in [[Charisma]]<ref>The setting at the beginning of a game in the Hekatonschoinos</ref>. Not surprisingly, Kallisto belongs to the superelite segment of society, although her volatility and unpredictableness causes some stir in the neighborhood. Kallisto is the de facto main character ever since the Beauty 4 arc, even when Hypatia usurped that role temporarily in the late times of the first time warp. Kallisto is of blood type B, and all clones, including [[Fanon:Kallistrata Pellaia|Kallistrata]] and [[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Antigone Syrakosia|Antigone]] shares this blood type. Kallisto will work as a Power Broker when starting a game on the said neighborhood (which needs updates), and earns a whopping 2524§ per hour.
Although rumors regarding Kallisto as a psyker actually existed before Kallisto's conscious awareness of her potential, Kallisto is now an effective psyker, specializing in conjuration, such as cloning of items and creating ambient effects. Kallisto has engaged in works involving enhancing both Sims and Pets, successfully imbuing Boukephalos with Unicorn abilities, and has given normal sims unusual looks, such as her disciple [[Fanon:Esomena Protogena|Esomena]].

''"A moment of laxity towards romance will spawn a lifetime of heresy."''
After the enactment of the codex, Kallisto went on with the reformation of the household, starting with the structure itself. Kallisto tore down the old building, erecting a new one to better adhere to the ideals set by the codex. With the reformation of the structure came the reformation in organization: Kallisto took the role of the Chaplain, preaching the word to the members starting every
The barrack-life was pleasing to most: they have not lost luxury of having high-quality food, yet they were focused on mastering skills above all other, since learning skills and mastering them were the ways of worshipping the personalized deity as written in the codex. Kallisto was also pushing towards reuniting the former members, particularly [[Fanon:Stratonike Attalida|Stratonike]], since the former members were quite above the sim average, especially Stratonike who was the most skilled sim outside the Union influence, and pushed for Hypatia to aggressively move on beyond
[[File:FirstChapelService.png|thumb|Kallisto giving her first sermon.]]Even Kallisto had to accept the fact that the Meris Sophiston would need to use parties (of course, the concept of party in the Meris Sophiston were more in alignment with the games of Classical societies than to contemporary parties), not because of any glory in parties but because of the pragmatic reasons to clean up after scandals, even if all of these were caused by wrongly directed accusations, to the point where even Kallisto took the effort to stabilize the slipping popularity of the Union of the Insane by hosting parties on her own discretion, which was quite contrary to her nature as a [[Loner]].
Line 131:
Additionally, the Union of the Insane was quite familiar with [[Tiberium]], and it was only a matter of time before they were able to develop seed tiberium, allowing them indefinite supply of tiberium to be processed for massive profit, not that they needed that since they already pretty much established total control of the businesses in the region. With the extra income, Kallisto decides to go with the idea of transmutations, and successfully experiments with two sets of gems, getting a huge Soulpeace and a huge Shining gem, although the latter was a financial loss, Kallisto was still satisfied with the sheer brilliance of the gem.
Kallisto had no intention of letting a powerful sim out of the influence of the Meris Sophiston, and immediately sought to reenlist Stratonike, even though Kallisto was bitter about the whole romance nonsense, especially because they left the Scholars' Alliance because of it plaguing household order. Stratonike offered to reenlist if the hardline approach to romance was reconsidered: Kallisto gives an counteroffer: Kallisto will consider amendment should Stratonike join, and Stratonike would be offered the authority to hold a meeting regarding the issue at her choosing within 2 weeks of reenlistment. Kallisto in truth had no intention of allowing romance: Kallisto does not want to risk another collapse, and this thought was shared by Kallistrata, as Kallisto didn't care about Stratonike's romance: in fact, Kallisto believed Stratonike would be happier without it. In fact, Kallisto's goal was to destroy the very thing that tore the Scholars' Union apart: Christopher Steel's womanizing, and to destroy that, Kallisto would take down the remaining vestige of it: Kallisto would tear Christopher and Achaia apart, because Kallisto believed that would make Achaia happy, as well as her belief that it would avenge the fall of Scholars' Alliance, as well as Demetria, even though Demetria and Kallisto only met with all that party (or as Kallisto would say, public entertainment) as a part of the
Long story short, Kallisto essentially created a religion hellbent on destroying romance by glorifying learning (as a distraction) just to avenge the disunities in the households that she was a part of. Kallistrata, who was insane as well, didn't see anything wrong with it. Hypatia just didn't care about the cause or effect, since Hypatia was promised power. Stratonike, despite her insanity, saw the implication, but not the cause. Kallisto was one step closer to taking the path of no return, which potentially would lead to an entire new order of things. Kallisto sums up her resolve in the codex, the 8th book consisting entirely of Kallisto's observation.
Line 162:
''It is speculated that Kallisto, yes, that Kallisto who got Holly Alto mad, has created a huge landmass for herself to live in.'' - Urban Legend
''"'Love is a madness', as it is written in [[wikipedia:Phaedrus (Dialogue)|Phaidros]], and it speaks of it being simply a madness where one loses his or her head. Given consequences of such things, is it not better to eliminate such things?"''
Kallisto and the rest of the Union grew restless at the ever so static Sunset Valley despite their development of the town, and after deeming that it would not be fit to be the center of the Church, Kallisto eventually moves into the uninhabited Hekatonschoinos and immediately starts the development process. In fact, Kallisto has founded a city out of nowhere, and effectively made a state out of an uninhabited piece of land, and due to the landmass' size, urban legends were formed around the origins of the land: such legends claim that it was Kallisto who was the creator, causing geological movements via psychic powers to create such large piece of land for them to settle: How else would they find a huge piece of land in middle of nowhere uninhabited, they say.
Line 168:
With the arrival, Kallisto allowed for the establishment of dog and cat parks, despite her disdain for such animals. Kallisto more than welcomed the horse ranch, since Kallisto's plan was to adopt a unicorn for further study and more discreetly to use as a sign to get people to join the new religion poised to strike at what Kallisto believed to be the great evil: romance.[[File:KallistoRidesBoukephalos.png|thumb|Kallisto rides Boukephalos for the first time, although Kallisto prepared early on and had a riding skill of 5.]]
However, when Kallisto found out that Unicorns require a sim to have several pets, Kallisto was shocked to the no end. However, Kallisto deemed the benefit of having a Unicorn greater than the extra care required to maintain the pets, and adopted a wild horse by unnatural means, and named the horse Boukephalos in honor of

''"For the [[wikipedia:Alexander the Great|Emperor]]!"''
Line 200:
==Sunset Valley Operations==
Kallisto decided to pay a visit to Sunset Valley: after all, if Cycl0n3's report regarding the visit ended up false, the mass trust in the media would drop. And as such, Kallisto et al. gave a visit to the said neighborhood, and Kallisto then moved into the former residence of Kallistrata before her acceptance to the Church. Having set up there, Kallisto was contacted by the restaurant about the prospect of raising cheese plants. Kallisto personally did not care, until Kallistrata informed Kallisto of the Omni Plant: Kallisto chose to do it hands off: Kallistrata would handle the situation on her own, and Kallistrata was already at it cultivating the nasty but necessary cheese that would bring them a step closer to Omni Plant.
As for Kallisto herself, Kallisto was surprisingly minimalist in Sunset Valley, much in contrast to her iron fist in Hekatonschoinos. Kallisto believed that Hypatia and the Sunset Valley Chapter should have the executive domain simply because of the pragmatic reason that Kallisto attempting to make orders would make the Church be viewed as a force of a tyrant and reverse the sudden and much needed popular support for the Church. However, Esomena almost ruined Kallisto's entire scheme when Esomena's prom episode ended up in a romantic relationship between her and Bradley Conners, of the Conners family that had always been a loyal ally of the Church. Kallisto however was not aware of this for the most part, until Bradley asked Stratonike for permission to date Esomena, and when Stratonike relayed that information to Kallisto. [[File:FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.png|thumb|Kallisto is not amused by the news of romance between Bradley and Esomena.]]
Line 206:
Kallisto was not willing to cede to romance: it tore apart the Union a few times and it tore the Scholars' Alliance apart: no more repetition of history, Kallisto demanded. Accordingly, Kallisto disciplines Esomena alongside likeminded core members (save Chrysanthema, who was working). However, Kallisto did not push it too far to prevent alienation of Esomena, and quickly taught her driving to coax Esomena. That tactic in hindsight was effective: Esomena ended up breaking up with Bradley much to Kallisto's delight, but it posed a new problem: What if Bradley reports this happening to the Conners family at large? Will it turn Conners family against the Church, and more so, will the Conners family portray this protectionism in negative light? Fortunately, that question need not be answered thanks to the works of Stratonike, who succeeded in coaxing Bradley and fostering a platonic bond between him and Esomena for benefit of all.
Having experimented on the Omni Plant, Kallisto deemed it a good time to get out of Sunset Valley, taking with her the entirety of the Big 6 after seeing all the 3 disciples growing up to be successful Young Adults. The 3 Disciples of Kallisto, Kallistrata and Stratonike; [[Fanon:Esomena Protogena|Esomena]], [[Fanon:Chrysanthema Pellaia Kinnamomona|Chrysanthema]], and Pyrrha respectively were left in charge of Sunset Valley while the Big 6 would go nomad out of the radar of the celebrity culture. Kallisto decided to get some land for [[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Al-Dar|Al-Dar]]'s mosque project, which led to the ultranationalist Patriot Party that openly declared hostility to the Church, portraying it as the collaborator to the invaders the

''"Blast this quandary... I want that capital world established in Megas Alexandros' name!"''
Line 232:
Kallisto always had desired a state of her own ever since the times of the Union of the Insane's nascent stages, and Kallisto had pretty much prepped up for that day. Kallisto's creation of Hekatonschoinos was an indispensable element, since sticking with Sunset Valley would have made Kallisto a secessionist, which would create too much media attention, and more so ostracism from the rest of the Simlish world. The deal was sealed when Eurydike grew tired of her Science Career, forfeiting the massive salary (Eurydike earned about 800 simoleons per hour) for a new Career in politics. To Kallisto, this was a huge boon: Eurydike would officially represent Church interest in the Simlish field, and thus Kallisto was formally able to declare the formation of the Papal State to the world. To Sunset Valley, most citizens cheered at the new power that was born off the benefactors of the said neighborhood (save a few, such as the Patriot Party), while in Bridgeport, this was met with apprehension, particularly by the elites over there centered around Demetria and Antigone.
Of course, Antigone always had in mind a probable aggression by Kallisto ever since the bombardment attacks on Bridgeport, and with the agreement derived from the Council of Bridgeport, Antigone personally assumed responsibility for the Bridgeport celebrities' trip to China. Kallisto by then dispatched Stratonike to China to help with the guidance: here, Kallisto had plausible deniability, since China has been rumored to be a place of meteors ever since Stratonike's incident back in the first timeline, which was pretty much common knowledge to all the Greeks involved, which conveniently diffused out via celebrity-oriented media. In fact, due to this becoming common knowledge, Antigone herself expected to go heads up with a meteor or two, and the other celebrities who accompanied Antigone also grew nervous, since Stratonike out of all people had been felled by (and of course, revived from) a meteor strike. In fact, Antigone et al. prayed that should one fall upon one of them, they had the parameters to rise again.
Stratonike by then was one of the most well-received foreigner in China, to a point where it was Stratonike who was actively developing a Greek apoikia near Shang Simla. Of course, Stratonike was always on the watch, since Kallisto had notified Stratonike of a potential arrival. Conveniently enough, Stratonike spotted Antigone's party, which was immediately heading towards the Academy for immediate training (and for Antigone, some more honing.) Of course, Stratonike could not let go of the prey unscathed, and immediately spotted for another one of Kallisto's rods of doom, and down went Tom Wordy. With Tom Wordy dead, Stratonike immediately evacuated without any of the Bridgeport expedition spotting her, and Antigone could do little but weep for Tom.
Line 252:
''"Ah, fine examples our disciples are becoming. Their zeal must be emulated: We shall not fall behind."''
Kallisto et al. were taking it easy for the most part, not doing anything new: producing little and making minimal progress. However, Kallisto received words from the Sunset Valley Chapter, which has been making speedy progresses, rapidly gaining skills and livening up the Sunset Valley with the help of the Al-Dar. Alarmed, Kallisto had the'' ''chapter working around the clock, producing sculptures, paintings, books, and other creative work at an alarming rate. On top, Kallisto had ordered more musters, using that to pick up more local news and inputs from the locals. Kallisto suspended the Bridgeport campaign for a time, taking the time to renovate a few more buildings, establishing the Bibliotheke Agathon, as well as more affordable housing.
It was not in vain: the affordable housing, alongside the relatively large reserve cash handed to the preexisting families as an remedy for initial deficits, had triggered a large immigration wave: many of the families, such as the Working Immigrant family, has moved up, leaving cheaper houses for newer families, filling up open job slots. Kallisto still had issues to fix: the capital still had a rather imbalanced gender ratio, tilting considerably towards female side, as well as a stubbornly low demand for educational jobs. Kallisto however was glad that some issues were fixed, and decides that more housing would solve the problem, deciding to extend the pause on the Bridgeport campaign for more housing projects.
Line 263:
''"Ends are more important than the means. Although this isn't to mean the means to the end is not important, ultimately a better end is superior to a better means."''
Despite the academic nature of the Ecclesiarchy, the experts on the side of SimNation was shocked when they've discovered that it was the Ecclesiarchy who embraced the Supernatural far before any of the major SimNation's groups. Given the said
Although Kallisto had fulfilled the aim of an independent gemcrafting industry, Kallisto's biggest gains came from the [[Philosopher's Stone]]: Now Kallisto had an easy access of gold, allowing Kallisto to give the Papal currency representative power, allowing the Papal State to turn into a hedge attracting investors. Of course, Kallisto was well aware of the power of the financeers, and never had any interest in bowing to their interests. But then Kallisto's real gain came from the potential deadly side effect, which led Kallisto to develop a countermeasure, allowing the Ecclesiarchy to cheat death. This was especially valuable to the chapter serf, who was tasked with the transformation of outdated or nonessential materials into the gold ingots. Despite the obvious breach of his power, the Grim Reaper could not lodge a protest against the Ecclesiarchy, given that even if they had failed to develop the countermeasure, they were still protected by a sizeable supply of Death Flowers, and the Grim Reaper was fond of such plants.
Line 274:
Kallisto had no intention of dealing with Alana, until Silas offered to turn Sunlit Tides to the Papal State. Then Kallisto immediately took efforts in assassinating Alana, hoping to add another piece of territory to the fledging Papal State. Kallisto started rather openly, dropping two Rods of God at the Kahales' abode, destroying some property and burning all 3 household members. However, Kallisto's open aggression was to be a part of a greater plot. Kallisto would do what the Europeans done with the African Kingdoms: exchange information and technology to both sides, weakening both in a long conflict (as if the current opposition wasn't long enough). In no time, Kallisto had diverted attentions of both sides to each other, both firmly believing the Ecclesiarchy to be their ally. So would Kallisto first initially think, but decided that just straight out acquiring Sunlit Tides was a better idea, and thus settled by simply removing Alana out of the equation with a few Rods of God.
Having done so, Kallisto coerces Silas to play true to his word, and given her reputation (as well as the
== Kallisto's Q&A ==
*''Q: Kallisto, your Chapel-Barracks get entered at will by unsolicited guests. How do you feel about the intrusion of privacy?''
*''A: There is absolutely nothing wrong with that: We have nothing to hide: We ain't going WooHooing around like bunch of heretics. The guests almost always stick to the first and second floor, and the only time any reach the third (B2) and the fourth floor (B3) is in times of musters: If they ever do get to the fourth floor unsolicited... those are spies. And so far, there were none, so we can always be forever alone as we please. On the other hand, people love our food. It simply further serves our purpose: people going hungry are less likely to contribute to overall progress. Need is mother of creation, yes, but starving people ain't going to be able to contribute as nearly as much as an adequately fed one. Besides, transparency is one of the greatest virtues to a ruling body.
*''Q: Kallisto, what is up with the hatred of WooHoo?''
*''A: Simple. Great men are not common. WooHoo is common. For one, we can look to the example of Alan Turing: well, he was a homosexual, that much is true, but let us face it, the most celebrated people are ususally celibate. "cough cough" Tesla, Newton, Jesus "cough" Besides, we can always reproduce with test tubes and SimBots.
*''Q: Kallisto, Have you any plans after you get your goal of yours?''
*''A: Of course. One must constantly scheme and evolve, for there is no such thing as attainable perfection. It is asymptotic. There is only progress.''

*Since Syracuse is in Italian territory ever since 1865 formally, Kallisto is technically of Italian origin.
*1928 is also the year in which Mickey Mouse has debuted in Steamboat Willie (November 18th), which also coincidently is one of the author's favorite childhood cartoon character. In addition, Kallisto's birthday is also the date of Hugo Koch's passing away,
*Kallisto is the transliteration of the original Greek name Καλλιστώ. Callisto is the anglicized form of the name. With the surname, Syrakosia is chosen as it is the converted to feminine form of the masculine Σῠρᾱκόσιος (Source: [[Wikipedia:Syracusia|http://artflx.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/efts/dicos/woodhouse_test.pl?keyword=syracuse&pagenumber=&sortorder=Keyword]]), However, [[Wikipedia:Syracusia|Syrakousia]] (Συρακουσία) is actually an valid substitute, as there is a ship by its name made by an Syracusan Archimedes. Google Translator will translate Syrakousia, but not Syrakosia.
