Doing this TVTropes style.
==Story in General==
*Anachronism Stew: Plenty, asides from the time traveling themselves. For one, Demetria's last name refers to Mycenae, which pretty much was a tourist location since the Roman period. Also, given the Modern Greek transliteration that renders the eta (η) as i, Demetria and Thessalonike would be transliterated as Dimitria and Thessaloniki respectively rather than Demetria and Thessalonike, which are
*'''''Time Travel''''': Well, Alkmaionids of the 5th century B.C.? Attalids of the 2nd century B.C.? The Ptolemies of the 3rd/2nd century B.C.? Pi? Yup.
*'''WooHoo is Evil''': One of the major tenets of Kallisto's new way of life
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
*Superstition Episode: The [[Wikipedia:Evil eye|evil eye]] is lightly covered in the Defect Tiberium episode. Given historical evidences of Ancient Greeks having access to such notions as well, this may be expanded
*Failure is the only option: Applies several ways: For the Ecclesiarchy, it is getting a large size of male followers. For the Council of Bridgeport, it would be doing anything concrete in a significant fashion, with the exception of making allies with the Bronzefangs.
*Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: For two primary reasons: excessively large scope of the story (as is the case with Thessalonike), and pure laziness (as is the case with the Bronzefangs of Ezekiel). Doesn't help that the user also has real-life commitment. Damn. However, Development of Sunlit Tides have continued the story, but hasn't gone deeply into the big plot of Ecclesiarchy vs pro-WooHoo/pro-Celebrity fight yet.
==Character Specific==
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
*Wrench Wench: Filled with them. Kallisto wants to recruit more, such as Yuri Kang and Eun Jin Choi.
*You have outlived your Usefulness: Averted. Kallisto was not happy about the surprise pregnancy (that would imply another thing), but decided that Tessa was still too valuable to cast out, and decides to undo the entire chain of events via time manipulation, using renovation as an excuse.
*Captain Ersatz: As the name would imply, the Ecclesiarchy is definitely based on 40k materials. Has an inflexible doctrine? If talking romance check. Calls things they don't like heresy? Check. Likes consolidation of power? Check. Also, while the Jesuits were one of the inspiration for the Ecclesiarchal structures, the actual modus operandi is closer to the Byzantine monastic life.
====Big 6 in General====
Line 103 ⟶ 104:
=====Phthinophoria Eschateria=====
*Creating Life is Awesome: first sim to be purely artificially created by the Ecclesiarchy, not just cloned. <strike>Subverted in-actual-game-mechanicwise as Phthinophoria was made by altering an Esomena clone made from the clone elixir.</strike>
*Field Promotion: Promoted from a simple member of the Sunset Valley Chapter Member to the status of governor-general (Epitrope) of Sunlit Tides
*Hypercompetent Sidekick: Subverted. Phthinophoria has gone through building projects equal to or perhaps greater than Esomena in a much shorter time. However, Phthinophoria relied on preexisting blueprints from the Headquarters (minus the alchemy shop), while Esomena did it on her own.
===Friends of the Ecclesiarchy===
Line 132 ⟶ 135:
====Hugo's Orphanage====
=====General=====
*<strike>Put in a Bus: They do not return to Heptanomis, as is a good portion of the families in Hekatonschoinos.</strike>
=====Hugo-Kais Aunel (Mathis)=====
*Adult Child: Very much. Prefers leisure and gaming over duties.
Line 138 ⟶ 141:
*Good Is Dumb: One of the few genuinely good characters. Although he isn't dumb intellectually, he is far below average when it comes to skills, especially when compared to say his [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|gaming friend]].
*Geek/Otaku: A Warhammer Fan, to the point where he adopted Tau Names. Apparently skilled, as nobody complains about him assuming the surname Aunel, as Aun is the prefix for the Etherial caste.
*Nice Guy: Really. He may not have the Good trait but he is one of those few characters who
*Proud to be a Geek: The reason why Kallisto ever took notice of the guy in the first place.
=====Leonardo Mathis=====
Line 173 ⟶ 176:
*Red and Blue: Ezekiel's much more confrontational than Demetria, the latter seeking a bit of compromise and reform to prevent violence. Ezekiel believes that the fundamentalist nature of the Ecclesiarchal Papal State will eventually necessitate conflict (given the Ecclesiarchy's Neo-Malthusian view that proposes the castration of all Simkind and replace population via artificial wombs), Demetria believes that pragmatism and changes on their part could solve it (for one, Papacy did not use brute force to acquire territories, and the assassination of Alana was not Kallisto's initial plan: Kallisto had little interest in Sunlit Tides itself initially. In addition, the primary reason for the secession, notably Twinbrook, was caused by anti-celebrity sentiments and others: Pollair being an environmentalist found the radically pro-progress Ecclesiarchy more attractive.)
