Fanon:Time Paradox/Tropes

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 more in lines of Ancient Greek.
• 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
• Cultural Rebel: Subverted, given that the Ecclesiarchy's core members are largely Greek. However, played straight for the most part with Kallisto, given that Kallisto is not Ancient Greek, and neither are the 3 Disciples. However, not entirely played straight given that the celebrity culture of Bridgeport is largely Western.
• Rebel Leader: Subverted by the case of David Pollair, given that the SimNation is not brutal, although he is allied with Kallisto.
• Grey and Grey Morality: There are no true "evil" factions, only different points of view. On the one hand, the status quo topped by the celebrities promote fame and fortune, while Kallisto rejects it, preferring an monastic life of development and work toward overal progress. For flaws, the celebrity culture often is quite exclusive, looking down upon those who have not yet reached the celebrity rung, while the Ecclesiarchy is intolerant to romance (and luxury for its own sake), deeming it detrimental to the ideal style of life that it promotes.
• Alpha Girl/Jerk Jock: How Kallisto views the celebrities and Demetria does this as well

Character Specific

Ecclesiarchy

• Asexuality: Or rather, antisexuality. WooHoo is considered heresy.
• A Million is a statistic: Not in humans, but rather in simoleons: In a typical neighborhood, an house of §100,000 is quite valuable, and a family fund of §75,000 is considered rich (considering the Altos and the Landgraabs). However, given the higher curve in Hekatonschoinos, not even §300,000 is considered rich by Ecclesiarchal standards but rather considered a reserve funds to absorb the shock. On top, real estates are lot more expensive: buying all of Hekatonschoinos's real estates would take around 7 million simoleons.
• Death by WooHoo: Averted, although there were no cases of execution due to WooHoo. However, by the glory invested in causation, romance causes WooHoo, and toleration means heresy. Just ask Antigone. On the other hand, Tessa had a surprise pregnancy with Hippias. Kallisto was not amused.
• Non-Idle Rich: Luxury is heresy, and Ecclesiarchal members are expected to maintain all equipments and produce something of value, given very few things are now beyond the Ecclesiarchy's grasp.
• Power Inflation: No preset sims ever mastered a skill. In the Ecclesiarchy, mastering one skill is pretty much expected, and Core members are to have mastered a minimum of 3 skills.
• Shout Out: Ecclesiarchy basically replicates the Jesuit call for higher educational standards and lower corruption.
• 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.

Big 6 in General

• Cloudcookoolander: All but one are insane. However, level of insanity portrayed differs: Kallistrata playing this in a most straight manner, while Lysistrata doesn't really show up.
• Munchkin: Mastering 9 skills at bare minimum. Mastery of 13 skills is not unheard of, and in many cases one has almost mastered a skill.
• Robot Master: All of the Big 6 can make SimBots, and have plenty of materials to make it happen.
• Church Militant: Although not all that aggressive, they are certainly eager to make hostile moves, such as the bombardment of Bridgeport simply for its status as the core of the celebrity culture and the fact that the celebrities of the first timeline gave the Beauty 4 the cold shoulders, one of the reason why Demetria has some issues with their second timeline counterparts.
• Nerds are Virgins: Well, they are all above average in academic record and far below in social track.

Kallisto Syrakosia

• Archmage: Has genie powers and psychic powers. Top that up with martial proficiency.
• Cloudcookoolander: Kallisto is serious about the anti-celebrity business. However, outside the realms of politics... Kallisto wants nothing more than to eat Freezer Bunny Ice Cream while speaking madness, usually about the glory of the coming nephelokokkygia.
• Death from Above: Bombed Bridgeport. Subverted given that no one actually died from all the bombardment.
• Emperor: Well, Kallisto is the ruler of the Papal State alongside the rest of the Big 6.
• For Science!: To be exact, for science to relieve us from primitive ways!
• Genius Bruiser: Kallisto is not only mentally gifted, but also an master of the Martial arts along with the rest of the Big 6
• Nakama/True Companions: Kallisto is very used to this: Scholars' Alliance and Union of the Insane.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: A rather unintentional one, as the design of houses were undergone to allow for as many as skill related tools as possible, jacking the average prices of Hekatonschoinos homes in general, to the point where Kallisto had to deliberately make houses for the poor which would have to rely on the public workhouses for skill practice.
• Strict Disciplinarian: Although Kallisto isn't the meanest matron to the orphans (e.g. Esomena), Kallisto has no tolerance to any traces of heresy whatsoever. On the other hand, Kallisto is generally well-mannered. Also, the reason why Kallisto ended up creating an official doctrine in the first place is to prevent another schism.
• Proud Scholar Race Girl: Wishes to forge a new culture based on scholasticism
• Robot Master: Built 5 Simbots total, more than any other in the Fanon Namespace, although 4 of the 5 are no longer aligned with her timeline. Of course, Kallisto can always build more, as can rest of her companions.
• Well-meaning Extremist: Your Mileage May Vary.

Stratonike Attalida

• Badass Family: both Stratonike and Theophania (Stratonike's simbot) are in the Military Career. To a lesser extent, also extends to the brother of husband of the sister, who also have some Martial Arts points.
• Friend to All Asians: Stratonike is by far the most open to the Asian population, and Stratonike is the one who is seeking to make Papal colonies in the Far East Asia. Somewhat different to the overall Attalid attitude, as Attalids assume the mindset of tourists, while Stratonike assume the mindset of near-equal political power.
• Grumpy Old Woman: Somewhat: Stratonike is the second oldest chronologically, given Eurydike is of the 5th century. However, Stratonike has the longest continual storyline given that Eurydike has expired in the first timeline. Stratonike is good at repelling people unlike Kallisto, and has made several uncomfortable relations with many. However, takes a sharp turn with a surprisingly smooth moves on Bradley that settled Esomena's crisis.
• Scrooge: Stratonike wants to tone down the Naos-Stratopedon, reducing luxury while increasing its functionality, reducing pool areas, eliminating superfluous bathrooms, and eliminating all decorations save those that were produced. Ironically, most decorative items in the Naos-Stratopedon are crafted or refined, one of the reasons why Stratonike isn't too unhappy about the house, especially since Stratonike appreciates time saved in sleeping that is a result of a good bed.
