Time Paradox

Location: Sunset Valley Time Period: Encompassing at least 400 days

What happens when a time-space rift brings in people from ancient cultures? What happens when this same rift radically alters the said characters? What happens when a neighborhood is filled with individual enmities?

CAS Characters

Recurring First Time Warp CAS

• Kleisthenes Alkmaionides: The main character in the Prologue, he is one of the first to witness this time rift. He has the skills that will help him out greatly in both social and financial matters. Now separated from his enemies back in Athenai, will he root in this new neighborhood?
• Andromeda Alkmaionida: The eldest of the Alkmaionids, Andromeda suffered quite a blow from Kleisthenes' fall from power and her experiences with the time warp was unsettling, making Andromeda a coward. However, Andromeda is quite skilled in cooking, and isn't impaired socially or mentally in any matter.
• Chryseis Alkmaionida: The third, Chryseis is the most positive of the bunch: Chryseis not only has the intellect, but Chryseis also has an aspiration to find romance, viewing the time warp as a new beginning. Will Chryseis be able to act upon that positive character and yield positive result?
• Eurydike Alkmaionida: The youngest, Eurydike's character was affected by the rift, giving Eurydike affinity for electronics in exchange for sanity. Nonetheless, Eurydike is by no means a disable character, and Eurydike wishes to help out the family.
• Helene Alkmaionida: The niece of Kleisthenes, Helene is most influenced by Chryseis, and certainly believes that two positive opinions are better than one. Helene also finds secondary school somewhat intriguing as well...

• Philetairos Attalides: The head of the Attalid group, the rift alters Philetairos, giving him genitalia in exchange for his excess fat. Philetairos remains a friendly guy, and certaily wishes to liven things up even in a new setting.
• Eumenes Attalides: Philetairos' brother, Eumenes wholeheartedly supports Philetairos' agenda. Even though Eumenes is a supporting character without much independence, Eumenes certainly has luck, and he wishes to be an athelete and wishes to get the fame equivalent to that of a Olympics winner. However, in the second time warp he is truer to his historical self, and henceforth bookish and friendly (to the Greek city states and the Romaioi, that is). Of course, there is a needed suspension of belief, but that is more towards Philetairos, who is probably a eunuch, fat, and historically 2 generations ahead of Eumenes.
• Stratonike Attalida: The true main character of the first chapter, Stratonike is affected the same way as Eurydike has been. However, Stratonike gets a bigger package of adventure than her predecessor, ranging from death by meteor, Simbot creation, collection of one too many gems, and so on.
• Parthenope Attalida: Philetairos' partner, Parthenope wishes to have an huge stock of wine nectar to fuel the party loving atmosphere prevalent in the Attalid house. Strangely enough, Parthenope is also blessed with tech skills, but surprisingly didn't lose her sanity.
• Polyxena Attalida: Parthenope's sister, Polyxena's as if her traits came from Artemis and Aphrodites, being a lady of nature while having an interest in finding romance. Polyxena is not handicapped in technology, and Polyxena certainly is eager to use the affinity for the outdoors in her career aspirations.
• Theophania Attalida: Stratonike's Simbot, Theophania is the first of the kind in the story, although by no means is Theophania an close counterpart to Frankenstein's monster: In fact, Theophania was in good terms with Stratonike, accompanying Stratonike in a trip to China with the purpose of being more proficient in Martial Arts.

• Demetria Mykenaia: The Social and Musical member of the Beauty 4, Demetria is certainly eager and well-equipped for a career of fan-capturing musical career. As the extrovert, Demetria certainly is more than happy to steer the household of roomates to virtual stardom.
• Thessalonike Thalamaia: The Fitness member of the Beauty 4, Thessalonike is an solid disciplinarian, tenacious yet friendly. However, her lack of humor does her little good, although her experience was largely limited to Achaia and Demetria, both not minding such quirks. But will this get in the way of a successful career, one that will probably require a close relationships with workmates?
• Achaia Oropia: The Artistic member of the Beauty 4, Achaia is as romantic and impractical as ever. Not only is Achaia an Hopeless Romantic, Achaia's love of sleep definitely makes prospects of a regular career at an job impractical. However, will her love of art and books find alternate source of revenue, and for her, a soulmate?
• Kallisto Syrakousia: The Mechanical member of the Beauty 4, Kallisto is the main character of the second chapter and the most noticeable of the bunch. Kallisto not only has Cyan hair and eyes, Kallisto also wishes to do what Stratonike did, and do even more. Due to Kallisto's talents and her lack of desire to mix with people, Demetria and Achaia would often say that Kallisto was overcompensated.

• Hyperia Pydnaia: Hyperia is the main character of the third chapter of the First time warp, and also one of the major characters in the second time warp as well. Hyperia is a Renaissance sim, having skills in varying fields. Hyperia used her massive skill base to subjugate the skilled Beauty 4, and made herself the leader and renaming it the Scholars' Alliance. However, Hyperia's good start doesn't continue in the social realm in the second time warp.
• Lilian Syrakousia: Kallisto's ancestor-turned-daughter acquired via time travel. Although the original plan was to discard the character (as non-adults cannot have their names changed in the Hall before Generations with testingcheatsenabled), Lilian was kept alongside Salina to be supporting characters in the Scholars' Alliance. Although Lilian's contribution to the plot in the First Time Warp is minimal, Lilian gets a significantly greater role in the Second Time Warp.
• Salina Thalamaia: Thessalonike's ancestor-turned-daughter, much like Lilian.

Characters first appearing in the second time warp

• Lysistrata Amphipolita: Lysistrata is a supporting character, usually right behind the main characters. Like Eurydike, Stratonike and Kallisto, Lysistrata also is blessed with affinity for electronics and cursed with insanity. Lysistrata is more bookish compared to the predecessors. Despite not being a genius, Lysistrata's main strength is Logic, and Lysistrata is quite a mad doctor. Good thing Lysistrata didn't go around causing havoc...
• Stephanophoros Syrakousios: Kallisto's fourth Simbot. His traits are widespread, ranging from Nurturing to Photographer's Eye, but he wishes to be a firefighter.

• Marcvs Porcivs Cato: The Mishellenic Orator, Cato certainly isn't pleased with what he views as a town overrun by Hellenic overlords. ROMA VICTRIX! Cato is hopeful that at least Pompeius will side with him, as he disagrees with both Caesar and Flaminivs in their view on suggested attitudes towards the Hellenes.
• Gnaevs Pompeivs Magnvs: Another Barbaros. Pompeivs decides to go into the field of business, seeing how Crassvs had won his riches in the unscrupulous business. Pompeivs also makes amends with Caesar, seeing as Sunset Valley isn't the seat of SPQR. Pompeivs wants to do to the Hellenic overlords that Cato mentions what he did to Arche Seleukeia, although he decides to keep low until the time is right... Although he has another agenda with the famously pro-Roman Attalids.
• Ivlivs Caesar: The third Barbaros. Caesar is certainly less hostile to the Greeks, although by the nature of being a Romaios Barbaros Caesar is certainly less than well-meaning.
• Titvs Qvinctivs Flaminivs: The Philhellenic Barbaros. The most open to Hellenes, Flaminivs disagrees with Cato's idea of making enemies with the Hellenes in hopes of taking them down and seizing dominance. However, Flaminivs certainly isn't too happy with Hellenic superpowers and vows to take them down.

• Antigone Syrakousia: Kallisto's clone. Although raised in such nearly over-competitive atmosphere, Antigone certainly finds it enjoyable.

The actual story

First Time Warp: Prologue

The fleeing Alkmaionids suddenly find themselves in Sunset Valley: being given this new beginning, they decide to buy a house "El" Urban Sprawl and expand upon it greatly. From there the Alkmaionidai started the acquisition of much needed skills that would assist greatly in their careers. In a constant toil involving writing, gardening, fishing, cooking, and so on, it was only a matter of time before the Alkmaionidai became proficient in the skills, and soon found themselves easing into careers, with Andromeda reaching level 10 in the Cooking career. Despite their successes in employment, the Alkmaionidai were largely secluded from the neighborhood, their interactions with the outsiders mostly limited to interactions at work, asides from a party that Kleisthenes throws in hopes of gaining acceptance, only to be insulted once by his close friend Cycl0n3 Sw0rd. Despite some efforts into getting their presence known, the Alkmaionidai were largely unknown to the general public.

The Arrival of the Attalidai

Then the story takes a new group of dynamic characters, the Attalidai. Unlike the Alkmaionidai, who were of the refugee origins and henceforth initially resistant to drawing attention, the Attalidai being largely Party Animals were more than eager to draw attention to themselves, usually throwing about 2 to 3 parties a week. This also coincided with Parthenope's goal of obtaining enough wine Nectar, which was initiated by a visit to Champs Les Sims and obtaining the said book. Even before the trip to France, Parthenope got pregnant and gave birth to twin daughters Olympias and Thetis, who grew up to be fine, Olympias being a pragmatic logician and disciplinarian while Thetis being a brave artistic bookworm. However, the true core of the story belongs to Stratonike, who despite being at the shadows and generally avoiding the hectic party atmosphere common in the first floor, concentrated her efforts into mastering the art of invention. But when it came to Simbots, Stratonike needed a Pink Diamond, and this led to the Attalid trip to China, leading to the start of the Martial Arts tradition among the Attalids, the instigator not being Stratonike but rather Eumenes (although Stratonike quickly becomes the pioneer). Having worked hard enough, Stratonike is rewarded with the pink diamond, which Stratonike gives it a heart-cut aided by having hunted other gems via the Collection Helper reward, which would have a vital ramification on a second trip to China.

Having obtained the pink diamond (and bunch of random seeds, gems, and ores), Stratonike gathers enough material with the assistance of Polyxena who helps with the cultivation of Life fruits. Stratonike then successfully creates the first Simbot in the story universe, and bestows upon the Simbot the name Theophania, with whom Stratonike engaged in a close relationship. After some time of more parties and Philetairos' promotion to Chef de Cuisine, Stratonike and Theophania takes a mother-and-brainchild trip to China, where Stratonike is struck by meteor while in training. Just as hopes were ebbing away from Theophania, by a stroke of luck did the Grim Reaper find a death flower seed from Stratonike's hodgepodge, reviving Stratonike. Initially, Stratonike believed this to be the work of a life fruit seed, but after surfing some web and taking inventory, it was found out that it was a death flower seed. Being equipped with that vital information, Stratonike acquires more seeds, which Polyxena took and cultivated death flowers with all while being promoted to the position of Mad Scientist.

The Anabasis of Beauty 4

When the Attalid parties became an virtual institution of the Sunset Valley, the Beauty 4 came to town, led by Demetria who was by nature attracted to the Attalid love of parties. Alongside Demetria was Thessalonike, Achaia and Kallisto, most of them not as eager as Demetria to come into a town recently populated by a group of rich party animals, but none as opposed to that idea initially as Kallisto. However, after some self-development and party-hosting of their own, Kallisto took notice of Stratonike and Theophania, and took resolve into completing her lifetime wish. It took several weeks and several deaging secret maneuvers first discovered by the Attalids (the makeover age reset) to turn the four into superpowers in their own right, with Demetria cruising through the Music career and selecting the Rockstar path, Thessalonike successfully mastering both the Martial Arts skill and the Athletic skills required for her lifetime wish while at the same time successfully becoming the only Legend of Sports ever in the neighborhood. Achaia on the other hand also fared pretty well, mastering Cooking, Sculpting and most importantly Writing, her main source of income. Kallisto however became the second of the Renaissance Sims (Stratonike being the first, and Achaia being the third), blitzing through handiness and invention, while also mastering Martial Arts for the same reason as Stratonike did. Having succeeded in all of that, Kallisto also fulfills her lifetime wish, creating Briseis, Eurylochos, and Selene in that order, only to send them away as Kallisto deemed them to be in need of self-identities and political representation, allowing them to occupy the old Crumplebottom residence. Despite their monumental successes, they would succeed even more under an upstart...

Hyperia

Then, out of nowhere, Hyperia came in and occupied an house. Although most people did not realize this, Hyperia was actually one of the Illuminati who mastered the Time Warp, using that to first master Cooking, Painting, Handiness, Fishing and Gardening with which to establish herself with. Having mastered numerous skills, it was only a matter of time before Hyperia took notice of the Beauty 4 and took measures to subjugate them. Succeeding in that colossal task, Hyperia became the number one in Sunset Valley in terms of skills while making close friends with all the Beauty 4, especially with Kallisto while keeping them content (having renamed the group Scholars' Alliance at that point) by providing them with autonomy. This union of the old and new gains more momentum when Stratonike joins them, and all seems to go well... until another time warp occurs.

The Second Time Warp

The second time warp would bring back to life the expired Alkmaionidai, all passing away to old age. However, this came at the cost of all their skills, and it took time to reconstruct their once firm yet inconspicuous position on the neighborhood. The Alkmaionidai also takes in a newcomer, Lysistrata Amphipolita into their care, and Lysistrata becomes an excellent logician and practioner of medical care. Lysistrata kept good ties with all of the Alkmaionidai, and this allowed Lysistrata to keep touch with them when she and Eurydike would eventually move away.

Return of the Scholars' Alliance and the beginning of localized feuds

The Scholars return, although Hyperia's latest gains in skills were lost. This set the stage for the second period in the Scholars' Alliance, a time of tension, as Hyperia was no longer invincible per se. This newcoming superpower certainly alarmed the Altos, and even mean-spirited Nick couldn't afford to make enemies on two fronts, and with suggestions from Vita, decides to scout them first while doing the unthinkable: ending the enmity between the Landgraabs just in case his mean-spiritedness would get the better of him, while keeping a good name with them by inducing Holly to befriend Kallisto. (some say that this led to Holly's eventual insanity) While all the Altos' diplomatic maneuvering was taking place, Christopher Steel became an epicenter for a potential disaster, kissing and captivating Achaia, Jamie, Ayesha and Hyperia. This led to a conflict in interest in the Scholars' Alliance: Demetria, who was first fed up with Hyperia's direction of less party and more study, supported Achaia's claim to Christopher, causing a rift between Demetria and Hyperia. In response, Kallisto and Stratonike peel away from the now-dysfunctional group, establishing the Union of the Insane, inviting Lysistrata and Eurydike, who were also insane. Eventually, this infighting drove Hyperia out, who ended up taking refuge at the Union of the Insane's domains. This opened up an friendly skills race between Kallisto and Hyperia, which was then joined by Stratonike momentarily.

While all of those were happening, enmities started to form: The Bunch family got on the wrong side of Nick Alto, and Achaia herself got herself in an clash with Vita Alto. Christopher Steel would suffer many calamities, losing Ayesha to drowning (although he will beat a dead horse, incurring a communal backlash against him), while becoming enemies with Layton Sekemoto. The Landgraabs also got new enemies, Geoffrey conflicting with Andromeda.

The Coming of the Romaioi Barbaroi and the effective dissolution of the Beauty 4

What has turned into a potential chaos was not abated by the coming of the Romaioi. The Barbaroi wishes to establish superiority, which didn't turn out so well as of this point. However, the Barbaroi did succeed in making enemies (and friends), Pompeivs making enemies with Kleisthenes. Barbaroi kept themselves at the periphery, even though Cato was all too eager to make enemies with the Hellenic overlords, although Cato did not meet with any member of the Union of the Insane.

Meanwhile, Thessalonike's newfound tendency to go cheating in romantic relationships soon gave her an reputation, and with it came opposition from Achaia, eventually resulting in termination of their friendships. This led to a huge problem to Demetria, as Demetria wished to hold what remained, although Demetria eventually became neutral to Hyperia. Demetria was devastated: The very union that Demetria oversaw was about to crumble: Kallisto deserted a long time ago, and now the growing rift between Thessalonike and Achaia would only worsen things for Demetria, who attempted to cope with this with more parties.

The Skill Race of the Union of the Insane

However, a clear lack of leadership position in the Union of the Insane led to a Skill Race, mostly between Kallisto and Hyperia with some participation by Stratonike. The presumed goal is to be the true number one, and henceforth implied leadership in the household. However, unlike the case with the now largely derelict Scholars' Alliance, such competitions were quite friendly and frictions were rare: In fact, Kallisto and Hyperia remained special friends, although the main members still were a net of close superstar friends. Meanwhile, they began to plan for their eventual true hegemony marked by property ownership, which would eventually lead to a clash with the Romaioi. Despite this direction, most of them were oblivious to the Romaioi, with only Lysistrata and Eurydike having met Pompeivs and Ivlivs respectively and nothing else. In all of this constructive competitive atmosphere, Kallisto acquired a clone and named her Antigone, who would benefit much from her upbringing in a supercompetent atmosphere.

The Great War

Eventually, Christopher Steel hypocritically considering his tendency to flirt (he had cheated quite a lot, and had romances with at least 4 sims) accuses Hyperia of cheating on him even when Hyperia quit romance quite a while ago. This immediately sparks a publically known feud: with Jamie Jolina, Jamie's lack of celebrity status kept Jamie's meat against Christopher private, but with Hyperia, media was on to Hyperia's radar of things. Of course, Hyperia being publically humiliated asks Stratonike for assistance, when conveniently Lysistrata came to Hyperia's aid as Lysistrata was that centerpiece of the Medical community that Jamie was a part of. Lysistrata would go subvert the entire medical community against Christopher as a retribution for hurting an ally. Essentially, it was the World War I in a neighborhood scale without guns. Of course, Jamie was all too happy to have a powerful set of allies against her enemy, and would go on turning her friends to wage a psychological war against Christopher. Achaia would be shocked: Achaia now happened to be the girlfriend of the public enemy, and ended up envying Demetria, who had a relatively happy end so far being an fiancee of Abraham Finkel. With Jolina firmly allied to the Union of the Insane, the core members pour out what would be called the Great Bowls of Wrath, starting from Lysistrata's communal assault on Christopher's reputation to Stratonike's barrage of hurt. While all this events that would have come to pass didn't occur when Hyperia ended this with the Clear Slate, Ivlivs however used the growing commotion and slipping past the radars of Kallisto and Hyperia made great friends with all the remaining members of the Beauty 4.

The Insane Ones' Hegemony and the beginnings of Bridgeport Invasion

Kallisto however was not satisfied with the Union's practical hegemony over Sunset Valley, and eyed a new town to invade. Kallisto chose the lively city of Bridgeport, proceeding with the plan by doing another unprecedented action: creating 3 true clones with identical traits, looks, and initial skills and dispatching the 3 to Bridgeport to establish a forward base of operation. Kallisto's imperial goals was no short of establishing a great empire no less than that of Alexandros for herself, and the others simply didn't care as they were quite occupied in overseeing their domains.

Even though Kallisto clones, due to their looks, had all the fame of the original Kallisto, but they initially were able to operate outside the radar of the established celebrities, since they were either too occupied with their party life or had feuds of their own (i.e. Vampiric war) The Kallisto clones would receive fundings from Kallisto, allowing them to buy a respectable house and enough initial funds to take over several real estates, from which they withheld initially to keep their presence and objectives covert as possible.

Notes, Footnotes and Trivia

• The current leaderboard was created from data taken from the World saved in July 6th. The most recent progresses were lost to a crash.
• Because Late Night wasn't installed when Olympias and Thetis was there, Olympias and Thetis had different zodiac symbols. It was corrected with Generations via testingcheatsenabled cheat.
• The Attalids in the first time warp and the second time warp had different zodiac symbols: Even then Olympias and Thetis STILL had different zodiac signs, despite being twins.
• There are two sims who has a trait change as necessitated by the story: Eumenes Attalides, who gains the bookworm trait as an allusion to him expanding the Library of Pergamon and Thessalonike, who replaces the No Sense of Humor with the Rebellious trait catalyzed by her reputation as a cheater in romantic relationships.
