S3L - Chapter 3
Before we begin, I would like to start with a little history lesson on Shang Simla, China:
Centuries before it became a tourist destination, Shang Simla's Emperor Pangu was at war with a great evil. This evil came in the form of another emperor. An "Emporer of Evil", if you would like to call it that. The Emporer of Evil wanted to take Shang Simla from Emperor Pangu's rule in order to use it as the capital for his New World Order. Pangu did not feel the need to defend Shang Simla from the Emperor of Evil as he thought of himself as the most powerful man on the face of the Earth. The evil emporer's army of theives, graverobbers and miscellanious criminels captured Pangu and jailed him in a circle of boulders. As legend says, Pangu escaped by crafting an axe powerful enough to smash through even the thickest of stones. When the Emporer of Evil found out about Pangu escaping, he and his army fled back to their homeland located miles away in the Valley of the Setting Sun. Emporer Pangu took his rightful place as leader of Shang Simla and hid his axe, Pangu's Axe, deep beneath a temple so that no one but the worthy would be able to find it. As for the Emporer of Evil, years later on his deathbed, he gave a mission to the next in line as Emporer to retrieve the axe and continue his work. Only one living being may know the mission at a time. It is said that the Legacy of the Emporer of Evil still lives on.
Welcome to another chapter of the Sims 3 Legacy. If you're wondering why this is being hosted on livejournal, it's because the image quality is much much better. In this chapter, I'm going to try a writing style that has failed me in the past. But unlike the other times, I actually have a plan going with this :D
Not really..okay, if you actually do read this, leave a comment so I know. 'Cause I'm going to write some stupid shit in the rest of the series. So yeah..okay, I won't.
"Say Mommy, Scarlett."
"Mwahaha"
Life carried on in the Legacy house. The only child (so far) of heir Avery and his wife, Dusty Bachelor (I kept calling her Rusty..for shame) was growing up as fast as she could. As an insane genius, she had a lot to live up to.
"Mommy?"
"Scarlett! You said mommy!"
"I wanna be a doctor."
"That's so sweet.."
"Euthanasia!"
"I really hope you said, 'You thin asian'."
Although impossible to tell, Dusty went into labor in the living room.
"My eyes are crossed."
Yes, that's why.
" *belch* "
Why did she have to be the spouse? Why didn't I pick Rebecca to be the heiress?
"Because those things will be explained later in the story!"
Dusty gave birth to a bravely evil little boy by the name of Steven Legacy. Now, I want you to take a moment and think about the names of these children. Scarlett and Steven. If you've read any of my previous legacies, you'll probably get the reference. If you need another hint, then here it is: if the next baby is a girl, she will be named Sophie (or if I really wanted to, Dot). If the next baby is a boy, he'll be named Ezekiel (or if I really wanted to, Aseenon). Get it?
No?!
A couple of uneventful days later, and it's time for Steven to grow up.
This should pretty well sum up his toddlerhood for you.
And that's what generation two is doing. Cause other than that, they're useless.
"Grandma! It's my birthday, right?"
"Yes, sweetie. Blow out your candles and make a wish."
"..Okay, I gots one."
"I want my little sibling in mommy to be happy and healthy."
How sweet. Because children get to be epic and have a shiny new trait, family oriented was rolled for Scarlett. So, reminding you of her traits, we have an evil, family-oriented genius. Kind of reminds me of someone from a past legacy. Last name kinda sounded like Do It.
"Okay, they get it. You're naming theme this generation is past founders and their siblings for your legacies. Steven and I are named after Steven and Scarlett De Witt and the future child is going to be an allusion to Ezekiel Sim of Legacy of Sim or Sophie Scotwire from A Scottish Legacy."
First of all, you're like 7; how do you know what allusion means? Second of all, you were born in your game about two years after the fall of a Scottish Legacy. There is no evidence of it left.
"You uploaded these photos to photobucket. Your old Boolprop advertisement signature featuring all of the Scotwires is still on there. Oh, and genius trait answers number one."
...How does this tie in with your insane trait?
"No clue."
Scarlett gets a totally awesome make-over!
I really wish she wasn't born evil. She should have rolled the angler trait. She's really good at this.
"Genius trait, once again."
I should have also had a founder named Mary Sue so you could have been named after her.
"This is my other labor face."
At least grimace a little. It can't be that fun.
"New granddaughter?"
"Yup."
So, as mentioned before, this child is going to be named after Sophie Scotwire from A Scottish Legacy. Sophie is the most commonly used name by me for legacy sims. I named a founder Sophie, my apocalypse generation two heiress was named Sophie. I just name sims this all the time.
"Voice, tell us her traits."
This Sophie is good and disciplined. Frankly, I think it's because that was my only legacy that got even close to generation 10. Then again, it was an alphabet legacy.
"For having only positive traits, my daughter, you're banished to the attic. Enjoy solitude."
Sophie grew up quickly and- SOPHIE, YOU AREN'T BEING DISCIPLINED! STOP PICKING YOUR NOSE!
"..Wah!!"
Steven became a child right after Sophie became a toddler. He rolled adventurous as his childhood trait.
"So I'm guessing that we're going to involve something from World Adventures soon, huh?"
Not telling.
"Dear journal,
As we are slowing getting through the chapter about generation three, I am reminded that one of us will be the heir. Personally, I think I would be best suited for this position, but grandpa tells me otherwise.
He says that boys will produce suitable offspring for the legacy and that I should 'Look at Rebecca's son Dallas' as proof to that. Okay, maybe Dallas is a bit kooky, but he and Steven are friends. Grandpa's an evil sim. He just wants the legacy to be filled with sims like him. Daddy is a lot nicer, but Steven seems to act a bit like grandpa.
Steven has ways of getting what he wants from others. He isn't the same kind of evil like grandpa. Grandpa is rude to everyone he meets while Steven is just manipulative."
As time progressed, the kids began to work harder to obtain their skills in life. Scarlett already knew by the time she was a child that her dream was to be a World Renowned Surgeon. It took Steven some time but he decided that he would become an Astronaut. Sophie still had a few years before she would get the experience needed to figure everything out.
"Ajay, I feel kind of funny."
"Tamara, you have little orbs around you. Of course you feel funny."
"No, I mean-"
POP!
"I think I'm dead."
Tamara Legacy (née Donner)
Lived to be 96 years old
Flirty, Hot-Headed, Charismatic, Daredevil, Mooch
Wife of Ajay Legacy
Mother of Rebecca and Avery Legacy
Grandmother of Scarlett, Steven, Dallas and Sophie Legacy.
"Yay, she's dead!"
"Hey mom, where's grandma?"
"Well Steven, she was sent to a farm to play with other grandmas all day long."
"What?"
"She's dead and I was talking about heaven."
"...I still don't understand how a farm is heaven?"
"Don't question me."
I'm pretty sure this is just here to indicate a group shot of all the generation three kids eligible for heirship.
"As soon as I'm old enough, I'm going to search the world for treasures."
"Steven, aren't you supposed to want to be an astronaut?"
"I'll need practice first."
"Let me get this straight, instead of being sad that grandma is dead you're talking about finding treasure."
"Yup."
"And I'm supposed to be the insane one."
Scarlett enters a local chess tournament and wins against the only other player. But because she's only a child, the title of chess champion was given to the old dude. Sucks to be a kid, huh?
"Hey Scarlett, can I talk to you?"
"Didn't we just have a conversation two slides ago?"
"Yeah, but this is important."
"What makes this conversation important, Steven?"
"It's about the heirship."
"Oh?"
"I..I don't want to be the heir. Grandpa wants a male heir every generation, but I just can't do it. I just want to have fun with my life, I don't want to be forced to live here."
"Okay, calm down."
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME!"
"Steven, I'm just trying to comfort you."
"Oh..okay."
Scarlett becomes a teenager and rolls the trait of being a Great Kisser. In the Sims 2, Scarlett De Witt was a romance sim so this does kind of fit.
Scarlett spends her free day as a teenager fishing, working out with her maternal uncle, Micheal Bachelor, and generally looking pretty freaking awesome!
After Scarlett's birthday, it was then time for Sophie's. Sophie developed the kleptomaniac trait after I decided to roll for it. I have yet to see her steal anything, though.
Since the kids were all old enough, and Ajay's lifebar was running low, I decided it was time to put World Adventures to use.
"Hi, I'd like to schedule a trip to..."
CHINA! YAY!
This is the first time I've played China. I've played Egypt before in another save of this game, but I still have yet to play China...okay, well I just FINSIHED playing China, but all of the documentation is from my first time playing it.
Okay?
"Grandpa?"
"Yes, my future heir?"
"I need to talk to you about that whole heir thing."
"Not now, Steven. Grandpa has to do something very important. This may even determine how your heirship will play out."
"Dammit."
"I need to find that object before they do."
Wait, what?
"Voice, remember when I was the Emperor of Evil?"
Yes.
"Well, from my work days, I have unfinished business."
Oh dammit! Why?
"Because you made me retire."
"Excuse me Miss, but why are my family jewels in your pockets?"
"I really suck at this kleptomania thing, don't I?"
"There, it's just across this ledge."
Pangu's axe?
"Precisely."
What the hell were you doing as the Emperor of Evil?
"Trying to control all of the world's riches. With this my heir can break through the boulders in France and Egypt to continue my work."
You realize that Steven wants to be an astronaut, right?
"The boy is adventurous; he'll love doing this."
Ajay, I created you thinking you'd be a normal founder. Evil, but at least normal.
"Well, times change. I'll be dead sometime before your next update and need to make sure that Steven has everything he needs to continue my legacy."
But this is MY legacy. You're just the founder.
"Well these are MY descendants. The heir takes over where I left off. And Avery isn't capable of any of this, he's just too neurotic to handle this."
"AARGH! Avery isn't good enough. Steven has potential. He loves adventure and is evil like me."
But not that kind of evil.
"There is only one kind of evil in my family."
I hope you die before you give him that axe.
"Don't count on it."
"Now to make sure that this is the real thing."
Either way it is. So, as you can see, my founder only wants male heirs and is forcing Steven to take over because of his traits. Welcome to my little hell.
"Boo!"
"Am I supposed to be scared?"
"Well, my dear, you should be."
"Why?"
"I'm a ghost."
"And?"
"And?! Why aren't you scared."
"My grandpa is scarier than you."
"What?"
"Are you the Mona Lisa?"
"Wh..what does that have to do with ANYTHING?"
"I'm trying to use my insane trait."
"Well..young lady, it seems to be working. I..I really have to go."
*WHOOSH*
"I feel funny."
"What just happened?"
You had a little freak out.
"So..my insane trait finally kicked in?"
Thanks to that ghost.
"Oh..wow."
Meanwhile, Dusty begins taking up martial arts.
"That vacation was fun, wasn't it, Ajay?"
"Yeah. Listen, woman, make sure to tell Steven that the axe I brought back with me is a gift for him and that he should keep it with him at all times."
"How sweet of you. I'm sure he'll love it."
The final tidbit of information for this chapter to remember is that Steven is now a teenager. His teenage trait is that he is a PARTY ANIMAL!
Woo, so that was chapter 3. As you can see, generation 3 is a bit confusing so I'll sum it up in point form:
Founder Ajay never wanted a female heir, that's why he didn't appoint Rebecca (G2 spare) to be the heir
Avery isn't the proper heir that Ajay wanted either
As Emperor of Evil, Ajay was trying to control the world's riches but couldn't so his heir must do it for him
Steven has the traits desired by Ajay to continue his legacy
Steven doesn't want to be the heir yet his sister Scarlett wants to be
Sophie who?
That's it, goodnight.

No?!
A couple of uneventful days later, and it's time for Steven to grow up.
This should pretty well sum up his toddlerhood for you.
And that's what generation two is doing. Cause other than that, they're useless.
"Grandma! It's my birthday, right?"
"Yes, sweetie. Blow out your candles and make a wish."

"I want my little sibling in mommy to be happy and healthy."
How sweet. Because children get to be epic and have a shiny new trait, family oriented was rolled for Scarlett. So, reminding you of her traits, we have an evil, family-oriented genius. Kind of reminds me of someone from a past legacy. Last name kinda sounded like Do It.
"Okay, they get it. You're naming theme this generation is past founders and their siblings for your legacies. Steven and I are named after Steven and Scarlett De Witt and the future child is going to be an allusion to Ezekiel Sim of Legacy of Sim or Sophie Scotwire from A Scottish Legacy."

...How does this tie in with your insane trait?
"No clue."
Scarlett gets a totally awesome make-over!
I really wish she wasn't born evil. She should have rolled the angler trait. She's really good at this.
"Genius trait, once again."
I should have also had a founder named Mary Sue so you could have been named after her.
"This is my other labor face."
At least grimace a little. It can't be that fun.
"New granddaughter?"
"Yup."
So, as mentioned before, this child is going to be named after Sophie Scotwire from A Scottish Legacy. Sophie is the most commonly used name by me for legacy sims. I named a founder Sophie, my apocalypse generation two heiress was named Sophie. I just name sims this all the time.
"Voice, tell us her traits."

Steven became a child right after Sophie became a toddler. He rolled adventurous as his childhood trait.

"Ajay, I feel kind of funny."
"Tamara, you have little orbs around you. Of course you feel funny."
"No, I mean-"
POP!
"I think I'm dead."
Tamara Legacy (née Donner)
Lived to be 96 years old
Flirty, Hot-Headed, Charismatic, Daredevil, Mooch
Wife of Ajay Legacy
Mother of Rebecca and Avery Legacy
Grandmother of Scarlett, Steven, Dallas and Sophie Legacy.
"Yay, she's dead!"
"Hey mom, where's grandma?"
"Well Steven, she was sent to a farm to play with other grandmas all day long."
"What?"
"She's dead and I was talking about heaven."
"...I still don't understand how a farm is heaven?"

Since the kids were all old enough, and Ajay's lifebar was running low, I decided it was time to put World Adventures to use.
"Hi, I'd like to schedule a trip to..."
CHINA! YAY!
This is the first time I've played China. I've played Egypt before in another save of this game, but I still have yet to play China...okay, well I just FINSIHED playing China, but all of the documentation is from my first time playing it.
Okay?
"Grandpa?"
"Yes, my future heir?"
"I need to talk to you about that whole heir thing."
"Not now, Steven. Grandpa has to do something very important. This may even determine how your heirship will play out."
"Dammit."
"I need to find that object before they do."
Wait, what?
"Voice, remember when I was the Emperor of Evil?"
Yes.
"Well, from my work days, I have unfinished business."
Oh dammit! Why?
"Because you made me retire."
"Excuse me Miss, but why are my family jewels in your pockets?"
"I really suck at this kleptomania thing, don't I?"
"There, it's just across this ledge."
Pangu's axe?
"Precisely."
What the hell were you doing as the Emperor of Evil?
"Trying to control all of the world's riches. With this my heir can break through the boulders in France and Egypt to continue my work."
You realize that Steven wants to be an astronaut, right?
"The boy is adventurous; he'll love doing this."
Ajay, I created you thinking you'd be a normal founder. Evil, but at least normal.

"There is only one kind of evil in my family."
I hope you die before you give him that axe.
"Don't count on it."
"Now to make sure that this is the real thing."
Either way it is. So, as you can see, my founder only wants male heirs and is forcing Steven to take over because of his traits. Welcome to my little hell.
"Boo!"
"Am I supposed to be scared?"
"Well, my dear, you should be."
"Why?"
"I'm a ghost."
"And?"
"And?! Why aren't you scared."
"My grandpa is scarier than you."
"What?"
"Are you the Mona Lisa?"
"Wh..what does that have to do with ANYTHING?"
"I'm trying to use my insane trait."
"Well..young lady, it seems to be working. I..I really have to go."
