BaCC: New Advorton | Meet the Settlers
In history textbooks, the area of New Advorton is described as "a place, where oldest proofs of Advortonian adventurer's presence on The New Land where found". Every kid knows the legends about buried tombs of brave knights, magical creatures running free in the thick forest, and lost treasures, waiting to be discovered. However, rugged climate and isolation prevented Sims to settle that area. Until now.
The group of brave settlers, leaded by well - known historician build a small research camp. They're willing to discover the secrets of this land and share them with the world.
You came here too meet them, didn't you? Then, follow me.
Professor Anastos Ekitz
Popularity/Knowladge | 8/7/4/0/6 | Neutral Wizard | Founder
A few months ago he had everything he ever wished for: a calm work as a lecturer of SimKingdom history at Academie le Tour, trusted friends and the respect of students. His essays were appreciated and he felt...happy.
Then, that witchcraft thing came out as well as the truth about his researches. Or rather: lack of research, replaced by the socery. His explanation that he can watch the past by the crystal ball did not help. Ashamed, professor Ekitz decided to prove that he is capable of a reliable research.
His research camp was located in the area of first visits of Advorton adventures on the New Land. Anastos hopes he will find something that will give him back a respect and prove that magical abilities could help at exploring the past.
However, no sooner than the settlers arrived to New Advorton, professor Ekitz realised that, as the originator of idea, he has to be the leader. And that's when the real troubles begun...
Urban & Igor Swashbuckler
Urban - Knowledge | 5/5/9/5/1
Igor - Romance/Knowledge | 3/2/9/10/2 | Good Wizard
Swashbuckler is the best word to describe those guys. Nothing weird they decided to use that word as theirs surname after theirs hometown residents decided to no longer tolerater the unstoppable brawls, argues and mean tricks. As the best friends since kindergarden, Urban and Igor decided to start theirs own settlement, when people will have to live by THEIRS rules. How suprised they were, when, after two years of living under theirs regiment, the settlers kicked them out. Then they decided to be the settlers in another place. And another. And another.
Five towns later, Urban spotted an advertisement in the newspaper about a history research project in the place, where the magic aura is thick and tense. Friends agreed to try for the very last time to be part of build a city project.
Urban is kind of scientist, interested in both archeological and robotic research. He is more goal - oriented than his friend and has a soft spot for a wild, unpredictable side of the sims kind.
Igor, despite his constant hunger for affection and love, is a very shy guy. As a good wizard and a son of the one of the best surgeons of the SimNation, he wants to heal and help people. However, most of his methods are debatable.
Debi, Ebi & Javed Or
Debi - Pleasure/Popularity | 2/5/2/8/8 | Alien
Ebi - Family/Knowledge | 7/4/8/2/4
Javed - Family/Popularity | 4/6/4/3/8
Have you ever heard about The Restless Exploding Lama? No? If you did, you would recognise Javed in no time. It was that deadly handsome keyboard player. But that's what happens to the most hipster band of all times: nobody recognises the musicians.
Debi, the biggest fan of TREL and the president of the official TREL fanclub, made her sister, Ebi, attend one of theirs concerts and took her backstage to meet the band. Ebi met somebody more: her three-bolter.
Soon after the TREL's dissolving, Javed hit on idea of moving out into the inhabited forest. Where could he find more inspirations than in that magical place, where birds' trills wake you up in the morning and where you eat self-grown, organic food? He ignored Ebi's doubts and took his new family to Prof. Ekitz's camp.
In spite of her alien heritage, Debi loves SimEarth. She loves its nature, with plants and green leaves everywhere around. She loves its music, so full of emotions and life. She loves life and tries to get as much pleasure as she menages. At the moment, she focuses on her posters collection, but who know, what will come next?
Ebi, in her own opinion, is the most down-to-earth person in the whole New Advorton, focused on keeping her family alive despite Debi's and Javed's recklessness. She might make impression of cold and reserved sim... because it's who she is. Ebi likes children, vegetarian cuisine and colourful places.
Javed is much warmer than his wife. As the biggest hipster SimEarth has ever seen, he often tries to do things in the uncommon way. Music is his sense of life, the beginning and end of all things. Javed hopes to have a lot of children and is happy that Ebi takes a family life as seriously as he does.
Eleonora Auraio
Fortune/Romance | 5/7/1/8/4
Eleonora comes from old money. She could have vegetated on the factory's profits, but she wanted to get fame and prestige out of her own work. She entitled her cousin to run the workbench factory and left her house with a single sutcase, determinated to never come back.
Now, dog-poor and lonely in the endless forest, she can dedicate her life to her One True Hobby: art. She's working on the reconstruction of the painting techniques used by the SimKingdom masters. When she can't look at easel anymore, she makes Advorton-inspired pottery. Eleonora loves the historic aura of New Advorton and wouldn't change it for anything else.
Despite of her ambitions - or maybe because of them - Eleonora has problems with decision-making. Why should she chose between opportunities (and men), when she could try all of them?
Kadm & Kasi Torok
Kadm - Knowledge | 3/6/6/3/7
Kasi - Family | 7/3/6/3/6 | werewolf
The Toroks fend for themselves. They always did. They always had to. However, theirs extraordinary surviving skills were beaten by the authorities, who decided to build the dyke at the nearby river, what effected with deluging Toroks' family home. The sibling left without a single complain and found a small, new settlement near theirs old house. The people seemed nice, the idea of the research camp was graceful, so the Toroks decided to give it a try.
Kasi is used to fighting. The fangs and claws, which she gains at the nighttime, helps it a lot. Unlike most of the werewolves, she is a nice person and has no problems with finding friends and behaving in public. However, she knows what she wants and she won't hesitate to get it. Her hobbies include bee-keeping and making dishes with a row meat.
Kadm was always said to have a bright mind. Since he can remember, he had to think up a solution to the more subtle problems the sibling faced. As a little boy, he get famous as "a boy, who brought the armed gangster to give himself to the police". If he knew as much about manipulation as he knows now, he would made that men beg for mercy only by telling him three or four words. When Kadm has nothing to learn at the moment, he watches birds and dreams of meeting his own prince charming.
