The first chapter of my Sims 2 OWBC where we meet the generation one kids.

2. I don’t remember why I called this Chapter 0 back then, doesn’t make sense now but
that’s what they call wisdom with age I guess. Anyway, none of them had titles back
then so with only the Prologue and these next seven chapters, this was pretty short for
an OWBC.

3. As per my usual lightning quick updates, I bring you Chapter Zero in which we see that the
flamingo army has begun to multiply already. So what's in store for this chapter? Well the marriage
and the births of generation one for starters, and if there's space to get all the way to the heir poll.
I've added a few things since last time, I decided to go with the classic Boolprop naming scheme
since I have many Greek mythology names in mind, and some of my other choices for certain letters
like the triple O's in the naming scheme which have no link to Greek mythology...I just need a
name...
Ahem, moving on. I have purchased a community lot for Diamos but I'll have to see what I want to
do with that.

4. Diamos: I hope you don't mind the night wedding.
Maggie: Doesn't matter when, as long as I get to marry you.
Diamos: Aww, I love you.
A night wedding, how romantic. He wanted Count H to come so it was at night, and it
was the only time that it finally stopped raining too.

5. Arrilla: Who knew my son was a cake shover? How rude...
You ruined my shot Arrilla.
Arrilla is Dalen and Diamos's mother, in my NaNo she was a simple peasant girl who went into the
mountains one day to fetch some water and ended up falling in the icy stream. Ares, disguised as a
mortal named Aaron rescued her and they ended up falling in love. Soon after she wanted to marry
him, but Ares, enjoying his freedom, concocted a story that he had to go away on business in Athens
and would not be returning for a while. Some time later he sent a mortal to tell her that he had been
killed in Athens. After she got that news, she found out she was pregnant. Ares came to her in his real
form and told her that he would only be able to come see her and the babies at night and if she was
alone. He didn't want anyone to know that she was his consort. I just thought that some background
info was in order for her, since most of you have never read my NaNo or the role play where all this
was born.

6. Diamos: She's back paying attention to us again.
Maggie: I noticed.
I had to tell everyone who your mother was... :( Now get started on generation
one!!

7. I have the special event camera enabled so you don't get to see the demented purple
hearts...but it worked nevertheless.
Maggie: OF ALL THE GODS IN OLYMPUS!! THIS HURTS!!!
Diamos: ZZZ

8. And here is the first born of generation one: Bacchus. He has everything from Diamos
except his nose, that's Maggie's nose. Black hair, purple eyes and custom skin. Hmm,
perhaps his genes are going to be too dominant....
Diamos: Custom over rules defaults, you know that.
Yes...yes I do. I'm just gonna have to figure out a way to tell you two apart
now...and since babies are boring...

9. We get to the fun stuff. Toddlers. Little Bacchus, a Pisces, 9/8/7/2/9 is named after the Roman
equivalent of Dionysus is the God of Wine and Celebrations. Dionysus was a later edition to the
Twelve Olympian gods and his birth was somewhat unusual. Dionysus was the son of Zeus and a
mortal named Semele, Hera found out about the pregnancy and came to her disguised as an old
woman. Semele confided in her that her baby's father was Zeus but Hera pretended not to believe
her and planted the seeds of doubt in her mind. Semele soon demanded that Zeus reveal himself to
her in his god form, only thing was that no mortal can live after seeing a god undisguised...so
when he showed himself to her she did die, and he saved Dionysus by sewing him into his thigh.
Dionysus was born later, and is described as being "twice born".
So in other words, he'll be fun to play. :D

10. Diamos: So why am I out here?
I decided to use the Knowledge Lifetime benefit, Summon Aliens to get my
MOAR ALIENS challenge and since I found out that it always works, you get
to have the second pregnancy required for this challenge.
Diamos: So I have to give birth to green things?
Yesum. And make them cute would ya?

11. So it worked?
Diamos: Yep it worked my needs keep dropping like rocks but my throne
makes that all better.
Good. Now to wait...

12. Diamos: NOW I KNOW HOW MAGS FELT!!!
Men...think it all looks so easy. :P

13. Diamos: Can you hold her a sec?
Dee...is that a TWO new babies pop up I see?
Diamos: Just a sec...

14. Diamos: Another girl...let's put her down.
Dee...no.... *whine*

15. Damn...triplets...
Diamos: I'm sorry?
I think I can forgive you. And I see the custom genetics live on...I wanted a
green baby set with at least one having black eyes... *pouts* So now I have
three babies and toddler in the house and NO MAX MOTIVES!!! *faints* I see
my curse has returned..

16. Maggie: One more time?
Diamos: One more time.
Yes and ONLY one more time.

17. And it's birthday time again this time we got a four for. The triplets and Bacchus, at
least there will be one less whiny thing in the house for while. Unfortunately I didn't
take many pictures of the triplets as toddlers, and they are not going to be the Golden
Trio set, I just can't deal with that in the first generation. But anyway, he had two girls
and a boy. The girls, called Ophelia and Orchid are a Gemini and Virgo. Ophelia,
the Gemini, 0/10/10/0/10 she's a Serious, outgoing, active slob with ten nice points.
The alien in her shows with that personality for sure. And Orchid the Virgo
10/0/10/3/2 so she's neat, extremely shy, active, serious and mean...lovely girl. And
finally the only boy Orpheus is a Gemini also, 0/9/9/3/5 another slob...I despise slobs.
I'll give the background on Orpheus later on.

18. So much for my peace and quiet...here comes the last of the first generation.
Maggie: The last? Oh thank the gods!!
Or just thank me, whatever.

19. NOOOO!!!!!!
Maggie: Got to push out one more.
Why? Why me?
Yes...twins again...that once more makes six kids in the first generation. It must be my
curse...I can't have a nice normal three baby generation...

20. Anyway it was soon time for the triplets to make it to childhood so I only have to deal
with two toddlers now instead of five which suits me fine. I know it seems rushed but
this chapter alone represents a day and half of play time where I spent most of it just
trying to keep eight sims alive rather than take pictures. But I did take a nice one of
Orpheus to use though...

21. But first, the twins. In the prison stripes is Orion named after the Greek hunter, and Oleander since I couldn't
think of another O name for a girl.
Orion is an Aries 4/8/6/3/5 and Oleander is another Virgo 10/1/9/3/3.
Orion was the son of Poseidon and a mortal name Euryale and could walk on water because of his father. He
walked across the sea to the island of Chios where he got drunk and attacked Merope, the daughter of Oneopion
who was ruler there. In revenge for his daughter he blinded Orion and drove him away. Orion stumbled back to
Lemnos where Hephaestus has his forge. Hephaestus ordered his servant to take Orion to the far eastern point
where the sun god Helios healed him. Orion returned to Chios to punish Oenopion, but the king hid from Orion
and escaped his vengeance. Orion's next journey took him to Crete where he hunted with Artemis and her mother
Leto and in the course of the hunt threatened to kill every creature on Earth. Mother Earth would not let him do
such a thing so she sent a giant scorpion to kill him. It succeeded and Artemis and Leto asked Zeus to place him in
the sky as a constellation, as well as the scorpion which became the constellation Scorpio.

22. Smile Orpheus, it's your pic now.
Orpheus: Wow an individual pic!!
Orpheus was the son of Oeagrus, a Thracian king, and the muse Calliope. While he was living with his mother
and her eight sisters he met the god Apollo who gave him his lyre and taught him to play it. When he was older, he
travelled with Jason and his Argonauts on their journey and when they came to the island of the sirens, he played
louder and more beautifully than the bewitching songs of the sirens and drowned them out. One of the more well
known myths about him involves his beloved wife Eurydice, while they were fleeing from Aristaeus, a son of
Apollo, she ran into a nest of snakes who fatally bit her and killed her. Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so
mournfully that the nymphs and even the gods wept. On the advice of the gods, he travelled to the Underworld to
retrieve her from Hades and Persephone. His music moved the two of them so much that they allowed him to take
her back, on one condition. He couldn't look back to see if she was following him until they both got out of the
Underworld. Unfortunately, his anxiety got the better of him and he looked back, Eurydice vanished and he lost
her again.

23. Because I didn’t add it before, this is the flamingo army outside the house. It’s been so
long I can’t remember if this was during the first generation or after the second one. I
count 42 in this picture so maybe first and second generation? It will probably come back
to me later but for now it’s okay.

24. And here is where I'll end this chapter. The final pics of all the generation one kids will
be posted on Boolprop along with their stats, Aspirations and LTW's. This cute little pic
is a preview to next time, this is Hope, Dalen's daughter. Who her mother is and where
Dalen ended up is next time.
See ya!!
