Character bio
Born in the late 70s, Evan Manicotti seemed like the boy that would never totally grow up. Except, he did. And he got really into the 90s. He also was a specialist in weaponizing bizarre weapons that were inspired by 90s-era toys. His deadly yo-yos were especially notable. Right before he was abducted by SCALLOP - for witnessing and learning too much about the Phaletori - and put in suspended animation, Evan drove around in a 1998 GMC Sierra. He dubbed it "the Paula," named after Paula Cole. He also had the "Deana Stash" in it, named after Deana Carter, containing bottles of strawberry wine.

Phaelites were planning to unleash soon a museum exhibit with him at the center of it, surrounded in a room by various paraphernalia confiscated from his old family's home from Maplelawn Ave. in Wyoming, MI. This included a Batty the Bat Beanie Baby, a Fireball yo-yo, Nickelodeon Gak, Squeeze-Its, Surge, a poster for Mercury Rising, his truck, and anything else they could find.

One fateful day, he was freed from the time warp by Keet. He soon realized he was a living museum exhibit, dubbed the "Time Capsule," and that he'd been effectively frozen for 27 years! With nothing else to live for, he joins Keet's team. It's not long before he has them all singing Chumbawumba. With his new time dilator wand, he is able to make enemies forget which second it is, as he and his friends lay down the punishment.

Evan was captured by SCALLOP during the Beliah Amendment Enforcements, and he was sent to the SCALLOP Men's Containment Center. After Socratic and Jackal help Keet escape the women's center, they rescue Evan. He proceeds to assist Team Spaghetti Liberation in Italy and Mozambique. Evan can also be seen in one clip of Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims.

Trivia
Early work on this pack began around the same time as the main Phaemer Village Peacekeepers story itself was first inceived. Both were part of an online challenge: "If you could create your own version of Guardians of the Galaxy, how would you do it, and what would they be like?" As a nod to Marvel's 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy film, the PhVP were canonized to Cataclysmic Gerosha.

Evan "Time Capsule" Manicotti was the first to be interpreted in Sims 3, seen as an obvious choice as a stand-in for Star Lord. Instead of a Walkman, he'd have a Sony CD Man. He was taken from the year 1998 and transported to Phaeleel in 2025. Therefore, his entire persona was modeled after tropes and cultural memes from the late 1990s: a poster on one wall for Mercury Rising, his weapons being disguised as pogs and Brain yo-yos, his truck being a 1998 GMC Sierra dubbed "the Paula" in honor of Paula Cole, a Batty the Bat Beanie Baby (often portrayed with images of the same Batty toy used for portraying Blotto Sirens), a wardrobe / attire fit for Seinfeld, and a face resembling that of a younger Jack Black. Later, he names the PhVP's two ships the Meredith and the Nutter, as references to Meredith Brooks and Alice Nutter.

Next came the Slappy Squirrel-voiced Keet Kabo. While she'd share some wardrobe similarities with Gamora, Keet needed to be an entirely different character in the end. She has a soft spot for Evan as a friend and teammate, though she's not romantically attracted to him the way Gamora is to Star Lord in the MCU. She also takes over the role of leader. Keet was guaranteed to be the most difficult to adapt, since it was so hard to give beaks and tails to Sims. Her blue budgie theme was inspired by the Dozerfleet founder's mother at one point having pet budgie parakeets that looked similar.

An animal like Rocket Raccoon was guaranteed not going to be an easy thing to replicate nor justify in The Gerosha Chronicles, so DJ Jackal Semicolon was chosen as the next best thing. Titus "the Socratic" Rahmerthal was chosen due to the fact that he could be tall, strong, and imposing, but also gentle and thoughtful - making him a perfect Groot substitute. However, he was much more verbose than Groot in the MCU. His theme of looking like a statue of Socrates was inspired by a real life decorative miniature statue of Socrates. That finally left just the chili pepper-themed Bolte Chipotle, who serves as a Drax-like stand-in that relies more on biochemistry than brute strength to get his points across.

It wasn't too long after the initial team of five saw their archenemy Major Demerin Gosmerid get adapted as a Sim as well. Their top government ally, Chancellor Avori Namolil, also serves as a downloadable. In 2020, Keet's friend Tremia Vempule was added to the pack. Pillcenary, Strawcenary, and Slip-Sadie from Sodality: Vindication were also added as a final touch.
