Miranda Kanla (disambiguation)

Character bio
Shortimo is a scientist who believes that Meethlites should differentiate themselves from their Earth cousins by showing off their mastery of genetic engineering, something Earth is far behind on. Raised as an apprentice to a scientist who first discovered how to make Meethexos, Shortimo seeks to perfect what his mentor started. He actually becomes the first Meethlite to look like the Meethlites in later Gerosha works, after a successful experiment on himself. He immediately goes around trying to sell his inventions, but runs into trouble when the tyrannical new regime taking the throne of Zeras decides to be the highest bidder. When he refuses to sell to them, he is declared an outlaw. He manages to flee with most of his inventions and other things, but his graphite skin formula and Meethexo instructions end up in the hands of his enemies.

He ends up creating green-skinned Meethlites, and siding with them against the new graphite-skinned regime. However, the ensuing civil war does not end well for him and his friends. They are exiled to the world of Phaelon, which is then taken over aggressively by the regime and made a prison colony. Non-changed humans are enslaved, whereas the green-skinned residents are sent into hiding on their new world. Shortimo is eventually captured, and executed.

Personality
Shortimo is a 20th-century Modernist living centuries ahead of his time, and his optimism tends to get him in a lot of trouble. He is eccentric, burying himself in his work to the point that women are invisible to him. As such, he never marries nor has any children. He is devastated by how his innovations end up being used for evil, but refuses to give up his belief that his ideas can serve a good purpose in the universe.

Development
In February of 2013, it was decided that Shortimo would be the main protagonist of First Meethlites. The original draft in 2010 stated that "several Meethlite scientists" would create the distinct graphite skin that would later become part of what defined Meethlite civilization. However, it wasn't until the first bits of artwork were done that Shortimo's physique would be defined, or his role in the greater story.

Character bio
As Rise of the Phaelites is shelved at the moment, very little is known about Dephinol's personal history at this time. When the Enlightenment makes its way through nations on Earth, Metheel has colonized its twin planet Phaelon. However, Phaelon is no longer content to be a prison colony for Metheel. The Green Meethlites begin calling themselves "Phaelites," and begin believing they can do a better job at the unethical science their Meethlite masters engage in.

An endless war erupts, as the Phaelites refuse to be subservient any longer. They eventually get the world of Phaelon for themselves. Phaelite revolutionary Dephinol at one point matches swords with Meethlite loyalist Blazarik, his arch-rival. It is around the time this struggle has been going on for 130 years, however, that both Phaelites and Meethlites begin turning their attention to Earth. From there, the Phaelites begin creating experiments, and try to recruit the Phaelite Experiments' Offspring, or "Phexos," to their cause. The Meethlites vow to do the same, and forge "Meethexos" to battle their Phexo counterparts. While the Phaelites are able to form an alliance with the US government for protection, the Meethlites prove less sympathetic. They are instead forced to turn to organized crime. The division of Meethlites that go this route end up uniting under a leader with the surname of "Hebbleskin."

Development
Dephinol was given his name so that he would sound a little like "dolphin," implying a spirit that moves about freely and enjoys life and freedom. The "ph" in his name was also chosen to be consistent with the "ph" scheme in a lot of words related to Phaelites. It was not originally known what form Dephinol or his rival Blazarik would take. However, some free items from The Sims Exchange and some unused SimPoints meant a "George Washington-esque" outfit was available.

It was decided from there that Blazarik and Dephinol would be reworked from possible primitive warriors into 18th-century soldiers. The early Phaelon-Metheel War scene was then rewritten to resemble the American Revolution on another planet, with Dephinol placed in a role not unlike that of Mel Gibson's in The Patriot.

Character bio
Kicked Deer was born in 1627. She spent much of her life being tossed around from one tribe to the next, as none of them seemed to respect her ideas. Wars amongst tribes often led to her being bought and sold. She was eventually able to make her way to white society, which took pity on her. In 1656, she met a man named John Domeck while they were out in the woods. John's motives for being there were different from those of most white men she encountered. Over time, their conversations amused her to the point that she grew emotionally attached. John saw potential in her for his own mission in life, and the two quickly fell in love. In 1656, they are married formally. Their daughter Margaret is born four years later in 1660.

Rev. George Spellingworth helps the Domecks out with their quest to keep the Handler's Ruby out of Society of the Icy Finger hands. Kicked Deer becomes a schoolteacher to help the family provide income. However, the arrival of Jordan Smithson, a man working for Eric Sylvester, quickly spells trouble for the Domecks. Efforts to stop the Society begin falling apart when rumors spread that the Domecks are "heretics" who are practicing "witchcraft."

John and Kicked Deer retreat with Margaret into the woods, looking for a tribe that will accept them. Jordan returns to town and commits a few more murders, then convinces the townsfolk that John and his "witchcraft" are responsible. The town soon descends into civil war, as half want Jordan to pay for his slander and the other half believe him. The minister makes off with the Handler's Ruby in search of John, realizing that things have gone too far. The Society arrives in force in town, and spells out who they are. The townsfolk who hate John allow themselves to become members of the Society, not realizing that it has a satanic goal. The town soon goes into a lockdown, the despotic Society not allowing any but a few elect to go in or out. Eventually, the Society does get its hands on the Handler's Ruby. They use its power to track down the Domecks. Kicked Deer sacrifices herself in an attempt to let the others escape. However, a temporary Marlquaanite kills Fellerfang. This leaves John and Marge vulnerable. They are about to be executed on the beach, when a Marlquaanite storm erupts and sends them into the future.

Personality
Kicked Deer is a very gentle soul, one who is very slow to anger. However, she is not defenseless. She has a talent for persuading wolves to do her bidding. It is for this reason that she keeps Fellerfang as a pet wolf. She even trains Fellerfang to be loyal and loving to John. She can also move about quickly, and will ready resort to violence if she needs to in order to defend her loved ones and those entrusted to her. She was given the name "Kicked Deer" due to the irony of a deer that does the kicking of others being itself kicked. It was a diminutive name given to her by those who never expected her to succeed in life. However, she began wearing it as a badge of honor to prove wrong those in various tribes that once thought so little of her. She sees herself as being like Hurit, the "Indian Cinderella." She even comments to John that the Marlquaanite rubies could enable some of the old Indian myths of her youth to come true, to which John would tease back that part of why he wants to keep the rubies hidden is so that nobody will have the power to turn anyone else into a tree.

Development
Kicked Deer's creation was a work in progress almost from the moment that it was first announced in 2010 that there would be a story called A So-Called Heretic, built around telling the life and times of John Domeck before he became the Gray Champion. The fact that John had a half-Indian daughter named Marge as early-on as 2001 in development meant that Kicked Deer was implied to exist. However, it wasn't until 2012 that Marge's mother was given a name. It wasn't until 2010 that Kicked Deer was given a story to properly acknowledge her with. From there, she was modeled heavily on Disney's Pocahontas.

Her nickname was actually chosen to keep her name scheme consistent with that of Stung Hornet: two heroines from different time periods and cultures, neither of which was assumed to have any chance of amounting to much. While Kicked Deer failed to defeat the Icy Finger, it was through her that Mapacha was born. And Mapacha would prove the bane of many other villains. Also, due to her influence on John, he would later become the Gray Champion. This would lead to him electing Roy Bernald to become Gray Champion Next, his successor, who would defeat the Icy Finger once and for all. Likewise, Stung Hornet would not be able to bring down Captain Aardwulf by herself. But it was her kindness to Miriam Flippo that would allow the Chinese MSS and Sodality of Gerosha to come together and defeat him. This led to the Hebbleskin Gang being kicked out of China forever.

Powers

 * Weresalmon physiology: As an heir to the Sundue family's Phexo legacy going back to Akiak and his father via Phaelite experiments within the local Yellek-area Eskimo community, Izzy can do all the things that Akiak and his descendants could. As a specific type of merfolk like his parents, grandparents, and cousin; Izzy can transform when exposed to sufficient amounts of water into a salmon-themed quasi-merman.  The difference is that his legs never fully fuse to form a single tail.  He can also control his feet, to determine if fins spawn or not.  Oftentimes, he has special boots on that make it impractical to manifest fins.


 * Rapid accelerated healing: Activated while submerged or in a sufficient amount of water. Works even faster in saltwater, or in mer-form.


 * Extreme cold tolerance: Being in mer-form allows Izzy to tolerate the harsh winter temperatures of his frozen Canadian origin, thus allowing his under-dressed mer-form to perform especially well during his mission in the Soo Locks in spite November weather.


 * High jumping: From water and in mer-form, Izzy can gain enough momentum to jump almost as high off the ground as Jackrabbit.


 * Siren bellow: Izzy's bellowing can inspire dread in lesser enemies.


 * High salinity tolerance: Given his salmon-themed Phexo nature, Izzy can breathe in salt or freshwater. Saltwater also has little ill effect on him.

Meeting Kamohoalii
Main article: Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana

An old, bitter Paku leads a life of solitude in his hut, when his solitude is disrupted by the arrival of Isitoq "Izzy" Sundue - the current Anarteq. Izzy arrives with a flash drive full of codes stolen from the Icy Finger by Sodality Church spies, indicating various plans for Rappaccini's next wave of assaults.

However, SCALLOP needs to know which plans are the valid plans, and which one will be Rappaccini's first wave of attacks. The goal is to assemble a group of heroes - along with the National Guard and anyone else SCALLOP can muster - to intercept whatever it is that Rappaccini has planned. Knowing that Paku has a negative opinion of Darius and of SCALLOP in general, Darius sends Agent Tod Morbekad to bribe Izzy into making the journey to locate Paku's hut and persuade him to help out. As a reward for trying, SCALLOP would return the favor by releasing Izzy's cousin Jissika from the prison in Sault Ste. Marie that she was sent to after blundering her effort to protect an Abdygalis Shard from Wishpon. If he succeeds at interviewing Kamohoalii, Izzy will see his cousin released from SCALLOP Juvenile Containment Center - where she'd have been transferred to.

The two share some moments, discussing their histories and the general state of the Order. Afterward, Paku looks into the flash drive and deduces that the folder marked "Hoʻokipaʻo Nulu iā ia" ("Nulu sends his regards") is the one they should fear, as it is the only folder saying anything immediately coherent. Encrypted further is a file about "Kaiakahinali 2," roughly translating to "Second Great Flood." According to Paku, this indicates a reference to 2 Peter 3:10. Izzy inquires if Rappaccini intends to provoke Peter's Omninova into happening sooner, and Paku suggests that is unlikely. Peter's Omninova would require mastery of the 4th Spatial Dimension to evade the consequences of - something Rappaccini doesn't possess. Instead, Paku reasons that Rappaccini is using dramatic hyperbole to indicate a "great destruction of fire." The use of Hawaiian language to encode his messages is symbolic in that it invokes the idea that he will rain down "the wrath of Pele" on his chosen targets. Paku argues that "Nulu" is a misspelling of Nu'u - the distorted Hawaiian memory of Noah. The Second Great Flood is of lava rather than water, in which Rappaccini intends to send a herald who will be the Noah of Lava.

Since destroying the entire Earth would force Rappaccini into exile on Phaeleel or Metheel, they deem it unlikely he intends to cover the entire planet in lava - but bring it economically to its knees through a series of localized volcanic eruptions producing enough fallout to cause rapid climate change. In other words, several preexisting volcanoes will be detonated - and some new ones formed in key high-population areas. Therefore, what SCALLOP needs is for someone to figure out which cities are on Rappaccini's hit list.

They know it's only a matter of time; and Paku argues that they are in "the Time Before the Cinders Fall," which roughly translates to "Kahoopi li'ana." They need to discover which city will be at the heart of Project: Kaiakahinali, so that the band of heroes SCALLOP wants to recruit to aid the military with can intercept Rappaccini's herald before it's too late. Alas, they need more information from the Brummel family in order to know who that herald could be.

Character bio
Similar to that of Jeral Cormier (Cataclysmic Gerosha).

Abilities
His abilities vary according to which suit and equipment he carries as an agent or commander. However, in Extirpon mode, he is able to do all the same things as his Earth-G7.0 counterpart.

Percolation
Main article: Percolation (Gerosha Chronicles)

After Extirpon finds a way home, it's revealed to him that he's been cloned in secret by SHIELD. That way, a version of Extirpon can still exist in this divergent branch timeline themed after the Marvel Gaming Universe. However, in spite finding access to the Power Cosmic and being able to replicate his Marlquaanite original, the clone of Extirpon is hesitant to make full use of his mimicry of the original's power set, instead opting to become a faithful SHIELD agent.

Percolation: Legends
SHIELD and SCALLOP discover together that the Incursions have made the Percolation Wave itself unstable, leading to a possibility of the Marlquaan invading Earth-12131's offshoot timelines and destroying them. The Sodality of Gerosha legends are recruited to deal with this issue. However, their efforts to sever ties between the 12131 offshoots and G7.2.1 only result in one of the 12131 offshoots gaining clones of heroes from most of the Dozerfleet Megaverse - as well as clones of their enemies. Agent Opendi helps lead the team's transition.

Meanwhile, issues in the Savage Lands lead to Agent Opendi getting promoted to Commander Opendi. He must get his new teammates from the Sodality, SHIELD, and the Avengers to work together and thwart whatever they find down there. On top of this, he struggles with the fact that his original's future wife and son have been cloned into that world, leading him to feel obligated to close that arc by uniting with them at the expense of severing his ties with Omega Sentinel. This is on top of the fact that Sif still holds a grudge against him for rejecting her, whereas his original briefly dated her.

Team-up Bonuses

 * Sodality: Bonus for teaming up with any other member of the Sodalities of Gerosha or Florence.
 * Part of the Fleet: Dozerfleet Heroes.
 * Bloodlust: Any heroes that can cause bleeding.
 * Antihero: Any other hero with him and both are violent vigilantes.
 * Highway to Hell: Teams up with Ghost Rider, Damion Hellstrom, or any other character associated with damnation.

Appearances in other media
Marge was first depicted visually in full color in 2011, inside The Sims 3. A Sims 4 version of her followed in late 2014. However, her Sims 3 version was made into a sprite conceptual in January of 2016, to demonstrate her as a possible character in Marvel: Avengers Alliance. The Earth-G7.2.1 version of her is hosted on the MAA Fanfic Universe Wiki, and is said to be a clone inside Earth-12131 brought on by the Percolation Wave Event. This version of Marge is copied from just after the events in Vindication, and is pardoned just like Candi's clone. Since the clones allegedly reside in the Marvel Gaming Universe according to the fanfic, SHIELD rather than SCALLOP begins monitoring their activities.

Powers and weaknesses
Being a Leaper, Jack's abilities are limited to primarily those which enable him to jump really high and land without injury. The elasticity of his legs also allows him to generate a "bounce" when needed. His agility and love of stealth give him cat burglar-like maneuverability. Only in situations where he feels it absolutely necessary does he bother with wearing sunglasses and a hat with a jacket to obscure his identity. He is otherwise completely comfortable with being seen in his civilian form, deciding that it is useless to hide the fact that he is the Jackrabbit. His ability makes roof-hopping a lot easier than it would be for other members of the Sodality, as even Ciem has trouble jumping as high or being able to jump as far as he does without the need for a Zeran teleporter. He carries a Zeran wardrobe so he can switch out clothes if needed.

Like all Phexos, he is vulnerable to the drug known as Bezeetol. He can also be distracted by the sight of beautiful women, as he struggles to keep his sexual appetite under control. Jack may be very agile and clever, but he is not bulletproof. He often relies on other teammates to disable the armed villains first, before he goes in for his moves. He has few offensive maneuvers, preferring to serve as trickery and distraction. He can heal at a somewhat advanced rate, but he is not able to heal as fast as Ciem. Jack calculates his moves carefully, aware of his own vulnerability. He is also immune to most diseases, though not to the same extent as Candi. He is a master of seduction, and can charm others into giving him what he wants quite often. Due to his experiences growing up in Apacheland, he has some awareness of animals and some talent in being able to interpret their desires.

Early life
Jack was born to a family on an Apache reservation, often growing up using his Phexo abilities to cause mischief around town before the Phaelites arrived with an older Leaper named Harry Windel. Harry gave Jack a sense of purpose in life, and told him what he was given his abilities for. The two of them went on a tour of the country, occasionally foiling heists with their abilities. However, a botched assignment led to Harry being killed. Jack returned to the reservation. He had a tendency to be playful, but was not as playful as before he met Harry. Some worried he'd go his whole life never growing a sense of responsibility.

His antics mellowed a little when he got to high school, until he discovered that the gals at his school were very eager to take chances with him. Similarly to Marina Baret, he found himself eventually drowning in meaningless trysts and one-hour hookups. He reached a depression by his senior year; when he was able to get almost any girl to sleep with him - but not to love him. His luck changed the day Miranda Kanla from his tribe, a girl he hardly knew lived so close by, discovered him. He eventually seduced her too; but she didn't simply leave like the others. Instead, she developed a strong interest in Jack. She revealed that she was a part of the Wilbur Brocklyn "sodality" movement, and that he would be a perfect candidate for it.

Founding the Sodality
Jack and Miranda arrived at the University of Houston, near where Wilbur set up his mission church for Phexos and their families. Miranda counsels Jack frequently, as his facade of being carefree melts away - revealing that he is actually a very insecure being who feels guilty about what happened to his mentor. Miranda gets some close, trustworthy friends together with Jack and agrees that they should take Wilbur's "sodality" idea to the next step. They'd form a secret society to detect and sabotage Hebbleskin Gang-related activity.

The United States then disintegrates into four countries. The Ameristani regime, now run by the "president" Affadidah, aggressively campaigns for a jihad against the newly-formed nations of Toklisana and Chimerica. It forms a pact, however, with the Hebbleskin-run Netheel. An influx of Toklisanans betrayed and trapped behind Ameristani lines begin making their way to Toklisana to reclaim their freedom, with a war ready to happen at any time. The number of Phexos that manage to escape proves alarming to Duke Arfaas, who sends his top goons to do something about it. While Gunner and Skellig Soorfelt terrorize southern Indiana in search of targets, Don the Psycho is sent to the Houston area to inspect what spies believe to be a resistance movement forming. Don invites Wayne the Vampire to join him, as they go about raping and murdering college students for fun. Don's careful strategy results in him getting one of Miranda's friends to betray the fact that she's running a radio network from her dorm room. The friend is promptly killed before he can warn Miranda. Jack arrives to try to save Miranda, but is overpowered when he doesn't expect what the enhance Meethex Don can do. Don claims that Miranda will be kept prisoner until "the plan" unfolds, wherein which Jack will have the luxury of watching her die.

Jack manages to escape the goons that come after him, but is unable to save Miranda. He vows from that point on to both rescue Miranda and bring Don to justice. He is able to make contact with a man that Wilbur set him up with named Imaki Izuki, who promises him that new help is on the way. Jack and his few remaining friends set up shop in a different residence hall, vowing to add the Gerosha Phexos to their league once they are able. Jack decides that the team he will help found will represent the values of the fallen city of Gerosha, in defiance of all the Hebbleskin Gang stands for. Thus, his league would be called the "Sodality" of Gerosha.

Career as Jackrabbit
As the body count begins piling up throughout the first season of Sodality, Jack finds himself in a never-ending game of cat-and-mouse with Don and Wayne. His luck changes slightly, however, when he runs into Ciem also charging in to attack Don when Don terrorizes a local bar. The two have their arguments at first, but soon realize that they are on the same team and share very similar goals. A sort of attraction develops between the two, as they see a small part of their significant others in each other.

Jack agrees to work with Candi and Dolly, as the Hebbleskin Gang begins sending more and more-dangerous villains his way. The Sodality begins to form as a team. The developing team dynamic results in them eventually defeating Wayne the Vampire, and in getting Laurie Pegol to become part of their radio support team. Jack and his new teammates soon become a sort of family, to replace the families they either lost or else left behind. His one greatest regret was that during a mission gone wrong in which he and Candi both believed their significant others to be dead, he played on her pain and tried to convince her to go a little too far with him in receiving comfort. She only let him get so far, before telling him that she was unwilling to admit that Donte was dead.

The team eventually gains Botan the Plant-Man as a team member, and the need to defeat Milp after the murder of Darius Philippine results in Dolly becoming the Earwig. Defeating Milp, however, requires the extra assistance of Kyle "the Meerkat" Freneti and Charlotte "Mukade" Yamamura. Jack especially begins to look up to Kyle as a new role model. He eventually gets to rescue Miranda while Dolly frees Emeraldon (and by accident, the Sapphire King) from Duke Arfaas' doomsday ship. Ciem frees Jeraime Malestrom from the Musaran suit and AI backvisor, allowing him to regain control from his homicidal maniac alter-ego.

At this point, Jack does not back away from Sodality membership; nor does he go solo. He realizes that he is no longer the most powerful team member, but decides to keep the Sodality close since he was its first true Phexo member. He does allow teammates Emeraldon and Ciem to go into semi-retirement so they can get married. But before the Sodality can go into hiding, it ends up facing the threat of Captain Aardwulf. They get assistance defeating him from Black Rat and Stung Hornet of the Chinese MSS, who also team up with Steve McLaine and Candi's sister Miriam "Sniperbadger" Flippo. No sooner is that threat eliminated than they have to deal with Judge Terry Beliah. Laurie Pegol quits the team, and Miranda takes over Laurie's duties. Even worse for team morale, including Jack's, is when Celia defects to the Sapphire King's side. The quest to save Phexos and Marlquaanites from Beliah's schemes yields fruit in the form of several much-more-powerful new members to the Sodality: Pilltar, Strawberry, Navyrope, the Gray Champion, Mapacha, and Extirpon.

Jack ultimately stays behind when other Sodality members go their separate ways, becoming a sort of command central figure along with Miranda, Hea Pang and Lex Philippine. Even when the others feel content to resume solo careers; Jack and his three central command friends will be ready to call everyone back, should the world need the Sodality of Gerosha again. He does periodically visit his old home on the Apache reservation, however.

Battle for Metheel
Main article: Sodality: Battle for Metheel

In Sodality: Battle for Metheel, he becomes an essential figure in reuniting to Sodality to deal with King Morzhuk's plans to capture them all, a plan to make them trophies in the halls of the Zeran Palace as part of a greater scheme to rule the universe. Jack is the first to get a confession of the Meethlites' true motives behind the raids on Toklisana: namely, to capture the Legends and keep the Elites distracted. Jack later joins his teammates on Metheel to oversee Morzhuk's overthrow. He and the others soon return to their homes after the battle ends, assured that they helped bring an end to the Phaelon-Metheel War.

Honorary SCALLOP agent
Some time after the events in Battle for Metheel, Jack is made an honorary SCALLOP agent so that he can serve more effectively as a liaison between Sodality members and the organization. This is decided as necessary by Lex Philippine after Candi and Donte make clear they do not intent to return to being full-time members of the Founding/Houston Elite. It becomes Jack's job to oversee the committee at SCALLOP in charge of monitoring the Sodality specifically, as well as updating records on its membership and modalities comprising it. He is given two different suits: one for operating as leader of the Sodality and one for operating as a SCALLOP agent. Both are viewed as a considerable upgrade from the tank top, shorts, and sandals that had been his "uniform" all throughout his initial hero career - especially since they allow him more protection from bullets so he can take more risks in combat.

It is during this time that he and Miranda move to Houston permanently. They get married a short time after the move, with Wilbur both pressuring them to do so and conducting the ceremony for them. Lex ensures that Jack will always have a base to operate the Sodality from - as well as his SCALLOP functions. This arrangement works until Jack retires in 2043. When not busy working for SCALLOP or the Sodality, he found part time work as a sports announcer.

Personality
Jack deep down is often very hurt, longing to feel that his existence is justified. He feels guilty for not being able to save his mentor Harry from making a poor decision that led to death. When out for revenge, he can be defensive and angry. However, he tries in social settings to mask his pain by feigning a persona of a man who doesn't care much about anything or anyone. Miranda sees through him, and is able to convince him to let down his guard around her. He can be serious business when duty calls, but he likes to put on a charade that he is a foolish and irresponsible goofball. He tends to dress in sloppy clothing.

He also has a strong appetite for nightlife and women, an appetite only his love and sense of duty to Miranda seem able to curb. Before meeting her, he was described by many as a "natural flirt." He managed at one point or another to bed 32 different girls before meeting Miranda. He credits her with turning his life around. He finds himself strongly attracted to Candi, but she steers him back to Miranda when she decides she isn't willing to leave Donte for him. However, his past womanizing has earned him a bit of a reputation amongst his peers back at the tribe. The exact number of women he's been with is often exaggerated, to say that he'd been with hundreds.

He is also willing to work hard on a mission for his friends, but feigns a slacker persona in most other areas of life.

Development
Jack's appearance and persona were inspired by a variety of sources, ranging from Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite to Fez from That '70s Show to Taylor Lautner's role as the long-haired version of Jacob Black in Twilight. In some ways, Jack was intended to be the anti-Jacob. His initial role was in Ciem: Vigilante Centipede as an understudy of Imaki Izuki and best friend to Candi growing up. Instead of wanting her for himself from almost the beginning in a truly romantic way, Jack was fine most of the time with being friends with Candi. He eventually developed a crush on her, but it was based more on lust than romantic love. Also, rather than be cryptic about his motives like Jacob, Jack was always very open with Candi about what he intended to do with her. He does manage in Comprehensive Gerosha to seduce Candi, but she decides she wants Donte back when she learns she has the opportunity. Unlike Jacob, who protests Bella's decision to do so, Jack is all in favor of Candi returning to Donte. Candi helps Jack find a girlfriend to settle down with, pitying Jack as an irresponsible man.

The reimagining of Jack's personality and relationships with others for Sodality sought to acknowledge some of Jack's character flaws, while downplaying others. His relationship dynamic with Candi is made less aggressive and overtly sexual, opting instead for the two to see each other as "plan B" if they cannot rescue their significant others while remaining essentially chaste. He is shown to be using his outward appearance of a reckless player as a mask to hide his real feelings, whereas the Comprehensive Gerosha version was a genuinely irresponsible, skirt-chasing predator.

Jack is one of the first times that an Amerindian was intentionally made in The Sims 3 for purposes of concept art for The Gerosha Chronicles, his first draft being drawn in 2011. In 2012, Mapacha would become the second Amerindian character to be given such a treatment, followed by Kicked Deer in 2013. His inclusion in Comprehensive Gerosha allowed that version of Imaki to be given a slightly different origin story from all other incarnations, including some Apache in his heritage rather than being purely Japanese.

Overall, the Cataclysmic Gerosha version of Jack was intended to show a character who begins as immature and immoral, but develops into a respectable and proper hero - and eventual leader - over time. This version is also the first time that he is seen working on a genuine team as part of a team dynamic towards a worthwhile goal. This is as opposed to his Vigilante Centipede counterpart, who outside of merely protecting his hometown, essentially does nothing but waste his life. Team responsibilities mean a few changes for Jack. He begins dressing properly for the role over time, even though he was fine dressing sloppy when he mostly worked alone. He also occasionally takes measures to hide his identity. However, he never officially dons anything that could be deemed a "costume" in the same sense as Candi's Ciem outfit.

Reception
Public attitudes about the character as of September 3rd of 2012 have been fairly positive. In one Facebook poll, it was suggested that actor Avan Jogia would make a good candidate to play Jackrabbit. This was based on Avan's appearance for his role in the ABC Family series Twisted.

Abilities and equipment
Mallorie begins working as a sort of unofficial secretary at one of the Houston bases of SCALLOP some time after Lex is promoted to being the new director. She is skilled in organization, counseling, and communications. Like Wilbur Brocklyn, she often gives moral support to members of the Sodality of Gerosha in their time of need. But whereas Wilbur combines pragmatic and religious counseling, Mallorie focuses more on emotional support.

Mallorie is not a complete pushover either. Lex has her trained in the use of various firearms, just in case she ever has need to use one. When intruders attack her home one evening, it comes in handy. She is not physically very strong, and cannot handle hand-to-hand combat against physically-capable adversaries.

Sodality
Main article: Sodality (series) Mallorie was born to Roger and Hannah Wade in June of 2003. She grew up a spoiled child, but remained with as sweet demeanor in spite of it. Her parents were hard-line Baptists, though her personal beliefs later in life leaned more Lutheran. She was taught to be a very conservative, cautious individual. However, her intrigue with SCALLOP caused her parents some level of concern. These concerns escalated when she started dating a certain Lex Philippine, the son of SCALLOP director Darius Philippine.

In spite of their upbringings, Lex and Mallorie finally gave in to peer pressure on their senior prom night. Mallorie discovered herself to be pregnant about a month later. Her parents suspected the worst even before that, and demanded that Mallorie either break up with Lex or find other living arrangements. Mallorie opted to move in with Lex, though that was not the answer her parents hoped to hear.

Darius was surprisingly accepting of Mallorie into the Philippine family, not even seeming bothered by what she and Lex had done. They would later discover that Darius was embroiled in a scandal of his own that was far more serious - an affair that required him to put Dolly Malestrom in jail so that she could not learn about it through the AI inside the Earwig prototype suit's helmet. This same need for secrecy resulted in Darius making an under-the-table deal with Duke Arfaas, one which nearly allowed the Hebbleskins to destroy the main SCALLOP headquarters and limit SCALLOP's secure operations to the Chen.

Mallorie gives birth to her son, Silo Wade, right around the time that her half-aunt-in-law Candi is arrested in Ameristan on failure-to-appear charges. Mallorie finds work within SCALLOP, and balances that with her maternal duties. A month after giving birth, she and Lex become officially engaged. She assists the Sodality of Gerosha numerous times in any way she can, though she tries to avoid running afoul of SCALLOP agent Jim Oisdaat.

By the end of season 4 of Sodality, Mallorie and Lex begin planning their wedding. Mallorie moves out briefly, in keeping with Wilbur's anti-cohabitation policy. She weds Lex at Wilbur's Sodality Church two months later, finally able to morally move back in with Lex. Her parents decide enough time has gone by to forgive her high school indiscretions.

Mallorie eventually takes on a lesser role in both SCALLOP and the Sodality, content to maintain a low profile and focus her efforts on raising Silo. She does, however, complain in season 5 about the hypocrisy of the state in wishing to make SCALLOP less of a science establishment and even more of a militarized police force; all while locking up the Sodality in spite it having similar goals.

Centipede + 49
Main article: The Gerosha Chronicles: Centipede + 49

Mallorie accompanies Lex on briefing Candi on why she was made young again, and on how long it would take her to look her true age again. She also takes pride in her son Silo agreeing to assist John and Dana McArthur, as well as a grown-up Andy Baret, in efforts to protect Gerosha and Evansville while they are being rebuilt following the fall of the Affadidah regime and restoration of the United States in the 2050s.

Personality
Mallorie can be very sweet, and this influences her decision to offer counseling to members of the Sodality. She is nurturing to a T, and delights in parenting in spite the challenges this brings. However, she also realizes how dangerous a world she lives in. She is prepared at a moment's notice to strike dead any intruder that enters her home. When not helping out the Sodality nor SCALLOP, she likes to spend most of her time at home raising her son.

Personal losses
Apart from her family drama when she conceived Silo, the most tragic moment of Mallorie's life was witnessing the United States disintegrate in 2018 into four different countries. The massive political and social chaos that ensued had devastating shockwaves for the entire world, but often hit Mallorie personally due to the loss of friends brought on by war and corruption.

She had many friends who had moved to states which were then made a part of Ameristan - the land ruled by Halal Affadidah. Many of her guy pals from middle school were eviscerated, and many of her gal pals beheaded, by Affadidah's tyrannical regime.

Others moved to Chimerica - the west coast states that were then colonized by China so that mainland China would not lose out on its chance to collect some of the debt that was owed to it from decades of prior trade agreements. Some of her old friends in Chimerica found themselves working slave wages in factories. Most of Mallorie's friends that moved to states that the Hebbleskin Gang took over also didn't live to tell about it for very long. And a few of her Toklisanan friends living in Texas complained about how the climate of fear was turning Toklisana into a police state - only to be proven right as they disappeared from their homes.

Even so, Mallorie proves to be a cheerful spirit that refuses to be brought down by bad news.

SDCPM
In spite being very close to the girls in the Sodality of Gerosha, Mallorie is able to avoid the legal problems that afflict them. Aside from being kicked out of her parents' house upon conceiving Silo, Mallorie has managed to avoid serious trouble most of her life. As such, she has no SDCPM record. This makes her one of the few Sodality associates to never warrant the curiosity of SCALLOP personnel. While she, like Hea Pang and Charlotte Yamamura, has no formal arrest record; she is unique in her being so frequently involved with Sodality and somehow not even becoming a person of interest.

Storytelling
Lex Philippine in Gerosha Prime was originally going to grow up by the Ciem Tomorrow timeline to be a grumpy mentor to Dana McArthur, Candi's daughter. However, it was decided that Lex simply running Team Ciem with Dana and Andy "the Pitohui" Baret to rid Gerosha of the Phaletori didn't by-itself make Lex all that deep or interesting a character. So to make his personal quest more closely engaging, it was decided that the Phaletori would abduct someone very close to him and give him a reason that hit very close to the heart to want to see their whole organization undone.

In Classic Gerosha, a Townie from The Sims 2, given the default name of "Yvette Wade," was moved into Lex's home. A glitch in the game resulted in her and her son with Lex, Silo, disappearing from the game. This became a plot point: Yvette had been disappeared and Lex was determined to find her. He would then wish to learn the truth of what became of his girlfriend and son. She was to be alluded to briefly at the end of Ciem 3, and then mentioned in Ciem Tomorrow more frequently.

In Comprehensive Gerosha, the timeline of Yvette's disappearance was moved up to happen during the timeline of Ciem: Condemnation. Lex's determination with recovering her, and Darius' lack of concern, helps propel Lex to want to help Dolly in her quest to save Candi when Candi is captured by Lloyd Kolumn. Yvette was renamed to Mallorie for this version, a name that carried over into Cataclysmic Gerosha.

For Sodality, it was decided that Mallorie disappearing would be too redundant. There were too many other rescue plots going on: Candi saving Donte, Dolly saving Jeraime, Jack saving Miranda, and Jeral saving Emily. Mallorie was given a role at SCALLOP and as a housewife instead.

The Sims franchise
The original Mallorie (dubbed "Yvette") was auto-generated from random components in The Sims 2 around 2008-2009. The character received a name change and a complete facial re-design in 2010 and 2011 to feature in Ciem: Condemnation. Concept art for her was made in The Sims 3. In late 2014, a version of her was also rendered in The Sims 4, and made into a DLC file for distribution via DzMD. She was set to be included with Lex and other characters who were allied with the Sodality but not all of them actually members of it.

Model
On Monday, February 23rd of 2015 around 2:15 PM EST, amateur model Bailey Meagan Cole agreed to be the photographic face of Mallorie for the wiki. She joined a number of other models willing to portray other characters in works pertaining to The Gerosha Chronicles. Unlike most of those other models, whose modified stock photos came from DeviantArt, Bailey donated her image via Facebook. Her Mallorie shirt was modified from a red Meijer shirt. On May 27th, Toria Mason of DeviantArt took over the role of Mallorie on the wiki page images.

Powers, accessories, and weaknesses
Pilltar robots interact with the user via a shortwave radio and redundant satellite radio connection, one which is tied to a device not unlike a virtual reality machine, but which can process brainwave signals. Lambrelli Labs at one point worked with Dereck Johnson to develop a Marlquaanite bond for control modules. As a result, Lambrelli avatar robots are able to partially put the mind of a pilot inside of the machine. As such, Pilltar assumes the personality and fighting style of whoever is controlling his thoughts. Likewise, he is only as intelligent as his pilot.

A Pilltar robot comes standard with a silvery body, with a "Munchkin"-like size and body frame, with green-glowing eyes, various gadgets in its fingers, and some flight controls in its arms. They also have rocket-propelled feet and backpacks. Their backpacks, which create the "pillbug" look, also serve as fuel cell containers. The basic standard issue is able to interact best with a male-wired brain, primarily that of Seth Lambrelli.

However, it will interface with Stephanie Barrin in a pinch. Pilltars can take a lot of abuse, but are vulnerable to EMP. The feedback of an EMP blast can result in a cancellation of the link between a machine's "mind" and the pilot's, often also filling the pilot's mind with simulated death trauma.

For this reason, pilots on particularly dangerous missions are advised to block their left ears from being interfaced with the controls. There is some fear that a total interface going wrong could put the pilot into a coma.

Pilltars come equipped with multi-use tasers in their wrists, with a single-shot pistol in each index finger, and with welding torches in their hands which can come out of the ring finger. Their wrists also come equipped with knife blades for stabbing an opponent if necessary, or cutting through ropes. The upper arms and forearms also contain flight stabilizers, to aid their feet and backpacks with flight.

Pilltar
Main article: Pilltar (story)

At the beginning of this story, several Pilltars have been made. Seth begins storing them underneath his garage. He is seen working on the last in a series of 50 identical Pilltars when he is confronted by Stephanie for the first time ever, while she is reluctantly canvassing for her school's church. As the two become friends while discussing life and theology, Seth eventually inspires Stephanie to consider another career path not inspired (or even looked upon favorably) by her school: working for him as an understudy and eventual full-time employee of Lambrelli Labs.

Stephanie soon begins working for Seth, and the two put Pilltar to work as an experiment in "the future of neighborhood watch." Seth manages to foil a few murders, but finds an aggressive new cannibal cult in town and its leader to be a bit more than he was planning for. When cannibal cult leader Scott Morrisson figures out where Seth lives, he sends goons to the house. Seth manages to fight off the goons, but is badly injured. Stephanie takes over piloting Pilltar briefly, in an effort to get revenge on the cult members for hurting Seth. She has her father Ron guard Seth in the hospital, while also helping Seth get attached to a device from his hospital bed. Right as Stephanie's Pilltar is being trashed, Seth's Pilltar arrives and manages to kill off most of the cult members. After Seth recovers, Stephanie offers him several suggestions for ways to improve his Pilltars.

Pilltar 2
Main article: Pilltar 2 Stephanie's mother, Theresa, finally relents; and allows for Stephanie to work full time for Seth. Ron and Theresa both begin receiving counseling for their mental problems, and have disavowed Stephanie's school and the schoolgirls that went there. They also receive marriage counseling to put their marriage back together. As this is happening, a new terror threat reaches Des Moines: the Screwworm Network. Seth resumes control of his enhanced Pilltars to help deal with the threat and discover its origin.

He discovers that the Screwworm have an EMP device, which makes him particularly nervous. He also decides that one Pilltar on the scene isn't enough. He reveals to Stephanie that while she was away, he rewired and repainted a few Pilltar models to make them interface better with the mind of a female pilot. The "Strawberry" model debuts when stopping a terror attack at a rock concert, in which Seth and Stephanie were certain trouble would be afoot.

Things grow frightening when Seth realizes that the last encounter with Scott Morrisson resulted in Scott managing to steal the remains of two Pilltar units. An associate at Lambrelli Labs, Roger Homink, takes a Pilltar and controller against Seth's wishes. He reworks it to become a Japanese Beetle-themed machine dubbed "Ponicatar."

While Roger proves very bumbling at trying to handle Ponicatar, his antics in trying to pilot the reverse-engineered entity provide Seth with some much-needed backup for his active Pilltar when the situation grows dire. It also buys time for Stephanie to recover from the EMP blast that fried her active Strawberry, so she can deploy another one. Ponicatar ultimately doesn't last long, but manages to turn the tide in Pilltar and Strawberry's favor.

Pilltar 3
Main article: Pilltar 3

After Seth Lambrelli's passing, Stephanie begins training her father Ron how to become the new pilot for Pilltar. Ron is reluctant at first. However, Scott Morrisson returns. He has reconstructed a Pilltar of his own, making it into the more aggressive Stagtar. The collapse of America in 2018 results in Ron and Stephanie being among the first who can leave to Toklisana safely from the newly-formed Ameristan. However, they have to keep Ameristani regime guards from knowing that their cargo includes Pilltar robots.

The journey becomes increasingly perilous when Stagtar murders Theresa Barrin. He then proceeds to stalk Ron and Stephanie all the way across the border, putting their skills at operating Pilltar and Strawberry to the ultimate test.

Sodality
Main article: Sodality (series)

Defeating Stagtar on their way to freedom in Oklahoma exhausts Ron and Stephanie, and they resolve to take some time off from the Pilltar project in order to put their personal lives back together. However, Judge Terry Beliah eventually threatens their ability to remain at home. Ron and Stephanie take to piloting improved Pilltar and Strawberry models to help the Sodality of Gerosha overcome a common group of enemies. Lambrelli Labs becomes a sponsor of the Sodality from then-onward. They arrive before that to help out the team when Meerkat gets injured, filling in for him to free as many captives in Chimerica as possible until Meerkat is ready to return for the final battle.

After the grand battle, Ron and Stephanie begin selling highly-stripped-down versions of Pilltar and Strawberry to Neighborhood Watch organizations across Toklisana. They keep their major versions private for quite a long while, in case that extra power ever becomes needed again.

Battle for Metheel
Main article: Sodality: Battle for Metheel A slightly taller and more durability-minded version of Pilltar is introduced some time after Beliah's defeat.

In the video game pitch Battle for Metheel, the Mk. III version of Pilltar is put to the test to help the Sodality in overthrowing the evil King Morzhuk.

Ron Barrin resumes being the pilot. Due to its considerable ability to take more abuse than the previous models, the Mk. III becomes the new standard model. It is a tiny bit heavier than its predecessors, but proves to be more than worthwhile for use in combat situations. Altered versions of the Mk. II made to look more bug-like end up being licensed for use by neighborhood watch organizations and small town police. Lambrelli Labs becomes significantly profitable from said transactions.

Concept
The idea for creating another Gerosha Legends character arrived in September-October of 2010, while the Dozerfleet founder was still an intern at SWOCC Studios. Much of the inspiration for Pilltar came from an "E-News" segment for Ferris in Focus in the spring of 2010, one which hallmarked the enormous box office success of James Cameron's Avatar. The other major influence for Pilltar was Iron Man 2, which came out earlier that same year.

It was thought that the two inspirations could be combined. Since Ciem and Mukade alone meant that the Gerosha universe was crawling with centipedes, a different bug was needed as the new mascot. Beetles were considered, but only Stagtar was ultimately approved as a beetle-based robotic avatar. The other bug often seen under rotting logs near the Grand Ledge House besides Michigan garden centipedes were pillbugs; and a quick search revealed that few - if any - comic book characters up to that point were named after pill bugs.

There was also the thought of placing Stephanie in a situation where Seth could potentially come across looking creepy; but could be revealed to have been elaborately misunderstood as he was taking care of the real creeps that would have probably eaten Stephanie if given the chance. The first story also became a chance to have two characters pontificate on topics that few others in the Gerosha universe had much time or opportunity to be shown discussing in detail. The natural progression of developing story details from there led to the creation of all of Pilltar's derivatives: Ponicatar, Strawberry, and Stagtar. The current plot for Pilltar 2 is the result of a decision not to involve Extirpon as a deus ex machina, the way he would have been in an earlier draft of the plot. Also, the original plan of having Extirpon temporarily turn random civilians into an army of Pilltars to overwhelm the villain seemed rather cheap. Plans for that rendition were swept away completely when trailers for Iron Man 3 revealed that Tony Stark in that movie would be using JARVIS to remote-pilot a small army of Iron Man armors. It was decided that nobody would believe that the plot of Pilltar 2 came first, and was not worth fighting for. Ponicatar was created based on the term Popillia japonica, the taxonomical term for Japanese beetles.

Appearance
Pilltar and his derivatives were first depicted with UGO's HeroMachine 3 Alpha program in the spring of 2011, since it was not known how else to properly depict them. In late 2012 and early 2013, however, Pilltar's first-ever appearance in a Sims game occurred. Difficulty with rendering a credible Pilltar in The Sims 3 meant that The Sims 2 was pulled out of storage and used for Pilltar modeling. The model that was ultimately used was modified from a template nude Sim using a robot skin from Mod The Sims. An earlier rendition of that skin was used in the 2007 Ciem webcomic for the scene in which Classic Gerosha Merle Hourvitz met with Duke Arfaas on the campus of Viron University to discuss sending Musaran to assassinate Denny Levens. Two other Hebbleskin Gang servants in robotic suits similar to Musaran's, both using the custom robot skin, can clearly be seen sitting together in the snack room where Arfaas and Merle are meeting. These same two can also be seen wearing AI backvisors, of the type used for mind control by the Hebbleskin Gang.

With a few design modifications, Pilltar was able to look slightly deviated from the original skin. He was deviated even further for his Sodality render, with the Pilltar story logo turned into a chest symbol that would serve a function of indicating that the model was fully operational. Backpacks, the component of Pilltar that made him look most like a pillbug, were painted on in Photoshop CS2. The dwarfed size of Pilltar models is due to the stretchSkeleton cheat. These same design principles used for Pilltar would later be incorporated into the making of his derivatives.

For Sodality: Battle for Metheel, the Mk. III Pilltar was designed for the first time ever in The Sims 3. He was based on a heavily-modified skintone. However, getting the outfit that needed to be skintight and modifying it for him in Photoshop required use of a Teen Sim. This meant that even with Jonha's sliders for arm and leg length, Mk. III Pilltar still became the tallest version of Pilltar ever. The Battle for Metheel concept art front cover used forced perspective to shrink him in size.

Works

 * Cursed is the Ground
 * The Battle for Gerosha

Life in the Old South
Being the great-grandfather of Dwayne Lloyd, he led a similar legacy of terror as a serial rapist in the Old South. Negative stereotypes against single black men and mutes alike were often attributed to him having perpetuated said stereotypes. He became the boogeyman that KKK propagandists used in order to justify their own heinous actions.

Relocation
When there was too great a risk of being caught, he fled to Colorado - where it'd be harder for his exploits to draw attention. He became a serial killer when too many of his female targets began fighting back.

Execution
However, Wrikon's luck ran out when working the silver mines. Being wrongfully blamed for an accident in the mines, he was executed by angry townsfolk by locking him in a cabin and throwing beehives into the cabin at him until he was stung to death.

Family tree
Note: Most of this family tree applies across all versions of Sam Wrikon Gerosha mythos.

Explanation of tree

 * See that for his Earth-G1 counterpart.

Trivia
Unlike his previous iterations, this version of Sam Wrikon has no ties to Meshaluta. As such, he never became a supernatural monster upon his death.

Powers

 * Similar to those of his Earth-G1 counterpart.

Weaknesses

 * Similar to those of his Earth-G1 counterpart. In this timeline, it was part of a curse, leading to Dwayne Lloyd becoming another mute serial rapist and to the Flippo triplets' issues.  Later iterations of Gerosha continuity edit out this part, however.

A Miner Named Sam
Main article: A Miner Named Sam

Born in the deep south, Sam made his way westward. Sam Wrikon was a black silver miner in an all-white town of Applestream. He often had a stern, angry face, and almost never spoke a word to anyone. When a major accident occurred in the mines, he was accused by some of the miners of being responsible. He was punished by being thrown in a cabin on the outskirts of town, of which the previous resident had died of cholera. The one-room cabin was locked up and beehives were thrown through the windows.

Bees swarmed him and he died from excessive stings. The weather turned stormy as he died alone with his affliction of bees in the fall of 1892. Since then, the condemned cabin, could never be torn down. All who ventured inside the cabin for shelter returned claiming they’d seen the ghost of Honeybee Samuel, gazing at them menacingly. Demolition crews could never tear down the cabin. They would always meet either with mudslide or blizzard or and angry swarm of bees when they tried to tear down the cabin. Since his death, his spirit, bound to the evil ghost-hag Meshaluta; has also been bound to the cabin. His cabin is considered haunted and cursed by townsfolk.

Ciem / Vigilante Centipede
Main articles: Ciem (webcomic), Ciem: Vigilante Centipede

Honeybee Samuel is alluded to as being one of Candi's ancestors. Vigilante Centipede in particular explains how Sam Wrikon is part of Dwayne Lloyd's genealogy, and how both similarly inspired terror in their victims.

Family tree
Note: Most of this family tree applies across all versions of Sam Wrikon Gerosha mythos. The Cataclysmic Gerosha Flippos are referenced.

Explanation of tree

 * See that for his Earth-G1 counterpart.

Trivia

 * He is in every version an ancestor of Dwayne Lloyd, the namesake of a deadly "Dwayne Strain" STD virus that features in The Gray Champion: Freedom's Apparition.


 * All this also makes him an ancestor of Shalia Flippo, who is essential to all Ciem media and to The Battle for Gerosha.


 * Candi's self-control issues, especially around Donte, were initially explained as her having inherited a curse from Sam Wrikon.
 * Later, this was retconned to her problems being brought on by years of dealing with sexual harassment in school. Sam was made a nominal part of her history, reduced to being little more.


 * He became both a Marlquaanite ghost and a servant of Meshaluta in every version of the story prior to Cataclysmic Gerosha. After that, Meshaluta was no longer acknowledged as existing; thus eliminating her as an entity for him to have followed.

Dwayne Lloyd (Cataclysmic Gerosha)

Dwayne Markus Lloyd is a grand patriarch of the city of Gerosha in the Gerosha Chronicles. He is also the father of Shalia Flippo and the maternal grandfather of Candi Levens.

Early life
Dwayne was born to a very poor family, and was often mistreated in grade school. Over time, he discovered that he could retaliate through inducing fear in his victims, and discovered that he was very effective as using the pretense of sex as a way to instill fear in others. After committing several rapes, he was exiled from his home in Tennessee and fled to Boonville in Indiana.

Boonville
Dwayne made a halfway-descent living in Boonville, until his old habits as a sexual predator got the best of him. He tried unsuccessfully to rape a woman in town, and fled into the night. Fearing that he was recognized, he began wearing disguises and picking pockets to make a living.

Encounter with Marissa Hood
One evening, he was on the run from the law and had fled to the forests of Gerosha to evade capture. His predatory antics had turned even the Meethlites against him, leaving him a desperate fugitive after another botched attempt at a rape led to murder instead. He stumbled upon the home of Marissa Hood and took shelter in her house by force. He seized the opportunity, and raped her while he was there.

However, his violence in breaking into the house was an obvious clue to the squad that was chasing him. He was immediately captured, and then murdered in prison a short while later. While incarcerated, he seldom spoke a word, leaving much of his life a mystery.

Development
Originally, it was left out in the open how it is that Marissa Hood was a saintly woman, but had an illegitimate child in the form of Shalia. Dwayne as a character was created as a rapist figure so that the apparent contradiction could be reconciled; even while the question was answered of who Shalia's father was. Making him the great grandson of Honeybee Samuel was part of a syncretist effort to merge the Meshalutian Trilogy and Gerosha universe into a single narrative arc.

In Proto-Gerosha, the Hood family consisted of Marissa and Shalia plus three brothers, all of whom lived in the city park. Allegations by the writer's brother that this was "too potentially racist" prompted a change. Marissa was moved into a home, and the brothers were all killed off. Shalia was married off to Stan Flippo, a baseball player.

Gerosha Prime's Battle for Gerosha depicts a young Shalia living in the forests outside Craterville, with her single mom Marissa. It wasn't until the 2007 version of Ciem that Dwayne's role in the story was taken seriously. In Comprehensive Gerosha, Candi mentions him in her journal during the opening narrative. Dwayne is set to appear in the Comprehensive Gerosha version of The Battle for Gerosha, which is Issue #2 of the Flippo Clan Origins volume.

Birth
Marissa Harriet Hood was born as the daughter of Bombay resident Sadasheeva Cherupara and his wife Alexis Hood from the United States. Sadasheeva was murdered by bandits in India who were trying to revive the Thuggee traditions that the British had gone to great lengths to extinguish. In fear for her life, Alexis moved to Boonville, IN and gave birth to Marissa in 1912.

Sadasheeva was a target as much because he was Christian as because he was easy to overtake. Alexis, fearing that she wouldn't be accepted by other black women in town because she'd married someone from India, reverted to her maiden name of Hood, which her slave ancestors were named after they were freed. This was done to Alexis' family as an insult by those in the South who resented freedom being granted to Alexis and her family.

Exile
While Alexis never desired to marry again, her daughter Marissa looked forward to it. Marissa was one of the first to infiltrate the influence of Hebbleskins in Boonville, and call for an end to that influence. This led to some angry operatives murdering Marissa's mother Alexis.

The horror sent Marissa into a panic, where she fled to the forests outside Boonville and hid. Marissa became very skilled in the field of ministry and carpentry while she built for herself a cabin in the forests. She maintained a low profile to avoid drawing attention to herself from the Meethlites, and lived alone.

When interest began to form from Boonville proper concerning building on territory in what would become known as Gerosha, Marissa served as a Sunday School teacher for a local black congregation. She used some of the money she earned doing random chores for others to purchase for herself a small car, a 1929 model.

Encounter with Dwayne Lloyd
In February of 1957, Marissa's house was invaded by a fugitive named Dwayne Lloyd. He tried to hide from law enforcement after committing a murder in town. He believed that he could hide from them inside Marissa's cabin. While Marissa was bathing, Dwayne violently broke down the front door and fled into Marissa's bedroom. Once he heard screams from the bathroom, he broke into it and grabbed hold of Marissa, dragging her to the bed.

Dwayne seized the moment and raped Marissa, leaving her utterly distraught and cold as the air from outside blew into the house freely. Law enforcement arrived, helping Marissa back on her feet and hauling Dwayne off to prison. A few weeks later, Dwayne would be murdered in prison by an inmate with a shank. Marissa was sent to live with a friend while that friend's brother rebuilt damage done to the cabin by Dwayne and also installed improved electrical work and plumbing to the house.

Shalia
Marissa never gave up her determination to bring the few forest dwellers ever closer to God. However, her main congregation moved closer to Boonville's city limits. The church soon discovered that, in spite her being 43 at the time of her encounter with Dwayne, she had become pregnant. Officials of the board at the congregation decided that Marissa was no longer a good influence as a Sunday School teacher, even though it was not her decision to be with child. The board members, a few of whom were secretly befriending Hebbleskins, began to confuse the congregation about the nature of Marissa's pregnancy, claiming that Marissa had been sleeping around. A few were exposed as Meethlite sympathizers after being kicked out of the church for going so far as to pressure Marissa to have an abortion.

Outraged and defiant, Marissa joined another congregation, and vowed to make sure that her child was born healthy. She gave birth to Shalia Hood on October 3rd of 1957. Marissa lived with Shalia in the Hood Cottage for several more years, raising Shalia to become a very staunch believer of the family faith and to be devoted to making Boonville a role model town.

The Treasure of Henry Lohtz
As Marissa and Shalia grew up in their forest cottage, they began to discover clues to the legendary Henry Lohtz, a pirate of untold wealth. Rumor had it that Henry's most prized possession was a seashell dubbed the "Gerosha Stone," whom Lohtz had used as his pirate symbol. Whoever could find the Gerosha Stone could find the treasure, and turn it in to become a multi-billionaire! Marissa never strayed too far from town, but Shalia made it one of her personal goals to discover the treasure of Henry Lohtz.

In Shalia's mind, the key to making Boonville great included incorporating it as a city proper, to help it contrast with the decadence of Hebbleskin influence moving in. A small amount of the money Shalia was to inherit if she found Lohtz' treasure would be used to found Gerosha as a city, and building could commence.

Death
Marissa eventually became ill when she neared her sixties. Aging rapidly, she supervised her daughter's courtship of fellow treasure hunter Stan Flippo. Marissa used her knowledge of carpentry to assist Stan in building his own cabin across the street from hers. Stan had come to Marissa's door after his adoptive father, Tobey Flippo, had died of old age and left Stan an orphan. Marissa initially considered adopting Stan, but decided against it when she noticed that Shalia took a peculiar liking to Stan. Marissa then made it her goal to help the couple find the treasure of Lohtz, but was too weak and sick.

Finally, a month before Stan and Shalia eloped in the forests of Gerosha, Marissa drew her last breath. Stan helped Shalia construct a makeshift grave for her, and the couple set out to find Lohtz's treasure. After doing so, the couple had a formal ceremony with a few friends invited. Stan and Shalia Flippo began making their dreams come true of founding Gerosha as a city and taking on their career ambitions. Shalia went into local politics, while Stan became ambitious about minor league baseball. Their common value, learned from Marissa, was to in all things live beneath their means. They made it their goal not to squander their wealth, but to use their wealth sparingly and to earn a living in addition to it.

Using some of the money from founding Lohtz's treasure, Stan and Shalia established the Gerosha Cemetery. Here, the tombs of Dwayne Lloyd, Alison Flippo, Tobey Flippo, and Steve McNolan were laid. Marissa's body was moved from behind her cabin to an appropriate spot in the center of the Gerosha Cemetery.

Development of character
Marissa was first depicted as being Shalia's mother in The Sims Deluxe Edition back in 2004. She was part of the Hood family that lived in the city park. She lived there with Shalia and three brothers. Over time, the brothers were dropped from the story and Marissa went from the grouchy and immoral curmudgeon depicted in The Sims to the kind, sweet, beautiful girl that she is depicted as in The Battle for Gerosha.

Shalia also acquired these and other conservative values, though she was initially depicted as a rebel in the original TS1. Her marriage to Stan and acquisition of Reily as a son with Stan were first established in TS1, as being her way to escape living with her mother. This was changed to Shalia marrying Stan after Marissa's death so that she could be supported, and then giving birth afterward to Reily.

Marissa's granddaughters, Erin, Candi, Miriam, and Marina; didn't arrive until the 2005 version of The Battle for Gerosha. Neither did her grandsons Mike and Jeff, nor Tom, arrive until then.

Trivia

 * Marissa's middle name, Harriet, is a reference to Harriet Tubman.

Personality

 * Similar to that of his Earth-G3.1 counterpart.

Trivia
Stan was going to get a remake done of The Battle for Gerosha, to tell his story apart from Candi's. However, the hardware crashing that destroyed the unfinished 2006 Ciem webcomic also led to the demise of that planned Battle for Gerosha remake.

Abilities
Similar to those of his Earth-G3.1 counterpart.

Character bio
The opening text of Ciem suggests that Stan saw "miraculous events" in his day. Otherwise, the generic description given focuses primarily on the aftermath of his death. Unless otherwise noted, it is to be reasoned that this Stan Flippo's life narrative was similar to that of his Gerosha Prime counterpart.

Personality
Similar to that of his Earth-G3.1 counterpart.

Trivia

 * It was primarily the decision to fix some issues with how Candi interacted with Denny Levens and with Don Mendoza that prompted the need to start making distinctions between this Stan's universe and those of his previous incarnations.
 * Before that, it was merely one general concept of Stan, with several retcons.
 * Given the fact that Stan was made here the same way (with The Sims 2) as his prior incarnations, his life story here deviates very little from how it was told in prior incarnations.
 * Stan Flippo as a concept would not see a dramatic overhaul until Cataclysmic Gerosha.
 * As the number of children Stan had became more focused around forging a good narrative and less around preserving the nostalgia of Stan Prime, each incarnation of Stan after Gerosha Prime had fewer and fewer children.
 * Stan Prime had Ploribus, Reily, Mike, Jeff, Jason, Tanya, Vince, Candi, Miriam, and Marina, biologically.
 * By Despair Gerosha, Jason and Tanya had been written out, and Vince's name was changed to Tom.
 * By Classic Gerosha, Mike and Jeff were no longer major story contributors, and were only still in the story by technicality. Of Candi's "missing siblings," only Tom makes a cameo appearance.
 * By Comprehensive Gerosha; Mike, Jeff, and Tom were also written out. Ploribus had his name changed to Darius.
 * Marina was almost written out of Cataclysmic Gerosha, making Candi and Miriam twins rather than triplets. She was preserved only due to the need for Andy Baret to exist for the future timeline.

Abilities

Character bio
Similar to that of his Earth-G7 counterpart. All ideas initially set up for this Stan, were eventually transferred and amended for that latter continuity.

Trivia
Stan was initially going to get his own Battle for Gerosha novella in the Comprehensive Gerosha timeline. That was scrapped in favor of the Cataclysmic Gerosha version.

Abilities

Battle for Metheel
Main article: Sodality: Battle for Metheel

Wilfredo attempts to protect his father from MPF generators placed by Morzhuk's forces, long enough for Dolly to disable them.

Abilities
Stan was a talented baseball player and a careful investor, as shown by his coming up with money to build the Triangulum. He was also somewhat skilled at making friends and connections, as he needed them to reunite with Shalia after the Hebbleskins separated them.

While Stan had the Phexo gene sequence for a Centhuen Prototype inside him, it never activated. Candi got the activated sequence instead.

The Battle for Gerosha
Stan was born alone in the woods to one Alison Flippo, and later raised by Tobey Flippo. Following Tobey's death, and the death of Marissa Hood, Stan married Marissa's daughter Shalia.

The two had a child named Reily. However, the Hebbleskin Gang soon sought to make Stan's life as difficult as possible. After Reily was kidnapped, and the Hebbleskins began infiltrating the local police force, Stan and Shalia had to flee town to gather some more friends.

Stan was nearly framed for stealing a wardrobe, and Shalia nearly framed for murder. The couple are eventually reunited after their town is reclaimed, and rebuild Craterville as Gerosha. The two of them adopt Erin Wyer after getting Reily back, and have several more children. Both of them, in their old age, die of cancer, and are buried next to each other. Their mansion, the Triangulum, becomes a major landmark in the town's history.

Ciem
Near the very beginning of Ciem, it's revealed to Candi that Stan's parents were required to let Phaelites secretly engage in experiments on Stan in exchange for their safety from the Hebbleskin Gang - which has returned. Therefore, Candi has become the prophesied "Gifted Flippo," who activated the Centhuen Prototype sequence and now has abilities themed after a centipede.

Stan's sequence never activated, allowing him to live life as an ordinary man. Candi's centilegs manifest shortly after news of Erin having been murdered, freaking out her foster family. She flees into exile in Dirbine afterward, and later marries Denny Levens - who has a way to help her hide the pores her centilegs come out of.

Personality
Stan is often selfless, but at times naive. He also feels a strong sense of responsibility; and a yearning to make things right when they go wrong. He is absolutely dedicated to Shalia. When not in the midst of all this, he is a treasure hunter and a schemer. He loves DIY projects and baseball - true to his Proto Gerosha counterpart.

Trivia

 * Stan not only had his regular biological children with Shalia, and was not only infused with Grandma Centipede by the Phaelite Society of Earth; but was also the genetic template for Ploribus. However, this explanation was retconned in later.
 * In original gameplay in The Sims 2, Stan was abducted by aliens and became alien-pregnant.
 * Ploribus was rapidly aged up with cheats, to move him out of Stan and Shalia's lot in-game and make room for other characters. Therefore, baby Stan being used by the PSE as a genetic template for Insila's child was retconned into the story as another way of explaining how Stan and Ploribus can be relatively close in age, yet still have a father-son relationship of sorts.
 * Since the Phaelite Society of Earth was torn up with rivaling factions within, and some of them were morally dubious to begin with, having them perform cloning experiments that seemed to border on pedophilia was still seen as preferable to the complete gender-bending, biology-violating male pregnancy mechanic employed in Sims 2. It demonstrated that not everyone fighting on Stan and Shalia's side was necessarily good in and of themselves; just preferable to the Hebbleskins.


 * Stan and Shalia having Reily was seen as an almost mandatory development, in keeping with them having Reily in Proto Gerosha. The lack of a Reily in Test Gerosha was deemed insignificant.  Continuity distinctions weren't as emphasized in 2005 as they were in later years.
 * However, Stan in The Sims 2 in the original run had the Family Aspiration. To fulfill this aspiration, he needed to have 10 children.  Hence, why he and Shalia had so many children that were initially canonized into Gerosha mythos.
 * However, the game didn't count Ploribus as a proper child of Stan's, since he had Ploribus via alien abduction rather than via Shalia. The game also didn't count Erin, since she was adopted.  Therefore, according to the overly context-smart Family Aspiration trait, Stan never fulfilled his goal due to technicalities, stopping at only 9 children via Shalia.
 * Many of the early children's looks are off, due to the way Sims 2 assigned skintone genetics. Instead of a middle brown appearance for Stan and Shalia's kids, they were all either as dark as their mom or as light as their dad, with no in-between.
 * Candi and Miriam were twins in the original Sims 2 gameplay, since triplets weren't possible without mods. Marina being a triplet third sister in the set was fudged into continuity.


 * In-story, cancer claims Stan's life. In reality, it was player frustration leading to death cheats, as Stan technically now had 11 children legally, and the game still didn't count his aspiration as being fulfilled.

Taxonomy
In Europe, Pachymerium ferrugineum was the most common species used for the experiments. Scolopendra subspinipes japonica was utilized in Japan. But for the rest of the world, the overall most common genus utilized was the lithobius. The two most common species were lithobius forficatus and lithobius variegatus. In North America, forficatus was the most prevalent species used in experiments.

Marlquaan bonds
A test subject human's DNA was bonded indirectly to the Marlquaan, making them and their descendants indirect Marlquaanites distinct from their True Marlquaanite counterparts:


 * With the indirect bond, subjects became more powerful than an ordinary human; but were still far weaker in general than most true Marlquaanites.
 * However, True Marlquaanites needed to pass their bond or copy it directly to another, in order to continue their legacies to another generation. Direct bonds don't automatically copy during reproduction, leaving the individual with unpowered children.
 * Indirects via DNA, however, would produce an automatic copy Marlquaan bond whenever they reproduced naturally.

By mixing the precise indirect Marlquaan bond with centipede DNA, Phaelite scientists were able to make their subjects' DNA capable of producing children that - should their powers manifest - would have superhuman capabilities and physiology. If a True Centhuen, they'd become monstrous hybrid creatures. The supernatural-esque advanced healing factor would be gone; but they'd have powerful body armor. They'd be slower intellectually, and more animal-like than human. However, they'd have multiple arms and be brutal warriors.

Centhuen Prototypes could have an advanced healing factor, almost instantaneous healing in some cases. But this would come at the price of not developing strong body armor. They would retain most of their humanity, and would become very similar to a Totemic Avatar Mutate in Marvel mythology. The difference is that centipedes rather than spiders would be used as a base.

Process
A Grandma Centipede would have her DNA extracted, and infused in the Centhuen Prototype (or later, True Centhuen) program by a Phaelite scientist. The test subject, usually a human infant, would grow up with the potential that one of said child's future children would somehow activate the sequence through a stress trigger in adolescence. Said "grandchild" of the centipede used for DNA extraction would then become either a Centhuen Prototype or True Centhuen in full.

"Grandchildren" who somehow never set off the "trigger," or else who developed abilities irregularly, would be deemed "Inactives." Any of the Inactives' future children could become an Active at any time. Any Active's future children would automatically activate upon adolescence.

Politics and economics
Come 1998, divides on what the Phaelite Society's true purpose was led to a rift in the organization. The rogues, becoming more in keeping with a Hebbbleskin worldview - but abhorring their Meethlite-ism and involvement in sex trafficking - broke off and became a terrorist mad scientist cult dubbed the "Phaletori." The Phaletori strongly believed in pursuing the True Centhuen program to its full manifestation, in spite the drawbacks. The main Phaelite Society, now dubbed the Security-Centric Alliance Lending and Learning Of Phaelites, believed that Centhuen Prototypes - who retained more of their humanity - were more worth settling for. This issue was by no means the only one causing the rift.

However, a lost and confused Evan Manicotti stumbled upon evidence of way too much goings-on related to the SCALLOP-Phaletori schism, and was captured for knowing too much. He was then made into an exhibit on Phaeleel, in a museum near Dephinapolis. Artifacts of his entire life were included, along with numerous 1990s nostalgia.

With the passing of the Kirby Act, utilization of Grandma Centipedes was outlawed. Manifested Actives of a centipede's "grandchildren" were allowed to reproduce, but were often subjected to lifelong, often unannounced probationary terms - which could be revoked at any time, for any or no reason. This sparked numerous human rights debates. The most frequently cited victims of this human rights abuse would be in the cases of Candi McArthur and Michelle Winston, whose prison terms were deemed unfair by a large portion of the public.

Examples

 * Stan's centipede is the most commonly-cited example of a "Grandma Centipede." This is the centipede used on Stan Flippo to produce Candi and her abilities.  This is canon to the entire Gerosha multiverse post-Proto Gerosha.


 * Charlie's centipede is the centipede used on Charles Hammerstein's father to produce Centipede Charlie. The utilization of Centipede Charlie in battle in the Japanese theater of war in World War II inspired the later utilization of Stan's centipede.


 * A mukade was used on Charlotte's father, leading to her becoming "Mukade" later in life.


 * A ferrugineum centipede was used on Michhelle's father, leading to her becoming "Feruga" later in life. Before making her Feruga identity distinct, Michelle briefly filled in for Candi as Ciem at one point.

Similar experiments

 * The Hebbleskins utilized "Grandma Millipedes" in this way to produce Milthuens and Milthuen Prototypes, but this was nowhere near as successful. Milp is a prime example of a rare success story.


 * Salmon were used by the Phaelite Society to experiment on Inuit test subjects, leading to the Sundue family becoming the line of several avatars of Anarteq - mostly male.

Character bio
Candi resisted fighting back against his taunts and bullying, only to protect her secret from being leaked to the Hebbleskin Gang. Eventually, his temper leads him into all sorts of trouble and even death. He appears briefly in Ciem, before vanishing from the scene entirely.

Pete was a second-hand troublemaker, spreading rumors about Candi's behavior on the Viron campus that were based entirely on age and college choice profiling. In this manner, Pete himself did not even reach these conclusions, but acted in the interests of Nolle Barret.

Personality
Pete is an ill-tempered bully, who formerly attended the Viron Community Church with Candi and made her life miserable while she was enduring emotional turmoil over her feelings for Donte.

Development
Pete was generated with the Tombstone of Life and Death debugging object in The Sims 2, and was kept around only to provide an antagonist for chapter 15 of Ciem. This went along with the fact that in Despair Gerosha Ciem, the narration suggests that there were some at Wilbur's church who made Candi feel unwelcome. It was not known at the time that all versions of the story would be factored in as separate continuities to be logged in their own right. Instead, Classic Gerosha Ciem was at the time going to be little more than an overwrite of Despair Gerosha Ciem.

Only one Gerosha universe was to be acknowledged at the time before Comprehensive Gerosha introduced the multiverse structure. Therefore, Pete's role in chapter 15 was to take the events alluded to in Despair Ciem and make them explicitly canon. The idea was that the rude and insensitive members like Pete and Nolle Barret would drive Candi away, causing her to stumble amidst her hurt feelings and become the very thing they accused her of being, as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy that would haunt Candi later on.

While that plot device made sense in Despair Gerosha given how Candi reacted, it made little sense in Classic Gerosha as Candi retained her virginity until her wedding day. It made even less sense in Comprehensive Gerosha, where that Candi couldn't deny the allegations of "sluttiness" being made by Pete as they somewhat already were true. With Evansville destroyed in Cataclysmic Gerosha, it became clear Pete would not be returning for Sodality. It has not been ruled out that a future villain for that show could be modeled after him.

Character biography
Nolle is one of many women, including Mehrissa, that has often sat near the back of Viron Community Church. They eventually become the target of implication in some of Wilbur Brocklyn's sermons, when he realizes that their influence begins discouraging 20-something women in the Viron area from attending. Their assumptions about Candi in particular are based entirely on the fact that so many bad rumors are going around about Viron University women of Candi's age. By keeping the rumor mills going, Nolle leads the charge in complicating Candi's spiritual life by making her feel uncomfortable going to church.

Despair Gerosha
Nolle was never named in this version, but was one of several "old ladies" that were doing significant damage to Candi's reputation in the neighborhood. Candi's despair over her situation leads her to begin to attend church only rarely, to avoid having to explain herself to everyone. This only leads to Candi feeling even more alone and abandoned, with only Denny and Donte in her life to keep her from feeling her life is truly hopeless. However, the fact that everyone already assumes the worst of her reputation causes Candi to not care as much about her actual behavior. It is in this frame of mind, after saving Denny from a Meethlite's attempt on Denny's life in the park, that Candi agrees to go home with Denny. This leads the two into their fateful night on the couch, in which Candi conceives Angie. She doesn't find out until a month or two later that she is pregnant, and it leads to her giving up on Donte and marrying Denny in what amounts to a shotgun wedding.

Ciem
Main article: Ciem (webcomic)

Candi loses the opportunity to be a Sunday school teacher after Nolle causes enough doubts about the integrity of Candi's personal character that the board at the church decides Candi is too much of a bad influence on children. This is in spite the fact that Candi is popular with the children at church.

After Nolle's assault, Candi has a vision of Kimiyato taunting her in the back fields behind church. This is also shortly before Candi loses her job at the Hazy Eighties Bowling Alley when Victor Nanale has it torn down. Nolle vanishes from the scene for a time. Her influence, along with that of co-conspirator Mehrissa, leaves Candi to face verbal abuse and public humiliation from Pete the Shouter.

Wilbur finds out about what is happening, and even about rumors being spread concerning Candi's marriage to Denny. He uses a controversial "Would You Kill Mary?" sermon on the Christmas Eve service to criticize his congregation for tolerating Nolle and Pete's abuses. Nolle and Pete are never seen at the church again after that.

Ciem 3
Main article: Ciem 3

Candi's confessing to Nolle's role in complicating Candi's life becomes something everyone soon regrets. Dolly, often tempted to hold grudges against those who harm her loved ones, begins harboring resentment for Nolle. This undertone of resentment mushrooms into full-blown hatred after Dolly steals the Earwig suit. She at one point goes into an apartment building to rescue its residents, only discover that Nolle is a resident there also. Dolly knocks her to the ground, berates Nolle for what she did to Candi, and then abandons her to die in the fire. After removing the Earwig helmet some time later, she begins to realize that the helmet is turning her into a cold-blooded killer; and vows to destroy it once she has saved Candi's life.

Ciem: Vigilante Centipede
Main article: Ciem: Vigilante Centipede

Nolle is given very little attention in this version. However, her actions are given a slightly better excuse. Her e-mail is flooded with pornographic spam, each depicting the same video of an imposter disguised as Candi engaging in sex acts with members of Viron University's football team. The all-female blackmail ring responsible for this video had also sent Wayne the Vampire to rape Candi, unsuccessfully. Candi goes out of her way to punish the blackmail ring before they claim any more victims; especially after preventing a blonde teenager whom they'd victimized from committing suicide. Alas, her efforts to punish them are frustrated at every turn. The police become unusually apathetic, stubbornly ignoring Candi's concerns even with the evidence mounting. Her attempt to break into their cabin and punish them while wearing a primitive Ciem outfit ends in disaster when a rival gang shows up with heavy machine gun fire and blows the girls away. Candi barely escapes avoiding detection.

Nolle's influence on Candi's willingness to sleep with Denny is toned down from Despair Gerosha; the couple's realization that they won't be able to stop themselves forever becomes the primary motive for their elopement. Their need for security with one another is demoted to a secondary motive; although it was their primary motive in Classic Gerosha.

Ciem: Condemnation
Main article: Ciem: Condemnation

Nolle's demise in Condemnation is retconned into Dolly being too busy killing thugs to address the burning apartment. Therefore, Nolle's death is only referenced later in an obituary.
