Phaemer Village Peacekeepers Story Pack

The Phaemer Village Peacekeepers Story Pack is a set of DzMD creations designed to allow characters and objects from Phaemer Village Peacekeepers to be modded into games of the player's choosing. Currently, on a version of the pack for The Sims 3 exists on Dozerfleet Labs' blog on Blogger; though the pack has not been ruled out for future games.

Keet Kabo
Keetherina Kabo is part of a dying subspecies of rejected Phexo types, known as Parakoids. She was specifically the result of merging human DNA with that of blue budgie parakeets.

In 1997, her beloved Phaemer Village was destroyed. She's been trying to get it back ever since. However, Gosmerid has just escalated the war he's a part of, and Keet's gonna need a small army to set things right. Having done time for stealing food, Keet's getting tired of messing around. Few can lighten the mood for her anymore, except for Evan. Though, she still has no idea why he says that she sounds like Slappy Squirrel.

Keet was at one point captured by SCALLOP, and taken to the SCALLOP Women's Containment Center. Stung Hornet helped her escape - mostly so she'd stop annoying the other prisoners. Keet later assisted Team Spaghetti Liberation in Italy and Mozambique, before returning to Phaeleel to stay. She can also be seen in one panel of Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims, where she helped in the fight against Slaisionnach.

Note: The Keet contained in here doesn't have extra feather texture to her skin, nor her parakeet tail. These, at the moment, still have to be added in manually via Photoshop. Likewise, hiding her mouth and painting her nose a beak color has to be done in post editing.

The joke with her name is that she's a "keet-kabob," which would be very impractical in real life.

Time Capsule
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.

Bolte Chipotle
Bartholomew Chippen was part of a family of rejected Phexos that have the genetics of a chili pepper. They used to run a chili farm near Phaemer Village, letting them blend in. Forced into the city, Bart was rejected for employment most places - except for restaurants. However, he had to be extra careful how he handled the food. If any trace of his pungency contaminated a dish, it would become too spicy for most to eat! Simply dipping his finger in a bowl of soup, would turn that soup into a weapon!

After joining Keet's team, he eventually gets water cannons to wear - with water contaminated with his body oil and sweat! All majorly-mammalian entities sprayed with this water, would suffer serious trauma!

Chipotle is one spicy fellow! An injury on Phaeleel, plus the need to look after the restored farm, however, leave him unable to join the team in their quest to Earth to deal with some Phaletori there. This is why he wasn't involved in Team Spaghetti Liberation's fight against Rappaccini. However, he recovers in time for the Second Battle for Dephinapolis.

He is seen briefly in one panel for Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims.

Jackal Semicolon
Jake Semical lost his childhood home in 1997 with the destruction of Phaemer Village. He is trained in various weaponry, even more so than Titus. He speaks few words, and broken sentences, often only two or three syllables at a time. He also has a jetpack and uzi, and loves to use them.

To survive in Dephinapolis, he had to adopt the DJ stage name of "Jackal Semicolon." He also participated in the Second Battle for Dephinapolis. He appears briefly in Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims.

The Socratic
Titus "the Socratic" Rahmerthal is a stone-type Meethexo, similar to the villain Rockpapsci, but with skin more marble-like in appearance. But unlike the latter, Titus rejected the Hebbleskins and their beliefs. He was about to be executed for his rejection of the cause; but he fled into exile on Phaeleel. There, he found it hard to function in society. No one had much room for a giant that looked like an animated statue of Socrates, who was always pointing out the flaws in others' tactics and strategies.

He befriended Keet after meeting her on the street; but chose to live in a safe cavern located near Dephinapolis' massive underground sewer system. Yet, when Keet says the time to act has come, and Titus knows that Phaemer Village must rise again, he joins her team. He is fairly good at ship operation and repairs, and good with advanced weaponry - in spite his usual pacifism.

After helping Keet defeat Gosmerid, he later assists Team Spaghetti Liberation in defeating Rappaccini in Italy and Mozambique during the events in Sodality: Vindication. He also appears briefly in Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims.

He is inspired in some ways by Guardians of the Galaxy's Groot, in spite having mechanical skills on par with Rocket Raccoon. The version of him seen in this pic is an early render. His current render has a toga, which requires a custom mesh download (see below.)

Pillcenary
Pillcenary was built by Stephanie Barrin during her being committed to the Gum Arabic Mental Hospital. Due to the Kirby Act and Beliah Amendment Enforcements, which had their constitutionality blue-hotly debated, Ron Barrin had to retire as Pilltar to avoid prosecution (read: persecution.) Jonathan Tannuli, Stephanie's new husband, took over as Pilltar after Ron returned from Mozambique. However, he didn't operate Pilltar for long. Under pressure to avoid the Second Battle for Dephinapolis, he chose to stay behind on Earth, and look after his wife's recovery.

Therefore, Stephanie imbued into the Pillcenary droid's AI a resemblance of Jonathan's personality, creating a substitute Jonathan that could operate independently. The droid could then, in theory, replace the militarized Sodality Pilltar completely and forever, and be superior to the standard neighborhood watch Pilltar droids.

However, giving the AI some resemblance of autonomy yielded unexpected results. The AI concluded that the Sodality's willingness to surrender to SCALLOP internment under the Kirby Act and Beliah Amendments was wrong. It decided it didn't wish to be a part of a system on Earth that had so many legal contradictions; so it chose to stay behind on Phaeleel after the battle.

Having no other place to go, Pillcenary moved to the rebuilt Phaemer Village, and joined its peacekeeping brigade. A version of him is implied to have been aboard the ship when the PhVP visited Earth-MMPR-1993-F during the events of Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers. However, Pillcenary has never been depicted much beyond his role in Sodality: Vindication. What's included

This is a later, cheaper, post-battle build for Pillcenary, as a Plumbot. His original build was a SimBot.

Strawcenary
In addition to Pillcenary, Stephanie crafted an AI version of herself dubbed "Strawcenary," to replace her in battle. Given her brain damage and mental conditions, she was no longer deemed fit to pilot the "Strawberry" Pilltar droid in battle.

Strawcenary was meant to be Stephanie's long-term replacement. However, her suicidal tendencies carried over into the AI. Strawcenary sacrifices herself to help win the Second Battle for Dephinapolis. Alas, you can have a rebuilt version in your game.

This one reads as a Plum-Bot.

Slip-Sadie
Sadina Klink lived most of her life on Earth, as a regular young woman in Indiana. However, after the Great Marlquaan Storm, she became blessed with the gift to generate a slippery fluid out of thin air - as well as to manipulate friction on any surface at will.

However, in 2018, this gift was going haywire from stress. An accident led to her unwittingly killing her ex-boyfriend, who was stalking and terrorizing her. SCALLOP sent her to the SCALLOP Evansville HQ Jail. There, she met and befriended Candi Flippo - serving two weeks for failure to show up for a physical exam mandated by the Kirby Act and by Affadidah's regime.

While Candi would get out eventually, and save the world many times, Sadie found herself wronged again and again by Darius Philippine - until she was forgotten in a dark place in SCALLOP Women's Containment Center. Let out only a few times to exercise or to carry out missions against the Hebbleskins, Sadie spent the better part of ten years locked up - wondering if the promise to set her free after her ten-year sentence would be honored.

Candi was able to talk Sadie back to some resemblance of sanity, after Candi herself was interned at the SWCC for her safety during the Beliah Amendments Enforcement after the Screwworms attacked her home. However, after Sadie was let out by Lex to partake of the Second Battle for Dephinapolis, Sadie was too bitter to return to Earth and join the Sodality. She elected to join the Phaemer Village Peacekeepers instead, taking advice from Pillcenary. She remains in exile on Phaeleel, getting physically back in shape and enjoying what's left of her life with her new friends.

This Sim is an early render. A different version of her appears in one panel of Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers on Mod the Sims.

Tremia Vempule
Tremia's activism for the rights of Unpreferred Alterds who've broken no serious laws has made her something of a pariah toward those with Phaletori sympathies, who prefer Hebbleskin-style paganism to the more Christian-leaning Phaelite society that borrows from pre-Hebbleskin Meethlite tradition.

With the world of Phaeleel on the brink of civil war between these two ideological factions, Meethexos and "unfavored" Phexos have a very hard time functioning in Phaelite society. The village known as Phaemer was originally set up not far from Dephinapolis, to be a place where these rejected factions of Altered could live in peace. But all the fighting in 1997 led to Phaemer Village being destroyed, forcing the survivors to form an underground network throughout Dephinapolis.

Protesting that certain Phexos have as much right to be a part of a street preacher's crowd as anyone else resulted in Tremia getting abducted by Phaletori-sympathizing officers. She spent a little over a year in prison for this, without ever facing trial. It was in there that she met Keet Kabo - who was in for stealing food when she wasn't allowed to buy any.

Tremia takes Keet home to her parents' place after they get out of prison, and offers to help Keet find mercenary work so that she can get her own place. Tremia's parents...are very uneasy about the arrangement of having Keet around, suspecting the latter will only draw them unpleasant attention.

However, one fateful day of the two girls looking for jobs ended in Tremia getting captured, and Keet finding a man stuck in an MPF chamber in a museum exhibit. She decided to do the unthinkable: free him! Keet and "Time Capsule" went on the run; while Tremia was captured by Gosmerid. It would take the Phaemer Village Peacekeepers to free her - if they could rescue her in time!

Chancellor Avori Namolil
Avori Namolil abhors the mistreatment of Phexos and Meethexos that aren't "approved" kinds, as one of the greatest absurdities of Phaelite existence. However, re-election is a risky business, that could jeopardize his quest for reforms. A handful of Phaletori insurgents look to hijack the election, placing his very life in jeopardy. Gosmerid, however, would have the election completely canceled.

Namolil is friends with Tremia and Keet, and sympathizes with their cause. However, he has to downplay publicly how close to them he is personally. With Tremia captured by Gosmerid, it's only a matter of time before Namolil himself is. He uses his position to help Keet assemble her team of rogues to intercept Gosmerid's diabolical plans for Dephinapolis - the city named after the war hero Dephinol Wilmarik.

Major Demerin Gosmerid
Gosmerid was a major for a long time, but cared little about "pure" Phaelite society as most understood it. He was more in favor of the cult known as the Phaletori, which sought to create its own Phaelite version of a Hebbleskin-like state of existence; just devoid of any Meethlites running it.

Like others with Phaletori ties, he didn't believe there should be any place in the entire multiverse for Phexos and Meethexos that had been rejected by society at large. That only those approved of to exist by the Phaletori council, who were loyal, should still be created and tolerated. But in order to assume control of Phaeleel - the grand prize - he needed to first bring back his Phaletori cousins on Earth - who were being hammered by the Sodality of Gerosha.

In 1997, he destroyed Phaemer Village through a series of miscommunications and redirects while battling a Hebbleskin invasion. In so doing, he displaced the rejected varieties of Altered that were living there, forcing them to live in a city of Dephinapolis that had trouble accepting them. By 2025, he plans to finish what he started - but also, bring an invading force to destroy Dephinapolis!

The rogue commander has but one small problem: Keet Kabo, and her growing bands of allies! They want their village back, and are ready to take it back! They wish to then form a peacekeeping brigade to defend the village, so it won't be so easily destroyed again. But ironically, to prove themselves, the Peacekeepers have to go to war.

Development
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.

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. While she has a soft spot for Evan as a friend and teammate, she's not romantically attracted to him the way Gamora is to Star Lord in the MCU. She also take over the role of leader this time. Keet was guaranteed to be the most difficult to adapt, since it's so hard to give beaks and tails to Sims. Her blue budgie theme was inspired by the Dozerfleet founder's mother 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.

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.

Distribution
The earliest version of this pack being released dates to about November 10th of 2014. It was later re-released to Dozerfleet Labs' blog on Blogger right before June 30th of 2020.

Follow-ups
A Sims 4 version of this pack is being considered, but has been delayed for release until at least late 2022.
