Resistance is Colorful - A Genetics Playground
« on: July 22, 2014, 04:35:48 PM »
Why yes, I have many dynasties I'm still playing and attempting to finish, but a shiny new dynasty is nothing to sniff at, so I had to throw my name into the mix.  This is mostly for my own amusement and to see how genetics play out after awhile, so there's not really a story, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!  I am attempting to try some skill challenges and jobs I haven't really messed with before, so we'll see how it goes.

I would love to see your founders and some of their offspring.

Ask and you shall receive!

-----------------


This is Noota Land, though in hindsight I should have called him Notta Land.  All of his sliders are set at the far left.


This is his wife, Candy Land.  I couldn't resist, really I couldn't.  All of her sliders are set at the far right, at least I shouldn't get any EA clones from this couple!  They're both on different color sliders, but only Noota is on a rainbow slider.


They arrived at their home lot in Appaloosa Plains along with their dog, Collar, and their cat, Shugga.  I got bored with names, heh.  As soon as they went into live mode, Noota got a job as a Ghost Hunter and Candy got a job as an Architect.  Both pets started hunting as soon as they were able and certainly were a great help in getting the household funds up to a decent amount.  With the pets hunting and Candy's job as an architect, they finally got a decent little house built, though it's nothing extravagant, I'm not much of a builder.


Both of their requirements went by pretty quickly and they both finished up some paintings for the museum (guess which one's Noota's?) so they could move on to...



Noota quickly quit his Ghost Hunting profession and joined the Culinary arts, while Candy decided she was going to become a professional Horsewoman.  Have to use that Animal Lover trait somehow.  She'd adopted another dog before hunting down a unicorn and bringing him into the household.  Spring became another big source of income before he left the household quite a long time after he joined.

Since all things must happen at inopportune times, Candy went into labor when she and Noota were at a party, and she was trying to become friends with another local horse.  They both rushed home, excited about the Fertility Treatments they'd both bought as their first rewards, and...!

One was born.  Seriously.  Just one kid.  Sigh.  He was quickly aged up to a toddler and he takes quite a bit after his mother.


I've decided just to do random rolls for traits, like the Life States Dynasty, because I think it will help with some of the boredom from planning everything.  One was born Eccentric, so he obviously needed to Invent.

...and have his inaugural butt fire.


While her son was getting set on fire, Candy was doing her dynasty duties and training horses.  Over and over and over... well, yeah.  She did plenty of races but honestly, most of her progress came from selling horses.

One became a teenager and maxed his Inventing skill.

Then a young adult and easily got to level 2 of the Inventing career.  Painting the portrait took the longest, as they always seem to do.

Once it was finally finished, his masterpiece portrait and some of his accomplishments were place in the basement.  I'll probably regret this later.

I'm not sure why, but One is super-adorable.
I agree, he was an adorable little puff-ball when he was a toddler.  The best part is, he grew up with the Flirty and Unlucky traits, which makes it even better.  Heh, I might end up putting some of them on the exchange if anyone's interested, though I'll have to figure out how to do it...

-----------------------


Spring had done his job well, getting Candy up to the top of her career and having a foal with another horse she had bought.  The little unicorn foal was a male and a nice brown with black highlights, I'm... kind of in love with him even though I haven't gotten any pictures of him.  Candy knew it was time for Spring to go, and she gave him a thankful hug before he returned to his home.

Noota had reached the top of his culinary career finally, and they decided to Try for Baby again after a costume party thrown by One at his new house.  Apparently I forgot to take a picture of the collection they had for RD 2, but it was a collection of career rewards.  The Ingredient Eviscerator from Noota and four racing trophies from Candy.

After Two, Three, and Four were born, a whirlwind of training began until they finally aged up to children.  Two decided on the Logic skill for herself, Three was going to pick up Martial Arts as a teen since he was born a Disciplined Athletic, and Four chose painting as Artistic.  Candy thought she should stay home with the kids and became a self-employed Painter, rocketing up to level 6 of her career after selling the first painting she made after joining.  Noota joined the Medical career to take advantage of his maxed out Logic skill.

Three:  *my parents do not WooHoo, my parents do not WooHoo, why am I thinking of my parents WooHooing...*

Two:  "I... I just want to get out of here, I can tell it's only going to get worse."

Four:  "Oh look at the beautiful house I could move in to after all of this.  Oh please Watcher make this go quickly."


Once Two maxed her Logic skill she aged up to a Young Adult and joined the Magician career.  Luckily her mother only had to paint two portraits before getting a Masterpiece, and she hit level 2 in her career rather quickly.  She bought her building and moved out.

Four maxed her painting skill next, hit level 5 in her self-employed Painter career, bought and upgraded her property... and had to go through about 10 portraits before a Masterpiece came out of her mother.  Now if only Three could max out his Martial Arts skill then things would be on track again.

All of the RD 3 requirements are in place, we're just waiting for Noota to get to the top of the Medical career, he's at level 8 right now.  I'm thinking about not doing any clones for this challenge, I know the length of it is the focus for this dynasty, but I really want to see how the genetics play out instead.  I might change my mind later, but for now, that's the plan.

Those portraits are killers. Sometimes first try, sometimes it seems like forever.
