Generation 9 Heir Poll

Hey everyone! Welcome at last to the Cinnabar heir poll! To preface this poll, know that whoever is chosen will be traveling to the future, and their spouse will be someone we meet there! I’ve done barely anything with ITF since I got it, knowing that I wanted to save it for the last generation of Kantos. With that in mind, choose whoever you’d most like to see adventure in Oasis Landing!

First up is Scizor, our awkward, nerdy werewolf! Her story, should you choose to follow it, will likely involve coming to terms with her lycanthropy and finding a pack of her own.

Next we have Delibird, our grumpy artist with a heart of gold. Her dreams involve getting away from her stifling family to pursue her artistic endeavors.

Foongus is our kindhearted outdoorsman with a bit of a wacky streak. While he hasn’t focused much on this during his screen time, his future will likely involve becoming a world-renowned hero.

Next up is Ariados, the flighty, slightly airheaded mermaid/ghost. For now, she’s a novelist, but she doesn’t really know what she wants. She’ll likely head wherever the wind takes her.

Throh is the family’s eccentric inventor, with a dash of genie magic. Her wish is to fill her family with the robot companions she creates.

Here we have Crawdaunt, who is classy as he is evil. While still just a child now, he dreams of one day remaking the future in his image.

Finally, we have the baby of the family. Groudon is our tomboyish vehicle enthusiast. Since she’s still a child, she’s not quite sure what her future will hold. Something tells me that motorcycles and jetpacks might be involved, though!

Now that you’ve seen your candidates, it’s time to make your choice! Who would you like to see take the reigns for the final generation of the Kanto legacy?

9.10: Birthdays for Days

Hey everyone! I’m back again with another post. I thought I would have two more posts before the heir poll, but I didn’t think there was a good place to split up this batch of images, so instead I’ll just put them all in one longer post. Apologies for that, but I hope you’re all ready to vote for the Cinnabar heir!

Gus has discovered the guest house basement. It’s quite popular among visitors, but the Kantos rarely venture down here.

Serenity is still here from last time.

Serenity: Maybe if I hang around her long enough, she’ll realize we’re meant to be.

Ariados: Lol little blue hedgehog goes fast.

Scizor becomes the first member of the generation to get asked on a date!

Scizor: ~gulps~ I don’t know if this is such a good idea…

It’ll be fine.

This is Zero Hernandez. Yes, he’s the half-brother of our friend Serenity. He’s pretty cute! And also age appropriate. What do you think, Scizor?

Scizor: C…c…cute….

Zero: I don’t know if I should be flattered or weirded out with the way this hot chick is staring at me…

They already have a decent relationship from school, so we get right to flirting.

Scizor: This is pretty romantic, right? Being out under the stars together.

Zero: That’s kinda what I was going for, yeah. Glad you agree.

She shoots…

And scores!

And the first of Cinnabar generation locks in a love interest. Just in time, too. It’s past curfew, but Scizor managed to get him to go steady and get home without getting picked up by the psychic police.

Poor Mimey is paid a visit by some of Ortho’s colleagues.

Mr. Mime: I welcomed Orthopox as a son, and this is how you repay me?!

Maggie is typically on Groudon duty, since she has the least to do out of everyone else.

Margaret: Don’t put it like that. Of course I’m happy to care for my grandchildren and their stinky bodily fluids.

Groudon: Stop pressing me down, gramma. It hurts…

Besides the “twins,” these two have had more of a chance to spend time with each other than the other siblings had as toddlers. Not sure why that is, but it’s nice to see.

Crawdaunt: Care to join me for Mozart? The radio across the hall has been playing it for a few days now.

Groudon: I don’t want more Sart brudder. I don’t even know what Sart is.

Crawdaunt: I’m surrounded by plebeians…

Speaking of the twins, they are the best of friends.

Scizor: Way to rub your adorable sibling relationship in my face, guys…

Foongus: Wanna be best friends forever, Ari?

Ariados: You bet your butt I do.

Yay! Now they’re officially the best of friends.

Crawdaunt doesn’t have to deal with his little sister’s lack of musical knowledge much longer. It’s time for him to grow up!

Uhoh, I know what that face means…

Crawdaunt: Hehehe, yes. I have finally reached a form fitting enough to contain my true power.

He’s evil now, adding to disciplined and virtuoso. He’s shaping up to be a classy Bond villain.

I’m not sure about his eyes, but the rest is all Quen. I’m really gonna need to play around with my NRAAS settings before Indigo gen.

Crawdaunt: The world is not ready for Crawdaunt the Great!

Groudon: Get out of my room, brudder. You’re creepy.

His first wish is to paint, so he gets right to it. He can’t use the instruments and training dummy I put in his room until he’s a teen anyways.

Now that we’re finally done with our TSAL for the generation, I let Throh magically clean the house.

Throh: How does this work…? Ummm…domus purgo?

Throh: I guess that did something.

Half the stuff in our house is broken right now, so I sent Ortho around fixing everything.

Orthopox: I do hope you realize that my abilities are not infinite. My body may be more capable than that of a typical Earthling, but overuse does drain me none-the-less.

We’ll be careful. Don’t worry.

Crawdaunt: Yawn. I tire of this menial task.

Why did you paint something so innocent and adorable, you evil mastermind?

Crawdaunt: Do not be deceived. This art is merely a ploy to get Sims to lower their defenses.

Maybe I did push Ortho too hard. He chose to stick around the lot after work and make drinks instead of coming home.

Orthopox: I don’t wish to speak with you now. I need, how you say, personal time.

Fair enough.

Vespiquen: Out of my way, mother.

Margaret: Respect your elders, daughter.

Crawdaunt: Fascinating. Thank you, mother and grandmother, for allowing me to witness this failed human interaction.

Margaret: All you people who voted for Quen instead of one of my nice sons should be ashamed of yourselves!

Careful, Mags. That didn’t go so well for the last Kanto who got addicted to the megaphone.

Vespiquen: UGGHHHH! STUPID MOTHER!!!

Wow. That’s quite the face.

With so many adults in the house, I don’t make the kids help out with their siblings that much. But sometimes they take the initiative on their own.

Foongus: We all know how dysfunctional our family is. We’re happy to help our sister turn out better.

Groudon: This big brudder is nice!

Typically, Scizor seems to love being a werewolf. And yet for some reason, she decided to complain about werewolf curse to Ling.

Scizor: I can’t believe you did this to me, Grandma Ling! Dealing with being a werewolf and going through puberty is too much for a girl to take!

Deerling: Cheer up, weird wolf girl. At least I protected you from the Fairy Lord’s grasp.

Scizor: By giving me over to Hircine?!

Scizor: Whatever, granny. You just don’t understand.

Deerling: No, I just don’t care.

Delibird: I love the smell of discord in the morning.

Ariados: What a beautiful corner. I’m drawn to this corner more than any other in the house.

Delibird: Take a picture, it’ll last longer.

Ariados: What a splendid idea! Then I’ll be able to lay in bed and stare at my corner instead of floating down here each time I wish to view it.

Delibird: There are a lot of freaks in this house, but she might take the cake.

Foongus: Hey baby sister! You’re just in time to see your mom’s garbage dancing.

Throh: I do not claim that woman as my mother.

Jammie: Just keep on dancing, Jam. They’ll accept you eventually.

We don’t see them together too much, but Quen and Ortho are still very much in love.

They have their fair share of romance, but they actually talk with each other more than any other Sims couple I’ve had. It’s nice.

Orthopox: And so that is how I perfected your Earth recipe using culinary skills from my home planet as well as a bit of science.

Vespiquen: I love when you talk shop with me, Ortho.

Of course, Ling isn’t giving up so easily.

Deerling: You’re looking fine as always, sexy alien.

Orthopox: Please, do not make me blush.

I would just like to show off these weird paintings Mimey painted during his attempt at mastering the skill.

Mr. Mime: Only by becoming a master painter will I be able to assure my family’s financial security.

Oh please, as if you haven’t been rich for generations now.

Ari had a school opportunity at the science lab, and she chose to swim there instead of taking a cab? At least she didn’t get glitched out of the water.

Ariados: The Glitch Gremlin and I have an understanding.

Crawdaunt: How unsightly. And she thinks she has the right to the great Kanto name?

Deli found her way to her grandpa’s bar while I wasn’t looking. Little lady looks like she can’t hold her liquor.

Delibird: What are you talking about? I’m sober as a….sober Sim. ~eye twitch~

These two are becoming horn-dogs in their old age. They both rolled the wish to increase their woohoo skill at the same time.

Foongus: Look at me, I’m an old person and I think I still have a woohoo drive.

Sometimes I forget he’s insane too. He doesn’t show it as much as Ari does.

Birthday time for Groudon!

She rolled vehicle enthusiast, adding to loves the outdoors and heavy sleeper. I dressed her kinda tomboyish. Maybe when she’s a teen she’ll get more of a biker chick makeover.

She has mostly Quen’s features, but she does have Ortho’s lips.

Her first skilling wish was to fish, so I sent her out with Gus to get started.

Foongus: You ready for some sibling bonding, baby sister?

Groudon: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea…

Scizor is sent out hunting every once in a while. Since she doesn’t have a pack yet, she never comes back with much.

Crawdaunt: Fear me!

Ariados: Gasp! What was that?

How Ari managed to get scared from the front, I’ll never know.

Oh, werewolves. How you amuse me.

Ari finished her first sci-fi novel, and it was a big hit! Good job girl, most of my Sims’ first novels tend to flop.

Remember when Mimey was abducted at the start of the chapter? Yeah. Surprise!

I will likely regret this decision, but welcome to the family baby Zapdos.

Zapdos was born good and athletic. He likes indie music, ceviche, and the color violet and he’s a libra. It was probably a terrible idea for us to raise this baby, but I haven’t had an alien abduction baby since Deoxys and I kind of missed them.

Deerling: It was so nice of you to give my son another child to raise. I know it’ll keep him young and spritely at the end of his life bar.

Orthopox: I had nothing to do with that decision, but I’m glad it pleases you, my dear.

Groudon: Should we tell mom? Or maybe cook that home wrecker into a pie? Something?

Foongus: We’ve all just kind of learned to keep our heads down at this point.

Delibird: Stupid step-father…mother should have stayed with my dad. He was loyal enough to move to a new town with her, and he hasn’t been with another woman since.

True story.

You’re too late, Quen. That one’s not yours. Yours are all grown.

Vespiquen: Maybe I’m just feeling nostalgic for my younger days.

I guess her nostalgia can be excused. After all, another one of her kids is about to reach her teen years!

Throh: Yay, birthday!

Throh: Finally, I can begin to make my family of Plumbots who will never abandon me!

Her new trait is family oriented, adding to eccentric, genius, and bot fan.

Throh is 100% a Jammie clone. She’s still gorgeous though! That’s all for this chapter, everyone. An heir poll will be posted shortly after this! I’ll leave it open for a while so everyone who wants to vote will have a chance. Thanks so much for sticking with me, guys! I can’t wait to get this final generation underway!

9.9: The Race Continues

Foongus: Greetings, readers! It is I, Foongus, here to welcome you back to the Kanto Legacy!

Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a while, but let’s get this show on the road, shall we? In the last chapter, Deli became a teen, Throh grew into a child, and the final baby of the gen, Groudon, was born.

Foongus: Aww yeah, I totally nailed that intro.

While Ortho is a great father to all his and Quen’s kids, he is absolutely thrilled to have a child of his own as well.

Orthopox: I’m glad to finally meet you, my little Groudon. You shall grow to rule this legacy one day.

We’ll see about that. She has lots of siblings to compete with.

What happened here?

Vespiquen: Absolutely nothing. Mother’s just being dramatic, like always.

Margaret: Are you really going to believe this brat? She insulted her own mother!

Quen pretty much antagonizes everyone these days. These two are slightly in the red with each other. She’s halfway in the red with Ling!

Vespiquen: Can you believe what people have been saying about your mama, Gus? I’m obviously the star of this legacy, how can they say such cruel things about me?

Foongus: Well, you do yell at people a lot, mom…

Vespiquen: Only people who deserve it! Which just happens to be everyone.

Foongus: I really don’t know how to respond to this…

Baby Groudon gets started learning to talk!

Groudon: Gotta catch up to my brothers and sisters fast!

Ling continues to woo Ortho. He never initiates flirts with her, but he’ll always accept them.

Deerling: That’s because he knows I’m the correct choice.

Orthopox: Oh, the scandal I’ve gotten myself into! Perhaps I should consult with our Earthling expert back on my planet to determine what I should do about this.

Margaret: You know your grandma is still a work of art, right Throh? I haven’t lost my touch?

Throh: Listen, granny. I’m just trying to get to the bookshelf. Scizor’s kinda got me into this teen drama series and I have to read the next one.

Outdoorsy Gus spends all his free time fishing.

Foongus: Wouldn’t you take the opportunity to get out of that crazy house too?

I suppose I probably would.

Ariados: Grandma Ling, do you know about cross multiplication?

Deerling: Sorry, small child. I don’t help with homework.

Deli’s new favorite pastime is sculpting. She does this more than paint now.

Throh works at the potions table for now, since she’s not old enough for her bot building station yet. I know there’s a mod out there that lets children do some of these things, but I think I’ll pass for the Kantos since we’re so close to the end at this point.

Ariados: Can you help me with my cross multiplication, sis?

Scizor: Baby sister, if being a werewolf has taught me anything, it’s that math doesn’t matter in real life. Just write down whatever, I’m sure it will be fine.

Ariados: Geez, I thought you used to be the smart one…

Scizor: Step one: make sure Ari fails her homework. Step two: make sure she ends up with a terrible teen trait. Step three: take the lead in the heir race!

I dunno, Ari. Sounds like she might still be the smart one after all.

Deerling: The spawn of my love…if I can connect with his child more than that hussy can, maybe he’ll see that I should be his true mate!

Crawdaunt continues to be adorable! I think it’s those dark eyes that make him so cute to me.

Margaret: You need to leave Quen’s man alone, Mother! She’s finally settled down, don’t ruin this for me! I mean…her!

Deerling: Nobody tells me what to do.

Deerling: Take this!

Margaret: Don’t throw that at me, you beast!

Margaret: I’m suddenly feeling so…tired…

Deerling: That’s right, you witch. Pass out like the drunk college student you think you still are.

Maybe Groudon should stop rushing through her skills so much, she seems to be getting confused.

Not sure how these uncooked hot dogs got in-between the guest house and the wedding pavilion, but here they are. And nobody can fit through this space to pick them up. I could delete them myself, but they amuse me so here they stay.

Delibird: Look, kid. I’m not happy about having you around. More competition and all. But I know how it felt to be ignored my whole childhood and I’d feel guilty or whatever if I let you grow up the same. So just, like, put the block in the hole already.

Crawdaunt: Sissy’s not as mean as she pretends!

Delibird: Tell anyone and I’ll kill you.

Just showing off Ortho’s spaceship.

Orthopox: My vehicle is not just a “spaceship” as you call it. This is one of the most advanced vehicles my people have invented. It is truly an honor to be able to operate it.

Sure, sure. Sorry Ortho.

Bronson came over, supposedly to bring his and Shuckle’s son Oberon for a playdate. Oberon never showed up though.

Margaret: Come on in, you handsome specimen.

Bronson: Please don’t come onto me, ma’am. I’m happily married.

Being another Sim Ling turned into a werewolf, Scizor beelined for him.

Scizor: Another wolf like me! Tell me all about yourself, Bronson!

Bronson: Uhh….please take the jailbait somewhere else…

Scizor: He’s sooo cute!

Scizor. Please stop fawning over older werewolf men.

Ari probably has the most friends at school out of her siblings.

Ariados: Yeah, I live in a mansion with a super dope pool where I get to cool off during hot summer days. No big deal.

Couldn’t possibly be because of her bragging about her wealth to everyone.

Birthday time for the twins!

Foongus: Aww yeah, time to get more awesome!

Gus rolled brave as his new trait, adding to loves the outdoors, athletic, and insane! He turned out quite handsome, of course.

Coming only from Quen’s genetics, of course he’s her clone. Here’s a CAS shot of him anyways though, so he doesn’t feel left out.

Of course Ari also has her birthday too, being the “twin” of Gus.

Ariados: Maybe I’ll get an interesting trait and you’ll finally pay attention to me!

She turned out gorgeous! Ari rolled night owl, adding to insane, clumsy, and over-emotional.

Ari is a complete clone of her father Aubergine. Unfortunately, lots of clones this gen. But luckily we just have one more gen to go, so it’s not the worst thing ever.

One more birthday to celebrate! With four children into their teen years, Quen’s finally becoming a proper adult.

Jammie: Happiest of birthdays, lover!

Vespiquen: Take me back. I want to be young again.

Our new teens get right into skilling. They’re such cuties!

Quen runs to Ortho for assurance that he still loves her despite her older age.

She also takes the chance to check the sexualities of the kiddos.

Ariados: Doesn’t matter to me, I like anyone who’s cute and nice.

I didn’t get a picture of Gus being asked, but he likes girls.

One of the kids brought this girl, Serenity Hernendez, home from school.

Delibird: What do you think, little brother? Gonna make a move?

Foongus: Naw, she’s not my type.

That’s okay, she seems to be interested in another member of the household anyways.

Ariados: Just making my daily rounds of staring at the most beautiful pictures in the house.

Serenity: Oh. My. Goodness. She’s the real work of art!

I had them strike up a conversation, but unfortunately for Serenity, Ari isn’t attracted to her. Oh well, they can still be friends.

We’ll close off this chapter with Throh showing off her genie side! Thanks so much for reading, everyone. It should just be a couple more chapters now until the heir poll, and then we’ll be one step closer to the end! My 9-year legaversary recently passed us by, so happy birthday Kantos! Thank you guys for sticking with me for nine crazy years! Until next time, happy Simming!
