Round Robin Legacy - Introducing Nyssa Lioncourt's new life

The poll has been closed and Nyssa won by a landslide! Thank you to everyone who voted for her, because I couldn't be happier to have her for my stretch of The Round Robin Legacy. Now, for a little glimpse at her new look...







Just setting things up here.




Nyssa Lioncourt...

She appears mysteriously in Sim City one day, and claims to have come from another planet. Moving forward, and trying to forget her tragic past, she immerses herself in the nightlife scene, and will eventually become a proffessional party guest, but is that where her story will end, or is it just the beginning?

(Yeah, I checked to see what her LTW might be in my game, but I thought that "become a proffessional party guest" was more interesting than "woohoo with 20 sims." I'm sure she'll have her share of lovers, but the career plays into a better story for me, so I went with that.










She's very pretty for someone without a nose.

And my fears about the cc skin clashing with my overall Maxis-match style seem to have been exaggerated. With the right cc, she blends in pretty well, aside from the slightly more defined nose and upper lip. (Though my SO was like, "What the hell is on her face? What's up with the maple leaf?" *snicker* What is this? Canadian propaganda? We can't have that...) My main concern was the lips, which were easily converted to my own style with lipstick, so all is well.

I've also decided that her story will take place about a generation into the same world as Strangetown, Here We Come, so it will provide a number of little hints about that too. ;)

I LOVE HER.

I totally didn't yell at my friends and make them vote for her. I get way too competitive with polls sometimes. It reminds me of the Mag and Luz days of the Valenzuela Legacy. xD

What's up with the maple leaf? *snicker* What is this? Canadian propaganda? We can't have that...

Ahahaha!!!! Too funny!

I'm curious though, she has a cut on her face. Is that from fleeing the attacking race before she went through the portal?

I so would have voted for Adric if you hadn't put out the call. But I didn't want to kill your muse. I can't wait to see what you do with her story, though. The more I think about it, she probably has the best scope for a good plot of the choices.

Haha, Canadian propaganda. I knew the marking on her face looked familiar to me; I just couldn't figure out why.

(And in case you're wondering who I am, I'm just a reader of your Strangetown series who decided to add you and leap into casual commenting without introducing myself. How awkward of me.)

Awww, she's cute!

I need to catch up with that legacy, although I've voted on the heirs everytime I've seen the polls up :D.

At first I thought Nissa was a Plantsim with that skin, though!

Have fun with the legacy! (Are you going to follow the rules?)

Aw, she looks great. Lovely! Actually, with that hair style, she looks older and more mature. Even sad, like that last picture (though maybe that's just me reading too much into it ^^;;; ). And I did notice the scar first off.

I'm glad she seems to have made the trip over to your game, hopefully without too much culture shock. :) She does look like she fits in well.

Git bizy! Ha ha! :D

Ooooo... interesting! It'll be fun to read Nyssa's story *and* try to pick up little clues for the future of STHWC! I love it!

Yes I don't think her skin is jarring at all. Those Enalya skins (that one and the other ones in that series) I have had in my own game as well and I find they can blend pretty well for a special sim.

Can't wait!

Clues about the future of Strangetown? Oooh. I'm intrigued but scared at the same time. Does that mean the end is near? D:

So I'm not the only one that thought her facial markings looked like a leaf?

Looks like she got a little banged up in the leap to safety, too, huh?

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with her (and really hope it involves cowplants in some way--ooh, she could be a black widow!).

Yay, she won!

I also noticed the scar, but she looks great. I LOVER that hair recolor as well, I downloaded it as soon as I saw it. ^_^

Aww she's so pretty! (for someone without a nose :P)

Looks like I might have to read that Round Robin thing after all :D if you're doing it!
