Founder Story: Life begins at Uni – Part 1

The Pendragon Legacy

Founder Story:  Life begins at Uni – Part 1

Welcome to my new legacy, The Pendragon Legacy!  Let’s hope we have better luck with this than the last and manage to reach generation 10!

Now if you have read my previous legacies you will know that they are not done in the traditional style.  I do use cheats.  A lot!  My sims live in big houses and are generally rich from the start.  Also this time to try and prevent the glitching that occurs once a family has stayed in the same place to long you may also see the legacy family move between towns.  If you don’t like your legacies like this then this is probably not for you!

Now I’ve started things a little different this time.  I always find myself rushing to get the founder married of and producing kiddie winkles as soon as possible but felt like you don’t get to know the founder so well.  So this time there will be 4 founder chapters before Generation 1 gets going properly, just so you get to know our founder. 

And here is our founder, Kami Pendragon!

Kami: Is this pose sultry enough?

You look lovely dear.

Kami: but do I look sultry and smouldering?

Moving on..

Here are Kami’s traits and whatnot:

Traits – Flirty, Handy, Genius, Family Orientated, Green Thumb

Lifetime Wish – Surrounded By Family

Likes – Chinese Music, Sushi, Grey

Kami: What about now?

You look lovely.

Kami: I was going for fun loving but sophisticated?

I think you try to hard

Kami: But I want to make a good first impression!

I’m sure you have but let’s just act normal from now on shall we?

Kami: But will they still like me?

They will love you!

Kami lives alone at her beach side home in Sunlit Tides.  Recently moving away from the family home Kami hopes to earn her degree at university before starting a family.

Oh, and last little factoid, Kami is a witch!

So after a visit from the university llama Kami fills out the aptitude test.

Kami: What’s a dob?

You mean D.O.B?

Kami: That’s what I said.  A dob!

It means date of birth.

Kami: Well why don’t they just put that instead of making up these silly new words!

*sigh* as you can probably guess, Kami did not earn a scholarship!

With the aptitude test completed Kami chooses a 3 week term working towards a degree in science and medicine and heads off to university.

Kami: I’m so excited!  I’m going to meet loads of people, get to go to loads of parties..

And study.  Don’t forget to study.

Kami: I was getting to that bit.

Kami arrives at her dorm and quickly begins to make friends.

Are you not going to bagsie a bed?

Kami: Nah, I’ll sleep wherever.

Ok, just don’t come complaining to me if you end up sleeping on the sofa.  You could have rented a house you know.

Kami: Where’s the fun in that, I’d never meet anyone!

True, this is a legacy after all!

Kami: Meaning?

Oh I have plans for you my dear girl!

Kami: *gulp*

Kami joins her fellow students in listening to a guy tell ghost stories.

Ghost stories?  How old are you?

Kami: They are really good!

Really.

Kami: Well they aren’t bad but this guy is hot!

Kami wasted no time in getting to know the hot story teller.   

His name is Galen Dragoso and he is a genie.

(Galen created by the amazingly talented Pyliathesunelf.  Thank you hunni! <3)

Turns out, Galen is studying toward his Fine Arts degree and is also signed up for 3 weeks (spooky eh ;p).

Cid: Hey!  Voice lady!  I'm not a part of this story, get the camera outta my face!

I did however manage to persuade Kami to tear herself away from Galen and spend some time studying before classes started!

Kami seems to have made quite the impression on Galen. 

Wait a second, is that..

Kami?  Are you following Galen?

Kami: *cough* no, we just happen to be going the same way.

But you are taking different classes?

Kami: You just wouldn’t believe how squashed together the buildings are around here.

To help with Kami’s performance she planted a few seeds to improve her gardening experience.

As well as her degree she also had her own passions and was steadily building up her alchemy skills.

*cough* lucky the dorm had an alchemy station *cough*

Her studying was interrupted by the sound of guitar playing downstairs.

Kami: Oh my.  He plays guitar!  *swoons*

Nice to see you are not stalking Genies today Kami.

Kami: Overslept.  Late.  Very late.

Galen: I swear she’s following me.

The lady with the blue hair by any chance?

Galen: Yeah, that’s her.  Kami I think she said her name was.

Urm, yeah.  Sorry about that.

Galen: It’s okay it’s rather flattering.  And she’s cute.

So Galen, still okay?

Galen: A little bit on the creepy side now if I’m honest.

*whispers* Kami!  Back off a bit!!

Kami did eventually learn to keep her distance while stalking and the two became good friends.

She was also doing well in classes and managed to stay on the Dean’s list most of the time.

Kami’s favourite part of her degree was the experimenting.

Kami: I have got to get one of these when I get home!

Even if sometimes things didn’t quite go to plan!

Kami: You saw me put an apple in there right?

As Kami started to spend more time working on the skills needed to improve her degree, she spent less time stalking Galen.

Galen however seemed to pick up the slack and make sure that he was never far away.

Kami loved her practical classes working with the anatomy skeleton.

She analysed anything and everything that stayed still long enough.

And was heavily involved in the class science project.

Galen was beginning to feel a little lonely without Kami there behind him everywhere he went.

He saw her harvesting a plant nearby so decided to go speak to her.

Galen: Hey Kami!

Kami: Hey!  I’ve been practicing this new charm, hold still.

Galen: Look I just came to talk, maybe I should go.

Kami: There.  All done.

Galen: Done?

Kami: So how do you feel?

Galen: Like I could do anything!  What was that?

Kami: A good luck charm.  It may not last long though, it’s my first try.

Galen: So you mean I’ll be lucky in whatever I do?

Kami: Yep!  Oh, I’m excited!  Go do something and let me know if you were lucky!

Galen: Like this?

Kami: …

Kami: What was that for!

Galen: Look Kami.  I’ve really missed you stalking me.

Kami: I was just going the same way!

Galen: Anyway, I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend so I can stalk you without getting arrested?

Kami: Oh Galen, I’d love to!

Galen: Well it worked.

Kami: What did?

Galen: Your charm.

Kami: Huh?

Galen: I'm the luckiest man alive, I just got you!

Kami: Oh Galen, that's so sweet!

Galen: Come here, I need a pic for my status update!

Kami: Tag me!

So Galen, still creepy?

Galen: Nope it’s wonderful.

It wasn’t long before Kami discovered Galen’s little hobby.

Kami: OMG! What were you doing in that dumpster!

Galen: It’s a gold mine in there.  I’ve found a chair, a TV, a…

Kami: But you stink!

Galen: Small price to pay for the gems you can find in there.  You would be amazed at what people throw away!  

Kami: Well just go and get showered and give me back the man I love rather than someone that smells like rotten vegetables!

Galen: Did you just say you loved me?

Kami: *blushes* well I guess I..

Galen: I love you too!

Kami: *smiles* Now go get cleaned up before I turn you into an ice statue!

The science project was ready for testing and Kami was picked to pull the lever of doom.

Kami: Why is it called the lever of doom?

No idea.  Probably just to scare new students.

Kami: Well it’s working!

Ok, so maybe that’s why it’s called the lever of doom then.

Despite the failure of the class project, Kami’s other experiments were improving.

She was also managing to keep up with her studies and still spend time with Galen.

Galen: Good morning.  My name is Galen and I will be your tutor today.

Galan: Phahahahahah!

The class project was revisited and tweaked to try and discover the cause of the mass sleep.

This time the rest of the group left the area sharpish leaving just Kami to pull the lever of doom.

Kami: Right guys I’ve correlated the green nodule so this time we should see better results.  Guys?  Where’d everyone go?

This time the experiment was a success and Kami was connected to the hive mind.

Kami persuaded Galen to let her take a DNA sample.

Galen: So what are you going to do with it?

Kami: Ooh all sorts of experiments!  I may even try out cloning once I learn how!

Galen: I don’t want you cloning me give it back!

Kami: You gave it to me it’s mine!  Keep off!

Galen: Or what?

Kami: Or this!!!

Galen: You forget I’m a genie little witch.  You will have to do better than that to curse me!

Kami: Fine, keep your stupid DNA.  I don’t want it. *storms off sulking*

Kami: Stupid genie *mumble mumble* doesn’t understand progression of science *mumble mumble*

Galen: stupid witch *mumble mumble* doesn’t give a though for my feelings *mumble mumble*

A few hours later…

Kami: I’m sorry.  I should have explained what I wanted to do with the sample when I asked.  Here, take it.

Galen: No.  You keep it.  I’m sure you won’t do anything which I wouldn’t approve of.  I just wish you had explained.  I’m sorry we argued.

Kami: Me too.

Galen: You wanna stay with me tonight?

Kami: I’d like that.

Aww.  They made up J

Kami’s experiments were becoming increasingly successful.

Galen even spent some time learning science to try and understand more about what Kami was so passionate about.

Kami was quite in tune with what Galen was learning as it involved cooking, and Kami loved to eat!

Kami continued to work on both her degree skills and her personal ones.

She also liked to make her opinions heard!

Galen preferred to use the megaphone for more childish pursuits!

Term was coming to a close.  The final exams were done and Kami and Galen were getting ready for summer break.  Kami was not looking forward to being apart from Galen.

Kami: Just a thought.  But would you like to come and spend summer break with me?

Galen:  Really?  You wouldn’t mind?  I’d love to!

So the time came and everyone headed back home for the summer.  Galen was excited to be spending the time with Kami and they both hoped that this time together would bring them closer and not tear them apart.

I hope you enjoyed the 1^st legacy chapter!  There is no pattern as to when these will be released so just as and when.  Don’t forget to follow my Facebook page Tru Sims if you want sneak peeks between chapters, but be warned, there may be spoilers!!
