The Saboteur

The third member of my vault hunting team!

An expert in corporate espionage (and actual espionage), Estelle Goddard had gotten through life with fake names and millions of faces thanks to her Mirage Generator. But imagine her surprise when one day her real name and face is used on a wanted poster, and she’s not sure how that came to be. Fleeing to Pandora to hide, Estelle, who is normally used to the finer things in life, finds it difficult to adjust at first...but she’ll have to make do if she wants to find out just who found out about her and wants her dead.

Her action skill is Now You See Me, which allows her to disguise herself as enemies to escape combat--or she can detonate a shockwave whilst in the middle of a crowd by ending the action skill prematurely!

Skill Trees

Mirage - Skills related to her Mirage Generator and her action skill.

Femme Fatale - Skills that increase her long-range damage.

Sabotage - Skills that improve her ability to hack turrets and commandeer vehicles.

Trivia

-Estelle is ethnically Greek. Not that Greece is really a thing in the Borderlands universe.

-Favorite gun brand is Maliwan.

-Hates birds.

-Is currently being hunted by Zer0, as she stole confidential information from Atlas as part of a job and successfully escaped the assassin.

REPLIES TO PLAYFUL SONIA & TO THE WORST BROTHER EVER

@dans-un-autre-monde

I wish there could have been a little bit more of a story line between Georgina and Joël. I like them so very much!

Well Georgina might have to visit her mother in Bridgeport while she is at The Oaks so you never know, she MIGHT just happen run into Jojo while she is there...

@gaiahypothesims

The love story for all times... and what a way with words he has.

Roy is a poet, really.

@nernershuman

I love this playful side of Sonia.

@simcatcher

I was dying to see Sonia like this for a while now ♥

I know! She’s like a different person. Now the challenge will be for her to show that same side after they are back home in Bridgeport!

@tyrellsimsoficeandfire

Oh, how much I had to laugh about the story with the chocolate! Arrogant but funny to read. I wonder how much of your Real life experiences/ funny stories you've heard etc you put into your sims Story😊?

Quite a lot, actually. Also when in public I am an Olympic -class eavesdropper :D 

@wannabecatwriter

Apollo should move in with Sonia's parents. In no time, he'll teach them all who's the top dog around. And Georgie probably needs some brain bleach now, doesn't she?

I don’t think there’s any way Sonia’s bigoted, right-wing parents would tolerate Apollo even setting foot on their property, which is a shame as they are of the same vintage and actually have a lot in common. LMBOOO re Georgina...

@justanothersimsblog

Roy *smh*

@ivorycrayon

Dun dun dunnnn, Georgie brings bad news because BUNTY

@simblu

Awkward....

@simblu

In a funny way..

@holleyberry

Apollo totally is part of the family, Estelle. he's not the one that needs to learn the pecking order.

@lilsisterg

LOL! The Devil! Roy is such a 12 year old. I'm glad they are having fun.

@karnzter

Wow. Estelle de Prima's a total bitch, I see. Of course Apollo IS part of the family. I can't wait what happenes once Estelle interacts with stern Constance >:)

Estelle would probably approve of Constance...until she learned of her political persuasions. Then she would  be convinced Constance was Public Enemy Number 1. At least it would take the heat off Apollo for a bit though!  

@hyperkaos

I know all *I* do is think of Roy's precious penis.

@willky12

I'm surprised, Peppermint is a well known skin irritant, but then if Roy's D doubled in size he probably wouldn't mind.....it's just all that itching.......;D

LULZ! I have a peppermint skin cream that is so amazingly soothing for sunburn...that is where my inspiration came from. And let’s assume that Sonia’s lip balm probably would not have too much actual peppermint in it. ;=) 

@willky12

It's been too long between Apollo and Constance updates, I miss them more than anyone and always wonder if Constance is still with the librarian?

@romeo-and-simulet

i live for scenes like this

@sims3hasstoppedworking

I'M SHOOKETH TOO, WHO THE FUCK THROWS AWAY CHOCOLATE??? Now I need to lay down too, I have PTSD 

@thickness1988

Roy is the worst brother ever

@romeo-and-simulet

oh man yes this would be one plot twist I'd enjoy

And they say Sims Story readers don’t enjoy drama...

@sims3hasstoppedworking

Smooth criminal :P

SMOOTH AF

@simmerjazen

lord what is he 12? LOL seriously he's nothing more than a man child sometimes.

@buckleysims

Lmao, I love Roy. :D Probably wouldn't if he was my brother though, hahaha. ♥

I think if Roy was our brother we would permanently be like this: 

@pixelcurious

Roy is incorrigible :P

@wannabecatwriter

Yeah, but at the moment, all that wonderful mahogany is somewhat occupied...

@hyperkaos

Roy really should've been named Richard.

@simcatcher

IS THAT A WAY TO INVITE HER BACK IN JOJO'S ARMS ?

@simcatcher

IF SO I TOTALLY BUY IT

@kscriba

OMG Roy is so wonderful (but not to have as a brother) (or as a husband, really) (just good to observe from afar)

@ice-creamforbreakfast

I should hate him, but Roy is just too amazing :D

@simechro

He's never gonna let her live it down, is he?

@karnzter

Heh. Mahogany. Inner saboteur Effie Trinkett realness xD

@roseoakmoonsims

Georgie could probably slap Roy on a loop for the entire duration of any time she sees him and it still wouldn't be enough.

@icy-spicy-scalpel

If Roy was my brother, he wouldn't have reached adulthood in one piece :p

@declarations-of-drama

Is that Roy's way of ensuring she doesn't take up Sonia's offer. I reckon too much time together and these siblings would actually kill each other.

There is actually a lot of love between them as well as aggravation. It’s just that Roy can’t resist teasing her- it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. If Georgie really hated Roy she would have said something to Sonia about Crystal. And I’m pretty sure Georgina will have to come to Bridgeport to visit Bunty....

@blythelyre

Oh, I seeee!!! LOL that's what I get for reading backwards!

[flamestoillusions]

All the TOV AUs I probably will never write but feel I should share just because. A lot of Yuri or fluri centric ones because Yuri is my fave. Also have talked some of these with others and don’t want them forgotten

RWBY AU

Flynn recently was accepted into Beacon Academy. During his initiation, he ends up partnered Estelle, who he knew of from his time at Sanctum. And he ends up teamed up with Judith and Yuri, the latter he hadn’t seen in years. They end making team Feijoa (FEYJ), with Flynn as their leader. But it seems there’s something amiss even amongst a ‘ordinary’ school life.

Post Game Exploration

Adjustment to life without blastia is gradual and not without their hardships. Mages and engineers are in high demand with their alternatives to the tasks blastia did. However, one immediate effect was the lack of barriers. It has caused a strain on places with no formal defense with the increase of monster attacks. This includes Dahngrest, who also has problems of their own. With the ousting of the Blood Alliance, Ruin’s Gate falling apart, and Altosk’s new leadership, they are at a disadvantage when the Empire wishes to continue their truce talks. While their pride will not allow them to fold, there seems to be plans to have the Union taken back by the Empire...but by war or negotiation?  

Time Travel AU

Where the encounter within the ruins leads to Yuri accidentally going back in time. He wakes up aboard a ship and under interrogation of a woman with hair of gold that looks awfully familiar. Or he could end up in an area where he is drafted into the knights during a time where they’re about to go to war. And by his luck Yuri ends up stuck with the last man he’d ever want to serve under.

Spy AU

Apart of a mysterious organization, Flynn and Yuri are top operatives within it. Flynn mainly gathers intel and encryption while Yuri’s main work is that of a saboteur and deep cover.  However, during an assignment, Flynn’s cover is blown and he is captured and tortured for information he has hidden. While he is recovered, Flynn loses an arm and begins to consider retiring and urges Yuri to think on it as well. Yuri, on one hand, would like to stay with Flynn even if it is transition to civilian but on the other, loves the thrill and impact of his job. He asks Flynn to give him until after his current assignments to make his decision. In the mean time, the engineer behind their gadgets, Rita, gives Flynn a new arm that he spends time in base adjusting to. While around, Flynn discovers that his downfall on his last mission may not be just bad luck. There’s a mole and if his hunch is correct, then Yuri’s assignment will be the next to be exposed.

Post Game Exploration (2)

“It’s not everywhere, but I feel like the Empire’s influence is especially strong in Ilyccia. They can do whatever they want since there aren’t any major guilds on Ilyccia.” It was something Karol told Yuri in passing. And during their adventures, Yuri’s remark to Karol’s words hadn’t changed: “We can’t just let it stay this way...” This leads to a strange proposal when Brave Vesperia convenes on what they should do next. Yuri suggests making a base on Ilyccia. It gives them a chance for new clients that can’t get help from the empire and an unique foothold on the continent.

KP AU

Yuri is a highschooler that’s on the cheer squad and fights crime on the side. Flynn, his best friend, also joins with the crime fighting between his time as honor student. They both technically have a ‘pet’ in Repede, a dog that has to stay at Flynn’s house because Yuri’s guardian is allergic. So they encounter villains such as Dr. Alexei and his henchman, Khroma.

Backstory Change AU

Where a lot of the plot of TOV goes on the same but Yuri is a bit different. He is the child of a human and a nature spirit. His mother, a ‘witch’, was killed when he was young and he was brought to Zaphias, those that brought him believing to have save Yuri from savagery. It is from this he meets Flynn, who knows of Yuri’s unusual attunement to nature and how city life worn Yuri to sickness. Yuri leaves the city, either by his father or Duke, and he meets each of the future Brave Vesperia and their honorary members on occasion until the course of the game. And it is during the game that Yuri is affected by the aer going out of control as things in nature cry out to its presence and is questioned what part of himself he wishes to side with: humanity or nature.

YouTube AU

Where Flynn and Yuri host a youtube channel that tries to do DIY projects. Flynn actually tries to get it in a decent form/instructable while Yuri says fuck it and just goes with his instincts on it. The channel started as something they did as roommates for fun but as videos progress it becomes clearer to viewers, especially those that follow their vlogs, that they’re in or falling in love with the other. 

Royalty AU

Because of prophecy or some ability, prince Flynn’s presence wasn’t regarded warmly to the point King Finath realized he could never live happily as a royal. So Flynn’s death was faked and Yuri, an assassin asked for by Finath, was charged with getting Flynn to safety. Yuri does so with Flynn never learning his savior’s name. Adopted into a foreign noble’s family, Flynn believes it is the last time he’d ever see Yuri. However, years later Flynn sets his heart into knighthood so he can bring happiness to others but not long after his enrollment, he meets Yuri again...and has the feeling that if Yuri is present, trouble must be on the horizon.

DR AU

Flynn and Yuri were good friends when they were younger and resolved to make the world a better place. Yuri asks Flynn how the would do that and Flynn tells him about Hope’s Peak and how getting through that would assure that they’d get the power to change the world. Yuri later moves away and Flynn works hard to get into Hope’s Peak and while he is above average in many aspects, he didn’t excel enough to be considered SHSL. Because of this, he enrolls into the Reserve Course and comes across Yuri, who was accepted as the SHSL Swordsman and classmates with the Vesperia crew. They reaffirm their drive to change the world but Flynn is plagued with a desire to stand as Yuri’s equal but cannot. And when the opportunity comes forward, Flynn eventually signs to the Kamukura Project.

Werewolf AU

Judith has lycanthropy running through her veins. Ba’ul is her mentor that hasn’t turned back human in years. During an outing ruined by hunters, Judith’s injured and separated from Ba’ul. She wakes up in Yuri’s care, he thinking her an animal hurt by goings on in the forest. When well enough, Judith reveals herself and soon after has to leave. However, either Yuri is a glutton for punishment or he’s cursed to end up running to her again.

Welcome to “Blue started a comic and then realized she doesn’t know how elevators are built but kept it in for a joke.”

Also the world’s most relatable first panel.

Chapter 2 is up and running!

You know that super sweet but totally insincere voice you hear in department store ads? Think of that kind of voice.

I’m aware my comic isn’t exactly flawless. But my ultimate goal is to *finish* the comic. I’ve always struggled with long-term projects. I’m happy I’ve made it thus far, and I plan to keep going.
