Earth-G7 history Note: Earth-Gerosha-7.0 ("Cataclysmic" Literary Gerosha) is a timeline of the Gerosha Multiverse, part of the greater Dozerfleet Megaverse. For more information on Dozerfleet Comics multiverse structure, see the Dozerfleet Database on Fandom.
In 1990, the Hebbleskin Gangâ„¢ put a dome around Boonville and took it hostage. They destroyed the local cemeteries, and could potentially have destroyed the entire city. However, locals Stan and Shalia Flippo - heirs of the incredible fortune of the pirate Henry Lohtz and bearers of his symbolic lightning-whelk-etched scallop shell dubbed the Gerosha Stoneâ„¢ helped the Phaelite Society of Earth and National Guard soldier Mitch Brandel to take the city back. The retreating Hebbleskins swore revenge, and the city was renamed Gerosha in honor of the cultural momentum that Stan and Shalia used to build a resistance and take the city back. Maple Grove Cemetery was rebuilt as the Gerosha Cemetery, with new mausoleums and attractions added built from Stan's massive fortune. They got in good with several key religious leaders and conservative culture warriors, such as Billy Graham and Phyllis Schalfly.
However, the prosperity and Bible Belt wholesomeness the Flippos brought to their redeemed city, and their city-on-a-hill ambitions, didn't last.
Their oldest son, Reily Flippo, became distracted and apathetic due to his materialistic attraction to the wealth and fame he soon earned as a celebrity chef. Stan and Shalia's adopted daughter, Erin Wyer-Flippo, was plagued with numerous physical and mental health problems. Their friend Imaki Izuki ran into some difficulty by 1992, when changes to immigration law complicated his chances of getting a green card - requiring him to get frequent visa renewals while returning to Japan. Donations from Stan and Shalia ensured Imaki never had to worry about money; but his unorthodox methods made an increasingly jumpy and growing government bureaucratic machine nervous.
In 1994, Stan Flippo completed construction of the Triangulum, and also enabled the Phaelite Society of Earth to become a liaison between Phaeleel and the US National Guard dubbed the "Security-Centric Alliance Lending and Learning Of Phaelites" (SCALLOP for short.) Stan's half-clone son with the Phaelite scientist Insila Murtillo, Darius Philippine, initially set up a headquarters for SCALLOP in nearby Evansville. However, the rigors of life and the temptations of fame and power resulted in Darius losing his way. He furthermore moved SCALLOP's main operations to Texas when the agency gained its first submarine aircraft carrier, dubbed the Chen after a mythical clam monster from Chinese mythology. A Houston base made it easier for him to keep tabs on the Chen and its crew, stationed in the Gulf of Mexico.
By 1998, left-wing activists descended on Gerosha with white-hot passion, vowing to undermine and destroy the "offensive" culture that Stan and Shalia had cultivated there. Worse: some of them even sympathized with the Hebbleskins, to the point of colluding and conspiring with them.
In September of 1999, Shalia gave birth to triplets Candice, Miriam, and Marina. However, an experiment performed many years earlier on Stan against his will by unethical Phaelites resulted in his daughters developing the Centhuen Prototype program - enabling each of them with the potential to become "5%" centipede. Darius stated that if any of the girls manifested properly, said girl needed to be honed as an option for SCALLOP in its continued war on the Hebbleskins - compounded by a growing alliance between the Hebbleskins and a rising Anglo-Italian political death cult known as the Society of the Icy Finger. Imaki looked over the girls, and quickly noticed that Candi showed the most signs of manifesting the genetic program. She'd most likely get the powers, with her centipede DNA bonded to the Marlquaanâ„¢ in space. Miriam and Marina's programs appeared to be mostly dormant, meaning they could pretend to be ordinary and still hope to live ordinary lives.
In 2006, the Hebbleskins sent an assassin along with then-junior scout Gunner Soorfelt to avenge Fantisk and Luddin from 1990. They vowed they'd one day collect the heads of Shalia's daughters as trophies for new leader Duke Arfaas Hebbleskin. But in the short run, they seized advantage of a security flaw to run Stan and Shalia off the road into a ditch - killing them.
Reily was supposed to gain custody of his sisters; but he reneged on his promise, to focus on his own family and travels. Erin used her share of the inheritance to purchase the house on 1205 N. 1st. St. in 2007 (first available screenshot in Google Street View.) The garage was falling apart, and needed to be removed. In spite having millions of dollars, Erin chose to keep a low profile and act like a middle-class nobody. She reinforced in her sisters the ethic their parents had taught them: "Always live a little beneath your means."
While Darius wanted Candi taught to be a black ops soldier and cold assassin, Imaki used his position as her godfather to train her to think and behave more like a traditional comic book superhero - even going so far as to draft suit designs for her. He wanted some nobility and empathy in his goddaughter - attributes he feared Darius had lost sight of. Imaki also feared for the girls' future. Stan chose them over Darius, and Darius grew bitter with jealousy, blaming the girls for Stan's death.
Imaki and Erin gained joint custody of Candi, while Erin had full custody of Miriam and Marina. Candi would spend the next 8 years of her life (partially) growing up inside 1205 N. 1st. St., seeing the world around her spiral out of control with violence, nihilism, and cultural demoralization. Her powers manifested in full in 6th grade, when Don "the Psycho" Mendoza attacked her in a Gerosha Middle School shower stall and she fought him off. Miriam manifested incredible talent as a hacker instead, and Marina became a talented guitar player that joined an indie band. Candi tried hard to do right by everyone and make everyone important in her life happy. But one fateful (and steamy) afternoon alone with her (forbidden) boyfriend on October 15th of 2015 - the one time she chose to be selfish - soon made the arrival of WWIII that much more personal; when it led to the uprooting of her entire life as she knew it.
Put into an impossible situation that led to her being railroaded into prison, Candi got out only to discover that the nefarious quasi-Islamic fanatic / militant Halal Affadidah had teamed up with the Icy Finger to conquer 1/4 of America in 2018. The 2016 elections never happened in this timeline, as Icy Finger leader Warren "Rappaccini" Buntine ensured both Trump and Hillary were assassinated.
Candi would have to move to Texas - where she was bound to face persecution from her half-brother - in order to escape a war zone of drugs and cannibalism. In 2019, the house on 1st St. was destroyed by Affadidah's Krokodil-addicted goon squads. Erin didn't survive the encounter. Candi was living in an underground bunker at the time with Imaki and her new boyfriend / fiance, Donte McArthur. As well as new friend Dolly Malestrom. Marina fled with her new husband Matt and son Andy in the nick of time. Miriam was made a fugitive on the run, along with her new boyfriend Phil Couric. Worse: Miriam's only chance to survive was to sell her service and secrets to the Chinese in exchange for refuge - if they'd let her!
In the 2050s, Candi's children John and Dana returned to the since-reclaimed lands, and vowed to rebuild Gerosha / Boonville - including Erin's house.
TL;DR version: Ciem grew up in this house initially, watched over by her adoptive older sister, Erin Flippo.
Approximate real-world accuracy: 78% - -> Notes on accuracy:
Lacks walk-out basement due to software limitations
L-shaped stairway in entry room impossible in-game
Pantry room redesigned to accommodate game engine demands
Upstairs bathroom design based on speculation
Study changed to a fitness room
Marina's bedroom being in the basement was based on at-the-time speculation, brought on by lack of useful photos on Realtor's website.
Basketball court replaces gazebo
Yard landscaping kept to a minimum due to lot size, actual lot has more bushes and sculpting - some of which was impossible in-game at the time of generation.
Actual closet sizes and shapes were impossible in-game and were replaced with analogs compatible with the game.
Roof shape has been altered, since original shape didn't cooperate with the game's engine.
