( List of Characters Living in the Upper Level. )

Okay everyone!

Here is the place you can post on to tell us what characters you would like to see someone playing on this game! ^^

Please use the following format to post:

Character's name (First name first, please), Requested by: (name, LJ, etc.) <b>Character's fandom:</b>

After you post, your comments will serve as the list for other people to look at. Requests will be deleted after approximately a month.

Please do not comment with a request such as: "requesting any (insert fandom here) characters!" Be specific. Such requests will be ignored.

Have fun!

1. Where is my character?
In the city of Purgatorium. It is not a happy place to be; the streets are empty, the decor bland and the town itself borders on flat out darkness. There is nothing remarkable about Purgatorium; it is meant to increase madness with its nothingness.

2. Why is my character there?
All are sent to Purgatorium in order to redeem themselves for past transgressions. It matters not whether they are already dead or still alive--if their sins have caught the eyes of the Gods, then they are brought to the despairing city to stay until they have earned forgiveness.

3. Can my character leave?
Not until the Gods declare them as redeemed. Attempts prior to that are fruitless; magical barriers block any possible exit.

4. Can my character die?
Yes. Being in Purgatorium does not mean they are immortal; all inhabitants are fully capable of dying. However, if they do die, they shall not only come back to life, but will find that they are then missing an important memory from their past. Every time they die, they shall come back and shall lose another part of their memory, until they forget everything and know only Purgatorium. Note: These 'important memories' are memories of their time before Purgatorium.

5. Will my character know why they are here?
Yes. Seeing as the player knows why their character is there, you can assume that your character has asked the Gods and received the appropriate answer. (The Gods will not lie, fyi.)

6. Who is doing this?
Medea and Asclepius, the Gods, ultimate beings who are capable of anything. They feel that those who have wronged should set things right again and should not be able to escape that.

7. Why are there some with only minor sins present, whilst others with greater sins are not in the city?
Because you applied for a weak-sinned character. The Gods do not choose based upon the weight of the sin, but rather who they think would fare most interestingly within the city. This sometimes means that those with only slight sins find themselves in Purgatorium.

8. What can my character expect in the Purgatorium?
To struggle. Purgatorium is not a paradise; they will not find things easily. The city itself houses only the bare necessities to keep a person alive, so everything else will have to be found, created or otherwise obtained. (To clarify: please don't think your character can just come in and not have to worry about finding work, food or shelter. Such things are not offered freely and must be obtained through hard work.)

9. Is [insert currency here] accepted in Purgatorium?
No. Any money from any world brought into the city is completely worthless and thus everyone starts out broke. If you want your character to have money, they will have to get some sort of job and earn it.

10. Will there be events in Purgatorium?
From time to time, there will be scheduled events. Everyone will be told of them well ahead of time, so that all can prepare. Please note that participating in these events is entirely optional. If you don't want your character to get involved in something, then you don't have to.

11. What is the city like?
Purgatorium is separated into two sections: the ground level and the upper level. All characters will first arrive in the ground level; it is a dirty, rotting place that contains next to nothing. The upper level is a better; it possesses running water, electricity, nicer homes, light, and leisure activities that the lower level severely lacks (restaraunts, amusement park, movies, more stores, etc). One can live a relatively normal life on the upper level. The lower level has no light what so ever. The only buildings that have light are those places of business that have earned it and pay the Gods monthly for it. Note: Due to in-game improvements, the lower level now has bath houses (for a fee), and some of the homes have been reconstructed with wood-burning fireplaces and to provide better shelter. The lower level is still without electricity at this point in time.

12. How does my character move from the lower level of the city to the upper level?
1.) They must have resided in Purgatorium for at least a month. 2.) Your character must have a job of some sort; while it's sort of every man for himself on the lower level as far as housing goes, you will be required to pay rent in the upper level, or risk being kicked out. 3.) You must be working on your sin, so to speak; or, at the very least, you must be showing a significant attempt to live a happy life in Purg. All caught trying to sneak their way into the upper level will be immediately returned to the lower level and banned from consideration for moving up for a period of time that will be determined by the Gods. (To apply or see a current list of upper level residents, please go here!)

13. What about health care?
There are both doctors and medicines available in the upper level, but neither of these come cheaply. Even your average pain reliever will cost your character a fair amount of money. The only available health care in the lower level is that set up by doctors who have also ended up in Purgatorium, and the care they are able to offer is extremely limited.

14. My character has [insert magical ability here]. Can s/he use them in Purgatorium?
No. The use of any sort of magic is strictly forbidden within Purgatorium. Your characters will find that, if they try to use magic, nothing happens. Consider them effectively Silenced. (Note: If you character moves to the upper level, they may use their magic again. However, this will be immediately taken away should they kill another person for any reasons other than protecting their life or the life of someone else, or otherwise severely abuse their powers.) Now, we realize many characters have a wide variety of abilities, so if you are unsure as to what your character can keep and what they are not allowed to have, just ask!

15. My character has [insert non-magical ability here]. Can s/he use them in Purgatorium?
Most non-magical techniques are allowed, such as the ability to see traps or read minds, as long as they are within reason. If your character's technique would heal them or others, then it is not allowed. Likewise if it turned them into some sort of god character in terms of strength and/or ability. If you have questions regarding abilities and/or weapons, please ask. Likewise, if your character is one that does not have any means to protect themselves, the Gods - if asked - are willing to grant some sort of protection for them (extension of abilities, weapons, etc).

16. My character suffers from [insert disease/disability/injury here]. Will s/he still have it in Purgatorium?
In most instances, yes. As long as it is not immediately life threatening or would prevent them from suffering, then their problem will remain. (Examples of things that would be healed before entering Purgatorium include: fatal wounds received prior to entering and the inability to feel pain.) However, for all impairments that remain, such as blindness or deafness, there are cures that can be found in the upper levels of the city.

17. Are there monsters in the city?
In the lower level, monsters are quite common. In the upper level, monsters are quite rare and strong, but those that can be found and defeated will leave items for their slayer(s) that can be sold at very high prices. In both cases, the monsters are simply ones taken from other worlds, so don't be surprised if your character encounters a familiar foe.

18. How do the characters communicate within Purgatorium?
There are computers set up throughout the city for free use by all. They come equipped only with the journaling system, however; they are a means of communication, not of play and thus your characters are forbidden from things like googling, shopping or otherwise playing around.

19. What is time/day system like?
It is your average schedule; twenty-four hours in a day, half of which is light and half of which is dark. Please note, however, that daytime in the lower level is still extremely dark--you want sunshine, you must reach the upper level. (Also, it is to be noted that Purgatorium has all four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.) Also, everyone is on the same schedule.

20. What kind of work can be obtained in the lower levels?
The most available work is maintenance--helping rebuild houses and fixing things enough so that they don't completely fall apart. There is also the option of working in any of the shops--the shops in the lower level are basic; you can buy food, but not the already prepared sort and you can buy material for clothes, but not pre-made clothes and such on. Another option is to join the guard--that which roams the lower levels, defeating monsters and making sure that rules are not broken. Lastly, your character can simply settle for doing odd jobs required by other characters.

21. What is the journaling system like?
Like Livejournal, I would imagine, only limited to people in Purgatorium. This means that, yes, others can see your user pics when posting. All journal entries are generally written out, but they may also be turned into voice posts. If you wish to do this, simply put 'Voice Post' or some such in your subject line.

22. Is there a list of wanted characters I might check to see if I'm interested in any of them?
Yes, you happen to be so lucky that a fellow resident asked for one to be created! And here it is! You can come here to check the list or ask for someone to be in it, as well.

23. Why can't my character find the shops in the lower level?
Possibly because the location of the shops change from time to time. It will be in one area one moment and in another the next. Please note that the time frame for this is entirely random and unpredictable. Also note that only the NPC shops relocate randomly. Shops created by characters remain in one place. If you're curious to know if your character can find something in an NPC shop, please ask.

24. Is there a limit to how many characters I can play?
We currently have no limit on the number of characters a person may apply for and play, nor do we have any plans on ever enforcing such a rule. Some people simply have the time to play ten characters, while others can only handle one or two; so long as you're active with them, we don't care. :) Please note, there are rules to having more than one character; you can find those rules on the Application Page.

25. What are the rules regarding going on hiatus?
We understand that life happens (holidays, finals, peak seasons at work, emergencies, burnout, NaNo, etc.) that people just get busy and RP is a low priority. Should such a situation arise, you're more than welcome to take a hiatus as opposed to dropping completely. Notes on hiatuses can be found on the Hiatus Page. Please pay careful attention to those rules; failure to follow some of them could accidentally get your characters kicked.

26. My character was kicked for inactivity!! May I reapply for him/her?
Yes, however, you must wait two weeks before reapplying. This is to give someone else a chance to app for them. If the same character gets kicked for inactivity twice, you will not be allowed to reapply a third time.

27. Am I allowed to apply for two characters in the same fandom?
This is another rule that we do not have. If you wish to take up two or more characters from any given series, we're totally cool with that.

28. What about applying for original characters?
OCs are allowed, but we're a bit stricter with their applications. Any notice of god-modding or mary-sue'ing and we will reject them. If your OC is somehow related to a fandom (ie: OC is from the FF7 fandom and resides in Midgar), you may not have them be related in any way to a canon character. No Sephiroth's daughter, no Cloud's long-lost-sister, no Vincent's cousin's-sister's-dog's-husband's-roommate. They may reside in towns within that canon, and even have heard of those canon characters, but are not permitted to be related or alter the history of canon in any way.

29. Can my character start their own company?
Yes! Citizens of both the lower level and the upper level are welcomed to start their own organisation. And, so long as it's something for the betterment of the city, the Gods will even help out. The deal offered to such citizens is always the same: the Gods will provide what is absolutely necessary to get started (not what will make it fun or easy) in exchange for payment once money starts to come in. (And, once the character has shown they will stick with their business and are making a profit, the Gods will be more lenient in what they will offer, so long as they are still paid back.)

30. I dropped a character, and decided I want them back. Do I need to reapply?
In most instances, no. However, you can't just pick them back up. Please contact a mod (purg.mod@gmail.com) and let us know, and we'll give you the Okay to pick the character back up without re-applying.

31. My old application disappeared off of the applications page!
This likely happened because you dropped the character and we did a cleanup sweep of the applications page. It gets massive very quickly, so once in awhile, the mods go through and delete the apps of any characters no longer in the game.

32. I play Character A. Character B and C have a conversation marked as private and unhackable in my journal. Can I, as the journal owner, still view it?
Any and all comments made in a journal are hackable to the owner of the journal. This means they can view even private conversations made between others, if they look for them. It's very possible to skip over a conversation because they don't stop to see if there's one there. This gives you/your character an excuse to not see a conversation, if you so choose, in their own journal.

Please, make sure to copy this list and paste it here quite often.

If you are trying to add everyone at once, you'll get an error from LJ saying that you're trying to add too many friends at once. For this reason, we've split the friends add into three sections. You'll need to add one section and then return later to add another section, and such forth and so on. Every weekend, we post that week's friends add/removes, so you shouldn't need to keep hassling with this page after the initial adding of friends. ;)

If your character has just been accepted or if you are dropping a character, please comment on this entry in the following format:

friend add characterjournal (if you have just been accepted)

friend remove characterjournal (if you are dropping a character)

Thank you.

RULES ON APPLYING FOR MULTIPLE CHARACTERS

ONE. We do not have a character limit in Purgatorium. However, once you reach five characters, things start to get a little tougher. Please note that after you reach the first five characters, you may only apply for one character a week after that.

TWO. Activity checks are performed on a weekly basis. We check everyone's journals to ensure they're being active. If your character has not updated within the last week, their name will be placed on the activity check. You then have one week to update for them, otherwise they will be dropped from the game. In addition, characters who have been on an activity check three times in a row will automatically be dropped on the third time, no questions asked.

If you have any further questions, feel free to step over to the FAQ. More information on activity checks and hiatuses can be located there.


If you are accepted, please reply to the acceptance with your character’s journal.

Do not forget to also reply with that journal on the Friends Add, Taken Characters and in case you have reserved the character post there as well saying you were accepted.

Please be aware, Purgatorium is a fast-moving game and requires almost daily attention to keep up properly. If you're looking for a slow-paced game, this might not be the one for you.

Thank you and have fun!

I. Don’t suck. By that we mean what you all know by heart already. But let us refresh your memory, shall we?

II. Use proper grammar. Use the correct verb tenses on the correct entries. Do not use bright coloured fonts. If you need, use spell check to make sure your grammar is correct. Remember, if nothing else, Word if your friend. ♥

III. Try to keep IC (in character) as much as you can. We know everyone has different views on the characters, but there is a LIMIT to how much you can differ from common sense.

IV. Remember to keep the emo/drama outside of the community and to a minimum. Contact a mod if you need anything, but please, do not come to us saying how bad person A or person B is without even talking to them and trying to solve your problem with them first.

V. If too many people have a problem on the way you play a certain character try to change it. After all, if they are so many, chances are, they are right. If you still don’t feel comfortable, drop that character and get another one you feel more at ease with. It will save you some headaches and allow others to pick the character you were having problems with.

VI. Also, OOC (out of character) is different than IC, so, if, for some reason, you don’t feel comfortable with something OOC do NOT pass it to your character as well. Had a bad day? Everyone has those. Just please, don’t make your always happy-go-lucky character turn into a devil and destroy half of the place, will you? The Gods won't be happy and neither will we.

VII. This also means, no godmodding or meta-gaming. For those who do not know what this is, godmodding is moving and doing things to someone else’s character without their agreement and meta-gaming is making your character know things that he would have no possibility of knowing just because it has been discussed OOC with you (the player).

VIII. This community is not age rated so everyone can join. However, remember to write all the warnings and ratings your logs have and keep everything maturely rated Friends Locked. Also, this community is het and slash (male/male and female/female) friendly. If you do cannot stand this, then you might as well leave, now.

IX. Update at least every week. Inactivity checks will take place every once in a while and those who haven't updated for a week will have their character taken away. By updating we mean the character’s journal.

X. So far, there is no limit to how many characters you can have. However, this rule might suffer changes in the future.

Also, OC's are welcomed. They can be part of a fandom but not connected to anyone in that fandom. (For example, if you have an original character from the Final Fantasy 7 world, it can't be Cloud's son or Sephiroth's cousin or Red XIII's great grand son or Aeris' lost sister or something like that. It wouldn't be able to be part of the Turks or Avalanche either, just someone who was there, in one of the cities, or maybe even a SOLDIER, since you don't know much about them so there wouldn't be breaking canon.)

XI. To speak OOC, for introductions, hiatus notices or plot making, please go to purgatorium_ooc. For logs, go to purgatorium_log. For notices from the mods please check apurgatorium often.

XII. For more questions please check the FAQ and, if it still doesn’t help, contact a mod.

XIII. Have as much fun as you can and allow others to as well. After all, what is the point in RPing if not for fun?
