Description:	Multi-fandom RP dealing with memory loss

About

CONCEPT

Memento Eden is a multifandom RP taking place in a world caught between the threads of time. It should not have existed, and, indeed, it would have disappeared but for the chance appearance of people who, torn from their worlds, decided to make this world their own. Now, there is a budding village built around a small lake, and all who get pulled into this world -- the world most now refer to as "Memento Eden" -- are drawn there.

Funny, though, how everyone seems to lose their memories...

ROLEPLAY FEATURES

→ Characters live in a small, developing town called "Memento Eden", named after the world in which it is situated.

→ Characters may find jobs, get money, and buy things. For more information, see this post.

→ All characters lose their memories when they wind up here.

→ Yes, all their memories (except their names, preferably just first names) including family, friends, not-so-basic knowledge (ie, they'd still be able to count/add/etc, but not perform things like rocket science or whatnots even if they could before).

→ Motor skills, instinctive fighting skills, and things like that are unaffected. This is because they don't use the same part of the brain as normal memory. However, let's say that a certain master swordsman was also a brilliant strategist -- he would no longer strategize in ways that are not based purely off of instinct, until he learns to again.

→ However, learned magic, techniques, alchemy, etc, cannot be done until remembered. Heck, unless they naturally have magic where they didn't need to learn spells, they won't even know that they have them.

→ Yes, it's a little unfair towards non-physical characters. Such is life. At least rest in the knoweldge that the less physical ones are usually smarter and might do better?

→ Characters will also lose a very important object. If they have none, they can lose an important memory instead, one that they can't regain until the very end. (More about regaining memories in a bit.)

→ Characters' personalities do not change. A person's basic personality is generally the same, regardless of whether they remember certain events or not (or, in many cases, even whether the events happened or not). Also, keep in mind that the events in their pasts have happened and thus have made their impact already. And besides, if someone doesn't act like himself/herself, how can you say that it is that person? (And what would be the point of roleplaying said person?)

→ Characters cannot be killed. Or rather, they can, provided the victim's mun agrees. However, they will not die forrever, but be taken to our resident NPC cleric, where they will be resurrected. The resurrection process is explained here. The killer, however, will go on trial and mostly likely be thrown in jail. As such, please inform the mods first if anyone plans to kill anyone else, even if it is agreed upon between the players.

→ About regaining memories... the primary form of memory gain is by participating in events, IC and OOC. When there aren't events around, small contests and raffles are held instead.

→ Once a character remembers the thing they had lost, they may search for it. However, they won't be able to find anything until they get all their memories back, in which they'll find a cave. But, shh, they don't know that.

→ The cave will be a semi-customized TADS game. More information here.

→ Once a character regains everything, they may return to their world, if they wish.

→ Time is stopped in Memento Eden. Somewhat. A character will live and grow and whatnots, but things will revert once they return to their world; no time will have passed, as if nothing had happened. (Think The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe if anyone has seen/read it.)

→ Not all events are for the purpose of memory regains. Sometimes, crack events and strange things happen just for the sake of happening.

RULES

→ Please use proper grammar and spelling.

→ Please be polite to each other. Of course you can joke around, but keep in mind that some people may not see it as such, especially people who don't know you well. Use common sense about what to say.

→ Godmodding is not allowed. That means no controlling someone else's character, even if indirectly. For example, pulling someone towards something is fine, since it's their choice whether they actually go there or not, but pulling them to something is not, since you are, in a way, moving their characters. The only exception is if the other character's mun gives permission.

→ No... super-strong unblockable attacks or whatnots.

→ Speaking of which, don't dodge attacks that probably should have landed.

→ If you have a problem with a mun's conduct, try to take it up with them first. Only bring a problem to a mod if you can't resolve it amongst yourselves. Characterization problems may be reported here (for ordinary muns) or here (for mod-controlled characters).

→ Pairings! Any/all pairings are allowed, but please ask the mun of your character's object of affection first before assuming they'll go along with it.

→ Please keep all R or NC-17 materials under lock and key. ...Well, f-lock and cut.

→ You may initially apply for up to 5 characters, but try to make sure you have time to play them all. If a character has been inactive for four weeks without a confirmable announced hiatus, they will be placed on the probation list, where they may be taken if someone else wants them. You will have to give a good explanation if you would like them back. Details on hiatus and expanding the character limit are here.

→ There can only be one of each character as a default. We may make exceptions if you really want to RP a different version of an existing character. However, to do that, you must get permission from both a mod and the person who first has the character.

→ If anyone wishes to play a character that has already been played in the past (but is now dropped), they may either start over or pick up where the previous mun left off, in the latter case provided they know at least the basics of what happened before.

→ OCs are severely discouraged. They may be allowed if they're fleshed out, have a solid background, are not Mary Sues, and a million other things. You will also need a writing sample (1000+ words) featuring that character which includes dialogue and actions. Please speak to the mods before applying for one. You will have a better chance getting your OC approved if they are not a part of an existing fandom.

→ You may apply as any character from any series/work/etc, but it must be a fictional character. We do not allow real people.

→ Character reserving is allowed. More information on the reservation post.

→ Please put the characters' full profiles in their profiles. You might want to white out the spoilers with [font color="#FFFFFF"][/font](replace brackets with html tags), but it's not required. (IE, read profiles at your own risk! But they're important for people who do not know your characters and want to find out.)

→ Please also put some kind of contact info in the character profiles. It may be difficult to contact you otherwise.
