INTRODUCTION . ✗

At the heart of the multiverse, in the place where all realities converge, there is a world. It is at once everything and nothing; glorious and graceless; soulful and heartless. Some call it Heaven. Others call it Hell. Its name for itself is Paradisa.

Paradisa is a world of perfect beauty. There is no ugliness apparent anywhere within it. Weather is picturesque any given time of the year, and the skies mostly clear throughout the day, with stars and galaxies and the huge, blue moon appearing at night. It seems that nothing could disturb the peace of this place... and yet, if one is able to look deeper, to part the veils of deception that the world layers over its people's minds, one would discover a seething, roiling darkness at the heart of the world; a darkness that craves souls and memory and desire. No paradise is without flaw.

The nature of Paradisa is to draw those from other worlds into itself; that is how it survives. It gives these forced immigrants a place to live — a beautiful, luxuriant castle with endless floors and chambers, turrets and spires. From the outside, it is not apparent just how large Cair Paradisa is; it is only when one enters the castle that one realizes that it is far larger on the inside than it appears to be on the outside.

The inhabitants of the castle can have anything their hearts desire. Endless food and drink and entertainment are available both within the castle and in the quaint and lovely city that surrounds it. Furthermore, they cannot die. Being "killed" merely leads them to be returned to life a mere matter of weeks later (although not without Paradisa having stolen a fraction of their soul).

There is a price to be paid, however, for endless bounty. Upon arriving in Paradisa, the Travelers (as the people native to the world refer to them) have something precious stripped from them, torn away irrevocably by the darkness that lies at the heart of paradise. Whether this be a priceless item, the memory of one's own true love, one's capability to feel a certain emotion... such depends on the person. It is always something without which the Traveler will suffer in some fashion; for the world feeds on the Travelers' suffering, as well.

Furthermore, the Travelers quickly discover that they cannot return to their worlds of origin. The road to Paradisa only leads in one direction.

So be welcome to paradise. And be wary that things are never as they seem.

RULES . ✗

x. Don't be an ass. Flames, drama, and the like will get you banned.
x. There is a character limit of fifteen per person.
x. When applying for a character, you must a valid, working email address. If your application is missing a valid email, you will be declined.
x. While it's not mandatory, it'd be helpful if you apply with your personal journal if you have one to avoid confusion. Do not send applications in with a journal you made prior to acceptance.
x. Do not use samples from AU settings in your application. Use samples from canon scenarios.
x. Do not make your character journal prior to being approved or apply with it under the assumption that you'll be approved. Sorry to say, but you never do know for sure if you'll be approved for that character.
x. Characters from virtually any fandom are acceptable. Movies, TV shows, anime, manga, games, comics, books... you name it. If you're really unsure about something, you can always ask a mod.
x. Duplicates will be allowed if there is a BIG difference between the characters. For example, if someone picks up Primera from Tsubasa, someone else can pick up Primera from Magic Knight Rayearth; since they're both extremely different. If you have any doubts, email the mods.
x. No godmoding. This means no controlling other people's characters. Another condition that can get you banned.
x. In a similar vein, don't tell people what they should do with their characters. Plot suggestions are okay, but never say "your character has to do x." You'll get yelled at.
x. Please, please, please stay as in-character as possible. If the mods catch you acting out of character, you will receive a warning, and if it goes on, there is a possibility that your character may be taken away from you.
x. This RP allows both het and slash. HOWEVER. Do not make a character gay just for the OMG HAWT BUTTSECKS. Please. It's not cool. At all.
x. Canon is to be respected at all times. If your character has a canon romance or friendship, you are expected to acknowledge that relationship, even if you don't like the other character involved. That doesn't mean that canon relationships can't fall apart, but there needs to be a good reason for them to do so.
x. On that note, don't alter your character's personality to get a pairing you want. It's stupid and we'll contact you about it.
