Hi Para, I'm Amanda (or Manda, if you prefer. I don't really care either way)! I was here before with one of those dumb kids with the colored text and now I'm back with a completely different character! This time I'll be playing Tali from Mass Effect. She will be hailing from the end of Mass Effect 2, following Shepard's paragon route.

For those not familiar with the series, Tali is the tech-savy alien of the quarian race. She is Forever stuck in her enviro-suit because her race has an incredibly low immune system and without it she'd be a miserable, feverish, itchy lady. As her loss she has lost all memories and knowledge of the geth and won't even be able to understand the word through her helmet if others were to bring them up. It's not up yet, but more information on her as well as her race will be placed under her profile link on the taken page once I throw in a little more information!

As for me, I can be found on plurk under battlepanties! Feel free to add me if you want :)

Hello Paradisa! I'm Jaina, and I'm not entirely new to the game—a couple of years ago I was here with Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. This time around, I've brought Maria Thorpe Thorpe from Assassin's Creed. She's English and spent the last eight years as a soldier in the Third Crusade (think Robin Hood-era) after temporarily pretending to be a man in order to join up. She was also the steward to the grandmaster of the Knights Templar (think The Bad Guys, at least in the AssCreeds), but a few weeks prior to her canon point she ditched them in a real "You can't fire me, I QUIT!" way.

Other notable Maria facts include: she's from the year 1191, so she's way behind on the technology front and I look forward to culture shock hilarity; she's very good at escaping kidnappers/jailers/etc., but kind of bad at avoiding getting captured in the first place; and she has the guts to kick philosophy-spouting master assassins in the face.



Like this!

For those more familiar with the AC series, Maria is specifically from a little bit after the end of Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, so she knows more about the Assassins in general and is road-tripping with one as her travel buddy, but conceiving children on towers is a long way off.

If you'd like to add me on plurk, please feel free to mosey on over to [plurk.com profile] effervescible, but I'm happy to plot and chatter over PMs/AIM/whatever else works. I'm glad to be here!

WHOAAAA SOFT REBOOT PROPOSAL


Yes, the time is finally here. The proposal team (which is made up of people with laughably busy schedules) has finally finished enough of the reboot pages to post it to the public and get all of you kids on the same page as us. We will not be conducting any official poll over this; it's going to be implemented in March, but we want to put the proposal up BEFORE then so that we've got everyone on board!

If you're not up to speed on what the reboot is about, you can check out my summary right over here.

So let's check out the stock!

MORE OR LESS FINISHED:
  • PROFILE PAGE | The new profile page. Graphics/colours negotiable. New description and new navigation panel –– no more site map! Everything available in one place!
  • ABOUT THE GAME | Updated to give a better overview of Paradisa. Consider this an "ATP Advertisement" page.
  • GAME RULES & GUIDELINES | clarified code of conduct, clarified "who can I apply as" information.
  • APPLICATIONS | All updates to this are detailed here.
  • REBOOT LOG | I don't know how long this page will stick around for, but for the time being it's just something of a list of changes/removals.
  • LIFE IN THE CASTLE | This page is still under construction, but it will be a general page describing life in the castle, different plots, all the things that a resident might learn in their first week. This is to help acclimatize characters and their players to the setting!
  • EXPEDITIONS BEYOND | Lots of things to do here, but this page will help new characters/players be more aware of the expedition system and how it works.
  • FLOOR MAP | A new floor map! Much has been moved around/reorganized, though the characters' names are obviously out of date. The towers are open again, and that's where you'll find all the specialty rooms. Please note the new rooms!
  • CASTLE ROOMS | All the public rooms in the castle! We decided to build this more like a "visualosities" with short text descriptions so the rooms become less subject to decay. More pictures are waiting to be added.
  • CASTLE GROUNDS | Still needs a bit of padding, but is otherwise mostly finished; you'll note that we removed a lot of long-forgotten or seldom-used aspects.
  • THE CITY ROYALE | Big one!!!! Also works like a visualosities, but we will be adding more text to explain life, culture and so on in the city to really drive home what life is like in a medieval fairytale city. We've done some snippets of "interviews" with people in town to get an idea of what the city folk are like as people, too.
  • WORLD MAP | This is a fairly old one, actually, but I don't know that it was ever published. We're still hammering out some geographical details for most of the regions but this isn't a time-sensitive priority.
  • CASTLENET | Cleaned up, email and spam removed; mostly just a list of games characters who are web-savvy can play. I'm also going to add in the Lobby Computer, but you'll see what that is later.
  • STAR CHART | The star chart returns, more beautiful than ever! Some of you might remember this, but we actually have a "sky map" for Paradisa so that residents who have a proclivity towards looking up know what they're seeing. Neat way to tell you're in another universe, huh?


PAGES STILL IN NEED OF OVERHAUL/REORGANIZATION/UPDATE:
  • LOSSES | Largely unchanged but will be tweaked for technicalities.
  • WISHES | This page may be collapsed into "Life in the Castle", but it at the very least will be cleaned up.
  • RESIDENT PROPERTIES | Still in need of brushing up/overhaul, but residents will only be able to own property if they are listed here. If you are not there, please comment over there soon to be sure that you're accounted for.
  • BESTIARY | Overhauled! While we have decided to not catalogue regular pets like dogs and cats, we think it's important that we know how many weird fantasy beasts belong to residents. We've also gotten rid of a lot of legacy in-jokes (like the velociraptor that lives in the woods) simply because they're reaaaally dated. However, instead, we've introduced local wildlife! This page may be tweaked a little yet, too, perhaps by putting pets and wild animals on different pages :)


Please let me know what you think, and by all means, feel free to contribute! We'd welcome anyone who'd like to offer Paradisa some visual overhaul as well, or any of that fun stuff.

Cheers!
Your loving helper,
Jenn
