WHAT IS THIS CRUXISA THING ABOUT ANYWAYS
So,if you've been noticing on plurk for the last several weeks, there's been something called Cruxisa being mentioned among the players of Paradisa, including myself. A lot of people have been asking me what the deal with it is about, so let me explain it to you, because we would really love some more people to play around with if you're interested!
Back during the Nightmare plot, the Tales of Symphonia cast made a nightmare post in which the main villain of the series, Mithos Yggdrasil, was brought to Paradisa and basically started messing a whole lot of things up- first, he took over the castle, and second, he started turning everyone he could get his hands on into angels with the power of something called Cruxis Crystals. Now, the angels of Tales of Symphonia are not your regular choir-singing harp-strumming guides of everything that is good. No, these are lifeless, unfeeling, killing machines, and the only way to return them back to their former selves is through something called a keycrest, which returns their personality to them but has no way of returning them to the human beings they once were.
Cruxisa expands on that post, and takes place two years after the invasion of Paradisa- most of the characters trying to gather enough resistance to go against Mithos and save the people who are still angelified over in the castle. You can have your character be a survivor who is trying to go against Mithos with the resistance, a former angel who was keycrested but now has to deal with the fact that sleeping and eating and things like that are pretty much absent from their life, or an angel still under Mithos' control.
Basically,
cruxisa is a Paradisa AU musebox which anyone in Paradisa can join! As long as you have a character in game or formerly played a character in game, you can play them over at Cruxisa! That's all the requirements you need. There is also no AC, and you can tag and make posts at your leisure- it's just a musebox to have fun, really.
And if you don't want to join, that's fine with us too! It's a completely optional thing, after all.
For more information about the musebox and it's setting and what the deal is with angels and all that, go over here. To see the characters already in game, and fill out a form for your character that just outlines what they've been through in that setting, go over here.
Anyways, just wanted to inform you all about it, and we'd love to have you if you do decide to join!

They definitely don't have to be! Though in the end, Mithos will probably stab them in the back because he's just crazy evil that way. He's very charismatic and would have persuaded people to help him take over the castle in the first place, but in the end, he'll care about himself and himself only.
So, yes, you could totally have Hank align with Mithos! Just be warned that Mithos is not the best with working with others for a very long time.
