Newbies everywhere

[paradisamods]

It happens so suddenly that it takes you a moment to register it. One minute you know exactly where you are and the next you are somewhere else entirely. High ceilings, lush carpet, grand staircases, and chandeliers... A castle that you might only hear tales of, and now you find yourself standing in it.

You have no recollection of this place, and you certainly don't recall any of the strange people that are milling about around you. There's also that nagging feeling that something is missing and you just can't place it. Perhaps you'll figure that out in time, but for now...


Welcome to Paradisa
June 16-20


Whoa whoa wait. My character has been in Paradisa for X months/years!
This is true! But they don't know it. Every resident will believe they are a new arrival for the duration of this plot.

Will they remember their past stays/existing CR?
Nope! Remember the very first time your character arrived in the game? It's like that for everyone. All residents are getting the reboot treatment as if they're starting from scratch.

Can my character remember bits and pieces of their Paradisa history/CR?
We want all characters to be on the same page with this plot, and that page is a blank page. Take this opportunity to make new CR! Let your character forget that jaded feeling they have from living in the castle for too long. It's all brand new and fresh to them.

Will my character regain their memories when this is all over? Will they remember what happened?
At the end of the plot, Paradisa will return all of their memories to the residents, and yes, they will keep all memories made during this plot. Now they'll just remember two arrivals in the castle! (Or three, or four...) Have fun sorting all that out.

What about the journals? Can't my character just go back and read about what happened to them?
All existing text in the journal will appear to be in a strange, alien language. Your character can try to decipher the text, but they won't have any luck. (Paradisa might even give them a migraine for trying.) But while the old text is illegible, any and all new entries will be readable by all.

At the end of the plot, the castle will make sure to set the journals back to their single, default language setting.


There will be a mass intro log posted at the start of the plot. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

What about any customization done to their rooms or any notes that residents may have taken outside the journal?

[paradisamods]

All decorations, renovations, and items acquired are still there. Any notes, however, will get the same treatment as the journal. It'll be in a language that can't be read.

Who wants to get shot by a woman who is going down fighting? Lmao.

[putuporshutup]

Hahaha she can shoot the already stabbed/bleeding Meg and flip when she doesn't go down!!

[both_neither]

What about their physical states? I.E. Their condition on arrival and/or any physical scars they might have received during their stay in the castle?

[paradisamods]

It's really just their mental state that is getting the reboot! So if they have any physical differences, they'll still be there. (Unless you really, really don't want them to be, then we can make an exception.)

[both_neither]

No, that's fine. I just wanted to clarify. Thank you.

[deadlybanker]

If the characters are all being reset could they be rolled back to an even earlier canon point just for the event? Like instead of remembering he came here just after his death Giovanni suddenly believes he has only just moved out of Monteriggioni or just witnessed the birth of his son, something like that?

[paradisamods]

For continuity and simplicity's sake, I'm going to say no to this. The castle isn't actually sending them back and wiping their memories, it's just making them think that they have only just now arrived. They won't remember ever being in Paradisa before while physically they haven't gone anywhere.
