50,002	1,347	0	446	7,203	The Cave, Arnoth, 10 AM Cynthia kicked her feet up, resting them on a low table. Her pack was slung across the back of the chair, which meant that anybody could access her inventory, but she wasn't worried about it. Everybody who was here she trusted. She closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of not having to wear that heavy armor. "You know," She said to nobody in particular, "Realism is cool and all, but they could have lightened the equipment a bit. I feel like I've been hauling a tractor every time I stop running around." She opened one eye and looked the 'natural' room they called The Cave. She and Prince had stumbled upon it on a gathering quest, and claimed it as a personal space, and now it served as a base of operations for their group. The group in question was now scattered around the rest area, minus a couple of people. "Someone want to flip on the TV?" She asked, spinning her chair to face the screen set on the wall. "Might as well know what's going on in the world while we wait."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,003	1,347	1	1,918	8,272	Raijin gave a dry laugh from his place in the Cave, resting with his back against the wall. "I wouldn't know Cynth, I wear light armor so I can avoid that discomfort. And why can't you get up to do it yourself." He mumbled the last part to himself as he got up from his sitting position, stretching a little as he did. It still felt weird to have a tail, or ears on top of his head that he can move. He moved to turn on the T.V., flipping to the news channel, then going to lay on the couch across from Cynthia. He didn't really care much for the news, preferring the going ons of this world to the real one. That world was only filled with pain and suffering, for him anyways. Those thoughts made his ears lower ever slightly, an unconscious signal of his melancholy.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,004	1,347	2	377	26,014	Kalinda, or Cattypea as she was known here, was walking towards the cave, attired in her normal in game gear, a slight smile on her face, her hand around her staff as she hummed to herself. She looked about her as she walked, enjoying the simple pleasure of being by herself, and being able to...well, know that she had people who would be happy to see her. No one knew her name. Unable to make friends, at least ones that stuck, her life in the real world was somewhat....depressing. Here, no one knew she was an orphan. No one looked at her and thought, that poor girl. No one knew her past. It was heaven. It was freeing. It was...relaxing. She heard Cynthia complaining about the armor and then asking for the TV to be on, Raijn reply and comply, and stepping into the cave, setting her staff near by as she claimed a spot, she said, "Because if it wasn't heavy, it would be light armor? You should increase your strength, that might help" She added with a shrug. She looked to the TV, "Anything interesting?"	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,005	1,347	3	527	356	Well, the last living panda in the Adras Nature Conservatory died after a stress induced heart attack the other day... Does that count as interesting? Grey responded dispassionately. Like always, he was wearing his iconic face mask, giving his voice a slightly distorted and robotic tilt. As usual, the young cyborg was in his typical spot at the crafting table, tinkering away at some sort of half finished upgrade, barely paying attention to the television. In all the time the group had known Grey, the number of times they had actually seen that mask of his come off entirely could probably be counted on the fingers of one hand. In fact, were it not for the necessities of eating or drinking, most would simply assume that it just never came off, being somehow fused irreversably to the Enokian's face. Even when consuming food, it was rarely lifted up to a point where one might see the features below, only ever revealing a little pale skin at most. While most would assume that it would be fairly cumbersome to wear all the time, it was actually fairly comfortable, and hardly impeded vision at all. Only a shock of long, messy white hair remained uncovered, tied off in a lazy braid running halfway down the player's back. "If you're so concerned about the weight..." he added teasingly. "You could always go my route and not bother with all that equipment at all." To say that Grey was a minimalist when it came to inventory space would be an understatement akin to saying that water was "a bit humid". Apart from the barest essentials, such as consumables, tools and special items, pretty much 99% of the items looted from adversaries were traded for upgrade components nearly instantly. Although having the skills necessary for making one's own items from scratch might seem like it would make things easier, some of the materials required for doing so were tremendously expensive or hard to find. As a result, unless it was on the return trip from a particularly long quest, his inventory would most often be found to be almost completely empty. On the upside, this made stealing from Grey pretty much impossible, unless one were willing to use a crowbar to pry apart his limbs, but it frequently meant having to buy new tools on the fly to tackle problems as they came. Right now, apart from a few arcane circuit boards and some spectral energy cells, the pack at the table's feet was practically empty, only containing some provisions and a small tool set.	--- "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." -Niccolo Machiavelli --- --- Real Name: Unknown Username: Undo_13 Title: The Sour Knight (Usually referred to simply as "Grey") Age Nineteen/???

From an outside perspective, it comes across as one of the most profoundly bitter, jaded and cynical attitudes one could possibly encounter. Brash, unpleasant, direct and sarcastic, it gives off a very strong sense of negativity and world weariness, as though always expecting the absolute worst out of people. Nevertheless, oddly enough, Grey is one of the most selfless and helpful people one could encounter. Despite the thick and opaque façade of negativity and pessimism, the so dubbed "Sour Knight" is always one of the first to offer assistance whenever someone is in need of it. In spite of the extremely sardonic attitude, Grey will wade through thousands of miles of putrid, monster infested swamps to bring a quest item to a stranger, scale ice covered cliffs to rescue someone in danger or brave pirate infested regions to escort another player to a highly remote, very inhospitable place. All while constantly complaining about their carelessness, naivety and stupidity, of course. Even while fighting, everything is a lesson in opposites. Vicious, underhanded and unscrupulous, Grey is willing to do pretty much anything to disable a foe... But never, under any circumstances, exploits any sorts of hacks, glitches or cheats. So long as it is in the game, they will mini-max the ever living hell out of it, but never outside of the boundaries of the game. Grey never seems to accept any form of payment for favours whatsoever, regardless of how arduous the task, yet never stops snarking or grumbling about it. Loyal, Sarcastic, Steadfast, Grumpy and Infinitely Patient, thus is the way of the Sour Knight. Background: Even with friends, Grey is particularly reclusive when it comes to revealing anything about real life. Age, Nationality, Financial Status, even Gender, everything is kept secret as much as possible. From what has been hinted in conversations with others of the group, however, it can easily be deduced that Grey's personal life must be pretty unpleasant. There is a certain weariness in those words which can only come from someone whom life has repeatedly hammered down over the years. From a few passing mentions of college or classmates, it is highly likely that Grey is somewhere between the late teens and early twenties, but not much can be known otherwise, not even an area of study. From infrequent leaves of absence and a few offhanded comments about hospital visits, it is also pretty clear that the Sour Knight doesn't exactly have a very good health either. Other: Pholirite Pride! >:D
50,006	1,347	4	560	1,409	'Our love is fading away, away, away, away, away...' Marinette bobbed her head with the beat, by now her fellow clan members knew about her audio addiction-- they also knew, however, that she was listening to everything they said. From Cynthia's armor problems to Raijin bitching about having to get up, Marinette's head rested precariously on her arm as the discussion continued. She considered these people her friends, and even if it was a character, they considered her one, just getting to hear their banal banter was a blessing. "Right, but only so many people want to play as the worst possible class, Grey-kun." She said, smirking playfully. "The armor's so heavy because otherwise it'd literally have no downside," She paused to get up from the table, only to go collapse on the carpet in between the couch and the TV, "I mean, at least at this stage in the game, that stuff is a fucking stonewall." She stared at the ceiling of the cave from the ground, "But even the speed penalty isn't that much of a debuff, all you'd really have to do is get good--" Marinette's head turned to look at Cynthia, "Do you even lift, Cynthia?" "Also--" She sat up to face the companion who had just walked in, "Hey Catty. Do you know why we're waiting? These guys won't tell me."

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

50,007	1,347	5	1,867	444	Kyron, better known here as Mr.Hazard, had been spending this time in the dining area, eating one of the wrapped treats he had found on his way to the cave. Being an Esquen, he had a pretty good knack to find things, and when he wasnt off on some mission with some of his friends, he was usually out exploring and looking for whatever he can find. To be honest, he wasnt even supposed to be online right now, as he would be at work at this time, but the boss called him last second saying they were overstaffed, and he quickly obliged to taking the day off and spending it on here. Because priorities. "Tellin ya Cynth, light armor is the way to go. but the fact you are more of a close up, personal kinda gal, it probably wouldnt be the most useful." he said as he kicked his legs up on one of the empty chairs, looking at the now on television. "Though Mari's got herself a point, at this point the armor makes the wearer a tank for lack of a better word." he looked over at the group who were gathered at the couch, fellow Esquen Marinette apparently too lazy to even sit up. Downing the last of his candy bar and watching his health meter creep slowly back to full, he decided it was the last time he ventured to the jungle... stick to the desert, nice, hot desert, where no tigers live. He stood up and rummaged in his bag, pulling out his last bar. He had no need for it, so he held it into the air and called out as he made his way to the group, "Last candy bar up for grabs, who wants it?" without waiting for an answer, he tossed it onto the table in front of the couch, knowing whoever wanted it would take it. Seeing there was not much room on the couch, he settled for sitting on the floor just next to where Mari was laying down. "Pandas dying of stress huh? Thats a new low."	Real Name: Kyron Akin Username: Mr.Hazard Title: The Desert Bullet Age: 20 Gender: male for both Race: Esquen Class: Marksman Level: 5 Stat Build: STR : 2 FOC: 9 AGL: 4 Skills: Guns (Assault rifle, pistol, sniper rifle) Perception +Survival +Appraisal +Tracking +Foraging Equipment: Head- Hood (sneak, level 3) Ear- Empty slot Neck- Neckerchief (vanity) Chest - light Velcro vest (armor, level 3) Waist- pocket belt (increased ammo capacity, level 2) Legs- knee pads (armor, level 2) Left hand & right hand- leather fingerless gloves (armor, level 1) Weapon- (Sniper Rifle, named ,level 5, critical attribute) Weapon: (Assault Rifle, level 4) Feet- combat boots (Armor and Speed) Spare weapon #1: 10 mm pistol (10 bullet clip capacity, level 3) Spare weapon #2: Shotgun (four round capacity, level 2) Personality: Jeff tends to keep the same attitude both in and out of game. He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game?

50,008	1,347	6	641	893	Mantam lingered for a second at the entrance to 'The Cave', their group's personal hideout, coming a little behind Catty. She listened to most of the idle chatter for a second before having a moment of self-realization that what she was doing might be construed as eavesdropping. She entered the room, quick to announce her presence, "Dibs on that candy bar!" she said, hopping over the couch without waiting for reply and snatching it up. She turned around and gave a sly smile to Raijin, why was lying on the couch she just leapt over. She gave a small laugh before saying, "Sorry Raijin, didn't see you there." She continued on, looking for a spot to sit. After a moment of consideration Mantam opted to lie on the floor next to Marinette. "It looks like you have quite a comfortable spot here, Marinette." Mantam said, with an edge of sarcasm. Mantam turned her attention to the TV. "Awwww, that's so sad... The 'Adras Nature Conservatory' must be a pretty crappy place if a panda can manage to die from stress." Mantam paused for another moment before moving onto the topic of heavy armor. Mantam half sat-up, looking towards Cynthia, "That's why I picked a Caster class, robes are soooooooo much more comfortable then heavy armor. You always look so... sweaty." Mantam let out a badly suppressed giggle, as she pulled out her newly found candy bar and began eating, falling back to the ground. "I love this game, I can eat all I want without getting fat. And everything tastes so... real." "So, what's the plan today? Surely we're not going to spend all day hanging out here?"	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise. Characters: ☺ Prince- "Prince is a nice guy, and he has an odd tendency to bring people together. He's a good friend." ☺ Cynthia- "Cynthia seems to harbor some kind of guilt she doesn't let on about, but she's a nice person, and one of my friends." ☺ Marinette- "Marinette's avatar is really creepy looking. Besides that, nice person, good friend." ☺ cattypea- "I like Catty. Catty is one of my friends." ♡ Mantam- "Me. I love me." ☺ Hazard- "Hazard is a kind person, and one of my friends." ☺ Grey- "He's a bit mysterious, but I like him. He's one of my friends." ☺ Raijin- "He's quiet, and can get a bit brutal in fights, but he's a friend of mine. Also, Void is sooooooooo cute." ☺ Deathedge- "He can be a bit... hard to like at times, but I'm convinced that I can make him come out of his shell." ☺ CherryLover- "Cherry is a good person. Truly one of my main girls." How long has your character been playing the game? Mantam got the game on release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? Mantam only recently made this character, choosing to adopt it when the rest of her friends began playing. How long have they been a part of the group? Mantam has been with the group since almost the start. Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Mantam happened to stumble upon the Cave post-occupation by Prince and Cynthia, and somehow managed to find herself with a new group of friends.
50,009	1,347	7	446	7,203	Cynthia glanced at the clock, seeing that Prince was late. "I think the plan for today is to get those of us still bellow level five to level up, so we can all move off this world together." She levered herself off the chair and picked up her bag, opening her inventory and retrieving an apple. Sure she could have just reached into the bag itself, but she never took the time to organize it, so it was easier to use the menu. "Unfortunately, Prince is one of the two level fours we have in the group, so we can't just start without him." She bit into the apple, chewing slowly as she thought. Finally, she sighed. "Well, as long as we're waiting, we might as well decide on the formations. Since we have two people to level, we should split into two groups. The only reason we even need to group up for this is that there are rumors floating around about a group of PKers lurking in the wilderness areas, hoping to snatch some loot off of the lower levels, so we need a PVP team for defense. I'll go with Prince for his tank."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,010	1,347	8	1,918	8,272	Raijin gave a flippant ear flick in Mantam's general direction, before letting out a low whistle. Suddenly, bolt of blackness struck at the Mirage shifter's candy bar, before slowing down to reveal Void, who brought it to her master. "Good girl, Void," Raijin said before taking a bit from the candy bar. " And I agree Mantam, that must be one sucky zoo."	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,011	1,347	9	527	356	Pssh, you're one to talk, Mrs. Freelancer with only one level in strength"..." Grey shot back at Marinette amusedly, nodding to Catty as she entered. "Hells, if you were any weaker, I'd bet even Mantam could probably overpower you..." Just then, said shifter decided to make her presence known, jumping at Hazard's candy bar like a wild predator pouncing its prey, leaping over the couch in the process. "Speak of the devil..." "So, what's the plan today? Surely we're not going to spend all day hanging out here?" She finally asked. "I think the plan for today is to get those of us still bellow level five to level up, so we can all move off this world together. Unfortunately, Prince is one of the two level fours we have in the group, so we can't just start without him." Cynthia said, biting an apple. Grey looked up from whatever they were working on, nodding in agreement. "Well, as long as we're waiting, we might as well decide on the formations. Since we have two people to level, we should split into two groups. The only reason we even need to group up for this is that there are rumors floating around about a group of PKers lurking in the wilderness areas, hoping to snatch some loot off of the lower levels, so we need a PVP team for defense. I'll go with Prince for his tank." The Fae outlined as she ate, a serious look on her face. "I could go with either teams as a backup. I'm not much good in an open firefight, but I get some pretty ridiculous crit bonuses when I catch someone by surprise, and I've got fairly good stealth ever since I leveled up and got those new dampeners. I could follow the main group around from a slight distance and just ambush whoever tries to sneak up on us from behind. Even if they're wearing armor, my blaster can hit very hard at close range, and would probably force them to reconsider their plan of attack. Hazard could act as support for the other one, or maybe even cover both groups at once if we position ourselves well enough. If he does, I could back him up and play spotter while he covers for both groups as well." he offered, a pensive look hidden behind his mask.	--- "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." -Niccolo Machiavelli --- --- Real Name: Unknown Username: Undo_13 Title: The Sour Knight (Usually referred to simply as "Grey") Age Nineteen/???

From an outside perspective, it comes across as one of the most profoundly bitter, jaded and cynical attitudes one could possibly encounter. Brash, unpleasant, direct and sarcastic, it gives off a very strong sense of negativity and world weariness, as though always expecting the absolute worst out of people. Nevertheless, oddly enough, Grey is one of the most selfless and helpful people one could encounter. Despite the thick and opaque façade of negativity and pessimism, the so dubbed "Sour Knight" is always one of the first to offer assistance whenever someone is in need of it. In spite of the extremely sardonic attitude, Grey will wade through thousands of miles of putrid, monster infested swamps to bring a quest item to a stranger, scale ice covered cliffs to rescue someone in danger or brave pirate infested regions to escort another player to a highly remote, very inhospitable place. All while constantly complaining about their carelessness, naivety and stupidity, of course. Even while fighting, everything is a lesson in opposites. Vicious, underhanded and unscrupulous, Grey is willing to do pretty much anything to disable a foe... But never, under any circumstances, exploits any sorts of hacks, glitches or cheats. So long as it is in the game, they will mini-max the ever living hell out of it, but never outside of the boundaries of the game. Grey never seems to accept any form of payment for favours whatsoever, regardless of how arduous the task, yet never stops snarking or grumbling about it. Loyal, Sarcastic, Steadfast, Grumpy and Infinitely Patient, thus is the way of the Sour Knight. Background: Even with friends, Grey is particularly reclusive when it comes to revealing anything about real life. Age, Nationality, Financial Status, even Gender, everything is kept secret as much as possible. From what has been hinted in conversations with others of the group, however, it can easily be deduced that Grey's personal life must be pretty unpleasant. There is a certain weariness in those words which can only come from someone whom life has repeatedly hammered down over the years. From a few passing mentions of college or classmates, it is highly likely that Grey is somewhere between the late teens and early twenties, but not much can be known otherwise, not even an area of study. From infrequent leaves of absence and a few offhanded comments about hospital visits, it is also pretty clear that the Sour Knight doesn't exactly have a very good health either. Other: Pholirite Pride! >:D
50,012	1,347	10	1,046	4,333	A bit of a ways away from the Cave, Prince slept contently, the soft, warm breeze of the environment around him keeping him relaxed and properly lazy. To say Prince was like a cat was a bit of an understatement and this was one of his many cat naps. In fact, currently he was dreaming about chasing a weird glowing butterfly around. Nothing too terribly serious or meaningful. Probably. It wasn't long before the lethargic Prince slowly opened his eyes and looked around. With a smile on his face, he checked the time. As usual, he was late for something or another. To be honest, he didn't really care about graduating or leveling. It didn't really matter to him much, as long as he could stay inside Paradise, he'd be fine. After several minutes of convincing himself, Prince finally rose and began to make his way over to the Cave. He let his fingers dance across the bark and the leaves of the trees as he walked, smiling. It was amazing how real it all felt and it always gave him this sense of... pride in it all. This was his world, right? He could claim it, right? As he entered the room, he glanced around to see most of everyone already inside. Grinning, he tucked his arms behind his head and greeted everyone, "Hello Everyone!" His voice was slightly sing-song as he walked over to the couch and let himself fall onto it, nevermind if anyone were already there. Which, of course, there was. Prince looked down to see a rather disgruntled Raijin. "Oops!" He spoke, chuckling to himself as he let himself lay on top of Raijin. "You know, I think we might need a bigger place, Cynthia. I mean, we can't have members sitting around on the ground." He spoke, sitting up to look down at the few members sitting on the floor. He gave them a sly grin before looking up at Cynthia. "So... uh... what's up?" He asked, knowing full well what she'd say. Prince himself was wearing his normal clothes, too lazy to change out of them for any reason. It wasn't like they had any need for showers. His dirty blonde hair was held in place in a braid that went down to the middle of his back and was now perfectly placed over Raijin's face, draped across his face. Blue eyes stared over at Cynthia as he waited for a response, the banter about the last panda dying went on in the background. Stuff like that didn't really surprise him anymore, though it did make him a bit sad. He'd have time to react to it later... probably.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.) Chest - Worn Shirt (Dyed Black) Right Hand - Staff (Two handed) Legs - Worn Pants (Gray) Spare Weapon #1 - Frying Pan ~Personality~ Logan is a rather quiet boy who tends to keep to himself. He finds it hard to be himself around people, the fear of rejection out weighing his desire to be loved. Living by himself didn't help matters either. It just led to a lot of misconceptions about him and his past. Rumors flew through the air around him. That he'd killed his own parents and that he joined the mafia. Because of his rough appearance a lot of people believed it. After all, how could a guy who looked so angry all the time be anything but bad news? In Paradise, however, Logan had no fears. Under the pretense of "Prince", he held no fear of being himself. A fun loving and warm individual. Prince can talk just a bit too much but he always means well. He's also a bit of a free spirit, doing whatever he wants when he wants. If it is something he'd rather not do, he won't. ~Background~ Logan, despite what people think, has a family that is relatively well off. When they deicded to move, he didn't want anything to change and so he stayed in their old home by himself while his parents moved to another part of the country. Not wanting to face the fear of rejection again, he decided to stay and simply play the part they'd wanted to give him. When he found out about Paradise, he asked his parents and they had the game shipped to his home. Since then, he hasn't gone out much besides going to school every now and then and soon even that ended as he spent all of his time in the game with his new friends. Because of the mask Logan could wear, he felt safe to be himself and made a few friends with whom he spent a good deal of his time.

50,013	1,347	11	1,918	8,272	Prince, if you don't get off of me right now, your gonna have to deal with my foot up your ass. He would have pushed the Ki brawler off himself, but he figured he might as well give the guy a chance to get up, lest he finds him self launched across the room. Raijin took another bite of the candy bar Void had stolen from Mantam. Whoever designed the game so that players could actually taste stuff should be given a gold medal of awesomeness, this stuff tasted great. "And for formations, I fine with whoever, since me and Void are a pretty versatile group."	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,014	1,347	12	1,867	444	Psshh, since when did I need a spotter? said Hazard jokingly, holding up his hands like he were some bad ass. He breathed a sigh and fell onto his back, looking at the rest of the group and stretching. "To be honest, its not a bad idea, but I wouldnt want to keep you out of the fight. Ol' Potshot has some range on him, especially since his last scope upgrade, so I can stay pretty well hidden and pick off any ambushers should they wanna try anything. Just keep me informed if you see anything so I can get a bead on whatever pops out. And of course you go for the tank Cynth" he added with a chuckle. He looked over to the rest of the group and noticed Prince coming out and greeting everyone. "Well the sleeping Prince awakens!" he said jokingly, throwing his arms in the air in a mock celebration. When he mentioned getting a bigger place, Hazard chuckled, "Yeah but think of the nostalgia of this place! Its the first place we got as a group, its our home! Granted a little more space would be cool and all, but I like to hold on to the memories places hold, call me a sap all you want."	Real Name: Kyron Akin Username: Mr.Hazard Title: The Desert Bullet Age: 20 Gender: male for both Race: Esquen Class: Marksman Level: 5 Stat Build: STR : 2 FOC: 9 AGL: 4 Skills: Guns (Assault rifle, pistol, sniper rifle) Perception +Survival +Appraisal +Tracking +Foraging Equipment: Head- Hood (sneak, level 3) Ear- Empty slot Neck- Neckerchief (vanity) Chest - light Velcro vest (armor, level 3) Waist- pocket belt (increased ammo capacity, level 2) Legs- knee pads (armor, level 2) Left hand & right hand- leather fingerless gloves (armor, level 1) Weapon- (Sniper Rifle, named ,level 5, critical attribute) Weapon: (Assault Rifle, level 4) Feet- combat boots (Armor and Speed) Spare weapon #1: 10 mm pistol (10 bullet clip capacity, level 3) Spare weapon #2: Shotgun (four round capacity, level 2) Personality: Jeff tends to keep the same attitude both in and out of game. He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more!

50,015	1,347	13	377	26,014	Despite her self, Cattypea had fallen silent, letting the lthers talk and basically just listening. She knew that she was one of the level fours, and was merely waiting to be told where she was to go, and with who. This made her disgusted with herself. Was she so easily going to slip into her habits? She didn't want that. She bit her lip, trying to figure out what to do. At Princes declaration that they needed a bigger place, so people didn't thabe to sit on the ground, Catty said "I do not mind sitting in the ground. I like this place. No one else has found it. It gives us a safe place. I think any bigger and we won't be able to keep it safe and hidden from others" she shrugged, laying back. "I will go where I need to go, and with whoever comes with me. Primarily, I'm more ranged but can do closer combat to. So I'm happy working with anyone" she said After a minute, she rose and, since Raijin was otherwise occupied, she plucked the candy bar from him, returning to her spot. In the game, indulging in candy was one of Kalinda's weaknesses. She smiled at Raijin and said "even stolen candy should be shared"	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,016	1,347	14	1,046	4,333	Prince let out a small chuckle and stood up from his position atop Raijin. "Sorry, sorry." He told him a bit sheepishly. He looked over at Hazard with a wide grin when the Esquen greeted him. "Hey-o!" He greeted in return, holding up a hand to send a small wave Hazard's way. He turned, still standing, when he heard Cat speak. Still smiling, he nodded his head. "I guess I have to agree. It just wouldn't be the same, huh?" He returned, chuckling slightly. With that, he spun on his heels and walked over to the other wall, deciding to sit down and lean against it. "In any case, some more chairs might be in order... Let's make them fluffy and comfortable, yeah? I need more places for a cat nap." He added, closing his eyes as he leaned back against the wall. "Let me know when we start doing stuff." He finished. With that said, he sat still as a stone, his eyes closed and his breathing even. If he had to be honest with anyone, he never left the game... ever. When they all logged off, he simply found his own little hole to sleep in. Sometimes he might stay in the Cave and just let people assume he stayed logged in all night or something. Every now and then was okay but other times he had to find somewhere else to find to stay. It changed from day to day, eventually he might just find something worth keeping but for now, he kept on the move. It'd been about 9 or 10 days since he'd even logged out. Probably.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.) Chest - Worn Shirt (Dyed Black) Right Hand - Staff (Two handed) Legs - Worn Pants (Gray) Spare Weapon #1 - Frying Pan ~Personality~ Logan is a rather quiet boy who tends to keep to himself. He finds it hard to be himself around people, the fear of rejection out weighing his desire to be loved. Living by himself didn't help matters either. It just led to a lot of misconceptions about him and his past. Rumors flew through the air around him. That he'd killed his own parents and that he joined the mafia. Because of his rough appearance a lot of people believed it. After all, how could a guy who looked so angry all the time be anything but bad news? In Paradise, however, Logan had no fears. Under the pretense of "Prince", he held no fear of being himself. A fun loving and warm individual. Prince can talk just a bit too much but he always means well. He's also a bit of a free spirit, doing whatever he wants when he wants. If it is something he'd rather not do, he won't. ~Background~ Logan, despite what people think, has a family that is relatively well off. When they deicded to move, he didn't want anything to change and so he stayed in their old home by himself while his parents moved to another part of the country. Not wanting to face the fear of rejection again, he decided to stay and simply play the part they'd wanted to give him. When he found out about Paradise, he asked his parents and they had the game shipped to his home. Since then, he hasn't gone out much besides going to school every now and then and soon even that ended as he spent all of his time in the game with his new friends. Because of the mask Logan could wear, he felt safe to be himself and made a few friends with whom he spent a good deal of his time. Paradise was truly a paradise for him. ~Other~ Still WIPsy since I still need Chuks approval for something. :P ☹ ("Enemies") ☺ ("Friends") ✧ ("BFFs") ♪ ("Neutral") ♡ ("Could Be Something More ~") Characters: \|☹\| Prince - "..." \|✧\| Cynthia - "She's pretty awesome!

50,017	1,347	15	1,867	444	At Catty's mention of being more of a ranged fighter, Hazard opened his eyes and smiled at her, "Yo Catty, if you wanna step up your ranged game, I can show you a thing or two, probably can get you bumped up the level you need doing so. How does that sound?" he said to her happily. he had noticed since he had met her that she was more of the silent type in the game, kind of just going with the flow more than anything. Hazard hoped to get her to open up a bit more by inviting her to work with him. He remembered his first day on this game, immediately going for the guns and whatnot that made him a marksman. He understood what it was like to be the silent one, though he tried his best to be part of a group. His luck at the beginning didnt really work out too well, kind of bouncing among groups but never really fitting into one that he clicked with. He was pretty discouraged at that time, not sure if he would ever make many friends on here. When he ran into Prince though, it changed. The brawler was kind to begin with, and he and Hazard hit it off real well. After doing a couple missions in their spare time, he decided to invite Hazard to the group. It was still pretty small at the time, it was crazy how much it had grown since then. "You sleep too much Princey-boy." he said as he himself rested his eyes as he lay on the floor. He watched Catty take back the candy bar from Raijin and let out a chuckle. "Anyone ever need a candy bar, ill be the one to hook you up" he said jokingly.

She closed her eyes, and said "I'd appreciate that, Hazard. I'm favoring Fire balls at the moment, so they are pretty handy for ranged attacks" she smiled, just enjoying being with the group, who would offer to help. And who had candy. She started to hum again, happy. "the floor isn't that bad for a cat nap" she said after a moment "just don't lie on a rock and you be fine" she laughed again. "So when do we move out?" She asked "I have to log out before dinner. It's my turn to cook and last time I got paid out because I just made spaghetti.

How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,019	1,347	17	1,867	444	Hazard smiled his goofy smile at Catt as she thanked him for his offer. most likely he would have to bring in his range a bit, since his sniper rifle was a tad further in range, but it would be worth helping his friends out. Once she mentioned laying on a rock, he couldnt help but notice his back felt weird, and after a little fidgeting, he pulled out... a rock. Flicking it aside, he his face as she mentioned her family. He wished he had that relationship, but it was because of his parents that he lived alone in a low income apartment. He shook off the negative emotions and smiled once more, "Heh, Id love to try some of your cooking some time! Ive been living off tv dinners for the past month!"

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend.

Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more!

50,020	1,347	18	560	1,409	Marinette was brought out of a musical trance by Hazard's comment. She looked at her fellow sand dweller with a confused expression. "But dude-- TV dinners are the best." The mention of rocks prompted her to get up and stretch, she aimlessly paced the room before continuing, "Like, no offense, Catty, but have you guys never been to K-Wall-Trader Joes-Mart? They just expanded their selection of Girl Scout cookie flavored Pad Thai. Shit's amazing." She rested again against the back of the couch, the song currently blasting into her artificial ears was some odd mixture of reggae, soft rock, hip hop and washing machine sounds-- very soothing. Ness, the player behind the character, much preferred convenience and practicality over senseless hassle. Having grown up practically impoverished, he found extravagant meals to be a waste of time and money, and gravitated toward the simple and fast-- having practically lived off of ramen since middle school, this habit bled over into other things, and it was why he found Paradise-- the character he could be, as well as the world itself, in it's elegant simplicity-- so desirable. With access to the internet, he could take his classes and do his work from here. It was a perfect set up. "And I'll be honest..." Marinette continued, leaning her head back with the beat of a song only she could hear, "I think I've had the best food while in here..." Ness had been logged in as Marinette for about 72 hours at this point. "But MAYBE, that's just a lame and corny reason, like the power of friendship or something..."

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

50,021	1,347	19	641	893	Mantam gave a feigned look of hurt as the candy bar was snatched from her. "Raijin, I can't believe you'd actually steal from me..." She said teasingly, not nearly as sad as she seemed to be. As the candy bar was passed around, Prince entered the room. "Yo! Prince, I expect payment for helping you level." She said sarcastically. She then shot Catty a wink, "I'll let you off easy Catty, since I like you... even though you and Raijin stole my candy bar." Mantam paused for a moment, and rose. "Also, of course we can't leave this place, it's like home... I just wish we had a kitchen..." She said, grumbling for food, staring envyingly at her former candy bar. She then had a flash of brilliance, suddenly morphing into her preferred animal form, that of a brilliant red wolf. She tensed on her heels, and before Catty could protest, leapt and snatched the candy bar from her in one swoop. Snarling, the wolf swallowed it in one gulp before morphing back into a Human. She strode towards Catty, and leaned down to whisper in her ear "You're lucky I have a good AGI stat, or you might be short a hand." She said with feigned threat, smiling. "As far as formations go, I don't mind either way, as long as Price pays. PKers don't stand a chance against the legendary Red Wolf." Mantam said, flexing in an overtly false show of machismo.	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise. Characters: ☺ Prince- "Prince is a nice guy, and he has an odd tendency to bring people together. He's a good friend." ☺ Cynthia- "Cynthia seems to harbor some kind of guilt she doesn't let on about, but she's a nice person, and one of my friends." ☺ Marinette- "Marinette's avatar is really creepy looking. Besides that, nice person, good friend." ☺ cattypea- "I like Catty. Catty is one of my friends." ♡ Mantam- "Me. I love me." ☺ Hazard- "Hazard is a kind person, and one of my friends." ☺ Grey- "He's a bit mysterious, but I like him. He's one of my friends." ☺ Raijin- "He's quiet, and can get a bit brutal in fights, but he's a friend of mine. Also, Void is sooooooooo cute." ☺ Deathedge- "He can be a bit... hard to like at times, but I'm convinced that I can make him come out of his shell." ☺ CherryLover- "Cherry is a good person. Truly one of my main girls." How long has your character been playing the game? Mantam got the game on release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? Mantam only recently made this character, choosing to adopt it when the rest of her friends began playing. How long have they been a part of the group? Mantam has been with the group since almost the start. Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Mantam happened to stumble upon the Cave post-occupation by Prince and Cynthia, and somehow managed to find herself with a new group of friends.
50,022	1,347	20	1,918	8,272	I didn't do anything, Mantam, that was all Void's doing. I just asked her to come over here to be my pillow. Raijin said as he snuggled with his warm, wolf pillow. He liked to sleep with animals, they were so warm, so soft, so unlike anything he had experienced for much of his life. "And as for food, I have to agree with Marinette. Then again, my culinary palette is rather limited, so that could make my opinion highly biased." He flicked his ears and tail a little, his tail almost going asleep since he was laying on it. "Hey Cat, how does having these tails and ears feel for you, I always think it feels weird, yet natural. Sometimes, IRL, I think I flick my ears at people to let them know i'm listening to them, then remember that my ears don't do that." As he said this, he gave a secret telepathic message to Void, telling her to slink into the shadows and stalk silently over to Cynthia.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,023	1,347	21	446	7,203	Cynthia watched the proceedings with amusement. She was wary though, and she didn't miss Void slipping off the couch and into the shadows. "Maybe we should get a bigger place." She said, standing up and moving to the center of the room. "I wouldn't mind having our own kitchen, I'm getting sick of using public ones." She finished her apple and tossed it half heartedly towards the trashcan, where it fell in and was deleted. She moved over to the opposite wall and sat down next to Raijin. "Hey there buddy, where's your wolf?"

Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them!

Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,024	1,347	22	1,918	8,272	Well, she appears to be. . . Raijin began, before giving a telepathic message of 'Now' to Void, who leaped at Cynthia. She began to lick her face relentlessly, "right there. Bad Void." He said with false regret as he quickly moved away from Cynthia, in case the Blademaster didn't appreciate a surprise lick attack. He moved over to where Undo was currently sitting at, placing them in between possible danger and him. His ear were up and his tail was unconsciously wagging.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."

Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea.

She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.

You show candy near me and I demand to have it shared" she said with a shrug, "I think it's more lucky I was throwing it to someone else anyway and you just caught it" she chuckled, watching as Hazadd found a rock he was sitting on. She snickered and sat up, running a hand through her hair. "TV dinners are fine. But home cooked meals, especially mine, are awesome" she said unabashedly, "if we get a place with a kitchen, I'll treat you to a meal. If my level is high enough" she added, rummaging through her pack, flicking her own ears at the mention of her name. "See, I can twitch my ears in real life anyway" she said, smiling pleasantly, looking over her shoulder at Raijin, she poked her tongue out, "I spend a lot of time alone. It's easy to figure out tricks and things. I have a lot of skills in real life" she yawned, and rose. "I was joking about the ear twitch thing. Mm I don't mind them. Animals here like them" she shrugged, watching the antics of Raijin and the wolf.	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called?

50,028	1,347	26	1,867	444	Hazard spent this time resting and listening to the banter of the group. It was times like this that he was glad to be a part of this, glad to have a group to call friends. He hopped up as Cynthia was lick attacked by Void, Raijins pet wolf. He vainly suppressed a laugh as this happened, finding it all to be hilarious. He then listened to the conversation about moving their ears and how they compare it to IRL. "I kinda can relate. Here when I am bored, I take my pistol out and spin it around" he said, pulling it out and demonstrating. "Sometimes when im at work, I find myself reaching for it, and I get scared when it isnt there, only to realize im not in the game. Who else has that happen to them?"

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? First character made once the game started How long have they been a part of the group? He was about the halfway mark Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Prince came across him while exploring at one point and decided to do a quest with him. been friends since.
50,029	1,347	27	446	7,203	Cynthia managed to push the wolf off in a fit of giggles, standing up to stave off more attacks. "Whenever I'm offline and need something, I try to pull up my menu, only to realize after two or three tries that I can't do that. It's actually kinda annoying." She picked up Void and carried her over to Raijin. "Here, I think this belongs to you." She said, dumping her into the Wildborn's hands. "And don't think I'm going to let you off the hook any time soon."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,030	1,347	28	641	893	Mantam giggled as Void launched a surprise attack on Cynthia, instantly seeing through Raijin's feigned regret. "Nice save, Raijin, but it may have been a tad bit unconvincing. Anyways, as nice as a kitchen would be, I feel like this place is... cozy. Ya'know, like home. It may be a dismal cave light by the sickening glow of television, but it is ours." at the talk of animal ears, Mantam rubbed her head. "Well, I think it would be a bit odd if I found myself with the sudden yearning for animal parts IRL considering I rolled a Human... or pistols, for that matter. I can't say I've ever tried to morph into a wolf IRL, as cool as that would be... Oh! I did try to use the in-game cooking system in real life once. With people watching. That was an embarrassing situation... I think my family thinks I'm crazy." Mantam broke her train of thought for a second, but then had a brilliant idea enter her head. "I should find a cat! It would be cool to be a cat. Hey, if I was a cat, would you guys pet me, or would that be awkward?"	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person.

She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise.

"And I would totally pet you, Mantam,. . . that sounded a lot less wrong in my head." Raijin's tail laid flat on the floor, signaling his slight embarrassment. He then rolled Void over on to her belly and continued to scratch her, getting that place between her ears that she could never reach. "Let's all pretend I didn't say that, everyone in agreement raise your hand," Which he did, 'or your paw if you are lacking hands." He finished as he also rose one of Void's fore paws into the air. "That's two votes for the motion, any opposed?" Raijin made his voice sound all deep and stern as if he were a judge at a trial.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape.

(The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,032	1,347	30	641	893	Mantam burst out laughing at Raijin's embarrassment. "No, we're never forgetting that one. I refuse to let it go" Mantam said through her laughter, not raising her hand. Mantam then decided to further Raijin's embarrassment, and said "You would pet me, right, Raijin?" In a faux-seductive voice, morphing into the form of her red wolf. She strode towards him, and settled her canine head on his stomach, whining. She was practically begging for Raijin to pet her.

He then got a better idea and chuckled, "Id much rather get you some catnip and see you go crazy." he said jokingly, stretching his body for no apparent reason. He laid back down toward Voids direction and began playing with the wolf's forepaws. "Does Void wanna cat to play with and chase around? No I think void wants all the attention, no need for a cat to hog it all!" He then realized he was talking to a wolf, but simply said to the group, "Dont judge me, im a sucker for pets!"

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend.

50,034	1,347	32	1,046	4,333	Prince raised a brow as he opened his eyes slightly to look around the room. Slowly, he let them open as a soft smile appeared on his face. This... This was his family. These people in this room right now... With a stretch and a "faked" which turned into a real yawn, he sat up and looked around the room lazily. "Mantam, someone would have to be a fool to not want to pet you. I can imagine your fur being incredibly soft." He spoke, genuinely meaning it. Prince's smile grew as he began to think, thoughts spinning around in his head. He'd ignored the talk about doing things in IRL. He'd never talk about that side of his life even if people begged him to, offering him gold and legendary weapons. He'd turn them all down. Standing up, Prince made his way over to Cat and let his hand fall on her forehead, rubbing it gently. "See, Cat has soft fur." He spoke before pulling the hand away. Before anyone could react, Prince made his way to the back of the Cave, where most of the supplies not kept in their personal inventory were kept. It was public space and anything put into the safe was fair game. He took a peak inside to find a few uncooked fish, some branches collected from tree monsters, and 3 different copies of "The Beginner's Guide." He sighed and pushed the on screen button to put the uncooked fish into his inventory. "Hey, anyone know how to make a campfire? I'm hungry." He asked, clutching his stomach. "Either that... or... we go out to eat. Rusty's had some great Paqueek meat in the other day. He might still have some he'd be willing to cook up for us..." He explained, looking around the room. "Besides, who goes on a mission on an empty stomach, right?" He added, chuckling. "Certainly not me." He finished, grinning at the group. Pulling the fish out of his inventory, he walked over to Cynthia and put his arm on her shoulder, leaning onto her like one uses a table as an arm rest. In his other hand, he waved the fish around in her face. "Come ooooon. I'm hungry!" He whined, grinning all the while.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.) Chest - Worn Shirt (Dyed Black) Right Hand - Staff (Two handed) Legs - Worn Pants (Gray) Spare Weapon #1 - Frying Pan ~Personality~ Logan is a rather quiet boy who tends to keep to himself. He finds it hard to be himself around people, the fear of rejection out weighing his desire to be loved. Living by himself didn't help matters either. It just led to a lot of misconceptions about him and his past. Rumors flew through the air around him. That he'd killed his own parents and that he joined the mafia. Because of his rough appearance a lot of people believed it. After all, how could a guy who looked so angry all the time be anything but bad news? In Paradise, however, Logan had no fears. Under the pretense of "Prince", he held no fear of being himself. A fun loving and warm individual. Prince can talk just a bit too much but he always means well. He's also a bit of a free spirit, doing whatever he wants when he wants. If it is something he'd rather not do, he won't. ~Background~ Logan, despite what people think, has a family that is relatively well off. When they deicded to move, he didn't want anything to change and so he stayed in their old home by himself while his parents moved to another part of the country. Not wanting to face the fear of rejection again, he decided to stay and simply play the part they'd wanted to give him. When he found out about Paradise, he asked his parents and they had the game shipped to his home. Since then, he hasn't gone out much besides going to school every now and then and soon even that ended as he spent all of his time in the game with his new friends. Because of the mask Logan could wear, he felt safe to be himself and made a few friends with whom he spent a good deal of his time. Paradise was truly a paradise for him. ~Other~ Still WIPsy since I still need Chuks approval for something. :P ☹ ("Enemies") ☺ ("Friends") ✧ ("BFFs") ♪ ("Neutral") ♡ ("Could Be Something More ~") Characters: \|☹\| Prince - "..." \|✧\| Cynthia - "She's pretty awesome!

50,035	1,347	33	377	26,014	cattypea rolled her eyes at the talk of cats and petting. She liked cats, she liked all animals. But this talk of petting had a sexual tone underneath it that was just plain creepy when talking about cats. Complete shock came over her, her thoughts interrupted when Prince came over and pretty much pet her. She stuck out her tongue and grimaced, but before she could do anything, he removed his hand. She hissed, very much like a cat. "I'll bite your hand if you do that again" she said, her ears twitching, and flicked her tail in annoyance. She bared her teeth, but couldn't help but smile. She sighed heavily, glancing to the time. She didn't particularly want to log out, but knew she would have to tonight. She hadn't percisely lied when she said that she was to cook dinner. It was her turn. But no doubt her uncle would insist it be a take a way night. One or all of the household would leave her be. Like they always did on the day of her parents deaths. They weren't without reason for leaving her be. When she was younger, she would lock herself in her room, and refuse to come out. Yelling abuse at anyone who disturbed her. Despite the fact that she hadn't done it for a few years, they were all likely to leave her be to her ever lasting grief. The fact was, she couldn't remember her parents very much anymore. She knew they had loved her. Knew they had cared. Knew they had been getting ready to give her a puppy, just before the start of school. But she couldn't remember much else. Most of hee grief came from not be able to honor their memory. Disturbed at her line of thoughts, Catty huffed and hugged herself, rising and saying "I don't have much time. If I'm going to level, I should do so now" She wanted to be moving. She knew it was just a distraction technique, but that didn't bother her. "Whose going with me?" She asked, looking around at the group, an easy smile on her face. It was easy to let herself relax, to talk with them, and to forget. Her ears twitched, her tail swishing with her need to be outside, as her hand curled around her staff	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i.

She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it.

Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good.

50,036	1,347	34	1,918	8,272	Raijin nervous expression quickly turned mischievous, Mantam had just made a big mistake. “If you insist, but remember that you asked for it” He reached over and began to pet her, softly, with his hand as he did with Void. He had tamed a couple of wolves before Voud, and had made sure to study them, looking for weaknesses he could exploit. One discovery he had made was that wolves in game have a extremely sensitive spot right between their ears. While he pet Mantam in a way thay calmed and relaxed her, he reached over and gave her a good scratch right on the spot. Void licked Hazard's face, happy to play with him, wnen she caught a rather delicious scent, fish. She bolted up, jumped on the table and launched herself at it, snatching the tender morsel right from prince's hands, then running of to a corner to enjoy her prize in peace.

"I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape.

(The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."

If I ever become a cat, you won't get to pet me." She said, turning her nose up against him. She turned away from him, gazing at the raw fish Prince dangled with longing. "Being a Mirage Shifter has it's downsides... I sometimes get the strangest craving for raw meat." She said, disgusted with herself. Catty turned around to leave, asking for assistance. "Awwww, c'mon Catty, you know I want to go with you, but Prince is promising food... can't you stay and eat? I'll cook, if we don't opt to go out. I'm goooood." She said, trying to bait Catty into staying, giving her the 'puppy dog' eyes, something she has become very adapt at after becoming an actual dog.	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright.

Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee.

She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise.

50,038	1,347	36	377	26,014	Catty gave a grimace, she did want to stay, and did want to eat. The trouble was her real world commitments were pressing on her, and she knew that if she let herself, she would get caught up in the game and wouldn't log out for hours yet. It was a tough battle. And one she was doomed to lose. She sighed and nodded. "Alright, alright. I swear to go im such a push over" she would have done the same to her cousins, if they knew she had candy and begged her for some. She just couldn't say no. What was she going to be like, if she ever had kids? A terrifying thought. "Well then, hurry up and cook since you've worn me down into staying" she said with a smile, a chuckle	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well.

That's what happen's when you mess with a Xenomaster, if you were a beast of course. “That you can be, Cat, that you can be.” He was dissapointed that they Cat had given in, he was icthing to do something. Unlike the 'Prince of catnaps', he couldn't spend hours of time doing absolutely nothing. He gave a whistle, calling Void over, fish still in her mouth. “Your such a naughty little girl, you know that. Keepit up, and your earn yourself a treat of some fox meat, your favorite.” At this Void let out a cheerful howl, dropping the half-eaten fish on the cave floor.

50,040	1,347	38	446	7,203	Caroline shook her head at the direction the conversation was going, and snatched the fish out of Prince's hand. "Give me that. I bet you'll just char it. What a waste of a fish." She moved back into the storage area and took the branches she had put in there. She also grabbed the rest of the fish. "If I cook you a meal, will you promise to focus on leveling today? I don't want to hang around Arnoth for a year." She cleared a space on one of the tables and opened her inventory, bringing out a cutting board, frying pan, flint and steel and several spices she had just sitting in her bag. "There, that should be enough," She added, equipping her Katana before closing her menu. She put the fish she was holding down on the cutting board, and stepped back, putting one hand over her shoulder to grab the hilt of her sword. Pausing for a moment, as much to let all eyes settle on her as to focus, she drew the sword and brought it down on the hapless scaled creature in one motion, cutting it cleanly in half. Then she flipped one half into the frying pan with the sword blade, and the other with her hand. She moved to the mouth of the Cave with the wood under her arm to set up the camp fire. "Would somebody mind bringing those spices over while I light this?" She asked.	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,041	1,347	39	641	893	Mantam was quick to start sulking. "I see how it is Cynthia, I convince Cat to stay and you take all the fun work." Mantam said, flopping onto the chair formerly occupied by Cynthia, folding her arms in exaggerated anger. "I bet I'm a better cook then you." Mantam said under her breath, just loud enough for Cynthia to hear. Mantam was hardly actually angry, knowing that the group would probably perceive her hyperbole. "Who the hell cooks with a Katana? That's unnecessarily campy, use a knife like a regular person Cynthia."	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright.

50,044	1,347	42	446	7,203	I think I'm more concerned about her insulting me as a blade master. Cynthia said, fanning the ember she had just made in the sticks. "I for one wouldn't be caught dead using a blade less than half my level, so if you can find a level three kitchen knife, then we can talk." She quickly dashed back to the table and grabbed the spices she left there and dashed back, flipping the fish with a flick of her wrist before adding the seasoning. The irony was that when she was doing almost anything else, she used the menus and automatic systems, but with fighting or cooking she couldn't allow the system to help her. "Besides," She added, keeping an eye on the meal. "I'd like to see you use a knife to cut a fish as cleanly as my sword."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,045	1,347	43	377	26,014	Cattypea leaned up against the wall, deciding not to join in this antics, but merely watching. She could have joined in, could have offered to cook, but decided against joining in that fight. Instead, she just watched them, her spirits, usually quite low, lifted at the simplicity of being around the group. She was smiling slightly, amused at the use of a katana as a culinary tool, but couldn't deny the effectiveness of it. She loved them. That was it. She had come to depend on them, to depend on the simplicity of their company, of the adventures they had, of merely sitting around in The Cave. That was the simplicity of it. She loved them. So perhaps taking a little bit more time to sit back, watch a fight to cook fish, and hang with good company was worth it. She smiled, laying her staff down, and she couldn't help it. She laughed, a carefree, happy sound that had an odd hint of music in it. "Oh, I don't know what I would do without you guys, without the game" she said, a somewhat crooked smile forming. "A blade, or a knife, it still makes good fish" She said	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i.

She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,046	1,347	44	1,918	8,272	And now, it's Mantam's turn to come up with a witty retort to that epic burn. Raijin was enjoying playing announcer to this little, almost culinary stand off. He knew that Cynthia was hard to bait into things like this, so he doubted that she was going to go for it, but he had his finger's crossed that Mantam would be able to get under her skin, and hit her where it hurts. Flicking his ear in Cat's direction, he gave a fanged grin to his fellow wildborn, tail wagging in happiness. "I agree, this group is like, well, like a family to me. The closest thing I'll ever have to one anyway," He mumbled the last part softly, lookong a way from Cat, his ears and tail lowered. For a second, just a split second, one could see the person who resided in Raijin, the scared boy who would never seek help, even when he needed it. But as quick as a flash, it was gone and Raijin was back in full force, except now his smile didn't quite reach all the way up to his eyes anymore.

50,047	1,347	45	560	1,409	Dark comedy, cold as the ocean... A warm breeze drifted into The Cave and found it's way to Marinette. A reminder of the world outside of the cave, a world outside of Paradise, everything outside of the exclave of companionship the group had forged, already in a world already designed to be the perfect escape. The gentle wind reminded Marinette that their lovely cave had no lighting-- it was all natural, well, "natural." Still, the late afternoon sun of Paradise gently illuminated the cave with an orange glow, the smiling silhouettes of people she-- he, Ness did too, they considered allies, crushes, friends, best friends even-- the word 'family' hit hard. It did every time someone here deemed it apropos to use. The air hit her skin-- the second skin to Ness, that felt just as natural, if not moreso than his own, and it carried that message, that brutal reminder that she and he felt that familial bond with some of these people-- some skill in high school-- that they were his sisters and brothers. But were they? That doubt. The doubt persisted with Ness when he had to leave the game for an off day or two a week, the doubt that lay subtly beneath every sarcastic remark Marinette made, the doubt that haunted and predated each of their existences... the sham of an existence they shared. A more preferred skin for the same insecure mind, the only real difference was that Marinette could hide that doubt. The breezy afternoon was warm-- in Paradise they were always perfect, even the storms-- but that chilling thought came with it's comforting gale. "On that laugh to keep from crying..." Too many emotions, best go get some air... Right. She just needed to go and isolate herself for a bit, nothing wrong with that... The Cave has always been a little stuffy, she just needed a little fresh air. She didn't actively sneak as she left the cave, but with everyone else's antics, she probably just blended in. She glided out of the outcrop that was The Cave's entrance, and into the grass and bright sunlight of Paradise, the sunlight of this planet at least. The artificial light warmed her skin, she wandered, looking for a place to settle down, not terribly far from the cave. Eventually she found a place with the shade of the trees but the heat of the sun, the Esquen collapsed on the grass and looked the glowing ball of code. The Paradise sun. Here she didn't have to fear losing her eyesight, not like Ness... She brushed hair out of her eyes to get a better look, another thing that was foreign to Ness... A new jazzy song overtook her sense of hearing, and she couldn't help but finding herself bobbing her head with the beat, the grass around her, bobbing too, with the wind. From her inventory, she brought out an Esquen cigar, and lit it with her magic in tune with the music. Ness smoked in real life, but only got to try an actual cigar in the world of Paradise. It couldn't have been a fake approximation, the smokey taste filled Marinette's body better than anything the Earth could possibly offer. With another puff, he snake hissed awake. Anima came slithering out of whatever cranny of armor it hid in and wrapped itself around the freelancer's well worn sleeve. It was sophisticated AI, but the tiny golden serpent still had some mysterious 'daww' factor to it. Marinette filled her virtual lungs with smoke again, and let the music be all she heard for the moment. The pair laid in the grass and simply basked in the sun, the silver smoke being the only indicator of their presence.

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

He chuckled a patted Mantams head playfully saying "Oh cheer up, Im sure youre an excellent cook!".As he passed, he pet Void a little more, being a little more hyper to try and attempt to rowl the wolf up before jogging to where the spices were. After quickly equipping them, he went over to where the campfire was as well as Cynthia/Caroline and set them on the floor next to her. He flopped down as he watched her cook, rolling a rock he had found in his hand. "heh, its like a ninja kitchen when you cook with that thing" he said jokingly to her.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more!

50,049	1,347	47	641	893	Mantam went over to her pack, and pulled out her precious kitchen knife. She made a show of pointing it challengingly at Cynthia. "I'll have you know," Mantam said, throwing the knife into the air and catching it as it fell back down, "This knife if Level 5." That was a lie. Of course. But Cynthia could hardly tell the difference from the surface. "I think it's fine enough to fillet you Cynthia, while you're still squirming, if I wanted to." Mantam said in the overly exaggerated voice of a villain, grinning.	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise.

She finished and set the pan down on a nearby rock while she waited. "Tell you what Tam, if my Katana can't cut through your knife, then I'll agree that the knife is superior." She said, a glint in her eye, "But if it can, then you have to buy a sword and use it for cooking from now on."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,051	1,347	49	1,918	8,272	Now what are you to do, Mantam. Can you put your money where your mouth is? I think you've bitten off more than you could chew. Raijin knew that Mantam was bullshitting about her knife and was curious as to how she would get out off this one. She could always just not take the bet, but he hoped she'd try to trick Cynthia or something like that. Void walked over to where Cynthia was cooking, and began rubbing on the Fae Blademaster's legs, trying to get some table scraps.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,052	1,347	50	1,867	444	Hazard nodded and went over to grab a plate for Cynthia. He noticed that they only had just enough for each group to have one plate, and he found that amusing. Anything to save a bit of gold huh? He took the plate over and gave it to Cynthia and sat back down, petting Void as he did. "Heh, level five and I have yet learned the cooking skill. I should probably get on that huh?" he said with a sheepish smile. He watched as she went on to cook the fish, adding spices and such before leaning back on his arms and looking out of the cave exit. "It's funny, I am pretty sure you were cooking in that same spot when I decided to come introduce myself when I first got here."

50,053	1,347	51	641	893	Mantam gave a sly smile to Cynthia. If there was one rule that Mantam always observed when it came to betting, it would be 'Never bet against a magic-user'. Although Mantam's school of magic, Mirage Shifting, focused on the ability to transform one's body, there were a group of System Spells usable by all magic professions, and one that she had picked up on her alt was a spell of Fortification. Although she never learned it on this character, she knew the magic words, and merely had to think it. She repeated the words thrice in her head, and a sheen of protective magic coated her paltry Level 2 Kitchen Knife, imperceptible to a non-magic-user like Cynthia. Mantam made a show of raising the knife towards Cynthia, grinning, her triumph against her all but guaranteed. Cynthia's Level 4 Katana would not be able to pierce her superior magical barrier. "Enguard," Mantam said in an over-exaggerated voice, befit of a stage actor playing a traitorous villain, "If you dare." Mantam hastily added.

50,054	1,347	52	377	26,014	Cattypea watched the continual debate over a knife or sword for cutting up a fish. It amused her, but if the sword worked, then she didn't see any reason for it not to be used. She smiled, then occupied herself by creating a ball of light and moving it about. She thought things like this would help her with her ability to cast spells quickly, but also to change their momentum and direction, as well as enabling her to mix spells together. She concentrated, trying to add flame to the ball of light. It didn't work how she wanted it to, but she imagined it would be a bit of trial and error. She sighed, and returned to watching the others. She studied them, letting herself just randomly think as she watched them. They were all quite individual, and yet she considered them all friends. She rolled her eyes and said "can you decide which is best and just cook the fish instead of torturing everyone?" She said. She raised an eyebrow, catching what Mantam did even though she didn't use any magic words, but didn't say anything. It was so easy to consider Mantam...almost Like a sister. She hummed and leaned back again to continue watching the show	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,055	1,347	53	1,918	8,272	Raijin flicked his ears as he noticed Mantam's little spell, if only just barely. He said nothing, as Cynthia hadn't forbade the use of magic in the bet. A rather obvious thing to remember when making a bet with a magic user, at least in his opinion. He also noticed Cat's experiment with magic as well. He used magic himself sometimes, but much preferred to go in close to eviscerate his opponents than blast them with spells. Thus, most of his spells focused on buffing his beast or himself, so he had very little to offer offensively. "Maybe I should start, never know when it might come in handy." So he started up the Interpret System and began to focus his mana reserve on a spell he had in mind, one that used the Soul bond he shared with Void. Focusing on his right hand-where he wore his Xenomaster gauntlet as well as where the Soul bond magic was strongest- he began to shape his mana, which was an ethereal mixture of green and black, into a wolf's head. But just as it finished forming -Poof- it burst as he ran out of mana. He couldn't help lowering his ears in disapointment. Oh well, maybe next level, when he could put more points into his Focus skill. He noticed Grey leaving the cave, to do who knows what. Normally, he would call out for him to wait for the food, but the guy hardly ever ate. Well, hardly ever ate real food, that is. Raijin didn't know what was in those packs the Cyborg ate from, but he knew for damn sure it wasn't food, stuff didn't taste edible at all. Raijin sometimes wondered if the Cyborg had redesigned his taste buds so he could eat those things without barfing, because they were cheap as hell since no one ever bought them. He would not be surprised in the slightest if that turned out to be true.

"I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape.

(The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group?

50,056	1,347	54	446	7,203	Cynthia grinned and reached over her shoulder again, not bothering to say the words in her head. "Wind and wing, the swift prevail. Wind and wing, the swift prevail. Wind and wing, the swift prevail." As she said the phrase a third time, her katana took on a green film, and suddenly it had gone from it's sheath to an inch off the ground, without seeming to have crossed the space between. A second later, a gust of wind blew past, and the knife, along with it's fortification spell, broke off halfway up the blade. "Don't feel bad," Cynthia said, resheathing her sword with little flourish, "you challenged a Blade Master to a sword duel, this was the only possible outcome." She turned back to the pan and tilted the finished food onto the plate. "Especially a Bushido user like me." She added, looking at the fish they had. "It looks like one of us isn't getting any," she said sadly, "I suppose I could go without this time."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,057	1,347	55	1,867	444	AWWW SNAP exclaimed Hazard as the knife shattered under Cynthia's sword. He went on to jokingly bow at the blademaster, exclaiming "not worthy not worthy!" to her before falling back and laughing. However her next comment stopped him quickly and look up at her. Hazard frowned as Cynthia said they were going to go without everyone being fed, and he placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "Go on and take it, I had a candy bar already and I am full health, so I really dont need anything." he said with a smile, hoping to receive one in return.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game?

50,058	1,347	56	1,918	8,272	Hey Cynth, are you including Grey in your calculations, cause he left already. Raijin helpfully informed the blademaster, still a little shocked at how she had busted right through Mantam's enchantment. She coud do some serious damage with that thing. "I'm actually a little worried about you paying me back now." Raijin would have to keep an eye on her, though with that riduclous Agility stat, he doubt it mattered at the moment. Maybe he should put points in that instead of Focus.

At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? First character made once the game started How long have they been a part of the group? He was about the halfway mark Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Prince came across him while exploring at one point and decided to do a quest with him. been friends since.
50,061	1,347	59	1,046	4,333	Prince smiled as he watched everything unfold. There wasn't much for him to say at the moment so he walked over to Cat and took a seat next to her. "Quite the show, eh?" He remarked, chuckling a bit. He noticed both Marinette and Grey had left the room but it didn't really strike him as odd so he just let it be. Marinette probably just wanted quiet... as for Grey... the dude was a mystery to him as much as females were. Which made sense consider the guy never revealed his gender, people just assumed it was a male. He let his hands fall back as he leaned back, his braid touching the floor and his legs spread out. "I enjoy cooking but I also enjoy watching Cynthia cook. She always makes a show of it. Then again, I guess we all make a show of somethings. Egoism, I suppose." He continued, stealing a look at Cat. "Sorry for touching you without permission earlier. I won't do it again." He told the wildborn, smiling softly at her. For some reason, the young Ki Brawler felt a sort of... emptiness in pit of his stomach... But it wasn't the sort of emptiness that comes from hunger. It wasn't particularly that he couldn't figure out the reason but was more along the lines of not wanting to realize. Ignorance was most certainly bliss all things considered. Outside of Paradise, an empty apartment waited for him. It... wasn't that his parents didn't love him, in fact they probably loved him a bit too much... It was just that.. no one else ever seemed to care. Even when it seemed that they did, it almost always turned out that they didn't. Logan had experienced far too much back stabbing to truly trust anyone anymore, far too much... "So, what's your favorite animal, Cat?" Prince asked suddenly, turning with a smile to look at Cat once again.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.) Chest - Worn Shirt (Dyed Black) Right Hand - Staff (Two handed) Legs - Worn Pants (Gray) Spare Weapon #1 - Frying Pan ~Personality~ Logan is a rather quiet boy who tends to keep to himself. He finds it hard to be himself around people, the fear of rejection out weighing his desire to be loved. Living by himself didn't help matters either. It just led to a lot of misconceptions about him and his past. Rumors flew through the air around him. That he'd killed his own parents and that he joined the mafia. Because of his rough appearance a lot of people believed it. After all, how could a guy who looked so angry all the time be anything but bad news? In Paradise, however, Logan had no fears. Under the pretense of "Prince", he held no fear of being himself. A fun loving and warm individual. Prince can talk just a bit too much but he always means well. He's also a bit of a free spirit, doing whatever he wants when he wants. If it is something he'd rather not do, he won't. ~Background~ Logan, despite what people think, has a family that is relatively well off. When they deicded to move, he didn't want anything to change and so he stayed in their old home by himself while his parents moved to another part of the country. Not wanting to face the fear of rejection again, he decided to stay and simply play the part they'd wanted to give him. When he found out about Paradise, he asked his parents and they had the game shipped to his home. Since then, he hasn't gone out much besides going to school every now and then and soon even that ended as he spent all of his time in the game with his new friends. Because of the mask Logan could wear, he felt safe to be himself and made a few friends with whom he spent a good deal of his time. Paradise was truly a paradise for him. ~Other~ Still WIPsy since I still need Chuks approval for something. :P ☹ ("Enemies") ☺ ("Friends") ✧ ("BFFs") ♪ ("Neutral") ♡ ("Could Be Something More ~") Characters: \|☹\| Prince - "..." \|✧\| Cynthia - "She's pretty awesome!

How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) ~A few weeks old. (Prince is Logan's 2nd attempt at making Prince. He gave up the first time but now he's seems to be sticking with it. Mostly.) How long have they been a part of the group? ~Since it's creation a few weeks ago. He met Cynthia at level 1 and they began to find themselves bumping into one another frequently and decided to simply make a group with the cave they'd stumbled upon. Weeks later, he and Cynthia had managed to fill all of the spots in the party. Who invited them to the group? ~He and Cynthia created it. Who, from the group, did they meet first? ~Cynthia Real Name: Caroline Night Username: Cynthia Black Title: "Fatal Edge" Age: 17 (Ingame 18) Gender: Female Race: Fae (Green Dragonfly wings) Class: Blademaster Level: 5 Stat Build: STR 5 AGI 9 FOC 1 Skills: Swords (Katana, Longsword, Greatsword) Exotic Weapons (Chain Knife, Grappling Hook, Throwing Knife) Cooking Equipment: Chest Armor (Coat, Level 3) Wrist Equipment (Gloves, Vanity) Ear Equipment (Cross Earings, Vanity) Neck Equipment (Cape, Air Resistance) Sword (Katana, level 4) Sword (Longsword, Named , level 5, Fire Attribute) Sword (Greatsword, level 3) Exotic Weapon (Chain Knife, Level 2) Exotic Weapon (Grappling Hook, Level 3) Bio:: Caroline is fed up with the real world, after her sister vanished. She escaped into Paradise and threw herself into it, training constantly to escape the gnawing guilt that she might have been the reason for her sister running away. She detests nothing more than injustice, and will always stand up for what she thinks is right, no matter who is pitted against her. Other: I'll try to make his look prettier when I'm feeling less lazy. Lol.
50,062	1,347	60	641	893	Mantam frowned. She threw her now broken knife haphazardly behind her. "Useless System Spells, can't even protect a dumb knife against some useless Katana." Mantam grumbled, this time too quiet for Cynthia to here. She knew better then to claim that the use of skills was cheating. She was sure a few others in the room picked up on her little trick and that doing so would just cause her to look like a hypocrite. "You can keep your damn fish, I've suddenly lost my appetite." Mantam said, sulking over the loss of her precious kitchen knife. She noticed the absence of Marinette and Grey after the commotion died down. Not exactly a surprise, out of the entire group she would probably count them as the most prone to disappear. Not that she didn't like either of them, however. Mantam, downtrodden after her loss to Cynthia, resumed Grey's now empty spot at the crafting table. Crafting was Mantam's typical way to cool down, and she quickly set to work, not making gear that would truly benefit her, but making gear merely to level the skill. As the only one in the group to take up Artificing she felt obliged to keep the group well equipped on the magical side of affairs. In a game with so many item slots, especially one that adopts a slower leveling style like Paradise, it was quite the chore to keep your equipment up to snuff, so a crafter such as Mantam was an asset to any group. Some of the higher-tier guilds have whole sections of members dedicated to crafting, but their small group had no such numbers to warrant anything like that. The specific item that Mantam was making was a magical Foci. When it came to your conventional Caster class there were a few styles of weapon that can be used. The most common- and the only ones available at her current crafting level- were the Foci and Wand or the Staff. The Staff, while affording more raw damage stats, wasn't incredibly useful to the Mirage Shifter class, as they didn't use offensive magic per se, instead relying on a combination of FOC and AGI. Thus, the Foci and Wand were the superior choices for her class, allowing a larger mana pool. That is, the Foci doesn't exactly lengthen the user's mana pool, but instead lower the casting requirement for spells. A small difference, but one that may matter in very high level play. But Mantam's theorycrafting was hardly of consequence at the group's current level of play. Lower levels were less about mechanical knowledge of the game and more about the mere drive to keep playing, which wasn't exactly hard to find in a game as tantalizing as Paradise.	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise. Characters: ☺ Prince- "Prince is a nice guy, and he has an odd tendency to bring people together. He's a good friend." ☺ Cynthia- "Cynthia seems to harbor some kind of guilt she doesn't let on about, but she's a nice person, and one of my friends." ☺ Marinette- "Marinette's avatar is really creepy looking. Besides that, nice person, good friend." ☺ cattypea- "I like Catty. Catty is one of my friends." ♡ Mantam- "Me.

Mantam only recently made this character, choosing to adopt it when the rest of her friends began playing. How long have they been a part of the group? Mantam has been with the group since almost the start. Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Mantam happened to stumble upon the Cave post-occupation by Prince and Cynthia, and somehow managed to find herself with a new group of friends.
50,063	1,347	61	377	26,014	Cat shook her head at the antics. Both Raijin and Hazard seemed a little childish, but she would expect that from boys. It was all friendly rivally between Cynthia and Mantam, she knew. Cat shook her head at the antics. Both Raijin and Hazard seemed a little childish, but she would expect that from boys. It was all friendly rivally between Cynthia and Mantam, she knew. And she thought that' was what made the group great. The friendly banter, and way of working together. Cattypea blinked when Prince came over to her, to sit with here and talked. She wasn't surprised that he seemed to enjoy all their company, given that as far as she knew, Prince had invited at least some of the group. Kalinda wasn't too sure. She had seemed to come in when everyone else was apart of the group, having been invited along by Prince. She had felt awkward, out of place and unsure of what to do. She was glad now that she had stuck it out, stayed with the group. "It's always a show around here" she replied with a smile, "friends like to show off for their friends" at his apology, she bit her lip. Perhaps she had been slightly harsh. But...it was one of the only things she remembered of her father. Rubbing her hair and messing it up. But how to explain that to Prince without having to get into all the background detail? She sighed softly, looking to him. Prince was all in all, a pretty cool guy. He seemed lonely, and perhaps that was just her reaching loneliness with loneliness but....she had become adapt at reading people. Most of their emotions could be seen in the eyes. She had learned sadness and loneliness pretty quickly. "I'm sorry" she said softly "I shouldn't have reacted like I did. It's just..." She heaved in a breath, and let it out slowly, "my dad died when I was four. Having him tussle my hair like you did is literally one of the only things I can remember about him, besides his laugh. It's a touching subject with me, and...I let my emotions control me" she licked her lips, a nervous habit of hers. She was glad for the chance to move on and answer his question. "I guess I don't really have a favorite animal, but I guess I'd have to say....horse" she said with a shrug. "What's yours?" She asked curiously, looking to him, seeing that he was looking to her as well. She smiled	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,064	1,347	62	1,046	4,333	Prince listened quietly as she told him about her father. He usually clammed up when stuff like this was mentioned and was glad when she moved onto to his next question. He wasn't exactly one for dealing with your problems and certainly not other people's. Though now he knew to avoid touching Cat like that again. He was carefree but he was also understanding so he'd make a point to avoid it in the future. "Well... I like goats, if I have to be honest. They're just so amusing to watch." He chuckled. "Besides, I'd enjoy the lifestyle of a goat, playing with your friends all day long, not a care in the world." He continued, smiling over at Cat. "Why a horse though? You just like 'em?" He asked, curious.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.)

50,065	1,347	63	1,867	444	Hazard sighed as he watched Mantam sulk over to the crafting table where Grey was earlier and began tomess around with some equipment. An idea popped into his head as he hopped up and went to his bag, rummaging though the little knick knacks that he had found through his little treasure hunts and managed to pull out a hilt without a blade. He figured that she could do something with this considering how detailed the crafting system was. The hilt even had a space for a crystal to add a magic effect to it, and he knew of her ability to make and repair magic equipment. He walked over to her and sat on the ground next to the table, looking up at her and watching her craft. He honestly liked seeing her when she was so focused, the way her eyes looked so dead set on the task. He gave a small cough to get her attention, and he slowly raised up the hilt to her and set it on the table, patting it before slowly lowering his hand from the table. "In your spare time if you want something to mess with" he said with a smile before getting back up and walking away. He heard the conversation between Catt and Prince and snuck over to them, flopping in front of them with his big goofy smile and said "Mine is the Cheetah!" somewhat boisterously for good humor.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game?

50,066	1,347	64	377	26,014	Cattypea smiled at Hazard as he joined them "you just like to be fast" she said, deliberately reaching over and poking him, quickly moving back to avoid retaliation. "A horse because....they are majestic creatures. Loyal. They might get scared, but more often then not, they stick around and make sure their rider is okay. I heard a story once about a horse, who when it's owner went to retrieve a baby cow, protected her as the mama cow charged her, desperate for her kid. If the horses hadn't been there, she'd probably be dead. But beyond that, there's nothing that quite compares to being with a horse when it's in full gallop" she said with a smile. She shrugged, "but all animals are awesome" she said, "I want to have a job where I can just work with animals all day" she smiled almost shyly and her ears twitched slightly, feeling oddly embarrassed at that childish dream.	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,067	1,347	65	1,918	8,272	Raijin walked over to Mantam, watching her work her magic. "Whatcha making Mantam, anything interesting?" As all the excitement began to cool down, so did Raijin. His voice had gone from snarky and mischievous to serious and quiet. Right now, his ear were perked up, each at an angle, as he tried to figure out what Mantam was making. "Hey, I was wondering if you could make me something, a ring or something, that could help me with spell casting? I'm thinking of focusing a little more in the magical ablities of my class for a little while." Speaking of spells and abilities he remembered something else, something he had just recently discovered. He turned to call over to Cat. "Hey Cat, ever hear of a passive-ish ability called 'Bloodrage'? It says it's a racial power, so I figured that I should give you a heads up. Then again, you might not get it though, since it says some species of wildborn do not recieve this skill. Sadly, it didn't specify." Probably said something on the wiki, but he didn't feel like checking it. And from what he read, the ability probably wouldn't suit her, since she was a magic user, and thus, relied heavily on her Focus stat. "And just for the halibut, my favorite animal is a deer." He had overheard their conversation earlier, and didn't want to make Cat uncomfortable by adding more people to the mix, but now that the conversation had moved on into favorite animals, he couldn't help but talk about it. Animals were awesome. "You know I sometimes volunteer at an animal shelter. Oh what I would do to take home just one animal to haveas a pet. But my foster mother never let me have one." He placed a hateful emphasis on the word 'mother'.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,068	1,347	66	446	7,203	Cynthia finished cooking the fish and wound up with 8 halves, and only just realizing that Marin had left, which made six people in the room. "Alright, I guess I miscounted, everyone grab a plate." She said cheerfully, wandering over to Mantam with two plates in her hands. "Here, try it," She said, putting one of the plates next to her. "And sorry about the knife, I'll pay for a new one." She sat down nearby and took a bite of her food, chewing carefully. "Mph," she said, swallowing, "I could have done worse with random spices from my bag." She grinned at Mantam, pointing with her fork. "You know, you don't really have to use a Katana to cook from now on. I never told you I was going to use one of my abilities to help me cut it."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,069	1,347	67	1,046	4,333	Prince chuckled at Hazard and Cat, enjoying the moment. It made sense for Hazard to like Cheetah's, he'd always had a hard time sitting still. "Cheetah's are amazing, I don't know what I'd do with that kind of speed. Probably crash." Prince spoke, shaking his head slightly. He looked back over to Cat when she began to explain her reasoning. Prince simply nodded as she spoke, agreeing with her. "That sounds pretty nice." He spoke wistfully. "It's nice to have something to look forward to..." He continued, immediately regretting it. "Anyway, I'd also enjoy being a bird. I'd love to know what it feels like to fly without the... yanno... falling bit." He spoke. He needed something else to talk about but his mind was suddenly blank. With a sigh, Prince let himself fall against the hard ground of the cave, his arms held behind his head. With sad and lonely eyes, the blonde stared up at the top of the cave, a small smile held on his face. "Or a fish. I'd love to live in the ocean. It's so beautiful." He added. At the sound of Cynthia calling everyone to eat, Prince jumped up, walking over to grab a plate. Plate in hand, he walked back to Cat and sat down, his legs crossed. With a satisfied smile, Prince munched on the glorious meal. With a flick of his hand, he pulled down his inventory and pulled out his canteen filled with fresh water and took a sip in between bites every now and then.	~Real Name~ Logan West ~Username~ Prince267 ~Title~ "The White Knight" ~Real Age/In-Game Age~ 18/18 ~Real Gender/In-Game Gender~ Male/Male ~Race~ Human ~Class~ Ki Brawler ~Level~ Level: 4 ~Stat Build~ STR = 4 FOC= 2 AGI = 6 ~Skills~ ~Repair (Staff and Small Machine) ~Weapon (Staff) ~Fighting ~Cooking (Simple Dishes) ~Equipment~ ~Weapon (Staff Level 3) ~Frying Pan (Used for cooking, and hitting idiots over the head.) ~Simple Traveler's Clothes ~Silver Chain ~Small Ear Ring ~Equipment Slots~ Ear - Small Ear Ring (Slightly improves Agility) Neck - Thin Silver Chain (Gives a small amount of protection against magic projectiles.) Chest - Worn Shirt (Dyed Black) Right Hand - Staff (Two handed) Legs - Worn Pants (Gray) Spare Weapon #1 - Frying Pan ~Personality~ Logan is a rather quiet boy who tends to keep to himself. He finds it hard to be himself around people, the fear of rejection out weighing his desire to be loved. Living by himself didn't help matters either. It just led to a lot of misconceptions about him and his past. Rumors flew through the air around him. That he'd killed his own parents and that he joined the mafia. Because of his rough appearance a lot of people believed it. After all, how could a guy who looked so angry all the time be anything but bad news? In Paradise, however, Logan had no fears. Under the pretense of "Prince", he held no fear of being himself. A fun loving and warm individual. Prince can talk just a bit too much but he always means well. He's also a bit of a free spirit, doing whatever he wants when he wants. If it is something he'd rather not do, he won't. ~Background~ Logan, despite what people think, has a family that is relatively well off. When they deicded to move, he didn't want anything to change and so he stayed in their old home by himself while his parents moved to another part of the country. Not wanting to face the fear of rejection again, he decided to stay and simply play the part they'd wanted to give him. When he found out about Paradise, he asked his parents and they had the game shipped to his home. Since then, he hasn't gone out much besides going to school every now and then and soon even that ended as he spent all of his time in the game with his new friends. Because of the mask Logan could wear, he felt safe to be himself and made a few friends with whom he spent a good deal of his time. Paradise was truly a paradise for him. ~Other~ Still WIPsy since I still need Chuks approval for something. :P ☹ ("Enemies") ☺ ("Friends") ✧ ("BFFs") ♪ ("Neutral") ♡ ("Could Be Something More ~") Characters: \|☹\| Prince - "..." \|✧\| Cynthia - "She's pretty awesome!

50,070	1,347	68	1,867	444	Hazard made a playful bite toward Catts finger as she poked him, and chuckled as she went on to explain why she loved horses. "Yeah, theyre cool I guess" he said in response. He looked over at Prince as he named off the animals he would want to be, curious as to the expression in the guys eyes. However he went back to his normal smile and Hazard let it be. Once it was called on for food, he smiled and rolled backwards until he reverse summersaulted onto his feet, heading to the table. He took a bite of the fish, rolling back his eyes as the taste of it graced his taste buds. "I swear, I think this is so much more tasty than IRL food" he said after swallowing a mouthfull.

He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? First character made once the game started How long have they been a part of the group? He was about the halfway mark Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Prince came across him while exploring at one point and decided to do a quest with him. been friends since.
50,072	1,347	70	377	26,014	It seemed everyone wanted to talk to her. It threw her slightly, and she quickly gathered her mental capabilities in order to answer them all. She decided on Raijin first. "I have heard of it, but aren't awarenof what it does or even if I have access to the ability" she shrugged "but my guess is it wouldn't be suitable for me, since I probably don't have the physical strength for it" she said "as I prefer to focus on magic. I guess theres abilities and things for each type of user. Something we will have to discover, I guess. Deer? Really? They are quite graceful" she mused. She liked Raijin. He was a bit goofy, kinda like a big kid, but he was sweet and nice and that was all that mattered in her book. Hazard was some of the same, but he did it in a more...well outgoing way, but also in a more quite way then Raijin. They were kind of like brothers, she supposed. She smiled, knowing she was thinking too much on a subject that didn't really need it. But she like those types of thoughts. She poked her tongue out at Hazard when he playfully tried to bite her finger and missed. She listened to Prince as he spoke about the animals he wanted to be. such a strange individual she thought, wondering how anyone could seem so lonely and distant when surrounded by people that liked them. It was like he expected them to just all disappear. Fish. Bird. Animals that were grouped together, a school of fish. A flock of birds. In other words, animals that were social beings. That always had at least one other. He craved companionship, she thought, yet fears it will be taken away if he gets close. you do think to much. Maybe you should be a paychologist she chuckled to herself in amusement. She rose, grabbing some fish for herself and sitting back down the them, "I imagine anything tastes great after a month of TV dinners" she said with anusement "home made cooking is always good. Well....mine is" she said with a laugh, and a shrug "but this food is pretty awesome to"	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,073	1,347	71	641	893	As Hazard dropped off some random crafting component, Mantam turned to thank him. "Thanks, I'm sure I can do something with it... a blacksmith might have more use of it, but I'll have more fun with it." She said with a coy smile. Next she addressed Raijin, "Yeah, I'll get on that when I have some time. I haven't really worked with Xenomaster equipment much, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out." Finally, she begrudgingly accepted Cynthia's Katana tainted fish. Despite her claim that she wasn't hungry, she was. She turned to her, laughing internally at her offer to buy another knife, oblivious to Mantam's own cheating. She took a bite of the fish before turning to Cynthia, grinning, "The fish is good. Don't worry about the knife. You didn't tell me about the ability you used, but I didn't tell you about the fortification spell I put on the knife. I guess that magic notwithstanding, the Swordmaster will have her way in a sword fight." Lastly, hearing the talk of animals, Mantam shouted over the chatter, "Wolf! Obvious."	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise. Characters: ☺ Prince- "Prince is a nice guy, and he has an odd tendency to bring people together. He's a good friend." ☺ Cynthia- "Cynthia seems to harbor some kind of guilt she doesn't let on about, but she's a nice person, and one of my friends." ☺ Marinette- "Marinette's avatar is really creepy looking. Besides that, nice person, good friend." ☺ cattypea- "I like Catty. Catty is one of my friends." ♡ Mantam- "Me.

He's one of my friends." ☺ Raijin- "He's quiet, and can get a bit brutal in fights, but he's a friend of mine.

Truly one of my main girls." How long has your character been playing the game? Mantam got the game on release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? Mantam only recently made this character, choosing to adopt it when the rest of her friends began playing. How long have they been a part of the group? Mantam has been with the group since almost the start. Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Mantam happened to stumble upon the Cave post-occupation by Prince and Cynthia, and somehow managed to find herself with a new group of friends.
50,074	1,347	72	1,918	8,272	Thanks Mantam, your the best. Raijin said as he ruffled her hair a little, quickly moving away with his plate before she could retaliate. Taking bites of the food, he could have cried, it was so good. His ear's laid down on the sides of his head and his tail wagging vigorously. "Cynthia, your cooking is amazing. Best thing I've ever tasted, for sure. Gosh, if this keeps up, I might get addicted. Void, you gotta try some of this." He took a piece of his fish and threw it over to Void, who jumped up to snatch it out of air. When she landed, she howled happily, in full agreement wuth her master's opinion on the food. She sat down in the floor between Cat and Prince, catching and scraps that Raijin, or anyone else, threw at her. Raijin returned his attention to Cat when he heard her remark at his favorite animal. "Not what you expected huh, I guess it has to do with their inherently gentle appearence that hides a fierce strength. Plus, they care for each other, stand up for each other. I guess they represent qualities I wish I had experienced a little more when I grew up."	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,075	1,347	73	1,379	5,171	Miko <Near the cave> A typical red with white colored picnic blanket was waving happily in the air as it slowly dropped down to the ground still in the hands of the girl Miko. She gave a heavy sigh while she brushed the corners of the picnic blanket right. Her stomach gave a loud growl as she opened up the picnic basket. It felt like ages she had a good decent meal, mob grinding wasn't her favorite hobby but it all belonged to the game she was playing. The inside of the basket was fairly filled with food just for her only, it was all bought at the market since she didn't spend any points in cooking and wouldn't even know how to cook in real life. If she even tried cooking it would end up all black and burned together with remaining ashes of the food that somehow worked out better than the burned food. Miko sat down onto the blanket with her knees and was just about to eat the sandwich as the strong wind flew by. One side of the cloth raised from the ground and flew up against Miko her back. It surprised her a little but she quickly placed the cloth right again and found some small rocks on the corners to keep it nicely in place. The girl finally started her long beloved sandwich, it didn't take long before it was completely devoured by her mouth. A small burp escaped her mouth that made her giggle a bit, while she grabbed the next half out of the basket. After the girl finished all her sandwiches, she placed the basket into her inventory again, some pieces of the sandwiches still remained on her face but she didn't notice any of it, since she saw something pretty interesting to her. A silvery smoke could be seen from under some of the trees close to her picnic spot. She felt curious to know what it could possibly be, maybe it was something she could use to upgrade a vehicle or something or maybe a new indicator to secret treasure she hasn't seen yet. Miko slowly moved her body into a squatting position while she raised her M1911 from the holster hanging at the side of her hip to the front of her body. With both hands she holded the gun tightly and one of her fingers placed next to the trigger of the pistol ready to fire it anytime. Miko began moving towards the smoke while remaining close to the ground. The distance between her and the mysterious smoke gradually decreased. Her movement wasnt that fast but it was a good way to keep quiet. Miko began to raise her body a bit more when she approached the object lying in the grass and quickly discovered it was not a object. The pistol was pointed at the face of the girl when she stood right next to the person lying in the grass, the girl was smoking a cigarette while napping in the sun with a snake right next to her. It made her worry a little if it could attack her in a instant and she would be done with in one shot of the snakes poison, should she have pointed the gun at the snake or the girl popped up in her head. But there was no time to think about that now. Her breathing was getting a bit heavier when she still was getting closer to the girl, it couldn't possibly be a PKer, not like the other people that she met told her about the PKers around the more lower level areas. The curious voice of Miko sounded, hoping that the girl would hear it through the headphones she was wearing Hey, wake up. Drop your weapons and tell me who you are. I don't mean any harm if you cooperate. She felt like she was really into character just saying it like that, the excitement could be felt throughout whole her body. maybe she could quickly get used to this.

However she is someone who is very trustworthy and helpful towards her friends and sometimes strangers as well, if you want a shoulder to cry in Miko is that person who will care for her friends. Miko tends to be very relaxed most of the time but she is never lazy and knows when to help out whenever it is needed. She is a person who is always pushing against her limits to constantly improve herself. When anything doesnt want to work out for her she just tries again but even harder than before. Background: Miko didn't have an easy life to live, most of her time was spent at home for being sick all of the sudden while she was just having a nice day of normal school. This was all because she was and is still suffering from Lower Respiratory Infections this makes her extremely vulnerable to viruses and such. After her grandpa died of illness she had a small mental breakdown. He was one of the family members to make her laugh a lot even when she was sick, it resulted in staying in the hospital for a long period of time to take care of her 24/7 till she felt somewhat better. Her life wasnt that horrible that she didn't have any fun at all there were also these moments of enjoyment. Like a simple field trip for school or a vacation to a warm land would make her feel full of excitement. The most enjoyable times where of course when her friends came to visit her at home or in the hospital, it wasn't that often but a fair amount to her. There was one thing in the world where she could just forget about it all and be someone else, in the gaming world she could breathe freely without having to worry about something making her sick and stopping her from having her fun. (give me some more time to make it better, this would have to do for now my inspiration fluids died down.) Other: Miko has just like most Pholirites bicolored eyes in the two colours blue and sea greenish, her right eye is blue and her left eye is green.

50,077	1,347	75	560	1,409	Do you jingle when you dingle-dangle? "...No, Miss Banks, I do not..." Marinette half- thought, half-murmured to herself. She filled her lungs with the woody smoke again before letting it out through her nose, like a dragon. There was something about old music like this that drew her toward it... Emotion? Yes. Modern music, while technically accurate, felt hollow in comparison to music from the early 2000's, more flaws, more "real" instruments. It was a strange distinction to make, but older music really resonated with her-- and Ness, too. The orange glow of the sun lightly kissed Marinette's face, pale with make-up. Although the song was a very upbeat one, it's overall theme, combined with the warmth of the sun, the wind, and the cigar as well as the position she was lying in the grass in, all made her feel a pleasant lethargy.... Okay, just a short nap, then back to The Cave. --- "Hey, wake up. Drop your weapons and tell me who you are. I don't mean any harm if you cooperate." Well this isn't a pleasant thing to wake up to... Marinette slowly opened her eyes, and very quickly assessed her assailant and surroundings. The Paradise sun, which followed a schedule similar to the real one, didn't seem to have moved very much, a quick glance down showed her that the cigar was still burning, that was another good sign. As for her mugger; Pholirite, the eyes gave it away, and a gun-- she was FOC based. A smile crept onto Marinette's face as she slowly began to move, complying to her captor's orders. "You don't have to tell me twice!" She said, feigning a sigh of defeat, "I'm Marinette, Mari to my friends..." Getting up onto her knees, she set down her crossbow and looked her attacker right in the bi-colored eyes, "but to you, I'm Marinette." She placed her mace next to it, before slowly moving to stand, "My snake is Anima, she'll be fine," By this point Anima Sola was hissing up a storm, she was reared and read to bite. "ANIMA DOWN!" Marinette turned slowly to face her attacker, arms still in the air, holding nothing but the still burning cigar in her right hand. Her face held a compassionate smile and warm eyes, "You know, I'm really glad you don't mean any harm..." she said it in an almost sing song manner, her hand let the smoking cigar butt drop to the grass. In time with the music--smoke bomb, smoke bomb, smoke bomb-- Summoning all of her AGI, Marinette moved like a shadow the second the plume of smoke billowed into the air from where the cigar touched the ground. She'd move too fast to give her opponent the chance to shoot. She pulled out her hold-out dagger as she stepped behind the attacker, and, pulling their bodies close from behind, held it to the Pholirite's throat. "...Because I do." Feeling the threat had passed, Marinette let the cockiness flow from her voice as she leaned in to speak to the smaller character's ear, "Don't worry though, I won't go Sweeney Todd on you or anything, just know that if you move, I'll be sure to leave a cut..." Her voice was downright braggadocios, Cynthia would've been proud, "Knife's covered in a simple paralyzing agent-- if that doesn't do it, know that Anima is all too willing to bite you... but I can't promise it won't be lethal..." "Now!" She said, still slightly bobbing her head as she held the girl at knife-point, "I'd like you to drop your weapon, and tell me who you are..." Marinette leaned in really close, practically licking the girl's ear, "Oh, and a word of advice, thief to thief..." Her grand smile and large eyes were all the more sinister, given the still lingering smoke, and her skeletal make-up, "If you get the drop on someone, try not to give them a chance to react..."

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

50,078	1,347	76	527	356	There was a dull thud a few feet away from the scene, quickly followed by two short clicks. To anyone not looking out for them, those sounds would probably go unnoticed amidst the ambient noise of the forest, but Marinette was sure recognize them instantly. It was a code Grey had devised for alerting other members of the group of his presence when in potentially tense situations. While he and Marinette liked to sneak up on one another at camp all the time, they had determined that it would probably be best to have a few signals like this one in combat in order to avoid friendly fire. The one he had just used was pretty basic, essentially just a silent "It's me, don't shoot". Sure enough, a few seconds later, the armoured figure of the cyborg emerged from the underbrush, carrying a few small leather bags over a shoulder and rummaging through a slightly larger one as he walked. His blaster was currently retracted back into his forearm, and his demeanor was calm and relaxed, like he was simply just returning from an evening stroll. "Hey Mari!" he greeted the duo pleasantly, as though completely oblivious to the situation. "I take it your nap was enjoyable?" "Ehh, can't complain... can't complain..." she responded with the same casual ease, almost as if discussing the weather. "I got mugged, but it didn't take. How was the uhh... walk?" Finally finding what he was looking for, a plastic pack filled with unappetizing looking jerky, he sat down, back to a nearby boulder, and crossed his legs, carefully setting the bags next to him on the ground. "Oh, I see. Quite pleasant, actually. I went to scout out a few locations for what we were talking about earlier, and I found a few spots that might be suitable." He gave a glance at the bags at his feet. "I hit a few caches I had laid out in the area while I was at it. Figured since we might be moving out soon, it could be a good idea to start packing things early." He opened the packet and took a bite from one of the meat strips from under his mask. "I got some dried meat on the way back, want some?" he offered. "Is it wolf? You know that stuff is bad for you." "Bear actually." "Bear!? That's the good stuff! Almost as good as snake!" At her feet, a certain individual of reptilian persuasion gave an apprehensive hiss. "Oh be quiet, you know I'm only kidding." She admonished, rolling her eyes. She then turned her attention to Miko. "You hungry?"	--- "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." -Niccolo Machiavelli --- --- Real Name: Unknown Username: Undo_13 Title: The Sour Knight (Usually referred to simply as "Grey") Age Nineteen/???

From an outside perspective, it comes across as one of the most profoundly bitter, jaded and cynical attitudes one could possibly encounter. Brash, unpleasant, direct and sarcastic, it gives off a very strong sense of negativity and world weariness, as though always expecting the absolute worst out of people. Nevertheless, oddly enough, Grey is one of the most selfless and helpful people one could encounter. Despite the thick and opaque façade of negativity and pessimism, the so dubbed "Sour Knight" is always one of the first to offer assistance whenever someone is in need of it. In spite of the extremely sardonic attitude, Grey will wade through thousands of miles of putrid, monster infested swamps to bring a quest item to a stranger, scale ice covered cliffs to rescue someone in danger or brave pirate infested regions to escort another player to a highly remote, very inhospitable place. All while constantly complaining about their carelessness, naivety and stupidity, of course. Even while fighting, everything is a lesson in opposites. Vicious, underhanded and unscrupulous, Grey is willing to do pretty much anything to disable a foe... But never, under any circumstances, exploits any sorts of hacks, glitches or cheats. So long as it is in the game, they will mini-max the ever living hell out of it, but never outside of the boundaries of the game. Grey never seems to accept any form of payment for favours whatsoever, regardless of how arduous the task, yet never stops snarking or grumbling about it. Loyal, Sarcastic, Steadfast, Grumpy and Infinitely Patient, thus is the way of the Sour Knight. Background: Even with friends, Grey is particularly reclusive when it comes to revealing anything about real life. Age, Nationality, Financial Status, even Gender, everything is kept secret as much as possible. From what has been hinted in conversations with others of the group, however, it can easily be deduced that Grey's personal life must be pretty unpleasant. There is a certain weariness in those words which can only come from someone whom life has repeatedly hammered down over the years. From a few passing mentions of college or classmates, it is highly likely that Grey is somewhere between the late teens and early twenties, but not much can be known otherwise, not even an area of study. From infrequent leaves of absence and a few offhanded comments about hospital visits, it is also pretty clear that the Sour Knight doesn't exactly have a very good health either. Other: Pholirite Pride! >:D
50,079	1,347	77	377	26,014	Cattypea nodded, listening as Raijin spoke and explained his reasoning besides liking deer. Because Vold was there, and Catty liked to make animals happy, she petted Vold, setting aside her hardly touched fish. "A reasonable reason" she said with a soft laugh "sometimes I wonder if our favorite animals say a lot about us.- d then I tell myself I think too much" she looked up, around at them and smiled. "Are we going to get started on level me before I have to log out, or what?"	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life.

She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,080	1,347	78	1,379	5,171	Miko The girl looked pretty ordinary but not someone you would see every day. A skellington was painted on the girl's face it was very fitting for her though Miko wondered where she had gotten it from. Miko kept switching her aiming between the snake and the girl as the girl slowly sat upright. She felt very confident just simply followed her orders and lowered her guard a bit when the girl dropped her weapons onto the ground. The snake still seemed dangerous to her, so her gun was mostly pointed at the snake its head to make sure it didn't attack her. The smoke from the cigaret blew right into her face, it made her gasp slightly before she started coughing heavily with one of her hands in front of her face. As she was coughing the girl told her name to Miko Mari? she said before the last cough escaped her mouth That is a name you don't hear to often,... I like it. A sharp smile appeared on her face as the girl said she didn't want Miko to call her Mari. The girl didn't look like she wants to get any harm going on right, Maki slowly stood up as Miko tightened the grip around the pistol in her hands. Magi mentioned her snake again making Miko look at the animal again with a sharp eye. It didn't look all to happy and might still do something to her if she didn't pay enough attention to it. She moved back a bit when the girl began yelling at the snake to stand down It doesn't sound to happy to see me. She said with a small chuckle. Something particular the girl was saying sounded a bit of, she lowered her gun a bit to show her face a little while she looked directly into the girl her face What do you mean by that. The cigar in the girl her hands dropped to the ground, Miko her eyes followed the cigar falling to the ground but quickly went back to the girl that started moving towards the back of her HEY, STOP MOV... Eeek a knife could be spotted from the bottom of her eyes and it could be felt pressing lightly onto her throat. The body of the girl was for the most part touching Mikos body now. She didn't feel all to comfortable being this close to the girl with a knife against her throat. Instead of shooting her she tried to press the arm of the girl away with a lot of force but it wouldn't budge in this position. Magi's voice sounded a bit creepier now instead of the sarcasm voice from before. The fact that she could feel the breathing of the girl into her ear made her creep out a little I'm just here to take a break not to kill others. Her voice sounded somewhat of because she was leaning her head a bit backwards away from the knife Ughh, this is really uncomfortable. What about you why are you here. It was to risky to try and shoot her since she could only hit under the stomach of the girl behind her. it would take at least more then 5 shots to kill her and there might be more people around her. The girl threatened her a bit by saying she would cut her if she moved any more and that the knife might even kill her in one go, since it was coated in some sort of poison. The snake could be felt crawling between her legs too, so she was stuck like this and would probably be better to hear the girl out for now. Mari commanded her to drop the gun to the ground, it was probably not the smartest thing to do but what else could she do now. The hand holding the gun slowly released the weapon making it fall in between the grass. I'm Cherry now it made her wonder a bit, was Mari the username of the girl or her real life name since she used her username herself. Miko eyes shot wide open when the girl started licking her ear out of nowhere. It made Miko freak out a little as she started moving a lot by the disgusting feeling around her ear. She tried to hold in the struggling but just couldn't stop it. Even moving her head away from the girl her mouth didn't work, a girlish shriek escaped her mouth Aaahaa w-what are you doing, s-stop it! The girl was still talking to her but she didn't want to hear it. It suddenly seemed to be a very bad idea to sneak up to the girl. Suddenly a robotic looking man appeared out of nowhere, he seemed to clearly know Mari by hearing the conversation between the two. Miko was half crying from the feeling that she had before, sniffing a little hoping the girl wouldn't continue this after she was done talking to the robot looking person that was biting onto a meat jerky from his inventory. She was a bit surprised when the girl asked if she was hungry, the girl clearly didn't make much sense but Miko still felt quite hungry, even after eating the whole basket of sandwiches Can I really? The tears where for the most part gone now as she calmed down a lot.

However she is someone who is very trustworthy and helpful towards her friends and sometimes strangers as well, if you want a shoulder to cry in Miko is that person who will care for her friends. Miko tends to be very relaxed most of the time but she is never lazy and knows when to help out whenever it is needed. She is a person who is always pushing against her limits to constantly improve herself. When anything doesnt want to work out for her she just tries again but even harder than before. Background: Miko didn't have an easy life to live, most of her time was spent at home for being sick all of the sudden while she was just having a nice day of normal school. This was all because she was and is still suffering from Lower Respiratory Infections this makes her extremely vulnerable to viruses and such. After her grandpa died of illness she had a small mental breakdown. He was one of the family members to make her laugh a lot even when she was sick, it resulted in staying in the hospital for a long period of time to take care of her 24/7 till she felt somewhat better. Her life wasnt that horrible that she didn't have any fun at all there were also these moments of enjoyment. Like a simple field trip for school or a vacation to a warm land would make her feel full of excitement. The most enjoyable times where of course when her friends came to visit her at home or in the hospital, it wasn't that often but a fair amount to her. There was one thing in the world where she could just forget about it all and be someone else, in the gaming world she could breathe freely without having to worry about something making her sick and stopping her from having her fun. (give me some more time to make it better, this would have to do for now my inspiration fluids died down.) Other: Miko has just like most Pholirites bicolored eyes in the two colours blue and sea greenish, her right eye is blue and her left eye is green.
50,081	1,347	79	1,918	8,272	Raijin was happily chowing down on some fish, when he heard a loud shriek from outside. He quickly put his plate down, giving Void the chance to quickly devour his leftovers, and walked cautiously towards the cave entrance. He wasn't sure if anyone else heard it, since hs ears were more sensitive than theirs. As he walked outside, he made sure to bring his dagger out of his inventory, giving a sharp whistle as a signal for Void to follow. He leaped out dagger at the ready, expecting to see some PKer's attacking Mari, or some random girl. Instead, he saw Mari and Gray messing around with, wait a minute was that Cherry. "Hey there Cherry, long time no see. It seems you have gotten yourself into an a little bit of a pickle." He then turned to Mari, an eyebrow raised at the knife.

50,082	1,347	80	560	1,409	I'm Cherry... Cherry's voice had a slight girlish inflection, like a child everyone tried protect from the world. Cherry possessed a certain... innocence. She probably hadn't even intended to steal, Marinette lessened her grip as she considered this, the girl was trying to be safe... albeit, in a very untrained and blunt manner. She couldn't steal from the noobie, not in good conscience anyway. Okay, she definitely COULD steal in bad conscience, but a quick look told Marinette that Cherry didn't have anything that good, the only person she knew who even used guns, Hazard, didn't even use the kind the girl had. Nah, she'd let the girl go, but it was her moral responsibility as a citizen of Paradise to make sure she never tried anything this hamfisted again. A menacing whisper in her ear wouldn't be enough. Marinette searched her own mind for inspiration, who did she know that could inspire that kind of fear? Something that would be simple and easy to do, but memorable enough that the memory of this little episode would be associated with general... unpleasantness. A single name came to her mind, a character Ness was particularly spooked by when the old re-runs of Sherlock came on. Charles Augustus Magnussen It didn't take many licks to her face to inspire the fear of the Loa into Cherry, "Aaahaa w-what are you doing, s-stop it!" Oh my Gods, is she actually crying? It took all of her being not to respond with laughter, that would have been even crueler than the girl had bargained for. Grey gave away his presence with his characteristic "two clicks" and suddenly, the two engaged in friendly banter, almost as if Cherry wasn't there, the girl practically being held hostage at this point. It wasn't until Mari offered her a piece of jerky that Cherry even spoke up, over the occasional sniffle. "Can I really?" "Sure!" lightening her mood a little, that seemed to have calmed the girl down, "You ever had Paradise bear before...?" As the words left Marinette's mouth, the rustling of the grass gave way to another companion of her's, Raijin, followed by his wolf familiar Void. He had a dagger out, but his expression wasn't hostile toward the girl, Cherry, no, he seemed to recognize her, as well as showing some minor surprise. "Hey there Cherry, long time no see. It seems you have gotten yourself into an a little bit of a pickle." Huh, so they knew each other, he then turned to Marinette after directly addressing Cherry, more confused than anything, "Geez, What she try to do that you had to pull a knife on her?" Marinette let the girl free of her death grip as she answered this question, "You're little friend tried to mug me!" As the girl moved to pick up her rifle, Marinette moved to pick up her own discarded weapons, as well as the now useless cigar butt, it pays not to litter! She continued, half mocking Cherry "I wouldn't mind that so much, but she was really bad at it! I was just giving her a few pointers!" She gestured to the jerky eating cyborg in closing, "Grey can vouch for me!"

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

50,083	1,347	81	1,918	8,272	No need, I can see it now and I'm sorry I missed it. Oh, when you guys are down chowing down, head back to the Cave. Cat's icthing to level, so I figured we should get movin' soon,ya know. I'll catch ya guys on the filp side after I have a little chat with Cherry over here. Raijin turned back towards the Philorite Pilot, an uncharacteristicly stern expression on his face. "So, you tried to mug Mari, huh Lil' Firecracker. Next time you try to get the drop on someone, makes sure you play to your strengths of which close range is not. If she had been a PKer, you would 'ave just been PK'd. You should have just avoided her." He kept quiet for a little to let that sink in, before bring his fingers to his mouth with mischief on his face, and blowing out a short whistle. Cherry suddenly found herself knocked over and being licked to Death by Void. Raijin was standing right above her, a genuine smile on his face. "But I can't say I'm that upset since I got to see you again So, why don't ya come with me to the Cave so you can meet everyone else, and tell me what'cha been up since we last got together?" Raijin gave another whistle, letting Void no it was time to get off. Shetrotted over to the Cave entrance, then sat down to wait for them.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time.

She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,084	1,347	82	377	26,014	Cattypea frowned when Raijin left the cave, without much of a word as to where. Was something up? After a moment, She rose, going to the mouth of the cave, raising an eyebrow at the seen she saw. What was going o? She tried to figure out what had happened, and if it was going to get worse, but beyond the simple everything seemed fine, she had no clue what had happened. Obviously, Raifin knew the young girl, or at least the young looking girl. For all anyone knew, she could be a fifty year old man. And she thought, wasn't that just creepy? She decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she debated on going over there and dragging Void off the girl, when Rajin whistled once more. "Attacking girls Raiin? Sicking your wolf on them?" She said in a approving tone. "Honestly, you need constant watching" She lost her composure and smiled, "Obviously, you know the girl. What happened?" She asked, in a curious tone. Kalinda liked to know things. And it was no different for her in this world, as Cattypea, or in the real world. The simple fact was that she considered knowledge as a form of power. How could you do things, if you didn't understand them? And figuring out people was her greatest curiosity. Figuring out their likes, dislikes, how they thought, how they did things, what their prospects were for the future...it was like a puzzle, and she would learn each and every piece of it. Knowledge of events were just as exciting, just as thrilling to discover and take apart. You're doing it again, Kali. Thinking too much. You are probably standing there, looking like an idiot, your mouth agap. Pull yourself together but her thoughts continued to drift, and yet not one of them was about having to log out. Still, she pulled herself together. At least her mouth hadn't been open like a fish gasping for air. She looked back to Raijin, eyes darting to the girl. It didn't seem like she could have done anything wrong. She looked too...innocent. Of course, looks could be deceiving.	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i.

She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,085	1,347	83	1,867	444	Where is everyone going? We gonna level or something? asked Hazard out loud as he watched one person after another leave the cave. His curiosity ended up getting the better of him and he too got up, following behind Catt. As he followed, Void walked past him and sat at the cave entrance, so he continued onward to where the wolf came from. Eventually he came to where Marinette, Grey, Raijin, Catt, and some other girl he hadnt met before all standing together. The girl's face looked... wet for some reason, assuming she mustve been a victim of Void's tongue. "Whos the new chick?" Hazard asked, his rifle resting on his shoulder with his other hand at his hip. He tilted his head at the girl in curiosity, she didnt seem too high of a level, judging by how she looked, and she looked too innocent to be a pker. Plus Raijin seemed to know her, which put him at ease to any thought of threats.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend. I wanna be her drinking buddy once I turn 21 cattypea- Catty is a sweet girl, albeit a little quiet, But willing to learn which I can respect! Mantam- Sweet gal, a great friend and someone to talk to Hazard- Pssh, 10/10 would go gay for, Grey- My friendly rival! At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more! CherryLover- Sweet little cherry, kinda feels like a little sister in a way How long has your character been playing the game? Since release How long has this particular "character" been in the game?

50,086	1,347	84	641	893	Mantam saw people slowly starting to leave The Cave. First went Raijin, then Cat, then Hazard, and by the Mantam's interest was surely piqued. She turned to break off her conversation with Cynthia, "It looks like somethings afoot. I'm going to go investigate." Mantam said with a wink, before jumping up from the crafting table, leaving her work for another day. She found those that departed, along with Grey and Marinette, who had left earlier. They were all crowded around something, and as she approached, she found what appeared to be a girl. You can never be too sure in MMOs. The girl seemed young, and innocent, and perhaps a bit flustered by the group that was forming around her, or whatever caused them to take interest. Mantam quickly spoke up, "Who's this? A friend of ours?" She said, smiling at the girl. As Mantam scanned the girl, something clicked in her head. Goggles, gun, wrench, tacky looking military attire... she was a Pilot. Mantam quickly took control of the situation, grabbing the girls hand and gently but forcibly leading her out of the crowd. "Group conference!" Mantam declared happily, giving no one a chance for retort. She rejoined the circle, and whispered to the group, "I don't know who she is, but she looks like she's a friend of yours, Raijin, if I'm reading the situation right. I don't know if you guys have been keeping track, but the only class our group needs is a Pilot, and she's pretty clearly a pilot... we should invite her in, if she can be trusted."	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright.

Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise.

50,087	1,347	85	1,379	5,171	Miko Miko wasn't struggling anymore and just tried to co-operate with the girl to maybe get to be free once again, she could already feel the knife not being so close to her throat anymore. It felt definitely more comfortable to not have a knife holded against your throat for the whole time, while there is being played with your ear. Her face turned a bit red when she was half crying from the nasty feeling around her ear. It felt really embarrassing to be humiliated like this in front of another person and he didnt even care Miko was being threatened like that, must have been some really weird friendship between the two people she just met. The behaviour of the girl also seemed to have changed a little bit when the Cyborg joined in their little play of hostage and kidnapper. The food cheered her up a bit more but the fact that she was still held hostage at this point wasn't the greatest thing there could be. She tried to grab the jerky from the position she was in, but it was no use she could get a hold of the jerky, unless she wanted to cut herself badly onto the knife Mari was holding It's to far Miko said with quite an annoyed voice. Before she could try it again the girl asked her a simple question and a immediate reply from cherry sounded quickly afterwards No, not really. I want to try it tough. Miko tried once again to reach out for the jerky but was halfway through distracted by some rustling in the bushes near them. Even more people showed up after the Cyborg. She wasn't bothered by who it was that jumped out of the bushes. The reaction to her friend didn't sound to sure, since she had no idea on how to reply to someone so casual after not having heard from each other for the past week or so Y-yea, haven't seen you for a while. Miko felt the knife being removed from her throat when Raijin entered the conversation, her reaction to it wasn't to great but it was close to good. Miko grabbed one of the jerkys out of the bag while stumbling to run away from the girl towards Raijin. The jerky was quickly found in her mouth when she was standing behind the thug like builded Raijin. Miko noticed that her gun was still lying in front of the girl so she dashed out to grab it in only a few seconds while she got a quick glance of the snake in front of her face. After standing behind Raijin again she poked her upper body and head out a little from the right of Raijin while hearing what the girl said just now about mugging her. Miko just simply blurted out in reply I didn't! She stepped out a little more when she got angry for being blamed by the girl. The jerky in her mouth disappeared into her right hand while she sheathed the pistol away with her left hand You weren't giving me pointers. You where only harassing me and i wont forgive you about that! She was stamping with her foot onto the ground while balling up both her fist with the piece of jerky still in her right hand. Her teeth where gritting over each other to let out her anger a bit. Mari was referring to someone called Grey like the colour. must have been the robotic looking man eating the jerkys. Raijin suddenly started talking to the two other to say that they should go to the cave to help cat. Was this morse code or something since it didnt sound that normal to Miko, something about leveling a cat in a cave, well she would leave that to another time to figure out what it means. Her expression turned somewhat more questionable when she heard Raijin wanted to talk to her for some reason. She faced Raijin while she waited for the other two to leave the two of them alone for a short time. The expression on Raijins face didn't look to happy to notice she caused all this ruckus. Miko dropped her eyes a little to avoid any more eye contact, was he mad at her for doing something wrong? He began talking and after hearing only the first word he said she started blurting words out again You know I hate being called like that! After talking while making eye contact she folded her arms and looked away from him while pouting half. After hearing him out she replied again I was sure I had her! and it wasn't even my intend to hurt her since i felt curious about what she was doing. her voice slowly dropped in volume when she kept talking while it quickly became quiet between them. Miko pulled up a confused face when Raijin started blowing his fingers. Was it time for his friends to come out or something. It only took a matter of seconds before she could feeling something heavily pressed against her left side while still facing Raijin. Her face slowly turned towards the object while her weight dropped sideways to the ground Oooff a loud thud sounded when she hit the ground with the wolf on top of her. Miko could only notice that it was Void before being licked to death by the wolf that was standing onto her upper body. A loud giggle sounded from Miko when the tongue of the wolf was rapidly licking her face Stop it Void, it tickled to much Hahaha. She continued giggling and tried to cover her face with both hands till the wolf was done licking. Miko heard the talking from Raijin from before when she was being licked and gave a quick nod at him while asking Why a cave, don't you have a base or something. It will be way nicer out here if you are gonna talk with the rest of your group. Miko felt a bit startled when three new people suddenly approached Raijin with definetly their focus on herself. A girl even helped her get Void partly off of her, she gave a quick Thank you to the girl with a little bow after it. She took a closer look at the girl without getting to much attention, she had some of the aspect of an animal like the ears and the tail(s). Miko liked how she looked but didn't show much of an expression or any comments, Miko felt a little flustered when the girl said something about Raijin attacking her with his wolf but didn't pay much more attention to the conversation between them and was more focused on the two still walking this way. The boy looked like he could be a marksman, the huge sniper definitely showed of that he was indeed that class. The boy also started talking but Miko thought it fitted Raijin more to explain it to him. Her eyes wandered to the last person approaching, it was another girl where she couldn't be sure about how she would react or what class she is. Miko gave a gentle smile at the girl to hear almost the same question three times in a row, she still didn't talk much but instead looked over to Raijin again for an explanation. Out of no where her hand got grabbed by the last girl pulling her out of the group some feet away from the others, she was left standing there alone with a somewhat dumbfounded expression on her face. Was this a normal thing to happen out of nowhere? Well she surely never experienced this before, her glance didn't go away from the group talking.

Her life wasnt that horrible that she didn't have any fun at all there were also these moments of enjoyment. Like a simple field trip for school or a vacation to a warm land would make her feel full of excitement. The most enjoyable times where of course when her friends came to visit her at home or in the hospital, it wasn't that often but a fair amount to her.

50,090	1,347	88	446	7,203	Cynthia was starting to get annoyed now. She could handle Prince leaving, he always did that, and Mari was just odd sometimes, plus Grey was a bit of a loner, but ALL of them at once had left. This was supposed to be the day they all gathered and got off this rock, but instead half the group, including one of the two people they were here for, was missing. She got up and decided it was drill sergeant time. She equipped her armor and all three of her swords as she walked out of the Cave, and hadn't walked far when she found what most of the group was up to. "At attention!" She barked, imposing now in her full getup. She strode purposefully toward the group, taking in details as she went. "I want to know what in nine worlds is going on, starting with you." She pointed at the new girl suddenly. "I want your name, your level, your class, and your version of the story."	I have no clue how skills and stats work here too so if someone can give me a brief explaination on the average values a level 4 has, it'll really help! :D Live every waking moment like it is your last, for every step and mistake you make will haunt you till you pass. Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,091	1,347	89	1,918	8,272	Raijin got inbetween Cherry and the rest of the group, she see was quite nervous. "This is Cherry, a friend of mine, and you all are crowding her a bit. So if you would all ju-" Before he could finish, Drill Sgt. Cynthia came out, and she was not happy. Raijin's ears instinctively went down, his tail between his legs. A show of subordination, he was in no hurry to get her pissed at him. He didn't move from where he was though, keeping Cherry from being exposed to the full force of Cynthia's anger. And while tried his best to resist the urge, a low growl manged to sneak out, just a small one that was quickly silenced.	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,092	1,347	90	377	26,014	Cattypea saw the girls eyes on her, studying her, and gave the girl a smile. She figured the girl didn't want to make it obvious that she was taking in her appearance, but Catty was very observant. She liked watching people. At Cynthia's shout to attention, Cattypea rolled her eyes, yet nevertheless, turned her attention to Cynthia. She knew that she probably shouldn't have just gone off. But the scene had just been too interesting to ignore. She cleared her throat, mimicking Raijin's subordination, lowering her ears and tail, and keeping her eyes on the ground. it seemed the simplest way of not having her butt kicked Verbally or physically. Besides, she needed to level today, or she would continue to feel as if she was holding the group back, and she did not want that. She pursed her lips when she heard Raijin's growl, glancing over to him, seeing the protective stance he had in front of the girl, Cherry. Interesting. Did they know each other in real life? Did they have something between them? Questions she dearly wanted the answers too. She looked to Cynthia and said "Maybe just back off a bit, before Raijn loses control and bites your head off" She said in a tone that she hoped broke the tension she felt growing among the group.	Just cause I like to be thorough: 1. What would you like to be called? Caits is more then fine, since it's just a shortening of my name in real life and I like it. 2. Have an age for us? Just turned 23. Hell, where did the year go? 3. How long have you been RPing? Hm. I started between the ages of 15-16. So roughly 7, 8 years. Well. Where did that time go? 4. How many RPs are you in currently? Hum. Let's see. Five. None of which are very demanding at the moment, and I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 5. What would you say are your strengths? I'm kind and caring. I'm very adaptable, and willing to work with others. I am able to play both males and females, despite being female. I can write anywhere from one word, to 1000 in a post (although 1000 ones are rare!). 6.Weaknesses? Spelling would be my main weakness, but I do use spell check, Google and dictionaries. I get very attached to my characters, which I wouldn't consider a weakness. 7. Which do you prefer playing villain or hero? I actually enjoy playing both. I don't particularly have a preference! I find it interesting playing both. 8. If you had to use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? Loyal. 9. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Just one? Empathy. Simply because I am a Nurse. Being able to know others emotions would be extremely beneficial there. 10. Do you believe that you will be committed to this RP? Yes. It is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have been looking for something like this, and will be excited to be apart of this! Real Name: Kalinda Differ Username: cattypea Title: the Nature Queen Age: 19 Gender: Female, in game and i. Real life. Race: wild born Class: Purist Level: 4 Stat Build: STR: 2 FOC: 5 AGI: 5 Skills: Cooking Trapping Taming +Melee combat +Wilderness Movement +Survival Equipment Magical staff (weapon) Short sword (weapon) Rope Cooking pot Water skin/canteen (whatever) Equipment (body) Head hood (level three), Ear: a simple earring, Neck: Necklace of Amag, (a magical item) Chest,waist, legs: light weight leather armor, and robe offering protection Left hand:glove, purely protective Right Hand: Glove, purely protective Feet: fur skin boots, purely protective Spare weapon: dagger Personality Kalinda is a soft spoken person. She doesn't voice her opinions too much, nor does she draw attention to herself. She does have a fiery nature, but most times, she is quite, serious, watchful and caring. At times she almost seems afraid. Certainly, she tries to stay away from others, and is often seen alone. She tries not to be judgemental, not wanting to judge people based on their appearances. In the game, she is able to shine. She comes out of her shell, and is able to be who she wishes to be, instead of the shy, quite mousy girl she portrays in the real world. Background Kalinda's background is somewhat...Trauma filled. She had a stable childhood until she was four, nearly five. Then, her parents took her to see her grandparents,'and on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Her mother died instantly, her father lived for another hour, and the drunk driver died instantly as well. Kalinda, strapped in tight and secure, did not suffer badly. They were on a country road, and it was a few hours until someone else came along. Alone, scared and crying, Kalinda had bloodied her hands trying to get out the seat belt, which was badly jammed, and had yelled herself horse, for her parents, for anyone to help. She was rescued, and was soon taken in by her uncle, who her parents had chosen as her guardian, given the fact he had two children aged three and four. Despite this, she began quite, reserved, never really getting over the accident. She often has dreams about it. She developed a attachment to video games, and when Paradise came out, she asked for it. Her uncle, willing to give her it, complied. Other Since the stupid image won't appear, here's the link for her in game appearance! Whew. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I hope I did well. I can change her background ground if need be, as I realise it could be seen as...bad. She's been adapted from another character of mine. I hope all the formatting is good. I also wish I had something other then anime to work with, but...I just lost all of my real life photos.
50,093	1,347	91	446	7,203	Cynthia glared at the comment, though the expression lacked any real threat. "Cat, we were almost ready to start today's task. We were only missing one person, and now there is exactly that many people who are where they are supposed to be. If Raijin wishes to challenge me, all he has to do is speak up, but until that time I want to know why six of our group of nine people are standing around here, and I want to hear it from her because no offense Mari and Grey, I have this strange feeling it's mostly your fault." Her expression softened now that everybody was listening. "Now," She said to the new girl, smiling as if she hadn't just given her team an earful. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Real/Player Name: Rowen Hae Gen Myoun Character Name: R. Tiger Title: The Lost Age: 20 Real Gender: Male In-game Gender: Male Race: Wildborn Class: Purist LeveL: 4 Appearance. R. Tiger, Rowen's character, appears as a very-fit looking man with several feline traits. His ears are pointed and tipped with fur and two lines of thicker facial hair form stripes down his cheeks, as well as prepossessing a long bushy tail. His hair is light brown and swept back, tied in a pony tail behind and growing past his sideburns and along his jaw in front. However, unlike quite a disturbing number of wildborn players who like their appearance 'au-naturale' (see: very, very naked), for less than appropriate reasons. Rowen dresses immaculately, donning a sturdy swallow-tailed coat and canvas trousers that fit snuggly into tan hide metal boots -alongside a red, tattered scarf that hangs around his neck, waist long and flowing in the wind behind him. Though it was once a beginner's item, he has painstakingly upgraded it many times over and is now his trademark accessory. He can wear such armor that would usually be only considered by marksmen and lighter melee classes because of his higher than usual investment into STR, by Purist standards, making up for the slight lack of FOC with slightly better equipment. STR: Second Highest Stat FOC: Highest Stat AGI: Lowest Stat (I have no idea how stat distribution works here so this is a placeholder till then.) Flamebolt: One of the few possible miracles a Purist begins their journey with. This ancient incantation releases a bolt of solid fire that quickly homes in on it's target, detonating upon impact with a fair amount of force and heat. Mastering such long-lost magic is the first step to becoming a true sorcerer. Blink: Having learnt to step beyond the boundaries of space momentarily, a Purist makes use of the planet's rotation to seemingly teleport a short distance away from where they previously were. Leaving both enemies and audiences bewildered in awe. Nature's Lore (Survival): You have learnt how to identify and analyse flora and minerals found in the wilds of various planets, as well as how to prepare simple concoctions with them! Medium Armor Proficiency I (Common): You have learnt how to properly wear hide and aluminium armor, as well as conditioned yourself to move freely in them! Chest - Neck - Legs - Feet - Right Ringfinger - Weapon #1: Weapon #2: *Unmentioned slots are empty. Personality: Rowen has always been abit of an oddball, ever the epicurean, he braves new experiences with vigor and a unflinching curiousity. Though some may consider this an admirable trait, they are far and few between. Most of the time, it leaves those around him uncomfortable and sneering at him. Maybe it is because of this that he enjoys Paradise much more than real life, here he is judged less and the consequences are (were) far more lenient. He has even made some friends in the online game. His experiments have even proved useful every once in awhile. But despite his quirk, Rowen is not without common sense well ...not... totally without it, at least. Like how he clearly tells right from wrong and has a moral compass to guide him, even in a game where the lines between both are blurred. An ideal he sometimes holds above himself for what he thinks is the greater good. Background: (I'd like to keep most of this for discovery through the game so there might not be much I would post here :X, if that's okay? I'll post what his friends would generally know though.) Rowen is his english name and was raised by korean parents who left their country and traveled alot. Never staying in one place, he learnt about the world through first hand experience and never really thought of anywhere as his home. They worked for the CDC (Center for Control of Diseases) and were always in some hotspot, scarce of people. But in recent years where outbreaks have slowed, he has been able to truly be in a society and see how things go. This year he is supposed to enter a local university full-Time but has made a small group of close friends over an online game for quite awhile, he was about to tell them the news when .......something happened. Other: Rowen's dysfunctional choice of being a Wildborn, a race geared towards the physical, and yet a Purist, the most magically oriented class of Paradise, was something of a testing grounds in preparation for his second character. He certainly did not expect to have made friends halfway, or be permernantly stuck with his bad choices when Standish went all psychopathic on them.
50,094	1,347	92	1,918	8,272	Raijin cautiously moved away from Cherry, his instincts keeping him from leaving her side completely. This wasn't the first ti e his animalistic side had taken a hold of him. He didn't no why, as he didn't think Cat had the same problem, but he hsd always had to be careful in order to keep them in check, or else stuff like what just happened,well, happened. "I don't plan on challenging you Cynthia, just couldn't help myself. I tried to stop it, but I just haven't gotten the hang of it, that's all. Plus your sudden, and loud, appearance sure didn't help. I guess I just feel a little protective of the lil' firecracker here." Even though this was all said in a calm manner, Raijin was always terrified of these moments, though he tried not to worry the other's about. He was afraid of losing control of that side, or worse having it come out IRL. "And I'll vouch for her, if that means anything at the moment."	Name:Void Level:5 Beast type:Wolf Skills: +Wilderness Movement +Melee Combat Stats: Str:8 Foc:0 Agi:7 Personality: She is very sweet outside of combat, tending to play a lot and snuggle with her master's companion's. But in battle, she is a vicious fighter, going after her master's enemies with savage brilliance. She is more of a tank then her master, but still remains speedy due to the fact that she has no magic abilities and thus doesn't need to skill points placed in her Focus stat. \|☺\| Prince: "Prince is an okay guy, but he could stand to have a little motivation. And maybe be a little more energy, I swear 95% of the time he spends in this game is sleeping. Okay that is an exaggeration, it's closer to 80%." \|☺\|,possible rival, Cynthia:"She's a nice person, plus she's fun to mess with a little. And she knows how to take a joke and throw one right back. I'd say she's pretty, but this is a video game, so I don't know for sure(not that I particularly care), or even a girl(which I do care about). The trials and tribulations of meeting people over the net." \|☺\| Marinette:"She's cool, a bit to cool though. She doesn't seemed to be the kind that gets phased by much. Has interesting taste in music, that's for sure." \|☺\| cattypea:"She's an interesting one, she nice and caring, but strict. Kinda like a mom, or at least how I think a mom is. I don't have a of knowledge on the subject, only what I see on TV. She can also be very outspoken." \|☺\| Mantam:" Nice and cheery, she's the absolute last person I would expect to run into in a game like Paradise. Not an escapist bon in her body, unlike me, but I guess that what I like about her. Out of all the people here, I'd say she's the most carefree. This excludes Prince, as his level of carefree-ness is of the charts." \|☺\|Hazard: "Cocky, crack-shot, and a Razor sharp wit, what's not to like about the guy. Defintely my first choice in battle." \|♪ \|Grey:"Guy's alright, but he's rather confusing. Half the time I don't know whether he's joking or not, but maybe that's him getting into the role as a robot. I'm not completely convinced he isn't to be honest." \|☹ \| Raijin: "Raijin is who I wish I was, who I want to be. But I can never be that person. And that's why I hate him, why I hate me. Can we move on to someone else now, please?" \|♪ \| Deathedge: He's okay I guess, but he looks so mad all the time. Tend not to talk to him a lot, so I don't know that much about him." \|☺\| CherryLover: "She the prime target for my mischief. If there's one thing I love, it's messing with hot heads. She's just to easy to mess with, and her reactions are hilarious. She probably doesn't like me that much." How long has your character been playing the game? "I've been in Paradise since it's activation. It's the ultimate form of escapism, and I needed to escape. If this game hadn't came out when it did. . . well let's just say I'm glad it did and leave it at that." How long has this particular "character" been in the game? (The character your character currently plays. Character-ception.) "I have two character's, one's a purist, the other is this one. I got bored of being a purist and decided to go with Xenomaster because, hey, like animals. Thi is a class that uses them, let's play ball." How long have they been a part of the group? "I'd say around a week or two." Who invited them to the group? "Prince, dude just walked up to me one day and said, 'Hey wanna join my group?' I said yes because why the hell not, and the rest is history." Who, from the group, did they meet first? "The answer to this question is stated above, jeez you need to pay more attention."
50,095	1,347	93	1,867	444	If there ever was a time that Hazard was ever anything besides happy, it was when Cynthia went into her drill sergeant mode. The commanding tone, like she had some kind of rank to pull over him, it reminded him too much of how his parents were, and that left a bad taste in his mouth. Of course he enjoyed Cynthia, he wouldnt trade her for the world, but some things in his own personal life just couldnt be helped. Unlike the two who backed off, he stood his ground, a defiant habit that had formed from the numerous arguments he had with his parents in the past. "So sorry, drill sergeant, didnt realize we were playing a war game. I'll just head back to my post" he said, putting emphasis on the words drill sergeant, shouldering his rifle and walking past her, not acknowledging her should she call back to him. It would only take a few short minutes before he was back to his joking self, but for now he held a bit of a scowl as he went to the mouth of the cave, sitting down and leaning against the cave side. He never liked acting this way, he knew Cynthia wasnt trying to be anything over him... it was hard to explain. For the first time in his life, Hazard had gotten to do what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it... the thought of losing that... well, lets just say he didnt take kindly to the thought.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend.

50,096	1,347	94	560	1,409	She swayed with the beat... not caring if they noticed. Marinette and Anima Sola had wondered off again-- not too far from the group surrounding Cherry, a few feet, actually. Mari quite liked Cynthia going full on Sergeant Hartman mode-- but something about that always made her feel like Lieutenant Kilgore... Jesus man, those movies are like 100 years old... Still, she fell on her back on a patch of grass away from the group. She was lighting another cigar with her rather unreliable spell. Spark. Spark. Spark. The small fire between the snap of her middle finger and her thumb just wasn't enough to light the cigar it seemed, she used it another time when she heard Raijin, "--And I'll vouch for her, if that means anything at the moment." The fire took. Finally! Marinette took a few bitter puffs before yelling, "I'll vouch for her too! Anyone that bad at mugging can't be all that bad!" As she finished, she noticed Hazard walking back to the cave. Marinette considered Hazard a good friend, a sentiment Ness shared, holding out her arm to let Anima sliver up to her shoulder, she followed the gun toting Esquen back to the Cave. He leaned against it's entrance, he could see her approaching. "Hey man," She said, took another puff of the cigar before holding out to Hazard, something of a peace offering, something of a gift shared between friends, "What's up?" She didn't make an effort to hide her slightly concerned expression.

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.

50,097	1,347	95	1,867	444	Hazard noticed his Esquen comrade approach and managed a small yet dry smile. He looked at her as she held out the cigar and he took it with a nod of gratitude. "Thanks" he said before taking a few puffs from it and handing it back. He sighed and let the smoke blow out of his nostrils, a familiar stinging feeling left behind as he did so. He normally didnt smoke, but considering in game smoking wouldnt hurt him IRL, he figured it wasnt a bother. Besides, it was the respectful thing to do since it was offered by a friend. Both being Esquen, Hazard already took to being close friends with Mari, her attitude was something he liked about her, and her taste in music wasnt half bad. He sighed when she asked what was the matter and he shook his head, "It's nothing... I just hate it when Cynth gets all commando on us. We didnt go too damn far, we were just curious what was going on." he said rather bitterly, as if he were justifying to Mari why he went, though he knew she needed no justification. He shook his head again and said "Im just... not a fan of people ordering me around. Too much of that shit in real life. I come here so I dont need to deal with that, you know?But hey, im fine, Happy Hazard al over again" he said as he forced a smile, albeit a dry one at best.

50,098	1,347	96	1,379	5,171	Miko Miko folded her arms together and raised her eyes a little to see what the group was up to. It all seemed a little suspicious to be pulled away from them so they could talk in private. Maybe they where planning to pull a prank of on her? No Raijin wouldn't do that to her... well, she hoped atleast. Her eyes wandered around the group a little in boredom, why did she got to be left out, didnt they like her? Miko was pulled out of her toughts by a commanding yell from Cynthia that had just arrived at the small group of people near the cave. A sudden shiver went along her back as she turned around to look at the girl coming straight from the army to have Miko being interrogated. The girl looked pretty innocent to her, maybe someone else yelled at them. Raijin jumped in front of Miko to protect her from the girl. His back was big enough to completely make her vanish but she didnt use most part of his back, just a little to prevent the other girl from hurting Miko with her sword. Miko moved a little towards the girl while the girl started asking some things to her but Miko just wanted to be sure if she was really talking to her by pointing her index finger at herself while looking casually at the girl. When Raijin left her almost fully exposed, she turned towards him and balled her hands up to fists while she stamped onto the ground in anger I'm not a firecracker! she stood still for a few minutes looking away from Raijin with her arms folded again JeezA puff escaped her mouth as she took the bait from the girl and walked towards Cynthia while giving an glance back to Raijin and quickly said one last thing I'll be fine her pace continued towards the girl while looking at the the other three that where still standing there. One of the three tried to sneak out of it and it mostly seemed to work. Miko stopped in front of the girl, her face as serious as it could possibly be. She raised her hand at the girl expecting she would give a handshake CherryLover, level 4, class pilot. I'm here for no reason and intended to be leaving before i saw my friend here. she gestured at Raijin as her brow raised. Her arms quickly folded again when she was slightly leaning on her right foot now Why would you need to know.	Real Name: Komi Tachibana Username: CherryLover Title: Scrap Goddess Real Age: 16 In Game Age: 18 Real Gender: Female In Game Gender: Female Race: Pholirites Class: Pilot Level: 4 Stat Build: Foc 7 Agi 3 Str 2 Skills: +Magic ++Creation ++Mech ++Repair +Creation +Guns Pistols Equipment: Head: Eyewear (Goggles, lvl 2) Neck: Neckwear (Scarf, lvl 1) Chest: Light armor (Leather coat with black tank top under it, lvl 4) Right Arm: Bracelet (Silver wrist band, lvl 1) Left Arm: Bracelet (Navigator Watch, lvl 4, Keeps track of all the places the watch has been to (Citys,towns), also tells time) Left Finger: Ring (Silver, lvl 3) Waist: Belt (Cloth, lvl 4) Legs: Light armor (Floppy pants, lvl 4) Feet: Boots (Half lower leg, Leather, lvl 4) Primary Weapon: Firearm (M1911, lvl 4) Spare Weapon #1 Tool (Heavy wrench, lvl 2) Spare Weapon #2 Small Blade (Dagger, lvl 1) Personality: Miko is one of those girls who is always very friendly and caring towards others, she can be somewhat short tempered sometimes and breaks into rage mode when you even try to mess with her. However she is someone who is very trustworthy and helpful towards her friends and sometimes strangers as well, if you want a shoulder to cry in Miko is that person who will care for her friends. Miko tends to be very relaxed most of the time but she is never lazy and knows when to help out whenever it is needed. She is a person who is always pushing against her limits to constantly improve herself. When anything doesnt want to work out for her she just tries again but even harder than before. Background: Miko didn't have an easy life to live, most of her time was spent at home for being sick all of the sudden while she was just having a nice day of normal school. This was all because she was and is still suffering from Lower Respiratory Infections this makes her extremely vulnerable to viruses and such. After her grandpa died of illness she had a small mental breakdown. He was one of the family members to make her laugh a lot even when she was sick, it resulted in staying in the hospital for a long period of time to take care of her 24/7 till she felt somewhat better. Her life wasnt that horrible that she didn't have any fun at all there were also these moments of enjoyment. Like a simple field trip for school or a vacation to a warm land would make her feel full of excitement. The most enjoyable times where of course when her friends came to visit her at home or in the hospital, it wasn't that often but a fair amount to her. There was one thing in the world where she could just forget about it all and be someone else, in the gaming world she could breathe freely without having to worry about something making her sick and stopping her from having her fun. (give me some more time to make it better, this would have to do for now my inspiration fluids died down.) Other: Miko has just like most Pholirites bicolored eyes in the two colours blue and sea greenish, her right eye is blue and her left eye is green.
50,099	1,347	97	641	893	Mantam sighed as Cynthia appeared in full regalia. She played the part of the drill sergeant perfectly. She gave a sympathetic look to the girl, who she now knew as 'Cherry'. She strode over to the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. Mantam smiled at the girl and whispered to her, "Don't worry, we're not as crazy as we seem. Cynthia comes on a little strong, but she means well." Mantam disengaged from her and next walked to Cynthia. She leaned into her, putting her mouth to her ear, whispering to her next, "Cynth, girl, you know I love you, but please tone it down next time. Remember, this girl's a Pilot, and you know we still need a Pilot." Mantam smiled at her, and moved on, next heading back towards the mouth of The Cave, towards Marinette and Hazard. Mantam let out an audible sigh as she reached them. "Another happy day at The Cave. We finally find a Pilot, and Cynthia has to do this." Mantam smiled at Hazard, and placed a hand on his shoulder, "You know Cynthia means well, right? I'm sure the ways she sees it we need someone to crack the whip, Prince being lazy as he is. If it weren't for her, we probably wouldn't get anything done." Mantam said with a small giggle at the end. "Come get me when we get moving, alright? I've hand enough of whatever's going on out here." Mantam advanced into The Cave, waving back at the pair before leaving their sight. She saw Prince, napping as usual. She sighed. How typical. Mantam hit him lightly on the chest, "You better wake up or Cynthia may have a few choice words for you. Or you can nap, up to you." She thought for a moment and added hastily, "She's in drill sergeant mode, so you should be careful."	It was surprisingly hard to write a CS for a character that's just a normal person. Hope it looks alright. Real Name Hazel Hosner Username Mantam Title The Red Wolf Age 19 Gender Female, both in game and in real life. Race Human Class Mirage Shifter Level 5 Stat Build 10 FOC 5 AGI 0 Strength Skills Magic, including but not limited to shape-shifting Forms: Hazel's preferred form is her titular Red Wolf. She is also able to take the form of a Wasnork, Floatezal, and a Paquee. Artificer, able to create weapons that magic can be channeled through Hazel has invested a surprising amount of time into in-game cooking, and is very proficient at it Equipment Ear- Enchanted Ear Rings (Small FOC increase) Neck- Golden Necklace (Small Magic Resist) Chest- Magician's Shirt (Increase to Mana Pool) Right Hand- Wand Left Hand- Magic Foci Waist- Magician's Sash (Small boost to Physical resistance, increase to Mana Pool) Legs- Drab Pants Feet- Fancy Shoes Personality Hazel is a young and cheerful girl. She is outgoing, and goes out of her way to make her more reserved friends feel comfortable. Unlike many 'MMO Addicts' she has no wish to escape the real world, and has no wish to stay trapped in Paradise. In conversation Hazel is a nice, polite, and fun person. Hazel is innocent, and often willing to help others to a fault. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible. Above all, Hazel is a loyal friend, and is unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise. Background Hazel is an altogether normal post high school girl. She comes from a rich family, and grew up without want. Despite this, she luckily managed to not become a spoiled brat. She was always the 'popular' girl at school, but was smart enough to keep her head out of trouble that her friends got into. After she passed high school, she put off college, much to the dismay of her parents, in favor of spending a year relaxing. However she quickly found that with most of her friends leaving for college life was boring. Then Paradise came out. Hazel was, surprisingly to most, an avid MMO player. Although most hardcore players would consider her a 'casual', she enjoys playing them greatly, and has made a small group of friends playing MMOs. Intrigued by Paradise's revolutionary gameplay, she convinced her parents to buy the game for her, despite the fact that they frowned upon her gaming 'addiction'. When Miles Standish announced to her and her friends that they were trapped in the game, she made the decision to become a 'hardcore' MMO player so her and her friends can escape Paradise. Characters: ☺ Prince- "Prince is a nice guy, and he has an odd tendency to bring people together.

Besides that, nice person, good friend." ☺ cattypea- "I like Catty. Catty is one of my friends." ♡ Mantam- "Me.

Truly one of my main girls." How long has your character been playing the game? Mantam got the game on release How long has this particular "character" been in the game? Mantam only recently made this character, choosing to adopt it when the rest of her friends began playing. How long have they been a part of the group? Mantam has been with the group since almost the start. Who invited them to the group? Prince Who, from the group, did they meet first? Mantam happened to stumble upon the Cave post-occupation by Prince and Cynthia, and somehow managed to find herself with a new group of friends.
50,100	1,347	98	1,867	444	Hazard looked up at Mantam as she tried to cheer him up, knowing her intentions were good but it made him uncomfortable. He never was a fan of being cared for like this, as he never wanted to be seen as Kyron the kid who needs cheering up. He was supposed to be the wise cracking happy one in the group according to him. When she let go of his shoulder and walked into the cave, he wiggled and somersaulted across the grass saying "Ehhhh... stop being caring it makes me feel all weird!". This of course was his way of showing he had gotten over Cynthia's drill sergeant mode and was ready to be back to his carefree self, not needing people to be concerned. He rolled around a little longer before stopping, his head laying next to Mari's leg as he looked up at her. "Mari, play some music!" he said as he stretched out his arms and tried to reach for her cigar playfully.

He is kind and uplifting, and tries his best to cheer up his friends. In game, he tends to act cocky in a battle, and is usually the one to crack jokes to lighten the mood. He will fight to the best of his ability when it comes to providing covering fire to protect his teammates, and never gives up even after the last bullet leaves the chamber. He is generous with the items he finds, and always volunteers to help find whatever may be needed for a suffering teammate. Background: Jeff grew up in a very restrictive environment. His parents had a large list of rules to put on him which gave him a lot of stress since he couldnt go out with his friends often or even as long as he would like. It would seem that every time he found something fun to do that allowed human interaction, his parents would take it away from him. When he came across Paradise, he thought it was amazing, but after a harsh and loud conflict in which his mother forced him out of a game session, Jeff decided he would move out. He got himself a job and rented a low income apartment in the next town, and even though his money is tight for the current time in his life, he couldnt be happier to play online with his friends whenever he pleased. Other: Whenever Jeff makes a headshot, he always says "Boom, headshot" due to it being one of his favorite quotes. His number one favorite quote is: "Do not call me a coward in battle, I like to kill my enemies while looking them in the eyes through a high powered rifle scope at four miles away." In game: Prince- Great guy and a better friend. He brought me into this group and Im thankful for it. A great friend. Cynthia- She is pretty damn cool, bit of a badass which I like, its weird though, I always get the weirdest feeling of deja vu around her... Marinette- Good ol Mari!! definite best friend.

At the end of the day we always see who got the most hits... its me Raijin- Raijin Caijin! Sometimes I think he is more animal than human, but he is a cool dude, with a badass wolf Deathedge- Mysterious, but i know he means well. Needs to open up more!

50,101	1,347	99	560	1,409	Mari, play some music! Marinette watched with a smug amusement as Hazard returned to his old self, rolling in the grass, almost as if to shake off the affections she and Mantam had showered him with. He was someone who could be serious when he needed to, but obviously preferred to keep things light and carefree, it was something she admired in him. In Ness' experience, it was those types of people that always made for the most chill bros. She took another puff and exhaled, "Oh, I got the perfect one!" She changed the function of her... weird... rose-thing... from headphone to speaker and leaned against the cave wall in a way that found her slowly sliding down, until she sat in the grass. She toyed with the cigar, keeping it just out of his reach, before tossing it into the air, game logic dictated he'd probably catch it perfectly in his mouth. "Y'know what I wanna do?" She leaned against the wall, just barely hearing Mantam address Prince inside the Cave, "Go out and fuck some shit up-- like really--- I like the social aspect of this game, but a lot of the time, I wanna go do something crazy, like... team fight a lvl. 20 orc or something.

Real Name: Ernest 'Ness' Lackyn Age: 21 Gender: Biological:Assumed Male (Gender fluid) Personality: Ernesto is a secretive and quiet individual, preferring to talk about non-sense or others than of his own self, you would never know if he was doing poorly on a given day. A symptom of this is a tendency to lie to avoid the possibility of others feeling concern for him. His entire life Ness walked on eggshells, this gives the impression that he isn't particularly comfortable in his own skin, just being who he is. In Paradise, however, Ness, as Marinette is a much more open individual, while still prone to secrets and obfuscating the truth to avoid conflict, he finds sharing his own opinions and interests much more possible. As the avatar Ness has an easier way with people, and even develops something of a snarky sense of humor. Marinette acts more confident than Ness, and gives the impression of confidence and even cockiness. Ness' appreciation of mythology and vodou is much more pronounced when acting as Marinette, often using the Loa as descriptors for certain situations, items or enemies-- even going so far as to pray to them. Background: An Afro-Mexican child born out of wedlock, Ernest was raised in southern California by a single mother and, surrounded by poverty and crime, Ness found himself very easily immersed in the culture and comfort of video games and false reality. School for Ness was less 'do your best' and more 'get by with whatever works so you can go home and play more video games.' While never being particularly isolationist or avoidant, his personality appeared on the surface to be standoffish and even arrogant, earning contempt from his peers that he perceived as no fault of his own. Ness didn't make any make any real friends until high school, when he was exposed to the anime and video game clubs of SoCal, through them he was able to vastly expand his tastes and options of games he could play. He would also go on to form the first long lasting non-familial relationships in his life. Finding pleasure in gaming and the companionship he found through gaming, Ness became inspired to begin animating through high school and eventually found himself going to art school through a scholarship, something his mother of little means never thought was possible. Now an intern at a small San Francisco game developing company, he has begun to work freelance in television and internet animation-- despite it all though, through working through the isolation of his youth and growth thanks to exposure to like minds, two things have remained consistent about him; his love of his Mother and all the things she taught him about Vodou and syncretic religions, and his childlike enjoyment of video games, especially mmorpgs. Paradise, then, soon became his new addiction after it's release. He was one of the first in line on launch and has practically based his life around having enough free time to play the game. Initially he started playing mostly solo or with his friends in real life, eventually however, he developed bonds with other players in the game, finding it easier to 'be open' with them.
