Iriquis (Level 15) - This planet is almost completely composed of a crystal like substance. It is a main attraction for some of the less serious players but it is also very dangerous.

There is a legend that says certain creatures live out in this possible area and if found, are very rare and valuable.

Paradise is a game developed by Miles Standish that came out in the year 2045, which is coincidental in that this was the 10 year anniversary of Miles' sister, Lisa Standish's, death. The console itself is a fully integrated body suit that plugs into the machine Standish, creatively, named the Globe. It is a circular frame in which the player sits in and straps themself into. When they say, "On" the system boots up as prompts them with questions. The system, much like Apple's Siri, is a programmable interface that speaks with the player through their life while not in the game and gives them information about what is currently happening in game. When they log into the world, their suit plugs into the interface and they go into a 'dream-like' state. The circular design of the console, allows the player to move as their character would building up muscle and even giving them the nutrition they gain in game. The system keeps them alive, giving them everything they wold need to be a healthy individual.

Skills, Abilities, Stats and Techniques: Know the Difference

Skills: A skill is a passive bonus certain characters get to actions they preform. They can be trained either by taking certain classes at the academy, using them often, or the use of certain items and equipment.

Abilities: Abilities are active powers your characters gain, and are decided by the game. Abilities cannot be altered, and are learned by taking certain classes at the academy, leveling up, advancing certain skills or equipping rare armor and weapons.

Stats: Stats are your character's base ability. They are separated into several types, and can be improved by leveling up, using certain items or equipment, or taking the "Practical" classes at the academy. Stats are as follows:
STR: Strength. Determines how physically strong your character is. STR is used in Melee combat, interacting with certain environment items, and using certain equipment.
FOC: Focus. Used in casting spells and building items. A certain amount of FOC is required to use higher level firearms, and the FOC skill effects how accurate your shots are.
AGI: Agility. Determines how fast and agile your character is. Used for moving around the environment and in using certain items and equipment.

Techniques: Techniques are combinations of Abilities and moves the player uses, and are not determined by the System. By using complimentary abilities together, a player can turn seemingly weak powers into a strategic advantage.

Chapter Two: Magic and You

Magic in Paradise can be used two ways. You can either cast spells using the Base System or the Interpretation System.

Base System: The Base System uses the game's pre-programed spells. Once you have learned a spell, all you have to do is think the name of the spell three times in your head to activate it.

Interpretation System: The Interpretation System is more complicated. Once you have a magic skill, you can activate the system by thinking Interprate three times, as if you were casting a spell. After that, whatever you imagine for the next five seconds will be translated into a spell. This system uses far more mana than the Base System, and can be difficult to control, but isn't bound by the limitations of the Premade spells. Once you achieve a similar effect five times with this system, you have the option of recording it as a personal spell, and it will then have an appropriate Mana value applied and can be named.

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.

Other:Marinette is almost always listening to music.

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 - [Level 4, Highlander's Coat, a coat rewarded for completing the quest 'Ending Immortality'. Nano-tubules filled with an anesthetic gel are woven into it's fabric, relieving pain immediately if the wearer is ever wounded. Increases endurance. Raises STR by 1.]
Neck - [Level 1, Worn Scarf +7. Beginner's item. One empty slot. Raises resistance against elements adds armor. Can be upgraded further.]
Legs - [Level 3, Leather Leg Guards. Zorns make lousy pets but good trousers!]
Feet - [Level 3, Iron Boots. Boots tipped with iron for better protection.]
Right Ringfinger - [Level 4, Caduceus Stone, crystalline naturally occurring stone that is popular amongst scholars. Said to clear the mind and allow better focus on the task at hand. Slightly raises FOC by 2.]

Weapon #1: [Level 4, MG-201 (Catalyst). A mechanism that looks like a small levitating brass gyroscope, used by magicians to locate and harness ley energies from the planet to empower themselves. Improves casting speed and reduces focus drain when in use. Requires two hands to use.]
Weapon #2: [Level 4, Shortsword. Steel weapon used since man learned to forge the metal. It's design and makeup has changed over milleniums for the better but it's purpose remains the same throughout time.]

*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.
