Paradisa



The Game Paradisa is commonly referred to as a jamjar panfandom with an overarching world plot thrown in now and again. It tells the day-to-day story of people stuck in a sentient castle that is feeding on their souls and sometimes makes residents 'lose' things. Sometimes these losses aren't really 'losses' at all, unless you count the loss of sanity...

This article is always under construction as players/characters come and go. Feel free to add any trope if you're a member of the community, but please don't change the layout coding I've set up. If you don't know what you're doing, just ask!

 * Angel
 * Faith Lehane
 * Rory Williams
 * Xena
 * Bland-Name Product: Done to any media that could be app-able, and some that really aren't, just for Rule of Funny.

The World

 * Big Brother Is Watching: The Castle, maybe? Also happens with anything unfiltered in journals.
 * Bigger on the Inside: The castle.
 * City of Weirdos
 * Global Currency Exception: There's not even an exchange rate for the caiso.
 * God Mode. THE CASTLE.
 * Made of Explodium: The microwave.
 * Non-Player Character
 * Nightmare Fuel
 * SPIDERS.
 * And of course the WTF-alos.
 * The Dead Space plot.
 * One-Hour Work Week: Rather self-explanatory.
 * Uncanny Valley: Pretty much anything Paradisa tries to create suffers from this if you look at it closely.
 * There are pipes and wires in the castle walls, but if you trace where they go...the connections are completely random. Despite this, everything works exactly like you would expect it to...
 * The wtfalo, which have no eyes. Oh, and their skin appears to be reversible, sort of - the other side of it looks human.
 * There are also eight-legged sheep out in the Dead Zone.
 * All the NPCs introduced in the Spider Plot.
 * The weather (now that it exists) seem to attempt to be Earth-typical for the season, but only in broad terms, which results in things like massive fields of flowers springing up overnight, or all the leaves falling off all the trees in the forest in the same instant.

The Plots

 * Musical Episode. April Fools has become this over the years.
 * Babies Make Everything Better. The Baby Plot each May.
 * Big Applesauce. Fall of 2008 had a New York City plot based on The Day After Tomorrow. There was a tidal wave that hit New York.
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs. What? It's true!
 * Everything's Deader with Zombies. One thing is for certain: Paradisa loves it's zombies.

 * Lumpy space if you count Lumpies as zombies.

 * In his stay at Paradisa he had been bitten by a vampire, shot, attacked by zombie dogs, fell off a cliff (twice!), smashed by the ninetails of Naruto, beaten up numerous times, sliced in the spine, killed by heartless only to come back a couple hours later at the plot's end (fastest Para turn around time for a character without regeneration powers), thrown off a fourth floor balcony, knocked out by a basseball, attacked by a pikachu....and there is more. This may all sound ridiculous, but his canon is much worse. Many characters at points would ask him how he survived all the things...a definite answer was never given. He just got better.
