Gameplay
What Remains of Paradise is a campaign inspired by The Paradise Trails and Paradise Rising. We have a set end, but two possible set endings depending on the choices our players choose throughout the campaign. We will be using a mixture of dice rolls, puzzles, riddles, and other such methods throughout the chapters leaving clues for our players to aid them in their journey to unlock their soul class, shade, and partners. Below is more information on our gameplay.

Chapters and Points
What Remains of Paradise is a campaign consisting of one prologue, six chapters, and one epilogue. There are Two possible set endings for each chapter and the campaign over all, each having their own risks and rewards. Which ending you get each chapter is determined by your choices, as you will be faced with warnings when your actions may influence the storyline.
When you've reached a point within the chapter that your actions may effect the ending of the story you will be notified by a message, and once your choice is made the points per each team will be tallied up and the ending will be determined by which choice has the most points.
Activity within each chapter is mandatory and there will be a set post limit to reach each chapter to maintain your active status. Every player will have one free chapter of their choice that they do not have to reach the appointed post limit, but once that freebie is used you will no longer have it.
Each chapter both the players and the characters will be faced with puzzles, riddles, and more that will gain you information and items that will aid you in your journey.
Interims
Between each chapter will be an interim period of free roleplay and rest. Within this time no roleplays will be mandatory and the players have free reign to interact with one another or the npcs within their party. Interim periods will vary in length depending on how long the process of setting up the next chapter may take.
Character Death
Character death is a very real possibility in this world. You will be warned should your actions be leading you down the path of a character death, but should you not heed the warnings your character may not be resurrected. Your character may also be killed should the player not reach the appointed post limit during a chapter, or if there are OOC complications that require your removal from the game.
