Description:

Jason Knight's father decided he needed something to do. The studio
executive decided to give him a present for his 24th birthday...a South
Pacific resort. What William Knight II didn't know was that Jason would
turn Paradise into the Pacific's premier gay resort. Two weeks after his
decision, William Knight's confidence in his son was not as sure as he
would have liked so he sent Jason's twin brother, Jake to co-run the
resort as Director of Operations.

Paradise is an exclusive resort for gay men and admirers located on the
remote island of Nukualofa in the Republic of the Tonga in the South
Pacific. Owned and operated by Jake Knight, the resort offers a wide array
of amenities including:

Deluxe accommodations in a hotel and private bungalows
3,000 square foot Vegas-style casino
Private yacht the Angel and a fleet of sail boats, the Seraphim
Gourmet restaurant The Royale
Night club and bar Cocoa Nuts
Premier spa, Eden

Joining Paradise is easy. Find a character you are interested in playing
as and email the GM at alxnjsh zat yahoo.com. You can even create a basic
character by using any of the staff as a template. The following fields
are required:

Character Name: To prevent confusion, we ask that you not submit the same
name of one already being used in the game. Please don't use various forms
of a name either (e.g., we won't accept a Mike if we have a Michael).

Character Age: All characters should be over the age of 18. If you are
interested in a character younger than this, contact the GM.

Birthplace: Include where your character was born as well as where he or
she grew up.

Position: Positions may either be selected from the staff roster or an
original creation. There cannot be multiple Directors of various
divisions, however assistant directors are acceptable. Characters not
listed are more than welcome, but they must be a logical fit with a
resort.

Supervisor (will be assigned)

Resides: All staff receive room and board with their tenure. Managers
receive a two bedroom suite. Other staff receive single bedroom apartments
or may choose to live with a roommate in a larger manager-style
accommodations. There are shared kitchens and bathroom facilities. All
rooms have a sink and ample closet space with a bed and a desk. A few
employees have special living spaces including the Captain of the Yacht
who has a private suite on the ship as well as a private bungalow; the CEO
and Director of Operations who as brothers share an ante-bellum style
mansion; the personal assistants to the CEO and Director of Operations
have private one bedroom accommodations within the staff quarters, but
also have small private suites in the mansion; the hotel manager has a
private one room suite in the hotel that can also be used for back up in
the event of over bookings.

Orientation: Please specify if your character is gay, straight, bisexual,
curious...however you want to explain it. You may also include notes like
"versatile" or "only safe sex."

Personality: Explain in a couple of paragraphs what your character is like
as a person. You don't have to go into extreme detail, we should be
learning about your character through interactions not by reading a crib
sheet.

Biography: Similar to the personality, be brief.

Played by: Submit your name and your email with your application.

At this time the game is only open to players over the age of 18.
Individuals may play no more than 3 characters and posting is required at
a minimum to be once a week. This is not strictly enforced until people
start wondering if your character has died. The game will only work if we
all contribute.

Once approved you will hear from the GM, be subscribed to the list and you
may begin playing!
