Paradise Lost

Areas of Importance

Communion-A private tavern set up in the base of the South Tower strictly for the fighters to relax, carouse, build relationships, and find potential opponents. The bar itself is mahogany with brass accents, and a number of booths and high top tables surround the area it occupies. A large closed circuit tv on the far wall replays past fights and sprinkles in Confession segments between them. Communion is also the name for the main Fed chat. Members should feel free to interact in character or discuss fed matters OOC, though violence is frowned upon outside of arranged fights.

Confession-A traditional Catholic confessional booth repurposed for a different purpose. Inside, fighters record messages for the other fed members. If you are familiar with pro wrestling, think of these as vignette segments where characters tell others about their character and their goals, recount their thoughts on an important victory or a defeat that's set them back, or issue a call out(please make sure the person you are calling out is ok with this ahead of time), or respond to challenges. It's a good way to build interest in your character when done well. Simply write up a Confession segment as a new story and send it to an Admin and it will be added to the Confessions section in the fed stories. These should be relatively short and only take 2-5 minutes to read, but don't fret. You can keep doing more as appropriate.

Elysium-Elysium resides in a giant balcony ringing the rafters of the main hall. When fights take place, a traditional ring with white ropes is set up in the northern corner and an elevated stage with a large video board erected as a backdrop to the stage. Fighters have locker rooms set up in the base of the North Tower and ascend the tower and exit through the curtain onto the stage. Elysium fighters are humans with no supernatural abilities. Fights end by Knockout(one or both fighters cannot answer a 10 count), Submission (Either tap out or verbal submission), or referee stoppage. Examples of characters that would reasonably fight in Elysium would be Mike Tyson, John Cena, Bruce Lee, Ronda Rousey, Rhea Ripley, Chuck Norris, Cynthia Rothrock, Batman, The Punisher, and Jet Li.

Purgatory-Purgatory resides in the main hall of the cathedral. Fights are held on what is normally the main dance floor, which previously held the pughs for the congregation. The main stage for when the club books musical acts is permanently set up where the pulpit would be, and has video boards set up for the fighter entrances. The changing rooms for purgatory are set up in the base of the Western Tower and fighters exit through there into the backstage area. Purgatory fighters are superhuman/supernatural) in some way, but their power level is less than that displayed by fighters who ply their trade in The Pit. The types of characters that fit into Purgatory is vast. Fantasy races(Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Fae etc.), most supernatural creatures(werewolves, vampires, golems, etc.), androids, cyborgs(including cybernetically enhanced "Cyberpunk" characters, hybrids, Anthros who draw beyond human abilities from their animal sides, Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat characters(Scorpion, Ryu, Chun-Li, Mileena, etc.), and the bulk of the standard power level super heroes(Captain America, Spider-Man, Storm, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Starfire, etc.) fall into Purgatory.

The Pit-A sizable arena deep beneath Paradise Lost, ringed with stone pillars with powerful glyphs that contain the immense energies conjured forth within it's boundaries, The Pit is where beings of immense power do battle. A stone entrance way is carved into the rock on either end of the arena, with the fighters entering opposite one another. The Pit is for those with incredible amounts of power at their disposal, and often a large array of abilities. Cosmic level superheroes (Superman, Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer, Magneto, etc.), archmages (Gandalf, Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, Agatha Harkness, Voldemort, Zatanna Zaranna, etc.), Angels, Demons, gods/demigods(Thor, Wonder Woman, Hercules, Hela, etc.), shonen anime protagonists(Goku, Naruto, Meliodas, etc.) all fit in here.
