Sad Shroom
The University of Cambridge: one of the world's most esteemed universities, and one of the greatest hubs of fantastic young minds. Bright youngsters from all over the world apply for its elusive places, but only the smartest, the hardest-working are accepted into its educational elite.
Amongst all of the ambition, intrigue, and posh snobs drinking themselves silly, one man has set his sights on achieving the impossible: Time Travel.
On his own, it seems his efforts are folly. Yet, aided by fellow freshman and perhaps even fate itself, one of the world's most ambitious projects is propelled into fruition as on the first day of term, a mysterious meteor falls from the skies, a meteor that could contain the final key to cracking the conundrum.
Alongside making headway into their experimentations, the group must also maintain their standard university lives as they explore their first taste of true adult independance, juggling relationships and friendships alongside their impossible task.
All the while, they edge closer and closer to uncovering science's deepest secrets. But is all really as it seems? Is Time Travel really the scientific blank-zone that one would be lead to believe? Are they really the only ones out there with such a lofty goal?
Most of all, do they really comprehend the magnitude of their discoveries?

~PARADOXICA~

Greetings, prospective RPer!
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for checking out this interest check. As you'll hopefully have gathered, Paradoxica is a Time-Travel-based RP that is an unnusual mix of sci-fi and slice-of-life - hence the 'Realistic' branding. Especially in the early stages, things will be very much focussed on university life alongside our characters' exploration into Time Travel; thus I'd suggest you go into things with a slice-of-life style RPing attitude, expecting to start by playing out ordinary university-life friendships and reactions and such. However, it won't be long before action starts to kick in, and we are introduced to more adventure/exploration/sci-fi/fantasy based elements. I hope I've piqued your fancy, and I hope you're up for the ride!
A couple of questions and answers for you:
Question: What detail level do you expect?
Answer: I'm aiming for something between Casual and Detailed; detail where neccessary, and writing ability without frequent dodgy grammar, along with an overall creativity and willingness to write, really. In terms of post frequency, I'm hoping things will start pretty active, but ideally I'd want things to die down to a pace where I'm expecting about two posts a week. As long as you're interested and dedicated, however, I'm willing to take you on.
Question: You mention in the plug about 'one man has set his sights on achieving the impossible'.
Answer: Firstly, bad question asker: that's not even a question! Secondly, yup, I do indeed mention that. This is because my character will be a budding scientist who comes up with the initial idea of Time Travel. However, there is no need to be concerned; this will not be an RP where the GM (in this case, me, hello!) has 'the protagonist' and expects everybody else to just tag along for the ride. Though my character will be the instigator of this, when the characters are interlinked and get involved with each other, the plot will give no preference to my character. My character might be what spurs this on, but he's certainly not going to be the one making every single discovery single-handedly, ect, ect; don't worry, I hate that kind of RP as much as you do! Each and every RPer will also be given the chance to impliment their own sub-plots and, especially with the slice-of-life based stuff, there will be a lot of chance for independant RPer creativity.
Question: What kinds of characters will you want?
Answer: All characters (barring NPC's and Neutral Character) will be Cambridge freshmen, so they will all be around 18, depending on whether they go to uni directly after leaving school. They won't neccessarily have to be physics students either; as long as they get involved with my character and the general time travel stuff, things'll be fine.
I think that should just about cover the basics. Obviously, this is an interest check, so please, comment down below if you're interested; I want to know how much interest I'm expecting before I go ahead and work on the RP thread itself. Also feel free to ask any questions down below and I'll be sure to answer them.
Cheers, and thanks for noticing this/me/senpai once more!
