    Name: Yuri Kilesso

    Age: 29

    Sex: Male

    Reason for applying: To find out what it means to live a normal life

    Strengths: Decisive; honest; loyal; intelligent; strategic thinker; focused; cool under pressure; extensive combat experience

    Desires & Goals: Make friends; hold a normal conversation; become part of a community; live a peaceful life

    Fears: Isolation; repeating past experiences; inability to live peacefully

    Weaknesses: Lack of social skills; inexperience at normal daily tasks; lack of constraint; emotional insecurity; occasional lapses into alcohol abuse


    When you’re used to waking up to the sound of grenades and mortars, an alarm clock doesn’t seem so bad. Hailing from a small, unknown country buried deep in eastern Europe, Yuri’s home and too many of his waking moments have been embroiled in warfare for as long as he can remember. Civil wars, foreign powers and the rise and fall of tyrannical regimes fed the chaos that haunts him to this day. Even as a child, he was made to use a rifle ever since he was strong enough to hold one. As a result, he has become one of the deadliest people on the planet with years of training, experience, and fatalities to his name.

    But the skills he learned on the battlefield hardly have a place in everyday life, and the price he paid for becoming a killing machine was much too high. Burdened with deep scars both physical and mental, Yuri finally left his war-torn home only to find that he was woefully unequipped for a civilized world without unending war. Unfamiliar with even the most rudimentary elements of a peaceful daily life, he signed up for Project Paradise out of desperation, hoping beyond hope that he might finally learn how to function in a peaceful society. Beyond that, he hoped that he might even be able to form the most basic human connections, which he was all but denied until now.

    Despite his worries about the future, Yuri felt a vague sense of growing optimism as he signed the final form of his application to Project Paradise.

    Name: Mia
    Age: 23
    Sex: female
    Reason for applying: hoping this is a place I can fit in and live a life without conflict, abuse and fighting
    Strengths: knows how to adjust when things go south, knowledge in survival, can hide very well when needed, knows how to care for herself and others, is a very quiet person, an avid reader, loves to cook.
    Desires & Goals: hopes to live a life without conflict, have peace, and live a normal life for a change
    Fears: being abused, slight fear of men, violence, fighting
    Weaknesses: shy, has a slight fear of men due to past abuse of step parent, doesn’t like being yelled at, timid, can be cowardly in certain situations.


    Backstory: At the age of 5 Mia’s parents separated which started a rather long and painful custody battle between the two. Mia wanted to live with her father as she was far more closer to him, but her mother wanted money and saw her daughter as a paycheck for child support. In the end the judge granted her mother full custody and only bi weekly visits with her father. But due to her fathers work schedule, because he has to pay of his debt towards the custody battle, it was hard for him to have the time off during his weekends, so Mia would go almost an entire month before seeing her father.
    When Mia was around 6 her mother decided to marry another man, the man she left Mia’s father for. Mia had a bad feeling about the guy, and didn’t like how the man changed her mother. Her mom began partying, and was drinking a lot to the point of almost always being passed out. He had convinced her mom and him to get married and said it would be best for their family. Mia didn’t like the man to begin with, he seemed off. Mia’s instinct would soon be proven to be correct. As soon as her mom and the man got married, he suddenly changed and was no longer nice to Mia. Instead when Mia’s mom was passed out drunk, he would force Mia to clean up the house, treated her like a slave and would often beat on her if she didn’t do things correctly the first time. A few times Mia had been locked in a closet for several days, as punishment with no food. When Mia tried to tell her mother about it, her mother called her selfish and she old Mia that she didn’t want her mom to be happy. This went on for many years. Mia’s father would do all he could to get Mia out of that household, but her mother had connections with the DA so anytime her father would try to go to court, the judge always ruled in her moms favor.
    When Mia turned 18, she was excited to move out of the house. However her mother fell very I’ll, and Mia was forced to stay and help her mother all while further dealing with the abuse.
    Then one day she got a notice in the mail about project paradise. She hid the notice from her mother and step father, and when she had a moment where her mother was asleep and her step father was gone filled out the application she hid the papers over night and the next morning when her mom and step dad was asleep, she snuck out of the house and headed to the address listed on the application form

    Jonathan waited at the lobby entrance in the capitol of Project Paradise though it is entirely inside a collective mind, it is quite robust, filled with everyday activities, stores, and social events.

    He waited for the new arrivals, Yuri and Mia; he already had their profiles as his boss already uploaded the info to him. Holding a sign up in big letters their names were written.

    Upon arriving at the address, Mia entered the building. Upon entering, she slowly glanced around. Taking a moment to soak in the atmosphere. She then noticed the man standing at the entrance, holding a sign up with her name on it. Mia slowly approached the man and spoke in a hushed tone, clutching the papers against her chest.
    “Hello… I…I am Mia”

    As Yuri made his way into the lobby, he was momentarily overwhelmed at the scene before him. There were so many people gathered in the same place, talking, working, laughing, playing, carrying on with their lives without a care in the world. It was a sight unfamiliar to him, to see so many people in the same place in the complete absence of conflict and strife. The cacophonous sound of their casual chatter was almost disorienting to him, and their complete lack of worry or fear was disconcerting to a man like Yuri who lived his life looking over his shoulder. It all felt so surreal to him, but he knew that this is what "normal" looks like for all of the people around him. He had never felt so out of place. But perhaps one day, he could smile and laugh as easily as they did.

    Following the instructions he was given, he arrived at the location where he was told the representative would be and he was there exactly ten minutes early, just as he'd planned. Sure enough, he saw a sign with his name on it and walked over to greet the man holding it. Standing perfectly still, feet together, hands behind his back, he spoke formally to the representative.
    "Yuri Kilesso. I would like to extend my gratitude for this opportunity."
    He looked over to the woman standing next to him, hesitating for a moment to find a conversation opener.
    "Ah...you must be here for Project Paradise as well, yes? Mm. A pleasure to meet you."
    He extended his hand for a handshake.

    Jonathan, looked Yuri and Mia up and down just for a moment. He concluded it was them however he expected something a bit different from both of them. None the less he had a job to do. Reaching outward he gave Yuri the handshake he was waiting for. Quickly he acknowledged Mia.

    "Mia, Yuri. It is a pleasure to meet you. And congratulations on getting selected for your own personal paradise!" Jonathan hated the corporate Jargon but he always made everything believable. "Right now we are in the heart of the city. Everyone has their own name for it, but officially we named this place Homestead. It is welcoming and homely so you feel safe and secure."

    Putting away the sign he reached into his pockets, it was 2 separate Pocket PC's with very personal itineraries for each of them. reaching his hands out, he let them grab their schedules.

    "Now, Before you start on the schedules the first of the itinerary is going to be a psychological evaluation to make sure that you've made it here safe and are still suitable for project paradise. It will automatically update upon completing a task from your itinerary so don't concern yourself with anything beyond your current task."

    Jonathan turned around and eagerly called out. "Mia, Yuri. Come on and let me bring you to the first part of your new life, I am so excited to see you start your first chapter."

    Although he appreciated the gift, Yuri felt a sense of apprehension as he took the complex electronic device from Jonathan. It was exactly the kind of thing he was completely unaccustomed to in his day-to-day life. Even so, his stoic expression did not betray his misgivings and he simply nodded, knowing that this was just another adjustment he was going to have to make.
    "I see. Thank you for this."
    He studied the device briefly then looked up to Jonathan.
    "Technology like this is...not my forte. However, I will put my utmost effort into learning it. I will study it diligently. I will strive to understand its every last function. I will not stop until I make it an extension of myself. I promise you this."
    It really was remarkable how Yuri could say this with a completely straight face, with unquestionable sincerity. Afterwards, he put the PC away.


    For just a brief moment, a shadow fell over Yuri's face. On his application, he left out some of the more...unsavory parts of his previous life. That probably helped get him in the door, but he dreaded what might come out in a psychological exam. What if he was found unfit for paradise after all? What if his dreams were crushed when he was so close to the goal? He quickly pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind, determined to see things through to the end, wherever the road might lead. He gave a slight nod of approval.
    "Very well, then. Lead the way."

    Mia stood quietly until she heard the voice beside her speaking. She was hesitant at first but extended her hand and shook his. In a quiet voice she spoke
    “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well”
    She withdrew her hand and waited for further instructions.

    .
    When handed the schedule, Mia took a close look over it and began looking over it it. She had spent quite a bit of time at the library near her home, when she was able to get free for a few hours, and thanks to some of the technology in the library, she didn’t find it hard to find her way around on the device.
    She knew it would take some time to memorize her schedule as well as learning the area. Mia then took another moment to look around the place called ‘homestead’. She hoped this place will bring her the peaceful living she had hoped.
    When the man mentioned a psychological evaluation, Mia was a little unsure. Would her past trauma prevent her from moving on and being accepted in this place?.

    The man then called to her and the man next to her named Yuri. She shook her head off her thoughts and followed quietly. After catching up she spoke faintly
    “What all is included in the evaluation? “
    She was curious, was this evaluation gonna involve talking to a specialist, or machinery testing. She clutched onto her forms at the thought of machinery testing.

    Jonathan, could see their concerns about the project after he explained the psychological evaluation. Though he wanted to smile knowing full well this was just a formality he didn't change his attitude. In reaffirmation, he nodded at them.

    "Mia, Yuri. You've got nothing to worry about in terms of disqualification. If you've made it this far it is nothing but a formality. You will only be ejected if you lie, or withhold critical information from the specialist. We aren't doing machinery or lie detectors as we have full faith in our clients to be open and honest about their past."

    As a way to gain their trust Jonathan pulled out his own pocket PC and uploaded his case file to them, his history was no more or no less desirable them it read as follows.

    Childhood Trauma, Physical and mental abuse, reactionary behavior from youth. As a teenager got into a lot of scraps, multiple stab wounds on chest, abdomen, and back. Scar tissue confirms it.

    Prone to violent outburst.

    Status: Rehabilitated, living a normal life. No outburst, community manager, strong leadership skills.

    Jonathan smiled as they looked over his history. "I am no longer the man in that file, only a success story from my Time here. If you have any further questions I will gladly answer them."

    Jonathan turned away from Mia and Yuri. And began to walk albeit slowly. "Come now, let's begin the start or your new life." He spoke with excitement and glee. "You'll be who you want to be in no time."

    When Johnathan told them there wouldn’t be any machinery testing, Mia let out a quiet sigh of relief. Mia was always honest and had no reason to lie so she had no concern in passing any testing or have issues answering any questions they had. She heard the alert on the device she was given and looked over the info. When she read the part that mentioned he had dealt with physical and mental abuse, Mia realized she wasn’t the only one here who had been abused. Reading the part where it said he was living a normal life, gave Mia hope.
    She didn’t have any other questions that she could think of at the moment so she continued to follow Jonathan while looking around and soaking in the environment looking forward to a better future.

    Though his face didn't show it, Yuri felt a small sense of relief after hearing Jonathan's words of encouragement. He might even dare to hope that there was a chance to find the life he was searching for, here in this seemingly-utopic society that, by Jonathan's account, seems dedicated to fixing broken people like himself. He still could not bring himself to let go of his lingering doubts, knowing all too well that those things which seem to good to be true often are, but he took this as a good omen at least. He gave a simple, unassuming nod to Jonathan.
    "Very well, no more questions at this time. Please, lead on."
    With that, he followed Jonathan to wherever the exam was meant to take place.

    Jonathan walked, for what seemed to be a brief moment before turning to them and wrly smiling.

    "We're here." He spoke very matter of factly. Though it seemed like nothing, the building in front of them had no signage, and looked very lived in. The stories that could be gleaned from the outside alone were more than could he grasped. It was shabby but in a charming way.

    "When you go in just sit down anywhere, the doctors are already expecting you. I know you likely omitted some details of your life, as everyone does. But I assure you for complete rehabilitation it is in your best interest to get everything out now. After you get out come and speak to me again, I will be waiting right here for you." He paused for a moment knowing he would have to address privacy concerns. "Each seat is surrounded by soundproofing, as a heads up. So nothing either of you say will be heard by the others. Group therapy will be offered later. But that isn't until we think you're ready." He paused once more.

    "After this, come talk to me again. You should get to know your new home."

    Yuri gave a slight bow and replied.
    "Very well. I will return as soon as possible."

    He walked into the building, steeling his mind for whatever may happen next. He found a room as he was told to and stepped inside, standing at attention in front of the awaiting doctor. He introduced himself in his usual stoic manner of speech.
    "Yuri Kilesso. I am here for the psychological evaluation."
    In truth, he was mentally overprepared for the exam to come. He had been interrogated before, in a particularly dark time of his life when he had been captured by rebel insurgents. Thankfully, he was rescued the day after his capture, but what happened in that 24 hours of Hell is first on the long list of memories that Yuri wishes he could forget. In his mind, he knew that this exam would be nothing like that time, but he still felt himself tense up as a sense of anxiety crept up on him. At the same time, the irony of this situation was not lost on him and he found it a little amusing that the purpose of this questioning was not to withhold information, but to divulge as much as possible, which he was more or less prepared to do.
    "I am prepared for questioning at any time, doctor."

    Mia gave a slight nod to johnathan before stepping inside the room. She took a brief moment to absorb her surroundings before telling the doctors who she was. At this point she was a bit nervous, she wondered what all questions she would be asked. After a short moment she sat down and waited for the doctors to begin with the questioning. She looked around once more noticing she couldn’t hear the others. She was glad that she also wouldn’t be heard.
