About PARADISE #1

PARADISE is basically a story that is rather heavily inspired by the different version of Alice in wonderland and Coraline (The film, Mostly) along with several other things from random sources or stuff I came up with from my own mind.

The actual story itself is set in a dystopian future after a war that occurred centuries beforehand and the whole planet is now PRETTY much dead, save for some small areas. And in the whole planet, there is really only ONE place that is safe and is actually thriving, BUT it is only for the creatures that were discarded and brought to near extinction by humanity with their greed, rage and fear of the unknown.

These creatures are known as Abnormals, they are race of beings that came into existence after god himself made them to heal the planet as the humans were destroying it from the inside out with their greed and war. The humans then started a war with these new creatures and nearly brought them all to extinction in a very short war. So the Abnormals fled and claimed a new land they then called Paradise and, as a last gift to them, God made a 'bubble' around this land to keep them safe from humanity and the demons who started to target them as well.

While the abnormals thrived in Paradise, humanity tore itself apart and destroyed the world around them, leaving it barren and full of toxic air and trash with little life and resources remaining. Due to this, many of the remaining human population gathered together and made different societies across the planet, The goal was to survive and avoid fighting within themselves.

And for the most part, everything was somewhat stable, there was little fighting and they just tried to survive and help others survive as well as best as they could, They even quickly regretted the war and wished for the abnormals to come back and fix their mistakes. But, there was a small group of them who remained angry at abnormals, at god, at their own kind. these people separated from the rest of the world and made a city, they called it Malimoor.

they made this city and isolated themselves from the rest of humanity in it, and many humans joined them there and the city soon became populated of people who were also mad at the rest of the world and wanted to be separated, but when they entered, they were never allowed to leave.


As to avoid conflict in their small city the Founders of the city (The ones who originally separated and made the city) created ‘Founders law’ This made everyone lose their identity to make sure everything stayed in order. To make sure things stayed like this They made schools that taught future generations and only teach them the things they wanted them to learn which included lot’s of propaganda, They didn’t even tell them the entire truth about their history and made everyone think that the war wiped off all of the worlds life and the founder created this city for the last survivors (This is a lie). So that means that there was nothing outside of their city and it was a dead wasteland, though, granted, it sorta is but not in the way the founders wanted future generations to know

The residents of Malimoor for the most part are trained and brained washed to be brainless, almost robot-like with no individuality, husks of a human being, only purpose is to serve the city, build it and keep it going for future generations.

Though, in more recent generations, a small percentage of the residents of Malimoor started to rebel against the government, they are called the ‘defectors’. These people disobey and break founders law either privately or openly as they grew to hate it and wanted freedom and individuality.

but whenever a defector is found out they are hunted down by the government who then silence them. They have several ways of doing this and none of them are good and are often violent. Here’s a list.
They either:
Punish them severely either physically or mentally with torture,
Brainwashed and/or drugged,
Kidnapped and jailed for life and in most cases don’t tell the public or the family,
Publicly executed to deter future people defecting.
Taken to court where they are sentenced to one of these options (This does not happen very much),
Have some of their closest family and friends sentenced to one of these options.
Or a combination of multiple of these punishments


As to avoid detection all defectors do whatever they can to avoid being found. One way is the DUMP which lies just outside the city walls and it's really only place where Defectors can go where they can be themselves and free. Many live there and steal resources from the city (As they still believe that there is no other places to go to and survive other than Malimoor) though many still live in the city and regularly sneak out into the DUMP.

Although the dump is considered a haven for Defectors. The DUMP is actually quite a dangerous place for anybody to be in. Mostly because The piles of junk and old buildings are very unstable and large parts of them fall often and the air is very polluted and is not safe to breath in without a mask.
Also the walls that surrounds Malimoor is quite heavily guarded by city Authorities to make sure nobody goes into the dump and to catch any defectors who try to sneak back in for resources.

So the people who decide to risk going into the dump or back in will have to Avoid Authorities that will try to catch and punish them, Avoid large piles of junk falling on their heads and wear masks so they can avoid breathing in the pollution. Though each defector has their own way of surviving, and many have made secret paths and exits in the wall that are undetected and hard to find to anyone but them and if they have one, their group.

though every once in a while A defector is found going into the dump and when this happens they are punished cruelly.




To combat Defectors sneaking into the Dump the government developed DROIDS which are designed for tracking down defectors that stray outside of the city.
