Early Life

As a young octoling, Paradise lived in the domes much like any other. Alongside her sibling, Harus, she was forced into becoming a soldier at a young age in order to alleviate the stress on their family, and to support the octarian army. Among all the other children recruited, Para was the oldest by a year — she took it upon herself to look after all the others while they trained. One day, someone messed around with one of the bombs. They weren’t synced to a respawn point as they were under maintenance — Para was the weapon tech of the group, and was shirking her duties. She was responsible for the accident. Now, she makes sure that nobody messes with the weapons except her. 

At 37, Paradise and her sibling, Harus were frequently chosen for high-importance missions. One mission, they were paired with a young, meek octoling who just went by 'Asa'.  

Four years later, she was allowed a small squadron of three other Octarians soldiers. Of course, it chose Harus and Asa, with the last being an up-and-coming sniper, named Nikolay. The four of them were Dispatch Squad 18, the number emblazoned on every one of their uniforms. The day before her and her squad fell into the Metro was the calmest and happiest day she’s had. Paradise had a quiet birthday on the field. It was sunny and warm, Asa found a nice place to sit and Harus & Nikolay managed to make the MREs into something good. This was several hours before they spotted the inkling that would lead them into the metro.
