comment
Ataraxion is a Survival Horror panfandom game on Dreamwidth.Player characters wake up in stasis pods aboard an empty colony ship, the Tranquility. They must adapt to life in space, all while the ship and the two surviving members of the crew keep any sort of useful information under wraps.Ataraxion is notable for combining elements of ARGs into its mod plotline, which allows for a high level of interactivity and personal involvement both in and out of character.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The roleplay started at the end of 2011, and ran for years before being abandoned at the start of 2016.

Ship Tease: They don't call it the SS Space Orgy for nothing. Almost every character is shipped with someone if not multiple someones. Surprisingly, there are very few actual serious romantic relationships. Averted with Jon Snow and Ygritte, the couple no one wants together (especially Stannis). Naturally, they finally did.

There's also a surplus of Johns (Buchanan aka Oxford, Watson, Tillman, Egbert and Shepard), Jacks (Harkness, Gibson and Noir), and Isaacs (Mendez and Clarke) you could be looking for. Also there's three Sherlock Holmeses, two Irenes and three John Watsons, so good luck.
