"Welcome to Aliunde."
That's what the man in the white coat says to you when you wake inside of the hospital. He doesn't offer any explanations or give you any answers so this here is a guide that will hopefully answer all of your questions.
You're no longer where you thought you were, in fact, you're probably a long way from wherever you called 'home'. There's no need to panic because you're not the only one who's been brought here though that doesn't mean you'll find someone you know.
Where
Aliunde is a planet outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Scanners show that outside of this tiny city the atmosphere of the entire planet is covered with poisonous gases that are quite un-breathable to oxygen-based species. How the city is not effected by these gases has yet to be discovered. There are three satellites orbiting the planet and they can be seen at night when they hang in the sky. Lunar cycles have yet to be determined but it seems this planet functions on an Earth-based calendar.
We are not limited to staying in the city as there are teleporters located around the city that can take you to various Earth-based climates. As to how we were brought here there's a device located underground that's controlled by the female Doctor and a woman named Nikita Jones. There's been no way discovered on how to return home at this point in time but any and all suggestions would be welcome.
The Device
As stated above the device is what brought you here and as far as we know it's located somewhere underground. It's controlled by the Doctor and Miss Jones. We believe that only can it bring people here but it can also send people home. If we are to believe the Doctor than it's also what keeps out hostile creatures when controlled properly.
Departure
Leaving is possible but only when the Head Doctor sees fit. We have no control over when someone will leave and it's almost as if they've just disappeared completely without any sign of how it's done.
Basic Information
Communicator
The device in your hand is a communicator. It allows you to speak with anyone over a long distance and comes with a variety of features such as text, voice, video and holographic means of communication. This also gives you a contact list so you can check to see if anyone you know may be on the planet. To learn more click

The City
It's not a big city and easy to walk from one end to the other. Not only that but it's filled with what are considered the natives who run quite a few of the shops. Bombarding them with questions is of no use as they all believe that this is quite normal and it may well be to them. Several of us newcomers have set up and own business around the city if you know where to look. Your device provides a map of the city if you should find yourself lost.
Currency
That's right, just like any other civilization this city nothing is free. One of the foreign items you were given upon your arrival serves as a currency card which is how all funds exchange hands. There is some money already on the card but it's not much and getting a job is advised to live off of.
Residence
Alongside your other items there is a card with a number printed onto it. This is an apartment assigned to you that is rent-free. All newcomers are welcome to stay in these apartments for as long as they wish but it is not the only accommodations on the planet. However, moving out of the apartment generally requires monthly payments.
Weapons
All weapons are taken upon arrival and it may be some time before you see them again. A newcomer blacksmith
Hiccup has taken up residence near the junkyard for anything you may want in that time. If you don't have supernatural abilities then there's a good chance that you may see your weapon in two months.
Abilities/Magic
These too have been taken, although we're unsure as to how, but they too will return with time. One ability every two months until either you're sent home or until you have them all.
"Events"
From time-to-time there are events that occur that disrupt our daily lives. Some are harmless such as an appearing and disappearing carnival or candies that temporarily change your appearance but there are deadly ones as well. Both original residents and newcomers have lost their lives to these "events".
The Terraformed Areas
There are six available locations where you may find yourself if you visit one of these areas. The country, the beach, the rainforest, the forest, the artic and the desert. Most of these places provide dangers if you should stay too late. Only the country and the beach seem safe after night has fallen.
The School and Children's Home
Children have been brought here and need caring for and schooling. There is a newcomer set-up where both are available.
If anyone has anything to add to this let me know here and I'll put it in.
