Debating between a couple of concepts, am leaning toward an NYC investment banker that abandoned his family and went on the run after the '29 market crash. Maybe some association with organized crime mixed in his background to further justify disappearing.

Love paranormal stories that include spaces out of time so I'm excited for this!

hello, i had a question !

i don’t exactly have a faceclaim for my character, just faces that kind of represent what he might look like, so i was wondering if i could include a physical description too and that would be fine.

Something I’ve been meaning to ask about: I assume the manor hasn’t evolved much with the times and has stayed mostly as it looked when it was built, 1800s-ish? Or have parts of it actually advanced to modernity when it comes to decor and amenities?

do NOT drink the 1800’s tap water

i mean it’s pretty close to original decor wise but it does have modern-ish amenities. not anything fancy or super modern??? if that makes sense?? like they have electricity of course and like television but not smart tvs. wifi is available but pretty garbage. it does need to be appealing to people looking to move in. the people who have been there for decades get pretty blind to the time passing so they don’t really notice just how much time is passing so advancements aren’t that shocking.

do NOT drink the 1800’s tap water

what do you mean???? you don’t want cholera?????!?!!?!

i am also struggling hardcore to find faceclaims for the two lads i’m planning on making

 

[Meatball30]

Okay that makes sense! And yeah, I’m willing to suspend disbelief for the paranormal time dilation so the older folks aren’t super weirded out by internet and newer tech, no worries :p

I had to look for hours to figure out what my FC’s name was after seeing them in a movie a million years ago so I feel this

I have a character I could readapt from WW2 era Korea, but I noticed that there aren't many 2000+ characters so I was thinking maybe having someone more recent like 2005 - 2022 as I'm assuming the newcomer is from 2023

i love the concept that they’re just walking time capsules. old people do the same thing but they’re not as cool i guess

no i love this too. it’s my fave thing

Until the elder guests finally escape the manor grounds and instantly age 70 years

just bc i don’t want my characters to turn to dust if they leave i’m selfishly deciding that won’t happen (but they don’t know that lmao)

 

[livingdead]

being in my 20’s forever and squatting at some mansion doesn’t sound bad at all actually

 

[junegloom]

no fr. i’d lowkey love that.

well. i feel like i’d go a bit stir crazy bc i like traveling but they get pretty blind to how much time is passing so maybe it doesn’t bother them that much

My favorite/most frustrating part of a writing a non-modern character has begun - delving into every linguistics resource I can find on period-appropriate slang or turns of phrase while trying not to overdo it
