CHARACTER RULES AND GUIDELINES




  • The deadline for submitting your completed character sheets is 13th May. If for any reason you are unable to meet that date, I will allow two more days. The same stands for people that join the roleplay later than 10th May.
  • There is no character or participant limit, however the first personages I will be accepting will be 4 ghosts and 4 humans so as to keep the numbers even to some extend. After this minimum is met, all characters that cover the other requirements will be accepted
  • Like = Accepted
  • If your character is not allowed into the roleplay then I will message you personally via PMs. I will give the roleplayer a second chance to revamp their persona to fit in better, assuming they still wish to participate.
  • I expect to see fleshed out and detailed characters that are diverse and interesting. Spelling and punctuation are a must, and although I am no grammar Nazi, you having a good grasp of the English language will make the roleplay enjoyable for everyone.
  • No Gary Sues/Mary Sues will be accepted. Keep thing realistic and do not overpower your personas. This stands especially true to the ghost characters
  • Go easy on the sob-story. Despite the fact that this is a horror roleplay and sad motives are not only allowed, but also encouraged in certain aspects, the plot still has a leaning for the comedic.
  • As mentioned above, diversity is key to a good roleplay and I wish to see just that. The ghosts can be of any type - benevolent, malevolent, in denial of their own death, shy, angry, etc. The same goes for the humans - they can be interested in the entities, or frightened, or amused by them, or not care at all. The creator has all the freedom in deciding this point.
  • Seeing as the humans are university students, I expect them to be between the ages of 18 and 27. However, there is no age limit when it comes down to the ghosts, not for how old they look (how old they were when the passed away), nor how long ago they met their demise. Children, teens, adults, elders, passed away in the XX century or the XXI - everything is a-okay.
  • All gender identities, sexualities, nationalities and races are allowed and welcomed.
  • If anyone has an issue with a character's aforementioned traits, then this is not the roleplay for you. Respecting your fellow roleplayers is a must.
  • You can style you CS however you like.
  • The most important rule when creating a character is, as cliche as it sounds, to have fun and let your creativity flow.

DRESSED
Appearance


Lucian is a product of XXI and early XX century Dandysim, thus he is the stereotypical dandy, with a "dandy" being a man who places particular importance on the way he looks and dresses, being a fashion icon of sorts. Hence, the man is especially careful about grooming himself, making sure to style and sleek his golden locks with precision and care, as well as make his milky white skin impeccable by applying powder, which only accentuates his baby blue eyes. He is furthermore quite careful about his posture and keeping everything about his air tidy, being somewhat of a clean-freak. Basically, Lucian truly is a model of the movement he belongs to, and his natural features certainly aid in that, apart from the additional care he puts into presenting himself in the best of ways.


He was born with light hair, skin and eyes, reminding one very much of a child. To top it off, the man has always been youthful, to some extend even baby-faced, with slightly feminine features such as full lips, an elegant physique and posture, accompanied by shorter height for his gender, standing at merely 5'6 (1.70 m). This never did bother him, since his stoic manner of carrying himself and dimpled chin gave off enough of the masculine pride he needed to balance out his persona. Being vain, and openly so, Lucian does very much compare himself to Michelangelo's David, striving to be as perfect and eternal in his beauty as that sculpture. After all, according to his moral belief, there is nothing beyond beauty in this world.

As previously mentioned, fashion is an important part of not only Lucian's persona, but the fundamental dogma he stands for. Of course, having lived in a different time-period, his concept of what's trendy varies from the conventional modern-day fads. The man favors sharp suits, vests, overcoats, gloves, top-hats and shirts, all sow from the best of materials and colored in the best of dyes. He never leaves his room unless he looks perfect, not allowing himself casual clothing as that would shame what he stands for. The most he would go for is a robe. Additionally, some accessories he sports occasionally are a ornate golden pocket watch and an engraved silver cigar case that used to belong to his first "love", from whom he "borrowed" the valuable back in the day. Lucian himself never enjoyed cigars, being more of a cigarette type of person, with one of his priced possessions being a cigarette holder.

Scare-factor


Lucian is not inherently frightening - quite the contrary, actually, taking into account his appearance. He is not one to send shivers down a poor person's spine or jump them whilst making a twisted grimace, mainly due to the fact that he does not realize his own state as a ghost and the abilities that come with that. However, even if he was conscious of this fact, the man would proceed in a more intelligent and stealthy manner, preferring mind games to cheap scares. Back in the day, he used to be quite unintentionally scary, whispering hatred into unsuspecting humans' ears and lingering about his targets of spite, like a shadow one cannot get rid off. Yet, after a while, his sneakiness ceased with the departure of those he loathed. Nowadays, the scariest thing when it comes down to Lucian is that he is very flamboyant and will scream at you, coming out of nowhere and sending you into a shock. Basically, he is much more surprising than frightening, though him giving you and earful every time you do the tiniest thing he would consider moronic is a blood-chilling prospect.{/slide}

Death
Lucian's demise was a crime of passion and pride, yet a murder in cold blood, nevertheless. Travelling across the Atlantic to see his lover, Joseph King Beaumont - the youngest heir of the Beaumont family in the late 1920s - was a rash spontaneous decision on his part. Even being aware of this, him not bearing to be so far away from the other man overpowered his logical side, and Lucian decided to surprise him.


He arrived in Starbrook Manor one late night in early August, which was a place he had visited merely once before during a summer whilst all other members of the Beaumonts were gone off travelling. He possessed solely fond memories from that romantically poetic period of his existence. However, this time around was different - all relatives had come together, and for a family meeting of utmost importance to the business at that. Lucian was not greeted so kindly by Joseph due to this fact. The American was angered that the Brit would ever be this careless, threatening to expose their relationship by coming here so unexpectedly. The movement for gay rights was still shaky, conservatism threatening to come back with full force in the blink of an eye and lynch everyone that strayed from the norm. Plus, "gayness was for the common folk". That's what Joseph had told Lucian once before. That was his excuse for keeping their relationship a secret, for being estranged and cold.


Lucian had had enough of this lack of attention and affection by this point, and decided to remain in Starbrook, even if just to spite the other man. He would visit the mansion every day to annoy Joseph, flirting with the staff and female relatives, putting on a show and parading around with his dandyness. Well, this was to be expected. The Brit had always been a bit melodramatic and stubborn. Yet, this time around his actions would have dire consequences...


It took only a week for his true relationship with Joseph to come to light. It was written everywhere - in his words and body language towards the Beaumont heir. Beaumont Senior was the first to notice, and he made sure no one on the outside would. Keeping up with a reputation was important for a family with such power, and any scandals would be a crack in the influence they had over Starbrook and even branching out of the settlement. Initially, the old man tried to bribe Lucian into leaving, yet the hotheaded youth did not comply. Reasoning followed, and then threats, and then death...


In the dead of night, on 13th August 1926, Lucian Cain Durant "took his own life by jumping off of the 4th floor attic window of Starbrook Manor". That's what all the papers stated, anyway... Yes, the Beaumonts covered up the man's death as a suicide that had occurred while they had had him over for dinner to discuss some serious matters. Regarding the issues in question, the family went as far as to allege him of harboring "perverse one-sided intentions" towards their son, Joseph, and eventually killing himself since the feelings were not mutual.


Joseph himself attested to this story, relieved to have protected his dignity. Of course, this action would bite him and his family back quite harder in the years to follow...
Aftermath
After the deed had been carried out, Joseph King Beaumont found it surprisingly easy to sleep, even relaxing. After all, a nuisance, a danger to his reputation, had been removed, in spite of that "problem" once having been dubbed his lover. Well, the heir had to admit that the two men had had their moments in the past, yet he was now happy to leave them at that and never see the face of Lucian Cain Durant ever again.


Or at least so he thought...


Lucian had never anticipated the strong hand that had pushed him out of the window. Even more, he had never expected to witness Joseph's face gazing down at him as he was falling back, towards the hard ground. He remembered hitting the said surface with a loud thud and a gasp, his air being knocked out of him as his lungs were crushed under the weight of the impact. He had immediately shot a hand to his injured chest and then aching back, looking up to glare daggers at the one responsible for this.


"Are you insane!? You could have killed me, you twat!" Lucian had screamed in anger at Joseph, his voice echoing through the night air. Beaumont Junior had ignored him, like the prick he had always been, calmly stepping away from the window, which had gotten Lucian's blood boiling with rage even more, if that was humanly possible.


Getting up off the ground, he had cleaned off his suit, struggling to make it as sharp as it had been, and had then stormed into the manor, throwing its doors wide open. If only he had remained, he may had noticed everyone yelping in shock as the front doors moved so suddenly, as if under the effect of strong wind, despite there being no such weather at that moment. He might have noticed his lifeless corpse lying sprawled on the ground, all mangled up in an unnatural position. He might have noticed doctors and detectives rolling up to the scene, having been called in by the perpetrators that were parading around as simple observers of the tragedy. If that had all occurred in front of his eyes, maybe Lucian would not be this deluded now, not even being aware of his own demise.


However, if he had, he probably would have taken the advantage to scare Joseph to death. Instead, his actions ultimately lead to the other man's spiral into insanity.


Finding himself in the manor, he immediately went for his now ex-lover, and tried to interact with the man, screaming right into his ears profanities that he had not used since he was a young lad living in a common household. It was worth returning to his loathed vulgar beginnings just this once, for this "special occasion". Yet, to his disappointment, Joseph seemed to pay him no mind. Was he ignoring Lucian? Either way, Luc did not back down. He spent days pestering the Beaumonts, including all relatives and staff. However, his efforts never did bear any fruit. Everyone appeared to be pretending as if he was not there. Was this some stupid trick Joseph had thought up to tease and piss off Lucian?


That only fueled Luc's need to nag at everyone, constantly complaining and shouting at them. His breakthrough came once Joseph confessed in front of his father that he was "hearing voices" and that they sounded an awful lot like Lucian. Luc himself, on the other hand, was more than content to see his now most hated human in existence cower in fright, if only slightly, as that confession escaped past his lips. It brought on a grin to Luc's own lips, which only intensified once Beaumont Senior stated, in a low and secretive tone, the very same.


This was only the start of Lucian's haunting - the first such paranormal event in Starbrook Manor, seeing as he was the first spirit to make it his abode - even if the man himself did not realize his own supernatural presence. In the following years, things escalated quickly - Joseph had continuous nightmares and soon came to see a shadow always lingering around him, which later he recognized as the man he had killed. This phantom would stalk Joseph, pushing him to attempt all sorts of things to get rid of this reminder of his guilt, from magic to exorcism. In the end he became a religious fanatic and was sent to an asylum for his own safety as well as that of others. His father possessed a stronger will, yet the ghost following him took a toll on his business and he lost a lot of money, turning to alcohol and gambling as an escape from the constant stress. The other relatives had it easier, their things solely being moved around or feeling cold spots in certain areas, though they soon came to refuse to stay over at Starbrook Manor, starting off the legend of it being a ghost hotspot. Under the influence of the whole Beaumont family, the house was voted to be abandoned, and most moved not only out of Starbrook, but also overseas.


And, as it was predicted, the manor did come to be a residence for ghosts. It seemingly pulled in the spirits of those that found the end of the road in its vicinity, all of which was catalyzed by a single death - that of Lucian. The man himself was initially delighted to have the space all up for himself, and the first few years were bliss. His dream of being of the aristocracy, possessing such a beautiful mansion, was fulfilled. And then all the others started emerging... The man never did become close with the residents, initially even trying to get them off the property, yet once a caretaker was hired by the sole surviving Beaumont, he gave up on these attempts. After all, Dylan Morrison did not only govern the house, but quickly took to communicating with and guarding all in the household.


In the end, Lucian was forced to spend eternity with others - some of whom he detested, and other who were... semi-decent in his eyes. Truth be told, despite often exaggerating his dislike for the rest, he does find peace in being here, together with them, in Starbrook Manor...

Relationships

​
  • Anastasia Jahanson - Lucian does not know this individual and does not care for her in the least...
  • Emmett Cooper - The man has laid his eyes upon this individual once in the past, when the vice-chancellor came by to see how the renovations were going, and he found that the human was... utterly unremarkable. Lucian swears he's never seen someone so unfashionable and dull, which naturally turned him off immediately. However, it was only recently that he truly came to loathe Mr Cooper, seeing as he played the center part in inviting these irritating university students.
  • Dylan Morrison - Initially, Lucian was disgusted by Mr Morrison. Their styles clashed so viciously, that the dandy could not help but scoff and turn his gaze away in something akin to nausea. However, nowadays the two have come to an understanding. Each does what he likes and does not meddle in the business of the other. On occasion, the two might even share a chat over some delicious tea, prepared by Dylan, in the sitting room.
  • Madeline - Lucian doesn't think much of the little girl ghost, and even avoids her to some extend, not wishing to participate in her childish games. However, he has, albeit begrudgingly, agreed to playing along with her in the past on some scarce occasions. In all honesty, she annoys the man quite less than some of his other housemates so he can't really complain.

Thoughts on Humans


Lucian does not enjoy others' company unless he can benefit from it in some manner, and the man does not hide this fact. To him the masses are annoying and, even worse, vulgar as well as corrupt, lacking any beauty. Seeing as he assumes everyone around him to be human, his behavior towards all of his housemates is the same - he avoids them. Rarely does he interact, hidden away in his bedroom or browsing the library. Few individuals can appeal enough to him so as to get the man to actually like and respect them. In order to achieve such a thing, you have to be "of impressive style and intelligence", whatever that might entail in Lucian's book...


Thoughts on the Issue


Despite not being too buddy-buddy with the rest of the residents, he can agree with most on one thing - he is not happy with more people moving in. This would only lead to more noise and rows and trouble. However, Lucian is certainly not willing to help with "scaring them away". To him that's stupid and mindless. His tactic involves arguing with them instead, and persistently so, or putting to work his "charm" to persuade them.


Haunting Spot


Lucian has made it very clear over the years that room 301 is his, and his alone - the very room from the window of which he fell to his death. Regardless, that memory does not plague him seeing as he does not realize his own demise, thus this is the place he occupies most of the time, not tolerating any intrusion into his personal space, though this phantom can be occasionally spotted in the library or living room at leisure.{/slide}

Biography


Relationships


His roommates are a complete mystery to him and he is yet to meet any of the university staff or even the mansion caretaker in whose care he will be left. Of course, Hugo also knows nothing regarding the residents already present in Starbrook Manor...


tumblr_mdaq98fuZh1qazd28o4_250.gif



View on the Supernatural


No one is aware of this, and Hugo would definitely never allow for the secret to become public unless it would slip out somehow, but he is absolutely terrified of things that go bump in the night, his fright only intensified by the fact that he actually believes in all these legends that rational human beings would dub "ridiculous". Growing up with older siblings that would often tease him through ghosts stories, like most kids in such a situation he came to actually believe in things such as phantoms, demons, goblins, vampires and so on and so forth. However, unlike most, he never did get over this irrational fear. Even to this day Hugo is a firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, despite pretending to not care for it. His true feelings show through when his face turns white as a sheet in the presence in anything seemingly ominous. The man has 3 possible reactions in such case -pretend and play it cool, despite sweating profusely; cower away somewhere and use obscure tricks such as intense and salt to get rid of the spirits; faint in fright.


Thoughts on the Issue


Hugo was amazingly excited to not only be accepted into a pristine university such as Starbrook University, but also to at last start his independent life as an adult and rid himself of his family's overbearing care. He especially looked forward to his dorm, which he knew would be a very old and fancy mansion. The man had anticipated glamour and hidden passageways and grand dancing halls, yet what he got instead did not please him. The ancient building with its creaky boards and tons of dust covering everything sent chills down Hugo's spine as soon as he saw it loom on the horizon, its atmosphere suffocating even from miles away. Basically, the man is far from thrilled to be living here, but is going to have to suck it up until they allocate him to a new dorm if such an option pops up ever. He just can't afford an apartment at this point in time.


Dorm Room


His decision for choosing room 103 may seem quite childish in some people's eyes, yet, deciding to rely on symbolism, he chose the dorm, the index of which, when all its digits are added to each other, equals 4 - his favorite number.

It took her some time to realize and accept being a ghost, but after a week or so she then started to realize. Although she does not show it often, Malaya is a little sad about the fact that she died. She had dreams of living her life normally, successfully but it never happened, and won't ever happen unless she found a nice ghost boy to settle down for eternity with. Her interactions with humans vary on the person. She is nice and helpful to those she has taken a liking to, malicious to those she feels are genuinely bad or rude people, and indifferent, polite, or friendly to those she has no opinion on. She finds herself being able to bond most with young adults and people her age, as well as some open-minded adults such as the caretaker, Mr. Morrison.

what



tumblr_n08c2pFAnP1rfzagwo1_250.gif



Name: Annabelle Rose Hart.


Nicknames: Anna, mostly, although Annie and Belle are accepted. Naturally, she's been subject to a selection of somewhat derogatory names regarding her appearance, as many women she knows have, but those are to be ignored. For the most part, anyway.


Gender: Cisfemale.


Sexuality: Bisexual, and very openly so.


Nationality: Presumably American, although her voice has a slight hint of a British accent to it.


Date of Birth: July 19th, 1922.


Date of Death: November 10th, 1942.


Apparent Age: Twenty years old.


Real Age: Roughly 74 years old.


Type of Ghost: She is reasonably harmless, rarely causing any trouble beyond the odd but of teasing. Mostly, she just flirts with anyone who comes through the doors or tells them long, gory horror stories about the residents, many of them exaggerated or made up all together.


a






Appearance:


tumblr_n08c2pFAnP1rfzagwo2_250.gif



Appearance: Anna may have always been of a relatively low class during her life time, but prides herself on her good looks and ability to maintain a pretty exterior. She is tall and slender (though in life she always yearned to put on more weight, insisting that to be plump and buxom would be much better) with long legs, a reasonably little waist, and she is noticeably busty. Her skin was always pale, but in death it is even more so, almost like porcelain; this contrasts somewhat dramatically with the rich, dark red shade of her hair, which she wears either in loose curls or up in an intricate, twisted style to keep it out of her face. Appearances mean a great deal to Anna, not just her own, but everybody else's; she is often drawn to those who are pretty, or at least keep themselves well dressed, and wrinkles her nose at anyone who does not make what she considers to be a considerable effort.


Face-claim; Alexandra Breckenridge.


Attire: Anna is usually only ever seen wearing her maid's outfit, a somewhat revealing black dress with thigh high stockings, a lacy white apron, and white trimmings on the sleeves. This outfit is always absolutely pristine, proof that she rarely partakes in any actual housework; she becomes incredibly distressed when she tears her skirt or ladders her stockings, as she likes things to be neat. In fact, she cannot sleep when there are unmended clothes nearby, even is they aren't her own.

Personality:


Vices


Anna judges people very swiftly, and the impression they first give her can last an eternity; it takes a lot to change her opinions once she has made up her mind. Furthermore, she's a critical young woman, and will pick out flaws in somebody that others might not notice-- some may be ridiculous.


She does not respect boundaries of any sort. Physical boundaries do not exist in her mind, she'll use your lap as a seat or lie across you or hug you without a second thought. In addition, she doesn't see any issues with pursuing people who are in a relationship-- if she sees somebody that she wants, she'll simply go after them regardless of their status. She is somewhat vain in the sense that she feels she can easily get whoever she wants, and is crazily flirtatious.


Though she was once a dedicated maid, Anna now goes through period of extreme laziness where she refuses to do anything and expects others to wait on her. She'll lie herself down and dust the area around her without getting up before having a long, long nap. This is usually when she is complaining of a headache, a pain that occurs roughly where the bullet that killed her hit.


Manipulative, she'll flirt and lie and twist people's words to get what she wants, whether it's information, money, anything like that. She is a firm believer in the 'everyone for themselves' mentality.


Anna is not entirely independent in the sense that she almost needs to be admired and adored. She craves the attention, the feeling of worth, and she can't deal with it when she is not the object of desire. Thus, she can get very jealous of other women (though she can be jealous of men too if they pursue a girl that she wants).


Virtues


Anna has an odd motherly streak running through her and is very protective of those who appear to be younger than her. She will jump in to protect them at even the slightest sense of danger or insult. Also, she enjoys being in the company of children and is oddly good with them.


Even though she manipulates people for personal gain, she can be a good listener and, if she truly cares for you, will keep your secret and take it to the- Well, not to the grave, but she'll keep it safe.


Despite being, you know, dead, Anna is a reasonably positive young woman who is not the sort to mope, whine, or fear for the worst. She tries to find opportunities and profit in any situation, including the impending arrival of the students.


She is passionate, both in love and the few things she enjoys-- an example is music. From a young age, she was a singer, and after her death she truly mastered the piano; she can often be heard playing or singing well into the night. Perhaps her desire to play the piano is fuelled by her longing to be an upperclass woman during her life.

Intolerance.


Scare-factor: Anna is unlikely to participate in much actual haunting due to the fact that she'd simply rather be lying down or messing around. She'll move possessions around or pull hair when feeling particularly childish, but isn't the most frightening of ghosts. That is, unless she gets jealous-- she can be very hostile and even violent towards the person she focuses her jealousy on.


little






Life-story: Born out of wedlock, Anna's father had cleared off before she was even born. This left her with her mother, Eloise, a young woman who had been cast it by her elderly parents for bringing such a disgrace upon the family. Growing up in a world where she had to do everything she could to get by, Anna learnt how to work hard and not take things for granted, but at the same time developed a jealous streak and lost out on the childhood that many of her peers had. She left school early and by the time she was sixteen, she was working in the Manor, residing there and sending almost every penny of her wages back to her ailing mother.

Death: Anna's death was sudden, and only partially the poor girl's fault. She'd been working for a family for a while, living in the manor, when the head of the family began to come onto her, flirting with her, backing her up into the wall. Eventually, not wanting to risk losing the best job she'd ever had by brushing off her employer, she gave in and gave him everything he wanted. This continued for a while, increasing after the man's wife left him and never returned. It was the man's daughter who one day discovered Anna with her father and, blaming the maid for her parents' split, pulled out her gun in a flash of blind fury and shot the poor girl through the head.


Aftermath: Shortly after Anna's death, the tenants moved out swiftly, having dumped the body in a shallow grave in the garden. This is partially why the young woman cannot move on-- she's never been able to find her own remains and feels she needs them for closure. That and the fact that she isn't ready to let go. Eloise was the only person outside of the guilty family to know about the murder, but the poor old woman passed away before she could alert the authorities, and Anna had been one of those girls that would never have been a high profile investigation anyway; she was simply forgotten, swept under the rug. This made her bitter.

Relationships:


Madeline


Probably the youngest resident (in appearance, that is) of the house, Madeline has appealed to Anna's soft spot and as a result, the redhead loves joining in with her games. In fact, she almost seems like a different person when she's around the child.


Dylan


The first time the two met, Anna badgered him about his tattoos. They are on good terms, but not the closest of friends. He is, however, one of her favourite human residents.


Thoughts on Humans: She believes that they're nothing more than a bit of fun, and doesn't entirely oppose their arrival, yet won't welcome them with open arms. She is likely to flirt and mess around, as well as gossip to them about one another and her fellow spirits; she loves nothing more than a good secret.


((will complete relationships if accepted.))


Thoughts on the Issue:


Humans&Occupants


The new arrivals will likely be judged critically by Anna on a case-by-case basis, meaning there is a strong possibility that she will like some and loathe others. In her opinion, their arrival will not disturb her too much so long as they don't bring guns into the house, make too many messes, or touch her piano. The human who dares to set even a toe inside her room, let alone attempt to play the piano, will be dealt with severely by the little maid. Truly, she does not care whether they come or not, but sees them as a bit of fun, the boys in particular.


Haunting Spot: Anna's favourite room is number 208, as it not only has a nice view from a window, but it has a piano. Sure, it's old now with one of the keys missing and the rest of them worn, but she never mastered the piano in life and has had plenty of time in death.

Tessa McClean

I think I am a better ghost than I am a human being
Unknown
​



Basics





Name: Tessa McClean


Nickname: Tess, T

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual


Nationality: British


Date of Birth: 20th March, 1985


Date of Death: 1st November, 2004


Apparent Age: 19 years old


Real Age: 31 years old


Type of Ghost: Tessa has come to accept the fact that she is a ghost. Every now and then she may get a little sad because she misses her family, or because she wants to live life like a human, where she can be seen but most of the time she likes her ghostly abilities. She enjoys scaring humans, it gives her a real laugh, and being able to pass through them, pass through walls and all that jazz. She isn't fully benevolent or malevolent she is somewhere in between the two so sometimes it is quite hard to fully decipher her motives.

​

Appearance




2a4409e8f1711b5e44cd0d5ab0538f32.jpg


Appearance: Tessa has never been considered tiny for her entire short life. That was because she was always pretty tall since she was young. She now is a full 5'6" but that doesn't stop her from wearing her prized heels. Her blonde hair, which is almost always left down or in a ponytail, reaches just below her mid-back, her big brown eyes are always looking for a new adventure or ready to scare another unsuspecting person. She never really wears makeup except for a little lip-gloss, which probably doesn't even count as makeup. Tessa is sometimes easy to read but there are other times when she is an expert at masking her emotions. There is a small tattoo on Tessa's right wrist with the infinity sign and her name meaning if she doesn't have anyone else, she'll have herself forever.


Attire: Tessa is an 80's and 90's girl so she still likes to wear that style of clothing because that was popular back in those days. She was a little more into fashion in the 2000's so there is still a modern twist to her clothing style. Short shorts with leggings under them, tartan jackets tied around her waist, beanies, ripped jeans, hipster skirts, even hipster glasses. You name it, she most likely has it. Tessa leans more toward the hipster side than the grunge side but a few grungy accessories like the circle glasses can be found in her outfit.

Personality




Personality: Tessa is like a puzzle. They're many parts of her to be filled in, in order to make her personality whole. The two things that are for certain, though, are she loves an adventure and she enjoys scaring people for the fun of it. Tessa, as said before, lingers between benevolent and malevolent so she isn't entirely good or evil. There are times where Tessa could be the nicest, sweetest person ever and then she could be rude, sassy and sarcastic. She isn't bipolar, she just doesn't have one remote way of thinking. Most people enjoy Tessa's company as she can be pretty funny without being insulting, she knows when to say the right thing and tries not to be anyone's enemy although there are some people that make you want to punch their teeth in. At school, Tessa also had a knack for solving things using logic and she actually enjoyed school. Learning about new things was one of he favorite things to do but when she would be caught up in a book, it took a toll on her social life.

Scare Factor: Tessa considers herself to be pretty scary because one time she scared a human so bad, he wet himself and it is pretty funny to watch. Her methods can range from moving around chairs and making noises to making dolls talk and things inanimate objects seem to be alive. She does have a scaring partner, one of her friends who died shortly after her, Ashley, and the two of them could make anyone who doesn't believe in ghost flee for the lives. Though Tessa only scares for the laughs and the fun of it, sometimes she enjoys seeing the humans scamper in fear.




​

Background



Life-story: The ghostly girl grew up as a normal kid with only a mother to raise her. Being an only child meant that it was only her and her mother. Her father left her and Tessa's mom when she was only 2 years old so she doesn't really know who he is or what he looks like. At school, Tessa had a relatively big friend circle but she mostly hung out with Crissie who was her best friend. On her long list of friends, Crissie came first and Ashley came second. Tessa had a few romantic relationships over the year but nothing serious. When Tessa completed high school, she was the Salutatorian of her class and had gotten into Stanford University. She was in her first year studying law when the tragedy that was her death happened. If wasn't for Tessa's death, she is convinced that by now she would be a successful lawyer with a husband and a family to take care of.


Death: Tessa's death was a careless, unexpected one but this tragedy wasn't entirely her fault. One evening, it was becoming quite late but it wasn't entirely dark out. Tessa was going to visit her mom but seeing as she took a pit stop at a nearby fast-food restaurant, she was a little behind schedule. Her, being in a rush to get home, took some short cuts through the bad part of town. She could've sensed that something bad was going to happen but ignored the feeling and continued through this area of town, which was known to be the territory of was of the most fearsome gangs in town.


Unexpectedly, another gang popped out of nowhere and apparently this gang had some big beef with the other gang and a whole gang war broke out. Bullets were going off, members of different gangs were running at each other. All hell broke loose, it was absolute chaos and poor Tessa was stuck right in the middle not knowing what to do and one of the most unfortunate things was that she was dressed in red which was one of the gang's colors so she seemed like a member even though she looked nothing like a gangster. She scooted off to the direction of her house, trying to go unnoticed but that plan failed as one of the other gang members spotted her. Someone from another gang had attacked her and by then she was struggling to get them off. When she finally did, the most tragic thing happened, she suffered a bullet straight through her heart. She didn't die instantly but soon enough.


Aftermatch: That night, Tessa's mother found out the devastating news over the news. The story was tragic and Tessa's mother rushed down to the hospital where her dead body was to get one final look at her only pride and joy of her life. Her mother grieved for many days on end and the funeral broke the hearts of many more. Tessa was a loved one of many so it only made sense that they were completely broken and that the funeral broke them more. As a ghost, Tessa couldn't stand to watch her loved ones grieving over her loss because alas, she couldn't understand why. She believed that they could see her right there and that that dead person was not her even though she remembered her death clearly. At that point she was at stage 1: Denial.


She stayed a ghost in denial for many weeks, even months. She would watch her mother's daily routine and would cry when her mother cried. It was devastating and after a while she couldn't take it anymore so she


traveled elsewhere, angry that there was nothing she could do for her mother to stop the pain. She didn't stay at stage two for a long time, neither did she stay at stage 3: Bargaining. Alas, she somehow ended up in Vermont at a house with other ghosts. At that point in time, she had gotten to stage 4: Depression and was hardly making any new ghostly friend. At this house, she would stay in the room she would given, laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling or the wall thinking about everything and becoming immune-er to the pain gnawing at her insides by day. This stage lasted by far the longest and the only person who pulled Tessa out before she was too far gone was Ashley Daniels, one of her previously mentioned best friends. Ashley had died not too long after Tess but Tess was too caught up in herself to notice. Ashley had gotten through the stages way better and faster than Tessa and helped her to reach the last stage: Acceptance.





Relationships: Ashley Daniels- Tess' partner in crime. The two of them make an incredible scaring team an the two of them are best friends. The two ghosts are almost inseparable and enjoy each other's company because they knew each other before they died and Tessa's seems to think that Ashley is the only one that she can trust.


Madeline- Tessa befriended the small girl during her stay at the house. Sometimes the two girls enjoy playing little games together like dress up or tea-party.


Thoughts on humans: Tessa does not despise humans because she find them to be the best prey. Sometimes they can be annoying because of the fact that they always blabber on about how ghosts don't exist and all that but she has to remind herself that she was once one of those same humans and if not for this, she wouldn't believe in ghosts either so most of the time, that is what keeps her in check unless she would flip out. It sickens her that they don't believe but all the while it makes scaring more fun and seeing the expressions on their faces is like the icing on the cake. That way she proved that ghosts do exist and she gets a good laugh out of it too.


Thoughts on the issue: Tessa is actually happy about the fact that the university students are coming to the the old house because it has been quite a while since Tessa got her scare on. Although she isn't happy about the fact that they are invading her home and then act like they don't know she is there (even though they don't know) she still thinks it's unfair. How would they feel if someone came to invade their personal space without knowing that they are there? Nevertheless, Tessa gets over it and has her daily dose of fun.


Haunting Spot: Tessa can usually be found in the sitting room or the entry hall. She stays on the second floor for leisure. The siting room, in Tessa's opinion, is the best place to haunt because classic ghost tricks are pulled the best in there like flickering the lights on and off, opening and closing drawers, shaking the chandelier and more. In Tessa's leisure time, she can be found in the reading and relaxation room reading. She sleeps in room 202 but other than that, most of her time is either spent in the reading and relaxation room or in the sitting room.



​

Miscellaneous







Theme:


Extras: Tessa has a tendency to mix 90's way of speech with the way the people in 2000's speak. Though there are too many of her little phrases to type, here are a few examples:


"Aiight" Meaning 'Alright' or 'Okay'


"What's up chica?" Meaning 'what's up girl'


"Chill out." Meaning to 'Calm down'


"Mate" Meaning friend either male or female


"Eat my shorts!" Meaning something like 'Go to hell' or 'Screw you!'


"Hella!" Meaning 'Really'


"Good to go." meaning 'All set'

Description: Standing roughly five feet four inches, Lydia is considered short, but is persistent about being 'average height.' Her naturally wavy dark hair, matches contrasts with her light green eyes, making her face seem even paler than she already is. She has a semi-athletic build, she is still building muscle, but there is obviously some there already.


Attire: She likes to keep her style very simple and comfortable. She wears little to no jewelry, and when she does, she wears simple necklaces and small earrings. She enjoy's wearing the latest trends in clothing, but nothing too flashy. But while her style varies from skirts to jeans, she still likes to keep it very simple.



Name: Lydia Christensen


Gender: Cisgender Female


Sexuality: Pansexual


Nationality: American


Date of Birth: February 17th


Age: 19


Occupation: Part-Time lifeguard


Major: Biology


Personality: Lydia is very nurturing and kind. She cares very much about everyone around her and their mental and physical health, regardless of how long she has known them. She will always try to see the best in people, and won't give up on them regardless of how toxic they may be to her mental and physical health. She loves being around people, and learning about their experiences. But, she also wants other people to love being around her. So, she tries to make everyone feel secure and safe whenever she can, even if that means sacrificing her own well-being.


It is very difficult for her to stay silent in a very sad or serious situation, as she lacks the ability to let people suffer, so she tries to cheer everyone up with her own witty sense of humor. This, at times, can come off as overbearing and overly confident, but she also tends to get flustered when the situation turns too serious, and for her own sake, will try and make it less so.


When she's sad or angry, she doesn't want people to know about it. She tries very hard to maintain her bubbly personality, and doesn't want anyone to see her in any other way except her best.


History: Lydia grew up in an average household, with only her older brother and mom. Her dad left her mother before she was born, but her mother, who worked as a surgeon, made enough money to pay the bills and feed the kids. They often weren't able to afford much extra until her brother was able to get a job, but Lydia was always a very happy girl, regardless of the situation. According to the state, she had above average grades, getting mostly B's with a few mixed A's, and regardless of how seemingly 'average' it felt, she was proud of them.


After becoming a part of the local choir program in grade school, she developed a love for music, and singing as a whole. She was never able to reach her full vocal potential, but was able to gain miraculous progress through self-teachings, internet videos, and the choir class which she has stuck with for most of her life. She formed a band with a few of her classmates in highschool with the dream of becoming a world-renowned pop band. It was, to put it bluntly, a disaster, and lasted nearly two months before they broke up and never spoke of it again. This caused her to stop singing for a while, to stop the painful memories, and she never really got back into it.


By far, her favorite class in high school was life science and anatomy. She loved learning about the body and how it worked. So, she chose to become a surgeon, just like her mom. The idea of being able to help people, and continue to learn more about life as a whole coxed her to major in Biology.


In her sophomore year, she joined her high school swim team after being dragged into it through by a friend, more than anything so they could "hang out" more. After a few practices, she developed a new love for it, leaving her old love of singing as a side hobby that she did in her free time, when nobody was watching.

Thoughts on the Supernatural: She tries not to think of about it very much, as she can get spooked pretty easily, especially at night. She believes that there are things in the world that people can't always understand, but that doesn't necessarily means ghosts.


Relationships: None so far with anyone who works at the mansion.


Thoughts on the Issue: She knows that there have been rumors of the mansion being haunted, but she honestly thinks it's pure superstition.


Small towns always have
allegedly haunted buildings. Have you ever watched a movie?



As for the building itself, she thinks it's simply a cool old house, with beautiful architecture and an interesting background. No more, no less.


Dorm Room: 205

[Personality]


Angelika isn't seldom the one to cause any mischief or ruckus. In fact, she doesn't at all, nor attempts too. Complimenting her fragile demeanor, the blonde doesn't speak much, and keeps quiet in most situations. She isn't a people person, and spends most of her time alone or with the deceased. Though friendly, Angelika possesses a sort of honest streak, which may at times annoy others. She has a matter-of-fact tone, and feels the need to correct people when she thinks they're wrong or if feeling provoked or annoyed, she'll say so, not really aware of other people's emotions and attitudes. But, by no means will she intentionally say anything rude to anyone, to hurt their feelings. Despite these traits, this doesn't mean that Angelika doesn't find the need to make friends. She isn't the type of individual that would go up to someone and spark a conversation, but if she's approached first, she'll talk, and if she isn't awkward-ed out by you, then she'll continue it.

Her approach towards ghosts are a whole different story. In fact, the complete opposite. Contrary to popular belief, Angelika isn't afraid of ghost at all, and is very social with them. She loves hanging out with them and often runs off to them if she feels the need for some company. Angelika is more opened to ghosts, and without a doubt likes them way better than she does with humans. Compared to speaking with humans, it is as if a whole new leaf is turned and she's a new person. She's more bubbly with them, but the only downside there is, is that she does get possessive over her ghost friends, and would rather keep them to herself, than have other people find out about them.

[Thoughts on the Supernatural]


As mentioned before, Angelika likes them way more than she likes interacting with them. She forms relationships with them, tells them her thoughts, laughs with them. She finds it easier to communicate with them because she doesn't feel the need to have to reserve herself like she does with humans.
