[SRP] Ghost Town Sign-Up/ Disscussion

Postby Flannery » Sun Apr 04, 2010 4:49 pm

Ghost do indeed exist. A group of special human beings known as the Pures hold the balance of good and evil. There abilities to see the dead and mental powers make them a prime target for others to do evil. The Grandmaster and his followers of evil spirits have been wreaking havoc on the citizens of the town recently. His mayhem and destruction has caused numerous accident and deaths. Most of the citizens think it’s just accidents, not knowing the real influence of actions taking place. The pures and other ghost will have to either band together to stop the evil, or the citizens of the town will be in “grave” danger.

Pures- any human being who can see the. All human characters are pures. Pures can posses powerful energy, which makes them a prime target for other spirits to use them. Pures are like the child from the 6th sense. They can see the dead. Communicate with them, and guide them to where they need to go. A pure can also summon the dead to help them. Children between the ages of 1 and 12 are the purest of pures. They posses the most power of any living creature, but there ability to control there energy is little, unless they are some kind of prodigy. Pures also have spirit powers. Meaning they can attack with several basic energy and physic attacks to defend themselves aginced evil spirits. Energy balls, mental pushes, and force fields. They can also channel there energy threw a weapon. Like a sword, pistols, spear, arrows, or even boxing gloves to brass knuckles.

The dead - any spirits. Spirits themselves are the most powerful of all. How they use there ghost power can determine there class. A spirit can change there appearance. All ghost look exactly like the way they died. So a ghost who died in a fire, or car crash is no the prettiest thing to gaze at in the world. If they want to look like what they looked like before they died, they can change there appearance to something less frightening.

-A class one is simply and human that died and needs to be guided from purgatory to the great beyond, or hell depending on who gets to them first. Other ghost, and Pures all can communicate with them. They can be evil or friendly. They are by far the most common, and also the easiest to fight.

-Class 2, basically any spirit that has the powers of a pure. They are people who have died may years ago and still have not passed on, or were former pures themselves. They know they are dead, but can’t pass on for a verity of reasons. They have gained spirit power threw there interaction with others. They hold as much power as any pure and are not as easily persuaded to evil as a class one spirit. But if they are evil, they can prove themselves to be formidable opponent.

-class 3, a poltergeist. Poltergeist are rare. They have no solid form, but rather they have taken on the form of what they haunt and control all that is in it. They can be a playful friendly poltergeist who acts as more of a house sitter. Or they can make blood ooze from the walls, and throw furnisher across the room at you. They are mysterious, and not to be trifled with. Most are shy and often leave you alone. The only down side is once they lay claim to a house/mansion/garden shed, making them move is very hard. They can however attach themselves to a inanimate object, human, or pure. Often times if they do, they protect that individual, making them very powerful. If they are mean, they will use you as a puppet and drive you to insanity.

A class 4- The fallen - evil spirits. It’s suicide to take on a class 4 all by yourself. Even the most powerful and well experienced pure has one heck of a time taking on an evil spirit. More often than not, you will lose. So if a pure or other lower class sprite is to encounter one, they should take head and run. They have been corrupted by evil, and there demonic powers make them a danger to anyone. They can kill, and will. They can take on the from of a poltergeist, or be a solid form. They can also posses anyone. Pures, or a ghost and turn them agaiced you. They are not a playable character. They are more like bosses. When it comes to anybody dead or living, they will gladly use them as cannon fodder. So there is some neutral ground when it comes to pures and ghosts joining forces to destroy a Fallen.

Name: (if you are a human but have a class 3 ghost attached to you, give a nickname for them)
Age: (If dead put the date you died)
Class: (dead only put 1,2, or 3 all others N/A)
Description:
Bio:
Good/Evil:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Weapons: If character doesn’t use weapons, and only there mind, then put N/A.

(The class 4 bosses will be added soon.)

Here are a few of the enemies:

Grandmaster: His identity is also unknown. Nobody knows who he is, all that is known is that he is in control of all the class 4’s. The extent of his powers is also unknown. Lately he has been gathering ghost to create an unstoppable army. And the town will be the first to be destroyed. He is the root of all evil and he must be stopped.


The Bloody Knuckles gang.

A local gang of dead rapist, murders, and thugs. All are evil spirits who haunt the alleyways and junk yard at night. Most of which either died on the streets or in prison. They more or less serve as the frontline infantry if the class 4’s. They attack in great numbers which makes them a danger to any pure or ghost regardless of strength. They attack with a verity of weapons, chains, knives, baseball bats, 2x4’s, and metal pipes. In a one on one battle they are easily defeated and usually scatter when they know they are loosing. But depending on the size of the attacking group, a class 4 may be leading the pack. When confronting them, be sure to be mindful of an escape route.

Steve Turner

Considered the weakest of the class 4’s He Wears a tattered black leather jacket, blue jeans, and slick back blond hair. One side of his face is covered with blood and glass shards that are impeded into his skin. Steve was an up an coming baseball star with a ticket into the major leagues. However before he was drafted into the Major Leagues he died in a drag race in 1954. He was racing a Cadillac with his 32 Ford Coupe. The caddy ran him off the road and he crashed head-on into a phone pole. He was ejected from the vehicle, and killed instantly. Not long after his death the stretch of road that he died on became haunted by his 32 Ford Coupe with him behind the wheel. He would run almost any muscle car, tuner, or ricer off the road. And upon running them off the road, whiteness swore they see a teenager step out of the hot rod with a baseball bat and smash there windows and lights. To this day he is a drifter and goes from highway to highway challenging anyone. His two weapons are his vehicle and a baseball bat. He can also posses inanimate object like a family sedan and chase you down.

Günter

Günter is a rather special case. He not exactly a class 4 because as he has no physical form. He is a ventriloquist dummy. Günter’s origin is unknown, as is the owner. He was made in Germany, and was quite popular. His owner however was spiteful and rude when not performing. As the story goes he crossed paths with a gypsy who cursed him for his wick ways and that his soul would not be banished to hell but in the very thing he rooted his evil from, he would spend all eternity in the doll that he coveted.

I have a character idea in mind, but I want to run it by Flannery and Josie. Essentially, it is Jason Takaga's little sister, Mei Lin Tagaka. She was murdered at age 15 by one of the Bloody Knuckles gang because she was a secret Pure, with the ability to generate blasts, punches, and shields, so her spirit seeks vengenance against them and their leader, who killed her. She usually takes on the form of a Japanese/American school girl, either wearing her school uniform, or when in fighting mode, she wears a black top with black pants and shoes, the outfit she wore when she was killed. Once the Bloody Knuckles gang and their ring leader are dealt with, she can move on. Here is her bio.

Name: Mei Lin Takaga
Age: (at death, 15)
DOB: May 7, 1995
DOD: April 5, 2010
Aliases: Lin Chi (when she boxed in the Underground boxing tournament)
Accolades: In school - Academic All-American, Honor Society, 2010 Underground Boxing Federation Champion (First youngest female Champion, and last, in honor of her tragic death).
Race: Japanese/American
Gender: Female
Class: 2
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Mei Lin was about 5'7" and weighed about 125 pounds at the time of her death. She appears in her ghost form as a Japanese/American female, with blue eyes, and long black shoulder length hair. Often pinned back by two hair barets on either side in either her school girl mode or her Pure fighter mode, she has a look of sadness because she is dead and seeks guidance to the other side. She also has two other ghostly forms, her funeral outfit, a white blouse and black skirt, with black shoes, (often seen at her gravesite) and the black shirt and pants combo, sporting various bruises and two black eyes, busted lip, and multiple contusions (when the thugs beat her up). Her fighter form does not sport any bruises and wears a black mask over her eyes.
Base of Operations: Mei Lin haunts the Tagaka residence, and often talks to her brother via the phone or television. She prefers the Television medium, as she can be seen on the tv. No matter if you change the channel, she will be on the screen.
Bio/History: Mei Lin Takaga was born to Japanese/American parents. Like her brother, her father and grandfather were famous boxers. She moved into the Tagaka residence in America on the insistance of her mother to keep her from following in her famous father and grandfather's footsteps. There she secretly practiced her Pure powers, channeling them into her fists, under the guidance of someone who knew and trained her father and grandfather, both former Pures. This 3rd generation Pure ran afoul of the Bloody Knuckles gang, whom she was investigating for a series of "deaths" in the shady world of illegal underground "Fight Club" boxing, known as the Underground Boxing Federation, where two competitors enter a caged ring, and people bet money on the outcome. The winner advances to the next round, the loser ends up "eliminated" (ie killed off). She secretly entered the competition under her nom de guerre "Lin Chi". She wore black clothes and wore a mask to keep her identity a secret. That fateful night, she was offered money by one of the leaders of the Bloody Knuckles gang, who were running and rigging the fights, to fight their champion. She accepted, needing the money, and eliminated many of what the Bloody Knuckles gang threw at her, until the main event, where she had to fight a really big bruiser of a guy. The Bloody Knuckles gang used this tournament to study the new girl and wear her out for the main event, but "Lin Chi" defeated the Bloody Knuckles bruiser with her father's signature punch, the Chi Rocket Punch, an upper right hook, channeling her pure chi into her fist. After the battle, the young girl collected her pay, she found out she was cheated out of her guaranteed winnings by the promoter, who was one of the leaders of the Bloody Knuckles gang. She decked him with the Chi Rocket Punch and took all her winnings she was owed. She used the money wisely to help her mother and brother with the bills, and kept some of the money for herself.

A few days after her becoming the youngest UBF Champion, on April 2, 2010, Mei Lin was kidnapped and killed by the Bloody Knuckles gang after school, and within 24 hours after her kidnapping, her bruised and battered body was found by the police on a park bench, with a note bearing the insignia of the Bloody Knuckles gang. She was robbed and beaten by the gang members, led by the one known as "Bruiser", and those who had assaulted her were later convicted and sent to life in prison for assault and later murder. Mei Lin clung to life until April 5, when she died in the hospital. Some of these men who killed her died in prison, or were sentenced to death. The UBF was shut down permanetly, and Mei Lin Tagaka was officially recognized as its last champion under her nom de guerre, Lin Chi. The Championship belt was given to her family as a memorial to her bravery and her contributions to helping her family. Mei Lin still seeks justice for her murder, and needs help from a family member to help find her true killer before he is released on parole. She also wants them to remember her and the good times they shared in her short life before she crosses over with her deceased father and grandfather, who appear in their prime.

Mei Lin's body is buried near her father and her grandfather in a local cemetary. Her spirit was present at her funeral service and her burial, if those with the ability to see her, a la Ghost Whisperer. She seemed sad at all the people there, and heard the minister's euology. She even make an appearance at the trials of her murderers, often appearing in her battered near death form to her murderers, or her healthy form to her friends and family She wanted to reach out and comfort her friends and loved ones, but she was soon met by the deceased spirits of her granfather and father, who told her she needed to seek her brother and ask him to help her cross over.

Note: Mei Lin's case drew national attention on "Americas Most Wanted" shortly after her death, so if you remember that story on AMW, and can help her, contact the police and help find her murderers.

Weapons: Mei Lin used boxing gloves and when she was not fighting or investigating the Bloody Knuckles gang, she enjoyed painting and hanging out with her brother, and meeting new people. Sadly, being a ghost doesn't allow her to meet other living people, as normal people cannot see her, unless they could sense her presence or she makes herself "known" to them. If she makes herself "known" to others who can "see" her, she would talk to them about her cold case and try to convince them to help her. Her signature attack is the Chi Rocket Punch, which would be recognized by family members or friends who may have witnessed her defeat the thugs in the underground Fight Club.

Quotes: "Chi Rocket Punch!"
"How can you kill one which is already dead?" - Favorite taunt to the evil Bloody Knuckles gang members
"Please, remember me....remember all the good times we shared, brother? I saw you at my funeral....I wish I could have came over...and given you a warm hug, just to let you know I am here for you....oh, Father and Grandfather are going to help me cross over, and they ask that you help me keep my memory alive."
"Hello..." She appears in her casual clothes, in ghost form, if someone summons her...."My name is Mei Lin Tagaka...age 15...the Bloody Knuckles gang kidnapped and killed me over money I earned by participating in the Fight Club boxing tournament. I am sorry and feel so ashamed for trying to help my family with their financial problems."


Likes: Shopping, hanging out with friends, "Ghosting" through walls, solving the mystery of her death, solving other people's "deaths" and helping them cross over, talking with her brother. She has seen her deceased father and grandfather during her journey to the afterlife.
Dislikes: The Bloody Knuckles Gang, evil spirits.

Read the bio. I like it.

here are the rest of the class 4's:

Dominique
It is unknown who Dominique is, or where he came from. It is believed he was a judge during the witch craft trials. Condemning countless individuals to there deaths. Ironically he too was burned at the stake for being accused of the same practice. He has since then used his ghost powers to do evil. He the trusted lieutenant of the Grandmaster. He mansion has been abandon for years. Every attempt to restore the home has ended in failure. Working accident and deaths have turned away every private contractor in every surrounding state. Dominique wears a black cloak and traditional 17th century fashion. His hair is white and in the form of a wig.

Jumping Jack the Pyromaniac

Jack is a pyromaniac who was admitted to the local insane asylum in the 1920’s after he burned down half of the town. Going house to house and throwing a Molotov cocktails of kerosene in every window. He proved to be to dangerous to be allowed to interact with anyone other than a doctor. He was placed in a straightjacket and mask 24/7. After a fire broke out in the early 1930’s destroying the building, old Jack was forgotten and left in his room to burn alive. Fire and explosions are his calling cards. Mysterious gas leaks, faulty wiring, and arson all have been caused by him in the past 70 years. He even went as far as to burn down the fire department’s building 3 times, and tried the school once but failed. Jack has long black hair that is braded thanks to Lucy. He wears his trademark straight jacket, and white pants.


Little Lucy.

The most dangerous of the three class 4’s. Lucy is a young girl with one mean streak. Her father was a barber. It all started when a wealthy man was found dead at his home with his throat slit. More dead started to surface around the neighborhood. People with there throats slit by a razor. Before anyone could find anyone responsible Lucy’s family was found with there throats slit also. Everyone in town assumed that it was Lucy’s father who did it, although little Lucy body was never found. Everyone assumed little Lucy sufferer the same fate as the other victims. Nobody really knew that it was Lucy who was behind all the killings. Her weapon of choice is a razor.

BoBo the Clown.

The most tragic of the class 4’s. BoBo was the mascot of Funworld! The local amusement park. He was a happy go lucky guy with a love of children. Even in town when he wasn’t clowning around at the park, everyone knew and loved him. When Funworld was bought out by a rival company poor BoBo lost his job. He was fired with no pension, no benefits, not even one last pay check. They wouldn’t even rehire him to work the rides or even just pick-up trash! Disgruntled BoBo returned one night to exact revenge on the new owners. He loosened several bolts on a roller coaster track. The roller coaster flew off the tracks and into a crowd of people. The crash killed 16 people. BoBo was later found and trialed for his act. He was put to death. Not long after his death the park was closed down. His ghost however still haunts the now abandon park grounds. Only a fool would enter it. BoBo is exactly as any child would picture a ghost clown. Like Stephen King’s “It“.

Dr. Jonathan D. Franklin (Aka Dr. Frankenstein)

Dr. Franklin was a doctor at the mental insinuation from the 1890’s till the 1930’s. He use to be a pure, meaning before he became a doctor, he could see ghost. He had a bizarre obsession with the human sprite. He would carry out experimentation on living human beings to extract there souls and capture them. It is unknown exactly how many he killed in the process of his 40 years of medical practice. Dr. Franklin kept vast record of his findings, but when the fire broke out in the early 30’s destroying the entire building, all evidence were destroyed leaving no trace for anyone to fallow. Dr. Franklin himself after the fire disappeared without a trace as well. It was believed he was killed in the fire, but no remains have ever been found. He now spends his research to become alive again. He thinks pures are again the key to cheat death.


Mari

Perhaps the oldest of the class 4’s. She was a duchess during the 14th century with the obsession for eternal beauty. She was commented as being by far the most beautiful of any member royalty. But as she grew older, he face became more wrinkled and old. She found a strange cure for her skin. The blood of teenaged girl. Her guards would kidnap girls from the surrounding countryside for her wicked skin treatment. It did wash her of her wrinkles but she couldn’t escape her rapidly aging body. Before she would indulge in her blood bath she was stabbed threw the heart. The killer was never found, it was assumed to be of the kidnapped girls. When she was found in the morning she was commented as being just as beautiful in the living as she was in death. She targets teenaged girls who appear prettier than her. It is said she will come to kill you of you say her name 5 times in a mirror with 3 witnesses present.

Here is mine, re-edited

Name: Ellis Flannery
Age: 21
Class: N/A
Description: http://www.scifiscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/deadpool_wolverine.jpg
Likes: drinking, hanging with ghost, the 3 stooges, talking to strangers
dislikes: Bullies, dying, being alone, fighting

Bio: The son of a mortician, Ellis has been able to see ghost since he was a toddler. He discovered his spirit power at the age of 12. The ghost of his great grandfather was his teacher. Ellis has always been a bit of a loner, at the age of 18, he asked a ghost friend to do him a favor. On his back is a tattoo of the bible verse Psalms 23:4. he took on the family buissness and mostly works in the grave yard. Since then he has done his best to use his powers to the fullest. He often spends his time in the graveyard and chats with the dead. His attack and defence is very well matched. He however often charges head long into fights even when the odds our against him.

Weapons: Ellis uses a Japanese Katana as his weapon of choice. He channels his spirit power threw it to attack with devastating force.

Postby Haylie » Thu Apr 08, 2010 12:43 am

Name: Midori Hayashi
Age: Born in the early Muromachi Period, exact dates unknown; date of death, 1355
Class: 2
Description: This, only instead of the fuku, she's wearing what appears to be a cross between a kimono and samurai armor, flattering yet modest, colored darkish blue, with a picture of a rose partly circled by a sliver of moon on the chest, shoulders, and legs. Over the legs is a long skirt in a matching color, sporting the moon and rose. She has the traditional samurai block-like sandals that make no sound when she moves. She opts not to wear the conical straw hat.

Bio: (I care not for historical accuracy) She was the daughter of two noble samurai masters, though her mother was killed in battle before they got to know each other. She's the youngest of eight, and the only girl. She was the exact image of her mother, so the father favored her immediately and taught her to be a samurai as soon as she was old enough. She learned very quickly, and was soon willing and able to fight in a war. With her father nearby, of course.

She rode her favorite horse not far from her father, leading the main line of troops to a small town the enemy had attacked, intending to take it back quickly and return home. What neither of them knew was Midori's horse had been sabotaged prior to the battle, and when she went to charge with it, one of the shoes flew off, causing the horse to land crooked and her saddle strap--which was cut to a few threads--to snap, throwing her headfirst onto the ground, killing her on the spot.

She was so ashamed of herself, she felt she couldn't face her ancestors in Heaven, but she was too good-natured to put in Hell, so she chose to wander the earth as a spirit, growing ever stronger in her incorporeal nature until she could wield her great-great-great uncle's okatana, which he himself gave her when she grew tired of moping. She swore to avenge herself and her family--her father was also killed by the enemy shortly thereafter, since he and his men were horribly demoralized after seeing the girl die so quickly--and never leave the earth until she did so.

Still, she feels she isn't done, and she continues to rid the world of her murderer's descendent's whenever she finds them, but they are many and difficult to track. She will be here a while yet.

Alignment: Good.
Likes: Justice, a quick fight to the death, the irony of defeat at the hands of the dead, horses, a good book, and naturally, the color blue.
Dislikes: People asking about her name (it means "green". Her father was colorblind), murderers, blasphemers, and general stupidity.

Weapons: An okatana known as Rose Thorn. It's almost as long as Midori is tall, has a red hilt with a gold dragon snaking down it, a gold quarter-moon on the pommel, and a rounded cross guard that looks like a sunburst of blue and gold. The sheath is red like the hilt with a gold nub on the end, but otherwise without decoration.



I'd appreciate slow-ish posting so I can keep up. I have a busy schedual. Thanks. :mrgreen:

Meh, why not, I've been meaning to join some more RPs anyway.

Name: Michiyo Kuninobu
Age: Died at age 14. June 5, 1880
Class: 2
Description: Image
Bio: A girl that belonged to a rich family. She developed an illness and could barely even walk outside without fainting. She spent most of her time indoors, eventually learning how to play several musical instruments. She once dreamt of performing in front of an audience, and not even death and passing years have gotten rid of that goal. She eventually died because of her illness.
Good/Evil: Good
Likes: She's learned to enjoy all types of music. She likes talking to people, as she never really got the chance to go out and make friends because of her illness.
Dislikes: Although she's getting over it, she doesn't enjoy going outside after what her illness did to her.
Weapons: Her constant hanging around of instruments gave her the "ability" to make really loud, annoying noises depending on what she can use as an instrument (example: The floor/walls make "good temporary drums" to her). She's also been known to carry around a violin when she does go outside, whether or not she's just using it as a weapon or to find someone to play music for is debatable.
Do as I say, but not as I do.
It's perfectly safe, so keep going.
Follow me close, but not too close.

Postby Gee-chan » Fri Apr 09, 2010 7:53 am

this sounds really interesting, so lets give it a try.

Name: Unknown (has been named Black Cat, then later Tom...as a sort of pun. Because of this name, I shall refer to him as male for this, but that can change depending on the form he takes)

Date of birth: 1st June, 1991
Age at death: 17
Died 1st June, 2008 (yep, death as a birthday present)
Cause of death: Unknown. Jokingly he states it was most likely a falling object....although is is quite likely

Class: Somewhere between 2 and 3

Allignment: Good-ish, but tends to get mistaken for bad.

Appearance: Is usually shapeless but can take human form (and, on occasion, a black cat form....although this may just be a joke on the names given to him). This form varies but the male forms seem to be more similar to each other than the female ones....which may be some sort of recollection of his life

Bio: It is not really clear what class Tom is. He seems to span the border between 2 and 3 by not having a consistent solid form like a poltergeist but has not 'settled down' in a specific place, instead wandering around as though in search of something.
Tom seems to have been particularly unlucky during life (which may well have been the end of him) as well as particularly forgetful (that or something happened to make him loose much of his memory at the time of death). This can be seen by the fact that 1: he can't even remember his own true name (he thinks...) and 2: bad things have a tendency of happening to people when he is around.
Because of this he tries to avoid people, not so much out of guilt, but more so as not to get blamed for things.
Even so, on occasion someone will catch his attention (they either seem to remind him of something he has forgotten, or they just piss him off....the latter tend to be bullies...) and he will be compelled to follow them around and sometimes try to make contact. Unfortunately, whenever he does this, bad luck follows them like a cloud (or more accurately, a ghost) and drive him to leave out of fear of getting in significant trouble...unless they happen to be one of those who piss him off, in which case he will follow them and observe their misfortune until he is satisfied.
Another interesting thing to note is that cats seem to like him, which has led to him being associated with the black cat superstition. A tell-tale sign that Tom may be following a person is that all of a sudden cats seem very interested in them while dogs suddenly become highly suspicious.
It is because of the way he seems to accidentally generate misfortune that most people consider him to be a malignant spirit, but that is not the case (unless he decides he doesn't like someone).

As far as other ghosts are concerned, Tom has had very little sustained contact. He once met the ghost of a little girl who he made friends with but she soon crossed over. Tom has come across the Blood Knuckles on a couple of occasions but has always run away rather than risk getting into a confrontation. Upon thinking about this, he has noted that he seems to have an aversion to violence/danger.

Likes: Children, music, things that remind him of his past, cats
Dislikes: getting into trouble, violence, bullies, dogs

Weapons: Tom doesn't seem to have any weapons on hand, but would probably use the environment and plain misfortune as a weapon if actually in combat.

Hey, that gives you, like, an important status in the RP, right?
Surely being the "odd one out" has it's uses. XD
Do as I say, but not as I do.
It's perfectly safe, so keep going.
Follow me close, but not too close.

Sorry...I couldn't think of anything decent for a living character and I don't like making run-of-the-mill characters for RPs.....too boring...

I'm looking for a picture for Mei Lin Takaga. Either as alive or as a ghost. She is Josie's character's younger sister, who was recently murdered by the Bloody Knuckles Gang. The man who killed her was called "Bruiser." I'm not sure how Jason would deal with Mei Lin's ghost floating around the house, and inviting other ghost friends she meets to her place. Well, I hope we can get some more "live" people in here. Flannery, looks like you have the neccessary people for your rp.

Yes, it's okay, Gee-chan. I read your character's profile..interesting.....

Oh, about that Dr. Frankenstein guy or the other evil ghosts....would Mei Lin or the other spirits she meets have general knowledge of them, or will they have to encounter them on their journeys. Mei Lin is considered a "Neophyte" compared to the the ghost characters who have lived centuries before her. I wonder if Dr Franklin would be able to capture some of these ghosts like Mei Lin and do some experiments to bring her back to life, or something?

Name: Michael Benson and Faust

Age: 17

Class: N/A

Description: Image

Bio:Michael was born to absolutely average parents, and lived an absolutelt normal life until he was about 5, when he began seeing things that others couldn't. He became friends with a spirit who was living in the basement of his home. The ghost, whom introduced himself to the child as Faust, seemed glad to have someone to talk to, and quickly took a liking to him. Of course, the fact that Michael was seemingly having conversations with himself did not escape the notice of his parents, and when it didn't stop by the time he was 7, they began seeking professional help. Michael spent five years going to a number of psychiatrists, all of whom had a range of diagnoses ranging from dementia to schizophrenia. Finally, after many failed attempts to cure their son, Michaels parents decided to move out of their home, hoping that removing the boy from the house would stop his talk of haunting.

Faust, who didn't want to lose his only friend in some time, decided to attach himself to Michael and tag along. And for his part, Michael was smart enough to not bring up Faust's presence to his parents. Since the move, however, Michael has seen quite a few more ghosts, and some are definitely not as friendly as Faust is. He mostly keeps to himself in school, as he fears that word of his ability may leak out. He has also developed a bit of contempt for authority figures, due to the fact that he was constantly being scolded by them throughout most of his adolesence.

Good/Evil: Good, though more chaotic.

Likes: Quiet, Faust, and being able to do as he pleases.

Dislikes: School, doctors (specifically psychiatrists), annoying people.

Weapons: Tends to use a baseball bat in combat now, though he's open to using whatever he can.
