Plot
It's finally summer and you're done with college until the fall. Your friend's older brother just bought an old mansion house and renovated it. You and your friends were invited to stay in this house, fully furnished for the week. The brother has supplied you with food for the week but mentioned vaguely about the past of the house. It is said to be haunted so the house was set up with cameras and you were given cameras to document your experience. Can you survive the week in a haunted mansion?
Setting
Interiour 1 One of the bedroom mirrors now restored Exterior. The driveway has been paved and there is a big tree out front with a wooden swing on it. The house was built between the late 1800's and early 1900's. The earliest records of someone living in the house was from the 1940's. A wealthy banker owned it with his wife and children before one of the children died of typhoid. The family moved out before the next family moved in five years later.
A young starlet moved in with her boyfriend at the time. There were rumors that the relationship was rocky from the start. Various sources had seen the two fighting at parties and heard yelling from outside the house. Tragically after being in the house for a few years the Starlet was found by her boyfriend in the attic. She had hung herself on one of the rafters. The house was put up for sale once more.
Though there are more than just these two spirits in the house. Some of the visitors of the abandoned house said that there was a shadowy man in the basement. This could be a previous owner from the late 1800's but no one knows for sure.
The house has three floors (Not including the attic or basement). There is an inground pool in the backyard that was put in when the starlet bought it. in total there are about 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. The house was recently bought 2014 to be turned into a bed and breakfast.

((This looks like loads of fun. May we play ghosts as well as human visitors?))
I agree with it would be way fun to play as a ghost
-Disease you guys can most certainly play ghosts! And I would like if you guys could start with two but if you just want to do one that's fine! I'll probably add another female and male if need be

A Horns & Roses fan!
Hey there! ^-^
May I join? I've come up with a ghost and a living character. :3
Skeletons
Ghost
Name: Rosalie Mathis
Age: 23 (technically 136, but ghosts don't really age.)
Major: N/A
Sexual preference: Straight
Bio: Rosalie was born in 1878, and had one older sister named Margaret. Her father was a lawyer, so her family was well off, but not fabulously wealthy. Her parents purchased the mansion in 1899, when she was 21 years old. Two years later, she became engaged to a doctor. She unfortunately came down with pneumonia not long after their engagement. Despite her fiance's best efforts, as well as a few other doctors, she could not be saved and passed away from her illness. Her spirit now haunts the mansion, unable to rest because she is heartbroken and lonely.
Personality: Rosalie is polite and demure, a true lady of her time period. She has a heart of gold and would never purposely hurt anyone. However, she is a bit clumsy and tends to knock things over, which always frightens people who are exploring the home. Rosalie does have a strong curiosity though and often watches any people who are in the home and follows them around from a safe distance.
Appearance: Rosalie
Love interest: None (Do ghosts even get to have love interests? lol)
Other: She tries to hold them back, but sometimes she still has coughing fits, caused by her pneumonia. If someone hears a disembodied cough in the house, it likely means Rosalie is nearby.
Name: Tracy Pines Age: 22 Major: Art History Sexual preference: Bisexual Bio: Tracy is an only child who lived a relatively solitary childhood. She never had many friends growing up, so she became very reserved. However, she opened up considerably once she got to college and is now one of the most outgoing people on campus. She chose to study Art History because she is fascinated by the past and has a passion for art. Once she graduates, she hopes to be a museum tour guide. Personality: Tracy is friendly, adventurous, and intelligent. She knows quite a few random historical facts due to her major. Despite becoming a social butterfly in recent years, she still has trouble with self confidence sometimes and often doubts herself and her ideas. She doesn't get scared very easily, but complete darkness makes her panic. Appearance: Tracy Love interest: None Other: N/A
I have a question for everyone. I tend to have a mouth on me in my roleplays, like...cursing. Is anyone here /sensitive/ to that or should we just go by the Subeta PG-13 rules (cursing but not over the top).
So here is my first character, Im going to post a human one tomorrow:
Ghost character
Name: Jenocta Charhart
Age: Was 26 when he died
Major: Was an astronomer
Sexual preference: Pansexual
Bio: Jenocta was, what some people would say, a disturbed man. He was born and raised in an abusive and manipulative cult. When he escaped at 16 to go to school for his desired career, to work for NASA, a friend of his allowed him to use a hidden lab underground. It was said that the lab was "haunted" or possessed. Either one, it drove him even madder. So mad that he ended up killing his boyfriend of 3 years when he lost his mind. This drove him to deep sadness as he continuously thought of suicide but was never able to do it. A few months later he was diagnosed with cancer and died a slow lonely death within the lab. When he came back as a ghost, he decided to wander the earth in search for the soul of his dead boyfriend. He has stayed in numerous houses, castles and haunted places around the world to seek company from other spirits.
Personality: He comes off at different times as rude, snarky, flirty, big headed, sarcastic, and someone who just doesn't give a f*** what anyone else thinks and disregards everyone's feelings. Though when he meets someone he likes, is similar to him, or someone he sympathizes with he is rather friendly, caring, and understanding.
Appearance: He's the taller guy, his bf is the short one
Love interest: Jester Holle was the name of his lover
Other:
((I'll go ahead and snag the starlet in the attic, if that's okay @ tmanosaur.))Little Starlet Ghostie
Name: Annabelle Glasgow
Age: 21 (when she died, of course. She has no idea how old she is now.)
Sexual Preference: Straight
Bio: Annabelle grew up in a wealthy family, surrounded by people involved in show business. Her looks granted her enough attention that by the time she was sixteen, she was making movies. Anna had an aura of gloom about her that charmed those who met her. She was the perfect star, aloof and melancholy. Of course, no one at the time knew that such a temperament was actually linked to acute bipolar disorder. Her unhappiness made her famous, and she starred in three movies by the time she was twenty. She met her boyfriend on the set of her last movie; he was one of her camera men. He didn't understand her mood swings and tried to control her, which led to many heated and often violent fights between them. Eventually the disorder drove her to suicide, dangling from the rafters of the attic.
Personality: Annabelle mostly stays in the attic, brooding and moping. Death has brought her no peace from the chaos that plagues her mind, and at night she sometimes cries so loudly that she can awaken sleepers on the top floor. She blames her boyfriend for her continued unhappiness, and tends to mistrust the living, keeping to herself as much as possible.
Appearance: One, two, three.
Love Interest: None
Other: None
Yes please! Of course! -Disease I don't mind about swearing~ I swear like a sailor and that's totally fine! I'll probably snag the basement ghost muahha

Here he is
Revon
Name: Revon "Beelze" Leif
Age: 22
Major: Programs designer
Sexual preference: Asexual
Bio: Currently a programmer-for-hire, he never really had a real job. Sure, he had part-time jobs here and there, but he always came back to programming. He lives in a good-conditioned apartment, sharing rent with his older sister. At the age of 17 his parents died, both due to lung cancer. He once had a girlfriend that helped him since his parents' died, but after three years of being in the relationship, she died from a car accident on a highway after they had a heated argument over him not being able to get a "Real job".
Personality: Usually calm, almost to the point of emotionless. He tries to keep to himself, but if he opens up to someone he is really a kind and sweet-hearted being, though this is a rare case. He is also very sarcastic around people he doesn't like, and is a stickler to his attitude on people, which means if he has a view on someone's personality as bad, it's gonna stay bad, unless they can manage to somehow change his mind.
Appearance: Revon has slightly messy, black hair, and he stands at 5'9". He has emerald green eyes, a lithe body shape, and has slightly pale skin. He has a clean-shaven face, with no stubble showing (Unless you look close enough, of course)
Love interest: (Formerly) Tecira Riel
Other: He usually carries his phone with him.
A Horns & Roses fan!
Apologies if this has pinged anyone! I'm gonna play one of the kids. Also, since ghosts are here and all do you think Felicity would be able to see them/be more sensitive to them? It's genetic and runs through the females in the family if this is acceptable. If not, I have the backup thing in her skeleton too.
(New character as I'm experimenting with new characters.)
My Character
Name: Felicity Bird
Age: 22
Major: Archaeology
Sexual preference: Graysexual
Romantic Preference: Biromantic
Bio: The only child in a wealthy family, Felicity's mother died when she was young. Her father was still around, but he had to work a lot so Felicity spent a lot of time with her Grandmother, who would tell her stories about history and ghost tales. Felicity was close to her grandmother. Felicity would have a lot of interest in history as she grew older and she did brilliantly in school, partly due to the extra help she got with tutors and part time courses before college. After getting into the Archaeology major Felicity also started taking up part time work in a book store. She has always been pretty distant with her father, something her father isn't too happy with, especially once she moved out. He still sends her money, though.
Personality: Felicity is friendly, but doesn't go out of her way to chase anyone. She is rebellious and impulsive, and doesn't have a lot of patience for anything outside of her major. She can be confident, but her self esteem isn't the highest and she's pretty much forever on a 'diet' because of this. She is very independant and seems standoffish, but she is also a very loyal friend who will lend an ear or two. She is a good friend and puts the needs of her friend over her own, even though it's hard to bond with them at first. It is pretty much impossible to scare Felicity unless they're deliberately trying really hard as she's had experience with 'ghosts' before, real or fake, but she wouldn't consider herself experienced.
Appearance: Picture. She has grey eyes and tends to wear pretty conservative clothing - usually a jumper (or sweater, whatever you call them) and jeans over a white tshirt.
Love interest: None.
Other: Has a fair few secrets. Was diagnosed with psychosis as a child after her father caught her talking to 'ghosts' a few too many times. Not to say that she wasn't actually hallucinating, because she was most of the time with ghostly encounters. She keeps this a secret as to this day she's sure they were real, though the secret managed to get out back in high school and ruined her reputation. This is why she deliberately moved to another place for college - to start fresh somewhere that nobody would know her secrets.
OOC: Both are awesome! And I don't mind about the ghost abilities. I love mixing things up. Hopefully we'll start tonight. If not then tomorrow! :D

Hi! Hi! Faye is alive! As am I! And I would love to rejoin with her and her crush on Maxy :3
Add me on 3DS! My friend code is; 5472-7791-7278 I need more friends for Friend Safari in Pokemon Y! PM me with your code so I can add back!
OOC: Yes! and soon! Sorry I've been busy with work and school! I'll type up a better intro tonight at break! [edit]
((So we are going to start tonight! I'll edit this post with the intro. Also with the bedding situation, there is four rooms with king sized beds and the other four are two twin sized beds))
The Bed and Breakfast was closed for the week as it was the trial week of the house. There wasn't any staff as Max wanted to cook for his friends. The house was restored along with replacement for furniture that was beyond repair along with some modern furniture put in. The house had a staircase in the front hall where a ledger was for the guests to sign in.
A sound of a camera shutter startled Max. "What the hell Chandler?" Max looked to his sister as he put a hand over his heart. "Sorry Maxy~" Chandler smiled sheepishly. "Why don't you go get the extra sheets in the basement?" Max asked his sister as he was making sure the living room was all nice and neat. "No way. The basement gives me the creeps." Chandler shudder as she went over to the record player and put in a Frank Sinatra record. "There is nothing down there." Max said to his sister.
Max made sure to tell his friends about the vague history. Cameras were set up and were already recording. In the front hall there was a box of personal camcorders. He got the idea from a show Chandler mentioned in a conversation. It would be good to see what needed to be done about the undead residents but Max didn't believe in ghosts that much anyway. There was a place in the shed that was a sort of 'base camp' for any evidence to be reviewed. Now all that needed to happen was the guests to arrive. He made sure that the attic was closed off as it was storage for some of the untouched and unused furniture and papers about the house.
Chandler continued to snap photos by going outside then upstairs to the balcony. She had to stop for the moment as she enjoyed the view. Chandler decided to hide out up here and take pictures of the cars arriving. Only because she didn't want to go into the basement. That was one place that she didn't liked going down in. Ever since she went down there to take pictures before it was fixed up she got the feeling that she was being watched. It would be only moments for her friends to arrive.

[Spoiler=Faye Rossi] Name: Faye Rossi Age: 24 Major: Wildlife Conservation/Ecology Sexual preference: Bi-Sexual/Curious Bio: Currently a waitress at a local bar, Faye has always pulled everything together to make it on her own. She got her high school diploma and switched from job to job, sometimes having more than one at one time just to support herself. She moved out of her house at the age of 17 and roomed with some friends, never looking back at the wreck of the life she had lived before with her drunk mom and nonexistant father. She's had to work for every penny she's had and use scholarship after scholarship just to pay for college. She's always had a passion for animals and exotic places, making her want to be a conservationist for endangered animals, and save a bunch of their precious lives.nPersonality: Faye is a sweet, endearing girl who loves to be with her friends. She's very calm and level headed, and really good with giving love advice. She's pretty open with being attracted to both males and females, figuring if people can't accept that she shouldn't associate with them. Really, Faye just wants people to accept her for who she is. Appearance: The Book Of Love Is Long and Boring Love interest: Little bit of a crush on Max~ (okay, a lot of a crush, she's infatuated) Other: She has a serious sweet tooth and is nearly always carrying lollipops [/spoiler] (Great! I'm gonna use my previous intro w/ some edits)
Faye awoke with a start, tangled in the sheets of her bed, a pillow clutched in her fingers as she jolted upright and ripped herself from sleep. She felt like she couldn't breathe for a minute, dropping her head to rest in between her knees and sighing. The nightmares- they made it hard to sleep. It was no doubt. They were brought on by the fact that she and her friends were meant to stay in this bed and breakfast that Max had that was supposedly haunted. She had agreed to go- but only because she knew it meant a lot to Max, and she didn't want to disappoint any of her friends by not showing up. Groaning and rubbing the sleep from her caramel eyes, she practically threw herself out of bed and forced herself to push through the sleep and dress.
Her snow white little puff ball of a kitten slept soundly at the foot of her bed, and Faye gave a gentle smile, scratching him behind the ears and the scooping him up in her arms. Beelzebub purred in delight, but that turned into a mewl of pleading and distaste once he saw the baby blue cat carrier. She gently scooted him in there, where he curled up on the blanket she had folded to fit in the carrier and closed the cage door. Her bags were already packed, and her little purse carried nothing but lollipops- watermelon, apple, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, but no grape- it was the one flavor she couldn't stand. She took out a strawberry one from her stash, popped it in her mouth, and loaded her tiny little silver Prius.
Not too much longer she had pulled up to the large building, feeling her skin crawl at the pure spookiness that radiated off of the building. She managed to collect all her bags and stumble up the front steps, bursting in the door and peeking out from behind her stack of bags. "Hi!" She chirped, muffled by the things in her face and the lollipop sticking out of her mouth. She managed to let down all her bags and put Beelzebub's cage down. "Phew. This place is HUGE." She said, glancing at the ceiling and turning in a circle to look around the room. "I'm gonna end up getting dizzy." Faye said with a laugh, walking over to Max to duck into his arms for a quick hug. Her wide eyes looked up, up, up at the taller male through her thick lashes. "It looks great though Max. It really does."
Almost in the same motion, she pulled away and pulled her lollipop from her lips. "Where's Chandler anyway? I really haven't seen you guys in- well a few months." Faye laughed. She had been away on a trip to see the endangered species out in Australia, as a job opportunity and to get a real feel on what being a wildlife conservationist was about. She had lived with about 3 wallabies (they had named them Huey, Dewey, and Louie since they were triplets), a sweet brush tailed rat kangaroo named Pip. There were so many animals and she would've stayed there forever if she could've, but she would've missed her friends and Beelzebub and her home.
She undid Beelzebub's cage and let him out, the cat darting upstairs and getting the hell out of there. "Sorry, he hates being in his cage..." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled sheepishly. "So, ah, what's the room arrangement?" Faye nudged him playfully. "Do I get to have you protect me from the big bad ghost?" She was only kidding though, and made sure he knew that, just so he didn't get freaked out. But the playfulness behind her tone and the twinkle in her eye might have suggested flirting.
Add me on 3DS! My friend code is; 5472-7791-7278 I need more friends for Friend Safari in Pokemon Y! PM me with your code so I can add back!
((Sorry I didn't realize we had started! haha I'll post my intro sometime tomorrow, hopefully. ^-^))
((My posts are going to be rather short, almost perifery. Annabelle is just a /little/ antisocial.))
That boy had set up cameras all over her room. Ugh.
Annabelle flung herself onto one of the discarded couches that had been left in the attic, pushed aside where no one wanted it, just like her. That's why she belonged here in the attic. No one wanted her. They didn't even know she was there. She sighed. It wasn't their fault, poor dears. But what on earth were the cameras for? Was he looking for her?
The blonde looked up at the little electronic eyes watching her. She was used to cameras following her around, but these were not paparazzi devotees, these were almost like /security/ cameras. As if she were a liability. An intruder. Hah. She had been here first.
Beelze's eyes opened lazily, no covers on, his arms spread across his bed. "Ugh..." he said to himself, or rather, grunted. He slowly slid his legs out of bed, and sat in upright position. He held his head from getting dizzy by getting up too fast. He looked at his phone. Still morning. "Good... I guess I won't be late to go to that mansion Max invited me to." He stood up , stretched and went to take a shower. As he was in the shower he thought about what Max had said, about the house being haunted. "Tch, that's probably a load of craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!" The water ran cold. He got out, got dressed, and went to eat breakfast. After he was done eating his breakfast he began to pack his things.
"Toothbrush and toothpaste... check... Snacks... check... Extra clothes... check... sleeping pants... check." He went over his list of his things until he came to his phone, "Phone... phone...? Crap." He started searching everywhere in his house for it, until he checked his pockets. "God dang it, why didn't I check there in the first place?!" He facepalmed, "Whatever, I think that's everything." He picked up his travel bag and headed downstairs. "Okay, bye house, I'll see you in a week." He told his house, as if it was a person. Beelze placed his bag in the trunk of his car, got in, and headed to the address he was given by max. "The house number is 1666, huh? Not ominous or foreshadowing at all." He told himself as he looked at the note he wrote down to remember the address.
When he arrived outside he slightly gawked at the enormous building in front of him. "I knew the mansion would be big, but not this big...!" Beelze re-collected himself, "That's what I get for never seeing an actual mansion before." He sighed and took a picture of the front of the house. He began to explore the outside. Shrubbery art, looking to be cut too human-like. "Well, onward, inside." He told himself. His eyes slightly widened at seeing the interior. It's bigger on the inside... He thought to himself, scanning the room.
His eyes layed upon Faye attempting to flirt with Max. The edge of Beelze's mouth slightly twisted into a smirk. "Flirting again I see, Faye." He said, raising an eyebrow. He started to scan the inside of the mansion. High stone ceilings, wood flooring, and the like. "Where's Chandler?" He asked, noticing the girl was missing from the room.
