A Night at Grey's Hollow; a horror RP OOC ( )

The year is 1905. Multi -millionaire J.T. Parker had just married the woman of his dreams at age 50, even though she, Helena, was only twenty -five. As a present to his new bride, he ordered the construction of a large, beautiful mansion in a secluded part of Gloucestershire, England.

Even before the house was built, the construction site was plagued with odd deaths. Three men were killed by a runaway bulldozer; one man was crushed when a supporting beam collapsed; another was beheaded by a pane of glass whilst installing the window. And yet, the Parkers were unfazed. They traveled around the world on an extravagant honeymoon, during which Helena contracted a wasting plague whilst threatened her life until a tribal medicine woman known only as 'Clara' (a name given to her by Helena) nursed her back to health.

The Parkers returned from their extended honeymoon along with Clara who had become Helena's companion, and had refused to leave her side, in June of 1906 to move into their dream home; Grey's Hollow. All was well, and their first year passed without incident, Helena gave birth to twin boys, Thomas and Jonathan. In 1907, She again bore twins, girls Amanda and Mary Beth. Mary Beth died shortly after birth, and Amanda was paralyzed on the left side of her body.

This double tragedy seemed to drive Helena insane, and she blamed her husband's infidelity. She became interested in the occult, and being in a fragile state of mind, was led to believe that as long as the house was under construction, she would live. At first, it was just minor alterations, changing a colour here, adding a small extension there, but after the disappearance of Amanda in 1914, they became more and more elaborate. Rooms would be built to look upside down, hallways with fake doors or leading to nothing at all... and even stranger things would be commissioned by her twisted mind. And then, in 1940, she too disappeared. However, the house continued to grow. It would change shape on it's own, and two years after his wife's disappearance, J.T. Parker hung himself, leaving his sons in the care of an American aunt.

The house is said to be haunted by the ghosts of all who died there, many have tried to document this phenomena, none have returned. And yet, in 2008 a group so called mediums have been gathered together by a mysterious billionaire known only has Mr Cost offering them each £100,000 for solid proof of the goings on at Grey's Hollow.

~Profiles~

Name:

Age:

Occupation: basically your day job.

Appearance: Description or an image

Bio/ Personality (optional): (tell us a bit about your character)

Powers: (what kind of psychic ability do you have? if at all?)


Rules:
The basic rules apply:

Do not Godmod.

Do not kill another character. Your character may die, but you can't kill people.

Try to be literate. I think that's fairly obvious.

Swear is ok, but some thing along the lines of "Fuck you, you fucking fuck!" is not.


My Profile:

Name: Rozz Porter

Age: 27

Appearance: Rozz

Occupation: Salesman

Bio: Rozz discovered he could commune with the dead at age five when he would talk to his departed grandparents, without even realising they were dead. Since then, he's read many books on the subject; fine tuning it and he boasts the he can contact any of the dead, anywhere. He decided that the £100,000 would be easy pickings, and doubts the house would prove much of a challenge.

Powers: He calls himself a bridge between the world of the dead and that of the living, he can summon the spirits of the departed.

OOC: I hope we're allowed to post our profiles here! If not, I'll delete it. : P

Name: Rain Bow [Rainbow! :]

Age: Twenty [20]

Occupation: Clerk at a cutesy clothing store, explaining her adorable wardrobe!

Appearance: it's a doll i made. shut up. xD

Bio/Personality: Her parents were two eccentric people who had been hippies in their youth, explaining her name. Influenced completely by her parents, Rainbow's always been a nice, chill kinda person, though she pays for her niceness by her utter denseness. Rainbow had a nice childhood, and always kept in touch with her parents, even after moving out on her own into the world. She decided to help out the enigmatic Mr. Cost only for the fun of it, not for the money.

Powers: Rainbow's caring nature is only explained by her power of empathy. She can always feel what someone else is feeling, and if it's intense, she begins to feel it as well. For instance, if someone is weeping in sadness near her, it can overcome her normally cool vibe and make her break down into tears as well!


EDIT: LOL I just realized this was in the OOC thread, so durr I'd be allowed to post my profile, right?

John McClane: Oh, so I have an admirer? Why doesn't he just send me a bouquet?
Officer... Lorenzo?: Yeah, everyone knows you really like pansies.

Oooh, thanks for telling me. Sorry!

I'll do that from now on. I like the HR effect anyway, so it won't be too much of a sacrifice.

Oooh I want in!!

Name: Kira Walker

Age: 18

Occupation: Aspiring musician, and whatever she can manage

Appearance: Dark, ash blonde hair that falls in straight, slightly choppy strands down to her shoulders, with bands brushing near her eyes. A few dark crimson streaks accent it, but not many. Her skin tone is about average, though slightly on the pale side. Her eyes are a bright, fiery blue, and she's a little bit on the short side, standing at about 5' 3". Her lifestyle has led to her body being well toned; she has a slender build, and weighs in at about 115 lbs. Her average outfits normally consist of somewhat scrappy clothing; plain, normally dark-coloured well fitting t-shirts and tank-tops, and worn out, torn up denim jeans and shorts. The only footwear she owns is a pair of worn-out combat boots that clearly weren't made for her, but still fit her surprisingly well. Aside from that, she has a belt that she wears around her waist which contains many small compartments, which hold all of her basic utilities and the weapons she can fit. The majority of the weapons she carries on her person are hidden from view. She has a tattoo of her shoulder blades of butterfly wings; they're coloured black and white.

Bio/ Personality: There isn't a whole lot to say here. Kira's been orphaned for four years now, her parents both killed in a drunk driving incident. Since she had no remaining living relatives, she basically raised herself, taking odd jobs where she could find them and sleeping wherever there was an available bed. She's been aware of her minor psychic abilities since she was about sixteen. This is what originally got her interested in the concept of "ghosts" and other supernatural phenomena. As she learned more about it, she began taking on different small jobs she heard about, some legit, some not, with a very high success rate. When she heard about the Grey's Hollow case, she decided she definitely had to give it a shot.

Powers: She's a medium of sorts. She can let spirits in and out of her body without causing any harm to herself, to an extent. If they stay in too long or are too strong for her to be able to restrain mentally, then issues can arise. She can do this because her mind is "tapped in", in a sense, to the spiritual; this allows her to also be able to form some minor communications with the spirits.
No, I'm not the girl your mother warned you about.

Her imagination was never this good. <33

:: Y'all heard about Mary-Jane?
She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright;
She makes my heart sing. ::

Make cookies, not war!

That's right sir >.> Cookies could solve each and every problem of the world if used properly, I'm convinced.

Grr this sucks... I'm waiting on three different people to respond in my zmobie RP, and none of them have for days. x_x

I fear I've been abandoned.

Cookies = Better way of peacemaking than boring conferences that irritate most.

Oh dear.

RPs abruptly stopping sucks. I'd bring you out of your misery, except I'm not really good at zombie role-plays, so I'd bore both of us.

I looove zombie roleplays. I've been a zombie like, addict, the past few weeks... then my Resident Evil game didn't want to work because my PS2 is crapping out and I was like CRAPS. ><;;

I'll be sending them PMs in the next few days, cause one of my rules is that if you don't post for a certain amount of time without an alibi then you gotta get kicked. Hopefully that won't be happening ;_;
