I am peaceful, I am strong
Though dark may seem so long
For day must follow every night
And everything is alright.
I am always safe from harm
The Goddess holds me in her arms


Lightning striked and thunder rumbled as torrential sheets of rain hammered down on the small town. A car pulled oup outside a recently renovated two story home, and a pile of four fell out of the door, clutching bags and running for the shelter of the veranda, having already said goodbye to those remaining in the car. As the first set of feet made contact with the wooden veranda and met shelter from the rain, the door swung open to reveal a beaming young girl, who laughed at the drenched stated of her friends.

Always the good host, she assisted each of the four guests with shredding their damp top layers and pushed them towards the lounge room where a hearty fire roared, filling the house with warmth. For a while, the five friends stood and sat around the fire, drying off as they laughed and talked as if they hadn’t seen each other in weeks, even though it hadn’t even been a day since they had gotten together.

Almost too soon, a small helping of dinner was set out for the five of them, and they hurried to scrape their plates clean and collect the snacks. Then, they settled down in front of the tea to watch the latest horror movie.

Bad idea, considering what they planned to do afterwards

Two hours later, rather frightened and full of junk food, they turned off the T.V and downstairs lights, and made their way up to the second floor. While two of the friends went about setting up, a few of the others worked up the courage to go into the bathroom leading off from the hostess’s room to change into their pajamas. By the time they returned, the Ouija board was set up and waiting.

It was obvious a few members of the group were frightened, but the eldest – the hostess – laughed off their fear, and so they began. It was something they would all regret doing ‘till they forgot about it.

Half an hour to forty-five minutes after beginning the Ouija board, things began to get out of hands. After receiving messages, strange noises were heard in the attic, and the storm outside seemed to get even fiercer. Another rumble of thunder and a strike of lightning in the yard outside the bedroom window were all it took to have all five friends screaming [though briefly] and scrambling for the bed against the wall. The Ouija board was tossed in the process, and the friends huddled together on the bed, white as a sheet and scared out of their minds.

They stayed like this for the rest of the night, clutching at each other, one of them occasionally muttering the agreed prayer of protection. The candles, having been blown out in the process of the Ouija board were forgotten, the light turned on and rock and pop songs were played on the stereo to try and ease the friends fright. Each of them between 12 and 13 years of age when they experienced their first encounter with the paranormal.

That was six years ago – and only now is the past coming back to haunt them. Only instead of just their own past, they experience the past of someone who lived 2 centuries ago.

This is the first chapter in a series of events for these once five, now six friends. What part will you play?



This is a realistic x paranormal RP, which I hope will turn into a series of short stories revolving around the group of friends and paranormal events. This will be the main OOC thread. I will only be accepting dedicated, literate and experienced Role Players into this RP. If you choose not to continue playing in any of the other chapters, then that’s fine – as long as your character can continue to be used by someone else I find to take your place.

Re: Paranormal Events;; The Chapters Of [OoC] ( )

Postby tigerz-peace on Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:30 am

Username >> Tigerz-Peace
Name >> Bethany Dawn
Goes By >> Beth
Age >> 19 & 2 months [The oldest in the group]
Gender >> Female
Nationality >> Scottish/Yugoslavian
Personality >>
Always the leader, and perfect hostess, Bethany is friendly and polite. With an open heart, she is always willing to put a hand in her pocket for a friend, or to offer a compliment. It seems her unconscious goal is to please anyone and everyone, and to do everything in her power to make them happy.
Beth is also a planner, and a morning person. If she goes to bed late, she is absolutely horrid in the mornings. She plans out everything before she does it, and has been the one finalizing the details of the road trip.

Appearance >>

Image
Beth stands at roughly 5’7” and weighs in at 59kg on a good day. Having lost all her puppy-fat when she was in year 10, Beth has an obvious hourglass figure. Her hair is a dark brunette, highlighted by faint blonde and red streaks, and it falls half way down her back. Her hazel eyes are inviting, as is her charming smile that she nearly constantly wears. Her nose is slightly crooked, having been broken twice when she was younger [all accidentally].
Beth has a birthmark on her left side which, in her opinion, looks like a star, and a tiny mole above her belly button. She walks with a straight back and an air of confidence, but in the end she is no exceptional looker, rather average in her opinion.

Background >>

Beth grew up in Dover, Kent, as did her parents. With a Scottish mother and Yugoslavian father, the culture in her family home is somewhat unique. A brash, fiery mother and a conservative, yet fun father who works wonders with wood. Beth has lived a relatively normal life, except for the occasional paranormal experience such as with the Ouija board. When she was 14, her parents had her Baba [Yugoslavian Grandmother] move in with them, which had Beth ecstatic.
Beth has done well enough in school receiving average marks, and slightly above average in maths and woodwork.
Other >>

She is fluent in Yugoslavian, as she spends much time speaking to her Baba and learning all she can about her childhood and life in general. Also takes after her father in carpeting, and assisted in the renovating of their two story house.



Username >> Proclaimer
Name >> Adrien Bray Wyman
Age >> 18
Gender >> Male
Nationality >> French
Personality >>
Adrien is the type who likes to have small inside jokes and keep his lips always curved into a smile. More so he likes to keep things interesting without carrying them too far. He is an amazing friend and would do almost anything for you if you asked him, basically just loyal and there for you. If you think he is a snotty stuck-up jock than you're seriously in need of a check on your own knowledge. Adrien loves life and tries to live it to his fullest, being honest about most things and making an honest living with the urge to just be happy: To be himself.

Appearance >>
Image

Somewhat on the short side at only 5'6" which is somewhat normal for his family as well as his nationality. He has short-layered, grayish-brown, shaggy hair and matching it are beautiful enlightened hazel eyes. His skin is a lush mix of a very light mocha color and to most it seems he is just a guy with a suitable tan - even though that may be 'partly' true. Adrien as well has very small, hard to see, dimples on both of his cheeks which most find to be a very cute element but personally he despises them. The build he has going on is not at all even close to being chubby but yet he is very lean with broad shoulders, a sculpted abdomen, and chest. His arms reach down about half his body-length and he carries a pretty suitable six pack - very athletic. Adrien is the type who works out to keep in shape as well as running a mile almost every morning; in general he likes to look good for the ladies. Besides wearing gym shorts and a gray T-shirt he likes to keep things simple and wear a pair of jeans - even in the summer. Above that usually a Tap Out branded shirt and a wife beater for an under shirt. Around his neck is a silver cross pendant which seems rather expensive and below a set of normal white ankle socks and Nike - Air Flight '89, black and white sneakers.

Background >>

Growing up in Marseille, France which is not too far off from Paris, he was born into a family of patrons of many different hobbies and tastes. Taking on most of them, his family would say he was a child who was well-rounded and could intentionally go anywhere in life. His father was the ambassador of France and in his time he was in a wealthy state. Because of his fathers job they moved close to the famed haunted Glamis Castle. Somewhat embarrassed by this he moved further away where he was practically known as a nobody even though his parents left him with millions at only the age of 17 - which he put most of it in a bank. Now living a normal life in a large condo and driving a normal little beat up truck, he has tried to live life without being in high-society. During the year spent in the UK his father was assassinated and unusual things have occurred which he has tried not to speak of for he doesn't want to be titled as a "Freak." For now he has focused on his hobbies and the few friends he has made such as Bethany and the five others.

Other >>

He loves poetry and is secretly a writer without his friends acknowledgment. Adrien loves to play almost any sport ranging from his favorites of Soccer,Football to Basketball and Baseball, just an all-around guy - well rounded. Growing up in France he does naturally speak French and is very fluent in it as well as perfect English - though not caught up in the "UK Accent." Writing aside he does play the guitar which he prefers acoustic over electric and doesn't dare to even pick one up, he also dabbles in piano. Last but not least he is a student of the arts and is very artistic and creative when it comes to a pencil and a pad.


Username >> AliceInWonderland
Name >> April 'Blue' Banks
Age >> 18
Gender >> Female
Nationality >> Black
Personality >>
Loud, rambunctious, outspoken, outgoing, immature, and sometimes abrasive. She speaks her mind, does what she wants and has very immature, party-girl outlook on life. Her closest friends, the other five, are the only people besides her family whom she seems to give a second thought. Everyone else is unworthy of her respect unless proven otherwise. Deep down, she is a very confused and sometimes even insecure girl.

Appearance >>

Image
Blue is a little shorter then most coming in at only 5'3 without the help from her favorite heels. She prefers to wear make-up to highlight her peanut butter brown shade skin and usually wears her black hair down, parted to the side. She has an athletic build and takes great pride in her appearance. She has dark brown eyes, high cheek-bones and full, heart-shaped lips.

Background >>

April grew up in a decent neighborhood and went to school with good kids. She was a good kid who was shy and friendly and never caused trouble; an average kid who made decent grades and played sports. It wasn't until junior high that she became very good at sports, especially at volley ball and track. By the time April was 13, she started receiving letters from colleges that wanted to congratulate her and invite her to summer camps.

At one of these particular summer camps in Glasgow, Scotland, she received the nickname Blue. Wearing a blue jersey at the time, a boy tried to grab her attention by simply referring to her as 'Girl in the blue' while she was at McDonalds. Not confident enough to allow this stranger into her world by telling him her real name, she took on the alternate identity and kept 'Blue' as her own. While on her stay in Glasgow, she began hanging with a rougher crowd that April would not have tangled with but Blue feel in love with. She began smoking marijuana and by the time she was 15, drinking heavily.

For at least one month every summer, April would escape to take on that persona named Blue until her sophomore year in high school when April didn't come back. She demanded every one start referring to her as her alter ego, except for her family and her closest of friends.

When away from the other five, April takes on a devilish attitude and becomes a force to be reckoned with. Apologies become a foreign language and biting her tongue is a sin but while she is with those whom she is most comfortable with, she puts her bad attitude to the side. She becomes that sweet kid again and a loving friend.

Now that April is 18, she is a frequent party-girl, often traveling out of the area to spend drunken nights in hotels near college campuses. Instead of going to a well-known athletic University like most athletes, she coped out for a party school where she will still play on a full-ride scholarship and get to have the fun that she craves.

Postby tigerz-peace on Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:33 am

Name >> Jon O'Riley Campbell
Username >> Drako11
Goes By >> Riley
Age >> 18
Gender >> Male
Nationality >> Irish
Personality >>
Riley is a somewhat sedate character. He likes to have fun and hang out, but can sometimes be withdrawn as if in his own world. He has one flaw, he loves booze, vodka in particular. When he gets a hold of it he is transformed into a wild crazy character with a love for mischief and trouble.
Image
Appearance >>
Riley stands at 6' 1" with a mop of deep red curly hair. His skin is light with a smatter of freckles. He is somewhat muscular and enjoys physical activity. His eyes are an emerald green. He usually wears a military green button up shirt, unbuttoned to reveal a gray tank top. He wears baggy, blue levis, and black and red Vans.
Background >>
Riley was one of the most successful soccer players his age when he lived in Ireland – those years of success beginning when he was merely seven years old and continuing on till he was 10. Then he was moved to Dover, Kent, where he became just as successful in the area, then even further out.
For a time, Riley had plans to go on to uni and pursue a career in soccer. However, he soon became a frequenter of pubs when he turned 16, and has since forgotten his dream of being a professional soccer player. He can still be found from time to time fiddling around with his soccer ball, though, and most of the group have been trying to make hi quit drinking so much.












Name >> Clementine Gardner
Username >> Northcity Rose
Goes By >> 'Clem' to her friends
Age >> 17
Gender >> Female
Nationality >> New Zealand European
Personality >>
Clementine is a somewhat introverted young lady, though she is not anywhere near as shy as she used to be. She worries a lot, and had anxiety attacks when she was younger. Clem is nervous about anything that puts her in the spotlight. She has trouble voicing her opinions. However, there is a sweet side to Clementine. Despite her worries and her shyness, she smiles a lot and enjoys others’ company.
Appearance >>
Image
Clem stands at about 5’5”, with a curvaceous figure and pale, easily burnt skin. Her hair is dead-straight, blonde in colour, and cut into a blunt bob that frames her face. Her eyebrows are almost unnoticeably darker than her hair, and her eyes are light blue. Freckles decorate her nose and cheeks.
When she was younger, Clem was chubby and worried about her weight, and went on a diet-and-exercise routine that her friends managed to convince her out of after almost a year. As she grew, the puppy fat slowly disappeared along with her worries.
Clem still has a very strong Kiwi accent.
Background >>
Clementine was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and lived in the North Island of NZ until she was ten years old. Then, her parents moved her to Dover, which she was very nervous about. Clem was dreading starting at a completely new school, and it took her a long time to settle in. She eventually did, however, and made a small group of friends with whom she hasn’t parted since.
Clem’s parents separated when she was fourteen, and the divorce was very messy. She still sees her father, though not as often as she’d like, and she has grown very close to her mother. Only Beth out of all her friends knows just how much the divorce upset her. Clem has two siblings: Rebecca (15) and Jason (12).
Other >> Clem loves rollerblading and cooking equally, and wants to be a chef when she’s older.






Name >> Marcel "Sparkx" Thomas
Username >>
Age >> 19
Gender >> Male
Nationality >> German/Italian

Personality >> Marcel can be a little arrogant at times, as can any man. Though, he is not completely self centered. He cares deeply for his friends -- though family doesn't matter that much to him anymore. Loving to take chances... he's broken more than a couple bones. Also, he has a very open mind and is opinionated/passionate about different things [especially music and art -- which often times open up the deeper less shallow part of himself].

Appearance >>

Image
Marcel always hated his hair while growing up. It used to be this random fuzz ball of disaster. He vowed to himself, solemnly, never to let that happen again -- now his hair tends to be a main focus. He keeps it short and choppy and never dyes it for any reason -- it's just always been dark chocolate brown. His eyes are vibrant shade of emerald green that compliment his olive toned skin which hardly ever gets darker with the sun -- usually he burns then it fades back into rich and smooth olive tones. Standing at 6'1" and weighing 160lbs he stands on the smaller build -- yet is completely toned [without even working out!]. Most times he's found sporting random clothing, shades, and a scruffy beard. Also, he has a tattoo on his right wrist that says "When the time is right" ~ Being drunk when he got it... it hardly stands for anything now.

Background >> Marcel grew up as an only child. His parents spoiled him and allowed him to do most anything he wanted. They even gave him his own "mini apartment" [as they called it] in the in-law suite behind the house when he was fifteen -- all they asked was no girls to come over [yea right!]. Being more on the careless side he caused his parents a lot of hospital bills [nothing they couldn't handle] -- and yet to this day he still doesn't know what they do for a profession [though they give money to him all the time and his spends it frivolously]. Though his parents gave him everything and he needed for nothing -- he still held an awkward stance with them. He didn't care for them mostly because they were never around. No one went to his basketball games when he was younger to cheer him on and not once did they show up at a PTA meeting. Basically, they were ATM's to him -- and nothing more. Other than that, Marcel was pretty popular with the ladies and men for that matter. He had lots of friends and hung out with almost anyone. He had always wanted a garage band sort of set up so forced himself to learn how to play the guitar and paired it with his deep and seductive growls. Many times he was told he was an amazing singer [+ screamer and what not] but usually just brushed it off. There was no real reason to try and make something of himself if his parents gave him everything. He just stuck with his friends and did whatever... not really caring about the consequences of his actions.

Other >> Marcel loves music and art [and tries to sketch from time to time though he's not that great at it]. Inwardly, he longs for a touch -- something that is sincere and right. Something to prove to him that not every woman is like his mother -- cold and distant.

Six years ago five friends gathered for a sleep over – of course, it wasn’t any ordinary sleep over.
A storm raged outside the two story home while the five friends talked and laughed. Soon dinner was eaten, then they settled down with snacks and watched the latest [at the time] horror movie. Thoroughly scared to the bone, the five made their way up the stairs to the bedroom of the hostess.
Nearly an hour later, the found themselves huddled on the bed, clutching at each other in fear. A Ouija board lay scattered on the floor while the wind continued to howl in all its ghostly might outside, only ensuring the five were even more frightened.

That was six years ago – and only now is the past coming back to haunt them. Only instead of just their own past, they experience the past of someone who lived 2 centuries ago.

This is the first chapter in a series of events for these once five, now six friends. What part will you play?


Image
Located in Glamis, Tayside, the origin of the Castle’s haunting is in the 16th century. This is the ancestral home of the Earls of Strathmore, the Bowes Lyons. It was given to the family in 1372 by King Robert II. It is also the setting for Macbeth. The ghost of Lady Janet Glamis, wife of the 6th Lord Glamis, resides in this castle.

In the year 1537, Lady Janet Glamis was burned at the stake at Castle Hill, Edinburgh, after being accused of witchcraft. This was after the death of her husband, when King James V had taken advantage of Lady Glamis’ lack of protection and accused her of trying to kill him with her powers.

People knew Lady Glamis was no witch, but the King was a powerful man and made people speak out against her, often by using torture – this method was used of Janet’s 16 year old son.
Her son was found guilty as well, but was not to be executed until he had reached his coming of age. However, King James V died before then and her son was restored to his position as Lord Glamis.

Lady Janet Glamis can be seen above the clock tower and in the chapel.

Yes, yes I did. See, the paranormal actually came to me when I was writing up this RP, and well... Now I can see and sense things.... Lmao....

Oh, and Rose is back! -Cheers-

Okay so we begin in Dover, Kent where the group have grown up together. Fast forward five years from where they have their first paranormal experience and Adrien shows up. Adrien doesn’t reveal much of his background but the group still accept him. Adrien is from Glamis, Tayside Scotland, where he had some paranormal experiences of his own, involving the ghost the RP is going to focus on.
Anyway, fast forward another year and the group have finished school for good, and they’re just about done finalizing details of the road trip they’d been planning since they were in year ten. So anyway, a few days after graduation, some MAJOR freaky paranormal shit happens and the group decide to consult the ouija board, this time with Adrien. so anyway, they creep up into Beths [my charry] attic, scared shitless, because the ouija board is in the attic because Beth had her dad put it up there after the first paranormal experience.
Anywho, so they consult the ouija board, and because of the presence of Adrien the ouija board is going crazy. Anyway, in the end everything seems to say “Glamis Castle” and so the group decide to go there.

So anyway, this is kinda where I got to. I have an idea who the ghost will be - Lady Janet Glamis. You can see her story in the fourth post. I think I may have someone to play her, as well.

http://paranormal.about.com/library/bls ... h04_24.htm That is where I got the original idea for a paranormal RP. What I was thinking was perhaps, after the ouija board, Adrien or someone else in the group finds themselves confronted in the same manner as in that story I linked.
Anyways, when the group arrive at Glamis, perhaps they could learn from locals that extremely strange things are happening at the Castle. Sudden fires inside and out, lots of paranormal occurrences etc
I guess like... Mebbe the group could have some few close calls with death because of the occurrences, and then perhaps one of the group goes missing. The group ends up using the Ouija board and other means to contact the spirit [who they would discover to be Lady Janet] and then find out why she is doing such things so long after her death and shit and then end up putting her to rest or something?

Okay. Guys. Input = EXCELLENT. Lol
