It all started when you tripped. Or something like that. You're sure you tripped on something, and you fell, but you can't remember the details. Everything just went black after that. And now you're in a house you cannot leave.

From the room you regain consciousness in, you're sure the house is an old Victorian mansion, but something about it eats at you. It's... odd. For instance the front door doesn't open no matter what you try, as do any other doors to the outside, except for the door to the garden. One of the staircases just ends, with nothing else at the top. The globe in the study opens and plays a haunting musical tune, for seemingly no reason at all. One of the basement store rooms hurts your eyes to look at. The list goes on and on.

It's not as bad as it could be, though. There are places to sleep, decent food, and more importantly other people who have become trapped as well. They appear periodically in the room you woke in with a flash of white light, a bang, and smoke. Existence in the house is tiring. It's a huge house, almost without defined boundaries. The days seem longer than they should be. As the sun plays across your face, you beg for a brief respite from the harsh sun.

When the sun sets, you take it back. If the days seem long, the nights are even longer. The sounds of construction buzzes in your ears, preventing sleep even more than the bright light of day. And then THEY come out. Those things that exist only in nightmares, that many people do not believe in. Some do, of course, as in any population, but they defy logic, defy sense. Spirits, entities, call them what you will. Gnawing, killing, breeding. You're sure the house is no longer safe, and you try again to leave.

But you failed, of course. The Grim House welcomes you; it doesn't wish for its guests to leave just yet.

General Rules:

1. No godmodding or otherwise working the system for an unfair advantage or ability
2. Please limit, for the moment, one character application per person.
3. For application, please give your full name, age, general location, contact information (preferably instant messaging), as well as your application's character name, age, bio, personality, abilities, and the source of canon. "Canon" refers to where your particular character originated, from what series, and at what point in the media they are taken into the house. Please make sure you provide plenty of information: short applications WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. I need a good deal of information to work with, as well as the canonical information you should provide with your application.
4. As number 3 implies, this is a non-original character RP. Your character needs to be from a published fictional work. This means a fictional character from any book series, television series, anime or manga series, movie, etc is allowed. You cannot make up your own character: they have to be the creation made by someone else. What I must stress to be clear is that you cannot have a fictional character based on a real life character. If you have any questions about these rules, please feel free to message me.
5. Character powers and abilities are diluted significantly once the character enters the Grim House. If a DBZ character has the ultimate ability to destroy an entire planet, it can destroy the internal workings of perhaps 1/4 of the original house (before construction). No matter what a character tries, the walls or supporting structures of the house cannot be destroyed.

More information regarding The Grim House's world and other story canon will be posted later. Please check back often for updates.
