Nicholas Reid

An extremely reluctant ghost who won't tell anyone exactly why he won't cross over (although many have tried to help him). [quote]I forgot to leave out some cat food before someone butchered me with a knife. I have to go back and feed my cat. [/quote]

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Cloasse

Description

Full Name: Nicholas Reid
Age: 29 (at death)
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 193 lbs




Nicholas, as a ghost, doesn't exactly... stand any more. He tends to float about aimlessly, waving his arms about in irritation when he can't open doors or, in some cases, punch people.

Many have tried to help this wandering man through to the next stage of death, but Nick refuses to go. He never gives a real reason, instead inventing the silliest things in order to try and convince these clairvoyants to put him back into life.

A few of his most favourite reasons include:

  • "I have to go back and feed my cat."
  • "I'm a secret agent and there are thousands of lives at risk if I don't come back from the dead."
  • "I was gonna get laid on the night that madman came in and casually stabbed me to death. I'd like to go apologise for dying, 'cause that girl was fine."

So begins...

To say that Nicholas was interested in the goings on of the bar would be... a lie. He didn't care, but he had heard that quite a few people died and then randomly came to life here, so it was a good bet that someone could resurrect him.

The reluctant ghost wandered in through the door, hands in the pockets of his favourite ghostly jeans whilst the untucked shirt he wore (see, you could really tell he was going on the pull the night he died; he certainly wasn't ugly) flapped lightly in a breeze that just didn't exist.

"So! I'm Nick!" he announced quite happily, although he was certain that very few people would be able to see him.

Casually floating about, Nicholas nodded. It was a cocky nod, that nod that suggested he knew exactly what he was doing and couldn't be deterred from the task.

In reality, Nick hadn't a clue what he was doing. He knew he needed to get back into life - literally - but he hadn't any idea as to how.

"Hello! Dead guy here, ain't anybody gonna offer me some ectoplasm or... y'know, help?"

"Oh now, come on! That is just sick, man, fucking sick! This place is epic! Now, if we can find a sexy lady-ghost for me to hook up with in a bush somewhere, I would rename this city the City of Okay Things."

Nicholas Reid traipsed around, floating in concentric circles with the occasional twitch to the left or the right - because that was fun, of course.

"Hey, can dead people drink? It'd be, like, totally awesome if I could have a beer right now. Cold, cold, pleasant beer..."

"Hey. My chest hole is sexy, isn't it? That's what that last clairvoyant said, anyway. Apparently blood is a turn on... Whatever. I'm not talking to some snotty whatever-the-hell-you-are. You're making my unfilled, ectoplasmic stomach feel queasy!"

Nicholas floated away from his current position in order to pick a free bit of floor space to simply pick his legs up and cross them in mid air.

"So. No people who can send me back to the damned? Y'know, the people who still have to pay taxes? I forgot to turn my heater off before I died, and my dog'll be suffering from heatstroke."

Nicholas Reid took a breath. "Ow." And another breath. Not that he needed to, but he felt like it was necessary to keep the instinct going since he was - definitely - returning to his life.

"Sorry, snot-bloke. Can't help either of those."

Nicholas Reid snorted. "Aha! That's where you're wrong. I'm incredibly important," Nicholas nodded. Importantly, at that.

"I help sick kids," Nick said. "I'm a very important doctor who cures tantrums far and wide. Yeah. Stick that up your arse and smoke it, Snotty."

Nicholas Reid shrugs, casually leaning back and floating aimlessly in the air. "I'm kind of important. To some people. Actually, no, that's lie. Someone killed me for some reason, so I guess I must've been hated by someone..."

"Nah. I'd make a terrible zombie. I'm too lazy to pull my dead weight around. I like being a ghost. Not as much as I like being alive, but definitely more than I would like being a zombie, let me assure you."

"I haven't ever saved someone's life. I did rescue a kitten from a tree when I was eight, but that was only 'cause I'd got stuck up there too and saw it before my Dad came to get me."

"It'd have been cool if you were... Ironic and all that. Hey, can I get to be a God? I'd love to smite people!" Nicholas rolled over so that he was floating instead on his stomach, shins up in the air like a teen girl reading a magazine on her bed. "Can you smite people? Smite one of the living people in here! Go on, man! Please?"

Hshhraka, Illithid Extraordinaire would find its tentacles going straight through Nicholas' head, resulting in a shiver and scowl from the ghost.

Nicholas Reid snickered, casually floating up to prod a hand through the roof, followed by his head.

He soon plummeted back down to the ground.

"Holy mother of shit, there are people doing it up there!"
