The OOC is not Open

Idea: You are one person in a small group of friends who like all things paranormal. In a world just like our own, with little supernatural events or sightings. (It's debatable for people to believe or not to believe in ghosts, psychics, etc.) One day you got together with some friends and decided it'd be fun to start up a business to investigate paranormal disturbances for either individuals or businesses. You'd use high tech equipment to measure and record and maybe even catch a glimpse of that elusive ghost.

The Paranormal:
ESP- Extrasensory perception. For this game there are two different types.
  • Type A: These people have a mild sixth sense as it were. A Type A ESPer is someone who can sense things that aren't normal. Though all Type A people have to focus on this skill in order to make it work. Some people can see Auras if they focus. Some can sense spirits (but not see or talk to them).
  • Type B: Thses people are highly in tune with the paranormal. They are mediums, clairvoyants, telekinesis, etc.
Ghosts:
There are two different types of ghosts. There are your ghosts that are spirits of the departed who have not passed on. Then there are the imprints of people.
The spirits can manifest in my different types. Vengeful spirits, poltergeists, women in white, demons, etc. Each spirit is different and should be treated with caution.

The Equipment:
This link is perhaps the easiest way to familiarize yourself with ghost hunting equipment.

The Job:
The story will begin with the first job. We'll begin on site, so it's not too tedious. However before that we'll have to assign roles and know what's going on. Roles that are open (And roles can include more than one of these): Camera Operator. Technician. Coordinator. Ghost Whisperer, a.k.a. the guy who goes and wanders about trying to get a sighting.

locations:
Both real and fictional. For the first "adventure" I'm going to use a real haunted location. Though I might change a few details.

Who am I looking for?
I'm looking for 4-5 people to join. This would be a smaller group. If I get five people joining, I'll just take all the NPCs and let you guys have at it. ~

Where is it going?
Casual.

Well you have my interest. I love the first idea.
Hopefully this is causal. I'm wretched At Advanced. Well I'm mid to high causal.

That's a shame. But I have no idea where this'll end up at the moment. It just might end up in casual.
And so far #1 is winning.
*tosses confetti*
If we get one more for the first idea I'll call it #1 and put up more information in the OP.

Alright then. I added some more information on who's who and what's what. Before I make an OOC I want to know what you want to do (what position do you want to fill)? And which section you'd like this to be in. We've already gotten 1 vote for casual and unless someone says any different I'm going with that.

And, this is important, I want to know what you would want to see happen in this story in accordance with your character. (You can either tell me here, or PM me.)

Any other thoughts, questions? Anything I missed/didn't cover? Now's the time to speak up.

I imagine my character being in charge of the business side of things. Researching new Haunts, contacting the owners, organizing where our team will be and when, like a teenage paranormal secretary. Haha.

I'm A-OK with casual.

Hmm, well, there is something in particular I'd like to RP with. I forget the name of the house but I'll find it! It's a house that was supposedly built to house an enormous amount of spirits. Construction work on the house hasn't stopped since it was built because it constantly needs to be expanding. The house is built to confuse the spirits so they can't escape. There are stairs that lead to nowhere and doors that open to reveal walls.

The house you speak of is the Winchester house, in San Jose California. Built by Sarah Winchester in1884 it was designed to confuse the ghosts of people killed by the Winchester guns who were seeking revenge.

I am in awe of your nerdiness! Ever since I was young, I've always, always wanted a crazy house with secret passageways like Whipstaff Manor. One day I imagine I'll use my millions to create a Winchester House in the UK.

Cause ghosts will haunt you!!! If you make money off of their deaths..., How about you buy Chillingham Castle one of the most haunted places in the UK.

I think my guy shall be the history guy. The one with the knowledge of the places they go.

In real life I claim to have seen ghosts. Well had encounters with them.

I'm too ratchet to live in a fancy castle.

Oh really? Tell us about your encounters with ghosts. I don't believe in them BUT I do have some freaky stories I can share. But you first! Haha.
