[OOC] Haunting in Portland

[Blue Demon]

You're Accepted!
I'll move the CS to the OP.

[flightless-angel-castiel]

Well, RL is kind of slowing down so I should be able to work on a character today! I have a slight idea so hopefully it won't take too long to write up when I get the chance. Really excited for this.

[Warriors of The Nameless Zone]

Okay, I think that's pretty much everything.

Name: Vincent Hughes

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasian

Position: Ghost Whisperer/Technician

Physical Description: Vincent is 5’9” and is skinny. He has short brown hair with pale green eyes. He wears glasses. The right side of his face is covered in scars, as-well-as much of his torso. Because of this, he always wears clothing that covers as much of that as possible.

Personality: Vincent is easy-going and extremely inquisitive. Under pressure he is calm and analytical, trying to work through the problem methodically. Though he is a little resentful over the upheaval of his recent past, this has led to bouts of anger and depression. He is also extremely sensitive over his scared appearance and people who doubt his spirit guide.

History: Vincent was born in Wiltshire, England. Shortly after his birth his mother died. A few years later his father remarried, an American woman. Other than that, Vincent led a painfully normal childhood; he learned, he loved, he fought, and he cried.

That changed when, three days after his 17th birthday. Vincent and his father were involved in a terrible car crash that claimed his father’s life and left him in a coma for 6 weeks.

When he awoke, he claimed to have had a strange dream; he had found himself floating in a sea of blackness. He didn’t know how long he had been there for; time seemed to hold little sway. After a while, he was engulfed in a magnificent white light and a voice spoke to him.

The voice identified itself as ‘James’, and it told Vincent that the accident with his father had not meant to happen. He also said that as payment of his debt he would serve as a guide for Vincent. Of course no one believed him, and after a while, he began to even doubt himself.

A little over a year later, his step-mother returned to America, not having coped well after her husband’s death. She had stayed to this long to support Vincent in his recovery, though in actuality it ended up with him supporting the grieving widow.

He decided to remain in England, and life slowly began to return to the common drudgery.

Approaching his 20th birthday, Vincent began to notice coloured light radiating around people. At first it was only now-and-again, and lasted for a few seconds. But as time went on, it lasted longer and appeared around more people.

He began to think something was wrong with him, maybe something caused by the accident. But no doctor could find anything physically wrong. They said it was probably simply stress. He tried to ignore the increasingly strange occurrences, to get on with his life.

Then James returned.

Vincent felt as if he had lost the proverbial plot. In his desperation, he attempted suicide. Eventually James managed to calm him, he explained that Vincent was awaking to his psychic abilities and that he would teach him to control them.

Since then, as-well-as learning to control his abilities, he became fascinated by paganism and learned as much as he could. Though he wouldn’t describe himself as pagan.

Six months ago his step-mother became seriously ill and Vincent moved to America to care for her. Whilst there, he found an ad for a newly formed ghost hunting group, he decided that maybe he could use his skills and abilities to help others, as-well-as maybe learn more about what happened to him, too.

Skills: He can see auras, sense spirits and his spirit guide can facilitate communication with other entities. He also has knowledge of various paganistic lore.

That's okay. We still have a few WIPs.

Warriors of The Nameless Zone said Okay, I think that's pretty much everything.

So that means it's ready for the OP?

Dethran said If you would be interested in coordinating backstories (it doesn't need to be anything terribly complicated), please message me so that we can work out the details!

Don't forget about this everyone. :)

I hope so. If it's up to standards.

[Blue Demon]

Looks good to me. Accepted.

[SouloftheAbyss]

I am willing to integrate my character's history with another character's if anyone wants to do so.

[Warriors of The Nameless Zone]

I would as well, however I don't know how easy it would be given my character's background.

[SouloftheAbyss]

I will probably be editing my character's history a bit anyway, so I wouldn't mind helping someone who wants to combine stories.

[Dethran]

Soul, I've sent you a message about possible ideas for collaboration.
If you could take a look at that and let me know what you think, I'd love to be able to finish filling out my CS pretty soon.

I'd be happy to, and please call me Abyss.

Edit: I have changed Cassie's history slightly along with her position.

[Blue Demon]

Alrighty. I edited the OP to reflect these changes.

[Dethran]

And I've updated Jackie's history to finish it up with the new collaboration.

[Blue Demon]

Bo-dop-be-do-boop.
I'll put yours on the OP too.

Do you guys want a task? Everyone said they joined a group out of advertising. Does anyone want to be the person who decided to start all this? Or are you going to make me do it? :D

[The RC Master]

That sounds good! X3 You should probably do it.

[Blue Demon]

The RC Master said That sounds good! X3 You should probably do it.

Or should I foist responsibilities onto you my minions? *Laughs evilly*

[The RC Master]

Whatever you want, Master. *_*

[Blue Demon]

Well, it's something to think about. If not, I do have a back up.

[The RC Master]

Well, anything works with me, really. Don't know about the others.

[Dethran]

Well, with the newly vacant position of coordinator, that would be a good place for our resident angel to step in as our founding member, if they felt so inclined!
