What if you were suddenly trapped some where you went on a regular basis? Say you went to your favorite restaurant, and the police came and locked it down, indefinitely? That’s the idea in this RPG, except of course you’re a spirit and the only restaurant is the human realm.

Generally the spirit realm is a lot like the human realm. The beings that live there have jobs, families, and friends (think ‘Ghost Master’ if you like). It is home to many beings. There are of course the common shades, ghosts of animals and people. Then there are the elemental spirits which drive the natural forces. And of course there are greater spirits which run things, the authorities (there will be no god-type players, so don’t worry about these greater spirits.) There are also a few half-spirit or magical beings which can cross over into the spirit realm; fairies, witches, vampires, and shaman.
Recently a riot broke out in the spirit world, nobody was hurt, but it really ticked off the authorities. The ‘worst offenders’ were ‘determined’ by authorities and thrown into the human world. All gateways to and from the spirit world were then sealed until the whole mess could be sorted out and some real punishment thought up. (Note: there may be a few unsealed gateways that the authorities didn’t know about.) This left quite a few spirits stranded. You are one of these stranded spirits; perhaps you were on earth already when the riot broke out, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe you were one of the troublemakers. You also have the option of playing a being which lives in the human world, including a human such as exorcists who are determined to capture these stranded souls.
At first this may seem like no crisis, after all the human world has an unlimited supply of food for spirits. Spirits feed off energy, some feed off a specific energy such as electrical energy, heat energy (body heat or fire), spirit energy, or life energy (energy produce by body possibly including heat and electric), while others will feed off of all these sorts. It’s the most dangerous spirits that feed off spirit energy; these spirits leave their victims very weak or worse, soulless. Earth is also a realm of endless entertainment for those souls who like to scare humans. However there are downsides to being trapped on earth. For one spirits require more energy (and in turn more food) while on earth. Second they are also cut off from friends, family and home. And more importantly the closure of the doors to the spirit realm leaves them visible to humans (though most have no corporeal/physical body) and susceptible to spiritual damage from mediums and exorcists. The appearance and disappearance of ghosts in front of humans generally is caused by the use of these doors, only a few spirits actually have the ability to be invisible.
Beyond this plot the story is basically open-ended, so let’s have fun!
___
Sign-up form:
Name: Just who are you?
Type: This can be as specific or general as you require, ghost is general while poltergeist identifies a particular type of ghost. If you are not a spirit identify that fact here by saying what you are.
Food: What type of energy do you feed off of? If human, magical being, or half-spirit you should replace this field with Age and Gender. Spirits are generally ageless and genderless but may have a gender identity.
Special Powers: Is their anything particularly special you can do? Can you wall through walls? Fly? Summon gusts of wind?
Appearance: You may look very human, or you may look rather strange. For added fun some spirits may be see through or glow.
Personality: What are you like? Make sure this doesn’t contradict itself.
History: What has happened to you in the past? Oh and what involvement did you have or not have in the riot?
Other: Is there anything else we ought to know, do you go crazy whenever a bell rings?
___
ME:
Name: Kris
Type: Electrical Ghost, killed by an electrical ‘accident’ so she exhibits strange electrical side affects.
Food: Electrical energy. While Kris prefers industrially created energy, she will settle for the 30 or so watts created by the human nervous system.
Special Powers: Sense Kris is aligned to the electrical element her powers and talents include creating electrical sparks and streams, and messing with electrical devices. She’s quite skilled at typing cryptic messages on computers from a distance and making lights flash. She cannot fly, but can walk through walls.
Appearance: Most of the time Kris looks human; she has fair skin, short black hair, and blue eyes. Occasionally static sparks will fly from her hair. She wears a shirt with light blue and dark blue stripes and white pants. She also wears light blue sneakers. Kris also has the ability to revert to a crisp blackened form which is only generally human in shape.
Personality: Kris is a generally friendly and easy to get along with once you know her. She cares about other spirits, even those she doesn’t know. She has a mischievous side however, and while it eventually ended up costing her, her life, death was no cure for her trickery. Kris likes to come over to earth and scare people, she’s pretty good at it, but she would never do anything to actually harm them. She’s also a little hyper, a factor which contributes to her mischief.
History: Kris died while trying cause a blackout to trick a friend. While being dead was depressing at first, her new found abilities to scare people were quite amusing. She often visited the human realm to tease humans and watch them run in terror. She chooses her victims carefully however, because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. She was out scaring one day and while she was out the gateways were sealed. She’s very confused and worried that something bad may have happened, but sense she can’t get back to the other side she can’t do anything about it. (She doesn’t know about the riot.)
Other: none… I like rice…;munchlax;
