Ah, hello. It's good to see you here. Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Dusknoir. It's not the first name I've had, and it won't be the last, but it will do for now. I exist for one purpose only, and that is to lead the souls of the departed to their eternal rest. Yes, I'm here for you. I see you're eager to embark on your final journey.
However... you can't.
I'm sorry. It seems your soul is still too attatched to this world. That is, you still have some unfinished business to attend to before you can rest in peace. Until that business is taken care of, you will be unable to leave this world.
Don't worry, though. There are those in this world who can help you – humans attuned to the spirit world. You can seek them out or they may come to you, but you will only be able to accomplish what you need to in order to move on with their help. Once you have taken care of your unfinished business, you will be able to make the journey to your eternal sleep, and I will come to lead you there.
Until then, goodbye and good luck!

Plot:
When a person dies, their spirits are usually simply lead to their final rest. However, some people still have strong ties to the living world and are unable to move on until their unfinished business is taken care of. This “unfinished business” can be almost anything, from reconciling with an estranged family member to bringing justice to a murderer. Once the spirit has achieved peace, the envoy of the spirit world (Dusknoir) will come to lead them to their eternal rest.
Unfortunately, achieving peace is easier said than done. The spirits' memories of their former lives are vague at best, and they can only interact with certain people who can sense the spirit world. (i.e. the spirit can't just walk up to a random person on the street and ask for help. They need to find someone who can see, hear, and/or touch them to help them interact with other people.)
Five spirits have decided to actively seek out such people in order to take care of their unfinished business and move on. It will not be easy, and it probably won't be painless, but the spirits are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve peace.

Info and Rules:
This is a semi-Pokemon based RP. To make it relevant to the Pokemon world, all spirits should be based off of Ghost type Pokemon. (i.e. Dusknoir is the one who leads departed spirits to rest) Human characters can be based off of Pokemon, but it is not required. The basic rules are:
1. No godmodding, obviously. If you are a spirit character, you can get away with some things (gunfire will not hurt a ghost, obviously) but you MUST have some kind of weakness (holy water, inability to enter certain places, people harming your corpse etc.). Nobody is invincible.
2. Since this is an RP dealing with dead people, some gore will be allowed, but keep it PG-13. The goal is not to gross other people out. If your descriptions of gore are making other people uncomfortable, you will be asked to edit or remove them. Same goes for swearing.
3. Use proper English to the best of your ability. Text-speak is annoying to read and does not make for a good story.
4. Romance between humans and spirits is discouraged. Remember, the whole point of the RP is to help the spirits move on and leave the world of the living. If two humans fall in love, or two spirits feel a connection, that's fine. Just remember to keep it appropriate, the same rules for gore and swearing apply.
5. No killing off other peoples' characters. If somebody gets murdered, odds are we'll have another unhappy spirit drifting around and that throws the whole thing out of balance.
6. If you want to control an NPC, discuss it with me and the other players if it affects them. I'll be controlling Dusknoir whenever he pops up, which won't be too often. (He's mostly a plot device.)
7. All the usual forum rules besides the one's I've mentioned here apply. Respect your fellow members, and have fun!
8. If you've read the rules, put Ghosts Are Cool! somewhere in your character profile.

Username: Nytie
Character Name: Shandera
Human or Spirit: Spirit
Gender: Male
Appearance: Shandera appears like a typical Japanese ghost, with a white burial kimono, pale skin, and no feet. His hair has the appearance of dark purple “flames” that float around rather than following gravity, and his eyes glow like a cat's even when there is no light to reflect in them. Small will o' wisps can be seen floating around him.
Age: He was fairly young when he died, but who knows how long ago that was.
Personality: Shandera is pretty vague. He spaces out often, sometimes right in the middle of a sentence. He's lethargic and sometimes just drifts wherever the wind blows him rather than moving on his own. If you manage to get him to talk to you, he's actually quite friendly; just don't expect to have a very long conversation. If he gets irritated with you, he'll threaten to eat your soul (even though he doesn't eat souls). The angrier he gets, the bigger and brighter his flames grow. He also seems to have a fondness for children; if he sees children playing, he'll follow them and watch, making sure they stay out of danger.
Backstory: Shandera doesn't remember many details about his life. He thinks that he died in a fire, hence his appearance, and that his unfinished business may have something to do with a loved one left behind, possibly a child or younger sibling. Lately, he spends most of his time as a ball of flame in an antique lamp (think Chandelure), which he refers to as his home. When he feels motivated to, he is searching for a human who can help him find his family.
Pokemon Based Off Of: Chandelure
Extra: Shandera is Chandelure's Japanese name. You don't have to name your character after the Pokemon they are based off of, but you can if you want to. I just like the way Shandera sounds as a name. Ghosts Are Cool!

Extras:
These are the Ghost Pokemon you can base your spirit character off of.
-Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar
-Misdreavus and Mismagius
-Duskull and Dusclops
-Shuppet and Banette
-Shedinja
-Sableye
-Drifloon and Drifblim
-Froslass
-Yamask and Cofigrigus
-Litwick, Lampent, and Chandelure
-Frillish and Jellicent
-Golett and Golurk
I've left out Dusknoir (because he's an NPC), Giratina (for obvious reasons), and Rotom because I'm not really sure what the deal with that thing is. Is it a Legendary, is it not? I don't know. If someone bases their character off of Rotom, I'll probably just say okay anyway. Also, if you want to base your spirit character off of the original pre-Sliph Scope Ghost, that would be okay too.
Ideas for human characters would be the Channelers/Mediums from the games, Psychic pokemon, etc.
