fandomhigh_ooc | Ghost-Con Character Applications

They goes here!

For putting your multiple heads together about characters, panels, and shenanigans.

A note for con-goers: we've edited the application to add the option of having a table/booth in the exhibit hall/dealer's room/artist alley, if you'd like your ghostie character to do something besides wander around, but don't want to organize a panel/workshop. Just let us know what they're selling/promoting/offering in the app, so we can give you an OCD thread in the convention posts.

Panels and/or Workshops to be run by your Ghost (if desired):Yeah no they're mostly coming to bitch about their chain situation.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay) Nopers! They have to get back to Dickensian London to sing menacingly at Michael Caine.

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess: Names, or n/a because they just plan to be evil and terrorize people

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities (e.g. Freddy Krueger can invade people's dreams, etc.), potential issues you see with the character showing up, or other things you want to tell us? ("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.) They're total assholes and will laugh loudly at you and comment on what you're doing. And they're noisy because chains. OH AND THEY CAN TURN DOORKNOBS INTO THE SHAPES OF THEIR HEADS but I probably won't do that here.

Jono. So, so possessing Jono.

Beetlejuice is an asshole, okay. An insane, shapeshifting, trickster asshole. He'll cause as much mayhem as absolutely possible. And probably replace Jono's wardrobe with black and white striped clothing. But any shenanigans/messing with people will be discussed with people beforehand, because while he's a dick, I'm not, so much.

("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.)
Bob is a sorcerer. He can do all kinds of magic, although he's fairly limited by not being able to physically interact with things. Also, he's very likely to change sides at some point and help the good guys; he just really misses being physical.

NPC Journal for Ghost:

filthy_world

Panels and/or Workshops to be run by your Ghost (if desired): I'd like to flesh this out in the brainstorming section, but maybe he could run a self-help workshop for the "formerly" evil.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay) Yes. Oh, so very yes.

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess:
Alana! She doesn't get tortured enough.

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities: He has more physical presence than most ghosts. As in, people can be around him for quite a while without knowing he's not alive and he can get a lady pregnant. And he's a completely insane school shooter/murderer/rapist, so clearly he's quite a charming sort.

Obligatory disclaimer: I know Tate's triggery as hell just by the nature of the character. I'll put warnings in the subject lines and use cut-tags as necessary so people who would rather stay away form his more disturbing past deeds can. He does however consider himself reformed at the post-canon point from which I'm pulling him. Obviously that won't last when possession becomes an option, but points for trying?

Panels and/or Workshops [or a table promoting/selling something in the Exhibit Hall/Artists' Alley if you'd prefer more casual interaction] to be run by your Ghost (if desired): Yeah, dude is not that organized.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay) Y. So Y.

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess: Names, or n/a because they just plan to be evil and terrorize people All of them! By which I mean he will cycle through Pinkie, Roland, and Raven, before finally settling on Eliot

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities (e.g. Freddy Krueger can invade people's dreams, etc.), potential issues you see with the character showing up, or other things you want to tell us? ("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.) Can either look like a traditional ghost (ie. blue and see through version of what he looked like when he died) or like the Grim Reaper (ie. an anthropomorphic brown blanket with claws and a big ass scythe). Not that he's visible to regular folks, but for those who can see ghosts/other ghosts, this second form can be super creepy. He puts glowing red numbers on the foreheads of his intended victims -- again, not visible to most folks, but for those who can see it, spooooooookyyyyyyyyy.

There may be some lurking around nubile young women looking for a new murder bride (god I love this canon). Lurking and other nasty behaviors will be entirely OOCly consensual, and may actually end up just focussed on my own characters.

(This is the spree/serial killer obsessed with upping his body count I asked about, but I spent literally all day yesterday working out how to make him creepy without actually killing anybody. IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIS GIRL!

GOD I LOVE THAT CANON TOO. I just re-watched it this year.

I was SORELY TEMPTED to go with Agent Danvers (lj name "assholewanuzi", or perhaps "roadmapofpain"). I possibly still will. EVERY GHOST IN THIS MOVIE WAS CONSIDERED.

N/A - Constance just plans on terrorizing anyone in her way (and possibly trying to down people by pushing them off the Causeway)

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities Like most SPN ghosts, she can disappear and reappear very very quickly, move things around without touching them, and tends to attack men who have cheated (or just flirted with her). She can kill with prolonged contact. She also possessed the Impala once (!) but that shouldn't be an issue in Fandom. Unless people hang out with her in the car park.

Kenzi

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities)

My character would like to change sides at some point! She's basically a good person, just was very desperate to see her husband again, and isn't really ready to believe she's actually for-good-dead yet. If that angle can be resolved, then she'll want to keep people safe, and be sorry about any trouble she caused Kenzi.

Edited 2014-11-22 05:42 (UTC)

Anyone who wants to join in Malcolm's "Resolving Past Live Issues" panel is welcome. Focus is on finding a good medium, not traumatizing them to the point they can't help, visiting family that's still alive, and accepting what can't be changed and finding substitute coping mechanisms.

His favorite nephew, Derek Hale.

("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.)
...he can do a dramatic monologue. Like all TW villains. And has knowledge of random crap that is necessary for what could, on a better show, be called the 'plot'.

Though this'll be season 2 'I'm gonna traumatize the banshee until she helps me back into my body' Peter. Deep v-neck shirts are imminent. If possible, I'd like to specify this version of Peter as Derek's. Since it ties in so nicely with him destroying Peter's body to prevent this.

Which didn't quite work. Oops.

N. She's much too nice.

Anybody wanna maybe co-run something with Barbara? She could do something about haunting or something and be woefully under-nasty about it.

*cackling* It would be cool if you did! I don't want Malcolm to have to do this by himself. Heh.

No panels, but he'll definitely be manning a table handing out informational pamphlets on overcoming crippling shyness around the living, how to survive an encounter with a plumber, and advertising a pleasant retirement community for former evil monsters of all kinds in beautiful Monstro Town, where the living rarely wander.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay)

Oh, definitely.

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess: Names, or n/a because they just plan to be evil and terrorize people

For the most part, Boo's just going to be terrorizing. It's kind of what Boos do (unless there are races to be had). But he'll definitely give possession a try, to see what all the hype is about. Probably Sparkle or Nikolai.

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities (e.g. Freddy Krueger can invade people's dreams, etc.), potential issues you see with the character showing up, or other things you want to tell us? ("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.)

Aside from a weird combination of extreme shyness (he'll freeze up and cover his eyes if any of the living look directly at him) and over-inflated ego (The Big Boo in Mario RPG is actually just a regular-sized Boo, hanging out with a Dry Bones and a Greaper and pestering Mario in his sleep), he has no real special powers above and beyond what any Boo in the game can do. Teleportation, command of some lightning magic, and weakening people by screaming or making scary faces at them are all within his arsenal, and he won't hesitate to bust them out if he feels threatened.

Mostly, though, he just wants to mess with people by trying to talk them into playing games with him while they're sleeping. Mario villains don't get too villainous, really.

NPC Journal for Ghost:

she_neversleeps

Panels and/or Workshops [or a table promoting/selling something in the Exhibit Hall/Artists' Alley if you'd prefer more casual interaction] to be run by your Ghost (if desired): Video Screening Room. (Samara won't be running it; it'll just be there as a thread for characters to interact in.) Playing the Cursed Ring Video 24/7. Not even on purpose; Samara's presence at the convention will just make the video play. Said video won't have any effect on ghosts, though, besides presumably boring them once it starts to repeat. Characters can also use the equipment to play their own (meta) movies; it's a fairly polite curse when it comes to sharing broadcast space with other ghosts.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay) Oh yes. Indeedy deed.

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess: Names, or n/a because they just plan to be evil and terrorize people Samara's tried the possession thing before; it didn't work out well. Instead, she's just going share her pain with everyone she can in Fandom, by screening her film at the MST3k Theatre on Wednesday, then doing her "Seven daaaaaays..." haunting schtick on anyone who watched it. (Since the ghosts will all get banished from the island before those seven days are up, ain't nobody gonna die; they'll just see some scary crap, have some nightmares, cough up some electrodes, get a nosebleed, almost drown in the bathtub. As you do.) She might crawl out of a few tvs just to scare folks, but she won't be able to kill them yet.

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities (e.g. Freddy Krueger can invade people's dreams, etc.), potential issues you see with the character showing up, or other things you want to tell us? ("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.)

Samara can give people hallucinations/nightmares of images from her life (the kind of things seen on the tape) and make some of those things affect her victims in the physical world (especially if it involves water). She can also imprint those images on various media (tape, x-rays, probably computers, as well as burning them into flat surfaces like walls). She scares the crap out of and has some control over animals, which she'll probably make use of during the finale fighty.

She might appear to anybody (canonically it's probably only the psychically sensitive, but since Ingvar is boosting all the ghosts...) but she can only physically harm those who've seen her video.

Panels and/or Workshops [or a table promoting/selling something in the Exhibit Hall/Artists' Alley if you'd prefer more casual interaction] to be run by your Ghost (if desired): The boys are running an information booth on the Judgement Bureau and the Summons Department. Flyers, brochures, etc. They will also be helping with any panels that need a bureaucrat/investigator presence! Or, if there's dessert.

Staying for the BDE?: Y/N (remember, only evil or desperate-for-a-body ghosts can stay) No. Sadly. My boys work for the government, though, if you need an official presence? Or if there's dessert?

If staying, FH character(s) (played by you) the Ghost will attempt to possess: Names, or n/a because they just plan to be evil and terrorize people Is eating the entire stock of JGOB evil and terrorizing? Cause Tsuzuki would be... okay. Fine. N/A

Any special powers beyond basic haunting and possession abilities (e.g. Freddy Krueger can invade people's dreams, etc.), potential issues you see with the character showing up, or other things you want to tell us? ("My character would like to change sides at some point and help the good guys" would also go here.)Both Tsuzuki and Hisoka can use spells and magic, especially fuda. Tsuzuki is really well known and respected in his world of the gods (he has personal contracts with 12 of the most powerful and has attempted more). He's also extremely knowledgable about demons and gods and afterlife stuff. And desserts. He is apparently the next in line for the king of hell's throne, he's that powerful. >.> Not that he seems like it if you don't know him.

Hisoka is empathic with very little control over it.

None of that will likely come up in this plot. Probably. They're both government employees? And poor? (Tsuzuki keeps destroying stuff or breaking rules and being fined and then borrowing money from Hisoka)

Edited 2014-11-24 06:31 (UTC)

I want to throw one or both of my boys in here! Am still trying to think who would be best at it, Hisoka or Tsuzuki. Hmmm.

Eeeeeeeeeee! <3 <3 <3 I love this canon! I'm super excited to see them on the island!

Everybody above this line is good to go. Sally forth and brainstorm about these characters to your hearts' content.

Santa-MP checking in to say that all characters applied so far are good to go!
