MAIN STORY:
(sci-fi/paranormal/fantasy genre)
(TBE as needed/details are hammered out)
Four (five) roomates. One house. All gifted in some way.
Anything is fair game, from speaking and controlling the dead
to being undead youself.
Things have been changing. Something foul is afoot.
Restlessness among the dead has increased, and then suddenly, they (too?) start disappearing.
On top of this, between classes and wavering realtionships, the mood at the apartment has been tense.
Degree by degree, the situation worsens until it can no longer be ignored, and what assumptions have been made are thrown to the wind in a determination to investigate.
It's not a simple matter of dissatisfied spirits, or the presense of an exorscist in town, or a sudden push towards cleansing, etc, etc.
An alien invasion is occuring right under our noses.
Maybe it's because they're icorporoal beings, or because they have such complete power to strike at the mind, but only those of us who are different have noticed them.
So what do four (five) old friends with special abilities do with this information when going public would label them loonies?
Why, they create a super-team, of course.
ALIENS' GOAL/PURPOSE?:
Trapping/stealing spirits?
Control of body?
BODY SNATCHERS? O U O ?
But what do they want?
Resources? food? Entertainment? Practice?
Aliens (all subject to change):
Alien creatures with three stages in life:
1. Children
Cute little fluffy cuddley things.
Short life spans, resiliant.
These creatures die and enter stage two
2. Bodyless
Techanically, in this stage, dead
(i.e., stage one is life, stage two is death, and stage three is (sort of) rebirth)
While stage ones are sweet and cuddley,
stage twos are pretty much the opposite
Stage two is the longest and most emotional stage
If enlightenment is reached, move on to stage three.
If not, eventually fade.
Second stage prepares for third stage
3. Possession
lifeform grows new form
slug-like creature
crawls into brain and steals the life of its host
Stage two and three what we care about,
as they're the ones trying to take us over
