October 17 1901

Every one has gathered at the Jacobsons Funeral Home to honor the recently departed Bradstreet family. The family was murdered by six year old Mina Bradstreet. She died in the fire that burned down the West Wing of the Bradstreet residence. No one knows what provoked young Mina to kill her family, and the cause shall forever remain a mystery. The family was murdered on Friday, October 13 1901. The departed includes Vincent Bradstreet and his wife Elizabeth and their three children John (17) Taylor (13) and Mina (6). The house is still standing, although the west wing is in ruins. The city council has declared that the house shall forever stand as a memorial to the Bradstreet family.

Background Story

Vincent Bradstreet, a wealthy man and owner of the local law firm. His wife, Elizabeth, was the talk of the town, she was always wearing what was fashionable and always had the best gossip. John, their son who was 17 at the time of death had a promising future as a lawyer. Taylor, their eldest daughter was an aspiring artist, probably better than everyone in her family. From what you hear, it seems like every one in the Bradstreet family was successful and had a promising future. That is until you hear about their youngest daughter, Mina.

Mina was a troubled child, always playing disturbing games by herself. She would tear the heads off of her dolls and burry them in the backyard. She was naturally disturbed and nothing her parents did seemed to sooth her sadistic nature. They took her to the best therapists and doctors they could find, both in and out of New York, but nothing seemed to help.

None of the neighborhood children would ever play with little Mina and this sent her into a spiraling depression. She was six years old and wanted nothing more than to have a friend, someone who would understand her and never judge her. Every night she would sneak out of bed, go down the stairs and light a candle. She would stare into the candle flame for hours, wishing for a friend. One night her wish came true. She heard a voice coming from the candle flame. It told her that she now had a friend, although she could not see her new companion. Mina was over joyed. She would tell her new friend everything, and the voice always understood.

One night, Vincent grew tired with his child's behavior. He planned to ship her off to the nearest mental hospital, where she would be 'helped.' Mina overheard her parents talking and was outraged. She immediately told her new friend about her problem and of course her friend understood. Then her friend told her something disturbing, something Mina couldn't understand. "I can make your parents go away. I can make them leave you forever. I can take then away, someplace they can never escape. Let me do it Mina, let me help you get rid of them." Mina didn't know what to do. She ran crying down the stairs but the voice was desperate to help her, the voice took control of the little girl's body. It forced Mina to stab her parents at midnight on Friday the thirteenth. It forced her to kill any witnesses, her siblings. They slept in the west wing of the mansion and the voice forced Mina to burn in it to the ground. Mina took control of her body and made sure both she and the voice died that night in the fire, along with the rest of her family...

108 Years Later


After the death of the family, the Bradstreet's house was left abandoned. The house was named Enkanta Manor (Enkanta is a name meaning solitude and peace.) Now, 108 years later the mansion is being reopened, as a historical sight for a select group who wish to enter. A contest was held and only sixteen people were chosen to come and stay in the manor. The contest winners were sent a letter...

Dear _____,

You have been chosen out of thousands of applicants to come and spend a month at Enkanta Manor. Congratulations. Enclosed in this letter is a copy of the news articles published about the house after the family died. You are not expected to read these, but it will help you get to know more about the manor. We also ask that you DO NOT vandalize or destroy anything in the manor, such behavior will result in the termination of your trip. We expect you to arrive at the Manor gates on Friday, October 13 at 7:00 pm. So go pack your bags and we hope you enjoy your stay at Enkanta Manor.




The mansion is not as it seems. After the death of the family there was a huge spike in spiritual pressure in the mansion. This lured many spirits to come and take shelter within it's walls. These spirits, were people who had died before the manor had been left abandoned. Over the years they have become restless. But the spirits are not the only ones who have taken shelter in the mansion's wall. There are more. Demonic Presences have somehow found there way into the manor. No one knows for sure how they arrived but they don't seem to be leaving any time soon. The Presences love to reek havoc and cause trouble, so they require someone to watch over the. This is where the angels come in. The Angels were sent to the manor in order to keep the demons in line, and to keep them from escaping the mansion. Rumors have been spread through out the human world about these creatures, although whether or not they are believable is something you must decide for yourself.

Characters, Profile Skeletons


Humans
The humans are the people who are coming to stay at the mansion. They each have their own reasons for being here and may or may not believe in the spirits that are rumored to be at the manor. The humans are power-less meaning that they CANNOT be telepathic, telekinetic, an elemental, or anything of the sort. They are humans, nothing more or less. When a human dies they either become a spirit or they disappear forever.

They call me (full name)
But I prefer (nickname)
There are (age) candles on my cake
My life is pretty interesting (bio)
I came to this house because (reason for wanting to come)
Get it away (fear)
I Almost forgot (others, can be pets)
When I look in the mirror (appearance, anime only)

Spirits
The spirits died sometime before the manor was abandoned. They seek shelter in the mansion and were humans before they died. After death they were granted certain powers. These powers are limited and mainly consist of possession, telekinesis, fazing through solid objects, floating or become invisible. They still can become hungry, tired and can still feel things, although it is limited.

They call me (full name)
But I prefer (nickname)
I was (age) when I died
My life is pretty interesting (bio, include how you died)
I've been dead since (date of death (month, day, year)
I Almost forgot (others, can be pets)
When I look in the mirror (appearance, anime only)

Demonic Presences
The demonic presences never lived and cannot die of natural causes. They only appear when summoned. The place that they come from has many names, Hell, the portal, the gates, ect. There are certain symbols you must draw in order to open the gates and only certain people have the power to do it. They have their own powers which are much more powerful than the spirits.

Angels
The angels are similar to the presences. They are also immortal. When a demon is summoned an angel is sent to send them back into the gates. They are in the mansion to keep the demon's from escaping. In doing so they placed an enchantment around the mansion making it so that anyone who enters may not leave the perimeter of the mansion's property. They also have powers.

Dreams and Nightmares


http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/229/229247zrid7xsbib.gif


Dreams. A possible escape from the real world. Someplace where everything and anything is possible. Everyone dreams, whether or not they remember it after waking. Most people enjoy dreaming, bringing it into the day to escape their problems. But not all dreams are sweet. Nightmares happen more often than not. They expose your true fears and send you spiraling into a world of darkness, where hope seems like a distant idea.

Lucky for you, nightmares are just figments of your imagination. They personify things that scare you, sometimes things you don't understand. But what would you do if you were suddenly sucked into the world of nightmares? What if you couldn't escape? What if your greatest fears came to life?


http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/185/185499fkwlunybl0.gif
     
Waking up



It's late at night, everything is quiet and the summer heat has dulled down. You climb into your bed, turn off the light and drift off to sleep. Wishing, no expecting good dreams you allow yourself to drift off quickly. So far your dreams are pleasant but they soon become dark. Horrible thoughts loam around you and cause you to toss and turn in your bed. A nightmare has come. In a desperate attempt to free yourself of this horrid dream you wake. You sit up immediatly, sweat rolling down your face. You expect the comforts of your room, perhaps a pet to make sure your okay. You don't see anything familar. Your room has changed. Everything in it is dark and almost medieval looking. Where are you? You walk out of the door not knowing that something waits for your arrival...

http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/185/185499fkwlunybl0.gif

Nightmares

There is no hope.


You have woken up in a strange world. The world where nightmares live. Nightmares are horrible demons that cause humans to experience their greatest fears while sleeping. These black souls grow bored and restless. They climb into peoples dreams, hoping to cause disstress and chaos but the minute the human wakes up the nightmare is scent back to their horrible world, where they are trapped. They cannot hope to escape unless a human becomes to scared by the nightmare that they begin to see visions of it when they are awake. This is every Nightmare's goal.

In order to acheive freedom they are trying a different tactic. Instead of traveling to the human's world they are bringing them to their world. No one knows how this happened but now a group of humans has woken up in a dark and frightening castle. Now they are the ones who can't escape.

http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/229/229247zrid7xsbib.gif

Dreams

There is hope

But of course there has to be something to give these poor humans hope. Dreams. They reside in this world as well, but in a different area. They live in a large castle not to far away from the Nightmares. They live in peace, taking plessure in giving humans pleasant dreams. Dreams have often been compared to angels.

When they are alerted of the humans arrival in Nightmare castle they are outraged. They can't bring the humans back to their world but that doesn't stop them from trying. They go to the dark castle and try to protect these humans, they try to keep the Nightmares in line.
 
     
 
Rules

http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/185/185499fkwlunybl0.gif

The big no nos'Ⓗ Do not cyber, god-mod, auto-hit, or powerplay. If I see any of that you will be given the boot. I hate spamming, so don't do it.
ProfilesⒽ Please pm me all profiles. If you post them then you will be ignored. Title the pms' 'I hope there is hope.' if you are human. 'There is no hope.' if you are a nightmare. 'There is hope.' If you are a dream. This is so I know what you are and what roleplay you are applying to (I have quite a few). Do not post until I have accepted your profiles. If you do you will be given a warning.
PostingⒽ This is a semi lit-lit roleplay. That means I want AT LEAST a paragraph. If you don't know how long that is, in my opinion it's morr than 5 sentences per post. I love pretty posts so go crazy with the pictures and pretty texts. Do not stop posting. If you no longer wish to continue tell me, it won't hurt my feelings I swear. If you do not post for three weeks without any warning you will hear from me.
RomanceⒽ Romance is encouraged, it adds drama (most of the time) but don't go overboard. I don't want to read two pages of you making out. Also, keep it in your pants. Once the clothes start coming off, time skip. I don't want you going near that stuff so if you are only here to get hot and heavy, get out now. I don't even want you taking it to pms'.
ViolenceⒽ Violence is something that I doubt can be avoided in this roleplay, but don't go overboard. I love gore and blood as much as the next person but let's be considerate of those with a weaker stomach.
I'll add more rules if I need to.

     
I love me the skunk plushies. Send me some?

The name's Katie. That's all you need to know.
