Regret.

It's a word everyone knows. It's something everyone has.

But what if the regret was so great, even after death, it bound you to earth? Some spirits, known more casually as "ghosts," remain in the land of the living. Usually, they're bound to an item considered to be their most treasured possession, ranging from something as simple as a doll to a priceless necklace. They're destined to wander forever in deep sorrow.

But what if they didn't have to? What if, a chosen few, could save the said-to-be lost spirits and help them repent for what keeps them in the living world? In an average neighborhood, on a grassy hill, a large mansion sits. The outside, and the majority of the inside, is burned from a fire that began long ago, and citizens often argue the place should be torn down. However, when one gets near such a place, even in a machine that might be used to knock it down, they begin to feel strange. These people are all recorded to have become extremely ill and all are said to have died.

Because of the damage it's hard to tell the place's age, but elder citizens up to age 93(the oldest living person in the neighborhood) can remember it being there during their childhood. However, there is something even stranger about the place then just it's incredibly long age. If you walk up the four flights of stairs and turn to your left, there will be a single door. This door shows no sign of aging, and has not been charred at all. The wood is still shining beautifully, the frame lined in gold.

The inside of the room appears to be like any other attic: various objects from different periods of time are scattered about. Simple things such as an old piano lined up against the right wall and an old towering wardrobe shuffled into a back corner, the locked door missing its key. A glass case that once held a doll is set on a wooden oak desk filled with papers written with ink long faded. If one would turn to leave the room, only then would they see. One side of the door, unlike the other, is damaged.

Someone seems to have carved many dates on it. These dates are not random, but most would be too edgy to consider the possibilities; considering, of course, they were brave enough to get that far in the first place.

The mansion remains untouched, unbothered; but the spirits within are restless. Are you brave enough to save them?

1. No art theft! Please do not alter the art (unless you're making a signature). If we find out that art theft is happening, the person responsible will be black listed and permanantly banned from Phasmatis, along with being reported to a moderator.
2. Please be respectful. No whining, flaming, or fighting. We'd really like to avoid causing dissent on the thread. If you really need to argue with someone, please do it privately.
3. Do not PM for availability. If the thread says no more Phasmatis are available, there are none.
4. Please save all artwork to your own server! Otherwise, our poor little photobucket account might curl up and die. ;-;
5. Read the entire front page before asking questions. It makes for alot less swamping of our poor message boxes. xD
6. The NPCs can kick your a**. While you're in the mansion, the ghosts and spirits will be stronger than you. Don't like it? Tough. It's hard to plot things when a character constantly resists and such.


Activity Rules


1. All Phasmatis need a journal! Phasmatis are journal pets, meaning you need to actually POST in your journal to keep them growing and active. If your journal goes three weeks without having a post (without prior notice to one of us), you run a serious risk of having your Phasmatis taken from you.
2. Journals MUST be set up before your Phasmatis can grow.
3. Roleplay activity is a must. If you go two weeks without showing up at the thread (with no warning), even OOC, you will be sent a PM about your activity. Four weeks without response and you will lose your Phasmatis. If you do not roleplay your Phasmatis without a legitimate excuse for three weeks, you will be sent a PM. If you do not respond within two weeks, your Phasmatis will be taken and readopted out.

.Possessions.
Possessions, or Items, are the objects that a Phasmatis has connected itself to in death. It contains a spirit that needs to somehow be released. It can be anything that was close to the person in their life, such as an old record, a piece of furniture, or a favorite toy.

.Infant.
Your Phasmatis has been successfully released from it's possession! Like human babies, your Phasmatis is most likely bald or has very short hair. For the most part, Phasmatis infants look very human.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is very, very important to keep the possession your Phasmatis was bound to away from the child! It may not be safe for the Phasmatis to come into contact with the item until it is an older teen or an adult. Otherwise, there is a risk of re-bonding: meaning your Phasmatis will dissapear back into it's object and you'll have to release it all over again!

.Toddler.
Your Phasmatis has grown from an infant to a toddler somehow! He or she is probably starting to walk and talk by now. A few of the Phasmatis may be forming odd bruises or cuts at this stage and will definately be bringing some more mystery to the proverbial table.

.Child.
Your Phasmatis is a child! They should be doing everything a regular human child would be at the age of ten or eleven: reading, playing sports, who knows! Some Phasmatis may begin to develop some odd physical or skills at this point. Often, A Phasmatis child may have picked up some strange characteristics from the Spirit World.

.Teen.
Mood swings ahoy! Your Phasmatis is a teen! At this point, they may be able to come into contact with their possession again but be very careful! They also may begin to remember various things about their past, though whether they tell you about these visions will be up to them. They may star getting very curious about their past life and it's up to you to find out how to help them.

.Young Adult.
By now, you've either already found out what your Phasmatis' past regret was in it's other life or you're very very close! Before much more development can happen, they'll have to find it out if you haven't already. At this stage, Phasmatis can breed with others but ONLY if they've already solved the mystery of their past life.

.Adult.
At this point, your Phasmatis has gone 'to terms' with their regret. They've done something about it, whatever it was: whether it means rectifying some mistake or doing something they never accomplished in their past life.

Characters that have appeared about the house thus far.


User Image
Andraste


Andraste (Ann for short) has been commonly seen wandering about the uppermost levels of the house, including the strange undamaged attic where at the Phasmas' seem to be stored. She looks to be somewhere in her early or middling teens, with half her face covered by her red hair. She commonly is seen playing with dolls and, when approached, seems she can be highly threatening and is unarguably more than a little creepy. Thus far, the reason she haunts the house is unknown.

Status: Spirit
Gender: Female


User Image
Alistair


This unknown boy has been seen watching people from the staircases or doorways. He seems to stick predominantly to the lower levels of the house. He closesly resembles the girl Andraste seen in the upper levels of the house and also seems to be about the same age. The boy is badly burned on the left side of his face and on his left hand. Seeing as no one has approached him (or he tends to scatter when they do), not much is known about the boy.

Status: ???
Gender: Male


User Image
Shadow Things


Ocassionally throughout the house, shadows that shouldn't be there have been seen, along with phantom voices whispering from what seems like blocked corridors and from the walls. Whether these shadows are responsible for these voices or if it's all just tricks of the eye, it's unknown.

Status: ???
Gender: ???


The Librarian


This lady is really sort of creepy, not to mention sort of grumpy and mean. She manifests most often in the library at the top floor of the house (accessible by a door at the back of the attic). Apparently she's very protective of her books and the library. She doesn't seem to like children much...

All sales will be done either by flatsale, auction, raffle, customs or pet trades.


.Flatsales.
Most Phasmatis will be made available through flatsales. Flatsales with be conducted by the posting of a prompt that you have a set time limit to respond to. All prompt responses should be posted in reply to the flatsale board. Typically, a Phasmatis will be sold for 10K.


Flatsale Prompt Example
Your Phasmatis wants to try out a new hobby! It can be anything from a sport to scrap-booking. Explain how your Phasmatis decides what to try out and how you get him or her started with it, along with whether the excursion is a total flop or a big success.


Planned Flatsales
none planned


.Auctions.
Auctions will probably not be very common in the Phasmatis world. When there is one, however, there will be a new Auction thread put up for the sale and people interested can bid on the Possessions available.


Planned Auctions
none planned


.Raffles.
Raffles will probably be fairly more common than Auctions but not nearly as common as flatsales. Raffles will, again, get a thread of their own where interested parties can buy tickets for the raffle. At the end of the raffle date, a winnner will be picked with a randomizer and they will get the Phasmatis up for sale.


Planned Raffles
none planned


.Custom Slots.
Custom slots will open ocassionally when Pukio has a bit of time on her hands and is feeling particularly bored. Whoo. Be sure to check every now and then to see when custom slots open up. When inquiring about a custom Phasmatis, PLEASE PM the shop account (Phasma HQ) rather than posting here on the thread. Below is the custom Phasmatis form that needs to be filled out.

The Pukio


Aloha all! ~<3 I'm Pukio, the artist/colorist/certist of Phasmatis. Uh, lessee. I suppose this should be interesting or something (read: but it probably won't be). A few facts about the Pukio:

- She is 17 and homeschooled and has more time on her hands than she knows what to do with, but usually procrastinates anyway.
- She owns a horse named Mirage and luffles him to death.
- She likes chocolate?
- She's been RP-ing since forever and ever (but not really -- this is a lie).

Oh yeah. >O *pumps fist in the air*
The Noyama


User Image


Word...or something. I'm Noyama, co-owner. I help with the layout, deal with PMs, fights, help with prompts, contests, RP events, all that stuff and anything Pukio doesn't feel like doing.

Random!

-Noya is 16.
-Noya likes animals. <3
-Noya rides (but doesn't 'own') a horse named Missy.
-Noya likes anime (subbed anime, dubbed=bad most of the time).
((*dance* Whoo! Open for business once again! heart ))
