It's been a long time since they knew. Since those people in black knew of your powers, and of that black manor where the skies are never bright.
You were walking down the streets of that familiar neighborhood. The sun was setting, casting a warm hue over everything. Home was not too far.
A dark green van pulled beside you, the door opened to show two men in black. Your pace quickened. But before you were able to look back something, or someone, struck your head, leaving you unconscious.
You woke up; though, in a different place. Other people lay by your side, beginning to wake up. You ran to the nearest window, catching a glimpse of the shadow of a green van slip through the trees of a forest.
All that is left was the forest, the cloudy gray skies, the manor, and the few people.

Why?
It was planned a long time ago. Scientists who were interested in the supernatural decided to make a study: What would be the reaction when supernatural is in contact with other supernatural?
This study led the scientist to make studies on certain people that they felt were possible subjects, people with supernatural powers, that is. To begin their experimenting they found an isolated location. Trees covered the vast terrain that separated the test subjects from their home.
They chose a black manor in the middle of nowhere. They never questioned why there was never sunlight. "Maybe it's just the climate," they said. They were wrong. They entered the manor, searched, filled it with food, and installed plumbing, all the while not noticing that something was there.
It was the day. Their plan was put to action. A few teens were selected and abducted. Thrown into the black manor, the experiment began. They would come back in thirty days. Everything will be fine . . . right?

Where?Floor 1 -
Entrance Hall - Nothing more to say. Just a tall room that connects all the first floor rooms and a flight of stairs leading to the second floor.
Dining Room - A large room with a low ceiling, wooden floors, and dim chandelier lighting. In the center is a large, polished, redwood table with silverware placed neatly beside decorated plates.
Kitchen – White counter tops, silver sinks, rusting pipes, clean cooking utensils, two windows on two walls, spices, a cupboard, and refrigerator.
Bathroom - Separate from boys and girls. It has dim lamplight, marble flooring, marble counter tops, the mirrors are clear with a bit of dust covering its surface. The showers are separated by glass. (If you really care that much, extra toilet paper is in the drawers.)
Pool – A small pool with no water. It is next to the bathrooms.
Courtyard – Located in the back of the manor, it is rather big. Plants and weeds pop out here and there in between the cobblestone-paved floor. In the center is a water fountain that no longer spurts water, but residual water left from rains have collected inside, with green moss waving blissfully from under the water.Floor 2 –Bedrooms (6 rooms x 2 people) – Each bedroom has two beds, two lamps, a mirror (placed on top of a wooden drawer), a bedside desk (with a table lamp), a closet, and two windows on the same wall. Velvet curtains touching the crimson rugged floor cover the windows, letting in very little light.
Library – A large library, taking up one-third of the second floor, that contains collections of encyclopedias, dictionaries, biographies, studies of sciences, and a mysterious set of books about supernatural occurrences. Also available is a set of books about the history of the manor. Tables and chairs with individual cubicles and lamps are provided. Small windows line the ceiling. The floor is carpeted, muffling the footsteps of a browser.
Common – A large room with a rug spread across a decorated marble floor. One large chandelier and three small ones light it. Six armchairs surround a lit fireplace.Quote: ((The house is in dull colors. A dark brown, almost black roof, and walls (outside) that is a warm hue of gray. It's a pretty old house and has weeds growing here and there. Some parts of the house have ivy climbing up its walls. The windows are clear, as if they were cleaned. Wood items are usually dark wood, red wood painted over with a dark violet-like color. Oh yes, general. Dull and grim. Looks like it survived from the middle ages. If you want a picture, it looks a bit like this.))

Who?NPCs
1/?Quote: Name { ??? }
Age { 8 }
Abilities { She can contact the physical world. Like all poltergeists she can throw things, lock doors, and basically be of a nuisance. Most messages of ghosts and such are either garbled or difficult to understand, but if it is strong enough the message would be made loud and clear. }
Bio { A poltergeist who haunts the Black manor for some unknown reason. [revealed as RP advances] }
Personality { All we know now is that she is vengeful and likes to make people suffer. }
Appearance { Though usually people don't see poltergeists the ones who can see will notice that this certain poltergeist is of a female child. This "child" has bronze-red hair with curls at the end, very pale skin, and lifeless green-gray eyes. }
Identification { Her text will be in this color } Quote: (( I've already had a rough storyline planned out.
The scientists are just people who had miscalculations. They were put in to the story so the abduction makes sense.
Poltergeists:
x Usually children.
x Does pranks, but doesn't really know what's severe and what's not.
x They can move things, no matter the weight or mass.
x They are invisible, but an exception to Stevan.
x Our particular poltergeist has a past, and it isn't a happy one.
x No one can control poltergeists. Well, certain people can, but not in this story.
Sorry for the insufficient amount of information I have provided for this RP.))

Who?Accepted Applications
10/10Quote: Username { Takeda Chiyoko }
Player Name { Olivia Su }
Age {16}
Gender { Female }
Gift { Heightened sense of hearing }
Bio { Ever since she was a child Olivia has been hearing voices, just mere whispers all around her. She did not understand why all the other children and adults did not hear it. The fact that the voices followed her only scared her and drove her to cling to the nearest person. Her parents have brought her to specialists to attend to her “problems” but the voices still haunted her. Most of the time the voices were inaudible, but every now and then she could hear a clear word or two. To stop her parents from spending further money, on what she thought to be a hopeless goal, Olivia insists that she no longer hears the voices. She is used to the voices now (and finds them to be of a nuisance), but out of habit she tries to drown the voices by blasting her music, wearing thick earmuffs, and avoiding places of “silence” (e.g. library, cemeteries, empty buildings). }
Personality { From slight hearing damage and too much focus on the voices, Olivia sometimes , while deep into thought, does not seem to notice her surroundings. As for communicating with other people, Olivia tries not to talk too much, due to the habit of concealing her “gift” so she would not seem insane. Sometimes, she finds the nervous fear that she felt as a child creeping back into her mind and wishes to be in a joyous and loud environment to drown the voices out and be near other people. As she had found out in middle school, work prevented the voices from overriding her head, so Olivia enjoys observing and studying surroundings, objects, and places (which also contributes to her absent-minded times). }
Appearance { Link } Quote: Username {hideyyo}
Player Name {Stevan Bradley}
Age {15}
Gender {male}
Gift {Sensitive (can see ghosts when others just see the affects of ghosts)}
Bio {Stevan Bradley since he was a baby would see things that weren't there. When he was 5, he started talking to thin air. His parents thought that Stevan was crazy, so they sent him to a mental institution. He spent most of his life there, giving him electroshock therapy when it was unnecessary. He was walking his way back to home while being in the institute for 5 years, and that's when he was kidnapped}
Personality {Brad is a pretty nice guy. If he doesn't know you, he could get angry. Most people tried to get away from him, calling him Skitzo freak. He really tries to fit in, but the ghosts really need his help.}
Appearance {Link} Quote: Username The Pink Bagel Lord
Player Name Elon Treck
Age 19
Gender Male
Gift Super Strength
Bio Elon discovered at the age of 13 that he was stronger than most people. Before this time, the boy was often bullied because he was weak, and dumb to match. It was the greatest revelation in his life when the power emerged. His body looked no different. He was still skin and bone on the outside, but he could lift boulders. He entered college on a football scholarship, after spending several years learning how to control the strength. He is proud of his power, and has always thought it would bring him nothing but good fortune.
Personality Elon is a very outgoing and peaceful person. He likes to turn bad situations into jokes and make light of danger. It's hard to resist becoming his friend because he tries so hard to be everyone's friend. Elon also has a very short attention span, a backfire effect of his constant joking and laughing. He is loyal, huge tempered (hard to anger), and a very determined person.
Appearance Elon Quote: Username Bloodlust_Vampy
Player Name Tia Smith
Age 18
Gender female
Gift Empathy (she can feel the pain of others)
Bio When Tia was younger her parents thought she was extremely fragile. When those around her were hurt, physically, emotionally, or pyschologically, she would feel their pain and suffer through it. She was unable to control it and her parents had her locked away in a mental institute when she started speaking of the horrors others had gone through. Her 'gift' allows her to see into a person's past to the exact moment the pain occured. She is learning to control it and has come a long way. She can now control it, but only when she is focused.
Personality Due to her gift she tends to shy away from people. Physical contact is not well known to her. Affection is a foreign thing to her as well. She seems cold and uncaring to those around her, but those who get close to her see how caring she really is and that her caring for others puts her through pain.
Appearance Tia Smith Quote: Username {Keiko_Asaya}
Player Name {Caden Terry}
Age {17}
Gender {Female}
Gift {Manipulation of sound}
Bio {Caden is the yougest of four children in her family, the baby of the group and normally called the golden child. She was polite and had a wonderful gift for musical arts. Her voice brought out great emotion to anyone who heard her, and she could produce beautiful sounds from any instruments she picked up without any instructions. A musical prodigy, was what she was called, well it was a natural talent but it was more supernatural than anything. Her musical skills were just the surface, when she was in a good mood the music played to her emotions, if she was upset the song would be sad, and if she was mad the song would be furious and fast. But her parents just liked to think she was a musical genius, this was not the case, for Caden could do more than just create music. She could take away all sound from a room, voices, creaks, even the sound of the wind. Throwing her voice and mimicry were also some of her more favorite tricks. She surpassed all of the human beatboxes out there she could mimic anything down to the very miniscule tone. But these gifts she kept to herself, her parents nor her sibblings knew of that she had complete control over sounds. On the surface she was just a 14 year-old girl with a passion for music and she has appeared that way to her audience of her music for the last 3 years as well. }
Personality {Caden is very sly and misleading sort of girl, it's not very odd for her spin up some lie or big story to get her out of trouble. She's also known to cause a little trouble here and there using her powers, she's not above a few practical jokes here and there. Caden is always putting on the innocent polite child act. In this act Caden is always polite and kind to whoever is around her, she is brave and optimistic. But no one is so perfect, Caden just wants people to approve of her and like her, but in her mind she's usually panicked or highly upset. Caden is a people pleaser.}
Appearance {Caden Terry} Quote: Username { Lazui }
Player Name { Ignis Gale }
Age { 18 }
Gender { Male }
Gift {Animation (bring inanimate objects 'to life')}
Bio { When he was little, Ignis was known in his neighborhood as the strange kid that didn't like to socialize. Instead, his parents had always found him alone in his room playing with his toys. They confronted him asking why he didn't want to go outside and make friends with the other kids his age. When he responded by saying that he already had friends and gestured towards his toys, his parents simply took this as a stage of childhood and didn't think much of it... Until one of the stuffed animals Ignis introduced as his closest friend walked up to them. His parents were freaked out and believed this to be the work of poltergeists, until Ignis showed them what he could do a couple of years later. He hadn't realized that it was such a huge mistake to use his "gift" like this, until he found his parents to be very depressed and "broken". At the age of fifteen, he moved out to live on his own. }
Personality { Ignis acts very laid-back and calm. He still seems to prefer talking to objects more than actual people, but he doesn't ignore or run away from anyone. He's very stubborn and acts slightly conceited, saying only half the sentences that goes through his mind and saying that if people had any common sense, they'd be able to figure out the rest. A hard person to really understand at first, since he doesn't openly portray many emotions. But he's actually quite gentle and kind, he just tends to show it in a very round-about way. He observes and listens to his surroundings with great care, but it really looks like he's off day-dreaming from an outside observer due to his lack of movement and response. }
Appearance { Ignis } Quote: Username Nikol_Mosh
Player Name Fate Alloy
Age 17
Gender Female
Gift Manipulates shadows
Bio Fate has retrograde amnesia due to a traumatic event. Her adoptive father, James Alloy, had found her when he went skiing. He was up in the mountains where he spotted her walking around aimlessly. He adopted her after realizing she had amnesia. Fate is the name he gave her when he became her new father. Neither of them know her real name or anything else besides her real age for that matter. She has lived with him for two years not knowing she was adopted. Another thing she has no clue about, is her power to manipulate shadows. She is smart and had attended a very prestigious school.
Personality She is a very bipolar girl. The best way to describe her is like weather; you never know what's coming next. One minute she can be a party animal and within seconds she's bored and sulking around. Fate tends to fake her true emotions to others. She wears a mask of happiness while deep down, she screams for help. She hardly knows herself which affects her attitude towards others. Anyone who seems to have a good relationship with someone else or know what they truly want makes her feel useless.
Appearance [x] Fate [x] The only difference, is that she has black hair and shocking gray eyes. Quote: Username {Magnavar}
Player Name {Craig Summer}
Age {19}
Gender {Male}
Gift {Telekinesis}
Bio {Born after his dad had died. Growing up, he was forced to endure pain from the babysitter that took care of him when his mom went off to work to take care of him. After many different times of this torture, he split his personality into two different sides; in essence, yin and yang. He found out, at that point, that he could move stuff with his head, but only when he was in his violent side.
Shortly after, his mother died a "mysterious" death, but the truth was that he had fallen into a rage when she did something that hurt him, and he had made her brain implode on itself. He was transferred to the local orphanage, and the other kids didn't much care for him.
When he graduated from school, he moved out on his own. It was when he was going to his work that he was bashed forward. He blacked out, but right before hand, he saw hands connected to black suits dragging him into the van.}
Personality {Split personality. One side is violent and angry at all times. Usually only comes out with massive threats or stress to his psyche. The other side, his normal one, is calm and easy going. He tends not to attempt any violence or strife to others}
Appearance {5'11", 173 lbs. Brown hair that is closely cropped to his head, and blue-green eyes that express massive emotions. He is skinny, but not overly so.} Quote: Username Ithidan
Player Name Ithius Hakumei
Age 15
Gender Male
Gift Telepathy--He can read minds.
Bio His parents always tried to keep him from letting his powers go out of control for he never really understood them. But it did bring him great joy. His parents always loved him and kept him from ever really understanding sadness. When he was kidnapped, he subconciously triggered a part of his powers that erased his memories of his parents and of every bad event including the kidnapping so he would continue to be as happy as an inoccent child.
Personality Usually nice, happy, and sometimes outgoing. He has an inoccent and childlike attitude since he has very few memories of his past.
Appearance Ithius Quote: Name: Erin
Age: 18
Abilities: Farsight and minor foresight. (Only around a second before things happen.)
Bio: He moved around foster homes as a child and was treated badly in most of them He never had a care in the world and never stayed in one place for long. He learned how to play the piano at a young age and still plays. He loves to just stare at the stars and rarely sleeps due to his farsight. He grew up nervous and found a strange peace when working out down at the local gym.
Personality: He is a kind and caring person but his past has led him to become slightly distant and shy when around new people. He doesn't like to get too involved with people but cannot help hitting on girls. He is fun loving and charming to most people that he gets to know.
Appearance: He has brown eyes and short cropped dark brown hair. He is around 5ft11 and is quite skinny but his stomach and the rest of the muscle on his body is almost rock hard. He has slightly pale skin. He wears a white shirt and dark blue jeans. The shirt is usually done up by only a few buttons at the bottom and is slightly baggy on him.

Posts from the poltergeist.Quote: One of them saw her, one of the people in the manor's entrance hall. This was strange, and confused the poltergeist. The usual people who came by the manor just ignored her. However, she did not like visitors. She did not like people who disturb her home. This dislike evolved to hatred. People who just barge into places and ravage it with their dirty hands is exactly what drove her to rage. They were unwelcome.
But, this was also a break from the boredom. She now had something to do other than exploring the dusty halls of the Black Manor, reliving the memories of her death.
Unconsciously she drifted back to the room where she had died. A piercing shriek emitted from her mouth as she realized with terror, the horrible familiar feeling of helplessness and fear enveloped her. The poltergeist, with her hands over her ears and her faded green eyes opened wide, rammed a large polished redwood clothes drawer against the door of the room. Quickly, she recovered and sped to a different place. Any place, as long as it was away from there.

Olivia awoke, aware that her ears were still buzzing from being hit behind the head. All she remembered was walking home from the local park, and a van. Finally taking notice of her surroundings she sat up and studied the interior of the building. This place sure is big, Olivia thought.
Her eyes tried to make out the other rooms. From where she sat, six rooms were visible. The fading sunlight washed over the walls of some of the rooms, curious shadows played across the rooms. Eager to explore, Olivia was about to stand up when she realized something; absolute silence filled her ears. This silence was deafening; nervousness, fear, and confusion all slipped into her mind. There’s no way I can’t hear the voices at all. There’s something weird about this place. Or is it that I’m finally “normal”?
Not knowing what to think or do, Olivia sat back on the cold floor beside another person, knees pulled to her face. She closed her eyes and said “hello?” under her breath. At least I’m not deaf.

Stevan woke up, the horrible green color of the van still in his mind. "I'm coming to get you," said a voice far off, but he shook his head and dismissed it as his imagination. "Who are you?" asked Stevan to the girl.
He stood up, reached out his hand, and said, "I am Stevan. I don't even know how I got here," he said, rubbing the back of his head.

Olivia lifted her head to see a boy's extended hand; he said his name was Stevan. She stood up and shook the welcoming hand, "Hello, my name is Olivia. I don't quite know how we got here or why. I was just walking from a park when a van pulled over next to me. Why do you think the people took us here?"
The unnerving silence caught Olivia again, "And, can you hear anything, coming from this house, that is," she asked out of curiosity. She realized that question was too weird; maybe he'll become suspicious. Her eyes wandered, examining the other people who were still on the floor, hoping the question she posed doesn't make him avoid her.
