You can even USE some of the ghosts if I'm not online. But NO killing. (Unless the person has agreed to do this with you and will then become a ghost too.)

The ghosts

You may make a ghost up, but you will have to write it together with your character. And you can't get attacked by ghosts all the time. Although creepy stuff may happen to you every now and then.

Stuff that can drive a ghost away might be something like a tattoo, mirror, amulett or stones. These are just examples and you will make your own weapon up, but please choose something that makes sense.

Ghosts:
The Mad Woman. You should know her story already. When she comes the house almost starts writhing and creaking beneath your feet and when she want's to kill you she moves forward and tries to stab you with a tantō. She is dresses in a blood-soaked white kimono and have black long hair and a crazed smile. You can only hide from her.

The Children. They want to play with you, but their touch hurts you terribly. No wounds are inflicted upon touch. Their appearence are not mild as they all have stabwounds or missing limbs. They also like to play hide and seek. Weeker ghosts. Will go away after two attacks.

White Girl. One of the "friendly" ghosts. She might appear if you are alone. Sobs about not being able to go home again. White, short hair and white kimono. Almost glows with white-ness.

Drowned Woman and Man. You don't want to take a bath in the springs. The man and woman tries to pull you under the surface if you stand to close to bigger waters. Even bathtubs. Will go away after three attacks. They simply look like drowned people.

Priest. A big man with a butcherknife. He used to "sacrifice" the sacrifices. He WILL hurt you if you are slow. Have a gray yukata. Goes away after five attacks.

Doll Girl. Throughout the shrine there is different dolls or puppets sitting in small shrines. Sometimes the dolls will move in different ways. The girl can't appear any other way. Friendly ghost.

Crawling Woman. She can't walk upstraight as she was locked under the floorway for a horribly long time. She scratches at the floor or in the walls when you walk by. Will only appear inside the walls or under the floor. Goes away after three attacks.

Baby Ghosts. You might hear babies cry when you pass the first supicious room. What might have happened in there...?

And that's it for now. Send ideas for new ghosts. You may interact with or pretend to be any ghost, but follow the guidelines written here.

Name: -Vanilla- eXe
Character's name: Vanilla Aino
Gender:Female
Age:20
"Weapon":A black velvet bag filled with handcrafted orange runes. She uses the runes to call forth any one of a trio her ancestors in ghost form. However, while Vanilla is meditating on the runes she is completely helpless and vulnerable.
Other: Vanilla was chosen to go along on this expedition because of her ability to communicate with spirits. At age 20, she looks a lot younger than she actually is and often uses this to her advantage. Despite this she is actually very friendly and caring.
Looks:

Ghosts Vanilla can summon:
Name: Grandmother
Description:Although her name is Grandmother, she actually goes back farther than that. She appears as a 12 year old girl, as that's how old she was when she died. She was raped by a family member when she was young and died giving birth to Vanilla's great great grandmother.
Will go away after ..... attacks/Friendly: She is a caring soul who will hold the entire party in her protective embrace for a short time while they flee from the evil ghosts.

Name: The Dark Man
Description: He is a more modern soul than Grandmother. And also more sinister. He appears as a shadow and therefore can only be summoned where light and darkness meet (such as a dark room with a flashlight, or small lamp). He is an uncle that was tried and hung for the murders of over 13 young women.
Will go away after ..... attacks/Friendly: when summoned, Vanilla must also roll 1 die. If the number is 1-3, he helps the party by capturing and torturing the attacking Ghost. This counts as 1 attack. If the number is 4-6, he will attack the team.

Name: The Twins
Description:The Twins are a fraternal yet equally beautiful Brother and Sister team. They are older even than Grandmother. In ancient times, they were born to a poor farm family. Their beauty gained the family fame and a small fortune. It also gained the pair many admirers. However, Brother and Sister thought nothing of love as marriage would cause the two to be separated. When eventually the line of suitors became too long, and their parents told them they must choose and wed, as per mutual agreement, Sister killed Brother and then herself.
Will go away after ..... attacks/Friendly:The Twins use their looks to lure attacking unfriendly ghosts to a safe distance, giving the team a chance to either run or attack (1 attack) without fearing retribution.

"When will this ride end?!" Vanilla thought to herself. She crossed her legs and clutched her velvet bag to her chest tightly. Vanilla always sat at the back of the bus. It gave her a clear view of everyone and what they were doing so there could be no surprises.

Vanilla stepped off the bus and stood next to the girl who got off before her. They were the only two people in front of the shrine. The bus drove off, leaving them alone. Vanilla turned to the girl
"Hi, My name is Vanilla. I take it you're here to investigate the shrine as well?"

"Mhmm," Vanilla nodded and turned toward the shrine, still clutching the bag with her stones close to her heart. "Should we go in or wait for more?"

Bracing herself, Vanilla started slowly walking towards the shrine. She walked up the long pathway until she was right in front. Then she reached for the door handle and opened it up.
