-EVENT!-

In the spirit of Halloween -although this won't be extending to it- we give you a spooky event.



Basically, you guys are gonna get haunted. Some of you, anyways. If your character has ever had a loved one die (of course, this means that it would have had to have happened in their canon BEFORE the point you took them from) then your character will be haunted by that ghost.

How many ghosts can our character be haunted by?

Even if your family and friends that number in the thousands have died, we're setting the bar at three. Choose carefully!

Can everyone see/hear the ghosts?

No, only your character can see/hear the ghosts they are being haunted by, unless they give permission. For example: Character A is haunted by Dead Mom. Character A tells Character B about Dead Mom; Character B can now see and hear Dead Mom. This does not work for unintentional revelations, aka: "Why the hell are these ghosts following me?!" kind of posts.

What do the ghosts look like?

As for their form, they are wispy and colorless, classically ghost. They are intangible, and their voices sound as if they are coming from through a wall, or sound like they've echoed through a canyon before reaching your character's ears.

They will also appear in the condition they were in before they died. For example, if a person was shot to death, then he or she will be riddled with bullet holes pouring blood. If a person died of a disease, then they will appear sickly and frail, however the disease affected them. If a person dies from being crushed into a tiny pulp...well okay, obviously they can't be a mound of flesh, but they'll probably have crushed bones, bleeding orifices and the like. Be imaginative.

Hold the phone, my character's chosen ghost died, but s/he's here in Luceti!

That so? Well, guess what; yer gettin' haunted anyhow. For example, Zack is here in Luceti, but Cloud's still gonna see Zack. So yes, characters can also interact with ghosts of themselves, provided they've been told about said ghost.

So are we gonna have to play these ghosts?

If you want to log with another character, presumably yes. However, the ghosts can't interact with the journals at all, so no posting with their voices or anything of the like.

What do the ghosts act like?

Their old selves, they aren't vengeful or anything (unless, of course, they were vengeful in canon). They might seem a little distracted, however, like they can't keep themselves focused.

When's this thing over?

The event begins tonight, 12:00 EST, and will come to an end next Sunday, the 26th, at noon.

Any additional questions may, as usual, be asked here! I'm sure there's plenty I've missed, since that's apparently my reoccurring trend with these event posts.

EDIT!

What kind of people can haunt my character?

Anyone that impacted your character's life; enemies, family, friends, anyone that significantly changed your character can haunt him or her.

What if the character themselves died in canon but were resurrected - could they haunt themselves? O_o
