In between south campus of Byrlington College and its sorority row is a block of old (sometimes renovated) houses that are occupied by all sorts of college kids. All but one, that is. The Cromwell house, as it is known on Maple street has never been able to hold tenants for more than six months.

The six month phenomena is attributed not only to the dreary atmosphere the house retains (the owners try and renovate every time, but it doesn't get far) and the dark history behind it. The house is said to be a portal between this world and the next, and no one has been able to conquer the overwhelming fear that sits on the property. That is until a group of broke teenagers take over, drawn in by the promise of cheap rent. The house is a portal to the other side that no one could handle, but now with new and determined tenants the question is can the other side handle them?
------------------------------

As you can see it is going to be a fun, rp. I'm limiting it to 10 rpers to start with and only 4 real world housemates. When the rp gets off the ground we can add more realworlders that are not housemates.

A few rules: Other siders can be put into 3 categories

1. Corporeal - this refers to anything that you would consider alive and bound to the earth such as nymphs, mermaids, fairies.

2. Paranormal- Ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists.

3. Corporeal and Paranormal- This tends only to apply to things like mummies, zombies and vampires as they were dead but still alive.


----------------------------

Characters: Go crazy with your characters other siders, just no invincible scary crazy powerful people. Realworlders need to stay fairly grounded with small bits of power that are geared towards something special. Like gifted with knowing or seeing ghosts, and of course normal people are total welcome too, the more diverse the better! Bios don't need to be too in depth as its more fun to just learn about characters along the way for the other people. This will also be an rp for people with experience who like to type. No one line posts here - all posts need to be at least five lines long.

He haunted an old bank that was condemned and found [s]the love of his life [/s] his soulmate (or so he says) in one Lucida Barnes who has been stuck with the ghostly gangster since.

I suppose I can be a human, one of her mates

Name: Neill Stroker
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Good-looking lad with clear-cut face, he is charming and charismatic though he is of middle height. He has a black hair and blue eyes that draws the attraction at first sight.
Personality: Not predictable, not even trustful to some extent. He is weird but is smart as hell.
History: Neill was born in London, England. When he was just four years old, his family migrated to the States due to his father's remarkable career in selling an oriental themed carpets. Neill started kindergarten at 5, then at 7 went to primary school. He was kind of optimistic kid and yet not aware of the hardships of life he would start to understand. His mother died of unexpected illness that autumn, leaving Neill behind all alone. His father, Bram Stroker, on the other hand had a quite fortune selling his carpets to every American household in California. As wealthy as he was, Bram was greatly distressed due to his wife's death. He tried to be more interested in the kid, taking care of his school. At one night, while taking Neill back from the school in a foggy night ,unlike the ones Bram knew, had happened an event which made Neill frightened. Bram held his hand since they went out the school, took the stroll in to the passage where held at its intersection was a cemetery. Without much further ado, they took the road the reason Neill would have never known. They walked on and on as they came to pass by the cemetery. Neill heard some howling voices; clinged on to his father's hand. Bram froze too as he took a stare in the direction of cemetery. A woman he managed to see crouched at the feet of the grave she seemed to have come visit. Neill was already afraid of the scenery lying ahead. Bram took a step at the woman, dressed in black all over. He touched her on the shoulder, in a way to urge her on or rather freak her out that which Neill did not understand. Neill was with his father. He remembered Bram called her many times to turn back at him. However, there was no movement of any sort in the position of the woman, crouching at grave's feet and facing the grave like a mere dead. Bram led go of the hand of the child, warning him to go home on his own if something unpleasant was to happen. Neill obeyed and ran for the exit. As Bram stood in front of the woman, her eyes flickered or rather where eyes need to be taken place. Her face was blank, but suddenly it flickered red. The woman had nothing in her face, any sort of expression to tell if she is mad or not, if happy or sad or disturbed. She yelled without any obvious mouthing from which Bram did not see how the sound had came out "You... you... you. You are gonna pay, pay, pay. You disturbed me, me , meeeee" She yelled. Bram freaked out and Neill too as he ran for home. That night Bram never returned to home and his lifeless form found in the cemetery, or rather of whatever his true form remained. This event was never forgotten by the locals as the news made on the heading with capital letters. "The dark menace" or "A true story: The dark phenomena(?). Neill was allowed to be adopted somewhere away from his home where he would go to a new residence and college.
