Name: Pandora Blair

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Occupation in the group: Psychic Medium

Fears: being alone, bugs (especially maggots), going crazy

Bio: Pandora has always been sensitive to the presence of spirits around her. Like many young children, her earliest encounters and premonitions were dismissed as imaginary friends or dreams until they persisted into her teen years. They took her to a variety of psychologists and psychiatrists, who never found any apparent cause for her "delusions", which no medications helped. If they had believed her, they might have listened when she begged them not to go to the beach one night - but they didn't, and they both died in a crash caused by a drunk driver. Only sixteen at the time, Pandora was taken in by her older brother until she turned 18. She finished high school online, but after moving out she's come out of her shell and found a group of close friends. Though she's a bit of mess, her talents and her kind personality make her a valuable asset to the group and she cherishes the rare people who actually believe her. She's determined to learn how to use her powers properly instead of always being victim to random flashes of past and future.

Looks: 5'2 and very petite, Pandora is usually the shortest one in a crowd and first to be mistaken for a high schooler. Her hair is currently silver-blonde with dark roots cut to shoulder length, but she dyes it frequently. She has several piercings: two in each earlobe, right side industrial, bellybutton, and both nipples. She also has a handful of tattoos including her parents' initials over her heart, a semicolon on her left wrist, and a large dreamcatcher on her back. She usually wears light makeup with plain leggings & a hoodie, but likes wearing boho dresses with Doc Martens and cardigans for special occasions.

Name: Daniel James (also goes by Danny or Dan)

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Occupation in the group: Camera person

Fears: Spiders, heights, malevolent spirits, dying a gruesome death caused by malevolent spirits, being possessed by malevolent spirits and snakes.

Bio: Growing up, there was never a question in Daniel's mind about the existence of ghosts. All the evidence, stories, strange happenings...there are just too many of them for spirits not to exists and that's not even mentioning the stories he heard from his mom, gran and great-gran about spirits they encountered in their old houses(He knows those stories are true. His grannies are the best women he knows and the furthest things from liars ever and he'll fight whoever says otherwise). Unlike most believers who went out of their way to experience the supernatural, Daniel had no desire to test his luck - horror movies, books, personal accounts, almost all of them ends in tragedy and Danny rather likes being alive thank you very much. As such he had a normal childhood, graduated college with a degree in journalism and had an enjoyable time filming small movies and funny documentaries(mostly about his pets) in his spare time, which came to bite him in the but when a few of his friends asked him to help out with their podcast. At first, he didn't even want to consider it, but his friends seemed determined to go chasing ghosts no matter what he said and he'd never be able to live with himself if they got themselves killed and he didn't do anything. So he grabbed some sage, filled his pockets with salt and sucked it up. They haven't died yet, lets hope their luck will hold up...

Looks: Reasonably tall at 6'1 Danny has a lean build, fair skin dark-brown hair and eyes. He has a beauty-mark on the back of his neck and a small scar clipping his right eyebrow. His style consists out of cargo pants(the more pockets the better), combat boots, t-shirts and hoodies. He has quite a few accessories that never leaves his person while hunting ghosts that includes - A cross necklace he got from his grandma, three protective necklaces(one shaped like a dream-catcher, one is just a crystal on a chain and the other is a circle with some kind of symbol carved on it) that he bought from the most authentic psychic he could find as well as two crystal bracelets and a silver ring(also for protection).

Name: Dr. Thomas Jason McPherson ("TJ" or "Mac" or "Doc")

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Occupation in the group: Lead Investigator

Fears: Being buried alive, toads, cockroaches, and rats.

Bio: Thomas was born into a wealthy family in Pittsburgh, PA. His father was Robert McPherson C-E-O of McPherson Media, and his biological mother Rachel was Robert's secretary. She died giving birth to Thomas and Robert was going to put him up for adoption when Robert's wife Diana found out about it. She took one look at Thomas and instantly fell in love with him. Robert wanted nothing to do with Thomas, and Robert made sure that his step-brother and step-sister had nothing but contempt for him. Diana though loved Robert as though he was her own child. While he was in college Thomas began taking an interest in the paranormal, the occult, and unexplained phenomenon. He majored in psychology with a minor in religious studies, and then immediately began work on (and eventually graduated with) a PHD in Parapsychology. While he was studying for his PHD Robert would go Ghost Hunting with a group on campus, and he loved it. When he graduated he started off hosting a pod-cast with some friends he met at school as a hobby while dreaming of Ghost Hunting full time. He took a job working in a lab at the University studying the paranormal hoping to save up enough to finance a Ghost Hunting business. When his mom was killed in a car crash Thomas' world changed in many ways. It was revealed that Diana was the "power behind the throne" in that she was the majority shareholder of McPherson Media and the majority of the family assets were in her name. She also named Thomas the executor of her estate which meant it all went to him. Robert and the other family members were outraged and were going to contest the will, but Thomas suggested a compromise. He would let them have just about everything, but there would be three conditions. First, the company would bankroll Thomas' Ghost Hunting business no questions asked. Anything they need there would be a check waiting for them, and the equipment and their offices/labs would be top of the line. With a healthy budget to keep up with the latest gadgets. Second, the entire crew would be given medical, dental, vision, and life insurance with a 401K. Third, Thomas got to keep the house-boat to live on, and the family had to pay for the upkeep and expenses. The family grudgingly admitted to Thomas' terms.

Looks: Thomas stands roughly six-one with jet black hair. Wears glasses which accentuate his brown eyes, and has a cross earring in his left ear. His lean build comes from his love of jogging. Loves wearing an old style bomber's jacket with a brown fedora (his friends give him an earful for trying to copy the Indiana Jones look, but he doesn't care). Frequently will wear a t-shirt with either something to do with "Star Wars" or a "super-hero" on it, and a pair of blue jeans with Nikes on the feet.

Extra: Thomas drives a 1967 Mustang that his mom got for him for college graduation, and there is a reason he is so interested in Ghost Hunting. He believes that all spirits are linked together, and Thomas wants to meet Rachel just to say he met her once. He misses Diana more than he admits to anyone. His family wants NOTHING to do with him, but they are at least civil to him.

Name: Denise Matheson

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Occupation in the group: Techie

Fears: Experiencing intense pain, watching her loved ones suffer, bugs,

Bio: Born and raised in a fairly strict household as an only-child, Denise was heavily disciplined from a young age. Her parents were well off, but that didn't mean they allowed her to slack off. Due to her upbringing, when she was in high school, Denise got drawn to the wrong crowd. She gained street smarts, that which is learned from experience. One of the kids in her group, Jason, had a crush on her. In order for him to spend more time with her, he asked her if she wanted a part-time job at the repair shop his dad owned. It was easy money, and the workload was extremely light, almost non-existent. Denise agreed, figuring she could use her own money without having to go ask her parents.

Currently, Denise is working as an IT manager at the hospital. She stayed in the field throughout the years and she never looked back. Bored one evening, she saw an online post regarding a replacement needed for a tech position, Denise figured the experience might be fun, and decided to respond.

Looks: A small-framed woman, Denise is not the least bit intimidating. She stands at 5'3 and weighs roughly 115 lbs. Despite spending quite a bit of time outside on a regular basis, her skin is fairly light. Denise has brown hair as well as brown eyes, though she may decide to switch up her look by adding some highlights to her hair depending on the time of year. She has no tattoos and no additional piercings aside from those on her ears. Her style can best be described as modern and comfortable with the occasional eye-catching accessory.
