Located in the English countryside is a very large, very old house with several thousand years of history attached to it. Button House. Passed down through a long family bloodline, it is truly a fascinating building. Not to mention the few acres of land that surrounds it that also belongs to the owners of the house. This house is also home to several ghosts. All from different eras and moments in history, they were on the property - whether in the house or on the grounds - when they died, and so Button House is where they remain, unable to go anywhere else. For quite a few years now, it's just been the ghosts and the very old owner of Button House. But when the owner dies, and her ghost chooses to pass on instead of staying, it seems they might finally be alone. That is, until, the new owner turns up. A distant, and only living, relative of the previous owner, they have now inherited Button House and the land. Their hopes of a quiet life is about to be disturbed by the group of young adults that hope to turn the building into a B&B.
Things get a bit more complicated when one of the living humans has a near-death accident (that may or may not have been caused by one of the ghosts) and ends up being able to see and interact with the ghosts.
- This roleplay is based off the BBC series Ghosts, only with a new cast of characters, though set in the same Button House as in the show. You do not need to have seen the show to join.
Ghosts remain how they died in both clothes and cause - so if they were shot, for example, they'd still have the wound. Ghosts may also have a 'ghost ability' that relates to their death or who they were when they were alive. Perhaps, if they were burnt, a living passing through them causes a strong smell of smoke in the air. You may utilise almost any ghost power from other versions of the show, or come up with your own idea. Ghosts are also unable to cross the boundary of the property they were on when they died.
You may have up to two ghosts and one living character. The living characters I've assigned a 'title' of sorts to each to hopefully inspire some ideas for the characters. With the ghosts, I've set out time periods to pick from, and will be limited to one or two per time period. While we won't be using any canon characters, you are free to take inspiration from them for your own characters.
