[OOC] The Nova Hotel

Prologue: New Beginnings

Job Board: Cleaning: Room 394 requires freshening up, the customer is on hold until action is taken.

"Welcome to the Nova Hotel!"

Nestled into the forest, the small town of Alengras sits in the peaceful mists and dense trees, a neutral ground for any species or race that may venture to it. At least, that's what it's been since anybody remembers. As industrialization and technology expanded, so did Alengras, as its size grew to become its own small city within the trees.

In the heart of the now bustling city stands a grand hotel building, a sign hanging on it's door...

Help Wanted! Inquire within...

---

The premise is simple really, the group are employees of the Nova Hotel, a fantasy hotel welcome to anybody and everybody! Characters can be of any race or species, as the clientele will be of equal diversity. Hotel jobs include but are not limited to Housekeeping, Receptionists, Cooks, Bartenders, etc... and characters can take on more than one job if you wish! As a slice-of-life kind of roleplay, violence and fighting aren't a focus, but magic and things of such nature do exist and are often used in everyday life.

Magic

The energy of Magic originates from a person's personality, though its applications are learned and practiced, the energy and properties of the Magic itself is unique to the person.

I will start us off when Everyone gets their characters in @Sunny Suzuki

@EchoWolff

okay ^^

[Zer0Solution]

If I may make a suggestion. We should have a list of what order we go in to stop any confusion.

[EchoWolff]

I was thinking something along the lines of you all going whenever and I'll do updates for whats happening and move the story along. If you do want a post order though, we can do that

[Zer0Solution]

The only problem I see with posting whenever is that things may get carried away and some people may not be able to figure out how to put their character, or characters, into the roleplay.

[EchoWolff]

Gotcha. We can establish a post order then.

Since we are waiting on one person now, do you guys want to start and have their character jump in later?

[Sunny Suzuki]

@EchoWolff

[cyberhead]

Fine by mee

[Zer0Solution]

That's okay with me.

[EchoWolff]

Alright then, I'll start working on the first post then.

A Ghostie Girl In a Ghostie World

What self-respecting hotel doesn't have ghosts?

~ Name ~

Anna Rochelle DuBois

~ Age ~

21 at time of death

~ Species/Race ~

Formerly a Human Medium, Presently a Ghost or Spirit

~ Personality ~

Having been pushed to her death from a high balcony by a drunken suitor, it's to be expected that Anna would be scornful and vindictive. To an extent, this is true. However this seems mostly reserved for specific people, or rather one person in particular. Even so, aggression requires some form of outlet; thus Anna passes the time engaging in the standard ghostly fares of being mischievous, enigmatic, and all around frightening as much as possible. These acts aren't without focus; she generally targets rowdy and uncouth guests in earnest, while mostly joshing and clowning on those she actually likes in good fun, even if it can get slightly out of hand. She harbors the truest malice for the one who murdered her, and seemingly lingers at the Nova for the express purpose of exacting vengeance should that person ever return.

Beneath the semi-chaotic behavior is a rather emotional and theatrical character. Fancying herself a thespian, Anna rarely misses out on a chance to be excessively expressive. This often comes out in the form of hammed up, melodramatic reactions to the goings on of her (after)life and the Nova. Among her favorite dramatic exploits is "re-enacting" the plummet that resulted in her demise those years ago; she does this most often when a wave of new guests arrive, and will treat regulars with the performance should they request it.

She can be quite gossipy when the mood strikes her, though she doesn't spill tea without getting something in exchange, whether it be favors, or more talk for to pass around later on. Being the non-corporeal being that she is, she has quite the way of learning information that she probably shouldn't. Still, much of what she sends along the grapevine tends to be harmless in nature, save for the infrequent nugget of trouble; if she's more friendly with someone, the more likely she is to keep deeper subjects to herself.

Anna, for better or worse, has been known to go on random streaks of promiscuity. Though perhaps not the best at it, she has few reservations about flirting with coworkers and guests alike. She gets around quite well in that department, at least as best as a ghost can, though her most frequent pursuits are after other spirit entities. Most of the staff and regulars are well aware of her on-and-off relationships with the poltergeist on the 13th floor, and the wraith that haunts the basement. Whether because of her torrid love affairs in life, or because being a ghost causes some degree of confusion, she doesn't appear to have a "type," engaging in helpless romantics on whims and fancies.

Despite these eccentricities, Anna is overall a good-natured, well-intending individual. The Nova Hotel is her home in her ghostly existence. Much of her more abrassive activity is engaged in the name of protecting that home and the staff who have accepted her residency as part of the establishment's ever expanding lore. She views those that work there her family in death. Even with the tragic death tying her to property, she had fond memories of mortal life spent staying at the hotel. Indeed, so long as the hotel remains, Anna Rochelle DuBois will be as much a fixture within it's halls as the chandelier hanging in the Grand Ballroom.

~ Magic Properties ~

• Telekinetic. Able to move, control, and/or influence objects remotely using a form of psionic energy. Examples include shaking beds, throwing things across rooms, flicking lights on and off, and in extreme cases, lifting people off of the ground.
• Invisibility. Can render herself invisible, especially to the naked eye.
• Intangibility. Existing as a conscious, sentient energy, Anna is unaffected by assaults through physical matter. This also enables her to pass through obstructions such as walls, locked doors, etc.
• Ecto Mist. Can generate and moderately control a cloud of ectoplasmic 'vapor.' It's mostly a smokescreen, but can also induce delirium to unsuspecting, weak, or mortal minds.
• Minor Possession. Anna is capable of temporarily possessing others. However they either need to open their minds to it, or otherwise be asleep or unconscious for her to do so. Occasionally a weak enough mind can be taken hold of, though most people are fortified or stubborn enough to resist.
• Telepathic. Can communicate via ESP. It's a one-way street, though with the right effort she can pry information.

@Wayward

you put that in the wrong spot bud...

@Sunny Suzuki

All prior experience dictates submitting characters in the OOC for approval prior to moving them to the Characters tab. Would be bold of me to assume I was approved.

[EchoWolff]

@Wayward Anna looks good! Would be good to have a 'resident' as it were.

It goes without saying that she would not be a new hire, so if you have any questions about what your character would know, don't hesitate to PM me.

@EchoWolff

Awesome. Yeah. Whatever you'll allow her to know is fine by me.

I did have a fun thought for a new hire character too.

[shagranoz]

Waiting to see what kind of guest we get before posting.

[EchoWolff]

Ah, okay

[EchoWolff]

I believe we are waiting on Zer0 and cyberhead. (If either of you want to skip this round, please let me know)

[Zer0Solution]

Skip me this round.
