Normally Jaden knew better than to listen to creepy text messages with no fucking number talking about some dumb bullshit. If it was any girl they wouldn't have even read it and immediately deleted that thing. Shit ain't normal, obviously. With rumors of swarms of fucking moths flying around and abducting people, that shit ain't normal well is it? Jaden hid in the bushes as he made sure to get a good note of everyone here, then he went to look at his cellphone for his text message. That military itch in his head was telling him that this was a trap, especially with the copper here. Jaden narrowed his eyes... maybe this was a trap. He knew better than to trust the cops - or white people. Amanda Blackmore and Jaden didn't have the best relationships... and he didn't know the rest. However, Jaden wasn't a scrub - he was practically a Marine without the credentials!

Jaden took in a deep breath as he decided to just show up. Whoever is pulling the strings here knows what's going on and probably won't show themselves until their little "Ghosts" show up. He stepped out of the bushes all confidently but made sure to make lots of noise just in case officer Blackmore gets scared.

"Don't shoot officer," Jaden said in a mocking tone as he raised his hands, "I'm unarmed - wait, that usually makes you cop types shoot." Amanda was unamused. Because Jaden does this a lot.

The people just keep coming. Amanda thought to herself as she was tempted to at least keep her pistol in her hand. There were a few familiar faces - it was apart of the job. Then her eyes landed upon Jaden... one of the local pains in the ass. "Jaden..." Amanda mused. "If this is one of your games, I swear..."

The comment was brushed off as Jaden knew he ain't ever do anything like this. He walked to the group as Amanda was seething in rage and examined everyone down to their faces. Before he shrugged then he spoke, "I'm gonna suggest we skip all this 'uh did you get the text'-" Jaden said in the most obnoxious and mocking tone he could, "-bullshit because look around you."

Jaden clapped both hands together before he put his hand up to the church as if he was presenting it. "Nobody ain't got no reason to be here unless they a tweaker - fuck, I'm surprised we ain't find someone ODing yet! Hehe..."

He had his hands in the pocket of his winter coat as he whipped around to face the group. He made sure to keep his eye on them at all times - even when it looked like he wasn't! He didn't trust anyone here.

"But, we know we got the text - but do we know why we're here? I get the feeling each of us were involved in the weird shit that was going on around town. What I'm wondering is what, and what I'm also wondering is how the person who sent that text is involved because it's obvious they have a better idea of what's going on than anyone here."

Amanda's hand drifted away from her waistband seeing that it wasn't the Horde. However, she kept a hand in just the right spot to snatch it out in case she needed to. She knew the person that was before her, it was Archie... something? She didn't know the guy, but certain things travel around Araminta fast. Especially if you're PD. She expressed sympathy for his family and she definitely saw him around Araminta a few times. Yet, they never had a conversation lasting more than a minute or two. That said, some part of her compelled her to move her hand to her glock - that part of her was telling her to stay on guard. If anything, Archie could easily be behind this bloodshed, but she was going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Though, what she found interesting was that Archie brought up the text messages. Which means she wasn't alone here. She reached into her back pocket and pulled out her cellphone, after unlocking it she brought up the text message and held it up. Of course, she knew he couldn't have read it at this distance, but that wasn't the point. Amanda casually says,

"Ha, I was told to come here myself," Amanda started off, she raised an eyebrow as she took some steps until she was to Archie's left. She was ensuring in the event that he is one of the crazies, she could still beat feet. "But, that text message was for a group of people, right? Which means more people might be coming..."

She took her final step as she whipped around and looked Archie in the eye, "... So, that also means you seen some of the weird shit going on around town?"

Somewhere in Araminta...

There was a house in the middle of the woods, three stories and stood ominously as the only house for miles. Abandoned for some time, a stranger in a leather jacket and a hoodie brushed the For Sale sign as he walked up the stairs with a purpose. He pushed open the wooden door and was almost instantly assaulted by the smell of mold and what smelled like decaying meat. The stranger pushed past it all as he walked through the house to the kitchen. The first sight was the refrigerator as he walked over and threw it open and grabbed a gallon of milk. He ignored the rancid smell as he popped the top off and just downed it all. With some of the disgusting spoiled milk landing on his body, he shook his head as he tossed it aside. He turned around and walked towards a door to the basement. He walked down the stairs to what would be a normal basement if it wasn't for the tunnel that was carved into the place.

The stranger walked into the dark tunnels and keep going until he ended up in a massive staircase that was seemingly out of a castle. At the top were two massive wooden doors that emanated a strange red light, and this stranger went up the stairs through the doors. The first sight was a massive hall and at the center were stairs that lead up to a massive golden throne with a strange figure sitting in it. It was shadowy, it's silhouette was strangely feminine. The stranger walked up to the foot of the stairs and took a knee, placing the switchblade that was in his hand on the ground in front of him.

"Ah, I see," The figure spoke in a feminine voice. "You have done well."

An orb of red light appeared in her hand as it gracefully landed on the hooded figure. "You deserve a reward, and a reward you shall get. You still have more work to do," When it hit the figure in the hood and mask, it caused a red light to surge throughout his entire being. The figure in the throne smiled and her white teeth could be seen through the darkness perfectly as if they were being illuminated by light.

"Make them worship me."

Hey

It's crazy what's going on in Araminta, but if you're reading this then that means you're one of the few people that can help stop it because you were apart of those crazy things. Either you saw that dog, survived one of those maniacs, or you were one of the lucky few to get away from the moths.

Know it's a lot to swallow, but head over to 7359 Armory Road, the old church that was abandoned. Trust me, I'll explain it there. There's a lot of you guys and it's better if I explain all of this in person. Just remember, you gotta keep this on the DL. People won't believe you or think you're crazy.

That's because it is crazy, but you're one of the only people who can make sense out of it. Remember you're all Ghosts now, act like it.

The few who have had encounters with the supernatural received the text message on their phone. Strangely enough, when they checked the number there simply wasn't one. Almost as if it came out of the blue. Many of the so-called "Ghosts" ignored the text message, but there were a few that heeded it and ended up coming to the church.

This is the place.

Amanda thought to herself as she pulled up in her black pick up truck. There was an iron fence around the place that was originally chained up - but the chain was broken and the gates were pushed open. How long ago was the question on Amanda's mind. She looked around and there was nothing but woods in sight, so she merely left her truck on the side of the road. If anyone on the force comes by here, she knows how to talk her way out of a ticket. She casually got out of the car - wearing jeans, a black zip-up hoodie, and black steel toe combat boots. Her earrings jingled as she brandished her trusty Glock 22... she had no clue what she was walking into but she was walking into it nonetheless. With all the weird shit going on, she wanted to make sure that at least she had it on her. However... she heard that other people were coming, and walking around with a gun was a very bad look for her. She simply tucked it into her waistband as she walked up to the church.

It was a white building that was abandoned for God knows how long to the point where vegetation had claimed it. Amanda was afraid to step inside because she could see the parts of the ceiling that had collapsed in. She was personally wondering where the hell this person they were supposed to meet was. Well, it was not out here - she took one step before she heard some bushes rustling. Her head immediately whipped around and her hand went straight for her pistol.

Her head's on a swivel and she knows better than letting her guard down.

The IC is gonna start soonish. If you're gonna make anymore characters I'd do it now.

<Snipped quote by Ghost Note>

Hey, thanks for not instantly shooting down the idea! I do however feel like some aspects of the FBP got lost in between the lines. The FBP doesnt know that there's something amiss in Araminta, they merely suspect. Like you said yourself, the idea is that David is inserted as an undercover FBI agent, investigating the recent string of murders. For the start of the RP I imagine it would be just like playing an FBI agent, interviewing the local police and populace. It's not like David is gonna roll into town, sniff the air and go "yup, this place is haunted." He's just as much in the dark as the rest of us.

@Cleverbird

Yeah that wasn't my point at all. What I'm saying is that David should know how things work before the rest of the cast - which would kinda defeat the purpose of the RP just a tad with the players and characters figuring out how things work. I thought a good way to remedy that was presenting him as an FBI agent then revealing that he's with the FBP down the line.

Jaden J. Domingeuz

╚══════════════╝

"Yo, there's two kinds of people I can't stand: people who always got their mouth open and people who can't mind their business. You better hope you ain't one of them standing in front of me like that!"

[ 5'6ft | 21 | Haitian & Columbian | He/Him | 196 ]

[Pride]

APPEARANCE

"I'm short, yeah, but I'm tall in all the right places."

A very proud and youthful young man just from the look. Just from his demeanor, you can tell he's very carefree and easy going - just from how lax he is about a lot of things. He walks around with confidence and a cocky swagger - mixed with a good old fashioned New Yorker accent. His voice is loud, but not as deep as he was hoping which kind of makes his behavior fall flat a lot of the time. Jaden is African-American at first look, but he's more than willing to tell you that he's mixed. His father is primarily Haitian and some West African countries and his mother is Columbian. His skin is dark with some cuts and bruises, he's got afro-textured hair, and his lips are thick - the usual. You wouldn't notice the hair though because he keeps it cut very short for personal reasons. In terms of build, Jaden is very short - like he stands at the female height. Which sucks because he wishes he was taller, but whenever he does a pull-up things are way easier. Jaden is in pretty good shape from working out - and let's be real; he's definitely not the type to laze around and get fat. He's not super buff, but he's skinny and toned as all hell. He's definitely got legs and chest muscles.

PSYCHOLOGY

"I wanna help people yo, I just don't want to be some weirdo that plays Playstation all day."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Currently, Jaden's goal is to find his twin sister Aisha before something terrible happens to her. Previously Jaden's goal was to get enlisted into the Marines but that didn't go as well as he was hoping for but at least he got his degree!

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ It may surprise you but Jaden is somewhat philosophical just from the way he was raised. He believes that strength and power are everything - just not physical strength. He wants the world to see him as strong, regardless of the price. People should be self-sufficient in his eyes, but he's willing to loan his strength to other people.

SECRETS ⫻ Jaden doesn't have any secrets, that sick's wack.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Jaden's straight baby.

FEARS ⫻ Jaden is afraid of being weak, being useless, being scared. This is why he acts all proud, aggressive, and rebellious - he wants the world to know that he isn't weak or a coward and will do anything to appear otherwise. He's convinced that strength, pride, and status is the only thing that matters, and the only thing he needs. While longing for something more.

REPUTATION ⫻ Jaden's reputation around Araminta varies - he visits Church every Sunday and is somewhat religious. However, because of his skin color and past behavior, many denizens of Araminta are wary of the boy.

QUIRKS ⫻ Jaden can't hold still - he can hold it for a few moments, but he finds it hard to stand at ease without moving his head or looking around.

FLAWS ⫻ He's arrogant, impatient, somewhat-self hating, annoying, brash, and more.

BACKSTORY

"I'm on my New York shit!"

Jaden was born in New York City baby! To a very high ranking member of some technology firm situation in New York. He was no CEO, but he definitely had more than a living wage - all because of good schooling. Jago's mother was a deaf woman who was one of his coworkers that were brought upon to show that his business is diverse. Eventually, the two got romantically involved, and he ended up marrying her - not before putting a baby in her! The first child was Lynette Dominguez, then afterward were the Dominguez twins: Jaden and Aisha Dominguez. The three had everything they ever needed: a nice house, good schooling, and whatever else they wanted came in time. Unlike the eldest Dominguez, who was attracted to learning; Jaden and Aisha had too much energy for that garbage. That energy ended up with them acting out when they got of age; so the two were invested into sports. Aisha into soccer, Jaden into basketball and whatever else he could get his hands on. Jaden was badass when you handed him a basketball and is talented with it to this very day. When he got older he ended up in his school's basketball team, and this ended with Jaden getting lots of social connections and parties and whatever. Where ever Jaden went, people knew him. It was like a dream! However, as popular as he was, he couldn't help but feel like he didn't want this.

Jaden could go pro, but did he want to? Yup, it just didn't feel right with him. Ultimately, Jaden went against his friends best wishes and decided to expand his horizons with other hobbies. After one art class went wrong, he gave Marine JROTC a try and immediately fell in love. It was the higher purpose that Jaden needed and perfect for an athlete like him. Throughout all of his high school years, he spent it doing NROTC classes and drills - he just wished he was allowed to shoot a gun! But, he had all the military discipline and knowledge that he needed to make it big - well, big as a Marine could make it! He still went to parties along with his sister Aisha, while Lynette... did Lynette things. The twins couldn't relate to her. At. All. So they stopped after a certain point.

Things were great... until Daddy Dominguez got a job in Araminta, Pennslyvania. A place that Jaden didn't even hear about! It was such bullshit, but it was his last year of high school anyway. After Aisha and Jaden graduated, the family set off to Araminta. It was weird being in a state different from where he grew up - at most they went on vacation to Florida. He didn't have any of his homies to surround him! However, Jaden slapped himself when he realized he was going to separate from them anyway. There was one problem; his father didn't want him going into the service - not without a degree that is. He wanted his son to have a fallback plan and also to have some rank in the military when he got in.

So Jaden went to Araminta community college and got a degree in cybersecurity - he bet he could find a good job in the Marines for him. All while continuing to do NROTC in college. After he graduated, the first place he went was the recruiter's office and everything was going well. He did the ASVAB (scored a 62) and went on his merry way to MEPS and everything was going well... until he got drug tested. They found traces of marijuana and he was immediately disqualified - fortunately, his NROTC credentials was enough to allow him to retest... in three months. Which meant Jaden had to sit around bored in Araminta.

However, around one month was when all the weird occurrences in Araminta began. First Jaden just shrugged it off as superstition before Jaden came face to face with the masked killer running around. He was out for a morning run to stay in shape when that bastard attacked him and the two got into a fight. Clearly the bastard was stronger and faster than Jaden, but Jaden also had a rock. He managed to get away with a few cuts and bruises, but that wasn't what concerned him.

His twin sister Aisha went missing the previous night, he found out. She was driving with friends when a swarm of moths attacked the vehicle they were in and took her away. Nobody believed her, of course, but Jaden felt that it was true. He set off to figure out what the fuck was going on in his town and find his twin sister.

SKILLS & TALENTS

""

NROTC ⫻ Jaden's primary claim to fame is all the work he did in JROTC and NROTC. He's pretty much an expert when it comes to the Marines and if he actually resisted the urge to smoke that one joint he would probably have aced basic training. He knows all the exercises off the bat, the history of the marines, land navigation, leadership, the basics of marksmanship, swimming, and all traditions.

Basketball ⫻ Before Jaden went to the NROTC, he was a star basketball player. He was extremely good and probably could have went NBA if it didn't feel weird to the teen. He still plays from time to time and he hasn't lost a step.

Cyber-Security Degree ⫻ Before Jaden was allowed to enlist he decided to get a degree in something. He choose Cyber-Security because it sounded just military enough for him... and then realized this was probably a degree for the airforce. That said, he knows computers really well, like operating them and repairing them comes easy as hell to him. He, obviously, knows how to do stuff like monitor systems and deal with cyber attacks.

EXTRA-NORMAL ABILITIES

"If the fuckin' Horde comes for me again I'm going to have something for them!"

OTHER

"I miss my dreads."

I decided we needed more penis in the cast

I may make another character down the line.
