Lavenshade Mansion Inhabitants~
Name: Abernathy
Age: Around 45 (But has existed for a much longer, unknown amount of time)
Gender: Male
Species: Was a human
Living or Dead?: Dead (Ghost)
Abilities: Traveling through walls, shapeshifting, possessing things
Description: William Abernathy was an intriguing man, and a brilliant writer. He was respected and loved by many. Sadly, there were many who did not care for, and even loathed the eccentric author. William was assassinated by one of these people. Following his death, his ghost became known solely as “Abernathy”, and has acted as sort of a guiding spirit to travelers. He can take many forms, but no matter what form he’s in, two characteristics still remain: A top hat with stitches in it, and an X in his left eye. No one truly knows what his human form looks like, as most often, he’s seen in the form of a large, striped Velociraptor-like creature. Despite this scary default look, Abernathy is one of the most friendly ghosts in Lavenshade Mansion, and is happy to inform the living of what he knows.
Name: Amelia
Age: 8 (But has existed since 1902)
Gender: Female
Species: Alley Cat
Living or Dead?: Dead (Ghost)
Abilities: Traveling through walls, hiding within (but not possessing) things, telepathic speech
Description: Amelia is a lanky, skinny cat with silver spotted fur and odd-looking blue eyes. Amelia lived in an alley near a lonely old woman’s house, long ago. The old woman would feed her often, gave her the name Amelia, and eventually even adopted her. Only a few years later, however, old age took the old woman’s life, forcing Amelia to take back to the streets. She died after ingesting food from the trash laced with poison. In regards to others, Amelia is not a threat of any kind. Just, maybe a little creepy, startling, and curious.
Name: Renn
Age: 10 (But has existed since 1888)
Gender: Female
Species: Despair Demon
Living or Dead?: Dead (Demon)
Abilities: Turning into a shadow on the wall, teleportation within the mansion’s walls, causing despair in people by will
Description: Renn is a small girl with grayish-while skin, glowing red eyes, messy long black hair, and usually large hands and claws. She wears a torn black dress made of rags, and has grown out a pair of tall ivory horns. Renn used to be a human, along with her father. They lived in Negloria oh so long ago, up until Renn’s father took to horrifically greedy behavior. Such actions invited demons into his house, where they led Renn’s father further astray, and attacked her. Both people became demons. Towards others, Renn is quiet and shy, but not hostile.
Name: Kuroneki
Age: ???
Gender: Presumably Male
Species: Being of Darkness
Living or Dead?: ???
Abilities: Controlling shadows on the wall, melting into shadows, temporarily blinding someone
Description: Kuroneki is a large monster of around 10 or 11 feet who looks as if he is a living silhouette, with no features, and composed primarily of darkness itself. His eyes are a blood red, and he has what looks like pointy, jackal-like ears and large claws. Kuroneki is said to be a forest spirit who prowls around the mansion and the surrounding perimeter only during the night. Those who come in contact with him have never made it back the same, or to tell the tale at all…
Name: Ellysa
Age: 19 (Has existed for hundreds of years, apparently)
Gender: Female
Species: Human Warrior
Living or Dead?: Dead (Angel)
Abilities: Manipulating light, transforming into a dove
Description: Ellysa is a young warrior girl with long pale blond braids tied off with golden silk. Her eyes are a striking blue, and she’s usually seen wearing a white gown with some pieces of silver armor on her arms, legs, and even her feathery white angel wings. She carries a sword on her back with a worn leather strap. Ellysa is a brave soul, and greets the living with mostly open arms. She loves to test the strength of others, however, so beware when accepting any challenges from her. She hates being put into the “damsel in distress” role, however, her role at Lavenshade seems to be as such, since she can’t find a way to return to the Heavens…
Name: Negloria
Age: Looks about 5
Gender: Female
Species: Looks human…
Living or Dead?:
Abilities: ‘Tis a mystery, it seems…
Description: Negloria, who mysteriously shares the same name as the abandoned town nearby, is a small girl with pale skin, black hair down to her ankles, and pale, almost empty-looking lavender eyes. She wears a very fancy white dress, almost looking similar to a bride’s outfit on her wedding day. In her hair is a large purple and red bow, with ribbons that trail down to the middle of her back. Negloria is often spotted at the top floor of the mansion, in the window of the attic. It is said that she rarely goes down onto other floors, but sometimes, you could catch her. No one has ever “spoken” to Negloria. She seems only to talk to the ghost inhabitants of the Mansion, and confine herself to empty, secluded rooms. She does not seem hostile, but then again…everyone who’s ever attempted to move up to the top floor and catch her has never returned…
Name: Yorugiro
Age: Rumored to be over a millennia...
Gender: Presumably male (?)
Species: Creature of pure darkness (?)
Living or Dead?: We're not quite sure...
Abilities: Manipulating darkness, melting down into shadows on the floor, the rest are unknown...
Description: Yorugiro is a huge beast with a face similar to a halloween jack-o-lantern. A sinister red glow comes from deep within his body, illuminating his eyes and the inside of his mouth (also like a jack-o-lantern). In appearance, he looks like a large beast with gigantic claws and a tail similar to a scorpion's,believed to be filled with a serum that turns the affected into beasts such as him. He has spikes and horns jutting out from his whole body.
The one true mystery about Yorugiro is if he's behind the disappearances and curse of Lavenshade Mansion. It is rumored that Yorugiro isn't actually an evil creature at heart, but was afflicted with his own type of poison long ago, and was morphed into the beast he is now. Apparently, Abernathy has seen Yorugiro's true form...
Name: Yolani
Age: About 17 (Though she’s been around almost as long as Lavenshade Mansion…)
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Living or Dead?: Dead (Ghost)
Abilities: Sharing memories with people, floating through objects/walls, possession
Description: Yolani is a petite, beautiful young girl with brown hair put up in a bun, smooth fair skin, and bright hazel eyes. She’s often seen wearing a lacy, ornate white dress, like a bridal gown of some sort, along with long, white silk gloves. Yolani was the daughter of Lavenshade Mansion’s original builder and owner. She’s said to know much about the mansion, but she’s one of the most elusive ghosts there. The only resident said to know where she might always be is Abernathy…
Name: Sylena
Age: 21 or so (Though it’s known that she’s existed possibly a century)
Gender: Female
Species: Succubus
Living or Dead?: ???
Abilities: Charming those of the opposite gender, taking on a demon form, unnatural speed
Description: Sylena, in her human disguise, has pale skin, silky shoulder-length brown hair in pigtails, and captivating ruby-red eyes. She’s usually spotted wearing a charming red evening gown, shiny black high-heels, and a headband with a small, ruby-adorned black top hat attached to it. Not a whole lot is known about Sylena, besides the fact that she’s often seen with Luxton. No one knows whether or not she’s condemned to Lavenshade Mansion or not, but it is known that she may have worked in the mansion long ago, and could have seen something important…
Name: Luxton
Age: 22, maybe (But he’s existed somewhere around a century)
Gender: Male
Species: Incubus
Living or Dead?: ???
Abilities: Charming those of the opposite gender, taking on a demon form, unnatural speed
Description: Luxton, in his human disguise, has pale skin, shiny black hair in a long-ish style, and captivating emerald-green eyes. He’s usually spotted wearing a suave dark-green tux made of silk, shiny black and white dress shoes, and a black hat with a large rim and a white ribbon around it. Not much is known about Luxton, besides the fact that he’s often hanging around Sylena. Nobody knows if he’s stuck within Lavenshade Mansion as all the other spirits are, but it is known that he may have played some kind of role in the mansion at some point in the years past, and could have seen something interesting…
Name: Myriatte
Age: Looks around 18 or so (Has existed for at least a couple centuries, however)
Gender: Female
Species: Demon (But looks human…)
Living or Dead?: Dead, as she had always wished…
Abilities: Hypnotism, taking on a monstrous demon form, short-range teleportation within the mansion’s walls
Description: Myriatte looks much like a human still, with pale skin, very long, dark reddish-black hair, and very beautiful blueish-green eyes. She can be seen most often wearing a long, formal dark blue skirt, a golden sash tied in a big ribbon at the back, and a white dress shirt with red ribbons. She also has a thin golden ribbon wrapped around a forelock of her hair. Catch her at the right time, however, and you may see her wearing a sinister-looking black robe with blood-red inscriptions written all over it, walking around in the halls. Myriatte was a cult leader in her living days. She worked hard enough that, by the time she died, she was rewarded with the transformation into a wandering demon. It is unknown if Myriatte is condemned to Lavenshade Mansion as everyone else is, however, is IS known that she holds an important link to it. If you happen to wander into a room in the upstairs of the mansion painted red and filled with burnt-out candles, sinister-looking books, sharp utensils, and possibly even bones as well…turn back and make sure the door isn’t locked. Myriatte might be in your presence, and she won’t let a good sacrificial lamb go to waste…
Name: Penelope Lavenshade
Age: Looks around 13 or so (…but is she?)
Gender: Female
Species: Underworld spirit
Living or Dead?: ???
Abilities: Using her hair to attack people, leeching people’s minds for information in their sleep, becoming soundless, invisibility
Description: In her human disguise, Penelope is a sweet-looking, petite little girl with fair skin, long black hair, and dark eyes. She’s usually spotted wearing a standard girl’s school uniform with a navy-blue skirt, a white shirt with a red neckerchief, white knee-socks, and scuffed black buckle shoes. Though she looks sweet enough, Penelope is a monster to those she’s called upon to torture, as it is her job in the Underworld. She’s one of the few residents in the mansion who isn’t bound there, and it’s still unknown why she carries a last name that matches the mansion’s name. The last time anyone recorded seeing her was when she supposedly murdered a particularly prideful girl who boasted too frequently about her accomplishments…
Name: Jikanei
Age: Looks around 19 or so (But has existed for far longer...though, she can't say how much.)
Gender: Female
Species: Zeitgeist ("Time ghost")
Living or Dead?: Dead (Spirit; never alive in the first place...)
Abilities: Skipping around in time (sometimes beyond her own control), enhanced agility, sending others through time, shapeshifting to fit the situation
Description: Jikanei, or "Jiji" as she likes to be called, isn't actually human, but takes on that form around living people. Her human form is that of a slightly shorter than average girl with glowing blue eyes and long, dark blueish-silver hair held in a ponytail halfway down by a tie seemingly made of a metal cuff and strange gems. Her outfit is a beige jumpsuit (with a few details here and there to make it a bit more "girly"), scuffed gray boots, dark brown gloves, and silver goggles with clocks instead of lenses, which makes her look a bit like a pilot. Jikanei is known to be the sister of Father Time's assistant, Tokei. Like her sister, Jikanei is a cheerful person, though she's definitely less insane than Tokei. Jikanei isn't actually trapped in the mansion, and can go where she pleases...so why is she here?
