The Shades of New York
Welcome, noob, to the New York division of the Shades. You probably don’t know who are, but we know you. And we know that you need us. And we sort of need you too…

You’ve probably been through a slightly traumatic near-death experience lately, one that you don’t think you should have survived. And since then, you’ve been feeling sort of weird, almost like you’re being watched, right? And now you seem to see people others can’t? Those, my dears, are ghosts.

Yeah, you heard me. You have been giving the gift of being able to communicate with the dead. And that’s where the Shades come in. We solve crimes with the help of ghosts, and usually always get our guy. The only problem is that we were shut down for a long while due to some… Er, difficulties, so now we’re low on recruits.

That’s why sent one of our best members, Kat Manson, to find you. She seemed nice enough, if a bit crazy. You were given an address to go to, and it led you to a small apartment in Manhattan. And that is where you’ll meet Kat again, and her brother Markus, where they will give you the rundown of what’s going on. Good luck.

Age: 18
Appearance: Straight red hair that goes to her shoulders, usually worn back in a ponytail. Can usually be seen in t-shirts with various things on them, skinny jeans, converse, and she sometimes wheres too much eyeliner. Depends on if she’s in a hurry or not. And she wears hipster nerd glasses. Because she actually does need them. And she’s cool like that.
Attitude: Has had a very hard time trusting people since she almost died, and gets very paranoid about things. If you do actually manage to get her talking, she’s very calm and has a laid back tone to her voice. And she is very easily offended, just saying. But alltogether fine, if you get to know her.
Bio: She was coming back from her shift at the local Starbucks, which was just a 15 minute walk from her house. She had the night shift, so it was late, but she thought nothing of it. Before she knew it, this gang of guys grabbed her and was pushing her around, asking for money she didn’t have. When they saw she had nothing to give, instead of leaving her alone, seemingly out of nowhere one of them pulled a knife on her and stabbed her in the side. Her mom found her, searching frantically for her for about an hour. She has a scar on her side that she always keeps covered whenever she can.
Other: Carries a pocket knife of her own now. Hasn’t had to use it yet, but trust me, she would. She totally would.

Attitude: Asher is a very likeable person and quite outgoing. He likes to crack sarcastic jokes and sometimes be a bit of a flirt. But don’t mistake his happy outer shell for the emotional havoc that’s going on inside of him. It shows sometimes when he get’s too angry or very emotional.

He never thought much about death or anything resolutely dark like that before the incident happened. An alienated kid brought a gun to school and went on a killing spree. Asher was stuck in a classroom full of kids with his girlfriend when the gunman came in and started shooting people. Asher hid under his desk as he watched some of the kids in the classroom get shot, including his girlfriend who was too late to get to him before the gunman left. Ever since then Asher has been seeing spirits.
Other: Refuses to get to close to girls so he doesn’t fall in love with them and loose them like he did his girlfriend. He just couldn’t stand it.

Kat paced through her and her brothers’s apartment, biting her thumb, “Gah, when are they going to be here? What if they don’t show up?”
Markus looked at her from over the ede of his book.
She sighed, “I know… But seriously! What if this was all for nothing?!”
He just sighed and returned to his book.

Amy walked briskly to the door that was supposedly Kat’s. She hadn’t had much of a conversation with the girl. More like a quiet exchange of words at her work. (Yeah, she still works at ze Starbucks.) After getting a small but meaningless lecture from her boss about having personal talks during works hours, Kat just slipped her a piece of paper with this adress and left. She knocked loudly on the door, maybe a bit more forceful than intended, and had no idea what was about to go down. But she had her pocket knife tucked safely away in her boot, so she was safe if this was a hoax.

Panic, pain, fear. That was all Zak felt at this second. He’d escaped from the black room, but left with a reminder. A long scar running across his face. He had to find someone, to help him figure things out.
All of a sudden he found him self infronth of a house. The mailbox read ‘kat’. He figured if he ended up here, he was supposed to go inside. Zak walked up to the door, and knock. Only after he knocked, did he realised this could be a trap.

Dante walked to the apartment, slowly, carefully, he still managed to almost get hit by a cab, and almost fall into an open sewer. But he managed to get to the apartment realitivily unscathed. He forcefully knocked on the door once, and waited for an answer.

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Short, black haired. Wears a (Fine) leather jacket, and jeans.
Attitude: Tough guy, doesn’t accept any sort of negative act towards him. Let’s just say, if you want to keep your teeth, you better stay on his good side. Not too great with words. He’s more street smart than book smart , you could say.
Bio: After trying to pay back one of his,um, business partners. After not being able to give back the proper amount, a fight broke out. He almost got out of there, but one of the other guys was able to get a shank in his back. He than woke up in a hospital, one of the last places he’d like to be. Turns out the guy behind just missed the majority of his spinal tissue. However, since he didn’t want anyone finding out about what kind of activity he’d been up to for the last few years, he escaped to outside the hospital.

Carrie nervously rushed to the address Kat had given her a day before after getting out of class. She approached the apartment, she saw a group of people walking through the door. Probably the right place. She thought to herself, cautiously walking up to the door.

Amy gave a sweeping glance to the group around her, her brain going a million miles an hour with assumptions about them. It may sound bad, but she was only human, after all. “So… Explanations, yeah? That’s kind of what I’m hoping for.”

Eveyln pulled her jacket closer to herself, The apartment complex she looked up to was relatively small and this fact only made her shiver, though it was mostly due to the cold. She took the small set of stairs inside, then wandered the halls until she found the proper apartment, one. Person already waiting for an answer. “Hello there.” she offering trying her best to avoid any possible scare,

Dillon finally ended up at the door of the address that some girl gave to him. She said it was something about ghosts or something. Dillon never really believed in that sort of stuff, but it seemed like the right thing to do. Considering all the creepy stuff happening to him lately, it seemed like the only thing to do. He walked inside and saw a group of people waiting around.
“Eh…” He trailed off.

Evelyn sighed at the stranger’s lack of response, and rapt her knuckles against the doorframe. There was little else for her to do, and even though she was currently inside, it was freezing, the weather seeping into the complex.

Melody arrived at the apartment, clutching a piece of paper with the address scrawled across it in her hand. She saw there were people already congregating inside. She slipped in, flashing a smile to anyone who happened to be looking.

Evelyn offered a small nod off thanks to the girl who’d opened the door, and offered a mumble of thanks as she moved into the much warmer room. Her hands were still pretty much frozen and she’d decided to keep her extra items on, scarf, jacket and such. There was a seat open, though the boy who shared similar facial characteristics seemed to emanate an aura of “Keep Away.” So she decided to stand awkwardly against a wall.

When Zak saw all the people, he felt safer. He was sure 1 or 2 people wouldnt try to kill all these people. How many more people? How long until the explaination.
Zak looked around, and saw a girl standing alone, leaning against the wall. He de ode to start a conversation. “Hi, what’s your name?” The simplest wat to start a conversation.
