So I've decided to post my random characters up here as I come up with them. They are mostly created from a rp skeleton, but aren't necessarily for rp. The only one I have right now is Miles, so here he is, in all his ghostly glory.
Name: Miles Lensmark
Race: Human, but a ghost.
Age: Has existed for more then 50 years, but was only alive for 26 of those.
Sex: Male
Personality Traits: While alive he was a fairly cheerful person, though prone to bouts of melancholy. He was relaxed most of the time, but could very quickly turn serious and focused. He came up with wild conspiracy theories constantly, then almost immediately discarded them. He was very passionate about many things, but then quickly lost interest in them.
Since his death he has gone insane, and believes the characters in books to be real. This may be because, though he doesn’t know it, his spirit is recorded or trapped in a book, and that it why he is not fully dead. He can ramble for hours at a time to himself or ‘his’ books. He is susceptible to depression if a book he was reading (over someone elses shoulder) is stolen or lost. He loves his library and his books.
Because he is insubstantial and invisible, no one has seen him in the 24 years since he died. This led to him thinking of people as being not real, or at least not as real. He has a phobia of cats, because they are the only animal that can see him, and being seen scares him.
He is a very curious person, and enjoys observing the people he sees.
Physical Traits: Miles is lanky, tall and pale, with a light dusting of freckles. He has average brown hair and eyes. His hair is fairly short and slightly wavy. He is wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up above his elbows, stained on the left side with old dried blood, brown pants and trainers.
He has a scar on the left side of his chest, just beside his heart, from the shotgun that killed him. His hair is just long enough to cover most of his ears, the back of his neck, and his forehead without getting in his eyes. If he is scared or distressed in someway, he will grab his hair in his fists and pull it, and his wound will open and bleed fresh blood.
He has a pointed nose upon which rests a dark brown pair of rectangular reading glasses.
History: Miles was an assistant librarian at a local high school, when a group of anarchist students smuggled guns into the school and attacked all the authority figures they came across. Miles was helping a teacher do a demonstration on research in the library when they burst in. He was the only person killed in the entire shootings.
Somehow, his spirit was recorded in book, but whether this was an accident, or someone wrote it, or how it was created is a mystery. Anyone who reads this book can see Miles.
The book he was ‘recorded’ in is an old sand coloured paperback with no title except for a gold embossed M.L. in the right bottom corner. It is the only book, for that matter the only object, in the library that he can touch. He can’t go more then 20 meters from it, and if he goes further he will start to fade away until he no longer exists.
As a child he was a bit of a loser, and spent a great deal of time in the library. He lived in Yembridge his entire life. Yembridge is a fairly small town almost directly on the border between Wales and England.
