  Spiritual World and the Nexus
  
  
  
  The spiritual world is one of mystery and danger. It is one that runs parallel to our own, people can feel the presence of spirits some more so than others. Those sensitive to spiritual forces can sometimes see into this other world, these are rare occasions though. Then there are areas where the planes intersect, a warping of time and space where the dead can interact with the living and vice versa. This is called a Nexus.
  
  
  There a is a variety of reasons these areas can appear. Sometimes they are willed into existence by a collection of people. Sometimes there is a shift of spiritual forces which allow temporary rifts. Most times however a Nexus is caused by a large collection of restless spirits who have yet to move on. These areas can be full of restless spirits who are not ready to pass or spirits who feel they were wronged and are very vengeful.
  
  
  Some of the spirits who exist in this space are not necessarily from the area and are instead drawn by the energies.
  
  
  
  Spirits
  
  
  
  AKA: Spooks, ghosts, specter, phantom, wraith, apparition
  
  
  Spirits are what is left of a being soul once the physical body has died. Sometimes the whole soul is left other times it is just fragments of the soul. There are many different types of Spirits who reside in this world all with varying degrees of strength and ability. Normally there are very strong emotion which are tied to spirits who have yet to pass. The stronger these emotions are the more powerful they seem to be. This is a theory which is popular however unconfirmed.
  
  
  
  Common Spirits
  
  
  Restless
  
  - Souls who have something left to do before they can pass on. These tasks are usually a last wish or message to a loved one. Sometimes there are feeling of intense regret which need to be resolved before their soul can rest.
  
  
  
  Echos
  
  - Fragmented Souls who are stuck in a loop. Whether it be a section of time they repeatedly live over and over again or an emotional loop in where they can never progress past a series of thoughts or memories. These souls are broken, normally by traumatizing or traumatic deaths.
  
  
  
  Protective
  
  - A variant from the Restless spirit, protective spirits are souls who believe they exist to watch over the living. They are often called “guardian angels or spirits” Normally they are tied to specific person or place. While they normally exist for a very long time once they feel their job is done they finally pass on and find rest.
  
  
  
  Vengeful
  
  - Spirits who have grown vengeful have been consumed by their own negative emotions. Their soul twisted and altered from their original state. Even the kindest of souls can be tainted by the strong pull of vengeful emotion turning them into very dangerous and malicious spirits. Due to how long these spirits tend to exist and the amount of emotion built up within them they are very strong, able to interact with the physical world much easier.
  
  
  Spiritual Awareness
  
  
  
  There are different levels of spiritual awareness, this correlates to how spiritual someone is or how much they believe in religion. In the Asylum players will see ghosts who wish to be seen. however there will be weaker ones, or spirits who are hiding themselves, which are more difficult to sense. Everyone will be able to see and speak to ghost unless otherwise noted.
  
  In short:
  
  The more you believe in ghosts, the spiritual plain, supernatural or religion they more sensitive you are to spiritual energies and entities.
  
  
  • Mediums - While everyone will be able to sense and see ghosts it is only because of the Nexus which allows interactions. Those who have very high spiritual awareness can see auras, weak spirits and have experience dealing with spirits before. They are able to resist possession however they are also more likely to be targeted because of their sensitivity. There will be a limited number of people allowed with this level of awareness (2 max) They will be used for plot specific reasons and I must be pmed prior to creation.

  Rules
  
  
  
  I understand there may be exceptions here and there however we are aiming to keep this length of posts up. If you are having difficult don't be afraid to work with other players to try and add to your post with interaction or possibly even work out a collaboration post. ^^ We are all here to help each other and have fun.
  
  
  Spoiler

  I highly encourage interactions an character development this means there will be a lot of posting going on. If a time comes where only one or two people are on and getting into an extended private conversations past 1-2 pages (roughly 5 - 7 posts each) please take it to Pms and post the completed conversation as one or two posts. This is mostly so the RP doesn't fill up 10 pages with just dialog and others can catch up relatively quickly.
  
  
  ▲ All RpN and RP courtesy rules (no bunnying, god moding, auto hitting, etc.) apply.
  
  
  ▲ This is planned to be a long term RP with an overarching story along with smaller subplots and events. Characters will get hurt and die.
  
  
  ▲ If you would like to have a character arch or subplot simply PM me and we'll talk about it
  
  
  ▲ If you fail to post for 2 weeks, without warning me, you will get a warning/ reminder. If I have to do this again your character will be on the chopping block and possibly killed.
  
  
  ▲ Collaborations are highly encouraged for quick conversations/interactions.
  
  
  ▲ If you have been tagged in an interaction please try to respond within a day or two. If you can't because of life off the computer please post in the OOC to let the person who tagged you know it might be a bit of a wait.
  
  
  ▲ Please be respectful with one another, swearing is allowed and so are rude character. I welcome diversity. Just be smart about it and keep the profanity to a minimum.
  
  
  Please be careful with romantic content. It is allowed but please don’t have it interfere with the ongoing plot. If anything happens where clothes are coming off, even if it is one sided, do not post it on the Rp threads. If it is for joke purposes, please keep it vague.
