The Page Turner
Pitching a simple premise with a mix of three groups. Normals. ParaNormals. Ghosts.
'Page-turning concepts'. I know.
Normals: Nothing new to any of us, just people trying to get through life as best as they are able. Everyone abiding by their own methods to do so.
ParaNormals: Born or trained. Individuals with abilities that blur the line between what is explainable by science and full-blown miracles. Abilities can range from simply a sensory boost allowing them to detect certain kinds of spirits as result of this 'mutation' to inherited 'powers'. Trained individuals capable of handling a variety of 'Ghosts' or specific types as well.
Ghosts: Benign or Malignant. If humans are healthy cells that know when to die via apoptosis then 'Ghosts' are the effect of something gone terribly wrong in the process. Left on the mortal plane after being tethered by some unfinished matters they can wander idly or stalk with dreadful purpose.
My idea for a group RP, if I were to ever design one, would focus on the sudden 'explosion' of spectral activity across the world as of the year 2020. Initially coming to notice by govt. across the world, as a minor statistical increase in accidental deaths, the efforts of a few show the irrefutable presence of ghosts. Addressed initially as an elaborate world-wide hoax by those who didn't witness events directly, it grew increasingly obvious by the end of the year. Studies were immediately conducted revealing that ghosts only seem to move within certain 'confines'.
These confines were all linked to man-made structures and constructions. Cities were evacuated in their entirety. Possessions ripped from their hands even as they began to live on the periphery of their old homes. It would seem that ghosts could also not cross water on anything other than man-made items.
A lot of other ideas in my head as well but this is the gist of the backdrop.
What happens next?
Man waits. Man plans. Man tries to retake his home.
Therein lies the humble beginnings of the joint 'Spec. Tacklers' initiative. A group of people, both normal and not, that are trying to figure out the mystery behind the sudden explosion of spectral activity and how they can return things to the way they were before.
