Hey! What's up! I've been looking to do a little Free Form for a while but am not interested in any of the current games being run. So I figured I'd make my own! I don't have any players as of yet so for the time being this'll serve as an OOC thread until we have enough to get going. As well as signing up we can also discuss how the game is set up, I have a few ideas that I'd like to pitch and we can work from those until we find something we can all agree on.

The Setting
The fictional Spiral City, largest city in the western world. Spiral city was built around a town founded by the leaders of an evil cult and because of it it's a ghost and spirit hotspot which means it calls for a larger Ghostbuster force. Because it's fictional and very large it can make for more freedom in roleplaying.

Characters
Heres how I see the character profiles working. I'll use my character as an example after I give the rundown.

Name: First Middle Last
Gender: Male or Female
Age: How old your character is.
Date of Birth: Day/Month/Year. Assuming the starting date ingame is June 1 2010. So be sure it conforms to your age.
Appearance: A picture or a brief description.
Job: See the Job paragraph below.
Background: Not too detailed. One paragraph should do. Mostly just explain the whys and hows as to your characters current status.

My Character (example)
Name: Marty Stafford
Gender: Male
Age: 31
DoB: 01/09/1978
Appearance: Marty stands at exactly 6 feet tall and has short brown hair. Marty has dark skin and hazel green eyes. When not in uniform he often wears summer vacation wear (short pants, colourful shirts, sunglasses, sandals etc.) regardless of the weather or location.
Job:Ghostbuster
Background: Marty has lived in Spiral City his entire life and rarely leaves. Before the formation of the Spiral City Ghostbusters he worked as a freelance paranormal investigator. His father was an old family friend of Egon Spengler and recieved permission from him to open another division of the Ghostbusters outside of New York as well as Egon's original proton pack. For many years he ran a succesful Ghostbusting business until Christmas Day of 2003 where he mysteriously dissapeared on a routine job. Since then Marty has taken over as head and has since been running the business. On the side he has made it a personal mission to search for his father.

Job:
Essentially class. There'll only be three to minimize confusion. So let's go through them one by one.

Ghostbuster: The classic spirit catcher. Because Spiral City has a much more potent spirit problem the force consists of ten rather than New York's four.

Anti-Spectral: The rival to the Ghostbusters, the Anti-Spectrals are a group of rich, high powered ghost catchers with suspiciously similair technology (although it hasnt been proved that they ripped it off). Neither side has the moral high ground nor a foothold on business in the city. The Anti-Spectrals also have 10 on their team.

Civilian: Anything really. The civilian can be a mad scientist, reporter, homeless person, occult bookstore owner, insurance dealer. Whatever! When choosing this one as Job put in brackets what his actual occupation is. (example: Job: Civilian (Cameraman) )

Plot:
This is just an idea mind you, we can bat this one around until we come up with something we all like.

A freak heatwave has struck Spiral City. The rolling blackouts are taking a gradual toll on the ghost storage chambers for both the Ghostbusters and Anti-Spectrals. However something is behind this heatwave, and our characters must discover what it is before the storage chambers collapse and release years worths of captured ghosts into the populace.

I haven't thought of an ending

That's it I guess. I suppose I should include a list of whos in and doing what.

Here's a swing. Hope this is OK.

Name: Joshua Dante Creed

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Date of Birth: May 18, 1990

Appearance: Joshua, or Creed as he prefers to be called, stands at 5'9'' and weighs in at 122 lbms. He has stark black hair that contrasts sharply to his pale skin. He is not particularly muscular.

Job: Ghost-Buster

Background: Joshua is a modern day Macgyver. In addition to his ghost-catching stuff, he also carries a duffel bag with various tools in it. He was taught his engineering skills by his late father, Dante Cornelius Creed, a troubled inventor who died in an accident involving several unknon apparitions. Joshua doesn't like to talk about it.

I'd write a question about which Ghostbusters this is about but my knowledge of either amounts to the name and nothing more.

So instead I will ask, what are the essentials and as I get my answer I will get to the task, and make a character with this newly gotten lore

Perhaps a fortune teller, or the owner of an occult bookstore.

And for those of you who don't speak in rhyme, here's the translation: I haven't watched anything related to Ghostbusters but this looks fun so what's the show about? :smalltongue:

Jacob Lancer
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Date of Birth: August 18, 1989
Appearance: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d08/0840/c662384.png
Job: Ghostbuster (Intern)
Background: He grew up in Spiral City, and in fact has never left Spiral City in his life. As a kid he was very interested in ghost stories, and I'm not talking about Casper. In fact, he was a ghost every Halloween. As he grew up, his interest moved to Horror movies. Particularly, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Freedy Kreuger (I spelled that wrong...) when he heard he could do his Senior Project interning with the ghostbusters, he lept at the chance. He even has a favorite type of ghost and ectoplasm.

Hey X2! I missed you and Elm Street itp. That was fun! Fighting Freddy in their dreams. And Quinton's special power was shields.

When creating new roleplay universes, please go here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135689) and fill out the universe profile form listed in the first post, and choose an abbreviated tag for your thread titles. Perhaps [GB]?

Please edit the first post of your threads to include [Tag] in brackets at the start of the title, as it helps keep the subforum more organized.

This is not an approval process in any way, simply a way for us to keep the subforum organized and make it easier to match up players with the roleplay universes that interest them. :smallsmile:

Oh yeah, I still miss Voyage City.

It's still on page ten so we could restart it and any other Free-Form we think deserve a second chance :smallsmile:

But anyway: Can anyone tell me what Ghostbusters is about?!!

I don't know and I can't make a character before I know how the supernatural works there!

Name: Fredrick Von Manfred
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Date of Birth: 4/21/1975.
Appearance: Stands at 5 feet tall and has well groomed black hair. Fair of skin, usually wears a suit like thishttp://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071207022861/aceattorney/images/2/24/Sprite-karma.gif
Job: Anti-Spectal
Background: Born into a wealthy family, Fredrick Von Manfred was a sometimes student of the paranormal, and a part time lawyer. Thinking himself above the common man, when he decided to make sure that his cases would be free from paranormal medding, he joined Anti-Spectal as their law specialist in Spiral City.

I think I'll give this a try.

2010-08-08, 11:16 PM
I updated the list. I'll add Kurama's character when I get his background.


I don't know and I can't make a character before I know how the supernatural works there!

It's pretty vague in the movies. There's really nothing set in stone. If you want to know how people catch ghosts let me run it down.

They hold the Ghost in place with a proton pack which shoots a stream of light out the target. If they hold the ghost in place for long enough they move a trap underneath it which sucks the ghost in. A couple of rules.

1. Don't cross the streams. I can't remember all of Egon's explanation but he mentioned something about every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
2. Don't look at the trap when it goes off. This isn't so bad. Egon looked at the trap in the first movie by mistake and it didn't seem to harm him. It's just being safe.

Ghosts are much less subtle in the franchise than in real life. They'll manifest themselves visually and cause very obvious mischief. Often they'll leave ectoplasmic residue (or slime). Some more than others, the aptly named Slimer for example leaves a lot of ectoplasm around. The ectoplasm isn't harmful.

I PM'd people about the rebirth of Nightmare on Elm Street ITP. (I already put up the new thread) But it wouldn't let me PM Gremlin, which was annoying.

Um, The Gremlin is banned, which might be why you can't get a hold of him.

Character time! I hope it's not too elaborate :smallsmile:

Name: Caspar Balthazar "Balth" Goode
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Date of Birth: 7/July/1989
Appearance: Tall, dark-haired and covered in occult jewelry and talismans. Always wear a 1882 duster coat with various herbal items and items for tricks and atmosphere frequently used to impress customers. Slightly dark skin with no way of telling whether it is his normal skin colour, caused by sunlight or simply part of the style. Amber eyes.
Job: Civilian (Occult Bookstore Owner and magician)
Background: Balth is a huge fan of the occult and has as such moved to Spiral City in search for ghosts and ways to conquer the skill of magic. Having had no luck so far he dabbled in stage tricks and took work in a bookstore that soon became his as the old owner retired. Anything before his arrival in Spiral City is shrouded in mystery, not made easier by his frequent and cryptic references to his past and family line. Be there any truth to his nonsense or not.

Yes, he is a complete nutjob. He's just fortunate enough to live in a world where ghosts are common place making his claims a tad more believable :smalltongue:

Updated the first post but there are a few things the need tidying up. Since it's June 1 ingame he'd have to be 20 instead of 21 with the date you have supplied. The part in brackets on the Job section is a touch long. But other than that he's good

Fixed and jixed :smallbiggrin:

We don't necessarily need another civilian, an occult bookstore is bound to get at least some visitors among the ghost hunting members of Spiral City's populace. It's always good to know what ghosts are scared of cats and which aren't :smalltongue:

Background: Kachina comes from a long line of shamans, passed on from grandmother to granddaughter. She used to live in the country with her parents and her grandmother, who showed her how to use her abilities like healing and communicating with spirits.They had spent many hours studying plants and herbs, along with lots of meditation andhow to perform the rituals needed to communicate with the realm of the spirits. Her grandmother told her that this was where their knowledge and power came from, which would sometimes even allow them to see bits of the future. Her mother didn’t approve of Kachina being taught such ‘dangerous things’, so they moved away from the country to Spiral city where she could get some proper education.She finished high school, got her own appartment and now works at a coffee shop to pay for the rent.

He is a ghost fanboy so he would logically try to see the ghost, if not try to capture it for himself.

Job: Ghostbuster
Background: New Ghostbuster. Lazy. Actually is somewhat afraid of ghosts. Cowardly, but at times really brave. He's a new ghost member. He finds this a good opportunity, and he could earn some good money, and become a celebrity. He's really lazy, and secret scared of ghosts.

Maxios has joined the fray. Ghosts beware from his lazyness!

To explain why he's not with the others, from his lazyness he slept in late and woke up after the others left. He's calling Marty right now to find out what happened in my post.

I'm going to play Marty like a Blackadder, intelligent but also an absoloute bastard who talks down to everyone.

Also, I would like the next encounter to take place in a Hospital, so at some point much later in this encounter if someone could suffer a minor injury that'd be swell. But keeping in theme with Ghostbusters light heartedness don't make it a dramatic "woe-is-me" thing. In fact I want to wring as much comedy out of everything as I can. This FreeForm is a no angst zone.

Balth could definitely end up injured, likely while trying to bind the ghost in some manner of Chinese pottery.

I imagine it going like this:

Balth: I, Balthazar Goode, keeper of the seven scrolls and protector of the manus of Job hereby demand you to be bound by the power of Qing Xiuhan's greatest sorcere-
Ghost: *Boot to the head*

2010-08-16, 01:04 PM
Heh, I figure Maxios is probably going to cause some hilarity in this, he's probably going to make it worse:
Maxios, walking down hallway.: Come out, come out wherever you are ghost! Maxios is on the prowl!
Ghost, comes through wall towards Maxios: Is that so? GRAHHH! *yells like a maniac*
Maxios: Screams like a little girl. Runs down the hallway, and into the door. Falls down. Get's back up, screams again, opens the door, screams again, runs out.

Maxios
2010-08-16, 05:52 PM
I think when my guy get's there he'll bust a few more ghosts who decided to pop in. Good idea? One ghost is almost a little too easy. And my guy will find a way to tick them all of, and the ghosts will chase him around the bank.

2010-08-16, 08:28 PM
One ghost Maxios. Did you see how long it took the Ghostbusters in the first movie to take down one petty slimer? Teamwork.

Maxios
2010-08-16, 08:38 PM
Yeah, but it was one of their first ghosts. They were rookies then. Later on they became a more potent force. Anyone play Ghostbusters: The Videogame on the Xbox 360? You sometimes go off against 5 or more ghosts at ONCE! These guys on here I think are a lot better, and tougher. I'm sure working together we can bring down 3 ghosts.
How about 2 more ghosts in there when my guy shows up? The others work together with him, and *BAM* take them down.
Basically, my guy shows up, explores, finds 1 more ghost. Just 1 more that reigns havok on 'ol max.

Really? I don't. Right now, we're at the bank with a ghost. The Anti's are there to, but just the first one from before who was an Anti. Iceman, you could have your guy show up in a taxi like my guy did with the 'busters.

EDIT: Also, Red vs Blue blood gulch chronicles rules. It's Awesome! It's on part 2 right now.

Phantom's character hasn't even arrived yet, so they could still arrive together

Maxios

Cool. My guy's about to do solo battle with the ghost 'cuz a civilian went into the bank alone to see the ghost, and my guy barreled in to protect him, and possibly get rewarded :smallbiggrin:.

You shouldn't go in alone.
as X2 said, they had a lot of trouble with their first ghost in the movie.
Even with a little more experience, you still wouldn't be able to handle it on your own.And teamwork is one of the key elements of the Ghostbusters.
They solve it as a team.

Maxios
2010-08-17, 03:57 PM
Yeah, but the civilian was in danger, and my guy barreled into protect him from the ghost.

Eadin
2010-08-17, 03:59 PM
yeah sure, but don't go battling it alone.
It would be cool if the busters and the spectrals could work together on this one

Maxios
2010-08-17, 04:05 PM
Good idea.

I wouldn't expect a reward from Balth, he is trying to catch the ghost himself.

Not that he can, he just don't know you can't catch ghost with crosses and Latin :smalltongue:

Maxios
2010-08-18, 06:00 PM
Then why is my guy even helping your guy?

Mina Kobold

Because Balth is a crazy lunatic who have zero effect on the ghost so far and the ghost have guns?

Nothing yet. Maxios (the character) is creating crazy stories about the ghost and Jacob is annoyed.

Balth ran into the building and is currently trying to catch the ghost himself by use of catholic relics and Latin.

Maxios ran in after him spouting nonsense and some youngster with a lax uniform style is yelling at him.

So nothing much, really :smalltongue:

Maxios
2010-08-19, 02:21 PM
Yeah. Just an average day of nonsense and ghosts.

Maxios

BREAKING NEWS:
The ghost has been caught by Maxios Baxter. He had the beam on it, and the specter's did also. Maxios threw the buster's trap, and caught the bank robber ghost.
He did this in hopes of prestige and respect by the other members of the ghostbusters.
You can now go back to your normal fourm shenanigans.

Someone was thrown into a tree by a supernatural monster and the Ghostbusters are talking about a TV?

This game is awesome! :smalltongue:

I would like to point out that your character plus ours and the ghost were inside. And, I don't want to be mean, but trees usually tend not to be inside. At least, not the kind that would stop you if you were flying at it.

The ghost went outside in Maxios' post, didn't it?

If not then it was one of those palm thingies that always seem to be in banks :smallsmile:

I apoologise if I was unattenti-Bunny! :smalltongue:

He left the forum too :smallfrown:

Oh well, that won't stop me.

Just continue on from where he left and have fun :smallsmile:

As it turns out, this comment was right if he doesn't post on here again.

Shouldn't who gets to DM be decided by vote?

Eadin
2010-08-24, 12:44 PM
I agree on this.
someone else maybe wants to DM

Maxios
2010-08-26, 12:42 PM
Alright, who else wants to be GM then?

Eadin
2010-08-26, 12:53 PM
I want to be

Maxios
2010-08-26, 12:54 PM
Alright then. The in character thread is on second page, and should be quickly posted on so it doesn't fall to the third page.

Eadin
2010-08-26, 01:07 PM
I think the others should be able to vote who they want as DM, it's only fair after all

Maxios
2010-08-26, 01:11 PM
Eh.
You can vote for anyone on this thread, excpet for X2. The posistion is temporary until he returns.

if you GM, you must be fair to both teams, regardless of which you're on.

Eadin
2010-08-26, 01:13 PM
good thing is, I'm a civilian

Maxios
2010-08-26, 01:15 PM
True. You must also be fair to civilians. And you can vote for yourself.
Vote for Maxios
He promises to be a fair GM, being fair to all sides in this game. He promises funny and action packed adventures. He will make this one of the top threads, get many more players, try to get it to page 50, and will make it great.

I vote for myself.

Maxios- 1 Vote :smallcool:

Mina Kobold
2010-08-26, 02:04 PM
Guys, guess what.

Xarty (X2) is back.

He announced it just earlier today, maybe we can get him back to DM here again :smallsmile:

And then vote for someone else :smalltongue:

He haven't done anything for day, presumably Real Life is keeping him from posting.

Maybe we should just make our own plot until he comes back?

The AnimeITP games seem to be doing fine without a DM :smallsmile:

Sure, that sounds good.

Maxios
2010-09-02, 04:49 PM
Alright. Also now, it seems official the X is not going to return.

Maxios
2010-09-13, 07:48 PM
Now it's truely official X isn't returning. We should carry on here on our own and continue, and forge our own plots.

Mina Kobold

Maxios

Good then. Perhaps there's another bankrobber ghost or something?

Mina Kobold
2010-09-15, 08:26 AM

A little redundant, don't you think?

Maybe the deceased partner of our bankrobber ghost coming to get revenge? :smallsmile:

Maxios
