If you choose for your character to be a Ghost, read this only. If not...skip the Dark Green section and go to the Blue.
A beautiful white light at the end of a rather dark, black, tunnel is the only thing you see as you walk down the tunnel. You've died, how...only you know, and now you're on your way to Heaven. But things go wrong and someone bumps into you from behind, or you trip, or maybe you're curious as to what the Blackness in the tunnel feels like, and you end up falling out of the tunnel, falling rather quickly, and you end up landing at the very spot you died.
Nine Months go by and you wake up, unaware of what happened, thinking that perhaps you're alive, The Tunnel was a dream, but things are wrong, that building next to the Pub wasn't there yesterday, was it? People are bundled up in Winter clothing when it should be the dead of Summer, and snow is falling to the ground, further adding to your confusion, the colours look duller to you, almost as if they've faded. Something else bothers you, why haven't the other people walking past stopped to ask you if you're alright? Perhaps they don't care, that could be it, right?
Then you notice a boy wearing clothing that appear to be from the 19th century, rather torn, tattered, rather small for him, rather dirty looking clothes at that. The boy is looking down at you with a grin. You ask why he looks so funny, he replies rather calmly, "You're the one that looks funny to me mate." You give him a cold look but what he says next surprises you, he tells you you're dead and he explains he's seen you die. He says you're a Ghost now, and you're in Everlost, a sort of...second world within the Living world that they can not see if you will, he explains to you that you've been out cold for Nine Months, and he was checking on you ever so often to see if you where okay and if you awoke yet.
You fight the urge to scream, to cry, How can you be dead? What the fuck is wrong with this kid? But quickly you come to believe him as a young lady passes through you. You are now in Everlost, the building you see that wasn't there yesterday, that is but the memory of the building that once stood there. Apparently, the boy tells you, if a well remembered building, object, location, etc., gets destroyed somehow in the living world, and the living remember it, it passes on into Everlost. In other words, Pompeii is still as good as new, only children inhabit the city that they once called home when they where alive, Alexandria Egypt looks different to the dead, so many things still exist to the dead.
Only those 17 and under inhabit Everlost, the boy tells you he guesses it's because the Adults that end up here just don't want to be around the kids, and they go to there own little world, unseen by the children, as the children are to them. You are dead, you are now lost in Everlost, a lost soul. Will you find your way to the Light? Or would you rather stay in this world forever? The choice is yours, welcome to Everlost.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story if you choose for your character to be alive, not dead.
You are on your way to Work/School/Whatever, when suddenly you see a child that looks rather weird, as if they don't belong. You shrug it off, it could be some kid, nothing more, so you don't give it a second thought and turn your gaze to something else that catches your attention, a car passing, some billboard, someone called your name perhaps? You turn your gaze quickly back to the spot where you seen the child, but the kid's gone.
What the fuck? You're confused and began searching for the child, walking into a nearby shop to look for the kid, looking in the alley, just to see if you're not going crazy, but find no trace of the kid. Maybe you are going crazy, you think. You've just saw a Ghost, Great Britain is riddled with them, everywhere you go you see a spirit, be it an adult, or a child.
They're the inhabitants of a world you've never heard of, Everlost. The children are separated from the adults, and Teenagers 17 and up.
Days go by, and you continue to see spirits, most try to talk to you, most are in your home, your school/work, at your friends house. Are you going crazy? Could be, or it could be simple, you can see the dead, and talk to them.
Perhaps you choose to talk to the spirits, or simply ignore them, the choice is yours. But if you talk to them others think your crazy, you're talking to yourself and answering questions apparently asked by no one. Perhaps you can better use this ability? Maybe help them pass on? If they have anyone alive they wish to talk to, find the person they want to talk to? Or maybe you can use this simply for fun? Again, the choice is yours.
You are living, alive and breathing unlike the adults & Children of Everlost...seperated by the fact neither can see each other in the Ghost World, you are...like them...a resident of Everlost, but you are not dead...yet. Welcome to Everlost.
