Note

• I do not have a wiki for this character. What you should know about him is that he is 35, so your character needs to be 34-36. He only hid the fact that he is trans back in school to avoid bullying but he has learned to no longer care about what people think as he grew older, now knowing how to stand up for himself. After graduating highschool, he soon went from going by he/him to he/it during his time of becoming a punk activist. He looks exactly like how he does in the images shown here, but describing what can't be seen, he has brown skin, a red mohawk and black hair where it's buzzed off, his piercings are all gold, and his tattoos are black. As for clothes, he wears mostly black beside his white tank top and his red, yellow, and monochrome punk rock patches that are stitched onto his pants which contain imagery of the different bands he listens to. He also wears studded motorcycle platform boots that give the illusion he's very tall, ripped denim jeans, and a couple of studded bracelets.

• For side characters, you can make them your other oc's like I plan on doing with some of the side characters that I'm playing as, but that's optional.

• I'm looking for somebody that knows how to add tension between the characters where you can't tell if they're about to kiss right now or about to murder each other. Put the slow in slowburn!

Plot

• Y/c = your character

• Y/c grew up in a household filled with homophobic and transphobic beliefs that led to them developing internalized queerphobia over time. They didn't spread their teachings at school though and Rowan was not open about the fact that he's transgender while ing as a cis man, making those the only two reasons why it was even possible for them to become friends after meeting for the first time during sophomore year.

It started off with Rowan talking to y/c while a lesson was being taught in class one day, to a friendship blossoming to the point where Rowan had developed a crush on y/c. All of junior year it felt like he was trying to figure out if y/c was subtly flirting with him or not, until they all of a sudden started doing the opposite and was avoiding him during senior year. After nearly two months had ed, Rowan had dragged y/c into a narrow alleyway after school right beside the building where he confronted them about the situation, and mid-rant he was suddenly caught off guard when the other unexpectedly kissed him.

It quickly came to an end though when a car pulled up and a horn honked, y/c being overcome with dread when they pulled away and realized it was their guardian that came to pick them up. Ever since they were caught, y/c stopped showing up to school, Rowan never getting the chance to ask what that kiss meant nor the chance to come out to him like he was getting ready to in order to see if that'd effect whatever relationship between them came next from there. The only answer he got was being explained by a student that y/c had moved away, maybe even possibly had gone to conversion therapy right after that incident took place.

Seventeen years later, y/c made a return, moving into a new house in the city they grew up in. They finally were able to start a new chapter in their life as they no longer were stuck in that ‘phase’ where they dated men in secret without putting a label on their relationship, finally listening to their family that they weren't really queer but was just confused. Little did they know though, their past was getting ready to haunt them, literally. It turned out that this was where Rowan moved to some time after highschool which is where he also ended up dying at, now strictly haunting the place as a ghost until he discovered y/c.

While y/c was sleeping, Rowan had gone over to them while they were vulnerable. He kept getting closer and closer to the new tenant, feeling like he's seen that face before. Then as he forgot that he can float even after being a ghost for several months, he managed to trip on them and enter inside their body, leading to him possessing them. They then first meet in y/c's dream, y/c thinking that they were safe once they woke up from that nightmare, until they eventually see Rowan again in the real world. What will happen when they eventually recognize him through that new punk attire? How long before y/c decides to go on the search of finding out who killed their teenage crush after his death was mistakenly ruled as a suicide? And will they ever come to with the feelings they too had for him back in highschool, that may just resurface after all these years?

My Version of Ghosts

• Rowan can't be seen by anyone, but if he is possessing a body he is able to control the person's brain into projecting minor hallucinations. He only uses this ability if he wishes for them to see him, making them hallucinate himself standing right in front of them while he is really still inside their body.

• He isn't all that powerful for a ghost, so when he is possessing somebody they mostly have to give him permission to control the body's physical actions unless he is momentarily overwhelmed by an emotion, but even then his control would last for only a split second during something like that.

• Again, permission is required for him and the person that he is possessing to be able to show each other their memories that they each separately own and . How they show their memories is just by imagining and replaying one of their choosing in their head where they can both see it since they're again, sharing the same body. The same goes for hearing one another's thoughts as well.

• When he is possessing someone he can enter into their dreams, turning them into lucid ones.

• He can leave the person's body whenever he wants to. The amount of time he spent possessing them is the amount of time the person is able to see him outside their body before he becomes invisible to them again and almost like he never existed to begin with.

• He doesn't who killed him. His death is just a blur in his memories, the most he's able to are the last sounds he heard before everything went black. He also cannot change his appearance as he forever looks like how he looked minutes prior to his death.

• Of course he has the other more well-known ghost abilities, such as intangibility and telekinesis. He's also stuck in the house he died in, unless there is a body to possess.
