  1. That sounds really cool. How does it work? You bowl, and then you get transported? Or is it just a disguise that the room is a bowling alley, when reality it's just a teleported?
  2. @Hemalurgic_Headshot The door does occur...though, it wouldn't occur in the first book, if there even is a possibility for other books. And...probably not anytime soon. I really like this idea, but I just don't have the time to work on it. I'll probably start it up during spring break and over summer break, if I get the motivation to do so. @Belzedar That's part of my problem writing this book. Everything about the world makes sense in my head, because I've already planned out a hell lot of the plot. But I'm not sure how to explain why things happen, more what happens, and how. But that's what I'm working on. I'll go ahead and attempt to answer your questions though. Maybe I was confusing at first, but the rogue spirits are just people who died, but don't want to be dead. Personality traits (unless they've been damaged) are pronounced in Spirits...I don't know where I was going with that or why I brought it up now.... Okay, so while personality traits are pronounced in Spirits, their bad qualities are also pronounced. So, an insane murderer who died and he was hardly damaged at all. He hates being dead, and he goes even more insane as a Spirit. A Ghost's job (in theory) is to make sure he never gets to the real world. But that's hard with so few Ghosts, all of the people that have died throughout human history, and the fact that there a quite a few places with strong connections to the Spirit World. MOST rogue Spirits are similar to that, though some aren't nearly as evil. The Spirit World is almost like a kingdom...sort of. There is a very small council of Ghosts that have been around for millennia. Oh, it's important to mention that after a certain amount of time, a Ghost loses their power and is given a few options. They can either request to join the council (though this doesn't happen very often), or become a normal Spirit. Anyway, the Ghosts (if they follow the rules) act similar to cops, just making sure Spirits don't do anything dumb pretty much. Though a Ghost is not required to do so, they usually, not always, feel a calling to do it anyway. The oldest Spirits are mostly harmless (unless they've gathered lots of power to keep their Aura strong), and are pretty much like cattle to be herded (though this is hardly necessary) because over time, an Aura will grow weaker until the Spirit no longer exists. The younger Spirits are the ones that are the most dangerous, because they're usually more likely to want to return to the Real World, unless they're were damaged and have forgotten themselves. Because are Ghosts are immortal (up to a certain point), and their physical bodies are mostly Spirit World projections (I just made that term up now, but that's pretty much what I've been thinking), they, just like Spirits, have their traits pronounced. So, if a Ghost was already power-hungry or insane, over time those traits would become stronger (opposite to that of a Spirit). That's not to say a Spirit or Ghost can't change their personality, but the longer they've been around, the more permanent their traits become. The evil Ghosts are led by one that has been around for over a thousand years. He was a ruler of an empire before his death, and when he became a Ghost, he became even more power-hungry. His goal is to take over the entire Spirit Realm. The reason the council doesn't just take away his powers is because they don't decide who gets powers and they can't them away either. The only thing they decide is when a Ghost joins the council (or assignments for Ghosts to hunt down certain Spirits). This Ghost, who I have yet to name, has been amassing an army for his entire Ghost-life and has managed to avoid most of the good Ghosts that have gone searching for him. Those he couldn't avoid didn't survive. I think I answered all your questions, but I bet you have even more now. Miscellaneous facts: -The term Ghost isn't what they're truly called, but that's the term the Ghosts who stay in the Real World (not all of them are evil; some just choose not to help the Spirit World) have come up with. Their actual title is Guardian. -I may or may not have an idea for a follow up series set a thousand years after this series based around the idea of giant Gates-doors to the Spirit Realm the size of a six story building-across the world. The Spirit Realm would be controlled by one, really powerful Ghost. The idea isn't the people of Earth have a group of warriors stationed around the Gates called Guardians that fight the monsters (Spirits) that come from the Gates. -In the Spirit Realm, you could be speaking to someone who speaks Japanese, but you would see their lips move and hear them as if they were speaking English. -If I really got this idea published, my planned order of books is this: Ghost, Specter, Phantom.
  3. Yeah. Though, they aren't supposed to. A Ghost's purpose is to stop the inevitable leak of rogue Spirits from the Spirit Realm and to keep order in the Spirit Realm itself (though, for a new Ghost, the only way they could get to it would be through a place where the connection between realms is strong or being taught how to do it on command). Also, areas where there has been lots of death (as in huge battles, nuclear bombed sites, etc.), the connection to the Spirit World is a lot stronger, and Spirits could (if they were strong enough) break through. Usually this appears as a random door (imagine more of a castle gate but narrower and a lot smaller) to darkness appearing, and a Spirit will escape. The door closes soon after (not literally closing, as it is a tear through the realms, and appears as a black nothingness-if you go behind it, it's not there and you can walk through where it would be, but if you walk through the front, you get sent to the Spirit World). A Spirit, however, has very little control over the real world without a physical form. It is possible to create a semi-permanent or permanent door, though only a Ghost could do this. The more damage done to someone before they die weakens their aura before it even leaves their body. When the Spirit arrives to the Spirit World, they may be damaged (lost memories and/or personality). Is there anything else you're curious about? @Belzedar
  4. Thanks, it makes me happy to know someone found it cool. Well, I've come up with a very complicated world in my head. Pretty much, he died at the same time the previous "Ghost" died, so they traded places. A "Ghost" is like an immortal being who can travel between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. It's a lot more complicated than that though. His powers are the obvious intangibility/invisibility, but he can fly when he's intangible as well. Everyone has an aura, a representation of the life force of that person that only Ghosts can see. When a person dies, that life force goes to the Spirit Realm. But there are some Spirits, which I have yet to name yet, that latch on to a living person and persist after death; this is shown by the gray aura. The darker the aura, the longer the Spirit has been in the host, and the stonger the Spirit is. If a Ghost is strong enough, they can take a Spirit and force it to the Realm of the Living, which would create it a new body; however, they would pretty much be a mindless zombie. What's more commonly done is forcing the Spirit to inhabit a person, which allows the Ghost to control them (note: when a Spirit inhabits someone, that person mostly ceases to exist, and their Spirit merges with that of the Spirit inside of them). The doctor, obviously, is the minion of someone who does NOT like Ghosts to "go rouge." Pretty much, there's a secret group of Ghosts that hunt down other Ghosts, kill them, and then find the new Ghost that is made and see if they can convince them to work for them. If not, they kill them. This doctor, who has been inhabited a long time, went against his master's order of knocking out Ian and instead decided to kill him (with his power he's collected, he would be able to transfer to Ian's body and reanimate it). There's a lot more than that, but I'm too lazy to go into even more detail.

  6. Candy (Because I don't know what that is, and it looks like dulce, which is Spanish for candy)
  7. DragonVale (It's an app)
  8. Some of that I already knew, and was partially because I wrote this when I was 12/13. Most of your advice was really good, and holy cow...that description of the needle...I REALLY wanna use that now.
  9. So, I'm trying to make music, and I thought it'd be cool to see what you guys think of it. WARNING: It's undertale remix trash
  10. Is there anything I can improve on? Anything I need to fix? Is something unclear?
  11. Did you know there's a city in Missouri called Mexico?
  12. Oh, I know. I'm not gonna stop paying attention. I don't have easy access to YoutTube anyway, so I probably won't be able to watch them most of the time, but I will check them out. Though, not cramming the day before the test will be a bit harder.
  13. Does that mean you already knew Spanish in 7th grade? Or that it was just really easy? Do those videos really help with WHAP? I know they're good for basic stuff, but do they actually somewhat line up with the curriculum of World History?
  14. So, this was a book idea I had a few years ago in eight grade after I saw whatever Marvel movie was out at the time. I had the amazing idea to make a series of books about superheroes. That idea spawned this character. I started writing it, and I was certain that I would go on to write an entire book, but I lost inspiration/forgot about it. I just remembered it, and I was surprised to see I still have it. So, I decided what the heck. I kind of like it, except for my writing style at the time (yes, I know I accidentally switched from present to past to present all over the place, I was just too lazy to go back and fix it).
  15. @TwiLyghtSansSparkles and @Shqueeves, thanks for the hugs guys. I know I need to, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to end it any time soon...I've become too...attached isn't the word, but it's close.
  16. Español 4 AP y Historia del Mundo AP. (Spanish 4/WHAP) EDIT: But this isn't about me, it's about Stevorso.
  17. Hello there, newcomer. I'm a fairly new member as well, but so far I've really enjoyed my stay. And that's coming from someone who hasn't read any of the Cosmere (yet), though I plan to get on that. School's just bee not busy with two AP classes.
  18. Gift - ACXLE He's a fairly unknown artist. As in, he has less than 100 followers on SoundCloud. I just saw him hit 95.
  19. Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. It's just...I can't imagine my life without him being a major role in it. Well, no, I can. I just don't like the idea of it. At the same time, we're still young.
  20. Immortal Flame - Panda Eyes and Teminite (Feat. Anna Yvette)
  21. I have an SO, but my parents are really religious and have banned me from seeing him; however, they don't know he's my SO. Just that they don't want me hanging out with him or texting him. Of course, we still sit together before school and at lunch...but I always feel like we don't really get to be around each other enough...and I'm always afraid my parents will find out. I really like him, but I don't know if the benefits outweigh the risks here....
  22. Thank you. I'll find a way to watch it it some day.
  23. So, the only episodes I've watched of Doctor Who are from the Tenth Doctor because, for some reason, Disney aired them on the Disney XD channel, and I just happened to be watching at the time. I have no idea where I should start watching it, but I really want to. Any suggestions?
