Hiatus

So, as you know, this has been inactive for quite awhile.  I wanted to leave it technically open as long as there was nothing else going on, but now that @mgclmayhem has arrived to bring us back from the brink and @waynnews is on the way, I think it’s time to say our goodbyes to Lyndhurst, at least for now.  Of course, if you suddenly get inspiration, feel free to at any time pop on and comment, or what-have-you, to your hearts content.  

In any case, maybe we’ll revisit this sometime in the future, but for now, it’s time to move on to other things.  Love you guys and hope to rp w you all again v soon!!!!  <333

says that, bc of her last name, she was always destined to work in a kitchen

kinda wishes that after a few centuries she’d at least be considered for promotion though

not that it’s really important atp seeing as she’s dead

she’s just gotten bored of doing the same thing everyday since the enlightenment

loves flowers and plants

in charge of the kitchen gardens and loooves it

it’s kinda nice to nurture life when you’ve been dead for a few hundred years

the most happy/upbeat ghost you’ll ever meet

honestly the happiest person ever

still, don’t think that bc she’s nice she’s a pushover you’ll get more than you’ve bargained for here honestly

looks out for ppl, takes care of them <3

two of her best friends have finally been reincarnated, but ofc they don’t remember the enlightenment

she’s patient though and she is simply happy to be with them again

ZACHARY DREW (27) Colton Haynes - OPEN Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Paranormal Investigator Relationship(s): Catalina Gonzalez, Chelsea Kane, Sean Lloyd (friends/fellow investigators), Holly Graves (friend/fellow investigator/interest), Jesse Campbell, Victor Carrington, Lucy Kane (friends)

if the paranormal investigation gang is scooby-doo, this guy is fred smdh

zach is the unofficial leader

def a lil vain and thinks he’s pr cool and that this is gonna make him famous smdh

still, he means well and he does believe in ghosts and wants to learn about them

honestly, they’re all in over their heads at lyndhurst but those aren’t zach’s protests

his main complaint is honestly that he is (secretly) terrified of flying and going to england and back will require flying twice

asshat with a heart of gold

genuinely cares about the paranormal investigation gang though like he always does his best to look out for them

totally has a thing for holly but she mostly rolls her eyes at him????

still, she’s the one he wants

doesn’t love that she spends her free time flirting w other guys, tbh, but she’s a free woman and besides they never stick in her life and zach does so there’s that, at least

[lyndhursthall]

so passionate about food omg

given half a chance he wILL talk your ear off about recipes????

but honestly he’s an artist leT HIM WORK

def has a crush on ——, but has no idea she’s actually a ghost

they geek out about food a lot honestly most ppl just go ???????

ken is such a nice person honestly, just so warm and sweet

so unprepared

he went to culinary school to get better bc he has this passion but his father wanted him to go into the law

they’ve had a tense relationship since then

ken was beyong grateful when he got this job

he’s been working here for a little over a year, now

has def started to notice a lot of weird stuff and suspects that ghosts are real atp but it sounds too crazy to say out loud

and for all that he suspects certain apparitions, he doens’t realize his co-workers are dead

[lyndhursthall]

CATALINA GONZALEZ (24) Lindsey Morgan - OPEN Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Paranormal Investigator/Mechanic Relationship(s): Zachary Drew, Holly Graves (friends/fellow investigators), Chelsea Kane, Sean Lloyd (best friends/fellow investigator), Jesse Campbell (friend/interest), Victor Carrington, Lucy Kane (friends)

cat is one of the smartest people you’re ever gonna meet

she designed and configured all the equipment the gang uses, as well as maintaining it now

ridiculously upbeat, super stoked!!!! about their investigations and ghosts and the preternatural

true believer

always smiling

between them, cat and ian are the brains of the operation

which doesn’t seem like it’s saying much bc like 75% of what they do is pr hairbrained..but cat and ian actually are ridiculously smart

always encouraging the others

wants to meet lots of ghosts and hear their stories and learn about their experiences and honestly just geeks out about paranormal stuff on the daily smdh

doesn’t like too much downtime

tinkering w stuff relaxes her

works as a mechanic back home and is thinking about applying to help out in the garage at lyndhurst while she’s here for extra parts and extra $$$$

[lyndhursthall]

HOLLY GRAVES (27) Teresa Palmer - OPEN Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Paranormal Investigator/Waitress Relationship(s): Lucy Kane (best friend), Zachary Drew (associate/friend/annoyance), Catalina Gonzalez, Chelsea Kane, Sean Lloyd (associates/friends), Jesse Campbell, Victor Carrington (friends), Mark Bishop, Seth Parker, Ezra Westcombe (flirtations), Aaron Kent (interest)

holly isn’t as passionate about finding ghosts, per se, as the others in her group are

holly is in this for the stories

she loves these losers and she honestly kinda looks out for them????

someone’s gotta do it (and it shouldn’t be zach drew)

she ~gets people more than the others and she’s kinda their relationship manager????

she likes to say she’s a human who can speak fluent nerd but she says it w a lot of love <3

she and lucy spend a lot of time shaking their head at the antics of the others

still, this is pr fun i mean they’re always going somewhere and doing something and that’s pr much holly’s speed

she’s also been enjoying flirting w all the pretty boys here…living or dead

doesn’t want to be tied down to anyone or anywhere ever

thrives on adventure

would probs drive off a cliff just for a thrill if she got desperate enough tbqh

[lyndhursthall]

REBECCA GREENE (31) Deborah Ann Woll - RESERVED BY EMILEE Status: Psychic Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Socialite/Philanthropist Relationship(s): Genevieve Greene (sister), Andrea Davenport, Giselle Davenport, Ilsa Montgomery (best friends), Christian Barlow, Michael Cross, Michael Harris, Emily Harris, Ryan Orson, Jillian Pierce, Kala Sharma, Indira Sharma, Juniper Wright (friends), Luke Durant, Seth Parker, Fletcher Stern (ex-boyfriends), Daniel Fischer, Brandon Pierce (annoyances), Joshua Ford (interest)

when becca and andrea started a charity together a few years ago, they never really expected the level of success it would have

it worked out well, however, as becca desperately wanted something meaningful to do with her daily life and the charity ended up needing a socialite who could round up others of her class to give generously

along with andrea, becca is the face of their charity, and becca sees to the daily running of it

it’s her baby and becca is v passionate about making a difference

becca is sharp as a tack and capable as well as compassionate and fun-loving and balances these qualities each and every day

she’s had the opportunity to work with josh ford a great deal in the past and has developed feelings for him, and, though they’re friends, she’s confident he doesn’t feel the same way on that level

to make matters worse, danny fischer won’t stop pestering her

she doesn’t know if it’s her looks or her money, but she’s not interested in giving either to man she’s confident doesn’t want her for her mind or soul as well

still, there’s a part of her that has on occasion contemplated giving in for the sake of distraction

as if all this weren’t enough, things ended terribly with both luke durant and seth parker and she never really got closure on either

it sucks to see one of them, but both is really weighing on her

hence the need for distraction

perhaps she gives it away too easily, but becca always believed in being honest with her heart as well as her mind

regardless, it’s safe to say her heart’s a mess

as a psychic, becca can sense the emotions of others, but she can’t always tell who’s emotions she’s feeling or even whether or not they’re own

which leads to a hell of a lot of confusion

[lyndhursthall]

SEAN LLOYD (24) Dylan O’Brien - TAKEN BY TINA Status: Human/Paranormal Investigator Relationship(s): Zachary Drew, Catalina Gonzalez, Holly Graves, Chelsea Kane (friends/fellow investigators), Catalina Gonzalez (best friend/fellow investigator/interest), Jesse Campbell (best friend), Elizabeth Baker, Victor Carrington, Lucy Kane (friends)

comes off kinda dumb sometimes but he’s actually super smart

assists cat w the equipment and they brainstorm together a lot about things

they’re def the brains of the operation

if the gang is ghostbusters, he’s ray

sean forever has some ridiculous/genius idea??????

super enthusiastic about what they’re doing

he’s the one who’s in charge of all the research and omg he def geeks out over it ngl

tends to talk a mile a minute about his findings to the point where even his fellow investigators shake their heads at him

actually really brave when it counts but that surprises most people

total sweetheart honestly, super generous

sean may or may not have made jesse a fake passport but shh you didn’t hear that here

paranormal investigation was the brainchild he had with chelsea kane and the two of them went around assembling members and somehow they wound up here

this is the most haunted place sean has ever been and he could not be more excited if he tried

the history is literally ancient and the deeper he digs, the more intense it gets

what’s more, sean is starting to get the impression that maybe some of these people actually know what’s going on and believe but just won’t admit it

sean can’t help wondered what they’ve walked into

lyndhurst in unlike anything they’ve ever seen before

[lyndhursthall]

ETHAN LLOYD (27) Grant Gustin - TAKEN BY TINA Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Pizza Delivery Guy/Footman Relationship(s): Sean Lloyd (brother), Jesse Campbell, Benjamin Holt (best friends), Dahlia Addison, Victor Carrington, Zachary Drew, Catalina Gonzalez, Lucy Kane, Chelsea Kane (friends), Holly Graves (ex-girlfriend), Hope Donovan (interest), Hugo Gonzalez, Santiago Ramirez (co-workers)

just got a job at lyndhurst as a footman but honestly he doesn’t plan to stay here forever

he’d kind of miss nyc and his baby too much

has the most beat up bike in all of nyc and honestly it’s his baby

boasts that he can strap ten pizzas onto that baby

ian: is that something you should be boasting about?

honestly the sweetest person ever

such???? a dork?????

loves puns more than life

don’t let him even attempt to cook using anything other than a microwave (and even then, stand back)

you’ve been warned

more of an alien nerd than ghost nerd but ghosts are cool too

he ~wants to believe~ but doesn’t really deep down

star trek and comics (honestly he’s more of a dc guy ;D) are his jam

but spidey and deadpool own his butt too

king of dumb quips smdh

so excited to be visiting his bro (of whom he’s super supportive <3) but is lowkey scared of forests and considering where lyndhurst is located that’s unfortunate

trying to play it cool though

esp since he’s about to see holly again and that’s always a maelstrom of emotion

[lyndhursthall]

BRANDON PIERCE (34) Colin O’Donoghue - OPEN Status: Reincarnate Past Life Era(s): Renaissance, Baroque Occupation: Photographer Relationship(s): Sophia Walker (deceased sister), Jillian Pierce (sister), Anthony Walker (brother-in-law/best friend), Daniel Fischer, Theodore Remington, Basil Slater (best friends), Juniper Wright (best friend/interest), Mark Bishop, Nicholas Cook, Seth Parker, Piers Storm (friends), Elaine Price, Kala Sharma (ex-girlfriends), Desdemona Carrington, Nora Castleton (ex-flings), Rebecca Greene, Joan Wilder, Sage Winston (flirtations)

bran may be a notorious flirt, but his intention was never actually been to hurt anyone

he just doesn’t really think before he acts and he likes to make pretty girls smile???? that’s about as far as he gets intellectually????

which means, ultimately, that he leads tons of ppl on and has no??? idea????

for once, though, chasing pretty girls isn’t on his mind

he’s here to support one sister and remember another

and he’s here to help tony, who’s basically the brother he never had

ofc his version of helping tony is v different from jill’s

bran will take him out places, introduce him to pretty girls (he knows phia would want tony to find someone), ~distract him, whereas jill seems more intent on nurturing him and talking him out which, in bran’s mind, is counterproductive

they’ve already argued about it several times and bran knows they’ll argue over it much more before they’re through

still, they both have tony and each other’s best interest at heart and both of them know that, at least

bran met juniper wright through tony and they hit it off

unfortunately, bran has developed feelings for her which is wildly inconvenient, since she’s involved with tony, so bran fully intends never to say a word about it

bran loves his family and, while he tends to be a bit, well, wild, when the going gets tough, he’ll always be there for the ones he loves (surprising most of them)

loosing phia was the hardest thing he’s ever endured but he has ultimately come through it a stronger person

but he’d trade it all in a heartbeat to have his sister back

[lyndhursthall]

JILLIAN PIERCE (32) Katie McGrath - TAKEN BY KATE Status: Reincarnate Past Life Era(s): Middle Ages, Victorian, Modern Occupation: Executive Assistant Relationship(s): Sophia Walker (deceased sister), Brandon Pierce (brother), Anthony Walker (brother-in-law/best friend), Alphonsus Storm (past life husband), Aldus Storm (past life interest), Elaine Price, Kala Sharma, Joan Wilder, Juniper Wright (best friends), Giselle Davenport, Rebecca Greene, Dean Hawkins, Indira Sharma, Bonnie Strong (friends), Michael Cross, Basil Slater (ex-boyfriends), Theodore Remington (friend/interest)

a lot of terrible things came from phia’s death, but jill and bran and tony all banding closer together was one good thing

nothing can ever replace phia, but jill knows she couldn’t have made it through that loss if she hadn’t had tony and bran there with her

tony’s like a brother to her and, if she has to loose her sister, she’s beyond glad she has him

which is part of why she wanted to be here for him on his first extended trip back to lyndhurst

it might not be a great time to be thinking of phia, for him, but he’ll be doing that anyway

since his family disowned him, the pierces are the closest he’s got to family left besides lionel (whom, frankly, jill doesn’t really trust)

she just wants to support tony through this, esp since she knows what he went through last time

she and bran argue about just how to do that: jill wants to support tony through this experience and bran just wants to distract him, which she feels is counterproductive

notwithstanding, though, she’s v glad there are two people there to look out for him

as for jill, she fully intends to collect a few of her sister’s things that were left at phia and tony’s cottage

it’s been eight years, and jill is ready to stop grieving her loss and start celebrating her life

[lyndhursthall]

BASIL SLATER (34) B.J. Britt - OPEN Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Security for Julian Griffith Relationship(s): Nicholas Cook (best friend/cousin), Christian Barlow, Brandon Pierce, Raphael Radcliffe (best friends), Julian Griffith (employer), Miles Griffith (employer’s deceased brother), Kala Sharma (co-worker), Helena York, Evelina York (occasional employers), Constance York (deceased occasional employer), Mark Bishop, Daniel Fischer, Juniper Wright (friends), Jillian Pierce, Joan Wilder (ex-girlfriends), Elaine Price (flirtation), Indira Sharma (interest)

basil feels that he’s failed

true, his job wasn’t to watch over miles, but miles was a part of julian’s family and now he’s dead

and granted, there was probably nothing basil could have done, seeing as miles crashed his own car, but that doesn’t stop the feeling of guilt, either

especially on account of poor constance york

given their connection, basil would often do freelance work for the yorks and he’s always respected the lot of them

he can’t imagine what either family must be going through

basil is honestly the most thoughtful guy ever

always goes the extra mile

loves to make ppl smile

so???? fun-loving????

which is part of why he has the tendency to flirt

it’s not exactly meaningless, but he doesn’t always mean it to go anywhere either???? but he absolutely would never want anyone to ever get hurt

elaine has been the one receiving most of his intentions, lately, and he was v interested in pursuing a real relationship w her, when he first met her

but then he met indira and honestly he thinks he might be in love with her

still, admittedly, basil is a little gun-shy just now

the only other person he ever loved was joan and that didn’t end so v well

and he doesn’t particularly want to get hurt again

so he continues to flirt w elaine and pretend he doesn’t have feelings, never thinking that it might be elaine who gets hurt in the process

[lyndhursthall]

JUSTINIAN WESTCOMBE (32) Bradley James - TAKEN BY KATE AA Status: Reincarnate Witch Past Life Era(s): Middle Ages Occupation: Socialite Relationship(s): Cressida Westcombe (half-sister), Lucius Westcombe (grandfather), Ezra Westcombe (cousin), Seth Parker, Santiago Ramirez, Blaise Storm (best friends), Clotilde Montgomery (best friend/interest), Emma Reed, Faith Sinclair, Carmina Strong (ex-girlfriends), Dahlia Addison (flirtation), Ursula Castleton, Verena Storm (reincarnated past life cousins), Philip Grey (reincarnated past life best friend), Mark Bishop, Matthew Cross, Brandon Pierce, Jillian Pierce, Kala Sharma, Piers Storm, Beatrice Storm, Bonnie Strong, Dominic Wilder (friends), Miles Griffith, Constance York (deceased friends)

gets a front row seat to watching his best friend string along the girl he has feelings for

it’s really fun

ian flirts w her, himself, but she somehow never seems to get that he’s actually interested (but then, he’s kind of a flirt, in general, so that one might be on him)

it’s a mess

cressida and ezra keep telling him he needs to just kiss her already but ian would rather know she’s interested first

he suspects she isn’t

he’s been trying to move on lately, which is part of why he started flirting w dahlia addison

kinda comes off like a jerk sometimes but he’s actually really kind

‘im not great w the advice can i interest you in a sarcastic comment?’ ~ian asp probably

honestly a total big brother will look out for you whETher you liKE it or noT

always up to laugh, super snarky

shows affection by teasing ppl/insulting ppl?????

ian was conceived out of wedlock, so his grandfather forced his parents to marry

it ended about as well as you might expect

ian kinda picked up some issues from all that but he’s a good person at heart

carries a lot of weight on his shoulders

is constantly blamed by his grandfather for the scandal that fell on the westcombe family first from the circumstances of his birth and later from the divorce

always trying to live up to his grandfather’s impossible expectations and prove himself worthy

what no one sees is that ian is the one that’s holding the westcombe family together

[lyndhursthall]

CRESSIDA WESTCOMBE (24) Cara Delevingne - RESERVED BY JENN Status: Reincarnate Witch Past Life Era(s): Victorian Occupation: Curator Relationship(s): Justinian Westcombe (half-brother), Ezra Westcombe (cousin), Mercedes Davenport, Clotilde Montgomery, Santiago Ramirez, Carmina Strong (best friends), Dahlia Addison, Elizabeth Baker, Quintus Barlow, Nadia Carlisle, Hope Donovan, Hugo Gonzalez, Beatrice Storm, Roland Storm, Anastasia Storm, Gabriel Storm, Albert Vaine, Phoebe Winters, Lola Wyatt, Evelina York (friends), Ambrose Storm (ex-boyfriend), Percival Storm (reincarnated past life fiancé)

cress is actually ridiculously smart but it’s hard to tell bc she also kinda lives in her own world 95% of the time

spends lots of time thinking about history and all the exciting things that have happened over time

she gets a lil caught up in her inner life and neglects her outter one???

a lil eccentric

always kind of attracted to dark things????

cress was a believer in the preternatural before she ever got w/ ambrose and saw evidence for herself

some ppl kinda think she’s nuts ngl but anyone who really knows her knows better

everyone????? was so ??????? when cress and ambrose got together but they actually really looked out for each other????

no one’s really sure why things ended between cress and ambrose, as neither of them will talk about it

cress actually didn’t realize she was a witch till ambrose told her he thought she was????

keeps it secret that she knows from everyone but ambrose and her brother (who confirmed that she’s a witch)

still only has unconscious immaculate magic but is waiting eagerly for the conscientious magic to kick in

until then, she’s content to watch the weather and know that her mood can impact it

[lyndhursthall]

JUNIPER WRIGHT (29) Emilia Clarke - TAKEN BY KATE AA Status: Human Past Life Era(s): n/a Occupation: Chief Librarian Relationship(s): Ava Wright, Sarah Wright (sisters), Robert Carver, Vanessa Winters (bosses), Lionel Storm (master), Anthony Walker (interest), Elaine Price (best friend/unknown romantic rival), Brandon Pierce, Jillian Pierce (best friends), Blaise Storm (best friend/ex-boyfriend), Sophia Walker (unknown romantic rival), Stephen Armstrong, Rebecca Greene, Aaron Kent, Kala Sharma, Indira Sharma, Noah Turner (friends), Michael Cross (co-worker)

june didn’t quite know what to expect when she came here, but it certainly wasn’t this

whatever the case, however, she grateful for the opportunities that have come her way and rolls with the oddities

she’s become accustomed to the family and, frankly, to not understanding or questioning it, as there always seem to be more members of whom no one speaks but mr carver or mrs winters can verify

in a way, june enjoys the strangess of the place: it’s always diverting and it prevents her from becoming bored

she feels as though she’s living out some gothic horror novel and laughs with her sisters

she’s now returning from a conference to lyndhurst and feels happy to be coming home and to be seeing tony walker again, unaware that his dead wife is currently haunting him #awkward
