Welcome to Ghosts of the Past's FIRST Role Play Contest. This contest is completely free, and the winner will recieve the Atlantis Wand.

First of all, what is Ghosts of the Past? Ghosts of the Past is a new breedable/changing "pet" shop. Even if they aren't pets. They're highly Role played magical children that go through 11 stages of life.

But what ARE ghosts of the past? Ghosts of the past are people, normally of magical quality, who have died a horrible, painful, or wrongful death. Because of this, and the spell Matilda had cast so long ago, their soul was trapped in a wand, which related to them and their powers. As a result, they were trapped halfway between life and halfway between death until their wand was unearthed and brought to life.

They can be of almost any species, though they will appear human-like in quality. For the most part. They will have powers and they will appear with traits of their former selves, but if they were a unicorn, they will NEVER fully be a unicorn. They may be able to SHAPE SHIFT into one...but they will never -be- a unicorn.

Who's The Artist Doing The Stages?

I'm doing the Wand, Wisp and Baby Ghost Stages.

Nightmareater Will be doing the other stages. (Click name for DA)

Okay, So what do I have to do?

To enter the Role Playing Contest, You have to do at least TWO things. The first, is create a character concept using at least the minimum needed on the form. It is encouraged that you include more information, and the more you make me want to bring YOUR concept to life, the more I'll want to have you win.

The second thing you have to do, is write in response to the given prompt.

Who Is Ianna

Ianna is the one who found Matilda's wand and brought her back into this world. Even though Matilda is older than her, Ianna seems to baby her and act like a mother would. Mostly because...well she was her mother. For all of a month or two. She's slightly frazzled though, because of the fact Matilda uses her to retrieve wands that she's felt 'awaken'. Sometimes these trips take her to strange places. Like...Well, take moon for example. She had to travel to the Moon using a spell to unearth her. Needless to say, Ianna's rather grouchy and stressed most of the time and has a odd sense of humor. Often seen talking to herself, or what seems to be herself, Ianna is really speaking to Matilda. Unfortunately, she's the only one who can hear the little voice, so it makes her look even more a nutcase.

NOTE: IANNA IS NOT OLDDDDDD She's 23 u.u

Prompt And Needed Information

Concept Form

Quote:

Name:
Gender: Male
Species: Selkie
Abilities:
Information on their previous life (Include how they died)
Personality from baby to adult (you -can- go into sorceress/Ancient, but...There's not much known about the stage at the moment ^_~ Its really up to your creativity)
General physical description
Distinctive Marks
General likes and dislikes
Hobbies.

You may include more (infact, it's almost preferred!), but those are some of the things I -expect- in your concept. Please keep in mind two things: How the baby looks is up to the artist because it's not a custom. They -may- take from your phsyical description, but probably only one or two characteristics. And your character must also be magically inept some way, and have died a horrible death. Also, brownie points if you include a guardian character concept as well.

The Prompt

Your wand is a baby ghost and you're -just- getting used to the little wispy baby following you around and talking to you in your mind. General baby sounds, however, since it cant...literally TALK. You're also getting used to the fact you're a parent.

You realize you're getting attatched to the thing, when all the sudden a large light envelops the smoke and it begins to pulse. A few moments later, you're holding a real flesh and blood baby, looking up at you.

Describe before and after the change and how you feel about the child when it finally looks up at you, a real baby, clutching onto a miniture version of its wand.

Restrictions

Writing Entries should be no longer than 3 pages in 12 point Times New Roman font in Microsoft Word. (This does not include your concept form ^_~ That's as long as you need it to be)
Entries MUST be in by 6:00pm PST on December 7th

Kyrianna's Writing Tips:

I won't critique your contest entry to let you know what it needs and what I want from it, but I -can- give you hints on what I'm looking for.

Do not change tenses in your writing. Going from Present to Past and visa versa just annoys me.
Go into as much detail as you feel you need to. Don't let the minimum requirements bog you down. Just don't write a novel on it, please?
Try to be as true to Ianna's character description as possible, if you do in fact, use her in your prompt.
Make your wand's character concept UNIQUE.
