Welcome all to my new thread! I'm unsure how to structure this first post, since I'm used to having a plot or extensive framework to build off to create an intro, but since this thread is so open (as the name suggests, as it's a play on 'Anything Goes', geddit?), I'm just gonna give it a go and hope what comes next speaks for it better! (You can check out this post to see my original idea outline and the following convo if you want any more details that I miss in this!)

You are a ghost, or if you don't want that, then maybe you're somebody with a life very closely linked to ghosts, like an exorcist or psychic, and, well, that's all I have a say over! Here, you can be whoever you like, have whatever powers you want (as long as they aren't OP!), and have whatever backstory, appearance, themes, genre and personality as you like! You are free to tell whatever stories you want in a world that you all collectively design! Want there to be sci-fi elements? Boom, you can play that. Slice of Life? Absolutely! Shonen-style combat? Epic, go right ahead! The rules are simple, and you've probably read these on every thread ever, but roleplay in good faith, don't make OP characters, keep things PG-13, and most importantly, be kind!

There's much more I could say but I think I'll work with this for now, maybe I'll come back and change it, maybe I won't!

I'll end off with saying that as a ghost, you're the pinnacle of freedom. Imagine. Create. Run wild and please, enjoy. 

*Welp, time to spend the next few hours coming up with a character*

[You gotta lot of options and there isn't a cap on how many characters you can play, and heck, you can totally pick one up and drop them later if you just ain't feeling them, so feel free to have an experiment with ideas and if you ain't sure, you can always switch them out!]

A man wanders down a city street, a cigarette in his mouth. He wears dark trench coat, black vest and white dress suit, with a black tie of course and black dress pants. It’s easy to tell that he’s an exorcist, definitely not a freelance judging from his gloves. One black with a white cross and the other white with a black laughing skull, surrounded by Latin script, the symbols of the Ghosts in Heaven exorcist organization 

*And now I need to pick one of my Spectres...*

The remnants of a dragon lurk in the shadows, pieces of metallic hide linked together by magnetic force. It talks in a slow, creaking voice. "No, my flexible friend, this one will not make a good meal. Too much fight, not enough soul. We will wait for another. After all, we have all the time in the world."

*this one's a hollow dragon and its skeleton octopus companion, protecting a powerful artifact that can bring the dead back to life*

*the skeleton octopus is funny because octopuses don't have skeletons, so it's just a floating beak*

 The man looks over, somehow noticing the creatures “Normally I’m not one to pick fights, especially if I’m off duty, but did you just say I don’t have enough soul?”

A surprised "Squerble!" is heard from somewhere behind the dragon. It chuckles dryly. "It's often the case with your kind. Killing other sentients extracts a heavy toll. We require a purer heart in order to sustain ourselves. I would strongly recommend you leave us to seek one."

*Yo Shiver, would Alucard abilities be considered not op? If not I’ll think of something else later.*

 *I’ve already called dibs on the guns.*

*Hmm... A psychic impression is still a ghost, so Hadal might fit here.*

*Cursebutcher probably would as well.*

 *Not in a literal sense, but I’ve already made the character that uses the weapons, or at least similar ones. He actually came from a Bungo Stray Dogs oc surprisingly*

A zombie in religious garb and carrying a bell jar with a single black rose in it is stumbling around, carrying a semi-transparent box under it’s arm

a mist rolls in, blanketing the streets. you hear the rush of water. you aren't near an ocean. you feel wet, despite being bone dry. the mist is higher now, almost to your shoulders. then you hear the creak of wood, the furling of sails. a ghostly pirate ship is sailing dow the street on an ocean of fog, a haunting sea shanty lofts on the air.

it stops in front of the dragon, a ghostly captain speaks; "we hear ye've got a, certain item that raises the dead. hand it over or say goodbye to your unlife!"

*I want to make a crazy creepy dude for this. Where is it set?*

[Wherever you like lmao!]
