[IC Information]
Character Name: Missile
Series: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Gender: Male
Age: 2
Species: Pomeranian dog ghost
Appearance: To be perfectly technical, Missile doesn’t really look like anything, because he is dead and just a ghost. However, if he were to speak with someone through the Ghost World, he would appear in their mind as your standard Pomeranian dog. Someone with the ability to see ghosts or a similar sixth sense might be able to perceive his soul as a green wisp of ethereal flame.
Personality: First and foremost, Missile is just plain friendly. He loves people. He loves everyone! Whenever he meets someone new, all he wants is to welcome them into his life and get to be their very best doggy friend. He could never dream of hurting someone, ever, all he wants is to just make everyone happy and welcome.
And as any good dog should be, Missile is just as loyal as they come. He will go to any lengths possible to assure that his master will be safe, working as hard as possible to take care of them, because that’s what dogs do.
Of course, being a little dog, he’s not exactly the brightest, but that won’t ever worry him. He doesn’t really worry about what he doesn’t understand, only what’s happening and how he can be of use.
History: Missile is owned by a young police detective by the name of Lynne, and lives happily in her apartment. With Lynne lives a young girl by the name of Kamila, who has been living with her for as long as Missile can remember. While Missile does care ever so deeply for Miss Lynne, he has taken it upon himself to care in particular for the smaller and less capable Miss Kamila, because that’s what dogs do. He does this by barking at loud noises to welcome them into his house.
However, one night, a Bad Man broke into Lynne’s apartment, shot Missile, tied up Kamila, and sat in wait for Lynne to return. Missile’s spirit had no choice but to sit, useless in the Ghost World, without memory of who he was. That is, until he was visited by another spirit-the ghost of a man calling himself Sissel. The instant Sissel told him they needed to protect Kamila, all of the details of Missile’s simple life came rushing back; he knew not only who he was, but that he desperately needed to save his mistress from danger!
Sissel himself had forgotten his entire life as well, and now apparently was attempting to protect Lynne in order to try and remember who he was when he was alive. Sissel had the ability to travel back in time, four minutes before Missile’s death, and manipulate objects in small ways: rolling a cart, popping open a door, turning a light on. These little tricks were enough to change the past and save Missile’s life-but what the little dog really cared about was hiding Miss Kamila from the Bad Man. With Sissel’s Ghost Tricks, both Missile and Miss Kamila were spared.
After returning to the new present, Missile vowed to try and protect Miss Kamila further, parting ways with Sissel to try and find a way out of the apartment and follow Miss Kamila outside. After a lot of running into the door, he managed to get to the door knob and let himself outside. He tracked down Miss Kamila, but only moments before he was struck by a man on a motorized scooter… and died a second time, unable to stop as an unfortunate accident took Kamila’s life.
However, this time, things were a tad different. Missile found he had an ability much like Sissel’s, able to travel back in time and prevent deaths, but unable to move around small objects. Instead, Missile was able to switch objects that were of the same approximate shape. Using this, he went to the past to prevent Kamila’s death… though unfortunately at the cost of another man’s.
Before long, though, Sissel appeared once again to save the unfortunate casualty, and learned of Missile’s new ability, the two of them working together to restore the man to life. Unfortunately, soon after Missile was separated from Sissel again, his spirit trapped inside a leaf that was carried away in the wind.
Eventually, while the leaf was being washed away through the sewers, Missile happened upon a strange scene-inside a building above him, a man who looked just like Sissel was attempting to kill two men. Sissel’s ghost was, unsurprisingly, present at the scene, but not inside the body of the man-in fact, Sissel’s ghost was just as baffled as Missile was, and trying to stop it from happening. Evidently, Sissel’s body was being used by another spirit of some sort, who knew of the use of ghost tricks-so, Sissel and Missile needed to find a way to save the lives of the men, without letting the assailant know what had happened.
Using Missile’s ability, they finally managed to throw Sissel’s mysterious doppelganger off, switching the bullet fired at one man with a knit hat. Unaware of the switch and thinking his target dead, the mysterious man left… and quite suddenly, the hat, and Missile’s soul with it, vanished from the room as well.
Supernatural Abilities: Missile’s Ghost Tricks are his most powerful ability: first, the ability to travel four minutes before the death of a recently-passed spirit, should he possess their body. In that time before their death, he can try as many times to manipulate the events that occur, changing things through the use of his second Ghost Trick: the ability to swap the place of objects, so long as they have approximately the same shape, regardless of size. For example, a bullet could be switched with a hat, or a wrecking ball could be replaced with a baseball. The objects, however, need to be within about ten feet of one another, but this ability can regardless come in quite handy.
Supernatural Weaknesses: Unfortunately, in exchange for this ability, Missile is more or less incapable of anything else, because, well, he’s nothing more than a spirit, now. He can only move by jumping between particular objects, and can only speak with people if they’ve died in the past. Luckily, the useful Eggplant phones will allow Missile to speak with people normally over the lines, though he cannot read or write.
Natural Abilities: Missile can’t do much naturally, considering that he’s no longer part of the natural world himself. In life, though… he was very good at barking!
Possessions: Missile was possessing a woolen hat at the time of his being pulled into the city.
