Previous RP experience: Lots. I’ve been RPing for about five years, though I’ve taken a break from fandom RP recently.
List of current muses (elsewhere): Annie Sawyer and Imogen Harper (a Misfits based OC) at sixwordstories plus a couple of celebs I’d rather not mention.
Character;
Fandom: Being Human
Name: Annie Sawyer
Canon, AR, AU? Canon
Residing in: She won't be residing anywhere at first, if that's okay? She doesn't sleep or anything so it's not like she'll need anywhere until she's a little more settled.
Occupation: N/A
Age: 22
Your overview of the character: Annie is quite an emotional person, though is also strong willed. Generally speaking she is very optimistic, though this optimism seems to be connected to the life she has with George and Mitchell her two housemates, the first people that could see her after her death. Even in the worse situations she chooses to believe everything will be okay as long as they have each other and if they stick together. The fact it’s incredibly difficult to kill her also has a lot to do with this belief. She loves both men very much (as friends) and likes nothing more than taking care of them (or anyone really). She is very much the domesticated, nurturing type and before her death all she really wanted was to have a happy life married to Owen and having children. For a long time even after her death she was still completely fixated on the life she had lost.
Before she met her housemates she was trapped in the house she had shared with her fiancé and was rather angry with the people who moved into what she considered to still be hers, thus she haunted a number of couples out, something she only feels a little guilty about. She has a definite temper if people mess with the people she cares about, and has little problem about fighting/standing up for them, something she puts down to being murdered. For a long time she thought she could be the person she had been in life, completely happy and bubbly, but she discovered this wasn‘t quite right both with the incident of haunting people out of her house and after she discovered how she‘d died- Owen had killed her, accusing her of having an affair and so she decided to haunt him as pay back, when that didn‘t work (he laughed at her and accused her of staying around to sulk and dragging about having killed her). She then attempted to warn Owen’s current girlfriend of what he had done to try and protect her, but the other woman was convinced by Owen that she was imagining the whole thing. Knowing there was nothing she could do herself she asked George and Mitchell to help her and she told Owen all about the things that go bump in the night and what happens when you die, something which drove him mad.
She has a definite dark side, but it is something she generally keeps as hidden as she can unless she really needs to make use of it. She is mostly very happy, ridiculously friendly and very talkative since she feels the need to make up for the time she lost when no one could see or hear her. She also tends to see the best in people, until she sees proof that they’re bad.
Character History: Annie is originally from Brighton, it is there while at college at the age of 16 that she met Owen and they started dating. Eventually he was offered a job in Bristol so he and Annie moved there, when she was 22. While in Bristol he asked Annie to marry him and she said yes, since he was the love of her life and it was all she’d ever really wanted. Soon after this though Annie died after falling down the stairs. Owen left the house soon after her death but Annie stuck around in the house as a ghost. It was then rented out but Annie managed to get rid of them all by haunting them. This went on for about a year until two young men George and Mitchell moved into the house and could see her, the first people that could since she’d died. As it turned out this was because the both of them were supernatural (Mitchell a vampire and George a werewolf). The three of them got on pretty well and over a short period of time Annie grew to accept the fact she was ghost and was able to be seen by normal people as well, until that was she had the chance to see Owen again, something she wasn‘t ready for and which made her vanish again. To try and help her Mitchell introduced her to another ghost who told her the reason she was stuck on Earth was because she had unfinished business. Annie thought this unfinished business was taking care of Owen only as she was following him around she discovered he was actually the one that killed her in a fit of jealous rage. After discovering this Annie decided to destroy everything that reminded her of her life with Owen and to start living again, to help look after George and Mitchell. This realisation made her solid again and she decided to go and haunt Owen, this didn’t turn out terribly well as Owen turned out to be a sociopath who saw her return purely as a ’sulk’ and proved that he wasn’t sorry for killing at all. Finding this and the fact he was having an affair, even during their engagement party Annie decided to take things further and involved George and Mitchell in her plan, telling him about all the wild things in the world that put his evilness to shame. She also shared a secret with him about what happens after death. This was enough to drive him crazy and so she won. This was her unfinished business and her ’door’ to the other side arrived. Unfortunately at this point a vampire from Mitchell’s past showed up and attempted to kill him so she decided to stay to make sure he was okay. Having essentially refused death Annie got some powers, while she could always teleport short distance she could do that over much larger distances and was now also telekinetic, powers which she used to fight against the gang of vampires that were trying to kill Mitchell and take over the world. At this point Mitchell told the head vampire Herrick that this had to end and that he was going to end it. Annie was devastated by this news, because she loved Mitchell and everything was suddenly falling apart, both her and George would have to move away from Bristol and start again. Fortunately George told Herrick to meet Mitchell in the wrong place and was there instead of him, during a full moon. George won the fight and Herrick was killed and the trio (along with George’s girlfriend) returned to house satisfied that everything was now going to be okay.
She will be coming in shortly after this. At the end of series one.

First person sample: I'm Annie and this is my journal, I don't really have much of a social life at the moment because I'm dead so I thought well if can't have a social life in the real world perhaps I'd have better luck here in cyberspace.
So I should introduce myself properly shouldn't I? Like I said I'm Annie, I'm 22 or at least I was when I died and I live in Bristol. I moved here with my fiance (I can't work out how to put accents over these things, but you know what I mean, right?) but that didn't work very well to say the least. Now I share a house with a couple of other people, who I supposed I'd call my friends, although they didn't start out that way- Mitchell and George, who are both very, very lovely and I don't know what I'd do without them.
So yeah there's more to say of course but Shameless is on and I'd quite like to watch it. I'll be back though, probably, assuming something interesting happens in my life, which you never know, it might!
Third person sample: here
Character Questions;
How do you deal with problems in your personal life? Honestly? I tend to go to Mitchell and George and talk to them about them., we’re sort of a team that way. I’d like to think they think the same. I used to blow stuff up with my mind and turn invisible. I think this way’s better though ;).
Would you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert and why? It depends really. I think probably an introvert, sort of. I mean I’m friendly and I’ll talk to just about anyone, but well it’s taken me a long time to get to that point. I’m definitely more extroverted than I used to be.
What's your spirit animal? lol, oh that’s funny! Because I’m a ghost. But um yeah, no spirit animal, or maybe a wolf. If we’re counting George.
What would you give to know your entire future? Nothing. Seriously. I can imagine. I try not to think about it actually. Better to ‘live’ in the present if you ask me.
How important is money to you? Well seeing as I’m dead I don’t really need to buy anything. So yeah not very. Though it would be nice to be able to buy George and Mitchell birthday and Christmas presents rather than making them.
Boxers or briefs? What sort of question’s that? I don’t know, boxers?
What's the most important thing to you in your life, and why? The house, no wait George and Mitchell. Yeah, the boys. They’re the most important things in my life because if I’d never met them I wouldn’t be here. I’d still be a ghost, invisible, watching but never being able to actually do anything. So yes, them. Definitely them.
How many people follow your Twitter? Twitter? I’m dead. I don’t think dead people are allowed Twitters, are they? Anyway what would I say? ‘Made tea for Mitchell,’ ‘Made tea for George,’ ‘Made more tea just because I was bored.’ Yeah I don’t think that would get many followers, do you?
You go to a bar, what do you order and why? I hate to be repetitive but dead, remember? Which means I can’t drink. If I could though, or if I had to get something just for appearances I think I’d probably go for a hot chocolate. One of those ones with lots of whipped cream and tiny little marshmallows on the top and maybe some sort of flavouring, like caramel. I really wish you hadn’t just asked that question. I really want a hot chocolate now.
What qualities do you look for in a friend? Hmmm, now there’s a question. I don’t know really. But before I was solid the ability to see me was pretty high up. Now though I’m not sure, someone that’s open minded would be good, and someone that doesn’t mind my rambling, occasional over-excitedness (is that a word?) and tendency to fuss and worry about people.
What is your biggest fear? My door coming back, or maybe worse still it not doing.
If you have a favourite article of clothing, what is it and why? I had this bright green silk dress. Strappy, sort of low cut, but still classy. It had all this beadwork around the neckline in a slightly different colour to the fabric itself. It was beautiful that dress. It made me feel beautiful and glamorous and important. I brought it for mine and Owen’s engagement party, but that’s not why it was my favourite. I’m not sure why it is, really. Maybe just because I never really got to dress up and I certainly don’t get to now. It’s still in the back of the wardrobe of my bedroom. Sometimes I think I should probably give it to charity or something. I just can’t.
What was the best moment of your life so far (in detail)? When I realised someone could see me after a year of being invisible. I thought I as imagining it at first, wishful thinking and all that. He wasn't sure he'd seen me either, so it wasn't like he was looking right at me. It was more like a fleeting glance. But it was enough to both get my hopes up and terrify me at the same time. I wasn't sure how I'd be with people after so long and I certainly wasn't sure how I felt about this guy that could see me living in my house. But after people looking right through me, not hearing me even when I was screaming in their ears it was amazing, like another chance or something.
What was the worst moment of your life so far (in detail)? My death should be this one really, shouldn’t it? Only it isn’t. I see my death as a positive thing now. The worse moment of my ‘life’ was when Mitch got staked. I was just about to go, y’know? My door came and everything was sorted and I was about to go, about to move on. Though really God knows why I thought that was a good idea. I remember the last time. I know what was on the other side. So yeah, I was about to go. We’d said our goodbyes, we’d cried and then bloody Mitchell had to go and open the front door like a big idiot. Like we hadn’t just pissed off a shit load of vampires. I felt my heart stop in that moment, when I saw the blood. Yeah, yeah I know I’m dead, but I still felt it, okay? I knew there was no way I was going. You don’t just leave your best friend, your best friends like that. I thought maybe the door would wait, I mean you’d think, wouldn’t you? But it didn’t. So I’m stuck here, all dead, or undead, or whatever you want to call it. I can’t really regret my choice though. Not given the options.
What's the first thing you'll do upon arriving in Cardiff? Freak out a bit? Look for George and Mitchell? Try and work out how the hell I’m in Cardiff? I don’t know, hope I meet someone nice I suppose.
