In the heart of Massachusetts was Lively Grove, a small town no more than five or six hundred people. Lively Grove was in the business of the dead since its very beginning. From graveyards and crypts, to headstone carvers and casket crafters, to mortuaries and funeral homes. Lively Grove specialized in it all. It seemed friendly town, despite their grim business, but unfortunately it was a lonely and isolated abode. The town hid unexplained and possibly paranormal occurrences, festering feuds and grudges, and an air of lingering gloom.
The town was eerie from top to bottom, in and out. In Lively Grove, every note seems to ring off key, all light seems to be just a tad too dim, twilight seems to linger for far too long, and the trees all seem to loom inward like vultures looming above their pray. And of the trees, there were far too many of them. The town wasn't especially great for growing many plants; in fact, it was quite the contrary, which might explain the appearance of the trees somewhat. All of them seemed dead, or close to it, and the branches and roots extended in haphazard and gnarled designs.
Despite the creepy quandary of Lively Grove, the town was able to sustain itself somehow for sixty some odd years. They lived peacefully and amenably with their neighboring towns, happy to have their business. However, all was not well, and something foul had befell Lively Grove.

Genre: Mystery, Paranormal
Timeline: Pre-modern? Think late 19th century, right before the dawn of electricity
Power Level: Low to Medium (nothing too strong, but defenseless wouldn't be a good idea either in this town)
I might deny your character on no other grounds other than I think they wouldn't do well in this RP. I realize it's a tricky timeline and probably a tricky situation, but I'm picky. :\
Because of the ADD approach most people have with these new RPs, picking them up one moment and putting them down just afterward...um. Because of that I cut this RP short. If all goes well with this, I'll develop it into a series of multiple episodic RPs.
