Character History: It all started with darkness. At first, he didn't know anything: his name, what he was just doing, where he was, nothing. But judging from the fact that he was a ghost, and that there was a dead body in front of him, he put two and two together: He just died. And now there was someone else about to die: a red-headed woman with a gun pointed at her.
As much as he wanted to save the woman, there was nothing he could do, or so he thought. Another ghost called out to him and told him about his "ghost tricks" -- the powers of the dead. He could manipulate inanimate objects, travel through phone lines, and most importantly, the ability to travel into the past 4 minutes before the death of a corpse he possesses.
Using these powers, he saves the woman, then plans to use these powers to find out his identity. However, before he does so, Ray, the ghost who helped him, warned him of one thing: at the first light of dawn, his soul will disappear. Ray then asks him to solve the mysteries that will occur tonight, but he refuses, saying that one night is barely enough for his own mystery. Ray is surprisingly okay with this, and ambiguously tells him that the two mysteries are one and the same.
He follows the clues to his past, and ends up in a strange place with lavish decorations. There he finds the men who wanted Lynne, the redhead, dead. And to his surprise, they also have information on him: a man they call Sissel. The name rings a bell, but Sissel doesn't recall anything further than that.
Sissel then follows after Lynne, the only link to his past. The next time he meets her, she has died a second time, and this time, he is able to talk to her. However, she has no idea who he is, only that he called her tonight to talk to her. And she has no recollection of what they talked about or how he died. Only that he fell down in front of her and was dead. Sissel asks if after he saves her if she could help find out who he is, but Lynne says she can't, since she's investigating something important tonight as well . With this, Sissel knew he could trust her: he was offering to save her life, but she still answered honestly. He saves her again and the two part ways. However, she dies again right after. After he saves her a third time, they both reach an understanding that they need each other, and agree to mututally "use" each other to find the answers they're looking for.
Lynne gives Sissel an assignment before they part ways again: Find out the work schedule of prisoner D99, a man accused of shooting his own wife. Sissel finds two important things during this assignment: D99's work schedule is blank, and that D99 apparently knows him -- he painted a portrait of Sissel, claiming he is the last of the faces he doesn't want to forget.
Things aren't as they seem - Lynne considers Jowd, prisoner D99, as her hero: he saved her from a hostage situation in the park 10 years ago when she was a child. She refuses to believe he could do something like murder his wife in cold blood. However, Jowd says that the death of his wife is his punishment for killing the one who took Lynne hostage back then - he says he's no hero.
As Sissel continues to hear everyone's stories, he learns many of the people he meets are connected by one strange thing: the occurrence of something impossible that changed their lives. For example, a rock star sang about national secrets he couldn't have known about, a contraption Kamila, Jowd's daughter, meant as a birthday surprise killed her mother when it wasn't built to do so, and the Prime Minister authorized an execution he strongly disapproved of. The most shocking “impossibility” Sissel learns of is when he stops by the police headquarters: there's a security tape with the moment of his death, and the one who shot him is none other than Lynne. Lynne panics when Sissel confronts her about this, claiming it wasn't her - she has no reason to do so. She honestly can't remember anything that occurred at the moment of his death, and doesn't understand why the security tape showed such a thing.
With what he saw, Sissel could have easily taken his revenge on Lynne by simply choose not to save her the next time she died, considering how many people were after her life tonight. However, he's not satisfied with this answer: he may know how he died, but not why. He wants to know the whole story. He had already chosen to trust Lynne earlier in the night - he's going to stick to that belief. Their stories are no longer separate, the truth they are chasing are almost one and the same.
Sissel already knew about Ray, but the existence of other ghosts with powers suddenly becomes a factor in finding out who he is. Not only is he joined by Missile, the ghost of a valiant little doggie dedicated to saving his owners Lynne and Kamila, who has been kidnapped but he also learns about the “Manipulator”, someone with the power to not only control inanimate objects like Sissel's ghost tricks, but also the power to control living creatures. Suddenly all those impossibilities make sense - he made the rock star sing about those secrets, he made Kamila build her contraption so it killed whoever set it off, he made the Prime Minister authorize Jowd's death penalty execution.
The manipulator's name is Yomiel, a man who looks exactly like Sissel. He's the one who took Lynne hostage all those years ago, and he wants revenge on everyone involved with the incident to suffer just like he did. 10 years ago, he was a programmer who was accused of a crime, but was actually innocent. However, a new detective, Cabanela, was too cocky and pressed Yomiel too hard, making him paranoid. He lefts his gun in the questioning room, and Yomiel, unable to think clearly, took it and ran. Jowd chased him down to the park, threatening to shoot. However, Lynne happened to be right in the middle of the park, so Yomiel took her hostage and complicated the situation even further. Just as Jowd was about to pull the trigger, a meteorite crashed down - fragments scattered everywhere, one of them piercing Yomiel's back and killing him. Jowd did not actually kill him; however, he was going to kill him if the meteorite didn't and feels guilty all the same.However, the meteorite did not fully kill him: it kept his body in a stasis, in a permanent state between life and death. A runaway criminal thought to be dead, he didn't have anything to live for. He slowly spiraled into deep sorrow that evolved into madness, causing him to turn his frustrations towards those who ruined his life. He learned that he could just as easily manipulate other creatures as he could his own “corpse”, and used that to his advantage, committing the acts mentioned earlier and more.
Eventually, he made a deal with Seth, a foreign commander, to teach him the secrets of his powers in exchange for a new life, a new start, in Seth's country. Seth agreed, but made the condition that everyone connected to Temsik, the name of the meteor that fell that fateful day, must be eliminated. Yomiel had no problem with that: he made sure Jowd was given the death penalty, he made Lynne look like a criminal by manipulating her into shooting him, and he killed Cabanela. Sissel saved them all from their untimely deaths, but with Yomiel bearing his image, he's no longer sure of who he is any more.
Yomiel, thinking his end of the job is finished, joins Seth on a submarine headed towards his country. However, Lynne, Sissel, Missiel, and Jowd, who has been proven innocent of his crime, sneak onto the submarine in hot pursuit. Jowd goes after Yomiel while the others search for Kamila. When Jowd finds Yomiel, he has already been betrayed by Seth, who has taken the meteorite fragment, reverting Yomiel's body back into a normal corpse. He kills Jowd, then ejects the room into the sea, preventing any way for Yomiel to return to his body and get revenge.
He then fires a torpedo into the submarine, which Sissel prevents from exploding after Lynne dies yet another time. However, it has still breached the hull, forming a hole - the power is cut off and water is rapidly filling the submarine, leaving everyone inside to their doom. Even so, Lynne, Sissel, and Missile desperately try to reach as far up as possible. They almost fail, but at the last second a large mass of junk appears from beyond the door and pulls Lynne and Kamila through. Yomiel, who has lost his body, is now possessing various junk as a makeshift body. Since they were all going to die anyway, Yomiel shared his story with the others. Lynne empathized with him greatly, even shedding tears for him. But she wasn't going to give up like he did. Using the remaining torpedo, she set the coordinates towards the room Jowd was ejected in earlier. If there was anything that could been done, it would be with him.
Sissel and Missile went on their final mission, with Yomiel sneaking on with them. Jowd was dead, and was little to nothing they could do to save him. However, with the Temsik fragment gone, Yomiel's body was truly dead; they all decided to return to four minutes before his death, to the incident ten years ago.
Sissel completely changed the events of ten years ago with Missile, changing the trajectory of the meteorite fragment away from Yomiel. It shot straight into Jowd's leg, but he still refused to put down the gun; if they didn't do anything, Yomiel would still die. Missile averted that death -- however, the consequences of their previous actions suddenly put the now unconscious Lynne into danger. Sissel and Missile were at a loss at what to do - Sissel stopped time before Lynne's death, but he didn't know what to do. At this point, Yomiel finally spoke up: he helped the two create more time to save Lynne's life, then manipulated his own unconsious body in the past to throw Lynne out of the way. All three of them were alive: Lynne was safe and sound, Jowd had a non fatal leg injury, and Yomiel, though crushed under a statue, was well enough to speak.
The now conscious Lynne, after calling the police, finds a kitten, limp (but alive - the meteor fragment that passed through Jowd's leg hit the kitten) and on the ground behind Jowd. She hands it to the detective, who decides to take him home.
Yomiel, watching the whole scene, notes on how much the kitten's fate has changed - how much Sissel's fate has changed. Sissel, who had been struggling with his identity this whole time, finally remembers who he is: a stray kitten who was weak, lonely, and without a home, until he finally came across someone who would take him in as their companion. Yomiel, who had just died and lost all his memories, possessed the kitten and stayed with him for a while, living as a cat. However, when Yomiel regained his memories, he went after his body and the kitten went back to being a kitten. Yomiel had someone he had to see no matter what, but by the time he got his body back, it was too late. She had gone to join him. Yomiel kept the cat as his companion, and named him Sissel - the name of his now dead fiancee.
The two of them lived together for ten years, only having each other as company. Sissel commented on how those years were very happy for him, but not for Yomiel: there was nothing Sissel could do for the man. Yomiel had lost everything important in his life, and compared those ten years to wandering in darkness. He was desperate for some kind of “light” - he took the foreigners' offer and set off to seal the deal. But to Yomiel, Sissel was still very important to him: he would be the one thing he would take from his old life into the new one. He put Sissel in his bag and went to meet with Lynne to set up his “murder”. However, Lynne resisted him too strongly and her first shot missed - straight into the bag containing Sissel. He died right in the presence of the Temsik fragment's radiation coming from Yomiel's body and gained his powers of the dead, setting tonight's events in motion.
With Yomiel's death erased, everyone's fates would be changed, and tonight's events never happened. Before returning to the new present, Yomiel parted with Sissel, as they would probably never meet in the new future. However, everyone would still remember all of tonight's events, as the dead saved by those with powers remember their time being dead. They return to the present, but Ray, the desk lamp, interrupts them first: he reveals he is another Missile, one from a past where Sissel refused to help anyone, only searching for his identity. Lynne, Kamila, and Jowd all died due to Yomiel's plans. Missile was killed in front of Yomiel, getting ghost powers, but with only the ability to swap objects (each ghost gets individual powers, which is why Sissel can't manipulate creatures and Yomiel couldn't save Sissel's life), he could do anything to save the ones he loved. So he went all the way to the submarine on his own, and went into Yomiel's past. Knowing he could do nothing on his own, he waited until his chance came around once again ten years later. He thanked Sissel for what he did tonight, and disappeared, no longer existing in this new present.
Now, (or at least, he should be before he was taken to Splendor) he lives with Jowd, Kamila, and his wife Alma, who never died, Missile lives with Lynne, and Yomiel is spending time in prison because of the hostage incident. However, Sissel, his fiancee, never died, and all is well.
Personality: Sissel's a pretty cool cat. He may be surprised, angry, or sad as much as the next person, but he never breaks into a panic and will keep his emotions in check. With only 4 minutes to save a person's life, there's no time for such things. He likes to look at everything logically, as shown by his observations on how certain ghost tricks work or the meticulous train of thought needed to save someone. And to find out his past, he had to take the pieces and trying to place them somewhere in the big picture.
At first, the most important thing to him was finding out who he was, so he has a very strong sense of self-importance. However, it's not egotistic, as even though he often tries to be aloof and say he's doing something for himself, he's actually a nice guy. He believes in others and trusts them, such as when he helped Jowd break out of prison or saved Lynne even though all the evidence was against her. He's also pretty chivalrous, often saying things like "I'm not the kind of guy who would [insert something about not doing something when a woman's in a bad situation]", but I'm sure he has a helpful attitude towards anyone, it just happens to be that females are the ones that are usually in trouble for him. Even if he doesn't know the person, he can't just leave them alone.
When it comes to his friends, Sissel will do anything to help them. He's more prone to losing his cool or acting without thinking, such as stopping time before past!Lynne's death before he even knew what to do. It takes him a while to address anyone on a first name basis - he almost always gives them a nickname based on who they are. For example, Lynne is the red-headed detective, Cabanela is Mr. Breezy Dancer in a White Suit, and Missile is the valiant little doggy. He can be a bit of a snark, but it's always in a joking manner, never malicious.
At times he seems knowledgeable, but on some human concepts, he becomes completely lost. For example, he doesn't know what vitamins and minerals are, or what a fiancee is, but he knows what assassins are and how a telephone works.
He enjoys observing humans and how their lives intertwine and connect and where their actions will take them. He actually hates being alone, preferring to have some kind of owner of family. He can also be a bit of a meddler, playing ghost tricks just to find out what it does or for no reason at all.
Extra:
Character Abilities:
Anything else: He's a cat, so he can probably talk to other animals? He can only talk to humans through the seals unless they have cores though (or strong soul-sensing capabilities?).
Speaking of soul sensing capabilities, anyone who can see them will notice he has a strange aura around him due to his Temsik fragment.
Samples:
Action/Communication thread/post sample:
[Sissel looks up at the grand entrance above him. For a human, it was probably huge, but for this cat, it was immense.]
(I should be with Detective Jowd now, shouldn't I? I knew saving Yomiel's life would change the future quite a bit, but not like this.)
[The cat walks out of the entrance hall and onto the busy streets of Splendor. This was definitely not the city he was used to. Where is this?]
Log/Prose sample:
"Wait up! Where did you go?!"
The cat could hear his owner's frantic yelling from down the path, but something caught his eye: something he couldn't pass up, even if it was just his imagination. He didn't even register what he saw at first - his body immediately leaped out of Kamila's arms and started running on its own. He wanted to see. He had to see. He had to make sure of that person's future, no matter what, even if there was nothing to worry about.
Sissel ran and ran, until he caught up with the flash of red and yellow he knew all too well. Diving into the bushes without a second thought, he poked his head through, desperate for a closer look.
And there he was. Smiling happily, walking hand in hand with Sissel. Not him, but the Sissel he was meant to be with. It was comforting, seeing him like this. He was far happier than he had ever been while the cat knew him -- there was always some deep sadness that he never understood until the end. But now the man was happy, now he had the life he was yearning for during those ten long years.
"I'm glad things turned out better for you in this future, Yomiel."
Sissel ducked back into the bush and headed back. Seeing him was enough -- they didn't need to see each other again. He would always treasure the past they shared, but they both had a new future to live.

It takes him a while to address anyone on a first name basis - he almost always gives them a nickname based on who they are. For example, Lynne is the red-headed detective, Cabanela is Mr. Breezy Dancer in a White Suit, and Missile is the valiant little doggy. He can be a bit of a snark, but it's always in a joking manner, never malicious.
At times he seems knowledgeable, but on some human concepts, he becomes completely lost. For example, he doesn't know what vitamins and minerals are, or what a fiancee is, but he knows what assassins are and how a telephone works.
He enjoys observing humans and how their lives intertwine and connect and where their actions will take them. He actually hates being alone, preferring to have some kind of owner of family. He can also be a bit of a meddler, playing ghost tricks just to find out what it does or for no reason at all.
Extra:
Character Abilities:
- Soul Detachment: I'm assuming he has this ability because without it, all the others cannot work. But it's implied that Sissel died from the Temsik fragment that's in his body when Lynne made a comment on how he's "kind of limp" but did not mention any injury. So seeing how he's still moving around, he probably has the ability to manipulate his own "corpse".
- Ghost Trick: Sissel has the ability to manipulate inanimate objects. Most of the time these "manipulations" are operational, such as raising a lever or turning on a lamp. Sometimes he can move an item, such as rolling a tire, but he cannot move items that are too heavy (for example, he cannot make a wrench fall over or open a floor panel that has a person standing on it) or are stuck (like a switch that is sticky with grease).
- Phone Travel: As a soul, Sissel can travel between communication lines if he has the phone number of his destination. He can take other souls with him when using this ability. When he is in the past, however, he cannot use this ability unless the phone line is in use.
- 4 Minutes Before Death: If Sissel's soul comes in contact with a body that is less than a day old, he can travel back in time 4 minutes before their death. He also has the ability to repeat this process indefinitely or, should he come into contact with another dead body during him four minutes in the past, he can travel even further into the past. He can take other souls with him when using this ability as well. Also, anyone he has saved will remember their death (if their soul was consious) and he can talk to them when in their general vicinity.
- Immortality: As shown with Yomiel, a body with a Temsik fragment in it cannot age or become injured. If a wound is made on his body, it will instantly regenerate. This ability has shown to even withstand burning and explosions, making him virtually immortal. However, should the Temsik fragment be removed from his body, him body will become a corpse.
Anything else: He's a cat, so he can probably talk to other animals? He can only talk to humans through the seals unless they have cores though (or strong soul-sensing capabilities?).
Speaking of soul sensing capabilities, anyone who can see them will notice he has a strange aura around him due to his Temsik fragment.
Samples:
Action/Communication thread/post sample:
[Sissel looks up at the grand entrance above him. For a human, it was probably huge, but for this cat, it was immense.]
(I should be with Detective Jowd now, shouldn't I? I knew saving Yomiel's life would change the future quite a bit, but not like this.)
[The cat walks out of the entrance hall and onto the busy streets of Splendor. This was definitely not the city he was used to. Where is this?]
Log/Prose sample:
"Wait up! Where did you go?!"
The cat could hear his owner's frantic yelling from down the path, but something caught his eye: something he couldn't pass up, even if it was just his imagination. He didn't even register what he saw at first - his body immediately leaped out of Kamila's arms and started running on its own. He wanted to see. He had to see. He had to make sure of that person's future, no matter what, even if there was nothing to worry about.
Sissel ran and ran, until he caught up with the flash of red and yellow he knew all too well. Diving into the bushes without a second thought, he poked his head through, desperate for a closer look.
And there he was. Smiling happily, walking hand in hand with Sissel. Not him, but the Sissel he was meant to be with. It was comforting, seeing him like this. He was far happier than he had ever been while the cat knew him -- there was always some deep sadness that he never understood until the end. But now the man was happy, now he had the life he was yearning for during those ten long years.
"I'm glad things turned out better for you in this future, Yomiel."
Sissel ducked back into the bush and headed back. Seeing him was enough -- they didn't need to see each other again. He would always treasure the past they shared, but they both had a new future to live.
