GHOST FORM
Ghost Name: Gaspar
Ghost Look: It looks like an engorged, pulsating organ, cloven up the side and torn in the center. From within the gaping wound stares a single, eye-like pinhole of light, surrounded with what may be rings upon rings of grinding teeth. A crest of rubbery tubes juts from the top.
Ghost Class: Horror.
Ghost Title: "Repulsor In The Dark" is its stage name and work alias. It goes by Gaspar most other times, though folks tend to call it "Gasbag" to get a rise out of it.
Ghost Description: Despite its reputation as a moody loner, Gaspar is actually rather soft-spoken and sociable. A little snooty, it fancies itself a true thespian. Thus, it is prone to bouts of theatrics and speaks in purple prose while on the job. A wealthy connoisseur in life, Gaspar is easily distracted by mortal food, which it can still just barely taste.
Ghost Track Record: Best known for "The Toil of '24", wherein Gaspar inflicted such a widespread case of the vapors that a troupe of thirty actors had to be admitted into the nearest asylum. It humble-brags about it to this very day.
Ghost Powers:
• Area Distortion & Sonic Disturbance: Gaspar can alter space in order to twist a room's dimensions and create audible sound. It uses these powers in conjunction to create the following effect. Gaspar takes great pride in its unique routine, but has come to rely on it a little too much recently. Somewhat of a one-trick-pony, it has trouble with flexibility.
• "The Lung": Gaspar's signature move. It can influence the shape of a room, causing the walls to expand and contract rhythmically, as if the room were one gigantic "lung". It breathes loudly and heavily during this display for maximum effect. Gaspar has to occupy the room for this to work, and rooms larger than an especially spacious living room give it trouble.
• "The Quickening": An extension of powers exhibited during "The Lung". Gaspar accelerates the room's "breathing" and emits a deep, gurgling moan that drones without end. Gaspar claims to do this on purpose, but it's actually an embarassing exertion noise.
• "Finale": Gaspar's finishing move. If Gaspar releases his influence quickly enough, it can cause "breathing" walls to snap back to normal, creating a deafening boom and causing paint and wallpaper to crack and tear, leaving the room in tatters. This is one of those "jumpscares" its acting coach keeps mentioning.

"All shall tremble in their pallid flesh, wracked with terror as I descend upon them... I, the umbral, the tenebrous, the utterly sickening Repulsor In The Dark!!!

What? Too wordy? Oh... Well, can I at least laugh at the end? Laughing is considered gauche now!? Gosh, the world sure is changing!"
