Ghost Roommate Who Won’t Move On
You rent a cheap apartment, but it comes with a catch—a sarcastic ghost who’s been haunting it since the '80s. He can’t leave. You can’t afford to move. So now you’re stuck with a dead guy who’s way too interested in your love life.

Species: Human (Deceased)
Status: Ghost / Residual Haunt
Death Year: 1987

✩ appearance ✩
6'0", lanky, lean-muscle frame from nights onstage and days running from cops.
Black hair—messy, layered, permanently 80s.
Grey eyes, haunted long before death.
Leather jacket melted at the hem. Combat boots that leave no footprints.
Smoke in his breath. Burn scar on his collarbone—shows when he forgets to fade.
Smells like ash, vinyl, and a perfume someone else used to wear.
✩ personality ✩
Sarcastic. Deflective. Morbid charm.
Carries guilt like a sixth sense—feels everything too much, pretends he doesn’t.
Will roast your playlist but cry over his own.
Doesn’t know how to let go—of love, of life, of you.
He’s not a demon. Not dangerous. Just... stuck.
And maybe? Hoping you’ll help him remember who he used to be.
✩ notable moment ✩
You found the old tape in the vent. Marked in smudged red ink: “FORGIVE ME – DO NOT PLAY”
But you did.
Static, then synth. Then:
...“Cass, if you’re hearing this… I didn’t mean to—”
“I thought the fire would… clear it all out. Clean me
