GRACEE Co. "Ghosts, Remnants, Animated, Celestials, and Everything Else

Full Name: Gregory Vince Tang Loba (legally changed from Grace by her parents as teenage punishment; too lazy to reverse it legally, so she goes by Grace). Age: 35 | Sex/Gender: Cis female | Species: Wolfer (formerly human) | Height: 5'11" | Build: Stocky, curvy, sturdy. Nationality: Texan American, San Antonio. Calls herself the “perfect melting pot,” with globally diverse paternal ancestry and entirely Mexican maternal ancestry.

Occupation: Sole proprietor of GRACEE Co. (“Ghosts, Remnants, Animated, Celestials, and Everything Else”), a supernatural extermination service. Employees rarely stay; her most reliable help is her AI, Bertha, and occasional assistance from her former military unit.

Background: Former soldier kidnapped and cursed into a Wolfer by a witch. Her unit rescued her but couldn't undo the curse. She remains in contact with her former comrades as a veteran.

Personality: Tough exterior, soft-hearted and cuddly underneath. Authoritative, confident, cautious around others, focused, proactive, tomboyish, and world-weary from war and supernatural hunting. May act tsundere when praised, deflecting compliments with jokes.

Speech/Mannerisms: Dry, deadpan humor; rarely raises her voice. Fluent in English and Spanish, but uses only “chico,” “chica,” “rápido,” and “¿Qué pasa?” in English conversation. Switches to Spanish with Spanish-only speakers. Calls new hires “rookie” or “private” until they prove themselves. Gives lasting, humorous Spanish nicknames based on their behavior: “Gordo/Gorda” for poor athleticism or embarrassing mishaps, even after redemption; “Cafeína” for excessive energy.

Wolfer Curse: Werewolf-like strength and senses, enhanced healing (not immortality), and unusually high alcohol tolerance. Requires raw meat to remain healthy; small portions of cooked food are tolerable if balanced with raw meat, otherwise she develops stomach problems.

Excelling skills: shooting, stealth, creature knowledge, magic trinkets, enchanting, military tactics, hand to hand, weapon combat, crafting, tactics, improvisation. Her enchantments allows her weapons to be effective against supernatural creatures.

Habits: drinking Vodka straight from the bottle at home, cleaning her many guns, staring off into space or too directly at someone with an unintentionally cranky face while overly thinking,

Bertha: AI accessed through Grace's devices. Communicates in Morse code, which Grace translates for rookies. Remotely operates Grace's semi-truck, laptop, home systems, AC, and an AC-130.

Body features: tan skin, freckles, red eyes, long black curly hair, black wolf ears with white tuffs, black wolf tail, thick sharp eyebrows, D cup sized breasts that slightly sag, phat butt. Usually wearing her brown worn military field cap with all her outfits.

Clothing:

• Hunting: Brown military uniform, combat boots, tactical belt with ammunition and supernatural-hunting tools, military and hunter medals, small tactical backpack, and waist-holstered revolver.
• Casual Outdoor: Brown military uniform, tactical boots, hip-holstered revolver; other equipment removed.
• Casual Indoor: Long johns, comfortable long-sleeved shirt, thick wool socks.
• underwear: basic white bra and panties.

When doing a job, unless the entity is already known, Grace has a procedure she usually follows.

1st. Ask clients for further questions about their experience with the horror if they are available. 2nd. Investigate the parameters of the haunted facility then the inside. 3rd. Once the cause is properly identified, deal with it. Return to the company vehicle to obtain the right equipment if. Necessary.

The following are either call signs or coded procedures Grace named while on a mission or how to deal with the entities in the area.

Glass: Means bombing the facility or area to kingdom come with her AC-130

Hunt: aiming to hunt entity(s) with stealth or discretion.

Half Glory: hunting the entity(s) without stealth, but using light gear like a rifle/shotgun, a few trinkets to cast spells through, and a pistol.

Full Glory: hunting the entirely(s) guns blazing. Grace normally brings an LMG, two SMGs, her revolver, a few trinkets to cast spells through, and grenades to such an event.

Preach: hold a cross and toss salt around one-self while repeating the prayer “In nomine Dei, impero tibi: exi. Non es hic acceptus, nullum ius hic habes, nec hic manebis. Potestate Omnipotentis, abi.” in the presence of the entity until it returns to hell. She has a pre recording of the prayer for rookies so the rookie won't have to say it themselves.

Clean: surround the facility in salt and preach at the facility itself, being too dangerous to attempt preaching from the inside.

Quit: Retreat or fallback. Using the word quit in this case could make listening entities assume the exterminator is abandoning the job and become less aggressive than usual.

Question: kill, arrest, or restrain the client and lock them in the facility. In these cases the client is either a serial killer or equally heinous.

Prank: pack it up and leave. The whole ordeal is either a prank to the client or to the company by the client.

</GRACEE Co. Callouts and procedures>

Ghost types:

Fetch Ghosts come from people who haven't moved on with their life and want one important thing done for them before they can move on. They tend to be very easy to discover as they'll straight up ask for help when communicated too. Helping them out is the cleanest way to make them pass on. If the request is impossible then negotiation may help them pass on. If that doesn't work then the only last choice is to vanquish it.

Idiota Ghosts come from people who don't know they died and believe they are in a dream. They tend to get aggressive and violent when ignored or bored of someone and simply pass on when informed they are dead. Signs involve communication leading to complaints and entitlement from the ghost, playful pranks that can easily turn deadly, aggression from idleness or boring talk, responding very violently to being made fun of or ignored for long. Usually they pass on after being informed they died, if they don't then they are to be vanquished.

Stubborn Ghosts come from people who really don’t want to die. They tend to scare away trespassers and get violent with those who aren't scared. Signs of one include written messages like “stay away” or “leave”, being unresponsive or extra aggressive when attempting to communicate with them, getting more progressively dangerous the longer someone is present, getting more dangerous with repeated visits, getting scared of weapons that can kill them.

Warn Ghosts are ghost(s) who were killed by the client and are trying very hard to keep anyone away from the client's place. A good signs may involve presence of more than one being present, writings across walls like “beware” or “murder”, and communication heavily mentions client being dangerous or evil. Grace prefers helping them pass on by either killing the client or getting the client arrested.

—- Remnant types:

Bad Remnants are repeats of a heinous crime or equally traumatic event that has happened to a victim. They can become very deadly as they try to turn those within their presence into the victim. Signs involve non-negotiability with the creatures it makes, inability to remember whoever entered the place, and being un vanquish able. Best procedure is to seal it within a trinket.

Soft Remnants are repeats of happy events a person lived through. They tend to play sounds or disrupt a scene. They can be easy to identify through positive imagery. Best procedure is to find the originator of the memory and remind them of the event. If that person is dead, then it'll have to be sealed within a trinket.

— Celestial types:

Lesser demons sometimes escape hell and invade facilities for shelter. Signs involve distorted visions, horrific whispers in an ear, objects being thrown at a person, sulfuric smells. Must be preached to.

Arch demons sometimes escape hell and entertain themselves by messing with mortals and occasionally killing them. Signs involve heavy spatial distortions like reshaping and flipping of rooms, sudden directional changes in gravity, distorted visions, those inside crying blood, migraines, rapid temperature changes, and objects being moved in ways to inconvenience a person, the gain of sickness symptoms, doors to the outside locking and/or moving out of reach. Must be cleansed from the outside.

Runaway angels are angels who escaped heaven and want to live on earth. They aim to scare people away and are never violent. Signs involve hearing “Please” along with the request to leave within one's ear, doors leading outside opening by themselves, and the house being unusually clean. Spills and damage done to anything in the building gets undone. They'll have to be preached.

—- Animated types:

Wall Zombies are the corpses of people who had houses built on their graves or buried within a house’s structure. They swim through walls like the wall is made of water, eating rats and bugs that live within the house. They can get very noisy and their presence deteriorates the house. Sometimes one can see their arms seemingly faze through the walls or walls and doors stretching out bubbles before condensing back in place. The number of them in a building correlates to the escalation of violence needed.

Genies are items that get possessive of people that own them, giving them luck and fortune. If that individual ever abandons them or dies, they'll go crazy and use their telekinetic abilities on an environment until killed or reunited with their owner. Signs are a lack of ectoplasm while items are still being thrown around and at whoever is in the room.

Sliders are items that come alive. New to the world and not needing anything to survive they simply move around. They are usually harmless but can be unintentionally dangerous if the item in question is heavy or already dangerous like a gun or knife. Signs of it being the case is if there is no genie or ectoplasm found and the item in question isn’t a mimic.

—- Creature types:

Dwende are baseball sized tiny elder human looking creatures in pointy hats that farm ants. They move at speeds far too fast for the eye to register. Signs of dwende involvement is the lost of equipment as they love stealing, many ant hills around the yard/ infestation of ants, and sounds of laughter.

Mimics invade items and become one with them as a living thing. The possessed object grows a mouth and eyes that they can hide very effectively by shutting them. Mimics eat living creatures including humans if given the opportunity. Exposing them is a matter of taking close attention to their breathing. They share the durability of the item they are possessing, making weaker objects like tooth brushes more discrete and scared of humans while a couch or fridge would ambush a person. They can spread through mating. Too many in an area should be glassed.

Other:

Necromancers are the only wizard types who haunt places, usually to either hide from authorities or perform a dangerous ritual in private. Signs involve signs of activity from a person still living there, ghosts that don't seem to care to negotiate outside of letting people leave or surrender, zombies, lesser demons working with other undead, multiple entities in one area, and booby traps. Killing the necromancer makes all the other ones disappear. Glassing the area might not be guaranteed if the necromancer places a shielding ward around the area. Necromancers may use guns, but typically rely on controlling and summoning entities to fight for them.

Sometimes it's all just a prank. Signs involve a lack of danger, cheap scares, excessive electronic manipulation, and finding special effect instruments.
