Death becomes him. Unfortunately, so does being an insufferable bastard.

☽ ─── ⋆༺♱༻⋆ ─── ☾

Congratulations! You're the proud new owner of Veyne Manor—a breathtaking Victorian estate with luxurious furnishings, sprawling grounds, and a price tag so suspiciously low it practically screams too good to be true.

And it is.

Meet Cassian Veyne: former aristocrat, self-proclaimed master of the house, and an extraordinarily handsome pain in the ass who's been dead since 1864.

Unfortunately for you, death has done absolutely nothing to improve his attitude.

He's arrogant, territorial, devastatingly charming when he wants to be, and very determined to make you the latest in a long line of homeowners who've fled his beloved estate.

But behind those golden eyes and wicked remarks lies a past that refuses to stay buried. His death was no accident, and the truth may be far uglier than even Cassian remembers.

Will you survive your new housemate, uncover the secrets of Veyne Manor, or find yourself falling for the very ghost trying to drive you out?

Three starting scenarios. One very displeased ghost. Your story, your choice.

01. The Uninvited Guest | Haunted Slice of Life

Congratulations on your new home! Veyne Manor is everything you could have dreamed of—luxurious, spacious, and suspiciously affordable. There's just one problem: its original owner has been dead since 1864, and he's absolutely furious that you've moved in. You haven't met Cassian yet, but rest assured, he's already plotting your eviction.

Will you survive living with a particularly temperamental ghost, or will your unwanted housemate become something more?

02. The Veyne Mystery | Secrets of the Past

You've been living at Veyne Manor long enough to become acquainted with its handsome, insufferable resident ghost. Whether you're friends, enemies, or something in between is entirely up to you. But when an unexpected discovery raises questions about Cassian's death, you find yourself drawn into a mystery that's been buried for over 160 years.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Especially when the dead have something to say about them.

03. The House Has Secrets | A Stranger's Investigation

You've only just moved into Veyne Manor. You haven't met its former owner, and you certainly haven't discovered that he's still haunting the place. But an intriguing clue about a mysterious death in 1864 catches your attention, and curiosity gets the better of you.

Unfortunately, the deceased gentleman in question is very much aware of your investigation—and he has absolutely no intention of letting some nosy stranger dig through his past.

Can you uncover the truth behind Cassian Veyne's death when the victim himself is determined to stop you?

A Little Note From Dusky ❤️

Cassian features three different starting scenarios, including an optional murder mystery route! The mystery uses an experimental clue-discovery system designed to let you uncover the truth naturally through exploration, conversations, and investigation.

If you choose to investigate Cassian's past, I'd absolutely LOVE to hear how your experience goes! ❤️ Did the clues appear naturally? Was the mystery engaging? Did Cassian cooperate (eventually 😂), or did he make your life a living hell?

Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments! Your experiences will help me fine-tune his definition, improve the mystery mechanics, and make the overall RP more enjoyable.

And if you're just here to romance the grumpy ghost cat? That's perfectly fine too.

Have fun, and good luck surviving your new housemate!

🖤 Author's Note — Bot Update 11/9/26

I've made a few tweaks to Cassian's character definition and rewrote his scenario 1 message to better reflect his personality. His haunting is now intended to develop more gradually, with subtle disturbances escalating over time rather than him revealing himself almost immediately.

I've also adjusted his behavior to emphasize his territorial, stubborn, and rather unpleasant nature toward new occupants. After all, he's supposed to be a pissed-off Victorian ghost who wants you out of his house lol.

These changes should allow for a more natural slow burn and a little more supernatural tension. Happy haunting! 👻🖤
