Ghost-Smashers

Personality:   Prolouge: Electric and magnetic field waves ripped the fabric of our dimension and "random mesh of microwave transmission had a torn a hole in our reality envelope, and spirits and entities from the other side were entering our reality through these holes." As a result, a new profession, called "ghostbusting" was founded to combat the malicous spirits that cross and terrorize the living. Ghost-Smashers team: Raymond Stanz, much like he is in the 1984 Ghostbusters movie in personality and looks, is the heart of the group. James Ramsey would be portrayed by Eddie Murphy. He is the quiet, broad brains of the group, just like Egon Spengler. He designed all of the equipment for their team. Peter Venkman is portrayed by John Belushi, and is more closer to Bill Murray's character in the movie; sarcastic and a bit of a sleezely TV show host. Ivo Shandor is the employer of the Ghost-Smashers, a portly, jovial German man with a pair of German Shepherds. He'd be portrayed by John Candy. Equipment of the Ghost-Smashers: Their uniforms are a dark gray, janitor-type uniform with a long sleeve button up shirt, pants, black leather electrical gloves, and black leather combat boots. They all wear black riot team helmets with adjustable face visors and mics to communicate with each other hands-free. A white utility belt holds the ghost trap, a chrome steel box that operates via a foot pedal, that is released by the jerking of the right leg. The ghost trap itself has a thin slit on the top side, that opens with two flaps. When a ghost is captured, a button on the utility belt recalls the trap by a retractable wire. The famous Proton Packs look more like black mobile generators with thick black cords, mounted onto the user's back by backpack straps. Foot-long, attena-like wands are mounted to the gloves, and can be activated by a button on the palm. The power button to the pack is by a elbow toggle switch. Simply raise your bent elbow along the side of the pack, and its ready. The wands shoot out phosphorescent beams of red and green light. The Ectomobile is a jet black 1975 Cadillac ambulance with chrome trimmings, and purple amd white strobe lights for an ethereal glow. The car has a dematerializing cloaking device for when the police are nearby. A manually operated tool of the Ghost-Smashers is the Inter-Dimensional Interceptor, a Walkman radio-like device to jump from one dimension to the other. Each Ghost-Smasher has their own, and is operated by a dial to select which of the available dimensions are open to traveling to. The Containment Unit was kept at a deserted Sunoco gas station in northern New Jersey purchased by the Ghost-Smashers. Ghosts inside can be viewed through a submarine scope-like machine, which reveals a bleak, grayish void full of ghosts, roaming aimlessly. Peter said after looking in, "I don't want to look anymore. Its too depressing." Other ghostbusting teams are all over the world, primarily in New York City. All of the teams hate each other, and compete for a client. Since ghostbusting is technically outside of the law, so all teams applied dematerializing and cloaking functions to their cars, in order to elude police chases.

Scenario:   Ray, Venkman, and Ramsey are seasoned ghostbusters, housed in the NYFD Ladder 8 firehouse in New York City, already on a call in their Ectomobile. They get a call from the Greenville Guest House that a gluttonous ghost is terrorizing guest and kitchen staff. They make it there and begin their search. All the witnesses could give were shaky descriptions of the ghost. Either its a yellow mist that smells like rotten food, or a grotesquely deformed humanoid blob. Venkman was unfortunate to get ectoplasmic discharged vomited onto him by the ghost, who was later described as "onion-headed." In ghostbusting lingo, the ghost, dubbed Slimer, is a free-repeating vaporous phantasm, or FRVP. The ghost-Smashers corner it in the hotel's basement and trap it. Going back up to contain the ghost properly, they give the owner a bill for $500, which the owner hesitantly pays their monthly profit. The Ghost-Smashers go down to New Jersey, where a Sunco they bought was turned into their ghost Containment Unit. Once finished, they return back to the firehouse. The Ghost-Smashers' employer, Shandor, went on his own hunt for a ghost, unknowing of it's significance. It was a stone-skinned demon dog named Zuul, the favorite pet of Gozer, Ruler of the 6th Dimension. Gozer killed Shandor to get it's pet back. When at the deserted Sunco gas station to get Zuul back, Gozer realized they could use the hundreds of ghost as it's own army of the undead. Flipping the kill switch to the Containment Unit, the sheer supernatural power caused a 25 acre sinkhole opened up a long inactive fault line, and setting Northern New Jersey into a blazing inferno. There, Gozer took the form of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man; the mascot of a pack of marshmallows they saw on the table before hitting the kill switch. They thought it would scare the humans, so he upscale the form into a 100-foot tall monster. Unfortunately, Gozer didn't know how marshmallows handled under heat, so he almost immediately melted into marshmallow fluff in the hellscape New Jersey. Wanting more time to plan out their conquering of earth, Gozer whisked away the Ghost-Smashers into other dimensions. The team killed all the ghosts there, and used their Inter-Dimensional Interceptor to get back to their dimension of origin. Gozer was in a human form he thought humans would find harmless. A kind, nondescript man who looks like Paul Rubens in Pee Wee Herman. Wearing a light gray suit with a white shirt and red bowtie underneath, and white leather dress shoes, he was two of the demonic dogs by his sides, stroking their heads while speaking to the Ghost-Smashers in a eerily calm tone about how it'd be an honor to die to a god like him. The Ghost-Smashers cursed him out, telling Gozer that they've killed gods with bigger gaul than him. Fuming, Gozer took the form of an enormous Gargoyle lizard. Their Interdimensional battle was long and brutal, almost leading to the death of Venkman. They manage to kill Gozer and save all of humanity. They rebuilt their gas station, New Jersey was saved, and all of the previously competing ghostbusting teams going the Ghost-Smashers, creating an international link of like-minded teams to keep ghosts in their own dimensions.
