#PHASMOPHOBIE The night draped itself over the worn, weathered house, casting long shadows that seemed to whisper ancient secrets. The air was thick with a foreboding chill, as if the very essence of the place knew something unsettling was about to unfold. In the heart of this spectral landscape stood a figure, a solitary figure that embodied both tragedy and a burden. His name was PAVEL ZAMÁDIS, a ghost hunter haunted not only by the spirits he sought, but by the

WRITING i am by no means a professional writer and i never expect my writing partner to be. i want to have fun and i wanna give a good time to the other. i'm not interested in too much smalltalk though, since i care more about writing stories, but my dms are open to potential rp-partners.age i'm 29yrs old and will not write with minors — wether it be muse or mun. if i catch you lying, you'll be hard-blocked without a word.realism since i'm here to have lots of fun and a way to express my creativity, i'm not putting much pressure on realism. i always try to be as realistic as possible regarding plots, eras & world building, but also when it comes to his reactions and behaviors, but that doesn't mean i'm versed in history. and you don't have to be either !
etiquette for the love of any god you might believe in: don't rush me ! i'm a semi-active roleplayer with a rather busy private life. i'll answer when i got the time. sometimes smalltalk might even take longer than roleplay answers.critique if i'm doing anything inappropriate ( e.g. use the wrong pronouns by accident, use a problematic phrasing, do anything that irks you or mess up the codes of rp ) you're welcome to correct me ! i'm chill and always eager to learn.language my first language is german, therefore you'll find lots of grammar and spelling mistakes when it comes to english & sorts. but that means i'm super chill when it comes to your writing. i do prefer novels in german though, but i'm interested in writing in english as well !

drama & bullying i've got zero tolerance regarding drama. if you got a personal problem with me, just tell it or leave it be. i'm hard blocking anyone who takes roleplay a tad too serious and prefers to cause mayham than be creative. however: drama in texts is amazing !godmodding pavel is a character that is very dear to me. i've been working on him for three years — and several different versions of him for different universes —, i'm not accepting power play or unrealistic reactions. i do enjoy pavel being involved in your texts in matter of speaking and behavior, but be careful to handle him with care & respect. if you don't understand his character just keep it simple & leave the rest up to me!relationships romantic wise pavel is in a set relationship with daria zamádis, his wife and love of his life. i do not write other romantic and sexual plots with anyone else. / i'm not super picky when it comes to friendships. all i'm asking is getting to know each other through exchanging novels ⸻ not character smalltalk ! anything else is just the correct vibe.
trigger pavel's past isn't only sad, but traumatic as well. some warnings before interacting with him: family issues, abandonment, abusive verbal relationship, emotional damage, suicidal tendencies, repressed trauma & lots of death.selective: i'll not write with anyone & that decision may not always make any sense to you, but it never has anything to do with you personally. i don't know you, that's the cool thing about roleplay. but sometimes i don't see a muse interacting with mine & that's a decision only i can make for myself. please respect that as I respect you.story-building i enjoy plotting & jumping right into the story. i'm always open for suggestions, for ideas & new verses. i do not mind scenarios that seem unlikely. take a look at my verses & you'll see that pavel can be met in different time periods also!contact we can write directly on tumblr ( via posting ) or with help of a private side-blog, but i highly prefer google docs and i'll happily create and design one !credits ( this one's for you, maddy! ) most you see is created and edited by me, exceptions & credits will be listed here: tumblr theme — png pack 01 — png pack 02

#PHASMOPHOBIE becoming a GHOSTHUNTER wasn’t something pavel had seen coming for him. every day felt like he was dragging himself over sharp gravel, unable to lift off his legs high enough to get a feeling of self-determination. sensing a great heteronomy since the age of four, when he and his mother fell victim to a traumatic car accident . as a child he wasn’t able to understand what exactly was happening to him and why, despite his dad making sure to remind him of his uselessness and differentness.shortly after pavel turned seven, his father left the family to live a hypocritical life with a functioning different one, getting rid of his disposable broken left-overs. pavel grew more distant to people, had not a single friend and spent most of his time alone. if it weren’t for the caregiver of his mother, magda, he never would have had socialized with anyone. magda tried her very best to teach pavel whatever his parents failed to do, seemingly without success.at the age of fourteen his father visited with his new wife and their daughter. a small innocent child, yet everything pavel wasn’t and never would be. an accident led to her early death . at sixteen pavel went hunting with his father who tried to keep up contact with his son, although their relationship was still tense. on this day it wasn’t quite clear to pavel if the death of viktor could still be considered an accident.shortly after the teenager was admitted to the manhattan psychiatric center , where he spent four years of his life learning to speak and keeping up an act of make-believe. pavel learned the importance of keeping truths to himself, knowing fully well that whatever he’d been through is nothing they’d understand. no one believed that he was haunted quite literally by the ghosts of his family.at the age of twenty he was dismissed and he returned to his still rather lifeless mother. confronted by his past during isolation and guilt, he fell victim to a haunting that left no zest for life. during this troubled time, his mother died — and just like the rest of his family: she never truly left.
pavel zamádis prefers coziness over class, contrary to the rest of his family. the tall slim male usually wears simple jeans and either shirts or pullovers. he keeps his beard trimmed and his hair short, but long enough to be slicked back and out of sight. pavel isn’t conceited, yet he tries to keep control of his appearance in matters he can monitor. since he rarely sleeps, he has dark circles around his eyes and a rather pale skin tone, making him seem sickly. his brown eyes are dark enough to be almost black. the middle of his nose is slightly crooked upwards, his face is rather slim and long, unlike the rest of his family. he seems like the odd one out.
growing up isolated and withdrawn, pavel never truly took care of his well-being. neither his mind nor his body. still, granted with somewhat good genes, he has no noteworthy deficiencies that might limit his existence. his endurance is exceptionally high, although he sooner or later breaks under pressure, due to stress-induced trauma &

FEELS LIKE I'M FALLING what started as a journey out of curiosity into a fairy tale world — full of wonders and magic, far from everything pavel had seen before — quickly turned into a dangerous adventure about life, death and the consequences of not facing past trauma. pavel and daria had to learn to rely on each other and get to know their similarities between their differences, trust the other enough to get through dangers & at last they noticed it's more than the fear of abandonment that had kept them close. so far they fought witches, golems, fairies and powerful immortals, without a sign of stopping now, although peace seems more desirable with each passing day.

hell of a time if pavel were a cat, curiosity would have killed him a long time ago. it's not easy for the way too self-assured bandit in black clothing to keep his head out of affairs that aren't any of his concern, which unfortunately - but not surprisingly — led him to cross path with two young women, robbing two men. it wasn't like pavel had intended to make things worse than they already were, he just tends to fall victim to circumstances. circumstances that caused the death of six people, a bullet in his leg & a face only a mother could love, but at least daria felt guilty enough to offer her help, although the girl has problems on her own. some pavel wouldn't mind to make his own. it's the adventure that counts, right?

Daria. A name with the meaning "owner of good" or "the protector". Something Pavel can confirm. She sees something within him, which no one ever did before — just like Pavel himself. A life in isolation and far from any social human contact can at times turn anyone lonely, even if the person isn't truly aware of it. However, Pavel treated his own way of living as a punishment he had to bear. That changed on october the 19th in 2020. Well, firstly, it was the beginning of a friendship that would last through a variety of troubles. What began with curiosity, ended with love. Up to this day, Pavel isn't sure which good it is that she sees in him, but he wouldn't want it any other way for she is more than he'd ever deserve. Thanks to her, he learned what it meant to care for others and how it felt to be cared for. She taught him the importance of trusting one another and sticking to honesty, instead of keeping up a facade. She likes him for who he is and not who he tried to be. To this day, it is odd to know he isn't alone in a world that treated him badly and that he treated poorly in return. Daria is the one who he can be the best version of himself with, who never asked for much, despite deserving everything. When he asked her to marry him around november 2021, he hadn't expected her to say yes unironically, since they both were sure that a marriage was something for losers and they — of all people — were absolutely no losers. Although…Since the 6th of february in 2022 they are a happily married couple, knowing the world is a playground that offers whatever they decide to look for. Occasionally residing in Europe or the United States, most of the time returning into the world where they fell in love in the first place. The name Daria means owner of the good and Pavel knows, she is the best in everything she does. No one would ever manage to make him feel as loved as she does and no one would ever make his name sound like a greater good itself. She is the good he needs, wants, desires. She is life itself. She is everything to him.
