#Shadow Core Fright Knight

Another Prompt in Memes?! Yes.

Reincarnation AU but it's not Danny

So! In basically every single Reincarnation AU I've seen, it's always Danny who gets reincarnated as a DC character. Sometimes it's Jazz, other times it's his Friends, but it never really strays from them. And I think we've been ignoring some people...

The Ancients! Danny is always reincarnated as a "Vacation" from his Ghost King Duties, so why not give the same courtesy to the other Ancients?

Specifically, Fright Knight.

Fright Knight has been a loyal servant and Knight of his Master for Millenia. Ever since he first formed as the Autumn Spirit, the Embodiment of Fear, the Fright Knight, he had declared his Servitude to the Ghost King, whomever it may be at the time. And he stayed in that position, through the passing of the Crown, through the Violent Coups, through every single Ghost King who had taken to the mantle. He was their Loyal Knight. Never Wavering. Never leaving their side.

Until Pariah Dark, but that situation was different. No previous King had even tried to take the human world before.

Thankfully, Pariah had only taken the Throne for a mere 5000 years, so he had not had to put up with him for long, and much of that time was with him stuck in his Coffin. That was the first time Fright Knight had ever left his Masters Side.

Then, that insolent Halfa he had met before came into the picture and Fright Knight had a new master.

King Phantom was...different.

Perhaps it was his remaining Humanity poking through? Or was it was the influence of the Human Realm that he still regularly visited? Or maybe he was simply just a Good Person, and there was no deeper meaning behind it?

Either way, Fright Knight noticed that he cared for his subjects in a far deeper manner than any previous king had. He had personal connections with as many Ghosts as he could, and often called the Ghosts he ruled his, Friends. It warmed his Long Frozen Core to see a King valuing his Subjects as much as he did.

He did not realize that the kindness Phantom extended to his people, also extended to himself.

One day, Phantom had been discussing his Human Life with some of his friends. Not his First Life, but his most recent Vacation. Over the Eons since he had taken the Throne, Phantom had been encouraged to take a Vacation every once in a while. It was not healthy for a Ghost to work non-stop like he did, especially for a Halfa.

It was not an uncommon practice in the Realms, many would take a break from the Endlessness of Death to embrace Life once more through Reincarnation. Although, many were too weak to retain their memories upon their second Forming. Mostly, it was Ancients or Kings who would use this as a Vacation, rather than a New Beginning.

There came a break in the conversation, and King Phantom turned his attention to his Knight. "Frighty, when was the last time you Reincarnated? Pandora did so recently, and it got me thinking."

"I have not taken leave of my post for thr Eons since my Forming, My Lord" Replied the Knight with Pride.

"What? You haven't taken a Break since you formed!? Frighty! That's not Healthy!" Exclaimed his King.

This lead to a whole conversation about how unhealthy his lifestyle was, which was another quirk of his Master. He cared for his Sunjects beyond their happiness.

"Fright Knight, as your King and as your Friend, I implore you to take a Vacation. It doesn't have to be forever, just a simple Human Lifespan, but please take a break, for your own Good."

And how could he refuse a request like that? One based in the kindness that his Majesty always showed his Subjects.

It took a few more years to finally iron out the plan for his Vacation, but what are a few years in the face of Eternity?

Finally, it came time to take his leave to the Mortal Realm, and to Life itself.

"Farewell, my Leige." Bowed Fright Knight, "I thank you for this opportunity."

"There's no need to thank me. Now go, and have fun, My Dark Knight."

...

That day, in Gotham General Hospital, a baby was born.

"What will you name him?" Asked the Doctor.

"I think I'll call him..." Began the need Mother, "...Bruce. Bruce Wayne."

Tim Drakes sleeping habits save the earth

Part 8 The beginning of the storm

Ellie was asleep on clockworks lap, covered in bandages. There was not much for them to do but hurry up and wait until they were needed. Frostbite was watching the three different groups Clockwork had pulled up on his portable viewing Mirrors. The yetis face was a cross between anger at the GIW and joy that his friend Lazarus had returned. Lazarus had been a good friend they had grown up together with Undergrowth, Vortex, Nocturne,Clockwork, and Morrigan. The 7 of them had rained holy terror on the Realms growing up. To young, to powerful and to board they explored the infinite realms making Friends, enemies and new Discoveries along the way. They Learned and made mistakes but they were all together. Through thick and thin they remained good friends and grew into their powers, gained mantles and responsibility.

Things were Bright and Joyful Lazarus had done the impossible and United the Realms into one kingdom, Clockwork had taken the mantle of time keeper, Nocturne became the Guardian or Dreams, Vortex was the Crazy Trouble maker of the group was learning to control the weather. Undergrowth was working to grow things for the Green, Frostbite had taken over the far Frozen from his father and Morrigan, sweet little Morrigan who could get the six most stubborn people in the universe to behave had become a goddess of Death and had Married Lazarus.

They had kept in touch giving each other advice and helping one another everyone in the realm had been happy to learn Morrigan had become pregnant with twins. Haroldas Fright knight and Lady Pala Gotham had been born with much fanfare and were little Terrors gowning up but the birth had not been and easy one and Inanna had never quite been the same after their birth. She fought so hard but by the time the Twins were in their teens Morrigan had started to fade, and so came to pass the first Phantom Queen of the Infinite Realms. Morrigan Stayed but it was a near thing he was finally starting to heal when Dark Parish had started to rise to power. His obsession was power he had created a ring that amplified his anger and started to take over the kingdom territories at an alarming rate. Finally he attacked Lazarus and would have killed him if Clockwork hadn't intervened.

Clockwork grinned, it was not a nice or happy grin. He showed to many teeth and it stretched in a way that would make anything living want to run. It was a feral your going down with me grin. Frostbite saw it out of the corner of his and and responded in a Matching grin their group of friends were no longer as close together with their tethers (Morrigan and Lazarus) gone but some things don't change. Frostbite looked at his old Friend and his almost Grand Nieces. "I recognize that grins Gears what do you see?"

"My Sister Morrigan is Returning and Danny is my Son I gave him my ectoplasam when he turned into a true Halfa. Ellie is coming into her powers as a Goddess of Life, Travel, and a Guardian or Mirror Born's Danny is the Balance and space. Death is needed and she is not Happy about what has happened to her younger co Gods and Nibling."

Frostbite gave a harsh laugh "They are in for it now maybe she can straiten out Vortex and Undergrowth?"

"Before or after she finds out what they did and kills them?

Both looked back at the screens and watches Lady Gotham Preen like a happy cat at Alfred taking care of her. "Should I be worried?" asked Frostbite.

"No he is a good man and he will treat her well when he becomes a Ghost."

Frostbite blinks in surprise and a little worried "he becomes a Ghost?"

"yes one of the few who will become on no mater how he dies he is going to be a ghost he will have a duel Time and shadow core."

"A TIME CORE! but your the only know time core in the last 20,000 years"

"Yes he will help me watch the time lines with hero's he will be family after all and he will be instrumental in helping Phantom recover."

"How?"

"Alfred is going to be powerful he is already getting echos form his future powers. There is a reason nobody wants to mess with Alfred."

Frostbite decided he didn't want to know and turned his attention to a different Mirror. "Do you think that Pandora and Fright will Finally get together Gears?"

Clockwork gowned and facepalmed "Not without outside interference, I am so close to putting them in a an time loop until they get their act together. For two of our top tacticians they are not very emotion smart and they are Born ghost."

"Its only been a thousand years" Frostbite teased.

"They are more emotionally constipated than Batman without therapy." Clockwork flinched all teasing wiped from his face. "They have started to experiment on Danny I am blocking part of the bond to Ellie."

Frostbite became serious again "I know you can't tell me about what is to come but if I list off some equipment can you tell me if I don't need it?"

"Go for it Little Bite"

"I"m Four times Bigger than you Gears!"

"Yet you still call me Gears!"

THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF.

And I COMPLETELY forgot about everyone else! I need them to all show up, and see the OTHER very obviously Eldritch Entities here.

Imagine during the Party - they arrive, in front of the MASSIVE Castle that looks a mix of a freaking Sci-Fi World and just a regular Castle in a big, giant ass-green world filled with purple islands and doors.

Add onto the literal HELL KNIGHT greeting them (Fright Knight being a Bro) and leading them inside and suddenly they are all assaulted by FIVE other Eldritch Entities.

Sam Manson, the New Ancient of the Green dressed in black and green and basically looks badass. Green, all of that stuff. Undergrowth's Daughter. Sounds like soul getting dug up, and plants growing.

Tucker Foley, Reincarnation of Duul-Aman, and the Ancient of Modern Technology. All in his Egyptian Garb, and his Mummified Guards. Sounds like code.

Ellie Phantom, Ancient of Freedom and - my personal headcanon - Wearing a Pirate's Outfit to pretty much say she's a rebel and goes wherever she damn well pleases all while exploring every inch of the world. She sounds like Water Splashing. Water Core Ellie!

Dan Phantom - looks like fucking SISYPHUS PRIME but with clothes and the uh, lacking of the freaking SUN for a face. Dressed in Greek Garb, and looks extremely badass.

Jazz Fenton, who looks the most NORMAL - But that's the thing, she looks TOO normal. Just small inconsistensies that fit her perfectly, TOO perfectly. And she's ready to Psychoanalyze everyone.

Everyone is instantly tense, only for Dark Shadow to pop up and call out - "UNCLES! AUNTIES!"

And everyone just BLUESCREENS as the Eldritch Monstrosities pretty much coo at Dark Shadow and they pat him, and look at the other kids and teachers like, 'These are your friends? Aww, they're so precious!'

Midoryia is muttering a MILE A MINUTE. Kirishima and Denki are in shock, Mina is just squealing at how cute they are. Jiro is just being assaulted by SO MUCH NOISE but at the same time, can understand them easily.

Meanwhile the Heroes are having a breakdown at the fact that one of their Students is apparently a fucking Godchild and the NEPHEW of a few fucking GODS.

Nedzu is having the time of his LIFE. Aizawa needs so much fucking Aspirin for this shit, All-Might keeps coughing up blood - woah dude, you good there? Why the fuck are there so many souls attached to you and that green-haired-child? - Nemuri is admiring the place and so on.

And so, with introductions outta the way,

LET THE PARTY COMMENCE!

What If...? Danny was summoned into MHA? But not by a Villain.

Danny was summoned by a Younger Fumikage Tokoyami and Dark Shadow. They initially thought it'd be cool to summon the 'Ghost King' with all his edginess. I'd say he must be around 9 or 10 years old.

He summons Danny, freaks out over it - with Danny as well freaking out. Cause like, that's a child. With a Bird Head.

Some small shenanigans happen with Danny and Tokoyami calming down and talking to each other. The Ghost Zone has screwy timezones, so Danny has only been gone for about like maybe 5 minutes when he's been chatting with Tokoyami for an hour.

They become friends and such, with Danny liking the small kid. He basically gives the kid his 'Speed-Dial' summoning circle to call the kid if he's in danger or if he wants to hang out.

This pretty much SPEDRUN Tokoyami and Dark Shadow's whole edginess phase. Not to mention the extra training thanks to Johnny. Que years later, 15 year old Tokoyami is much more skilled and well-equipped.

He and Danny still talk often, being summoned and such. And Danny is proud of the kid! He's done so well! And Danny hasn't been slacking off either, he's now 26 years old cause again, Ghost Zone time shenanigans, and achieved Peace.

But then the USJ happens.

And Tokoyami is in danger.

Don't worry everyone, he knows someone who can help.

Que Tokoyami and Dark Shadow summing Eldritch Ghost King Danny who's ready to save his charge from the big bad Nomu and - what the fuck, that shit is NOT supposed to be alive.

And now, enter Shenanigans with Danny acting as Tokoyami's adopted Guardian as the Ghost King, and chilling in MHA and cheering him on while protecting him and others!

[some-rotten-nest]

Random DC/DP headcannons bc I can't sleep

Expect many typos

Danny hates storms, especially thunderstorms bc of the lighting cracking in the sky

Danny wears a power cuff like a bracelet that dampens his more violent powers bc he's scared of them (wail, large-scale ice like with undergrowth etc)

In one of his magazines, instead of bullets Jason keeps solid ectoplasm just in case, and so it's not conspicous

In his Phantom form Danny has a streak of black hair where his white usually is

Jason is fright knight (unless it's a Jason-Danny biologically related fic. Ghost Zone law says no one you share blood with (clones included) can become fright knight (but they can join the court and have other ranks))

Danny made a contingency plan against himself and with the help of a sibling (Cass most likely, though she did seem a bit sad) got it on the bat-computer. Password protected so Danny can't get into it. Bruce doesn't know and won't know until/if Danny goes bad. Bruce made a separate one for him.

Tim gets low and non-harmfil doses of ectoplasm in his coffee bc it is like a shit ton of caffeine for a living person. (Yes, some Amity Park drinks have ectoplasm in them too)

Danny asks Bruce, Tim and Lucius for help with Ghost King Shit TM

Duke has to squint when looking directly at ectoplasm (Danny's trying to find some solution but there isn't one)

Jason has a shadow core

Damian got extinct animals from Danny as a birthday gift multiple times (a dodo bird named Delilah, a messenger pigeon names Luke and a splendid posion frog named Ares)

To piss Bruce off, Jason got a pterodactyl he's named Flynn that he takes on patrol. Safe to safe, people get a hella more scared of Red Hood. Bruce hates it but Jason does actually love Flynn and Bruce can't bring himself to take Flynn awya

Danny made a patrol playlist for every member of the bat family and beyond bc he has one for when he goes out as Phantom (they all listen to their playlists and love them)

Before Danny was fully pulled into the family, he'd flinch at Dick's escrima sticks and still catches himself staring the weapon, his heart pounding

Danny found out Captain Marvel was a kid bc while on a mission with him, Captain Marvel pointed out that there was a pirate ship hovering above them and that Danny should probably deal with that. He'd, and any other Amity Parker that overhead, never laughed so badly in his entire life. Billy was never so scared & confused.

Bart and Danny are friends bc Dan had leveled most of the future before the Beatles took over what was left (I'm actually not that sure about Bart's backstory so feel free to correct me if something's wrong here)

Cass and Danny have staring contests alot. Sometimes the others think they've fallen asleep with their eyes open. They didn't.

Danny had a Twitter account for Phantom without Bruce knowing, but when Steph was trying to convince Bruce to let her have one she mentioned it and Danny had to delete it (he has an alt he now posts every embarrassing thing Batman does and has ever done)

Puns. So many puns between Dick & Danny.

Danny mumbles in his sleep

Crows flock to Danny like hungry tigers. Damian's envious but he gets to pet & feed them so it's mostly okay.

GW likes Jason and let's him borrow books whenever he wants to (also any destroyed book ends up with GW but that's a pretty common hc) but Jason has to swear not to give them to Danny. Not that Danny wants them.

Duke is helping Tucker out with studies and Tucker Duke with tech. Technus sometimes shows up too to help.

Johnny and Jason are dEAD bffs

Sam and Babs get on like a house on fire

Talia met Danny and they're actually friendly to each other. Sure, she's trying to trick Danny into giving her his throne, but Danny knew that and wasn't about to let that happen

Danny will randomly punch his siblings, smirk, then bow and say "my leige" and run away. The sibling now has the crown and is chasing to punch Danny back because honestly fuck that

Constantine is slightly terrified of Danny and Bruce uses it like a threat-- "John, if you don't answer, Danny will contact you." It works like a charm

When too excited, Danny and Jason will start talking in Ghost speech. It freaks everyone else but Damian and Cass out bc the same sounds came from the pits

Take, edit, have fun with whatever you want here. It's just bs that crawls around my brain for funsies and won't let me sleep.

Videos taken in Amity Park tend to become corrupted once they leave Amity Park. The entire thing seems normal while you’re in Amity but once you leave the video warps and corrupts and gains a sort of Analog Horror vibe with sudden cuts to things that were never recorded, videos looping on random parts, random corruption and strange whispering heard throughout the entire thing. It gets worse if a ghost was caught on video before leaving Amity Park because their ghostly aura corrupts the video further, adding random connections to the ghost’s origin, obsession and core. (Example: a video that briefly caught Ember on camera may suddenly cut to scenes of a burning building, sometimes showing a figure resembling a living Ember trying (and failing) to escape the blaze. The video will also contain distorted singing and/or a ghostly voice begging the viewer not to forget about her.) A large amount of stores in Amity Park sell things to counteract this.

You get a similar effect if you set a radio or old tv to static and go near a ghost. Their aura will warp the static and create “Ghost Noises”. Every ghost creates different noises and you can usually figure out what ghost is nearby based on what noises you hear in the static.

If Ember is nearby the you’ll hear a mix of distorted singing and a crackling fire. It may also play music sung by Ember on occasion.

Technus’s presence generates morse code and noises that, when made into a spectrogram, show detailed blueprints for electrical machines invented in the late 1800s. The blueprints are extremely detailed and are all labeled “PROPERTY OF NICOLAI TECHNUS”. The machines range from radios to induction motors to something that looks like an early prototype of a computer with internet capabilities. Most machines have already been invented by other people, but the blueprints seen here are all dated years before those machines were invented.

If you’re listening while Skulker is nearby you’ll hear the sounds of machines wiring and inconsistent beeping. This is the suit giving off ectoplasmic signals and ghost noises as it moves around. Skulker himself is too small and weak for their ghost noises to be heard.

Spectra’s ghost noises sound like whispering. It’s impossible to make out what exactly the whispers are saying, but some have claimed that the whispers addressed them by name, mentioned their families or said things regarding their personal lives with frightening accuracy.

On the rare occasions that Sydney Poindexter is wandering around you’ll hear muffled sobbing. Faint whispering, similar to the noises of Spectra can also be heard in the background.

Youngblood’s ghost noises are mostly silent, but occasionally the very faint sounds of tires screeching followed by a crash can be heard.

Most animalistic ghosts (think Ectopuses, Shadow, Cujo, etc) create faint growling noises, usually the same kind of noises that the creature itself makes.

Johnny and Kitty sound like a mix of engines, tires screeching and gunshots. Faint growling, similar to the sound Shadow makes can also be heard on rare occasions.

The Box Ghost generates the sounds of heavy machinery. If you listen carefully, you can hear someone that sounds like the box ghost arguing with an unknown person in the background.

Phantom creates a noise that sounds like either ice cracking or electricity with extremely slowed screaming noises that, when sped up, sound exactly like Danny’s ghostly wail.

Plasmius creates the sound of acid sizzling as it dissolves something, along with the sounds of fire and extremely slowed down screaming.

The Fright Knight’s ghost noises aren’t like the other ghosts. While other ghost noises are partially obscured by static, The Fright Knight’s ghost noises are clear and unobscured by any static or outside interference, sounding like loud, maniacal laughter with the sounds of buildings crumbling, people screaming, and ghost speak as a constant chant plays In the background, detailing the horrors of the lord of the dead; King Pariah and how to summon him, along with the consequences of making a deal with him.

While no one has ever heard the ghost noises of the King himself, most items associated with him have their own ghost noises that most agree are pretty close to what he would have sounded like. They all sound like chanting. The chanting recalls tales of the ghost king’s cruelty and power. Those who listen quickly become drawn into it, eventually becoming fanatic worshipers of the King.

Clockwork creates the sound of a clock ticking.

Pandora’s ghost noises sound like war chants.

Nocturne creates no noise, but instead creates a sudden pause in the static and a strong feeling of sleepiness.

Have some twins Scale Mail Babies 🙃 the boy is called Bearwch and the girl Ioana

Pose from pagura_0162 More of Bearwch and Ioana's story and art under the "Keep Reading"

I hc most ghosts don’t feel the need to have kids (or "carnal intercourse"), more interest by their obsessions, so ghost babies and core eggs are rare. Ghost don’t reproduce like humans but do a sort of ritual with their hands joined to create a core cocoon where their offsprings bloom from after several weeks/months/years (depend of the egg). Shapes, patterns, textures and hardness of eggs vary, but the most common form is pure acid green sighlty squishy. Some colors are not easy/impossible to find in the Ghost Zone, and if the egg is especially pretty it’s making it vulnerable to thiefs and hunters, either for selling either for eating (aka ghosthunger and scrambled gheggs asdfghjkl). Having twins coming from a single core egg is even more rare. Luckily for future Bearwch and Ioana, they are well protected by their parents and their friends.

Ghosts Babies are as weak as Blob Ghosts and a bit smaller than human babies, they grow faster too

Sidney with the babies

Not everybody is good with kids, and Ioana doesn’t care about the freshly crowned king’s feelings, at all

Unlike the monarch, Fright Knight’s best friend is surprising good

Bearwch’s head could be separate from the body like his dad

Dora tried to see if throwing her kids on her brother might make him less grumpy it works a bit

Teens

Iona is a bit of a tomboy and assertive, but also a bit agressive and pushy, borderline bullying sometimes, especially toward her little brother (even if she cares about him a lot). Iona is also very intelligent, strong and mature; she learnt to use a sword and a bow at a very young age, and created arrows with her core. Though able to used both she preferred to perfect her skill with the bow. She can also use both her forms & powers to perfection. Even if Iona has excellent capabilities and natural talents, she hide some insecurities and still works a lot to hope one day be deserving of the Dragon Kingdom’s throne.

Bearwch is a shy nerdy boy, he has some difficulties expressing his needs/wishes and is ashamed of his appearance. He is also very smart and courageous, he probably has more habilities than his “big” sister, but his lack of confidence make him lose control over situations. When he is shy, scared or angry his green eyes fade, so it’s very easy to read him. Bearwch prefers to use his sword and close combat, maybe as a way to prove & differentiate himself and not live in his sister’s shadow.

Bearwch, despite his skull, is more expressive and a little bubble of sunshine, making friends easily, unlike his sister Iona whose face is more emotionless and cold despite being made of “flesh”.

Dragon forms, black dragon with a mane of purple fire & skeletal dragon

Maybe I should do a post about how I see their future, who will have the throne and succeed Dora 🙃

It will be a lot of angst and siblings rivalry 😔

Battle for the Iron Throne

A/N: This is by a guest author, Gailhart13. Everyone give it up for them!

The kids had been evacuated to different dimensions. Sam had been moved to Clockwork Tower. And Danny … he was staring down the throne room to one of his greatest enemies. He would argue that Overgrowth and Nocturne were larger threats. Fright Knight would be on that list of he wasn’t loyal to the Crown of Fire.

Anyways, right now, he was staring at Vlad Plasmius.

“You have been a thorn in my side for years now. Destroyed the dignity of my human half and exiled my ghost half from spectral society. I call upon the Ring of Rage to challenge you for the throne”, Vlad declared as his form floated off the ground and his body changed. 

His chest started to bulk up until he rivaled the stature of Jack Fenton. His hair changed into an imitation of a crown around his horn-like style. His legs dissipated into a gaseous tail like Disiree. Where once a thin ghost with strong muscles stood was now a ghoul ready to die trying to get revenge.

“I, Daniel Fenton, the rightful King of the Ghost Zone, acknowledge your challenge”, Danny stated. As he said this, the Ring of Rage flew off his finger and floated in the middle of the room. Then the doors burst into flame, sealing the new arena.

“You have no allies this time. No ghosts. No seers. No ancients. No friends. No Clockwork. Do you think you still have a chance Daniel?”.

“Bring it on Fruit Loop”.

As he said this, the enraged Vlad flew forward. To match his opponent, Danny changed his legs into a tail and took off. Fist meeting fist, the challenge started. Vlad favored heavy heavy smashes while Danny favored grapples. Vlad would land a hammer fist. Danny would wrap his tail around his body and toss him aside.

After showing off their strength, Vlad and Danny started to fight as ghosts. Vlad started firing his pink ecto-lasers from his eyes and hands as he maneuvered around Danny. Danny would either stretch his body around or create ecto-shields around him before firing his green ecto-lasers. 

Trying to close the distance, Danny turned his tail back into legs and ran across the wall before landing an ecto-strike to Vlads jaw. Unfortunately, one of Vlad’s advantages was his advanced ecto-immunity. While he staggered back, Vlad was able to tank the hit.

“That tickled little badger. Let me show you how you land an ecto-strike”, Vlad said as he reared his glowing fist back and launched Danny across the room.

Righting himself mid-fight before hitting the wall, Danny rushed back to the fight. The room lit up in flashes of green and pink as the two combatants flew around.

Tired of the stalemate, Vlad pulled out another trump card. The room suddenly had dozens of ghouls as they fired at Danny from all angles. While being one of the most powerful ghosts, Danny was still bad at duplication as the skill was more aligned with more malleable cores like Vlad’s wind core.

Thankfully, Danny studied with dozens of ghosts over his reign and picked up skills that ice core ghosts would develop. He dodged lasers by phasing into shadows while launching fire, lightning, and light to destroy Vlad clones.

Eventually, every clone was destroyed, leaving Danny alone in the room. Of course the cowardly fruit loop would hide away from the actual fight.

“You know Vlad, light cores like Amorpho are all about creating illusions and shining light, they can also do the opposite. Let me demonstrate”, Danny announced to the seemingly empty room. 

As he said this, every light in the room turned off and the room faded to black. Void was a skill Danny learned, sucking in all the light. Combine this with Ecto-Vision and even invisibility didn’t matter. Taking the shot, a green laser struck through the darkness and slammed right into the cowardly ghoul. As he fell to the ground, the lights returned.

“Do you yield, Vlad? While I am usually generous, you scared my children. I will banish you to the lower ecto-planes”, Danny declared as he stood over the ghost laying on the floor.

“Not yet”, Vlad snarled as he summoned a massive Ghost Tornado. Sucked into the storm, Danny was thrown around until he hit the ground hard. With the wind knocked out of him, he didn’t have a chance to notice Vlad swooping down and plunging his hand into Phantom’s chest, squeezing his core.

“I will relish extinguishing your core Daniel”, Vlad said as he felt the core crack under his fist. “Once you are dead, I will enslave that wife of yours and make her life and afterlife in this palace. Then, I will track down every soul under my thumb and kill all the whelps you call a child.”

Danny was going through a range of emotions. Pain at his breaking core. Fear for his family. Sadness at the thought of his final death. But most of all, he felt anger … no. Pure, unbridled RAGE.

In a burst of energy, Danny’s aural projection through Vlad across the room. As Vlad slammed into the door he walked in, Danny summoned the furniture and imbued them with his power. The commanded tables and chairs tacked Vlad to the floor as Danny launched himself to the older Halfa.

And with no witty banter or monologue, Danny plunged his hand into Vlad’s chest and shattered his core without a second thought.  Without a core, the not quite a nemesis faded out of existence.

“No one threatens my family”, Danny said as he collapsed.

As he did not reclaim the ring, the castle was still sealed shut. And that it would remain for a month until Danny reawoke from his healing.

Wished Away 10

A Mother-Daughter Talk:

“When I first started a relationship with the Doctor,” Rose began, watching the man in question play with her little brother, their pseudo-daughter, and their actual daughter, “a real one, more than whatever the hell we were doin’ before, he warned me. No kids.”

Jackie gasped, “You mean he didn’t want a—?”

Rose gave a bitter laugh, “No, like, literally. We couldn’t have kids. Too different, genetic wise. He’d need another Time Lord or Lady, that’s what the women were called, Time Ladies, ta…Loom a kid with. He may have the parts, Mum, an’ be able ta use ‘em, but they didn’t make or carry babies like humans do. The babies were…best translation is ‘woven together’ by machines out of two separate DNA sources. Then they were given over ta professionals—like foster-parents almost. Nobody raised their own kids… He isn’t even sure how exactly his granddaughter was related ta him, just that she wasn’t a daughter but was a direct descendant.”

Jackie was gaping at her daughter.

“Not even Bad Wolf makes us compatible, even if we had a Loom. “Cause he’s shootin’ blanks…an’…’m sterile too now…”

“Rose!”

“I don’t…my eggs might still be good, but I don’t ovulate or get monthlies anymore,” Rose explained, “’m frozen, exactly how I was when Bad Wolf took me. Nothing ‘bout me can change permanently. I don’t even scar. Haven’t had to cut or dye my hair since then either. My nails don’t grow. I wasn’t ovulatin’ or bleedin’ so I don’t anymore. I never will again.”

“Oh, Rose…”

“I’d do it again,” Rose assured her mother firmly, “even if ya went back an’ warned me ‘bout all this. I��d���ve taken any help I could to save him…We’re lucky Bad Wolf’s so benevolent. She could stuff me inside my own head permanently an’ there’d be nothin’ we could do ‘bout it. Not even the Doctor.”

“Rose…what did you do?” Jackie whispered shakily, “When you first met Bad Wolf?”

“I don’t remember,” Rose admitted, “Bad Wolf says I traded my life for the Doctor’s—Jack’s only alive cause she was feeling nice—the mortal life an’ death ahead of me. All my possible futures as a mortal human woman, gone. I had one thought, Mum; the Doctor. I had ta get back ta him. Didn’t care ‘bout anythin’ else. Apparently, Clockwork says we’re literal soulmates. I’d’ve survived his death but I would—either grieve for the rest of my life or gone absolutely crazy,” Rose smiled sadly, “an’ I woulda…I didn’t have a kid ta hold on for.”

“Me an’ Pete…?”

“Soulmates, or Bad Wolf says; both of them. Just like Pete here lost his Jackie, you lost your Pete. An’ it was some major meddling for you two ta meet,” Rose’s smile turned brighter, “between you an’ me? Think Bad Wolf had a hand in that somewhere.”

Jackie nodded faintly, before questioning, “What ‘bout Jenny? If you an’ he aren’t compatible then how…?”

“We’re not sure,” Rose shrugged, “after her physical, after we got her home, the Doctor took samples; she belongs ta both of us but we’re both still incompatible an’ sterile. Then he took more samples from her; she’s genetically sound, everythin’ matches up where it should. Time Lord DNA’s doin’ the heavy-liftin’, but she registers as partly human too. Bad Wolf’s not talkin’. Neither is Clockwork.”

Jackie gave a slightly hysterical laugh, “Rose, if you told me years ago that aliens were real I’d’ve thought you drunk! Now here we are, talkin’ about gods an’ immortality! While your alien husband—”

“He’s not my husband,” Rose murmured, an old argument she didn’t really believe anymore.

“Uh-huh—as I was saying, your alien husband plays with your little brother, the girl cloned off you both, an’ the girl you accidentally kidnapped.”

Rose smiled again, lovingly as she looked to her family out on the front lawn of Tyler Mansion.

They had come a long way from Hendriks’ basement.

Prompt 268

Fright Knight sighs, running a clawed hand through his hair in an attempt to stop the flames from flickering into being. It had been far too long since he had taken a human-ish form. His human-ish form. Ugh. He didn’t exactly care for his human form after so long as a ghost, but needs must he supposed. 

Especially with the whole, we’re going to punch a backdoor into the literal daycare part of the Infinite Realms and be surprised when literal toddlers go exploring. 

Well, at least it got him off of guard duty for a bit, which was relieving. Not that he didn’t love the darkness, but it got boring in the shadow of his sword for literal centuries with nothing else happening. He was a warrior for Realm’s sake! Borderline an Ancient in both power and age! He wasn’t meant to stay so still for so long. 

So while ghostling wrangling wasn’t exactly in his area of expertise, he could definitely gather them back up to the Realms. And deal with the curs who had decided to attack literal babies. 

The Daycare area was already understaffed due to just how large it was, and the one in charge of this section had practically sobbed to the Council (In another world they would have been put on hold for a century in line for their concerns, and then more once a Sarcophagus was opened, but they had told the other ghosts in distress, causing others to let them go up in said line) how they were almost certain they had felt at least one core form Outside the realms thanks to the breach. 

Which had understandably put everyone at an uproar. 

So here he was slipping between shadows to do reconnaissance and take stock of if any Ghostlings had left the city. And gently scruffing those he comes across in exasperation because what are you doing, ghostling? Look at the mess, what would your caretaker say?

Tim Drakes sleep habits save the earth

Part 5 Lady Gotham and Princess Dora

While Fright Knight was bringing Chaos to Oa the Bat clan was in its apocalypse is coming mode. Bruce was in the cave poring over everything Tim had sent him. The fact that he was in the cave wasn’t the strange thing it was the time. Bruce had several important meetings today but the were all canceled he had every lawyer he had and anyone who they knew looking on how to change the anti-ecto acts.

Several of his lawyers were leaving the country as well as there families. They noticed that the wording of the law half of Gotham and other cities with heroes the law could be applied to them. Bruce was seriously thinking of having his entire clan evacuated from America until they were overturned.

For once Lucius Fox was not on his case about canceling the meetings for bat reasons. He was having Luke look into anything that his military contacts could find to help them. Clark had stopped by to get as much information that he could get from them as Lois and Clark were going to alert the public about the acts in a way that won’t cause panic.

”Master Bruce the children will be here in about 15 minutes.”

”How did we miss this? We have entire teams teams looking for laws like this all over the world.”

”we area human Master Bruce we are not perfect nor are we omnipresent. We can try our best and if it is not enough try and fix it.”

The cave turned green as a portal opened. There was a blond green skinned woman in a medieval ballgown. She was followed by a woman she was thin with dark hair gray skin and partially see through she looked like a movie star from the 20’ with a floor length cocktail dress of dark red.

The dark hair woman smiled flashing fangs “my Dark Knight.” She said in a raspy purr.

The blonde girl gave a slight bow. “Hello Knight of Gotham I am Princess Dora of the Dragon kingdom. Lady Gotham speaks highly of you. I wish that we were meeting with better circumstances. Clockwork the ghost of time has told us that your Justice League has just found out about the Anti-Ecto act. We need your help and the help of your clan.”

Bruce looked at the woman and red and deep in his bones he knew her. She was Lady Gotham the shadows of the city the he protected and she protected him. The soul certainty that they would not hurt them. “How can we help you your majesty.”

“Our young King was captured by the GIW he sacrificed himself to save high Princess Ellie Phantom. Fright Knight and Pandora are telling the Green Lanterns what is happening so they can be ready to help when they return to earth we do not want to go to war but your government has struck many blows against us we are to the point that we will not be able to ignore them much longer.” Said Gotham her voice turning rasper the more she talked.

”Would you like some tea with some honey Lady Gotham” asked Alfred.

“That would be lovely”

“Let us retire to the parlor while Princesses Dora and Master Bruce work on how we’re going to save King Phantom.” Alfred offers his arm to Lady Gotham.

Bruce noticed that Gothams cheeks turned a darker gray. As Gotham took his hand and they left the cave.

Dora giggled as the door closed. “If we didn’t have a rescue mission to plan I would want to see what they were up to.”

Bruce blinked in surprise. “Why?”

“ I have known Lady Gotham for most of my afterlife. And in the last 20 years she has spoken more about Alfred than anyone else. If he becomes a Ghost she would start to court him as soon as his Core formed. The fact that she use english to speak to both of you is telling enough. Lady Gotham is not well she has not been for a long time she has trouble speaking mortal languages and being visible in the living realm. The fact that she was able to do this much is thanks to you and your clan’s support.”

It was nice to see that Gotham was healing now it was time to save a king and save the world.

What Was Bound, What Was Loosed Chapter 3

Written for Dannymay Day 6: Core.

.

Ellie took to spending her days in the palace library.

Danny thought he was trapped. Believed he was trapped. So did everyone else. But Ellie didn’t believe it. All cages had keys. Danny had opened hers. It was only right that she return the favor.

(Of course, she wasn’t happy about being stuck herself. There were still things she wanted to see on Earth. She missed the stars.)

The books were old and new. Some were in English, others were in languages she couldn’t even begin to recognize. Most of them had nothing to do with what she was looking for. Like in any library, they were on a wide variety of subjects, all spread out.

Still, she searched. The stack of tomes that had to do with ghostly kingship and the laws of the Infinite Realms grew progressively larger. Occasionally, one of the shades would attempt to put the books back, but they were easily dissuaded, having no will of their own.

She was making progress. Not a lot, but some. Enough to keep her going.

.

Vlad knew when to quit.

Oh, maybe it didn’t seem like it, he was easily as obsessive as any ghost, but he did. Sometimes, a plan just wasn’t feasible, and he had to cut his losses.

Cutting his losses, in this case, meant getting incredibly drunk on ghost wine. Fright Knight didn’t approve, but who cared what he thought? Fright Knight was part of the reason he was in this situation in the first place!

If he had just been warned this would happen, he’d have been able to make arrangements, to find some way to keep his portal open, or to stay in the human world, where his life was.

But no. They were all trapped here. No way out.

When hundreds of ghosts all said the same thing, Vlad was inclined to believe them. Danielle, as motivated as she was, was simply experiencing denial. Or, perhaps, bargaining. He had to admit he was never exactly clear on the stages of grief.

Then, there was Daniel, who seemed to be firmly trapped in the ‘depression’ stage, more of a ghost than Vlad had ever seen him as. He lingered in corners, at the edge of Vlad’s vision, quiet, sad, always flanked by Fright Knight and that other ghost, the one with the clocks.

There were parts of him, his Obsession reasserting itself, that yearned to reach out to Danny, but… He didn’t even know how to begin.

.

Danny felt like a pale, wandering shadow of himself.

Most of the time, he slept, exhausted by the demands the Zone made on him and the continuing changes he was undergoing. The expanding circle of vitality, of rejuvenation, of reconstruction and growth, that so many ghosts were celebrating had to draw energy from somewhere, after all, and even though Danny was absorbing just as much as he was expending, that process made him drowsy in and of itself.

Pain, too, plagued him. His missing eye ached, and sometimes it seemed as if the crown was burrowing into his skull, not merely resting on it. His hand hurt from all his attempts to take off the ring.

He could hardly care for himself in even the most basic of ways. Clockwork often had to remind him, or help him, and he was always so excruciatingly gentle.

Then Vlad and Ellie came.

Their arrival was a relief. Ellie was a friend, was family, and hadn’t been complicit in his betrayal and binding. Vlad had been an enemy, and not even an honest one at that, but essentially everything they’d been at odds over was moot, but he was familiar.

Despite the relief, despite his desire to connect with people who hadn’t hurt him, at least not as badly as everyone else, he hung back. He didn’t know what to do, didn’t know how to bridge the gap.

So, he lurked and lingered. When Ellie went to the library, when Vlad moped and bothered the shades that ordered the kitchen, he followed, he watched.

Clockwork and Fright Knight, of course, followed and watched him in turn.

At least, this is what happened when he was awake and aware enough to do anything. Danny was under the impression that being awake and independently mobile at all this soon after being… coronated… was unusual, perhaps even unnerving. Normally, he’d be curious, excited about new abilities and what they might mean. Maybe he’d even throw around a quip or two about how awesome he was but…

It wasn’t the time, and he didn’t have the willpower to reach for even that dubious coping mechanism.

In the too-numerous times when Danny was both awake and not well enough to follow Ellie and Vlad around, he liked to sit in the garden. It was almost peaceful there, by the fountain, although the plants had a distressing tendency to reflect his every change in mood.

Today was one of those days. He was too dizzy and lightheaded to drift after Vlad or Ellie, even if neither of them moved very much, but he didn’t want to stay in the bedroom, or, worse, the throne room. His core seemed to pulse, sluggish and painful in his chest. Or perhaps that was his heart. He couldn’t really tell with this mixed-up form. It could even be both.

Another slow wave of transformation swept out from him, making his extremities tingle. He watched, tiredly, as it briefly interacted with the walls of the palace and the scattered shades before moving on. The shades… another aspect of all this that Danny wasn’t comfortable with, but couldn’t bring himself to learn more about. They were sustained through his power, but what were they? Extensions of his will? Aspects of his personality? Constructs generated by the palace? By the Ghost Zone itself? He didn’t know.

As much as he should try to learn, he couldn’t help but think of them as yet another imposition, another burden he was being forced to bear.

This wasn’t a healthy mindset. Jazz would tell him as much. Jazz wasn’t here.

“Danny!”

He looked up, his one eye already searching for Ellie. Fright Knight stepped forward, as if to protect him, but Danny snarled at him, annoyed. He wasn’t going to let him get in between him and one of the few people he could currently stand. Clockwork stayed back, passive, but he looked… worried. Uneasy. As if anticipating a disaster.

“Danny!” exclaimed Ellie again, bursting from a bush, a thick book raised above her head. “I found it!”

“Found what?” asked Danny, leaning forward slightly as Ellie joined him sitting on the edge of the fountain.

“A way out!” She opened the book and started flipping through it, obviously looking for a specific entry.

Both Clockwork and Fright Knight looked extremely tense, now. They probably didn’t want him to find this, didn’t want him to leave. Would they try to stop him?

He hunched his shoulders. He might not be well, but he could fight and make it hurt.

“Here!” said Ellie, triumphantly. “Look at this.” She tapped a picture of a bright, spherical object.

“The core of the Infinite Realms?” asked Danny, reading the legend of the picture.

“Uh huh. Apparently, it’s what determines what the Ghost Zone is like as a whole and controls the rules and laws and stuff. Like, even when it comes to what ghosts act like, and what they can physically do, or how the Ghost Zone’s physics behave. But the important part is that you can go talk to it and petition it and stuff, and sometimes it’ll listen. I bet we can get it to listen to you and make it so that the Ghost Zone doesn’t need a king anymore.”

Danny felt a flutter of hope. The book was old from what he could see, and, ignoring Ellie’s paraphrasing, the language was fantastical and couched in metaphor, but still if there was a possibility…

Near their feet, small, bright flowers began to bloom, each no larger than the head of a pin.

“Daniel,” said Clockwork, in a careful, soft tone. It wasn’t pity, not quite, but it was the verbal equivalent of being handled with kid gloves. “It doesn’t work like that.”

“Then what is it like?” asked Danny, hunching his shoulders and leaning protectively over Ellie.

“What do you think the King of the Infinite Realms is?” asked Clockwork.

Danny shrugged. Clockwork gave him a small, pained smile.

“The King of Ghosts and the core of the Ghost Zone,” said Clockwork, “they’re the same.”

Danny shook his head, unwilling to let this scrap of hope slip through his fingers so easily.

“Please, Daniel,” said Clockwork. “Why do you think it was so vital that you be crowned? The Realms cannot exist without their core.”

It made sense. A horrible, horrible sense.

“That doesn’t make sense,” said Ellie. “The core’s supposed to be the basis the whole Zone is built on. That can’t just be one person.”

“The library has some books on the subject,” said Clockwork. “But you can see how Daniel is changing things.”

Danny felt his hope collapse and doubled over, hands on his head, face almost touching his legs. A scream bubbled up in his throat, but he swallowed it. All those people, everywhere, his responsibility, his… Not just the people, everything. Everywhere. Not just his responsibility, but relying on him, modeled on him, dependent on him, centered on him.

He wasn’t just the Ghost Zone’s ruler, nominal or not, he was its heart.

“Danny?” asked Ellie. He looked up.

There were blast lines in the ground, radiating away from him. The fountain was cracked and leaking water. Fright Knight had, evidently, grabbed Ellie and leaped away, into the air.

Clockwork hadn’t left, still leaning towards Danny. There was a jagged, dripping slice across his shoulder. Danny gasped, reaching towards him.

“It’s alright,” said Clockwork. “It’s alright.”

“I can’t be,” said Danny. “I can’t be. I’m—I can’t be part of the Ghost Zone. Not—Not like that. That’s not—I can’t be what the Ghost Zone is built on, it doesn’t make sense, I…”

“It’s alright,” repeated Clockwork. “Would you like to go inside? You may feel better if you eat something.”

“Don’t want to bother Vlad,” mumbled Danny. Didn’t want another person to see him crumbling like this.

“We can send something up to your room,” said Clockwork.

He did feel tired. The fountain was repairing itself behind and underneath him. He groaned as the ground beneath him pulled together as well.

“I don’t want to be the core of the Ghost Zone,” he said, knowing that what he wanted was not and never had been a consideration. “I don’t want to be king. I don’t want to be in charge of anything.” He grabbed the edges of Clockwork’s robe, ignoring the moisture despite the pang of guilt it brought him. “I want to go home. And I…” His words failed as he reached for Clockwork’s injury. “I don’t want to do this.”

“This is nothing, Daniel,” putting a gloved hand over the wound. “I have had far worse.”

It started to rain. Great, heavy droplets of water tainted with just enough ectoplasm to glow.

It was one way to hide tears, he supposed.

Some Danny Phantom Headcanons of mine

That I may or may not use in future fanfictions.

During his time as a human on earth, Walker founded the Guys in White as a means of "efficiently" dealing with ghosts. Walker would die during a prison riot in the year 1916. He never got a chance to meet his grandkids or grand nieces.

Ghosts that had lives on Earth, hold very little recollection of their time. The vague memories build most of their personalities, influencing their powers, ghost cores, planes in the Ghost Zone, etc. It's unknown (or is it!? ;)) what exactly happens to ghosts that gain all their lost memories, but most don't desire to learn them.

The strongest power a ghost can have is reflective of how they died. This is known as "Ghost Core Breaking". Hence why Danny's strongest ghost power is the Ghostly Wail. He was screaming while inside the Ghost Portal. It's also why he passes out when using it sometimes.

The first known ghost portal was invented during WW2. The research was lost and most files were destroyed. Until some were found again one day by Jack Fenton.

Ghost hunting technology increased during WW2. With a project labeled "Sojurn's Tempest" being only known to a select few individuals.

Sam and Tucker had only a 70/30 chance of dying versus becoming half ghosts of they were in Danny's place. Danny on the other hand, had only no chance if dying fully in the Ghost Portal. A fact that carries over to Vlad Masters. And Jack Fenton in an alternate timeline. Neither are aware of the fact yet.

Ghost hunting technology has been around since the 1880s. More mystical and magical practices have been around since early civilizations.

Casper High has actually a very low mortality rate.

Other halfas have been around throughout human history. Some due to the natural Ghost Portals, some due to other reasons.

Why do natural ghosts coexist with ghosts that had lives on Earth? The Ghost Zone is the remains a dead universe. For example, Time itself "died" and Clockwork came into existence.

Johnny 13 and Kitty both died during the 1950s while on a ride on Johnny's motorcycle. Shadow is a natural ghost. Who may or may not be responsible.

Freakshow did in fact know Lydia during her human life and shared a romantic relationship with her.

Jazz doesn't believe any of Danny's adventures with the Nicktoons for a second.

Maddie has a couple of cousins, but they are in very little contact with each other.

Nicholai Technus had a Tech company during his life on Earth. His grandkid has some interest in reopening up the company.

Ember not her real name, just a theme for one of her songs and Mr. Lancer did in fact go to Casper High together. They weren't exactly "friends" but he was nice to her. He feels some guilt over her not finishing High School and being largely ignored by teachers. Influencing his position as a better teacher than the ones they had.

Danny has yet to "summon" his place in the Ghost Zone, due to not coming to grips with who he is yet.

Dani has been on some adventures of her own around the world. She's decided to change her name after realizing she needs an identity outside of Danny. She's even befriended Youngblood.

The Ecto Black Holes are to blame for all the natural Ghost Portals, due to their destructive nature.

Sojurn and Clockwork are friends.

The Unworld is inhabited by ghosts that slowly fade into nothing more than words and thoughts. Once completed faded, the ghosts reincarnate.

The Elsewhereness is immediately reached by people that have no ties or anything holding them back when they die.

Lunch Lady did in fact work at Casper High during her human years.

Jazz would've been a halfa if she was in Danny's position.

Box Ghost's death was being crushed under a bunch of boxes. During his time as a human, he was trying to find someone in a box.

In terms of halfas being able to produce children, there's a high chance they would die. They already use enough energy to stabilize their bodies.

Or maybe halfas can choose to pass on their ghost half or not. It's very up in the air.

Poindexter's parents did sue Casper High when he died. The high school is not the most popular in America.

Sam's parents might not be hers.

If Danny were to get his own realm in the Ghost Zone, it would be a floating city surrounded by moon sized planetoids. Each Planetoid would house something something relating to Danny on a personal level.

The Ghost of Space is intrigued by Danny, but tells Clockwork repeatedly that he has yet to be fully impressed by the Ghost Boy. A meeting in the future?

Yes, Danny has powers relating to space. He has yet to awaken them yet, as his status as a halfa never made him think if he had two ghost cores.

There used to be multiple Ghost Kings and Queens, but Pariah Dark made sure to dispose of them.

The Fright Knight used to be in charge of transporting souls to the Ghost Zone, but he has since left that duty.

Valerie's mom is a very... tough subject. Mostly cause Valerie isn't aware she faked her death.

Skulker was a ghost hunter in his youth during his human life.

Youngblood during his human life, grew up in an orphanage watching other kids play and get adopted. Pretending to be a pirate to take his mind off of things. Fueling his resentment and obsession as a ghost.

Danny is obsessed with saving and helping people. He's not aware of it yet.

Ghostwriter died choking on a Christmas sugar cookie, just before he got a chance to finish his masterpiece.

Vlad's obsession is perfection and ruling over everyone with an iron fist.

If Danny were to ever get weapons, they would definitely be knives (or some variant) as he is more of a close range brawler.

Magic definitely exists in the DPverse.

Danny's ghost half is purely ectoplasm from the Ghost Zone. Not from another ghost. Little does he know, he's giving it a bit more sentience each and every day.

Or maybe he's secretly related to another ghost we have yet to meet. Maybe the Ghost Zone is secret sentient? Who knows?

Danny Phantom Ghost Origin Categorization

First, for the sake of my sanity I’ll be limiting this to things shown or said on the show. Widely accepted fanon and wiki knowledge unfortunately do not count, and as usual Butch gets no say.

The categories are as follows: Confirmed Dead, which is self-explanatory; Presumed Dead, since most of the ghosts don’t have defined backstories; Naturally Formed, which were made from the Ghost Zone’s ectoplasm without any spirit attached; Artificial, which is also self-explanatory except for a minor detail that I’ll bring up when it becomes relevant; Concepts, which are the physical manifestation of a particular idea or natural force; and Other, for ghosts that I don’t have enough context to put in the other categories. And also Boxed Lunch. Boxed Lunch is weird.

With all that said, let’s begin.

Confirmed Dead

Desiree (died of old age, trauma of broken heart created ghost form) 

Sidney Poindexter (suicide)

The Dairy King (cause of death unknown, confirmed due to picture of his living form in Vlad’s mansion)

Cujo the Ghost Dog (euthanized, the only ghost known to have changed his obsession)

The Lunch Lady (cause of death unknown, confirmed due to her knowledge of Casper High’s cafeteria menu and room layout marking her as having either worked or learned there in the past)

The Flying Dutchman (cause unknown, likely drowning via shipwreck, yes I know he’s a Spongebob character but due to the Nicktoons games he and Danny have technically met, confirmed due to admitting it outright)

Danny Phantom (electrocuted by ghost portal, instantaneous, only half)

Vlad Plasmius (electrocuted by ghost portal, succumbed to wounds in hospital long afterwards, only half)

Half-ghost Jack Fenton (electrocuted by ghost portal, succumbed to wounds in hospital long afterwards, only half, exists in alternate timeline)

Hotep RA (cause unknown, confirmed due to originally serving Tucker’s ancestor/former self, Pharaoh Duulaman)

Presumed Dead

Ember McLain (likely burned to death, fears being forgotten)

The Box Ghost (likely crushed by rectangular containers, considers them powerful weapons)

Penelope Spectra (cause unknown, lives off the misery of others, masquerades as a living human)

Nicolai Technus (probably electrocution, might actually be the Concept Ghost of technology though it’s unlikely)

Youngblood (cause unknown, dislike of and inability to be seen by adults may imply neglect)

Walker and his men (likely law enforcement who fell in the line of duty)

Lydia (cause unknown, loyal to crime lord Freakshow the Ringmaster for reasons unknown)

Elastica (cause unknown, trapped under Freakshow’s control for an indeterminate amount of time)

Goliath (cause unknown, trapped under Freakshow’s control for an indeterminate amount of time)

Green Kid (cause unknown, trapped under Freakshow’s control for an indeterminate amount of time)

Ghost Writer (cause unknown, might actually be Concept Ghost of literature)

Jonny 13 and Kitty (cause unknown, likely a motorcycle accident)

Baby Face Boyle (cause unknown)

Klemper (cause unknown, very lonely)

Some background ghosts

The Kingdom of Aragon (specifically its people)

Naturally Formed

Ectopi

Other ghost animals

Blob Ghosts

Some background ghosts (look at the happy green ghost that shows up sometimes and tell me that he doesn’t look sort of like an advanced ectopus)

Skulker (it just seems that way)

Artificial

Ecto Food (Jack Fenton is making carnivorous green macaroni and cheese and will continue to make carnivorous green macaroni and cheese unless we stop him)

Danny Clones (created by Vlad using Danny’s ghost form DNA, unstable)

Dani Phantom (created by Vlad using Danny’s ghost and human form DNA, stabilized by failed prototype of ghost weakening serum created by Jack Fenton)

Shadow (an extension of Jonny 13’s power, has a will of its own)

Lydia’s tattoos (extensions of Lydia’s power)

Sleepwalkers (extensions of Nocturne’s power, I think)

Nightmerica, Femalien and Terminatra (created by Desiree due to Sam Manson unintentionally “wishing” to hurt Paulina Sanchez)

Sayonara Pussycat (created by Desiree due to Paulina wishing to be as popular as the character, extracted from host by Danny Phantom)

Tucker Phantom (created by Desiree due to Tucker wishing for ghost powers, extracted from host by the Fenton Ghost Catcher)

Dan Plasmius (created by combining Danny Phantom and Vlad Plasmius after splitting them from their human halves in an alternate timeline, exists in the current timeline due to complicated Time Stuff)

Freakshow (created via the Reality Gauntlet, existed for all of a few minutes)

And now we get into that other part I mentioned. Basically, if something has the ghostly aura (that white outline we all love so much) without being directly affected by a ghost, I register that as the thing having its own ectoplasmic field, and thus technically a ghost itself. The Fenton Exo-suit’s Phantom form doesn’t count, since it only has the aura if a ghost is piloting it. This is mostly just so I can add more things to the list, honestly

Red Huntress 2.0 (created via a combination of the Red Huntress 1.0 suit and Technus’s power, you can pry this idea from my cold dead ectoplasmicly charged hands) (note: this does not make Valerie a ghost, just her suit)

Skulker’s Body (created by Skulker; a robotic suit of armor infused with his ectoplasmic signature; motor functions, sensors, physical projectiles and flight system do not require ectoplasm to function)

Car-Puter (remote controlled robot created by Technus, I know it’s from Phantom Planet but it was really cool guys)

The Sphinx (I think. Maybe. It seemed that way at least)

The Flying Dutchman’s Ship (an echo of his original, currently wrecked ship)

Youngblood’s Ship (possibly an extention of his power, I’m not sure, fueled by manual labor)

Jonny’s Motorcycle (the thing can fly)

Concepts

Clockwork and the Observants (spirits of Time)

Pandora and her kingdom (spirits of Greek Mythology)

Undergrowth (spirit of Vegetation)

Vortex (spirit of Weather and Natural Disasters)

Pariah Dark (the Ghost King, not actually a Concept Ghost but very similar)

Fright Knight (spirit of Fear in general and Halloween in particular, right-hand man of whoever wields the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage, usually Pariah Dark)

Nocturne (spirit of Dreams, far less powerful than the other concept ghosts without aid)

Other

Frostbite and the Yetis of the Far Frozen

Wulf (seriously, he’s cool, but Esperanto-speaking Wolf-man doesn’t exactly give me much to work off of)

Monster Cat

The Behemoth

Vlad’s Vulture Lackeys

Ember’s Band

Poindexter’s Classmates (are they extensions of Poindexter’s power turned inwards or just the ghost versions of themselves, just as consumed by what happened to him as he is?)

Pariah Dark’s Skeleton Army

Youngblood’s Skeleton Crew, especially the Parrot

Bertrand

Amorpho (shapeshifters in general, since I can’t fall back on my Warp Core theory during this)

Boxed Lunch (oh, very much Boxed Lunch)

Most of the background ghosts, especially the butcher with an eyeball for a head

Edit: Can’t believe I forgot the title. I should’ve just gone to bed.

[emo-crowgirl]

Ghost classifications:

Ghosts have their own forms of taxonomic ranks used to identify different ghost species.

For anyone that doesn’t know what a taxonomic rank is, it’s basically a bunch of different labels in a specific order from most vague to least vague used to identify different types of animals.

The lower the rank is, the more specific the results are. (The species rank in the image (Vulpes vulpes) is only given to Red foxes, While the domain rank (Eukarya) is given to just about every single multicellular organism on earth.)

Ghosts have their own basic version that goes:

Origin -> species -> core.

The power level of the ghost is sometimes used as optional extra data, but isn’t a real taxonomic rank because a ghost’s power level can change over time.

A ghosts origin can explained using this chart.

Human-born ghosts originally lived in the human world and came to the ghost zone after they died.

Zone-born ghosts were either created by the zone itself or were birthed from another ghost.

Sentient ghosts are ghosts with a human level of intelligence or greater.

Animalistic ghosts are ghosts with the same level of intelligence as an animal.

Skulker, for example, is a Sentient Zone-Born ghost, While Cujo is classified as an Animalistic Human-Born ghost.

A ghosts species is just what type of ghost they are. This could range from Poltergeists to Wraiths, Demons, phantoms, banshees and a couple hundred more.

Skulker, for another example, is classified as a type of blob ghost.

A ghosts core is just what type of core they have. Simple as that.

Using Skulker as yet another example, his full classification is: Sentient zone-born -> blob -> fire.

Clockwork’s full classification is: Sentient zone-born -> ancient-> time.

A blob ghost would be: Animalistic zone-born -> blob -> Coreless.

Danny’s is: Sentient human-born -> banshee -> ice.

Vlad is: Sentient human-born -> demon -> fire.

Shadow is: Animalistic Zone-born -> shadow -> shadow.

Pariah dark is: Sentient zone-born -> primordial -> [UNKNOWN]

Fright knight is: Sentient human-born -> pseudo-ancient -> fire.

HC: Dan deafeated Pariah from his timeline and ate his core. He didn't know it but rightly won the title and become King, King of a kingdom where everybody feared him. Then when the timeline disappeared, King of a fallen kingdom with no subjects. When the Pariah from the present timeline return; Dan, trying to help and save the friends & family he made on his redemption journey, was able to summon a sword, the true symbol of the Ghost King, only able to be raised by “pure hearts”.

The shadow of a dark crown and ring proudly fogged above his head and around his finger.

I guess I can realism haha 🥴, ty my friends for bullying me to try & their help

Dan will still stay abrasive and kind of an jerk, but he has now family and friends to protect, who accepted him and love him (the Fenton Squad, his best bro Fright Knight, Plasmius a bit, Clockwork…). This is why he was able to raise the sword.

Dan is scared to love again and attached himself; creating bonds again. When he sees love or affection he got scared and flees, because he isn’t supposed to love and he isn’t supposed to be loved, it isn’t supposed to feel good or right.

He told himself that he is supposed to bring destruction and hate, not having loved-ones. He is supposed to be a monster, not a friend. He is supposed to be alone, not be surrounded and accepted. He isn’t supposed to be forgiven, and should remain alone, always alone.

Dan sometimes is agressive, borderline mean and cruel toward who he cares about, so they would resent him and leave him alone. Not long ago he would have been able to kill them, to be left alone, but now he can’t anymore and it’s terrifying him that he can’t kill some people anymore. He is terrified to care.

He is afraid to love people, but craving it as well. He is afraid to lose them and be left alone again.
