Did some doodles, trying to work out how I want the ghost character to operate. I think there's likely to be a core cloud that hangs directly from the mask, and an outer aura that allows it to interact with objects and people.
Personality-wise, I think sort of a sarcastic dead-pan kind of character, like some sort of mix between GLaDos and Jack Dee.

I have an idea on how to achieve an aura effect in Flash similar to that which is in the coloured/shaded doodle in the middle there, but it'd be filter-heavy and so would be rather cpu-intensive, and may well lead to Flash crashing when trying to animate it. But hey, it's worth a shot and might look cool, so I'll probably doodle up something in Flash to give it a shot.
